ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

MERGER 

InSight Health Services Corp. ("InSight" or the "Company") is a Delaware
corporation formed on February 23, 1996 in connection with the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of February 26, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement"), among
American Health Services Corp., a Delaware corporation ("AHS"), Maxum Health
Corp., a Delaware corporation ("MHC" or "Maxum"), InSight and two wholly owned
subsidiaries of InSight, AHSC Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation ("AHSC
Acquisition"), and MXHC Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation ("MXHC
Acquisition").  Each of AHS and MHC were publicly held providers of diagnostic
imaging, treatment and related management services. Pursuant to the terms of the
Merger Agreement, (i) AHSC Acquisition merged with and into AHS and MXHC
Acquisition merged with and into Maxum (collectively, the "Merger"), (ii) each
outstanding share of common stock, par value $.03 per share, of AHS ("AHS Common
Stock") was converted into the right to receive one-tenth of a share of common
stock, par value $.001 per share, of InSight ("InSight Common Stock"), (iii)
each outstanding share of Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$.03 per share, of AHS ("AHS Series B Preferred Stock") which was convertible
into 100 shares of AHS Common Stock was converted into the right to receive 10
shares of InSight Common Stock, (iv) each outstanding share of Series C
Preferred Stock, par value $.03 per share, of AHS (the "AHS Series C Preferred
Stock"), which was issued immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger,
was converted into the right to receive 1.25088 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, par value $.001 per share, of InSight (the "InSight Series A Preferred
Stock"), (v) each outstanding share of common stock, par value $.01 per share,
of Maxum ("Maxum Common Stock") was converted into the right to receive .598 of
a share of InSight Common Stock, (vi) each outstanding share of Series B
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, of Maxum (the "Maxum Series B
Preferred Stock"), which was issued immediately prior to the consummation of the
Merger, was converted into the right to receive 83.392 shares of InSight Series
A Preferred Stock, and (vii) each outstanding option, warrant or other right to
purchase AHS Common Stock and Maxum Common Stock was converted into the right to
acquire, on the same terms and conditions, shares of InSight Common Stock, with
the number of shares and exercise price applicable to such option, warrant or
other right adjusted based on the applicable exchange ratio for the underlying
AHS Common Stock or Maxum Common Stock. 

On June 25, 1996, the stockholders of both MHC and AHS approved the Merger. On
June 26, 1996, MHC and AHS became wholly owned subsidiaries of InSight, and the
stockholders of MHC and AHS became stockholders of InSight. MHC and AHS were
organized in 1989 and 1982, respectively. 

On September 13, 1996, AHS changed its name to InSight Health Corp. ("IHC").

The principal executive offices of InSight are located at 4400 MacArthur Blvd.,
Suite 800, Newport Beach, California 92660, and its telephone number is (714)
476-0733. 

RECAPITALIZATION

On October 14, 1997, InSight consummated a recapitalization 
("Recapitalization") pursuant to which (a) certain investors affiliated with 
TC Group, LLC and its affiliates (collectively, "Carlyle"), a private 
merchant bank headquartered in Washington, D.C., made a cash investment of 
$25 million in the Company and received therefor (i) 25,000 shares of newly 
issued InSight Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B, par  value $0.001 per 
share ("Series B Preferred Stock"), initially convertible, at the option of 
the holders thereof, in the aggregate into 2,985,075 shares of InSight Common 
Stock, and (ii) warrants (the "Carlyle Warrants") to purchase up to 250,000 
shares of InSight Common Stock at the current exercise price of $10.00 per 
share; (b) General Electric Company ("GE") (i) surrendered its rights with 
respect to its supplemental service fee (see Item 7.  "Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," 
below) in exchange for (A) the issuance of 7,000 shares of newly issued 
InSight Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C, par value $0.001 per share 
("Series C Preferred Stock"), initially convertible, at the option of the 
holders thereof, in the aggregate into 835,821 shares of InSight Common 
Stock, and (B) warrants (the "GE Warrants") to purchase up to 250,000 shares 
of InSight Common Stock at the current exercise price of $10.00 per share, 
and (ii) agreed to exchange all of its InSight Convertible Preferred Stock, 
Series A, on the business day (the "Second Closing") after all waiting 
periods with respect to GE's filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust 
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, have expired or been terminated, for an 
additional 20,953 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, initially convertible, 
at the option of the holders thereof, in the aggregate into 2,501,760 shares 
of InSight Common Stock; and (c) the Company executed a Credit Agreement with 
NationsBank, 

                                          2
<PAGE>
N.A. pursuant to which NationsBank, as agent, committed to provide a total of
$125 million in senior secured credit, including a $50 million acquisition
facility, upon the satisfaction of certain customary conditions (the "Bank
Financing").

Pursuant to the terms of the Recapitalization, the number of directors 
comprising the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") is currently fixed 
at nine.  Six directors (the "Common Stock Directors") are to be elected by 
the common stockholders, one of whom (the "Joint Director") is to be proposed 
by Carlyle and GE and approved by a majority of the Board in its sole 
discretion.  Of the three remaining directors, two are to be elected by the 
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and one is to be elected by the 
holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, subject to increase and decrease in 
certain circumstances.  Presently, the Board of Directors of the Company 
consists of seven directors, five of whom are Common Stock Directors and two 
of whom are Preferred Stock Directors elected by Carlyle.  GE has informed 
the Company of its intention to wait until the Second Closing to elect its 
Preferred Stock Director.  The vacancy created for the Joint Director has not 
been filled.

CENTERS IN OPERATION 

InSight provides diagnostic imaging, treatment and related management services
in 26 states throughout the United States. InSight's services are provided
through a network of 35 mobile magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI") facilities
("Mobile Facilities"), 28 fixed-site MRI facilities ("Fixed Facilities"), ten
multi-modality imaging centers ("Centers"), two Leksell Stereotactic Gamma Unit
treatment centers ("Gamma Knife"), and one radiation oncology center.  An
additional radiation oncology center is operated by the Company as part of one
of its Centers.  The Company's operations are located throughout the United
States, with a substantial presence in California, primarily Los Angeles county,
and northern Texas, primarily the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex. 

At its Centers, InSight offers other services in addition to MRI including
diagnostic and fluoroscopic x-ray, mammography, diagnostic ultrasound, nuclear
medicine, nuclear cardiology, computed tomography ("CT") and cardiovascular
services.  The Company offers additional services through a variety of
arrangements including equipment rental, technologist services and
training/applications, marketing, radiology management services, patient
scheduling, utilization review and billing and collection services. 

DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING  AND TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY 

During approximately the last 20 years, there has been a major effort undertaken
by the medical and scientific communities to develop cost-effective diagnostic
imaging technologies and to minimize the risks associated with the application
of such technologies. The major categories of diagnostic imaging systems
currently offered in the medical marketplace are conventional x-ray, CT
scanners, digital ultrasound systems, computer-based nuclear gamma cameras,
radiography/fluoroscopy systems and MRI systems, each of which (other than
conventional x-ray) represents the marriage of computer technology and various
medical imaging modalities. Patients exposed to x-rays and to gamma rays
employed in nuclear medicine receive potentially harmful ionizing radiation.
Much of the thrust of product development during the period has been to reduce
the hazards associated with conventional x-ray and nuclear medicine techniques
and to develop new, virtually harmless imaging technologies such as ultrasound
and MRI. 

X-RAY   X-ray is the most common energy source used in imaging the body and is
now employed in the three following imaging modalities: (i) conventional x-ray
systems, the oldest method of imaging, are typically used to image bones and
contrast-enhanced vasculature and organs and constitute the largest number of
installed systems; (ii) CT scanners utilize computers to produce cross-sectional
images of particular organs or areas of the body; and (iii) digital x-ray
systems add computer image processing capability to conventional x-ray systems. 

ULTRASOUND   Ultrasound systems emit, detect and process high frequency sound
waves to generate images of soft tissues and internal body organs. The sound
waves used in ultrasound do not involve ionizing radiation and are not known to
cause any harmful effects to the patient. 

NUCLEAR MEDICINE   Nuclear medicine gamma cameras, which are based upon the
detection of gamma radiation generated by radioactive pharmaceuticals injected
or inhaled into the body, are used to provide information about organ function
as opposed to anatomical structure. 

MRI TECHNOLOGY  InSight believes that the introduction of MRI technology into 
the health care marketplace marked a significant advance in diagnostic 
medicine. Magnetic resonance is a technique that utilizes low energy 
radiowaves to manipulate protons (usually hydrogen) in the body. MRI systems 
place patients in a magnetic field. Once in the magnetic field, the protons 
in a patient's body will tend to align with the magnetic field. Radio 
frequency ("RF") waves, produced by a radio antenna coil which surrounds the 
body part to be imaged, are "pulsed" 

                                          3
<PAGE>
against the magnetic field. The RF energy is then turned off, and the protons
are observed for different types of behavior, movement or "relaxation."
Different tissues have different relaxation times, depending on the amount of
hydrogen or water in each proton. The data on each proton's behavior is
collected digitally by the system's computer and then reconstructed into
cross-sectional images in three dimensional planes of orientation. The resulting
image reproduces soft tissue anatomy (as found in the brain, spinal cord and
interior ligaments of body joints such as the knee) with superior clarity, not
available by any other currently existing imaging modality. A typical MRI
examination takes from 30 to 90 minutes. MRI systems are typically priced in the
range of $0.9 million to $2 million each, depending upon the system
configuration, magnet design and field strength. 

There are no known hazards to the general population from magnetic and RF fields
of the intensity to which a patient is exposed in a clinical MRI system.
Equipment literature nonetheless recommends that, until further information is
available, pregnant women should be scanned only under limited circumstances.
Furthermore, MRI magnets may disrupt the operation of cardiac pacemakers and may
react with ferrous clips utilized in various surgical procedures, so that
individuals with such devices may be excluded from examination with MRI systems,
and access to the area surrounding the MRI facility may also be controlled to
avoid these possible hazards. Additionally, some MRI examinations require
injection of a paramagnetic contrast material. Although it is extremely unusual,
some patients may develop a significant adverse reaction to this contrast
material; however, chances of fatalities as a result of such reaction are
remote. 

Because the signals used to produce magnetic resonance images contain both
chemical and structural information, InSight believes this technique has greater
potential for many important diagnostic applications than any other imaging
technology currently in use. While existing MRI systems demonstrate excellent
portrayals of anatomical structures within the human body, of even greater
significance is the fact that MRI is also sensitive to subtle differences
between tissues. Thus, MRI offers not only the opportunity for highly effective
classical diagnosis, but also the potential for future monitoring of chemical
processes within the body. 

Recent technological advances in software and gradient coil technology for MRI
systems have allowed equipment with lower magnetic field strength and open
architecture design to offer significantly improved image quality. These systems
use permanent electromagnetic technology rather than superconductivity magnets,
substantially lowering both siting and service costs. The open design allows for
studies not normally possible in conventional MRI systems, including
claustrophobic patients, extremely large patients (from 300 to 400 pounds) and
for musculoskeletal exams which require the patient to move or flex, such as
kinematic knee studies. Manufacturers are marketing these open MRI systems at
costs below most state Certificate of Need ("CON") requirements. The reduced
equipment costs, combined with lower siting and service expense, may make MRI
technology feasible at some rural hospitals and other new market locations where
patient volume and reimbursement do not financially justify the expense of a
conventional MRI system.  Open MRI systems are priced in the range of $0.6
million to $1 million.

CT   CT technology consists of a doughnut-shaped gantry structure into which a
patient, resting on a remotely controlled couch assembly, is positioned to scan
the anatomical region of interest. The scanning process is performed by the
rotation of a high output x-ray tube around the patient. The x-ray tube emits a
thin fan-shaped beam of x-rays that passes through the patient and is absorbed
by an array of x-ray detectors located on the opposite side of the patient from
the x-ray tube. The detected x-rays are then converted into digital measurements
of x-ray intensity directly proportional to the density of the portion of the
patient through which the beam passes. These digital measurements of x-ray
intensity are then processed by a specialized image reconstruction computer
system into a cross-sectional image of the anatomical region of interest. The
patient is then indexed on the couch and another scan performed and then
another, creating a "stack" of cross-sectional images constituting the complete
diagnostic imaging procedure. 

Typical scanning times for a single cross-sectional image are in the one second
to six second range. A complete CT examination takes from 15 minutes to 45
minutes, depending on the complexity of the examination and number of individual
cross-sectional images required. The current selling prices of CT systems fall
in the range of $0.3 million to $1.5 million depending upon the specific
performance characteristics of the systems. Based on the fact that CT systems
have been commercially marketed for approximately 20 years, InSight believes
that CT is a relatively mature technology and, therefore, not subject to
significant risk of obsolescence. 

                                          4
<PAGE>
Certain CT examinations require the injection of an iodine-based contrast
material, allowing for better visualization of the anatomy. Although it is very
unusual, some patients may develop a significant adverse reaction to this
contrast material. Fatalities as a result of such reaction have occurred but are
rare. In an effort to scan only appropriate patients, all patients are required
to answer a questionnaire which helps to identify those patients who may suffer
an adverse reaction to this contrast material. 

GAMMA KNIFE    The Leksell Stereotactic Gamma Unit is a state-of-the-art
radiosurgical device used to treat intracranial neoplasma and vascular anomalies
which are inaccessible or unsuitable for conventional invasive surgery. The
Gamma Knife was designed to provide neurosurgeons and radiation therapists with
the ability to perform radiosurgery, using high energy gamma rays, instead of
conventional invasive techniques (open surgery), thereby generally eliminating
the risk of infection and intracerebral bleeding. 

The Gamma Knife delivers a single high dose of ionizing radiation emanating from
201 Cobalt 60 sources positioned about a hemispherical, precision machined
cavity. Each individual beam is focused on a common target producing an intense
concentration of radiation at the target site, destroying the lesion while
spreading the entry radiation dose uniformly and harmlessly over the patient's
skull. The mechanical precision of the Gamma Knife at the target site is 1/10 of
one millimeter (0.1 mm), making the Gamma Knife an ideal treatment device for
treating small or medium-sized lesions in critical locations within the brain.
However, based upon the type, size and/or location of such lesions, not all
patients are candidates for radiosurgery. The mechanical precision of the Gamma
Knife is coupled with an extremely sharp fall-off in the radiation intensity
surrounding the target, resulting in a highly localized treatment effect,
sparing surrounding tissue. 

The Gamma Knife treatment requires no open surgical intervention, no lengthy
hospital stay and no risk of post-surgical bleeding or infection. When compared
to the average length of stay and costs associated with conventional surgery,
the Gamma Knife greatly reduces the cost of neurosurgical treatment. Typical
treatment time is approximately 10 to 15 minutes per area of interest
("isocenter"). A key feature of the Gamma Knife is its ability to perform
treatments that require multiple isocenters. In addition, other applications for
the Gamma Knife are currently being developed. Investigative work is being
conducted to treat patients for chronic pain and motion disorders such as
Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and trigeminal neuralgia. These new applications
represent a significant new market for the Gamma Knife upon clinical acceptance.
The current selling price of a Gamma Knife system is approximately $3 million. 

STRATEGY AND MARKETING 

InSight believes a consolidation in the diagnostic imaging industry is occurring
and is necessary in order to provide surviving companies the opportunity to
achieve operating and administrative efficiencies through consolidation.
InSight's primary objective is to provide diagnostic imaging, treatment and
related management services to hospitals, physicians and their patients. The
Company does not engage in the practice of medicine.  The strategy of InSight is
focused on five interrelated initiatives:  (i) the consolidation of the highly
fragmented, diagnostic imaging industry through the acquisition of organizations
which either strategically fit into its regional networking strategy or provide
significant cost savings through the consolidation of duplicative
infrastructures, (ii) development of a radiology co-source product where InSight
will provide management services for radiology departments within hospitals,
(iii) development of regional networks of radiology providers and physicians
designed to provide the highest quality and most cost-effective unit of
diagnostic information to the broadest population in a given market, (iv)
development of a network of open MRI systems to protect InSight's existing high
field MRI market and to expand in markets in which InSight does not have a
presence and (v) new business initiatives focused on broadening its range of
services to managed care organizations, hospitals and physician management
companies to include radiology management services; information management
services; billing and collections; technologist services and training
applications; marketing; equipment rental and continued evaluation of
opportunities with emerging technologies. InSight believes that long-term
viability is contingent upon its ability to successfully participate in this
industry consolidation. 

In fiscal 1997, InSight completed three acquisitions of Centers and Mobile
Facilities and in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, InSight completed one
acquisition of a Center and entered into a definitive agreement for the purchase
of another Center, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.  Also, in
fiscal 1997, an open MRI system was installed and became operational at one of
the Company's Fixed Facilities and a second open MRI system was installed at one
of the Company's Centers, subject to the issuance of a CON.  The CON has been
received and InSight expects the open MRI system to become operational in the
second quarter of 1998.  In addition, in the first quarter of 1998, InSight 
entered into two joint venture arrangements for the development of two open MRI
Centers.

                                          5 <PAGE>

The foregoing acquisitions and developments have been financed by GE.  Upon 
the effectiveness of the Bank Financing, the Company believes it will be well 
positioned to pursue additional acquisition and development opportunities.

Certain statements contained in this report are forward-looking statements 
that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The factors that could 
cause actual results to differ materially include the following: availability 
of financing; limitations and delays in reimbursement by third-party payors; 
contract renewals and financial stability of customers; technology changes; 
governmental regulation; conditions within the health care environment; 
adverse utilization trends for certain diagnostic imaging procedures; 
aggressive competition; general economic factors; InSight's inability to 
carry out its business strategy due to rising purchase prices of imaging 
centers and companies; and the risk factors listed from time to time in 
InSight's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

GOVERNMENT REGULATION 

The health care industry is highly regulated and changes in laws and 
regulations can be significant. Changes in the law or new interpretation of 
existing laws can have a material effect on permissible activities of 
InSight, the relative costs associated with doing business and the amount of 
reimbursement by government and other third-party payors. The federal 
government and all states in which InSight currently operates regulate 
various aspects of the Company's business. Failure to comply with these laws 
could adversely affect InSight's ability to receive reimbursement for its 
services and subject the Company and its officers to penalties. 

Some states require hospitals and certain other health care facilities to 
obtain a CON prior to the acquisition of major medical equipment such as an 
MRI or Gamma Knife system. InSight believes that it will not be required to 
obtain CONs in most of the states in which it intends to operate, since most 
states no longer require non-hospital providers to obtain CONs and those 
states that do offer exemptions for which the Company may qualify; however, 
in those states where a CON is required, InSight has complied or will comply 
with such requirements. 

Beginning in late 1983, prospective payment regulations became effective 
under the federal Medicare program. The Medicare program provides 
reimbursement for hospitalization, physician, diagnostic and certain other 
services to eligible persons 65 years of age and over and others considered 
disabled. Providers of service are paid by the federal government in 
accordance with regulations promulgated by the United States Department of 
Health and Human Services and accept said payment, with nominal co-insurance 
amounts required to be paid by the service recipient, as payment in full. In 
general, these regulations provide for a specific overall fee which hospitals 
may charge for inpatient treatment services based upon the diagnosis of the 
patient. Because InSight mainly provides services to patients on an 
outpatient basis, the prospective payment regulations do not materially 
affect the Company's business. Although outpatient services are presently 
exempt from prospective payment reimbursement, Congress has instructed the 
Prospective Payment Assessment Commission to study alternative methods for 
reimbursing hospitals for outpatient services, including prospective payment 
methods, and the Medicare program has adopted fee scales for some diagnostic 
services. Such congressional activity reflects industry-wide cost containment 
pressures which InSight believes will affect all health care providers for 
the foreseeable future. 

Private health insurance programs generally have authorized the payment for 
diagnostic imaging and Gamma Knife procedures on satisfactory terms and the 
Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA") has authorized reimbursement 
under the federal Medicare program for all diagnostic imaging and Gamma Knife 
services currently being provided by the Company.  However, if Medicare 
reimbursement is reduced, InSight believes that private health insurance 
programs will also reduce reimbursement in response to reductions in 
government reimbursement which could have an adverse impact on the Company's 
business. 

The Medicaid program is a combined federal and state program providing 
coverage for low income persons. The specific services offered and 
reimbursement methods vary from state to state. In many states, Medicaid 
reimbursement is patterned after the Medicare program.  Changes in Medicaid 
program reimbursement are not expected to have a material adverse impact on 
the Company's business.  InSight is subject to state and federal laws 
prohibiting payments for patient referrals and regulating reimbursement 
procedures and practices under Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental 
health care programs. The Medicare and Medicaid Patient and Program 
Protection Act of 1987 ("1987 Act") prohibits financial arrangements designed 
to induce patient referrals to providers of services which are paid for by 
Medicare or Medicaid. Courts have, to date, interpreted these laws to apply 
to a broad range of financial relationships. Several states also have 
statutes prohibiting arrangements with health care providers which, while 
similar in many respects to the 1987 Act, vary from state to state, are often 
vague and have infrequently been interpreted by courts or regulatory 
agencies. Due to the potentially broad proscriptions

                                       6

contained in these federal and state laws, there can be no assurance that all 
of InSight's business practices would be construed to comply with these laws 
in all respects. However, in the situations where InSight contracts with 
health care providers who may be in a position to refer patients to the 
Company's operations, the Company exercises care in an effort to structure 
its activities and arrangements to comply with applicable federal and state 
laws. InSight maintains an internal regulatory compliance review program and 
retains special counsel, as necessary, to monitor compliance with such laws 
and regulations. 

Under current Medicare policy, imaging centers may generally participate in 
the Medicare program as either medical groups or, subject to the discretion 
of individual Medicare carriers, Independent Physiological Laboratories 
("IPLs").  The IPL is a loosely defined Medicare provider category that is 
not specifically authorized to provide imaging services. Accordingly, certain 
carriers permit IPLs to provide imaging services and others do not.  In the 
past, InSight has preferred, to the extent possible, to operate its imaging 
centers for Medicare purposes as IPLs.  InSight believes that the designation 
of its imaging centers as IPLs gives it greater operational control than it 
would have if its imaging centers were operated under the medical group 
model, where InSight would function as a "manager".

On June 18, 1997, in response to the lack of designation for imaging 
services, HCFA published proposed regulations which, among other things, 
would establish a new category of Medicare provider referred to as an 
Independent Diagnostic Treatment Facility ("IDTF").  The proposed IDTF 
regulations contemplate an effective date of January 1, 1998, although 
InSight's management believes that the effective date could be July 1, 1998.  
If these regulations are implemented, it appears that imaging centers will 
have the option to participate  in the Medicare program as either (i) IDTFs 
or (ii) medical groups.

InSight has evaluated the proposed IDTF regulations for the purpose of 
assessing their potential impact on InSight's operations.  Although InSight 
believes that the impact of the IDTF regulations is likely to be positive 
overall, InSight had a number of concerns and submitted comments to HCFA 
regarding those concerns.  InSight currently anticipates converting its 
imaging centers to IDTFs once that category is available; however, if some of 
the IDTF qualifications and obligations, outlined in the proposed IDTF 
regulations are unmodified, InSight believes that IDTFs may be at a 
substantial competitive disadvantage with those imaging centers operated as 
medical groups.  Accordingly, InSight may consider converting some or all of 
its existing centers into the medical group model, with InSight functioning 
as a "manager" of the radiology group.  This conversion will require the 
cooperation of the radiology groups associated with InSight's imaging centers.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has issued the requisite 
premarket approval for all of the MRI, CT and Gamma Knife systems utilized by 
InSight.  The Company does not believe that any further FDA approval is 
required in connection with equipment currently in operation or proposed to 
be operated. 

The radiologists with whom InSight may enter into agreements to provide 
professional services are subject to licensing and related regulations by the 
states. As a result, the Company requires its radiologists to have and 
maintain appropriate licensure. InSight does not believe that such laws and 
regulations will either prohibit or require licensure approval of its 
business operations, although no assurances can be made that such laws and 
regulations will not be interpreted to extend such prohibitions or 
requirements to InSight's operations. 

MANAGED CARE 

Health Maintenance Organizations ("HMOs") and Preferred Provider 
Organizations ("PPOs") attempt to control the cost of health care services. 
InSight believes that the development and expansion of HMOs, PPOs and other 
managed care organizations will have a negative impact on utilization of 
InSight services in certain markets and/or affect the revenue per procedure 
which the Company can collect, since they will exert greater control over 
patients' access to diagnostic imaging services, the selection of the 
provider of such services and the reimbursement thereof. InSight also expects 
that the excess capacity of equipment in the United States may negatively 
impact operations because of the competition among health care providers for 
contracts with all types of managed care organizations. As a result of such 
competition, the length of term of any contracts which InSight may obtain and 
the payment to the Company for such services may also be negatively impacted. 
InSight nonetheless believes that as long as it is able to negotiate provider 
agreements with the managed care companies and other payors to provide 
productive and cost-efficient services with measurable outcomes, InSight's 
business as a whole should not be negatively impacted. See "Customers and 
Fees".

LIABILITY INSURANCE 

InSight does not provide medical services, although it has obtained 
professional liability insurance as well as general liability insurance. In 
addition, the radiologists or other health care professionals with whom the 
Company contracts are required by such contracts to carry adequate medical 
malpractice insurance. InSight believes that its insurance is adequate for 
its business of providing diagnostic imaging, treatment and related 
management services.

COMPETITION 

The health care industry in general, and the market for diagnostic imaging 
services in particular, are highly competitive. InSight's operations must 
compete with groups of radiologists, established hospitals and certain other 
independent organizations, including equipment manufacturers and leasing 
companies, that own and operate imaging equipment. InSight will continue to 
encounter substantial competition from hospitals and independent 
organizations. Certain hospitals, particularly the larger hospitals, may be 
expected to directly acquire and operate imaging and treatment equipment 
on-site as part of their overall inpatient servicing capability. In the past, 
however, the reluctance of hospitals to purchase imaging and treatment 
equipment encouraged the entry of start-up ventures and more established 
business operations into the diagnostic and treatment services business. As a 
result, there is significant excess capacity in the diagnostic imaging 
business in the United States which negatively affects utilization and 
reimbursement.  Many of these competitors have substantially greater 
resources than InSight; however, the Company competes principally on the 
basis of its reputation for productive and cost-effective quality services. 

CUSTOMERS AND FEES 

InSight's revenues are primarily generated from contract services and patient 
services.  Contract services revenues are generally earned from services 
billed to a hospital or other health care provider which include: (i) 
fee-for-service arrangements in which revenues are based upon a contractual 
rate per procedure, (ii) equipment rental in which revenues are generally 
based upon a fixed monthly rental, and (iii) management fees. Contract 
services revenues are primarily earned through Mobile Facilities and certain 
Fixed Facilities. Patient services revenues are services billed directly to 
patients or third party payors (generally managed care organizations and 
commercial insurance carriers), and are primarily earned through Centers and 
certain Fixed Facilities. 

InSight's operations are principally dependent on its ability (either 
directly or indirectly through its hospital customers) to attract referrals 
from physicians and other health care providers representing a variety of 
specialties.  The Company's eligibility to provide service in response to a 
referral is often dependent on the existence of a contractual arrangement 
with the referred patient's insurance carrier (primarily if the insurance is 
provided by a managed care organization).  Managed care contracting has 
become very competitive and reimbursement schedules are nearing Medicare 
reimbursement levels. A decline in referrals and/or reimbursement rates would 
adversely affect InSight's revenues and profits. See "Managed Care". 

InSight's contract services revenues, primarily earned by its Mobile 
Facilities, represent approximately 51% of total revenues. Each year 
approximately one-quarter to one-third of the contract services agreements 
are subject to renewal.  It is expected that some high volume customer 
accounts will elect not to renew their agreements and instead will purchase 
or lease their own diagnostic imaging equipment and some customers may choose 
an alternative services provider.  In the past where agreements have not been 
renewed, the Company has been able to obtain replacement customer accounts; 
however, it is not always possible to obtain replacement accounts and some 
replacement accounts have been smaller than the lost account.  The 
non-renewal of a single customer agreement would not have a material impact 
on InSight's contract services revenues; however, non-renewal of several 
agreements could have a material impact on contract services revenues.  

In addition, the Company's contract services revenues with regard to its 
Mobile Facilities in certain markets depend in part on some customer accounts 
with high volume.  If the future reimbursement levels of such customers were 
to decline or cease or if such customers were to become financially insolvent 
and if such agreements were not replaced with new accounts or with the 
expansion of services on existing accounts, InSight's contract services 
revenues would be adversely affected.

<PAGE>

No single source accounts for more than 10% of InSight's revenues. The 
Company has six individual contracts with the county of Los Angeles (the 
"County") covering six separate sites. In the aggregate, these sites earn 
revenues which represent approximately 10% of InSight's annual revenues. From 
time to time, the County has experienced financial difficulties. If such 
difficulties caused the County to curtail or terminate the Company's 
services, the Company's business would be adversely affected. 

SUPPLY OF DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING AND GAMMA KNIFE SYSTEMS 

InSight continues to evaluate the mix of its MRI equipment in response to 
changes in technology and to the surplus capacity in the marketplace.  The 
overall technological competitiveness of InSight's equipment continues to 
improve through upgrades, disposal and/or trade-in of older equipment and the 
purchase or execution of leases for new equipment. 

Several substantial companies are presently engaged in the manufacture of MRI 
(including open MRI), CT and other diagnostic imaging equipment, including GE 
Medical Systems, Hitachi Medical Systems, Picker International, Philips Medical
Systems, Siemens Medical Systems, Inc. and Toshiba Medical Systems. InSight 
maintains good working relationships with many of the major manufacturers to 
better ensure an adequacy of supply as well as access to those types of 
diagnostic imaging systems which appear most appropriate for the specific 
diagnostic or treatment center to be established. Currently only one company, 
Elekta Instruments, Inc., a subsidiary of AB Elekta headquartered in 
Stockholm, Sweden ("Elekta"), is engaged in the business of manufacturing the 
Gamma Knife. 

EMPLOYEES 

As of September 15, 1997, InSight had approximately 544 full-time and 80 
part-time employees.  None of the Company's employees are covered by a 
collective bargaining agreement. Management believes its employee relations 
to be satisfactory.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

InSight is engaged from time to time in the defense of lawsuits arising out 
of the ordinary course and conduct of its business and has insurance policies 
covering such potential insurable losses where such coverage is 
cost-effective. InSight believes that the outcome of any such lawsuits will 
not have a material adverse impact on the Company's business. 

ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS 

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders during the 
fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.

The Company has never paid a cash dividend on its Common Stock and does not 
expect to do so in the foreseeable future.  The Company's loan agreements 
with its primary lender contain restrictions on its ability to pay dividends 
on its Common Stock. 

As of September 30, 1997, the Company's records indicate that there were in 
excess of 2,500 beneficial holders of the Common Stock and approximately 
535 stockholders of record. 

The following is a list of securities sold by the Company during the period 
covered by this report on Form 10-K which, pursuant to the exemption provided 
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities 
Act"), were not registered under the Securities Act:

On August 10, 1996, the Company issued to the former holders of IHC Series B 
Preferred Stock, in consideration for certain agreements in connection with 
the Merger, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of InSight 
Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.64 per share.  The warrants are fully 
vested and exercisable at any time up to August 9, 2001.

On August 14, 1996, the Company issued to Shattuck Hammond Partners, Inc. 
("SHP"), an investment banking firm in which a director of the Company, Grant 
R. Chamberlain, is a vice president, a warrant to purchase 35,000 shares of 
InSight Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share.  The warrant 
was issued as partial consideration  for SHP's agreement to provide general 
strategic advisory and investment banking services during the 18-month period 
commencing July 1, 1996 and ending December 31, 1997.  The warrant vests 
cumulatively on a monthly basis over the term of such agreement.

ITEM 6.     SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA 

On June 26, 1996, pursuant to the Merger Agreement each of MHC and IHC became 
a wholly owned subsidiary of InSight.  The Merger was accounted for using the 
purchase method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles. MHC has been treated as the acquirer for accounting 
purposes, based upon relative revenues, book values and other factors.  The 
selected consolidated financial data presented as of and for the year ended 
June 30, 1997, the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 (unaudited), and 
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992 has been derived 
from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and should be 
read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related 
notes as of and for the year ended June 30, 1997, the six months ended June 
30, 1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and "Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,"

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase understanding 
of, and should be read in conjunction with Item 1. "Business", and Item 8. 
"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data", included elsewhere in this 
report.

ACQUISITIONS 

InSight believes a consolidation in the diagnostic imaging industry is 
occurring and is necessary in order to provide surviving companies the 
opportunity to achieve operating and administrative efficiencies through 
consolidation.  The strategy of InSight will be focused on five interrelated 
initiatives:  (i) consolidation of the highly fragmented diagnostic imaging 
industry through acquisition of organizations which either strategically fit 
into its regional networking strategy or provide significant cost savings; 
(ii) development of a radiology co-source product where InSight will provide 
management services for radiology departments within hospitals, (iii) 
development of regional networks of radiology providers and physicians 
designed to provide the highest quality and most cost-effective unit of 
diagnostic information to the broadest population in a given market, (iv) 
development of a network of open MRI systems and (v) new business initiatives 
focused on broadening its range of services to managed care organizations, 
hospitals and physician management companies to include radiology management 
services; information management services; unbundling of current core 
services such as billing and collections, technician training and staffing, 
and asset management and continued evaluation of opportunities with emerging 
technologies. InSight believes that long-term viability is contingent upon 
its ability to successfully participate in this industry consolidation. 
InSight views the Merger of MHC and IHC as reflective of this consolidation. 
As part of its consolidation strategy, InSight completed three acquisitions 
during fiscal 1997 and one in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 as follows:

In September 1996, InSight completed the acquisition of a Fixed Facility in 
Hayward, California.  The transaction included the purchase of certain 
assets, primarily diagnostic equipment.  The purchase price of approximately 
$2.8 million was financed by GE.

In May 1997, InSight acquired certain assets, primarily Mobile Facilities, in 
Maine and New Hampshire, and assumed certain equipment related liabilities.  
The purchase price of approximately $6.8 million and an additional $0.4 
million for working capital requirements were financed by GE.

In June 1997, InSight completed the acquisition of a Center in Chattanooga, 
Tennessee.  The transaction included the purchase of certain assets, 
primarily diagnostic equipment, and the assumption of certain equipment 
related liabilities.  The purchase price of approximately $9.0 million was 
financed by GE. 

In July 1997, InSight completed the acquisition of a Center in Columbus, 
Ohio. As part of this transaction, InSight also has a majority ownership in 
the development of a new Center in Dublin, Ohio.  The transactions included 
the purchase of certain assets, primarily diagnostic equipment, and the 
assumption of certain equipment related liabilities.  The purchase price of 
approximately $5.5 million and approximately $0.5 million for the Center 
under development were financed by GE.

In July 1997, InSight entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a Center 
in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, subject to the satisfaction of certain 
conditions.  GE has agreed to finance the purchase price of 
approximately $2.7 million; however, the Bank Financing may be used to finance
the purchase price.

Upon the consummation of the Bank Financing, which InSight expects to occur 
by early November 1997, InSight will have at its disposal an acquisition 
facility in the amount of $50 million, which may be increased under certain 
circumstances to $75 million.  InSight believes this facility will enhance 
its ability to participate in the industry consolidation.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

InSight operates in a capital intensive, high fixed cost industry that 
requires significant amounts of working capital to fund operations, 
particularly the initial start-up and development expenses of new operations 
and yet is constantly under external pressure to contain costs and reduce 
prices.  Revenues and cash flows have been adversely affected by an increased 
collection cycle, competitive pressures and major restructurings within the 
health care industry. This adverse effect on revenues and cash flow is 
expected to continue, especially in the mobile diagnostic imaging  business.  
Management believes that InSight's long-term viability and success is 
contingent upon its ability to successfully execute its five interrelated 
strategic initiatives.
    
InSight continues to pursue acquisition opportunities.  InSight believes that 
the expansion of its business through acquisitions is a key factor in 
achieving and maintaining profitability.  Generally, acquisition 
opportunities are aimed at increasing revenues and profits, and maximizing 
utilization of existing capacity.  Incremental operating profit resulting 
from future acquisitions will vary depending on geographic location, whether 
facilities are Mobile versus Fixed, the range of services provided and the 
Company's ability to integrate the acquired businesses into its existing 
infrastructure.  Since the Merger, InSight has completed four acquisitions 
and entered into a definitive agreement with respect to an additional 
acquisition, as discussed above.

As noted above (see Item 1. "Business-Recapitalization"), the Company 
consummated the Recapitalization on October 14, 1997 pursuant to which (a) 
the Company issued to Carlyle 25,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock 
having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and warrants to purchase 
250,000 shares of InSight Common Stock at the current exercise price of 
$10.00 per share, generating net proceeds to the Company (after related 
transaction costs of approximately $2.0 million) of approximately $23.0 
million; (b) the Company issued to GE 7,000 shares of Series C Preferred 
Stock, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, in consideration of 
the termination of GE's right to receive supplemental service fee payments 
equal to 14% of InSight's pre-tax income, (for which the Company will record 
a non-recurring expense of approximately $6.7 million in the second quarter 
of fiscal 1998), and agreed to issue to GE an additional 20,953 shares of 
Series C Preferred Stock at the Second Closing in exchange for all of GE's 
shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and (c) the Company executed a Credit 
Agreement with NationsBank which, subject to the satisfaction of certain 
customary conditions, is expected to be consummated by early November and 
includes (i) a $50 million term loan facility consisting of a $20 million 
tranche with increasing amortization over a five year period and a $30 
million tranche principally repayable in years 6 and 7, (ii) a $25 million 
revolving working capital facility with a five-year maturity, and (iii) a $50 
million acquisition facility, which may be increased by up to an additional 
$25 million upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including 
commitments from participating lenders.  The net proceeds from the Carlyle 
investment will be used to refinance a portion of the outstanding GE 
indebtedness (approximately $23 million).  At the initial funding of the Bank 
Financing, all of the term loan facility is expected to be drawn down to 
refinance all of the remaining GE indebtedness (approximately $47 million) 
and approximately $10 million of the revolving facility is expected to be 
drawn down for working capital purposes. If the Bank Financing is not 
consummated for any reason, the Company would be required to seek alternate 
financing.  In such event, there can be no assurance that such financing 
would be available on acceptable terms.   

InSight's operations are principally dependent on its ability (either 
directly or indirectly through its hospital customers) to attract referrals 
from physicians and other health care providers representing a variety of 
specialties.  The Company's eligibility to provide service in response to a 
referral is often dependent on the existence of a contractual arrangement 
with the referred patient's insurance carrier (primarily if the insurance is 
provided by a managed care organization).  Managed care contracting has 
become very competitive and reimbursement schedules are nearing Medicare 
reimbursement levels.  A decline in referrals and/or reimbursement rates 
would adversely affect the Company's revenues and profits.

In connection with the Merger, certain financial accommodations with MHC's 
and IHC's primary creditor, GE, became effective in June 1996.  The financial 
accommodations with GE have restricted InSight's ability to raise capital, 
incur additional debt, enter into additional leases for equipment, complete 
acquisitions, or enter into other corporate transactions without first 
obtaining a waiver or consent from GE.  The GE indebtedness is expected to be 
repaid in full from the proceeds of the Carlyle investment and the Bank 
Financing.  The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C 
Preferred Stock, as well as the Bank Financing, contain similar restrictions 
on InSight's ability to act without first obtaining a waiver or consent from 
Carlyle, GE and NationsBank.

                                       13

Working capital decreased to a deficit of approximately $5.7 million at June 
30, 1997 from a deficit of approximately $1.2 million at June 30, 1996.  This 
increase in deficit of approximately $4.5  million is primarily due to the 
current portion of additional debt incurred as a result of the Company's 
acquisition strategy discussed above and principal payments on long-term 
debt, offset by net income before depreciation and amortization.  GE loaned 
the Company approximately $25.0 million to complete the acquisitions and has 
agreed to loan the Company approximately $2.7 million to complete the 
acquisition in Murfreesboro, Tennessee discussed above.  Notwithstanding the 
above, the Company believes that its current cash balances and cash flows 
from operations, will be sufficient to finance its current operations through 
June 30, 1998.

Cash and cash equivalents increased to approximately $7.1 million at June 30, 
1997 from approximately $6.8 million at June 30, 1996.  This increase of 
approximately $0.3 million resulted primarily from (i) cash provided by 
operating activities of approximately $7.3 million and (ii) long-term 
borrowings of approximately $33.7 million, offset by (i) the acquisition of 
Centers and Mobile Facilities (approximately $18.6 million), (ii) purchases 
of property and equipment (approximately $7.1 million), and (iii) payments on 
debt and capital lease obligations (approximately $11.0 million).

The Company has committed to purchase, at an aggregate cost of approximately 
$4.0 million, three MRI systems  for delivery during the quarter ending 
December 31, 1998.  The Company has obtained commitments to finance the 
purchase or lease of such equipment; however, the Bank Financing may be used 
to finance the purchase of such equipment.  In addition, the Company has 
committed to purchase or lease from GE, at an aggregate cost of 
approximately $20 million, including siting costs, 20 open MRI systems for 
delivery and installation over the next two years.  The Company may purchase, 
lease or upgrade other MRI systems as opportunities arise to place new 
equipment into service when new contract services agreements are signed, 
existing agreements are renewed, acquisitions are completed, or new imaging 
centers are developed in accordance with the Company's strategic initiatives.

In February 1996, MHC and the other parties in a class action securities 
lawsuit reached a settlement.  On July 29, 1996, following final court 
approval, MHC and the other parties collectively paid to the plaintiffs in 
the class action the balance of the agreed upon settlement amount.  In 
anticipation of this settlement, MHC recorded a charge of $1.5 million in 
1995 and as part of the Merger borrowed approximately $1.9 million from GE 
to finance the settlement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

BECAUSE THE MERGER WAS ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE PURCHASE METHOD OF ACCOUNTING 
AND MHC WAS TREATED AS THE ACQUIROR, THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
CONTAINS THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA OF THE COMPANY (REFLECTING THE 
COMBINED OPERATIONS OF IHC AND MHC) FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND THE 
HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA OF MHC ONLY FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 
AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996  

REVENUES:  Revenues increased approximately $66.6 million for the year ended 
June 30, 1997, compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase 
in revenues was due primarily to additional IHC revenues as a result of the 
Merger (approximately $38.7 million), increases in revenues due to the 
acquisitions discussed above (approximately $2.0 million) and an increase in 
contract services, patient services and other revenues at MHC (approximately 
$25.9 million).  The increase of $25.9 million in MHC revenues was primarily 
due to a year of results for 1997 compared to the six month period in 1996.  
Compared to 1996 on an annualized basis, MHC revenues decreased by 
approximately $0.5 million, or approximately 1%.  

Contract services revenues increased approximately $27.8 million for the year 
ended June 30, 1997, compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This 
increase was due primarily to additional IHC revenues as a result of the 
Merger (approximately $7.8 million), an increase in revenues due to the 
acquisitions discussed above (approximately $0.2 million) and an increase in 
MHC revenues of approximately $19.8 million.  The increase of $19.8 million 
was primarily due to a year of results for 1997 compared to a six month 
period in 1996.  Compared to 1996 on an annualized basis, MHC revenues 
decreased approximately $0.2 million, or 0.5%.  This decrease was due to 
reductions in reimbursement (approximately 6%) from customers, primarily 
hospitals, offset by increased utilization (approximately 30%).


                                       14

<PAGE>

InSight's contract services revenues, primarily earned by its Mobile 
Facilities, represent approximately 51% of total revenues.  Each year 
approximately one-quarter to one-third of the contract services agreements 
are subject to renewal. It is expected that some high volume customer 
accounts will elect not to renew their agreements and instead will purchase 
or lease their own diagnostic imaging equipment and some customers may choose 
an alternative services provider.  In the past where agreements have not been 
renewed, the Company has been able to obtain replacement customer accounts; 
however, it is not always possible to obtain replacement accounts and some 
replacement accounts have been smaller than the lost account.  The 
non-renewal of a single customer agreement would not have a material impact 
on InSight's contract services revenues; however, non-renewal of several 
agreements could have a material impact on contract services revenues.  

In addition, the Company's contract services revenues with regard to its 
Mobile Facilities in certain markets depend in part on some customer accounts 
with high volume.  If the future reimbursement levels of such customers were 
to decline or cease or if such customers were to become financially insolvent 
and if such agreements were not replaced with new accounts or with the 
expansion of services on existing accounts, InSight's contract services 
revenues would be adversely affected.

Patient services revenues increased approximately $36.9 million for the year 
ended June 30, 1997, compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The 
increase in revenues was due primarily to additional IHC revenues as a result 
of the Merger (approximately $30.5 million), increased revenues due to the 
acquisitions discussed above (approximately $1.8 million), and an increase in 
MHC revenues of approximately $4.6 million.  The increase in MHC revenues of 
$4.6 million was primarily due to a year of results for 1997 compared to a 
six month period in 1996.  Compared to 1996 on an annualized basis, MHC 
revenues decreased approximately $1.3 million, or 11%.  This decrease was due 
to continued declines in reimbursement (approximately 5%) from third party 
payors and the closure of a Fixed Facility in June 1996, offset by increased 
utilization (approximately 20%).

No single source accounts for more than 10% of InSight's revenues.  The 
Company has six individual contracts with the county of Los Angeles 
("County") covering six separate sites.  In the aggregate, these sites earn 
revenues which represent approximately 10% of the Company's annual revenues.  
From time to time, the County has experienced financial difficulties.  If 
such difficulties caused the County to curtail or terminate the Company's 
services, the Company's business would be adversely affected.

Management believes that any future increases in revenues can only be 
achieved by higher utilization and not by increases in procedure prices since 
reimbursement is declining; however, excess capacity of diagnostic imaging 
equipment, increased competition, and the expansion of managed care may 
impact utilization and make it difficult for the Company to achieve revenue 
increases in the future, absent the execution of provider agreements with 
managed care companies and other payors, and the execution of the Company's 
strategic initiatives.

COSTS OF OPERATIONS:  Costs of operations increased approximately $52.9 
million for the year ended June 30, 1997, compared to the six months ended 
June 30, 1996.  This increase was due primarily to additional IHC costs as a 
result of the Merger (approximately $29.8 million), an increase in costs due 
to the acquisitions discussed above (approximately $1.5 million), and an 
increase in costs at MHC of approximately $21.6 million.  The increase of 
$21.6 million at MHC was primarily due to a year of results for 1997 compared 
to a six month period in 1996.  Compared to 1996 on an annualized basis, MHC 
costs decreased approximately $5.8 million, or 11%.  This decrease was due to 
a reduction in costs of services, provision for doubtful accounts, and 
equipment leases and depreciation and amortization.

Costs of services, including the provision for doubtful accounts, increased 
approximately $35.6 million for the year ended June 30, 1997, compared to the 
six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in costs was due primarily to 
additional IHC costs as a result of the Merger  (approximately $20.8 
million), an increase in costs due to the acquisitions discussed above 
(approximately $1.2 million) and an increase in costs at MHC (approximately 
$13.6 million).  The increase in costs at MHC was due primarily to a year of 
results for 1997 compared to a six month period in 1996.  Compared to 1996 on 
an annualized basis, MHC costs decreased approximately $2.9 million.  This 
decrease was due to (i) reduced costs in service supplies and equipment 
maintenance and (ii) one time charges in 1996 related to the closure of two 
Centers and the early return of four Mobile Facilities.


                                       15

<PAGE>

Equipment leases and depreciation and amortization increased approximately 
$17.4 million for the year ended June 30, 1997, compared to the six months 
ended June 30, 1996.  The increase was due primarily to additional IHC costs 
as a result of the Merger (approximately $9.2 million), increased costs due 
to the acquisitions discussed above (approximately $0.3 million) and an 
increase in costs at MHC (approximately $7.9 million).  The increase at MHC 
of $7.9 million was primarily due to a year of results for 1997 compared to a 
six month period in 1996. Compared to 1996 on an annualized basis, MHC costs 
decreased approximately $0.8 million.  This decrease was due to a write down 
of approximately $1.5 million of intangibles in 1996 which did not occur in 
1997. 

Under the terms of the amended equipment maintenance service agreement with 
GE, GE was entitled to receive a supplemental service fee 
equal to 14% of pretax income, subject to certain adjustments.  During the 
year ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded a provision of approximately 
$0.3 million in connection with this agreement.  The Company's future 
obligations under this agreement were terminated as part of the 
Recapitalization.  As mentioned above, the Company will record a 
non-recurring expense of  $6.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 
in connection with the termination of this agreement.

GROSS PROFIT:  Gross profit increased approximately $13.7 million during the 
year ended June 30, 1997, compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.  
The increase was due primarily to additional gross profit from IHC as a 
result of the Merger (approximately $8.9 million), an increase due to the 
acquisitions discussed above (approximately $0.5 million), and an increase at 
MHC (approximately $4.3 million).

CORPORATE OPERATING EXPENSES:  Corporate operating expenses increased 
approximately $5.3 million for the year ended June 30, 1997, compared to the 
six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase was partially related to 
maintaining duplicate staffing during the transition phase of the Merger and 
to additional consulting and legal costs associated with the Company's 
acquisition activities.  The Company has achieved annualized cost savings 
(approximately $1.0 million) compared to the historical combined costs of MHC 
and IHC, primarily as a result of elimination of duplicate facilities 
including corporate headquarters, and synergies in staff and functional areas.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET:   Interest expense, net increased approximately $2.9 
million for the year ended June 30, 1997, compared to the six months ended 
June 30, 1996.  The increase was due primarily to (i) additional debt assumed 
as a result of the Merger (approximately $3.3 million) and (ii) additional 
debt related to the acquisitions discussed above (approximately $0.3 
million), offset by reduced interest as a result of (i) amortization of the 
deferred gain on the debt restructure with GE (approximately $1.0 
million) and (ii) amortization of long-term debt.

EXTRAORDINARY GAIN ON DEBT EXTINGUISHMENT:  In connection with the Merger, 
MHC recorded an extraordinary gain on debt extinguishment of approximately 
$3.2 million in 1996.  There was no similar gain in 1997.
 
INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE:  Net income per common share was $0.24 for 
the year ended June 30, 1997, compared to a net loss per common share before 
extraordinary item of $(2.99) for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The 
improvement in income per common share is the result of (i) increased gross 
profit, and (ii) an increase in earnings from unconsolidated partnerships, 
offset by (i) increased corporate operating expenses, and (ii) increased 
interest expense.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995 (UNAUDITED) 

REVENUES:  Revenues increased $2.0 million, or approximately 8 percent, 
during the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared with the same period in 
1995. The increase in revenues was due primarily to the acquisition of 
certain customer contracts in April 1995, the acquisition of certain Centers 
in October 1995 and increases in volumes on certain contracts serviced by 
Mobile and Fixed Facilities.  These increases were offset by decreases in 
reimbursement rates from third party payors. 

COSTS OF OPERATIONS:  Costs of operations increased $4.4 million, or 
approximately 19 percent, during the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared 
with the same period in 1995.  This increase was primarily due to (i) the 
write down of approximately $1.5 million of goodwill and other intangibles 
related to two of MHC's Centers; (ii) an increase in cost of services of $2.3 
million and (iii) an increase in depreciation of $0.7 million offset by a 
decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts of $0.4 million.

Costs of services increased $2.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 
1996, compared with the same period in 1995.  The increase was due primarily 
to  (i) certain one-time charges relating to operating strategies associated 
with the Merger which include provisions for the closure of two Centers, the 
write down of a Mobile Facility and the estimated costs and termination fees 
for the early return of four Mobile Facilities; (ii) increased costs 
associated with the acquisitions discussed above; and (iii) higher costs 
associated with the increase in patient services revenues which include 
personnel costs, facility costs, service supplies and professional fees. 

The provision for doubtful accounts decreased $0.4 million during the six 
months ended June 30, 1996, compared with the same period in 1995.  This 
decrease is primarily attributable to a $0.3 million charge recorded in June 
1995.  A similar charge was not recorded in 1996. 

Depreciation increased $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 
1996, compared with the same period in 1995.  This increase was due primarily 
to capital leases entered into, acquisitions completed, and leasehold 
improvements incurred at several of MHC's Fixed Facilities subsequent to June 
30, 1995. 

GROSS PROFIT:  Gross profit decreased $2.4 million during the six months 
ended June 30, 1996, compared with the same period in 1995.  This decrease 
was primarily attributable to the increase in costs of services discussed 
above. 

CORPORATE OPERATING EXPENSES:  Corporate operating expenses increased $0.2 
million during the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared with the same 
period in 1995.  This increase was due primarily to a provision in June 1996 
of $0.6 million for termination benefits and facility costs in connection 
with the reduction in the duplicative administrative infrastructure as a 
result of the Merger. 

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET:  Interest expense, net increased $0.5 million during 
the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared with the same period in 1995.  
This increase was due primarily to debt financed in 1995 in connection with 
acquisitions and the financing of certain operating expenses. 

EXTRAORDINARY GAIN ON DEBT EXTINGUISHMENT:  In connection with the Merger, 
MHC recorded an extinguishment of $9.0 million of long-term obligations owed 
to GE in June 1996.  The extraordinary gain represents the excess of 
the carrying value of the debt obligations settled over the sum of the fair 
value of the Maxum Series B Preferred Stock issued in exchange for such debt 
extinguishment and the sum of future interest payable on all remaining 
obligations owed to GE.

In accordance with the provisions of troubled debt accounting, a portion of 
the extraordinary gain, equal to the sum of the current and long-term 
portions of future interest payable on all remaining GE debt was 
deferred and will be reduced by future interest payments over the terms of 
the respective debt instruments. 

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994 

REVENUES:  Revenues increased $4.7 million, or approximately 10%, in 1995 
compared to 1994.  The increase in revenues was related primarily to 
acquisitions.  This increase was partially offset by the continued decline in 
reimbursement rates and a decrease in other revenues in 1995 compared to 
1994. 

An increase in fee-for-service revenues of $5.0 million in 1995 compared to 
1994 was attributable to:  (i) the award of an exclusive capitated managed 
care contract in December 1994, under which MHC's fees were paid directly by 
the managed care organization and were earned on a per-member-per-month 
basis; and (ii) the acquisition of certain customer contracts in the first 
half of 1995. Other fee-for-service revenues and equipment rental revenues 
(derived primarily from Mobile Facilities) decreased $1.8 million, compared 
to 1994, due to expiration of hospital service contracts and third party 
equipment leases. Management fees decreased $0.6 million in 1995, compared to 
1994, due primarily to the sale or termination of certain partnerships in 
late 1994. 

Approximately 58% of the $2.4 million increase in patient services revenues 
was due to increased patient services revenues associated with acquisitions 
during 1995. Approximately 25% of the increase is attributable to a contract 
awarded in the third quarter of 1994 to provide radiology and management 
services at an outpatient Fixed Facility for a hospital customer. The 
remainder of the increase was due primarily to increases in procedure volumes 
at MHC's other Centers, offset by continued declines in reimbursement rates.

<PAGE>

Other revenues decreased during 1995 compared to 1994, due primarily to the 
sale of MHC's technical services division in June 1994. 

COSTS OF OPERATIONS:   Costs of operations increased $3.3 million, or 
approximately 7%, in 1995 compared to 1994. Costs of services in 1995 was 
reduced by $0.8 million related to sales/use tax refunds. These refunds 
represent taxes paid in prior years attributable to certain mobile diagnostic 
imaging equipment, and were received due to a determination by the taxing 
authority having reached a determination that the mobile equipment was 
subject to motor vehicle tax rather than sales/use tax. 

Occupancy expense (which includes operating costs of facilities leased or 
subcontracted by MHC) increased $0.8 million, or approximately 88%, in 1995 
compared to 1994. This increase was due primarily to subcontracting costs 
incurred related to the capitated managed care contract that was awarded in 
December 1994. 

Professional fees increased $0.7 million, or approximately 41%, in 1995 
compared to 1994, due primarily to the increase in patient services revenues 
and to costs incurred related to the capitated managed care contract 
discussed above. 

In addition to the net impact of the sales/use tax refund, occupancy expense 
and professional fees discussed above, all other components of costs of 
services experienced a net increase of $2.2 million in 1995 compared to 1994, 
due primarily to the variable costs associated with the increase in revenues 
resulting primarily from acquisitions in 1995 discussed above. 

The provision for doubtful accounts increased $0.5 million, or approximately 
48%, in 1995 compared to 1994, due primarily to the increase in patient 
services revenues and a shift in the payor mix in MHC's Centers related to 
the penetration of managed care. This change in payor mix had an unfavorable 
impact on reimbursement rates realized by the Centers and resulted in an 
increase in bad debt expense in 1995 associated with unreimbursed amounts 
which were not subsequently collectible from patients.

Depreciation decreased $0.2 million, or approximately 6%, in 1995 compared to 
1994. This decrease was due primarily to a purchase and sale- leaseback 
transaction (in connection with MHC's settlement with a significant creditor 
in June 1994) which resulted in reductions in net book values of certain 
Mobile Facilities. 

GROSS PROFIT:   Gross profit increased $1.4 million in 1995 compared to 1994. 
The increase was primarily attributable to higher profit margins from the 
absorption of excess capacity associated with acquisitions completed in 1995 
and the capitated managed care contract awarded in December 1994. 

CORPORATE OPERATING EXPENSES:   Corporate operating expenses decreased 
approximately $0.7 million, or approximately 17%, in 1995 compared to 1994. 
This decrease was due primarily to reductions in legal costs and insurance 
premiums. 

EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF UNCONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS:   Equity in earnings of 
unconsolidated partnerships decreased $0.5 million, or approximately 58%, in 
1995 compared to 1994, due to the sale of certain partnerships in late 1994 
discussed below. 

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET:   Interest expense, net increased $0.4 million, or 
approximately 35%, in 1995 compared to 1994. This increase was due primarily 
to (i) the addition of several capital leases of diagnostic imaging 
equipment; (ii) debt obligations incurred as a result of the acquisitions 
during 1995; and (iii) interest on operating expenses financed during late 
1994 and in 1995. 

PROVISION FOR SECURITIES LITIGATION SETTLEMENT:    In anticipation of the MHC 
settlement of two class-action lawsuits originally filed in 1993, MHC 
recorded a charge of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1995. 

GAIN ON SALE OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS:   In December 1994, MHC sold its 
interests in three lithotripsy partnerships for approximately $5.0 million in 
cash which resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $5.0 million. 

EXTRAORDINARY GAIN ON DEBT EXTINGUISHMENTS:  During 1994, MHC settled its 
outstanding debt and lease obligations owed to a significant creditor and two 
smaller creditors which resulted in a net extraordinary gain of approximately 
$3.3 million.

INFLATION 

Inflation in recent years has not had a significant impact on MHC's or IHC's 
business, and is not expected to adversely affect the Company in the near 
future. 

NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS 

In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation".  As 
permitted under the standard, the Company continued to account for employee 
stock options in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and made necessary pro 
forma disclosures mandated by SFAS No. 123.  The adoption of this standard 
had no impact on the Company's results of operations.

In fiscal 1998, the Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 129, 
"Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure", which continues the 
existing requirements to disclose the pertinent rights and privileges of all 
securities other than ordinary common stock but expands the number of 
companies subject to portions of its requirements.  The adoption of this 
standard will have no effect on the Company's results of operations.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued SFAS No. 128, 
"Earnings per Share ("EPS")".  This standard is effective for both interim 
and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 1997.  SFAS No. 128 
replaces primary EPS with basic EPS and fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS.  
Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings by weighted average 
shares outstanding.  Diluted EPS is computed in the same way as fully diluted 
EPS, except that the calculation now uses the average share price for the 
reporting period to compute dilution from options under the treasury stock 
method.  Management believes that adoption of this standard will not  have a 
significant impact on earnings per share.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS Nos. 130 and 131, "Reporting Comprehensive 
Income" and "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related 
Information."  FASB Nos. 130 and 131 are effective for fiscal years beginning 
after December 15, 1997, with earlier adoption permitted.  The Company 
believes that adoption of these standards will not have a material impact on 
the Company.

                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                                 
To InSight Health Services Corp.: 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of INSIGHT 
HEALTH SERVICES CORP. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of June 
30, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, 
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 1997 and for 
the six months ended June 30, 1996. These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of InSight Health Services 
Corp. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and results of their 
operations and their cash flows for the year ended June 30, 1997 and for the 
six months ended June 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

To Maxum Health Corp.: 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows of Maxum Health Corp. and
Subsidiaries (MHC) for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
1995.  Our audits also included the related financial statement schedule of
valuation and qualifying accounts.  These financial statements and schedule are
the responsibility of MHC's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the results of MHC's operations and its cash flows for each
of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, such financial
statements schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein. 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that MHC will
continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the financial
statements, MHC is experiencing difficulty in generating sufficient cash flow to
meet its obligations and sustain its operations.  These factors raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are described in Notes 1 and 3. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

Acquisition merged with and into AHS and MXHC Acquisition merged with and 
into Maxum (collectively, the Merger), (ii) each outstanding share of common 
stock, par value $.03 per share, of AHS (AHS Common Stock) was converted into 
the right to receive one-tenth of a share of common stock, par value $.001 
per share, of InSight (InSight Common Stock), (iii) each outstanding share of 
Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.03 per share, of AHS 
(AHS Series B Preferred Stock) which was convertible into 100 shares of AHS 
Common Stock was converted into the right to receive 10 shares of InSight 
Common Stock, (iv) each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock, par 
value $.03 per share, of AHS (AHS Series C Preferred Stock), which was issued 
immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, was converted into the 
right to receive 1.25088 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.001 
per share, of InSight (InSight Series A Preferred Stock), (v) each 
outstanding share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Maxum (Maxum 
Common Stock) was converted into the right to receive .598 of a share of 
InSight Common Stock, (vi) each outstanding share of Series B Preferred 
Stock, par value $.01 per share, of Maxum (Maxum Series B Preferred Stock), 
which was issued immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, was 
converted into the right to receive 83.392 shares of InSight Series A 
Preferred Stock, and (vii) each outstanding option, warrant or other right to 
purchase AHS Common Stock and Maxum Common Stock was converted into the right 
to acquire, on the same terms and conditions, shares of InSight Common Stock, 
with the number of shares and exercise price applicable to such option, 
warrant or other right adjusted based on the applicable exchange ratio for 
the underlying AHS Common Stock or Maxum Common Stock. 

Concurrent with the consummation of the Merger, AHS and MHC completed a debt 
restructuring with General Electric Company (GE), the primary creditor of MHC 
and AHS.  This restructuring resulted in the reduction of certain debt and 
operating lease obligations and cancellation of certain stock warrants of MHC 
and AHS in exchange for, among other things, the issuance to GE, immediately 
prior to the consummation of the Merger, of Maxum Series B Preferred Stock 
and AHS Series C Preferred Stock.  In connection with this restructuring, MHC 
recorded the extinguishment of $9.0 million of long-term debt obligations and 
an extraordinary gain representing the difference in the carrying value ($9.0 
million) of the debt obligations settled over the fair value ($3.4 million) 
of the Maxum Series B Preferred Stock issued to GE.  In accordance with the 
provisions of troubled debt accounting, a portion of the extraordinary gain, 
equal to the sum of the current and long-term portions of future interest 
payable on all remaining GE debt and capital lease obligations of $1.0 
million and $1.5 million, respectively, was deferred and will be reduced by 
future interest payments over the terms of the respective debt instruments. 

At the effective time of the Merger, MHC Series B Preferred Stock and AHS 
Series C Preferred Stock issued to GE was converted into the right to receive 
such number of shares of InSight Series A Preferred Stock that is convertible 
into such number of shares of InSight Common Stock representing approximately 
48% of InSight Common Stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger 
(after giving effect to such conversion). Under an amended equipment 
maintenance service agreement, GE will also be entitled to receive certain 
supplemental service fee payments based on future pretax income of InSight. 

On September 13, 1996, AHS changed its name to InSight Health Corp. (IHC).

The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. MHC is treated as the
acquiror for accounting purposes, based upon the relative revenues, book values
and other factors. The Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively, represent the operating results of MHC only.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

    a.   NATURE OF BUSINESS 

    The Company provides diagnostic imaging, treatment and related services to
    hospitals, physicians and their patients through its imaging network in 26
    states throughout the United States, with a substantial presence in
    California, primarily Los Angeles County, and northern Texas, primarily the
    Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. The Company's services are provided through a
    network of 35 mobile magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilities (Mobile
    Facilities), 28 fixed-site MRI facilities (Fixed Facilities), 10
    multi-modality imaging centers (Centers), two Leksell Stereotactic Gamma
    Unit treatment centers (Gamma Knife), and one radiation oncology center. An
    additional radiation oncology center is operated by the Company as a part
    of one of its Centers. 

    b.   CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of InSight and
    its wholly owned subsidiaries, MHC and IHC (Note 1).  The Company's
    investment interests in partnerships (the Partnerships) are accounted for
    under the equity method of accounting for ownership of 50 percent or less
    when the Company does not exercise significant control over the operations
    of the Partnership and does not have primary responsibility for the
    Partnership's long-term debt. The Company's consolidated financial
    statements include two Partnerships which have been accounted for under the
    equity method (Note 12). 

    At June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, the Company has consolidated two
    50 percent owned Partnerships and one less than 50 percent owned limited
    liability company.  Since the Company controls the operations of these 50
    percent or less owned entities and is primarily responsible for the
    associated long-term debt, management believes that consolidation of these
    entities is the most meaningful financial statement presentation (Note 12). 

    Significant intercompany balances have been eliminated. 

    c.   USE OF ESTIMATES 

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
    estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
    liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
    amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
    could differ from those estimates. 

    d.   REVENUE RECOGNITION 

    Revenues from contract services (primarily Mobile Facilities) and from
    patient services (primarily Centers) are recognized when services are
    provided.  Patient services revenues are presented net of related
    contractual adjustments.  Equipment rental revenues, management fees and
    other revenues are recognized over the applicable contract period. Revenues
    collected in advance are recorded as unearned revenue. 

    e.   CASH EQUIVALENTS 

    Cash equivalents are generally composed of highly liquid investments with
    original maturities of three months or less, such as certificates of
    deposit and commercial paper. 

    f.   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT 

    Property and equipment are depreciated and amortized on the straight-line
    method using the following estimated  useful lives:

              Vehicles                                      3 to 8 years
              Buildings                                     7 to 19 years
              Leasehold improvements                        Term of lease
              Computer and office equipment                 3 to 5 years
              Diagnostic and related equipment              5 to 8 years
              Equipment and vehicles under capital leases   Term of lease


                                          29

<PAGE>

    The Company capitalizes expenditures for improvements and major renewals.
    Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as
    incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
    related reserves are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or
    loss is included in the results of operations. 

    g.   INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

    The Company assesses the recoverability of its intangible assets (including
    goodwill) by determining whether the intangible asset balance can be
    recovered over the remaining amortization period through projected
    nondiscounted future cash flows.  If projected future cash flows indicate
    that the unamortized intangible asset balances will not be recovered, an
    adjustment is made to reduce the net intangible asset to an amount
    consistent with projected future cash flows discounted at the Company's
    incremental borrowing rate. Cash flow projections, although subject to a
    degree of uncertainty, are based on trends of historical performance and
    management's estimate of future performance, giving consideration to
    existing and anticipated competitive and economic conditions. 

    The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of fair value of
    the net assets acquired in purchase transactions.  Intangible assets are
    amortized on the straight-line basis over the following periods (See Note
    6): 

              Goodwill                           6 to 20 years
              Non-compete agreements             5 to 7 years
              Certificates of need               6 years

    h.   INCOME TAXES 

    The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in
    accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
    "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the asset and liability
    method of accounting for income taxes.

    i.   INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE 

    The number of shares used in computing income (loss) per common share is
    equal to the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
    outstanding during the respective period, adjusted retroactively for the
    conversion of Maxum Common Stock into InSight Common Stock as a result of
    the Merger. Common stock equivalents relating to options, warrants and
    convertible preferred stock are excluded for all periods prior to June 30,
    1997 because they are antidilutive.

    j.   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

    Fair value of financial instruments are estimated using available market
    information and other valuation methodologies. The fair value of the
    Company's financial instruments is estimated to approximate the related
    book value, unless otherwise indicated. 

    k.   NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
    Standards (SFAS) No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation".  As
    permitted under the standard, the Company continued to account for employee
    stock options in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and made necessary pro
    forma disclosures mandated by SFAS No. 123.  The adoption of this standard
    had no impact on the Company's results of operations.

    In fiscal 1998, the Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 129,
    "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure", which continues the
    existing requirements to disclose the pertinent rights and privileges of
    all securities other than ordinary common stock but expands the number of
    companies subject to portions of its requirements.  The adoption of this
    standard will have no effect on the Company's results of operations.

    The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued SFAS No. 128,
    "Earnings per Share (EPS)".  This standard is effective for both interim
    and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 1997.  SFAS No. 128
    replaces primary EPS with basic EPS and fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS. 
    Basic EPS is 


                                          30

<PAGE>

    computed by dividing reported earnings by weighted average shares
    outstanding.  Diluted EPS is computed in the same way as fully diluted EPS,
    except that the calculation now uses the average share price for the
    reporting period to compute dilution from options under the treasury stock
    method.  Management believes that adoption of this standard will not have a
    significant impact on earnings per share.

    In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS Nos. 130 and 131, "Reporting
    Comprehensive Income" and "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
    Related Information."  FASB Nos. 130 and 131 are effective for fiscal years
    beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier adoption permitted.  The
    Company believes that adoption of these standards will not have a material
    impact on the Company.
    
    l.   RECLASSIFICATIONS 

    Reclassifications have been made to certain 1996, 1995 and 1994 amounts to
    conform to the 1997 presentation. 

3.  PRIOR RESTRUCTURE OF MHC'S OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS 

As of December 31, 1995, MHC did not have the resources to support its 
existing debt service and lease requirements and an obligation to settle 
pending securities litigation. The accompanying 1995 and 1994 financial 
statements were prepared on a going concern basis, and accordingly did not 
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of 
recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities had 
MHC been unable to continue as a going concern. In June 1996, the financial 
accommodation transactions with GE were closed and the Merger was consummated 
(Note 1). 

4.  ACQUISITIONS 

In June 1996, InSight, MHC and IHC completed the Merger (Note 1).  The Merger
was accounted for under the purchase method with MHC being treated as the
acquiror for accounting purposes. 

In September 1996, InSight purchased certain assets of a Fixed Facility in
California for approximately $2.8 million in cash. 

In May 1997, InSight purchased certain assets, primarily Mobile Facilities in
Maine and New Hampshire.  InSight paid approximately $6.8 million in cash and
assumed certain equipment related liabilities of approximately $1.9 million.

In June 1997, InSight purchased certain assets of a Center in Tennessee. 
InSight paid approximately $9.0 million in cash and assumed certain equipment
related liabilities of approximately $1.9 million.

In May 1997, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase certain
assets of a Center in Ohio.  As part of the definitive agreement, the Company
deposited approximately $5.5 million into an escrow account.  At June 30, 1997
this deposit is included in other assets.


                                          31

These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method. Accordingly, 
the results of related operations have been included in the consolidated 
financial statements since the applicable acquisition dates. The pro forma 
effects of these acquisitions, as if they had occurred as of January 1, 1996, 
are summarized as follows (amounts in thousands): 

                                                                   Six Months

amortization of intangibles, respectively, and $1.7 million and $0.8 million of
interest expense, respectively, related to these acquisitions.  The pro forma
results in 1996 do not include the interest and lease savings resulting from the
Merger. 

5.  TRADE RECEIVABLES 

Trade receivables are comprised of the following (amounts in thousands): 

                                                               June 30,

                                                           -------    -------
Net trade receivables arise from revenue generated by: 
Patient services                                           $ 9,199    $ 7,362

                                                           -------    -------

Receivables related to patient services revenues are due primarily from 
managed care organizations, patients' private insurance companies and 
government payors. Receivables arising from contract service revenues are due 
primarily from hospitals. 

The allowance for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments include 
management's estimate of the amounts expected to be written off on specific 
accounts and for write offs on other as yet unidentified accounts included in 
accounts receivable. In estimating the write offs and adjustments on specific 
accounts, management relies on a combination of in-house analysis and a 
review of contractual payment rates from private health insurance programs or 
under the federal Medicare program. In estimating the allowance for 
unidentified write offs and adjustments, management relies on historical 
experience. The amounts the Company will ultimately realize could differ 
materially in the near term from the amounts assumed in arriving at the 
allowance for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments in the financial 
statements at June 30, 1997.


                                       32

<PAGE>
The Company reserves a contractually agreed upon percentage at several of its 
Centers, averaging 20 percent of the accounts receivable balance from 
patients, for payments to radiologists for interpreting the results of the 
diagnostic imaging procedures. Payments to radiologists are only due when 
amounts are received. At that time, the balance is transferred from the 
allowance account to a professional fees payable account. 

6.  INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

Intangible assets consist of the following (amounts in thousands):

                                                  -------    -------

In connection with the Company's acquisitions in 1997 and the Merger in 1996 
(Note 1), the Company recorded $17.6 million and $13.6 million of intangible 
assets, respectively.  Projected future cash flows for two of MHC's Centers 
at June 30, 1996 indicated that the unamortized goodwill of $1.4 million and 
the unamortized deferred organizational costs of $0.1 million related to 
these two Centers were not recoverable.  Therefore, in accordance with the 
Company's policy, the intangible assets related to these Centers were written 
down during the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Amortization of intangible 
assets was $1.4 million, $1.9 million (including the $1.5 million discussed 
above), $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the year ended June 30, 1997, for 
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1995, 
and 1994, respectively.

factors through 1999.  The Company's future operating and capital lease 
obligations to GE were approximately $24.8 million and $2.6 million, 
respectively.

                                       34

Rental expense for diagnostic equipment and other equipment for the year 
ended June 30, 1997, for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the years 
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, was $18.3 million, $7.0 million, $14.5 
million and $14.6 million, respectively.  These amounts include contingent 
rental expense of $0.3 million, $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.8 million 
for the year ended June 30, 1997, for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 
for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 

The Company occupies office facilities under lease agreements expiring 
through June 2007.  Rental expense for these facilities for the year ended 
June 30, 1997, for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the years ended 
December 31, 1995 and 1994, was $1.9 million, $0.3 million, $0.6 million and 
$0.6 million, respectively. 

Under the terms of the amended equipment service agreement with GE (Note 1), 
GE is entitled to receive a supplemental service fee equal to 14% of pretax 
income, subject to certain adjustments.  During the year ended June 30, 1997 
the Company recorded a provision of approximately $0.3 million in connection 
with this agreement.

InSight is engaged, from time to time, in the defense of lawsuits arising out 
of the ordinary course and conduct of its business and has insurance policies 
covering such potential insurable losses where such coverage is 
cost-effective. InSight believes that the outcome of any such lawsuits will 
not have a material adverse impact on InSight's business.

9.  CAPITAL STOCK 

WARRANTS - During 1997, InSight issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of 
its common stock at an exercise price of $5.64 per share to the previous 
preferred stockholders of IHC.  InSight also issued a warrant to purchase 
35,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share to 
an investment banking firm.  InSight also issued a warrant to purchase 15,000 
shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share to a 
consultant.  In connection with the Merger, InSight assumed a warrant to 
purchase 20,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per 
share issued to the estate of Cal Kovens, a former director of IHC. 

STOCK OPTIONS - The Company has two stock option plans which provide for the 
granting of incentive and nonstatutory stock options to key employees, 
independent contractors and non-employee directors.  Incentive stock options 
must have an exercise price of at least the fair market value of its common 
stock on the grant date.  Options become vested cumulatively over various 
periods up to four years from the grant date, are exercisable in whole or in 
installments, and expire five or ten years from the grant date.  In addition, 
MHC has a stock option plan and IHC has two stock option plans which provided 
for the granting of incentive or nonstatutory stock options to key employees, 
non-employee directors and independent contractors. Pursuant to the Merger, 
the Company assumed all of MHC's and IHC's outstanding options at June 26, 
1996.  No shares are available for future grants under the MHC and IHC plans.

The Company accounts for these plans under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no 
compensation cost has been recognized.  SFAS No. 123 was issued in 1995 and, 
if fully adopted, changes the methods for recognition of cost on plans 
similar to those of the Company.  Adoption of SFAS No. 123 is optional, 
however pro forma disclosures as if the Company had adopted the cost 
recognition method are required.  Had compensation cost for stock options 
awarded under this plan been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the 
Company's net income and earnings per share would have reflected the 
following pro forma amounts:

grants in fiscal periods 1997 and 1996; weighted average risk-free interest 
rate of 7.02 percent and 6.75 percent; expected dividend yields of 0.00 
percent; and a weighted average contractual life of 8.08 and 9.29 years, 
respectively.

10. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes includes income taxes currently payable and those
deferred because of temporary differences between the financial statements and
tax bases of assets and liabilities.  The provision for income taxes for the
year ended June 30, 1997 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

The components of the Company's deferred tax asset as of June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, which arise due to timing differences between financial and tax
reporting and net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards are as follows:

                                         ---------    ----------

As of June 30, 1997, the Company had NOL carryforwards of approximately $38.5
million, expiring in 2004 through 2010.  As a result of the Merger, there will
be a substantial limitation on the use of these NOL carryforwards.

A valuation allowance is provided against the deferred tax asset when it is more
likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  The Company
has established a valuation allowance for the deferred tax allowance for the
deferred tax asset as, in management's best estimate, it is not likely to be
realized in the near term.

11.  RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS

The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan (Company Plan), which is available
to all eligible employees, pursuant to which the Company matches a percentage of
employee contributions to the Company Plan.  Company contributions of $335,000
were made for the year ended June 30, 1997.

The Company, through MHC, had a 401(k) profit sharing plan (MHC Plan) for all
MHC employees, pursuant to which MHC matched a percentage of employee
contributions to the Plan and made additional contributions on behalf of the
employees at the discretion of its Board of Directors.  Contributions of
$50,000, $100,000 and $62,000 were made during the six months ended June 30,
1996 and the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  MHC
contributions of $12,000 in 1994 were funded with forfeitures.

The Company, through IHC, had a 401(k) profit sharing plan (IHC Plan) for all
IHC employees, pursuant to which IHC matched a percentage of employee
contributions to the IHC Plan.   In 1997, the Company combined the MHC Plan and
the IHC Plan into the Company Plan.

12.  INVESTMENTS IN AND TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTNERSHIPS

The Company, through MHC, has direct ownership in two Partnerships at June 30,
1997, both of which operate  Centers.  In June 1996, the MHC closed one of the
Centers and is currently in the process of dissolving the Partnership.  MHC owns
43.75% and 50% of these Partnerships, serves as the managing general partner and
provides certain management services under agreements expiring in 2007. These
Partnerships are accounted for under the equity method since the Company does
not exercise significant control over the operations of these Partnerships or
does not have primary responsibility for the  Partnership's long-term debt.  Set
forth below is certain financial data of these Partnerships (amounts in
thousands):

REVENUES OF THE PARTNERSHIPS are recognized when services are provided to
patients at established billing rates or at the amount realizable under
agreements with third party payors, with the provision for contractual
adjustments deducted to report net patient services revenues.  The Partnerships'
patient receivables are generally reimbursed by managed care organizations,
and/or patient's private insurance companies, with the remainder of the patient
receivables reimbursed by health care plans and government payors.

The Company, through IHC, has direct ownership in two Partnerships and one
limited liability company, all of which operate Centers. IHC owns 50% of each of
the Partnerships and 35% of the limited liability company. Since the Company
controls the operations and is primarily responsible for the associated
long-term debt, the Centers have been included in the Company's consolidated
balance sheet at June 30, 1997 and 1996. Set forth below is the summarized
combined financial data of the Company's 50% or less owned and controlled
entities which are consolidated (amounts in thousands):

In December 1994, MHC sold the common stock of three wholly owned subsidiaries,
whose primary operations were equity interests of approximately 20% in each of
three Partnerships that provided lithotripsy services, for approximately $5.0
million in cash.  MHC's investment in and share of earnings of these
Partnerships had been reported in MHC's financial statements using the equity
method of accounting.  This transaction resulted in a pretax gain of
approximately $5.0 million in 1994.  In addition, two other Partnerships which
provided services through mobile MRI and CT facilities were terminated in 1994.

MHC leased equipment to certain Partnerships under direct financing leases and
operating leases, and arranged for equipment maintenance services.  In
connection with providing these and other services, MHC received management fees
related to certain Partnerships.  Revenues related to these Partnership
activities included in MHC's financial statements for the year ended December
31, 1994 were $1.3 million. Substantially all of these revenues relate to
Partnerships that were sold or terminated in 1994.

At June 30, 1996, the Company had a receivable of $0.3 million related to
certain lease and operating expenses of the two existing Partnerships that are
accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

14.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 14, 1997, InSight consummated a recapitalization 
(Recapitalization) pursuant to which (a) certain investors affiliated with TC 
Group, LLC and its affiliates (collectively, Carlyle), a private merchant 
bank headquartered in Washington, D.C., made a cash investment of $25 million 
in the Company and received therefor (i) 25,000 shares of newly issued 
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B, par value $0.001 per share (Series B 
Preferred Stock), initially convertible, at the option of the holders 
thereof, in the aggregate into 2,985,075 shares of common stock, and (ii) 
warrants (Carlyle Warrants) to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock 
at the current exercise price of $10.00 per share; (b) General Electric 
Company (GE) (i) surrendered its rights under the amended equipment service 
agreement to receive supplemental service fee payments equal to 14% of pretax 
income (see Note 8, above) in exchange for (i) the issuance of 7,000 shares 
of newly issued Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C, par value $0.001 per 
share (Series C Preferred Stock) initially convertible, at the option of the 
holders thereof, in the aggregate into 835,821 shares of common stock, and 
(ii) warrants (the GE Warrants) to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common 
stock at the current exercise price of $10.00 per share, (for which the 
Company will record a non-recurring expense of approximately $6.7 million in 
the second quarter of fiscal 1998), and (ii) agreed to exchange all of its 
InSight Series A Preferred Stock, on the business day (Second Closing) after 
all waiting periods with respect to GE's filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino 
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, have expired or been 
terminated, for an additional 20,953 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 
initially convertible, at the option of the holders thereof, in the aggregate 
into 2,501,760 shares of common stock; and (c) the Company executed a Credit 
Agreement with NationsBank, N.A. pursuant to which NationsBank, as agent, 
committed to provide, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, a 
total of $125 million in senior secured credit, including (i) a $50 million 
term loan facility consisting of a $20 million tranche with increasing 
amortization over a five year period and a $30 million tranche principally 
repayable in years 6 and 7, (ii) a $25 million revolving working capital 
facility with a five-year maturity, and (iii) a $50 million acquisition 
facility, which may be increased by up to an additional $25 million upon the 
satisfaction of certain conditions, including commitments from participating 
lenders (Bank Financing).

The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock 
(collectively, Preferred Stock) are substantially the same.  The Preferred 
Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share.  It will participate 
in any dividends paid with respect to the common stock.  There is no 
mandatory or optional redemption provision for the Preferred Stock.  The 
Series B Preferred Stock is initially convertible, at the option of the 
holders thereof, into 2,985,075 shares of common stock, and the Series C 
Preferred Stock will, as of the Second Closing, be initially convertible, at 
the option of the holders thereof, into 3,337,581 shares of common stock, in 
each case at an initial conversion price of $8.375 per share.

For so long as Carlyle and its affiliates own at least 33% of the Series B 
Preferred Stock or GE and its affiliates own at least 33% of the Series C 
Preferred Stock, respectively, the approval of at least 67% of the holders of 
such series of Preferred Stock is required before the Company may take 
certain actions including, but not limited to, amending its certificate of 
incorporation or bylaws, changing the number of directors or the manner in 
which directors are selected, incurring indebtedness in excess of $15 million 
in any fiscal year, issuing certain equity securities below the then current 
market price or the then applicable conversion price, acquiring equity 
interests or assets of entities for consideration equal to or greater than 
$15 million, and engaging in

                                          40

<PAGE>

mergers for consideration equal to or greater than $15 million.  The Preferred
Stock will vote with the common stock on an as-if-converted basis on all matters
except the election of directors, subject to an aggregate maximum Preferred
Stock percentage of 37% of all votes entitled to be cast on such matters.
Assuming the conversion of all of the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock
and the exercise of all of the Carlyle Warrants, Carlyle would own approximately
31% of the common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.  Assuming the
conversion of all of the Series C Preferred Stock after the Second Closing and
the exercise of the GE Warrants, GE would own approximately 34% of the common
stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.

Pursuant to the terms of the Recapitalization, the number of directors 
comprising the Company's Board of Directors (the Board) is currently fixed at 
nine.  Six directors (Common Stock Directors) are to be elected by the common 
stockholders, one of whom (Joint Director) is to be proposed by Carlyle and 
GE and approved by a majority of the Board in its sole discretion.  Of the 
three remaining directors (Preferred Stock Directors), two are to be elected 
by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and one is to be elected by 
the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, in each case acting by written 
consent and without a meeting of the common stockholders.  As long as Carlyle 
and certain affiliates thereof own an aggregate of at least 50% of the Series 
B Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will have the 
right to elect two Preferred Stock Directors and as long as Carlyle and 
certain affiliates thereof own an aggregate of at least 25% of such stock, 
such holders will have the right to elect one Preferred Stock Director.  As 
long as GE and its affiliates own an aggregate of at least 25% of the Series 
C Preferred Stock it will have the right to elect one Preferred Stock 
Director.  If any such ownership percentage falls below 
the applicable threshold, the Preferred Stock Director(s) formerly entitled 
to be elected by Carlyle or GE, as the case may be, will thereafter be 
elected by the common stockholders.

At any time after the first anniversary of the initial funding of the Bank 
Financing, all of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred 
Stock may be converted into a newly created Convertible Preferred Stock, 
Series D, par value $0.001 per share (Series D Preferred Stock).  The Series 
D Preferred Stock allows the number of directors to be automatically 
increased to a number which would permit each of Carlyle and GE, by filling 
the newly created vacancies, to achieve representation on the Board 
proportionate to their respective common stock ownership percentages on an 
as-if-converted basis but would limit such representation to less than two 
thirds of the Board of Directors for a certain period of time.  The Series D 
Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $0.001 per share but no 
mandatory or optional redemption provision.  It will participate in any 
dividends paid with respect to the common stock and will be convertible into 
6,322,660 shares of common stock.  Presently, the Board consists of seven 
directors, five of whom are Common Stock Directors and two of whom are 
Preferred Stock Directors.  GE intends to wait until the Second Closing to 
elect its Preferred Stock Director.  The vacancy created for the Joint 
Director has not yet been filled.

Holders of the Preferred Stock also have a right of first offer with respect 
to future sales in certain transactions or proposed transactions not 
involving a public offering by the Company of its common stock or securities 
convertible into common stock. Holders of the Preferred Stock are also 
entitled to certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights.

                            INSIGHT HEALTH SERVICES CORP.
                  CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS
                       OF CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES B
                                           
                (Pursuant to Section 151(g) of the General Corporation
                            Law of the State of Delaware.)

      InSight Health Services Corp., a corporation organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter the "Company"), DOES HEREBY
CERTIFY THAT, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board") by the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as
amended, the Board unanimously adopted the following resolutions on October 14,
1997 authorizing the issuance of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the
Company, which resolutions are still in full force and effect and are not in
conflict with any provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of
the Company: 

      RESOLVED, that pursuant to authority vested in the Board by the 
Certificate of Incorporation, the Board does hereby establish a series of 
preferred stock of the Company from the Company's authorized class of 
3,500,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred shares, such series to consist 
of 25,000 shares, and does hereby fix and state the voting rights, 
designation, powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or 
other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions 
thereof, as follows:

      SECTION 1.     DESIGNATION.  

      The Preferred Stock created and authorized hereby shall be designated as
the "Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B" (hereinafter called the "SERIES B
PREFERRED STOCK").  The number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be
25,000 and no more.

      SECTION 2.     RANK.

      The Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend distributions
and distributions upon the liquidation, winding up and dissolution of the
Company, rank senior to all classes of Common Equity of the Company, and to each
other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company (except for the
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A (hereinafter called the "SERIES A
PREFERRED STOCK")) the terms of which do not expressly provide that it ranks
senior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend
distributions and distributions upon the liquidation, winding up and dissolution
of the Company (collectively referred to with the Common Equity of the Company
as "JUNIOR SECURITIES").  The Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to
dividend distributions and distributions upon the liquidation, winding up and
dissolution of the Company, rank on a parity with any class or series of Capital
Stock hereafter created which expressly provides that it ranks on a parity with
the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend distributions and distributions upon
the liquidation, winding up and dissolution of the Company (shares of such a
class or series, together with shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, shares of
the Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C (the "SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK"), and
shares
<PAGE>

of the Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D (the "SERIES D PREFERRED
STOCK") are, collectively, the "PARITY SECURITIES"); provided that any purported
Parity Securities that were not created, authorized or issued in accordance with
Section 11 hereof shall be deemed to be Junior Securities and not Parity
Securities.  The Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend
distributions and distributions upon the liquidation, winding up and dissolution
of the Company, rank junior to each class or series of Capital Stock hereafter
issued in accordance with Section 11 hereof and which expressly provides that it
ranks senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend distributions or
distributions upon the liquidation, winding up and dissolution of the Company
("SENIOR SECURITIES").  Any purported Supervoting Securities that were not
created, authorized or issued in accordance with Section 11 hereof shall be
deemed for all purposes related to voting rights to be identical to Common
Stock, including, without limitation, as to voting rights with respect to the
election of directors and all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

      SECTION 3.     DIVIDENDS.

      (a)  The Company may (when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors
of the Company) declare and pay dividends, out of the entire assets and funds of
the Company legally available therefor to the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series D
Preferred Stock and the common stock, $.001 par value per share, of the Company
(the "COMMON STOCK") ratably based on the number of shares of Common Stock held
by each such Holder (assuming full conversion of all such shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series
D Preferred Stock into Common Stock); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no dividend
whatsoever shall be paid, and no distribution shall be made, on any Common Stock
unless and until each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock shall have been
paid in full its respective pro rata portion of such dividend.

      (b)  Holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to receive the dividends provided for in Section 3(a) hereof in preference to
and in priority over any dividends upon any of the Junior Securities, except
for the Common Stock.

      (c)  Holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to receive the dividends provided for in Section 3(a) hereof on a pro rata basis
with respect to any dividends upon any Parity Securities.

      SECTION 4.     LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.

      (a)  Upon any Liquidating Event with respect to the Company, the Holders
of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be
paid, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its
stockholders, $1,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock (the "LIQUIDATION
PREFERENCE"), plus an amount in cash equal to any declared but unpaid dividends
thereon, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the
holders of any of the Junior Securities, including, without limitation, Common
Stock.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, holders of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any distribution in the event
of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the

                                       2
<PAGE>

Company.  If the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the 
liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the 
Series B Preferred Stock and all Parity Securities, then the holders of all 
such shares shall share equally and ratably in such distribution of assets of 
the Company in accordance with the amounts which would be payable on such 
distribution if the amount to which the holders of outstanding shares of 
Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of all Parity 
Securities are entitled were paid in full.

      (b)  "LIQUIDATING EVENT" shall mean, with respect to any Person, any of
the following events:  (i) the commencement by such Person of a voluntary case
under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, as now or hereafter in effect,
or the commencement of an involuntary case against such Person with respect to 
which the petition shall not be controverted within 15 days, or be dismissed 
within 60 days, after commencement thereof; (ii) the appointment of a custodian
for, or the taking charge by a custodian of, all or substantially all of the 
property of such Person; (iii) the commencement by such Person of any proceeding
under any reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of debtors, 
dissolution, insolvency or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction 
whether now or hereafter in effect relating to such Person; (iv) the 
commencement against such Person of any proceeding set forth in the preceding 
clause (iii), which is not controverted within 10 days thereof and dismissed 
within 60 days after the commencement thereof; (v) the adjudication of such 
Person insolvent or bankrupt, or the adoption by such Person of a plan of 
liquidation; (vi) the occurrence of any Change of Control with respect to 
such Person or (vii) the filing of a certificate of dissolution in respect of 
the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; in any of 
cases (i) through (vi) above, in a single transaction or series of related 
transactions. 
      
      SECTION 5.     TYPE A CONVERSION
   
      (a)  Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right, at its
option, at any time, to convert, subject to the terms and provisions of this
Section 5, all, but not less than all, of its Series B Preferred Stock then
outstanding into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock as results from dividing (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate Liquidation
Preference of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted plus (B)
any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares, by (ii) the applicable
Conversion Price on the Conversion Date.  In addition, and without limiting the
right to conversion in whole set forth above, substantially contemporaneously
with any Partial Conversion Event, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall
have the right, at its option, to convert (which conversion, if such option is
exercised, shall be deemed to occur on such Partial Conversion Event), subject
to the terms and provisions of this Section 5, all or any part of its Series B
Preferred Stock then outstanding into such number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock as results from dividing (i) the sum of
(A) the aggregate Liquidation Preference of all shares of Series B Preferred
Stock to be converted plus (B) any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares,
by (ii) the applicable Conversion Price (as defined below) on the Conversion
Date.  The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be treated for all
purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such shares of Common
Stock on the Conversion Date and such conversion shall be at the Conversion
Price in effect at such time.  

                                       3
<PAGE>

     
      (b)  In order to convert all or any portion of its outstanding Series B
Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 5, the
holder of such Series B Preferred Stock shall deliver certificates representing
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted to the Company at its
principal office, together with written notice that it elects to convert those
shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 5.  Such notice shall specify the number of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted and the name or names in
which the holder wishes the certificates for shares of Common Stock to be
registered.
      
      (c)  Upon any Type A Conversion, pursuant to this Section 5 and Section 5
of the certificate of designation of Series C Preferred Stock, of all of the
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, the
Company shall immediately file a certificate with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware, pursuant to Section 151(g) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, setting forth a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Company that none of the authorized shares of Series D
Preferred Stock are outstanding and that none will be issued subject to the
Series D Certificate of Designation.
      
      SECTION 6.     TYPE B CONVERSION
    
      (a)  The right to conversion set forth in this Section 6 shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, the conversion rights set forth in Section 5.  

      (b)  At any time on or after the Type B Trigger Date, the Majority Holders
may elect to deliver an irrevocable Type B Conversion notice (the "TYPE B
CONVERSION NOTICE") to the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such Type B
Conversion Notice shall be effective unless substantially contemporaneously with
the delivery of such Type B Conversion Notice, Majority Holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock shall deliver a Type B Conversion Notice (as defined in the
Certificate of Designation relating to the Series C Preferred Stock) to the
Company.  The date of delivery to the Company of a Type B Conversion Notice
shall be denominated herein a "TYPE B EVENT DATE" or a "CONVERSION DATE".  Upon
receipt of a Type B Conversion Notice, the Company shall as soon as practicable
deliver a copy of such Type B Conversion Notice to each holder of Series B
Preferred Stock and each holder of Series C Preferred Stock.
   
      (c)  On the Type B Event Date, each share of Series B Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall automatically be converted into such number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Series D Preferred Stock as results from dividing (i)
the sum of (A) the aggregate Liquidation Preference of such share of Series B
Preferred Stock plus (B) any declared but unpaid dividends on such share, by
(ii) the product of ten (10) times the applicable Conversion Price on the
Conversion Date.  The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Series
D Preferred Stock upon conversion of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall be treated for all purposes (including without limitation voting rights)
as having become the record holder or holders of such shares of Series D
Preferred Stock on the Type B Event Date, whether or not such person or persons
deliver its certificates for shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Company
on the Type B Event Date.  

                                       4
<PAGE>

      (d)  As soon as practicable after the Type B Event Date, each holder of
Series B Preferred Stock shall deliver its certificates for shares of Series B
Preferred Stock to the Company at its principal office.  Except as provided in
this Certificate of Designation, all rights with respect to such Series B
Preferred Stock shall terminate on the Type B Event Date, and on such Type B
Event Date the holders of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into which the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted shall have all of the rights
accorded to holders of the Company's Series D Preferred Stock.
    
      (e)  The rights of holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant
to this Section 6 shall not be transferable, except to an Initial Purchaser
Affiliate.
     
      SECTION 7.     GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO CONVERSION
    
      The following provisions shall be applicable to any conversion pursuant to
either Section 5 or Section 6 hereof.
    
      (a)  As promptly as practicable after the surrender as hereinabove 
provided of certificates representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock 
converted or to be converted into shares of Common Stock or Series D 
Preferred Stock, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the 
holder, or the holder's designee, certificates representing the number of 
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred 
Stock into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock are converted 
(including any adjustment pursuant to Section 8(b) below) and, if less than 
the entire number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by the 
certificate or certificates surrendered is to be converted, a new certificate 
for the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock not so converted.  So 
long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the 
Company shall not close its Common Stock transfer books. The issuance of 
certificates representing shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock 
issued upon the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be 
made without charge to the holder of Series B Preferred Stock for any tax in 
respect of the issuance of such certificates (other than any transfer, 
withholding or other tax if the shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred 
Stock are to be registered in a name different from that of the registered 
holder of Series B Preferred Stock).

      (b)  No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing 
fractional shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock shall be issued 
upon any conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and the number 
of shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock to be issued shall be 
rounded up to a whole share.

      (c)  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of 
its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock, par 
value $.001 per share, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of 
shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock and the 
issuance of Common Stock in respect of the Warrants and the GE Warrants, the 
full number of whole shares of Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock then 
deliverable upon the conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 
Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding and the issuance of Common Stock in 
respect of the Warrants and the GE Warrants.  The Company shall take at all 
times such corporate action as shall be necessary in

                                      5
<PAGE>

order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and 
non-assessable shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock upon the 
conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the 
provisions of Section 5 and Section 6, the conversion of shares of Series C 
Preferred Stock and the issuance of Common Stock in respect of the Warrants 
and the GE Warrants.  If at any time the number of authorized but unissued 
shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to 
effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series B 
Preferred Stock, the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series C 
Preferred Stock and the issuance of Common Stock in respect of the Warrants 
and the GE Warrants, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available 
to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company shall forthwith 
take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but 
unissued shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock to such numbers 
of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including but not limited 
to promptly calling and holding a meeting of the Company's stockholders, at 
which the Company's stockholders shall vote on a proposed amendment to the 
Certificate of Incorporation that would so increase the number of authorized 
shares of Common Stock or preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, as 
appropriate, a favorable vote for which amendment shall have been recommended 
to the Company's stockholders by the Board of Directors, pursuant to a duly 
and validly adopted resolution of the Board of Directors setting forth the 
amendment proposed and declaring its advisability, all in accordance with 
Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; and, in case of an 
increase in the number of authorized shares, of such preferred stock, the 
Board of Directors shall promptly cause to become effective a certificate of 
increase pursuant to Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.   

      (d)  If any shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock to be 
reserved for the purpose of conversion of Series B Preferred Stock require 
registration or listing with, or approval of, any governmental authority, 
stock exchange, NASD Inc., Nasdaq or other regulatory body under any federal 
or state law, federal or state regulation, rule of NASD Inc., Nasdaq or 
otherwise, before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon 
conversion, the Company shall, in good faith and as expeditiously as 
practicable, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as 
the case may be.

      (e)  All shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred 
Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock 
shall upon issuance by the Company be validly issued, fully paid and 
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the 
issuance thereof.

      (f)  In the event of any taking by the Company of a 
record of the holders of any class of Capital Stock for the purpose of 
determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or 
other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire 
any shares of Capital Stock or any other securities or property, or to 
receive any other right, the Company shall mail to each holder of Series B 
Preferred Stock, at least 20 days prior to the date specified therein, a 
notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the 
purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character 
of such dividend, distribution or right. 
    
                                       6

      (g)  The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities or any other action, avoid
or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at all times in good
faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 7 and
Sections 5, 6 and 8 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock against impairment of any kind.
    
      SECTION 8.     CONVERSION PRICE.  
    
      (a)  As used herein, the "Conversion Price" shall initially be $8.375 per
share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as set forth below.  In order to
prevent the dilution of the rights granted hereunder, the Conversion Price shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 8.

      (b)  If and whenever the Company issues or sells or, in accordance with
Section 8(c), is deemed to have issued or sold, any share of Common Equity
without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, the Conversion Price
in effect immediately prior to such time shall immediately be reduced to the
price determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the sum of (A) the number of
shares of Common Equity outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
multiplied by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance,
and (B) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance,
by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Equity outstanding immediately
after such issuance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no
adjustment to the Conversion Price with respect to (i) the granting of stock
options to employees of the Company authorized but not granted as of the Initial
Issue Date for an aggregate of up to 300,000 shares of Common Equity (as such
number of shares is equitably adjusted for subsequent stock splits
reclassifications, stock combinations, stock dividends and recapitalizations),
or (ii) the issuance upon exercise of up to 300,000 shares of Common Equity (as
such number of shares is equitably adjusted for subsequent stock splits, stock
combinations, stock dividends and recapitalizations) in connection with the
stock options described in clause (i) of this sentence.
 
      (c)  For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under
Section 8(b) above, the following shall be applicable:
      
           (1)  CONSIDERATION.  If any Common Equity, Options or Convertible
    Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for
    cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the cash
    amount received by the Company therefor (which, in the case of any public
    offering of such securities for cash, shall not be reduced for any
    underwriters discount, and in no event shall be reduced by the amount of
    any reasonable expenses actually paid by the Company in connection
    therewith).  In case any Common Equity, Options or Convertible Securities
    are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the
    consideration other than cash received by

                                      7
<PAGE>

the Company shall be the fair market value of such consideration.  In 
case any Common Equity, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to 
the owners of the other constituent entity in connection with any merger 
in which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a constituent 
entity, the amount of consideration for such Common Equity, Options or 
Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be the fair market value of 
such portion of the net assets and business of such other constituent 
entity as is fairly attributable to such Common Equity, Options or 
Convertible Securities, as the case may be.  The fair market value of any 
consideration other than cash shall be determined jointly by the Company 
and the Majority Holders.  If such parties are unable to reach agreement 
within a reasonable period of time, such fair market value shall be 
determined by an appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the 
Majority Holders.  If such parties are unable to reach agreement within a 
reasonable period of time, such fair market value shall be determined by 
an appraiser reasonably selected by the Company and reasonably approved 
by the Majority Holders.  The determination of such appraiser shall be 
final and binding on the Company and the holders of the shares of Series 
B Preferred Stock, and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be 
paid by the Company, unless the fair market value determined by such 
appraiser is less than five percent (5%) above the value proposed in 
writing by the Company and rejected by the Majority Holders prior to the 
selection of such appraiser, in which event the fees and expenses of such 
appraiser shall be for the account of the holders of the then outstanding 
shares of Series B Preferred Stock (on a pro rata basis).

           (2) OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES.  In the case of the granting
    or sale of any Option or Convertible Security (whether or not at the time 
    convertible, exercisable or exchangeable):

                 (A)  the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Equity
                 deliverable, directly or indirectly, upon exercise of any 
                 Option shall be deemed to have been issued at the 
                 time such Option was granted and for a consideration equal
                 to the (i) consideration (determined in the manner provided in
                 subsection (1) above), if any, received by the Company upon the
                 issuance of such Option plus (ii) the minimum purchase price 
                 provided in such Option for the Common Equity covered thereby,
                 up to an amount equal to the Conversion Price in effect at the
                 time such Option was granted;

                 (B)  the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Equity
                 deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such
                 Convertible Security, or upon the exercise of any Option to
                 purchase or acquire any Convertible Security and the 
                 subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to
                 have been issued at the time such Convertible Security was 
                 issued or such Option was issued and for a consideration equal
                 to the consideration, if any, received by the Company for any
                 such Convertible Security and any related Option, plus the 
                 additional consideration (determined in the manner provided in
                 subsection (1)

                                       8
<PAGE>

                 above), if any, to be received by the Company upon the
                 conversion or exchange of such Convertible Security, or upon
                 the exercise of any related Option to purchase or acquire any
                 Convertible Security and the subsequent conversion or exchange
                 thereof;

                 (C)  on any change in the number of shares of Common Equity
                 deliverable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion, exercise
                 or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or any 
                 change in the consideration to be received by the Company upon
                 such exercise, conversion or exchange, including, but not 
                 limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution 
                 provisions thereof, the Conversion Price as then in effect 
                 shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would
                 have been obtained had an adjustment been made upon the 
                 issuance of such Option or Convertible Security upon the basis
                 of such change;

                 (D)  if the Conversion Price shall have been adjusted upon the
                 issuance of any such Option or Convertible Security, no further
                 adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made for the actual
                 issuance of Common Equity upon any exercise, conversion, or 
                 exchange thereof;

      provided, however, that none of the events set forth in Section 8(c)(2)(A)
      through 8(c)(2)(D), inclusive, shall result in any increase in the 
      Conversion Price.

           (3)  INTEGRATED TRANSACTION.  In case any Option is issued in 
      connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company,
      together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific 
      consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the
      Options shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.

           (4)  TREASURY SHARES.  The number of shares of Common Equity 
      outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or
      for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned
      or held shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Equity.

           (5)  RECORD DATE.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of
      Common Equity for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend
      or other distribution payable in Common Equity, Options or in Convertible
      Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Equity, Options or
      Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the
      date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Equity deemed to have
      been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of
      such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of     
      subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

      (d)  If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock 
dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes
of its outstanding shares of Common Equity into a greater number of shares, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be 
proportionately reduced.  If the Company at any time combines

                                       9
<PAGE>

(by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding 
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price 
in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately 
increased.

       (e)  Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, 
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's 
assets or other transaction, in each case which is effected in such a way 
that the holders of Common Equity are entitled to receive (either directly or 
upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, cash, debt instruments or 
assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Equity is referred to herein 
as a "CORPORATE CHANGE." In case of any Corporate Change, each share of 
Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding will become convertible only into 
the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon 
such Corporate Change by the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock 
into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock was convertible immediately 
prior thereto (assuming such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any 
rights of election).  The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, 
merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor 
entity (if other than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or 
the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument the 
obligation to deliver to the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock 
such shares of stock, securities, cash, debt instruments or assets as, in 
accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to 
acquire.

      (f)  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of 
this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, 
without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock 
rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company's Board of 
Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as 
to protect the rights of the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred 
Stock; provided that no such adjustment shall increase the Conversion Price 
obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8. 

      (g)  If the Company declares or pays a dividend upon the Common Equity 
payable otherwise than out of earnings or earned surplus (determined in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently 
applied) except for a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock (a 
"LIQUIDATING DIVIDEND"), then the Company shall pay to each holder of a share 
of Series B Preferred Stock at the time of payment thereof the Liquidating 
Dividend which would have been paid to such holder on the Common Stock such 
holder would have owned had such holder fully exercised its right to convert 
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock 
immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Liquidating 
Dividend, or, if no record is taken, the date as of which the record holders 
of Common Equity entitled to such dividends are to be determined; provided, 
however, that if a Liquidating Dividend would involve the declaration or 
payment as a dividend of at least the lesser of (i) twenty percent (20%) of 
the Company's assets and (ii) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), then such 
Liquidating Dividend shall, at the option of the Majority Holders, be deemed 
to be a Liquidating Event and the rights of the holders of the shares of 
Series B Preferred Stock upon such Liquidating Event shall be governed by 
Section 4 hereof.

                                       10
<PAGE>

      (h)  Any transaction approved by the unanimous vote of 
the Acquisitions Committee or the unanimous vote of the Board pursuant to 
Section 10(c)(4) hereof shall not result in any adjustment to the Conversion 
Price in effect as of the closing of such transaction.

      SECTION 9.   NO REDEMPTION.

           The shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be 
subject to mandatory redemption by the Company.

                                       11
<PAGE>

      SECTION 10.    VOTING RIGHTS AND RELATED PROVISIONS.

      (a)  The Holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock will have 
the right to vote with the holders of Common Stock and the holders of the 
Series C Preferred Stock with respect to all matters submitted to a 
shareholder vote, except for the election of directors, which will be 
governed by Section 10(b) below.  Each Holder of Series B Preferred Stock 
will have one vote for every share of Common Stock into which each share of 
Series B Preferred Stock is convertible pursuant to Sections 5 and 7 hereof 
as of the record date for such vote; provided, however, that the aggregate 
number of votes under this Section 10(a), when combined with the aggregate 
number of votes attributable to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock 
pursuant to Section 10(a) of the Certificate of Designation with respect to 
the Series C Preferred Stock, with respect to any given matter submitted to a 
shareholder vote, shall not exceed 37% of the total number of votes eligible 
to be cast with respect to such matter (the "AGGREGATE VOTING LIMITATION").  
In order to effectuate the Aggregate Voting Limitation, the eligible votes 
allocable to each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C 
Preferred Stock shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis based on the percentage 
of aggregate Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock 
liquidation preference attributable to the shares owned by such holder, to 
the highest whole number consistent with the Aggregate Voting Limitation.  
Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock held by 
the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall not have voting rights 
hereunder and shall not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum or 
in calculating any percentage of shares under this Section 10.

      (b)  The provisions set forth in this Section 10(b) shall govern the 
rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to elect directors of 
the Company:
         
         (1)  SERIES B DIRECTORS; JOINT DIRECTOR.  
         
              (A)  The number of directors of the Company shall be as from time
    to time fixed by, or determined in the manner provided in, the Certificate
    of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company (subject, in all respects,
    to the protective provisions contained in Section 11 hereof).  Prior to a
    Type B Event Date, the number of directors shall be no less than eight (8)
    nor more than nine (9), of which one member shall be the Joint Director. 
    Two of such directors shall be designated as "SERIES B DIRECTORS" and shall
    be elected by the Majority Holders and one such director shall be
    designated as "Joint Director" and shall be an Independent director
    nominated by the Majority Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the
    Majority Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, approved by the Board of
    Directors in its sole discretion.  Unless a Type B Conversion Notice has
    been given, one Series B Director shall automatically be removed if the
    aggregate liquidation preference with respect to the Series B Preferred
    Stock owned by the Initial Purchaser and the Initial Purchaser Affiliates,
    taken as a whole, falls below 50% but is no less than 25% of the total
    liquidation preference of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding
    on the Initial Issue Date.  Unless a Type B Conversion Notice has been 
    given, both Series B Directors shall automatically be removed if the
    aggregate liquidation preference with respect to the Series B Preferred 
    Stock owned by the Initial Purchaser and the Initial Purchaser Affiliates,
    taken as a whole, falls below

                                      12
<PAGE>

    25% of the total liquidation preference of the shares of Series B Preferred
    Stock outstanding on the Initial Issue Date.  Prior to a Type B Event Date,
    the Majority Holders shall have the exclusive right to remove such Series B
    Director or Series B Directors without cause at any time and to designate 
    another person or persons as the Series B Director or Series B Directors.

           (B) The Preferred Stock Directors shall be divided into three (3)  
    classes as nearly equal in number as possible, with the term of office of
    the first Preferred Stock Director to be nominated and elected by the 
    holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, at their option at any time after
    the initial issuance of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, to expire
    at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 1998, the term of office of
    the second Preferred Stock Director to be nominated and elected by the 
    holders of the Series B Preferred Stock upon initial issuance of the shares
    of Series B Preferred Stock to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders
    held in 2000, the term of office of the Preferred Stock Director to be 
    nominated and elected by the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock upon
    initial issuance of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to expire at the
    annual meeting of stockholders held in 1999, and the term of office of the
    Joint Director to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders for 1997. 
    At each annual meeting of stockholders after such initial classification 
    and election, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms 
    expire at such annual meeting shall be elected for a term of office to 
    expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their
    election. 

              (C)  Upon a Type B Event Date, any Series B Director already
    serving as a member of the Board shall continue to serve in such position
    until the expiration of his term and the election of his successor or until
    his earlier death, removal, resignation or retirement. After a Type B Event
    Date, the Joint Director and the Series B Director or Directors shall be
    subject to removal only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of
    eighty percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares
    of the Corporation entitled to vote.  The Preferred Stock Directors and the
    Joint Director shall not be removed without cause otherwise than as
    described in this Section 10(b)(1). 
    
              (D)  After a Type B Event Date, the Board of Directors shall
    comprise:  (i) one Joint Director, until the expiration of his term, as
    provided herein; (ii) three Preferred Stock Directors, until the expiration
    of their respective terms, after which time such positions previously
    elected by holders of the series of Preferred Stock that gave the Type B
    Conversion Notice shall be subject to election by holders of shares of
    Series D Preferred Stock, subject to the limitations contained in the
    Series D Certificate of Designation; (iii) not less than four (4) nor more
    than five (5) additional directors elected by holders of shares of Common
    Equity and Series D Preferred Stock, subject to the limitations contained
    in the Series D Certificate of Designation; and (iv) such number of other
    directors (the "Conversion Directors") elected following a Type B Event
    Date by the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock as is determined
    pursuant to the Series D Certificate of Designation.
    
                                      13
<PAGE>

        (2)  With respect to filling the vacancy on the Board of Directors
    with the initial Joint Director, the holders of shares of Series B
    Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall give written notice to
    the Secretary of the Company of the identity of the person nominated by
    such holders.  Such written notice shall be executed, manually, or by
    photocopy or facsimile, in any number of counterparts, by the Majority
    Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and by the Majority Holders of the
    Series C Preferred Stock.  The person so nominated shall be "independent,"
    which means that such person shall not be a director, officer, or employee
    or affiliate (as defined in Section 203(c) of the Delaware General
    Corporation Law) of any of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock or
    Series C Preferred Stock or the Company.  Upon receipt of such written
    notice, the Board of Directors shall have ten (10) business days in which
    to approve or disapprove such nominee.  If the Board of Directors approves
    such nominee, such nominee shall immediately fill such vacancy.  If the
    Board of Directors disapproves such nominee, the Secretary of the Company
    shall immediately give written notice thereof to all of the holders of
    shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock.  If such a
    written notice from the Secretary has not been received by such holders
    twelve (12) business days after the receipt by the Company of such written
    notice of nomination, then the Board of Directors shall be conclusively
    deemed to have approved such nominee and such nominee shall immediately
    fill such vacancy.  If such written notice from the Secretary has been so
    received within such twelve (12) business days, such holders may nominate
    another independent person by written notice to the Secretary, subject to
    the same approval process as hereinabove provided.  Such process of
    nomination and approval or disapproval shall continue until an independent
    person is nominated who is approved or deemed to be approved by the Board
    of Directors.  No nominations for such director shall be made or received
    other than as described in this Section 10(b)(2).  
         
         (3)  With respect to the nomination and election of succeeding Joint
    Directors, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
    Preferred Stock shall give timely written notice to the Secretary of the
    Company of the identity of the person nominated by such holders.  Such
    written notice shall be executed, manually, or by photocopy or facsimile,
    in any number of counterparts, by the Majority Holders of the Series B
    Preferred Stock and by the Majority Holders of the Series C Preferred
    Stock.  Such written notice shall be timely if received at the principal
    executive office of the Company not less than 60 days nor more than 120
    days before the meeting of shareholders at which such director is to be
    elected.  The person so nominated shall be "independent," which means that
    such person shall not be a director, officer, employee or affiliate (as
    defined in Section 203(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law) of any
    of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or
    the Company.  Upon receipt of such written notice, the Board of Directors
    shall have ten (10) business days in which to approve or disapprove such
    nominee.  If the Board of Directors disapproves such nominee, the Secretary
    of the Company shall immediately give written notice thereof to all of the
    holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock. 
    If such a written notice from the Secretary has not been received by such
    holders twelve (12) business days after the receipt by the Company of such
    written

                                      14
<PAGE>

    notice of nomination, then the Board of Directors shall be
    conclusively deemed to have approved such nominee.  If such written notice
    from the Secretary has been so received within such twelve (12) business
    days, such holders may nominate another independent person by written
    notice to the Secretary, subject to the same approval process as
    hereinabove provided.  Such process of nomination and approval or
    disapproval shall continue until an independent person is nominated who is
    approved or deemed to be approved by the Board of Directors.  No
    nominations for such director shall be made or received other than as
    described in this Section 10(b)(3).  Election of such person shall be by
    the holders of shares of the Company's Common Stock.
         
         (4)  Prior to a Type B Event Date, a vacancy of a Preferred Stock
    Director position shall be filled only by a majority vote of or written
    consent of holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the
    series of Preferred Stock that elected the director whose death,
    resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office caused the
    vacancy.  Prior to a Type B Event Date, a vacancy of the position of Joint
    Director shall be filled only by the Board of Directors, following
    nomination by holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of
    Series B Preferred Stock and holders of a majority of the then outstanding
    shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, pursuant to the procedure described
    in Section 10(b)(2).  Directors chosen pursuant to any of the foregoing
    provisions shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
    stockholders at which the term of the class to which they have been elected
    expires and until their successors are duly elected and have qualified or
    until their earlier resignation or removal.  If holders of shares of Series
    B Preferred Stock shall, pursuant to the certificate of incorporation,
    cease to have the right to elect two Preferred Stock Directors but still
    shall have the right to elect one Preferred Stock Director, then holders of
    a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall
    promptly designate by written notice to the Company one of the two
    Preferred Stock Directors elected by holders of shares of Series B
    Preferred Stock as the director to be retained, and the other such director
    shall be deemed to have resigned immediately upon receipt by the Company of
    such written notice.  If holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
    shall, pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, but not as a result of
    a Type B Conversion, cease to have the right to elect any Preferred Stock
    Directors, then the two directors elected by holders of shares of Series B
    Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have resigned immediately upon such
    cessation.  Upon the occurrence of any such deemed resignation referred to
    in the immediately preceding two sentences, the directorship previously
    held by the director deemed to have resigned shall automatically become a
    vacancy to be filled by the Board of Directors.
         
         (5)  Shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be shares
    "entitled to vote" or "entitled to vote in the election of directors" for
    purposes of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation that employ
    such terms, and, for purposes of such provisions at any time, each
    outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall count as such number of
    shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock is
    then convertible pursuant to Sections 5 and 7 hereof (subject to the
    percentage

                                       15
<PAGE>

    limitation set forth in Section 10(a) hereof as such percentage
    limitation would otherwise apply pursuant to such Section).
    

    (c)  Immediately following the initial issuance of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors shall appoint the following committees
of the Board of Directors with the respective duties, membership and voting
requirements stated below.  After such appointment and until a Type B Event
Date, the following matters shall be deemed approved by the Board of Directors
only upon receiving the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors
and a majority of the directors elected by the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock: (A) a decision to eliminate or discharge
the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Executive Committee or the
Acquisitions Committee, as described more fully below (such committees are the
"Committees"), (B) a decision to reduce, narrow, attenuate or otherwise weaken
the delegation of powers by the Board of Directors to any of the Committees,
unless such reduction, narrowing, attenuation or other weakening is the transfer
of delegated powers from the Compensation Committee or the Acquisitions
Committee to the Executive Committee, (C) a decision to change the number of
members of any Committee, the identity of the persons or entities entitled to
select each of the members of any Committee, the size of the required vote for
approval by any Committee and the size of the required vote of the Board of
Directors necessary to approve actions that failed to obtain the required
approval vote on the appropriate Committee; and (D) a decision to create any new
committee.  If the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall cease to have
the right to nominate and elect any director at all, otherwise than as a result
of the conversion of their shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a Type B
Conversion, then such holders shall no longer have the right to select any
member of any of the committees set forth below and the member or members of
such committees selected by such holders shall automatically cease to be a
member or members of such committees.
    
        (1)  COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.  The Compensation Committee shall
    consist of three (3) members, at least one (1) of whom shall be
    selected jointly by the Series B Directors and director elected by
    holders of the Series C Preferred Stock (the "SERIES C DIRECTOR"), and
    who shall be a director.  An affirmative vote of at least two (2)
    members of the Compensation Committee shall be required for approval
    of matters considered by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation
    Committee shall ensure that the representative on the Compensation
    Committee nominated by the Series B Directors and the Series C
    Director receive adequate notice of and an opportunity to participate
    in any meetings of the Compensation Committee;
 
        (2)  AUDIT COMMITTEE.  The Audit Committee shall consist of three
    (3) directors, including as many Independent directors as are
    available, not to exceed three (3).  An affirmative vote of at least
    two (2) members of the Audit Committee shall be required for approval
    of matters considered by the Audit Committee.
  
        (3)  EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.  The Executive Committee shall consist
    of four (4) members, one (1) of whom shall be selected by the Series B
    Directors (and shall be a Series B Director), one (1) of whom shall be
    the Series C Director

                                        16
<PAGE>
    and two (2) of whom shall be selected by the Board of Directors. The members
    selected by the Series B Directors and the Series C Director may be removed
    only by the Series B Directors and the Series C Director, respectively.
    The Executive Committee shall, in addition to the customary duties of an
    executive committee, have the right to approve any financing activity, 
    including but not limited to the Capital Budget Plan.  An affirmative vote 
    of at least three (3) members of the Executive Committee shall be required
    for approval of any matters considered by the Executive Committee. 
    Each financing activity not approved by the Executive Committee may be
    referred to the Board of Directors for approval, which approval shall
    require a Supermajority Vote; and
         
        (4)  ACQUISITIONS COMMITTEE.  The Acquisitions Committee shall
    consist of four (4) members, one (1) of whom shall be selected by the
    Series B Directors (and shall be a Series B Director), one (1) of whom
    shall be the Series C Director, and two (2) of whom shall be selected
    by the Board of Directors (and shall be directors).  The Acquisitions
    Committee shall have the right to approve any transaction of the types
    described in Section 11(n), (o), (p) and (q) with respect to which
    transaction the aggregate consideration payable in connection with
    such transaction (including, without limitation, cash consideration,
    the fair market value of any securities and the net present value of
    any deferred consideration) is less than $15 million.  A unanimous
    vote of the Acquisitions Committee shall be required for approval of
    any matters considered by the Acquisitions Committee.  Except as
    described in Section 10(d)(5) below, each matter considered but not
    unanimously approved by the Acquisitions Committee may be referred to
    the Board of Directors for approval, which approval shall require a
    majority vote of the Board of Directors.  
        
       (5)  CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.  The unanimous approval of the
    Acquisitions Committee or the unanimous approval of the Board of
    Directors shall be required before the Company or any of its
    Subsidiaries engage in a transaction of the types described in Section
    11(n), (o) (which, only for purposes of this clause, shall also apply
    to Capital Expenditures made by the Company in the ordinary course of
    business), (p) and (q), in which transaction: (A) the aggregate
    consideration payable in connection with such transaction (including,
    without limitation, cash consideration, the fair market value of any
    securities and the net present value of any deferred consideration) is
    less than $15 million; and (B) the Company is to issue its Common
    Equity at an implicit or explicit price of less than $8.375 per share. 
    Such implicit price shall be determined in an appraisal approved
    unanimously by the Acquisitions Committee or unanimously by the Board
    of Directors, such appraisal to be performed by an independent
    appraiser selected unanimously by the Acquisitions Committee or
    unanimously by the Board of Directors.
    
    (d)  Prior to a Type B Event Date, the following matters shall be deemed
approved by the Board of Directors only upon a Supermajority Vote in respect of
any such matter:

                                       17
<PAGE>
         (1)  Approving the annual Capital Budget Plan; and
      
         (2)  Approving the Company entering into any financing activity
    not approved by the Executive Committee.
    
    (e)  The bylaws of the Company may be altered, amended, or repealed or new
bylaws may be adopted by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors at any
regular or special meeting of the stockholders or the Board of Directors, but
only if such alteration, amendment, repeal, or adoption has been approved: 
    
         (1) in case of adoption by the Board of Directors prior to the First
    Meeting following a Type B Event Date, by a majority of the Preferred Stock
    Directors and either (A) a majority of the entire Board of Directors (if
    such alteration, amendment, repeal, or adoption does not increase the
    number of directors) or (B) by at least 80% of the members of the entire
    Board of Directors (if such alteration, amendment, repeal, or adoption does
    increase the number of directors); 
     
         (2) in case of adoption by the stockholders at any meeting of
    stockholders (other than the First Meeting following a Type B Event Date)
    with a record date on or prior to a Type B Event Date, by holders of at
    least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of the Corporation
    entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting as one class, and by
    holders of a majority of the shares, outstanding as of such record date, of
    whichever (or both) of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred
    Stock continued (as of such record date) to have the right under the
    certificate of incorporation to elect one or more Preferred Stock
    Directors.
    
    (f)  If a Type B Event Date occurs prior to October 14, 1999, then the
following provisions shall apply:
    
         (1)  From such Type B Event Date until the second subsequent annual
    stockholders meeting of the Company after such Type B Event Date, none of
    the following actions or transactions shall be effected by the Company or

    shall engage in, or be a party to, any of the following actions or
    transactions involving the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, if, as
    of the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to
    vote thereon, or consent thereto, any other Person which obtained its

    the Initial Purchaser or any Initial Purchaser Affiliate beneficially owns
    or controls, directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more of the
    outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote:

         Company or any of its Subsidiaries to such other Person in exchange
         for cash, other assets or securities, or a combination thereof; or

              (D)  any dissolution or liquidation of the Company;

    PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such prohibition shall not apply with respect to
    any such action or transaction approved by (I) the affirmative vote of not
    less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of the Company
    entitled to vote or (II) at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors of the

    which it has the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement, or upon the

    stock of the Company or (y) which is its "affiliate" or "associate," as
    those terms are defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
    amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

         (2)  No transfer of Series C Preferred Stock may be made by the
    Initial Purchaser or any Initial Purchaser Affiliate (other than a transfer
    permitted under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or a transfer pursuant to
    a registered offering under registration rights from the Company) unless
    prior thereto, the transferee in such transfer shall have agreed to be
    bound by the terms of Section 10(f)(1).

indirectly, into Common Equity (collectively, "PREEMPTIVE SECURITIES").  
Preemptive Securities shall include, without limitation, all shares of Common
Stock and all Convertible Securities.

transaction not involving a public offering of such Preemptive Securities, the
Company shall first make an offering of such Preemptive Securities to each
holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the following
provisions:

         (1)  The Company shall deliver a notice by certified mail (the
    "PREEMPTIVE NOTICE") to each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
    stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer Preemptive Securities, (ii)
    the number of such Preemptive Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price
    and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Preemptive
    Securities.  In addition, the Preemptive Notice will contain all other

    Stock within 15 Business Days from the date of the Preemptive Notice, each
    holder may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms
    specified in the Preemptive Notice, up to that portion of such Preemptive
    Securities which equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common
    Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
    then held by such holder bears to the total number of shares of Common
    Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion of all
    convertible securities, including without limitation the Series A Preferred
    Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D
    Preferred Stock). 

         (3)  With respect to any Type B Offering of Preemptive Securities, by
    written notification given by each holder of shares of Series B Preferred
    Stock within 15 Business Days from the date of the Preemptive Notice, each
    holder may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms
    specified in the Preemptive Notice, up to that portion of such Preemptive
    Securities which equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common
    Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
    then held by such holder bears to the number of shares of Common Stock of
    the Company into which the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock
    and the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are then
    convertible.  

                                        24
<PAGE>

         (4)  If any of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock decline to
    exercise any right of refusal with respect to any offering to such holders
    of Series B Preferred Stock of any Preemptive Securities, such holders (the
    "DECLINING SERIES B HOLDERS") shall give written notification of such
    election to decline to exercise such rights to the Company within 15
    Business Days from the date of the Preemptive Notice.  Within 3 Business
    Days thereafter, the Company shall give written notification (the "DECLINED
    PREEMPTIVE SECURITIES NOTICE") to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock
    of the following: (i) the total number of shares of Preemptive Securities
    which the Declining Series B Holders declined to purchase (collectively,
    the "DECLINED PREEMPTIVE SECURITIES"), and (ii) the price and terms
    specified in the Preemptive Notice relating to such Declined Preemptive
    Securities.

         (5)  By written notification given by each holder of shares of Series
    B Preferred Stock within 3 Business Days from the date of the Declined
    Preemptive Securities Notice, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock may
    elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified by the
    Company for such sale of such Preemptive Securities, such Declined
    Preemptive Securities at the price and on the terms specified in the
    Preemptive Notice; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the total number of Declined
    Preemptive Securities so elected to be purchased by such holders of Series
    B Preferred Stock pursuant hereto (collectively, the "ELECTING HOLDERS")
    exceeds the total number of Declined Preemptive Securities, each such
    Electing Holder shall purchase, and the Company shall sell to such Electing
    Holder, that portion of the total number of Declined Preemptive Securities
    which equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock
    issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then
    held by such holder bears to the number of shares of Common Stock of the
    Company into which the outstanding shares of all Electing Holders are then
    convertible.  

         (6)  If all Preemptive Securities referred to in any Preemptive Notice
    are not elected to be obtained as provided in Section 15(b)(2) or 15(b)(3),
    or Section 15(b)(4) or 15(b)(5), as applicable, the Company may, at any
    time after the latest date set forth above for the exercise of the right to
    purchase any such Preemptive Securities by any holder of Series B Preferred
    Stock (the "PREEMPTIVE RIGHT EXPIRATION DATE") to the date sixty (60) days
    from the Preemptive Right Expiration Date offer the remaining unsubscribed
    portion of such Preemptive Securities to any Person or Persons at a price
    equal to the price specified in the relevant Preemptive Notice.  If the
    Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Preemptive
    Securities within sixty (60) days after the Preemptive Right Expiration
    Date, or if such agreement is not consummated within ninety (90) days of

    15 shall be deemed to be revived and such Preemptive Securities shall not
    be offered unless first reoffered to each holder of shares of Series B
    Preferred Stock in accordance herewith.

         (7)  The rights set forth in this Section 15 shall not be applicable
    to the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Options

                            INSIGHT HEALTH SERVICES CORP.

                  CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS
                       OF CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES C

                (Pursuant to Section 151(g) of the General Corporation
                            Law of the State of Delaware.)

    InSight Health Services Corp., a corporation organized and existing under 
the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter the "Company"), DOES HEREBY 
CERTIFY THAT, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of 
the Company (the "Board") by the certificate of incorporation of the Company, 
as amended, the Board unanimously adopted the following resolutions on 
October 14, 1997 authorizing the issuance of the Series C Convertible 
Preferred Stock of the Company, which resolutions are still in full force and 
effect and are not in conflict with any provisions of the certificate of 
incorporation or bylaws of the Company: 

    RESOLVED, that pursuant to authority vested in the Board by the 
Certificate of Incorporation, the Board does hereby establish a series of 
preferred stock of the Company from the Company's authorized class of 
3,500,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred shares, such series to consist 
of 27,953 shares, and does hereby fix and state the voting rights, 
designation, powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or 
other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions 
thereof, as follows:

    SECTION 1.     DESIGNATION.  

    The Preferred Stock created and authorized hereby shall be designated as
the "Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C" (hereinafter called the "SERIES C
PREFERRED STOCK").  The number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be
27,953 and no more.

    SECTION 2.     RANK.

    The Series C Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend distributions
and distributions upon the liquidation, winding up and dissolution of the
Company, rank senior to all classes of Common Equity of the Company, and to each
other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company (except for the
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A (hereinafter called the "SERIES A
PREFERRED STOCK")) the terms of which do not expressly provide that it ranks
senior to or on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividend
distributions and distributions upon the liquidation, winding up and dissolution
of the Company (collectively referred to with the Common Equity of the Company
as "JUNIOR SECURITIES").  The Series C Preferred Stock shall, with respect to
dividend distributions and distributions upon the liquidation, winding up and
dissolution of the Company, rank on a parity with any class or series of Capital
Stock hereafter created which expressly provides that it ranks on a parity with
the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividend distributions and distributions upon
the liquidation, winding up and dissolution of the Company (shares of such a
class or series, together with shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, shares of
the Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B (the "SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK"), and
shares

<PAGE>

of the Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D (the "SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK") 
are, collectively, the "Parity Securities"); provided that any purported 
Parity Securities that were not created, authorized or issued in accordance 
with Section 11 hereof shall be deemed to be Junior Securities and not Parity 
Securities.  The Series C Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend 
distributions and distributions upon the liquidation, winding up and 
dissolution of the Company, rank junior to each class or series of Capital 
Stock hereafter issued in accordance with Section 11 hereof and which 
expressly provides that it ranks senior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to 
dividend distributions or distributions upon the liquidation, winding up and 
dissolution of the Company ("SENIOR SECURITIES").  Any purported Supervoting 
Securities that were not created, authorized or issued in accordance with 
Section 11 hereof shall be deemed for all purposes related to voting rights 
to be identical to Common Stock, including, without limitation, as to voting 
rights with respect to the election of directors and all other matters 
submitted to a vote of stockholders.

    SECTION 3.     DIVIDENDS.

    (a)  The Company may (when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors 
of the Company) declare and pay dividends, out of the entire assets and funds 
of the Company legally available therefor, to the holders of the Series A 
Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock, 
the Series D Preferred Stock and the common stock, $.001 par value per share, 
of the Company (the "COMMON STOCK") ratably based on the number of shares of 
Common Stock held by each such Holder (assuming full conversion of all such 
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C 
Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock into Common Stock); PROVIDED, 
HOWEVER, that no dividend whatsoever shall be paid, and no distribution shall 
be made, on any Common Stock unless and until each holder of the Series A 
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and 
Series D Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full its respective pro rata 
portion of such dividend.

    (b)  Holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled 
to receive the dividends provided for in Section 3(a) hereof in preference to 
and in priority over any dividends upon any of the Junior Securities, except 
for the Common Stock.

    (c)  Holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled 
to receive the dividends provided for in Section 3(a) hereof on a pro rata 
basis with respect to any dividends upon any Parity Securities.

    SECTION 4.     LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.

    (a)  Upon any Liquidating Event with respect to the Company, the Holders 
of shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to 
be paid, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its 
stockholders, $1,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock (the "LIQUIDATION 
PREFERENCE"), plus an amount in cash equal to any declared but unpaid 
dividends thereon, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed 
to the holders of any of the Junior Securities, including, without 
limitation, Common Stock.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, 
holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any 
distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the 
affairs of the

                                       2
<PAGE>

Company.  If the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the 
liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the 
Series C Preferred Stock and all Parity Securities, then the holders of all 
such shares shall share equally and ratably in such distribution of assets of 
the Company in accordance with the amounts which would be payable on such 
distribution if the amount to which the holders of outstanding shares of 
Series C Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of all Parity 
Securities are entitled were paid in full.

    (b)  "LIQUIDATING EVENT" shall mean, with respect to any Person, any of 
the following events:  (i) the commencement by such Person of a voluntary 
case under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, as now or hereafter in 
effect, or the commencement of an involuntary case against such Person with 
respect to which the petition shall not be controverted within 15 days, or be 
dismissed within 60 days, after commencement thereof; (ii) the appointment of 
a custodian for, or the taking charge by a custodian of, all or substantially 
all of the property of such Person; (iii) the commencement by such Person of 
any proceeding under any reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, 
relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or liquidation or similar law of 
any jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in effect relating to such Person; 
(iv) the commencement against such Person of any proceeding set forth in the 
preceding clause (iii), which is not controverted within 10 days thereof and 
dismissed within 60 days after the commencement thereof; (v) the adjudication 
of such Person insolvent or bankrupt, or the adoption by such Person of a 
plan of liquidation; (vi) the occurrence of any Change of Control with 
respect to such Person or (vii) the filing of a certificate of dissolution in 
respect of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; 
in any of cases (i) through (vi) above, in a single transaction or series of 
related transactions. 

    SECTION 5.     TYPE A CONVERSION

    (a)  Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right, at its 
option, at any time, to convert, subject to the terms and provisions of this 
Section 5, all, but not less than all, of its Series C Preferred Stock then 
outstanding into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of 
Common Stock as results from dividing (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate 
Liquidation Preference of all shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be 
converted plus (B) any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares, by (ii) 
the applicable Conversion Price on the Conversion Date.  In addition, and 
without limiting the right to conversion in whole set forth above, 
substantially contemporaneously with any Partial Conversion Event, each 
holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right, at its option, to 
convert (which conversion, if such option is exercised, shall be deemed to 
occur on such Partial Conversion Event), subject to the terms and provisions 
of this Section 5, all or any part of its Series C Preferred Stock then 
outstanding into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of 
Common Stock as results from dividing (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate 
Liquidation Preference of all shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be 
converted plus (B) any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares, by (ii) 
the applicable Conversion Price (as defined below) on the Conversion Date.  
The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon 
conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be treated for 
all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such shares of 
Common Stock on the Conversion Date and such conversion shall be at the 
Conversion Price in effect at such time.  

                                       3
<PAGE>

    (b)  In order to convert all or any portion of its outstanding Series C 
Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 5, the 
holder of such Series C Preferred Stock shall deliver certificates 
representing the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted to the 
Company at its principal office, together with written notice that it elects 
to convert those shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common 
Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.  Such notice shall 
specify the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted and 
the name or names in which the holder wishes the certificates for shares of 
Common Stock to be registered.

    (c)  Upon any Type A Conversion, pursuant to this Section 5 and Section 5 
of the certificate of designation of Series B Preferred Stock, of all of the 
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, 
the Company shall immediately file a certificate with the Secretary of State 
of the State of Delaware, pursuant to Section 151(g) of the Delaware General 
Corporation Law, setting forth a resolution or resolutions adopted by the 
Board of Directors of the Company that none of the authorized shares of 
Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding and that none will be issued subject 
to the Series D Certificate of Designation.

    SECTION 6.     TYPE B CONVERSION

    (a)  The right to conversion set forth in this Section 6 shall be in 
addition to, and not in lieu of, the conversion rights set forth in Section 
5.  

    (b)  At any time on or after the Type B Trigger Date, the Majority 
Holders may elect to deliver an irrevocable Type B Conversion notice (the 
"TYPE B CONVERSION NOTICE") to the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such 
Type B Conversion Notice shall be effective unless substantially 
contemporaneously with the delivery of such Type B Conversion Notice, 
Majority Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall deliver a Type B 
Conversion Notice (as defined in the Certificate of Designation relating to 
the Series B Preferred Stock) to the Company.  The date of delivery to the 
Company of a Type B Conversion Notice shall be denominated herein a "TYPE B 
EVENT DATE" or a "CONVERSION DATE".  Upon receipt of a Type B Conversion 
Notice, the Company shall as soon as practicable deliver a copy of such Type 
B Conversion Notice to each holder of Series C Preferred Stock and each 
holder of Series B Preferred Stock.

    (c)  On the Type B Event Date, each share of Series C Preferred Stock 
then outstanding shall automatically be converted into such number of fully 
paid and non-assessable shares of Series D Preferred Stock as results from 
dividing (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate Liquidation Preference of such 
share of Series C Preferred Stock plus (B) any declared but unpaid dividends 
on such share, by (ii) the product of ten (10) times the applicable 
Conversion Price on the Conversion Date.  The person or persons entitled to 
receive the shares of Series D Preferred Stock upon conversion of such shares 
of Series C Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes (including 
without limitation voting rights) as having become the record holder or 
holders of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock on the Type B Event Date, 
whether or not such person or persons deliver its certificates for shares of 
Series C Preferred Stock to the Company on the Type B Event Date.  

                                       4
<PAGE>

    (d)  As soon as practicable after the Type B Event Date, each holder of 
Series C Preferred Stock shall deliver its certificates for shares of Series 
C Preferred Stock to the Company at its principal office.  Except as provided 
in this Certificate of Designation, all rights with respect to such Series C 
Preferred Stock shall terminate on the Type B Event Date, and on such Type B 
Event Date the holders of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into which 
the shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted shall have all of the 
rights accorded to holders of the Company's Series D Preferred Stock.

    (e)  The rights of holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant 
to this Section 6 shall not be transferable, except to an Affiliate as of the 
Initial Issue Date of the holder.

    SECTION 7.     GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO CONVERSION

    The following provisions shall be applicable to any conversion pursuant 
to either Section 5 or Section 6 hereof.

    (a)  As promptly as practicable after the surrender as hereinabove 
provided of certificates representing shares of Series C Preferred Stock 
converted or to be converted into shares of Common Stock or Series D 
Preferred Stock, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the 
holder, or the holder's designee, certificates representing the number of 
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred 
Stock into which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock are converted 
(including any adjustment pursuant to Section 8(b) below) and, if less than 
the entire number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented by the 
certificate or certificates surrendered is to be converted, a new certificate 
for the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock not so converted.  So 
long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the 
Company shall not close its Common Stock transfer books. The issuance of 
certificates representing shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock 
issued upon the conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be 
made without charge to the holder of Series C Preferred Stock for any tax in 
respect of the issuance of such certificates (other than any transfer, 
withholding or other tax if the shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred 
Stock are to be registered in a name different from that of the registered 
holder of Series C Preferred Stock).

    (b)  No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing 
fractional shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock shall be issued 
upon any conversion of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and the number 
of shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock to be issued shall be 
rounded up to a whole share.  

    (c)  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its 
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock, par value 
$.001 per share, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of shares 
of Series C Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and the issuance of 
Common Stock in respect of the Warrants and the Carlyle Warrants, the full 
number of whole shares of Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock then 
deliverable upon the conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 
Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding and the issuance of Common Stock in 
respect of the Warrants and the Carlyle Warrants.  The Company shall take at 
all times such corporate action as shall be

                                       5
<PAGE>

necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid 
and non-assessable shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock upon 
the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred 
Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6, and the 
issuance of Common Stock in respect of the Warrants and the Carlyle Warrants. 
 If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock 
or Series D Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion 
of all then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series 
C Preferred Stock and the issuance of Common Stock in respect of the Warrants 
and the GE Warrants, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available 
to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company shall forthwith 
take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but 
unissued shares of Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock to such numbers 
of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including but not limited 
to promptly calling and holding a meeting of the Company's stockholders, at 
which the Company's stockholders shall vote on a proposed amendment to the 
Certificate of Incorporation that would so increase the number of authorized 
shares of Common Stock or preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, as 
appropriate, a favorable vote for which amendment shall have been recommended 
to the Company's stockholders by the Board of Directors, pursuant to a duly 
and validly adopted resolution of the Board of Directors setting forth the 
amendment proposed and declaring its advisability, all in accordance with 
Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; and, in case of an 
increase in the number of authorized shares of such preferred stock, the 
Board of Directors shall promptly cause to become effective a certificate of 
increase pursuant to Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

    (d)  If any shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock to be 
reserved for the purpose of conversion of Series C Preferred Stock require 
registration or listing with, or approval of, any governmental authority, 
stock exchange, NASD Inc., Nasdaq or other regulatory body under any federal 
or state law, federal or state regulation, rule of NASD Inc., Nasdaq or 
otherwise, before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon 
conversion, the Company shall, in good faith and as expeditiously as 
practicable, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as 
the case may be.

    (e)  All shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock that may be 
issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock shall upon issuance by 
the Company be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from 
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

    (f)  In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders 
of any class of Capital Stock for the purpose of determining the holders 
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, any 
right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Capital 
Stock or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the 
Company shall mail to each holder of Series C Preferred Stock, at least 20 
days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on 
which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, 
distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, 
distribution or right. 

                                       6
<PAGE>

    (g) The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of 
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, 
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities or any 
other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of 
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at 
all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of 
this Section 7 and Sections 5, 6 and 8 and in the taking of all such action 
as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights 
of the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock against impairment 
of any kind.

    SECTION 8.     CONVERSION PRICE.  

    (a)  As used herein, the "Conversion Price" shall initially be $8.375 per 
share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as set forth below.  In order to 
prevent the dilution of the rights granted hereunder, the Conversion Price 
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 
8.

    (b)  If and whenever the Company issues or sells or, in accordance with 
Section 8(c), is deemed to have issued or sold, any share of Common Equity 
without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the 
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, the 
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such time shall immediately 
be reduced to the price determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the sum 
of (A) the number of shares of Common Equity outstanding immediately prior to 
such issuance multiplied by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior 
to such issuance, and (B) the consideration, if any, received by the Company 
upon such issuance, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Equity 
outstanding immediately after such issuance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
there shall be no adjustment to the Conversion Price with respect to (i) the 
granting of stock options to employees of the Company authorized but not 
granted as of the Initial Issue Date for an aggregate of up to 300,000 shares 
of Common Equity (as such number of shares is equitably adjusted for 
subsequent stock splits, reclassifications, stock combinations, stock 
dividends and recapitalizations), or (ii) the issuance upon exercise of up to 
300,000 shares of Common Equity (as such number of shares is equitably 
adjusted for subsequent stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and 
recapitalizations) in connection with the stock options described in clause 
(i) of this sentence.

    (c)  For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under 
Section 8(b) above, the following shall be applicable:

         (1)  CONSIDERATION.  If any Common Equity, Options or Convertible
    Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for
    cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the cash
    amount received by the Company therefor (which, in the case of any public
    offering of such securities for cash, shall not be reduced for any
    underwriters discount, and in no event shall be reduced by the amount of
    any reasonable expenses actually paid by the Company in connection
    therewith).  In case any Common Equity, Options or Convertible Securities
    are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the
    consideration other than cash received by

                                       7
<PAGE>

    the Company shall be the fair market value of such consideration.  In 
    case any Common Equity, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to 
    the owners of the other constituent entity in connection with any merger 
    in which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a constituent 
    entity, the amount of consideration for such Common Equity, Options or 
    Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be the fair market value of 
    such portion of the net assets and business of such other constituent 
    entity as is fairly attributable to such Common Equity, Options or 
    Convertible Securities, as the case may be.  The fair market value of any 
    consideration other than cash shall be determined jointly by the Company 
    and the Majority Holders.  If such parties are unable to reach agreement 
    within a reasonable period of time, such fair market value shall be 
    determined by an appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the 
    Majority Holders.  If such parties are unable to reach agreement within a 
    reasonable period of time, such fair market value shall be determined by 
    an appraiser reasonably selected by the Company and reasonably approved 
    by the Majority Holders.  The determination of such appraiser shall be 
    final and binding on the Company and the holders of the shares of Series 
    C Preferred Stock, and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be 
    paid by the Company, unless the fair market value determined by such 
    appraiser is less than five percent (5%) above the value proposed in 
    writing by the Company and rejected by the Majority Holders prior to the 
    selection of such appraiser, in which event the fees and expenses of such 
    appraiser shall be for the account of the holders of the then outstanding 
    shares of Series C Preferred Stock (on a pro rata basis).  

          (2) OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES.  In the case of the granting
    or sale of any Option or Convertible Security (whether or not at the time
    convertible, exercisable or exchangeable):

              (A)  the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Equity 
              deliverable, directly or indirectly, upon exercise of any 
              Option shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such 
              Option was granted and for a consideration equal to the (i) 
              consideration (determined in the manner provided in subsection 
              (1) above), if any, received by the Company upon the issuance 
              of such Option plus (ii) the minimum purchase price provided in 
              such Option for the Common Equity covered thereby, up to an 
              amount equal to the Conversion Price in effect at the time such 
              Option was granted;

              (B)  the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Equity 
              deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such 
              Convertible Security, or upon the exercise of any Option to 
              purchase or acquire any Convertible Security and the subsequent 
              conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to have been 
              issued at the time such Convertible Security was issued or such 
              Option was issued and for a consideration equal to the 
              consideration, if any, received by the Company for any such 
              Convertible Security and any related Option, plus the 
              additional consideration (determined in the manner provided in 
              subsection (1)

                                       8
<PAGE>

              above), if any, to be received by the Company upon the 
              conversion or exchange of such Convertible Security, or upon 
              the exercise of any related Option to purchase or acquire any 
              Convertible Security and the subsequent conversion or exchange 
              thereof;

              (C)  on any change in the number of shares of Common Equity 
              deliverable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion, exercise 
              or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or any 
              change in the consideration to be received by the Company upon 
              such exercise, conversion or exchange, including, but not 
              limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution 
              provisions thereof, the Conversion Price as then in effect 
              shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would 
              have been obtained had an adjustment been made upon the 
              issuance of such Option or Convertible Security upon the basis 
              of such change;

              (D)  if the Conversion Price shall have been adjusted upon the 
              issuance of any such Option or Convertible Security, no further 
              adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made for the actual 
              issuance of Common Equity upon any exercise, conversion, or 
              exchange thereof;

    provided, however, that none of the events set forth in Section 8(c)(2)(A)
    through 8(c)(2)(D), inclusive, shall result in any increase in the
    Conversion Price.

         (3)  INTEGRATED TRANSACTION.  In case any Option is issued in
    connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company,
    together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
    consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the
    Options shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.

         (4)  TREASURY SHARES.  The number of shares of Common Equity
    outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or
    for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned
    or held shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Equity.

         (5)  RECORD DATE.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of
    Common Equity for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend
    or other distribution payable in Common Equity, Options or in Convertible
    Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Equity, Options or
    Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the
    date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Equity deemed to have
    been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of
    such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of
    subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

    (d)  If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock
dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes
of its outstanding shares of Common Equity into a greater number of shares, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be
proportionately reduced.  If the Company at any time combines

                                       9
<PAGE>

(by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding 
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price 
in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately 
increased.

    (e)  Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, 
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's 
assets or other transaction, in each case which is effected in such a way 
that the holders of Common Equity are entitled to receive (either directly or 
upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, cash, debt instruments or 
assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Equity is referred to herein 
as a "CORPORATE CHANGE." In case of any Corporate Change, each share of 
Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding will become convertible only into 
the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon 
such Corporate Change by the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock 
into which such share of Series C Preferred Stock was convertible immediately 
prior thereto (assuming such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any 
rights of election).  The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, 
merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor 
entity (if other than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or 
the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument the 
obligation to deliver to the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock 
such shares of stock, securities, cash, debt instruments or assets as, in 
accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to 
acquire.

    (f)  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of 
this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, 
without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock 
rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company's Board of 
Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as 
to protect the rights of the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred 
Stock; provided that no such adjustment shall increase the Conversion Price 
obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8.

    (g)  If the Company declares or pays a dividend upon the Common Equity 
payable otherwise than out of earnings or earned surplus (determined in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently 
applied) except for a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock (a 
"LIQUIDATING DIVIDEND"), then the Company shall pay to each holder of a share 
of Series C Preferred Stock at the time of payment thereof the Liquidating 
Dividend which would have been paid to such holder on the Common Stock such 
holder would have owned had such holder fully exercised its right to convert 
the shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock 
immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Liquidating 
Dividend, or, if no record is taken, the date as of which the record holders 
of Common Equity entitled to such dividends are to be determined; provided, 
however, that if a Liquidating Dividend would involve the declaration or 
payment as a dividend of at least the lesser of (i) twenty percent (20%) of 
the Company's assets and (ii) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), then such 
Liquidating Dividend shall, at the option of the Majority Holders, be deemed 
to be a Liquidating Event and the rights of the holders of the shares of 
Series C Preferred Stock upon such Liquidating Event shall be governed by 
Section 4 hereof.

                                       10
<PAGE>

    (h)  Any transaction approved by the unanimous vote of the Acquisitions 
Committee or the unanimous vote of the Board pursuant to Section 10(c)(4) 
hereof shall not result in any adjustment to the Conversion Price in effect 
as of the closing of such transaction. 

    SECTION 9.     NO REDEMPTION.  

         The shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be subject to 
mandatory redemption by the Company.

    SECTION 10.    VOTING RIGHTS AND RELATED PROVISIONS.

    (a)  The Holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock will have the 
right to vote with the holders of Common Stock and the holders of the Series 
B Preferred Stock with respect to all matters submitted to a shareholder 
vote, except for the election of directors, which will be governed by Section 
10(b) below.  Each Holder of Series C Preferred Stock will have one vote for 
every share of Common Stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock 
is convertible pursuant to Sections 5 and 7 hereof as of the record date for 
such vote; provided, however, that the aggregate number of votes under this 
Section 10(a), when combined with the aggregate number of votes attributable 
to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 10(a) of 
the Certificate of Designation with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock, 
with respect to any given matter submitted to a shareholder vote, shall not 
exceed 37% of the total number of votes eligible to be cast with respect to 
such matter (the "AGGREGATE VOTING LIMITATION").  In order to effectuate the 
Aggregate Voting Limitation, the eligible votes allocable to each holder of 
shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be 
reduced, on a pro rata basis based on the percentage of aggregate Series B 
Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock liquidation preference 
attributable to the shares owned by such holder, to the highest whole number 
consistent with the Aggregate Voting Limitation.  Any shares of Series B 
Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock held by the Company or any 
Subsidiary of the Company shall not have voting rights hereunder and shall 
not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum or in calculating any 
percentage of shares under this Section 10.

    (b)  The provisions set forth in this Section 10(b) shall govern the 
rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock to elect directors of 
the Company:

         (1)  SERIES C DIRECTOR; JOINT DIRECTOR.  

              (A)  The number of directors of the Company shall be as from time
    to time fixed by, or determined in the manner provided in, the Certificate
    of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company (subject, in all respects,
    to the protective provisions contained in Section 11 hereof).  Prior to a
    Type B Event Date, the number of directors shall be no less than eight (8)
    nor more than nine (9), of which one member shall be the Joint Director. 
    One such director shall be designated as "SERIES C DIRECTOR" and shall be
    elected by the Majority Holders and one such director shall be designated
    as "JOINT DIRECTOR" and shall be an Independent director nominated by the
    Majority Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Majority Holders
    of the Series C Preferred Stock,

                                       11
<PAGE>

    approved by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.  Unless a Type 
    B Conversion Notice has been given, the Series C Director shall 
    automatically be removed if the aggregate liquidation preference with 
    respect to the Series C Preferred Stock owned by the Initial Purchaser 
    and any Affiliate as of the Initial Issue Date of the Initial Purchaser, 
    taken as a whole, falls below 25% of the total liquidation preference of 
    the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and shares of Series A Preferred 
    Stock outstanding on the Initial Issue Date.  Prior to a Type B Event 
    Date, the Majority Holders shall have the exclusive right to remove such 
    Series C Director without cause at any time and to designate another 
    person as the Series C Director.

         (B)  The Preferred Stock Directors shall be divided into three (3)
    classes as nearly equal in number as possible, with the term of office of
    the first Preferred Stock Director to be nominated and elected by the
    holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, at their option at any time after
    the initial issuance of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, to expire
    at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 1998, the term of office of
    the second Preferred Stock Director to be nominated and elected by the
    holders of the Series B Preferred Stock upon initial issuance of the shares
    of Series B Preferred Stock to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders
    held in 2000, the term of office of the Preferred Stock Director to be
    nominated and elected by the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock upon
    initial issuance of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to expire at the
    annual meeting of stockholders held in 1999, and the term of office of the
    Joint Director to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders held in
    1997.  At each annual meeting of stockholders after such initial
    classification and election, directors elected to succeed those directors
    whose terms expire at such annual meeting shall be elected for a term of
    office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders
    after their election. 

              (C)  Upon a Type B Event Date, any Series C Director already
    serving as a member of the Board shall continue to serve in such position
    until the expiration of his term and the election of his successor or until
    his earlier death, removal, resignation or retirement. After a Type B Event
    Date, the Joint Director and the Series C Director shall be subject to
    removal only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of eighty percent
    (80%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of the
    Corporation entitled to vote.  The Preferred Stock Directors and the Joint
    Director shall not be removed without cause otherwise than as described in
    this Section 10(b)(1). 

              (D)  After a Type B Event Date, the Board of Directors shall
    comprise:  (i) one Joint Director, until the expiration of his term, as
    provided herein; (ii) three Preferred Stock Directors, until the expiration
    of their respective terms, after which time such positions previously
    elected by holders of the series of Preferred Stock that gave the Type B
    Conversion Notice shall be subject to election by holders of shares of
    Series D Preferred Stock, subject to the limitations contained in the
    Series D Certificate of Designation; (iii) not less than four (4) nor more
    than five (5) additional directors elected by holders of shares of Common
    Equity and Series D Preferred Stock, subject to the limitations contained
    in the Series D Certificate of Designation; and (iv) such number of other
    directors (the "CONVERSION DIRECTORS") elected following a Type B Event
    Date by

                                       12
<PAGE>

    the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock as is determined 
    pursuant to the Series D Certificate of Designation.  

         (2)  With respect to filling the vacancy on the Board of Directors
    with respect to the initial Joint Director, the holders of shares of Series
    B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall give written notice to
    the Secretary of the Company of the identity of the person nominated by
    such holders.  Such written notice shall be executed, manually, or by
    photocopy or facsimile, in any number of counterparts, by the Majority
    Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and by the Majority Holders of the
    Series C Preferred Stock.  The person so nominated shall be "independent,"
    which means that such person shall not be a director, officer, or employee
    or affiliate (as defined in Section 203(c) of the Delaware General
    Corporation Law) of any of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock or
    Series C Preferred Stock or of the Company.  Upon receipt of such written
    notice, the Board of Directors shall have ten (10) business days in which
    to approve or disapprove such nominee.  If the Board of Directors approves
    such nominee, such nominee shall immediately fill such vacancy.  If the
    Board of Directors disapproves such nominee, the Secretary of the Company
    shall immediately give written notice thereof to all of the holders of
    shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock.  If such a
    written notice from the Secretary has not been received by such holders
    twelve (12) business days after the receipt by the Company of such written
    notice of nomination, then the Board of Directors shall be conclusively
    deemed to have approved such nominee and such nominee shall immediately
    fill such vacancy.  If such written notice from the Secretary has been so
    received within such twelve (12) business days, such holders may nominate
    another independent person by written notice to the Secretary, subject to
    the same approval process as hereinabove provided.  Such process of
    nomination and approval or disapproval shall continue until an independent
    person is nominated who is approved or deemed to be approved by the Board
    of Directors.  No nominations for such director shall be made or received
    other than as described in this Section 10(b)(2).  

         (3)  With respect to the nomination and election of succeeding Joint
    Directors, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
    Preferred Stock shall give timely written notice to the Secretary of the
    Company of the identity of the person nominated by such holders.  Such
    written notice shall be executed, manually, or by photocopy or facsimile,
    in any number of counterparts, by the Majority Holders of the Series B
    Preferred Stock and by the Majority Holders of the Series C Preferred
    Stock.  Such written notice shall be timely if received at the principal
    executive office of the Company not less than 60 days nor more than 120
    days before the meeting of shareholders at which such director is to be
    elected.  The person so nominated shall be "independent," which means that
    such person shall not be a director, officer, employee or affiliate (as
    defined in Section 203(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law) of any
    of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or
    the Company.  Upon receipt of such written notice, the Board of Directors
    shall have ten (10) business days in which to approve or disapprove such
    nominee.  If the Board of Directors disapproves such nominee, the Secretary
    of the Company shall immediately give written

                                       13
<PAGE>

    notice thereof to all of the holders of shares of Series B Preferred 
    Stock and Series C Preferred Stock. If such a written notice from the 
    Secretary has not been received by such holders twelve (12) business days 
    after the receipt by the Company of such written notice of nomination, 
    then the Board of Directors shall be conclusively deemed to have approved 
    such nominee.  If such written notice from the Secretary has been so 
    received within such twelve (12) business days, such holders may nominate 
    another independent person by written notice to the Secretary, subject to 
    the same approval process as hereinabove provided.  Such process of 
    nomination and approval or disapproval shall continue until an 
    independent person is nominated who is approved or deemed to be approved 
    by the Board of Directors.  No nominations for such director shall be 
    made or received other than as described in this Section 10(b)(3).  
    Election of such person shall be by the holders of shares of the 
    Company's Common Stock.

         (4)  Prior to a Type B Event Date, a vacancy of a Preferred Stock
    Director position shall be filled only by a majority vote of or written
    consent of holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the
    series of Preferred Stock that elected the director whose death,
    resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office caused the
    vacancy.  Prior to a Type B Event Date, a vacancy of the position of Joint
    Director shall be filled only by the Board of Directors, following
    nomination by holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of
    Series B Preferred Stock and holders of a majority of the then outstanding
    shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, pursuant to the procedure described
    in Section 10(b)(2).  Directors chosen pursuant to any of the foregoing
    provisions shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
    stockholders at which the term of the class to which they have been elected
    expires and until their successors are duly elected and have qualified or
    until their earlier resignation or removal.  If holders of shares of Series
    C Preferred Stock shall, pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, but
    not as a result of a Type B Conversion, cease to have the right to elect
    any Preferred Stock Directors, then the director elected by holders of
    shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have resigned
    immediately upon such cessation.  Upon the occurrence of any such deemed
    resignation referred to in the immediately preceding two sentences, the
    directorship previously held by the director deemed to have resigned shall
    automatically become a vacancy to be filled by the Board of Directors.

         (5)  Shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be shares
    "entitled to vote" or entitled to vote in the election of directors for
    purposes of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation that employ
    such terms, and, for purposes of such provisions at any time, each
    outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock shall count as such number of
    shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series C Preferred Stock is
    then convertible pursuant to Sections 5 and 7 hereof (subject to the
    percentage limitation set forth in Section 10(a) hereof as such percentage
    limitation would otherwise apply pursuant to such Section 10(a)).

    (c)  Immediately following the initial issuance of shares of Series B 
Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors shall appoint the following 
committees of the Board of Directors with the

                                       14
<PAGE>

respective duties, membership and voting requirements stated below.  After 
such appointment and until a Type B Event Date, the following matters shall 
be deemed approved by the Board of Directors only upon receiving the 
affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors and a majority of 
the directors elected by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the 
Series C Preferred Stock: (A) a decision to eliminate or discharge the Audit 
Committee, Compensation Committee, Executive Committee or the Acquisitions 
Committee, as described more fully below (such committees are the 
"COMMITTEES"), (B) a decision to reduce, narrow, attenuate or otherwise 
weaken the delegation of powers by the Board of Directors to any of the 
Committees, unless such reduction, narrowing, attenuation or other weakening 
is the transfer of delegated powers from the Compensation Committee or the 
Acquisitions Committee to the Executive Committee, (C) a decision to change 
the number of members of any Committee, the identity of the persons or 
entities entitled to select each of the members of any Committee, the size of 
the required vote for approval by any Committee and the size of the required 
vote of the Board of Directors necessary to approve actions that failed to 
obtain the required approval vote on the appropriate Committee; and (D) a 
decision to create any new committee.  If the holders of the Series C 
Preferred Stock shall cease to have the right to nominate and elect any 
director at all, otherwise than as a result of the conversion of their shares 
of Series C Preferred Stock in a Type B Conversion, then such holders shall 
no longer have the right to select any member of any of the committees set 
forth below and the member or members of such committees selected by such 
holders shall automatically cease to be a member or members of such 
committees.

         (1)  COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.  The Compensation Committee shall
    consist of three (3) members, at least one (1) of whom shall be
    selected jointly by the Series C Director and directors elected by
    holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (the "SERIES B DIRECTORS"),
    and who shall be a director.  An affirmative vote of at least two (2)
    members of the Compensation Committee shall be required for approval
    of matters considered by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation
    Committee shall ensure that the representative on the Compensation
    Committee nominated by the Series B Directors and the Series C
    Director receive adequate notice of and an opportunity to participate
    in any meetings of the Compensation Committee;

         (2)  AUDIT COMMITTEE.  The Audit Committee shall consist of three
    (3) directors, including as many Independent directors as are
    available, not to exceed three (3).  An affirmative vote of at least
    two (2) members of the Audit Committee shall be required for approval
    of matters considered by the Audit Committee.

         (3)  EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.  The Executive Committee shall consist
    of four (4) members, one (1) of whom shall be the Series C Director,
    one (1) of whom shall be selected by the Series B Directors (and shall
    be a Series B Director) and two (2) of whom shall be selected by the
    Board of Directors (and shall be directors).  The members selected by
    the Series B Directors and the Series C Director may be removed only
    by the Series B Directors and the Series C Director, respectively. 
    The Executive Committee shall, in addition to the customary duties of
    an executive committee, have the right to approve any

                                       15
<PAGE>

    financing activity, including but not limited to the Capital Budget Plan. 
    An affirmative vote of at least three (3) members of the Executive 
    Committee shall be required for approval of any matters considered by the 
    Executive Committee.  Each financing activity not approved by the 
    Executive Committee may be referred to the Board of Directors for 
    approval, which approval shall require a Supermajority Vote; and

         (4)  ACQUISITIONS COMMITTEE.  The Acquisitions Committee shall
    consist of four (4) members, one (1) of whom shall be the Series C
    Director, one (1) of whom shall be selected by the Series B Directors
    (and shall be a Series B Director), and two (2) of whom shall be
    selected by the Board of Directors (and shall be directors).  The
    Acquisitions Committee shall have the right to approve any transaction
    of the types described in Section 11(n), (o), (p) and (q) with respect
    to which transaction the aggregate consideration payable in connection
    with such transaction (including, without limitation, cash
    consideration, the fair market value of any securities and the net
    present value of any deferred consideration) is less than $15 million. 
    A unanimous vote of the Acquisitions Committee shall be required for
    approval of any matters considered by the Acquisitions Committee. 
    Except as described in Section 10(d)(5) below, each matter considered
    but not unanimously approved by the Acquisitions Committee may be
    referred to the Board of Directors for approval, which approval shall
    require a majority vote of the Board of Directors.  

         (5)  CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.  The unanimous approval of the
    Acquisitions Committee or the unanimous approval of the Board of
    Directors shall be required before the Company or any of its
    Subsidiaries engage in a transaction of the types described in Section
    11(n), (o) (which, only for purposes of this clause, shall also apply
    to Capital Expenditures made by the Company in the ordinary course of
    business), (p) and (q), in which transaction: (A) the aggregate
    consideration payable in connection with such transaction (including,
    without limitation, cash consideration, the fair market value of any
    securities and the net present value of any deferred consideration) is
    less than $15 million; and (B) the Company is to issue its Common
    Equity at an implicit or explicit price of less than $8.375 per share. 
    Such implicit price shall be determined in an appraisal approved
    unanimously by the Acquisitions Committee or unanimously by the Board
    of Directors, such appraisal to be performed by an independent
    appraiser selected unanimously by the Acquisitions Committee or
    unanimously by the Board of Directors.

    (d)  Prior to a Type B Event Date, the following matters shall be deemed
approved by the Board of Directors only upon a Supermajority Vote in respect of
any such matter:

         (A)  Approving the annual Capital Budget Plan; and

                                       16
<PAGE>

         (B)  Approving the Company entering into any financing activity
    not approved by the Executive Committee.

    (e)  The bylaws of the Company may be altered, amended, or repealed or new
bylaws may be adopted by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors at any
regular or special meeting of the stockholders or the Board of Directors, but
only if such alteration, amendment, repeal, or adoption has been approved: 

         (1)  in case of adoption by the Board of Directors prior to the First
Meeting following a Type B Event Date, by a majority of the Preferred Stock
Directors and either (A) a majority of the entire Board of Directors (if such
alteration, amendment, repeal, or adoption does not increase the number of
directors) or (B) by at least 80% of the members of the entire Board of
Directors (if such alteration, amendment, repeal, or adoption does increase the
number of directors); 

         (2)  in case of adoption by the stockholders at any meeting of
stockholders (other than the First Meeting following a Type B Event Date) with a
record date on or prior to a Type B Event Date, by holders of at least eighty
percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote in
the election of directors, voting as one class, and by holders of a majority of
the shares, outstanding as of such record date, of whichever (or both) of Series
B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock continued (as of such record
date) to have the right under the certificate of incorporation to elect one or
more Preferred Stock Directors.

    (f)  If a Type B Event Date occurs prior to October 14, 1999, then the
following provisions shall apply:

         (1)  From such Type B Event Date until the second subsequent annual
    stockholders meeting of the Company after such Type B Event Date, none of
    the following actions or transactions shall be effected by the Company or
    approved by the Company as a stockholder of any Subsidiary of the Company,
    and neither the Initial Purchaser nor any other holder of shares of
    Series D Preferred Stock (other than a holder pursuant to either a transfer
    permitted under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or a
    transfer pursuant to a registered offering under registration rights from
    the Company) shall engage in, or be a party to, any of the following
    actions or transactions involving the Company or any Subsidiary of the
    Company, if, as of the record date for the determination of the
    stockholders entitled to vote thereon, or consent thereto, any other Person
    which obtained its equity interest in the Company as a result of a transfer
    of securities from the Initial Purchaser or any other Person referred to in
    clauses (A) through (D) of this sentence beneficially owns or controls,

    SECTION 15.    PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

    (a)  Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 15, the

right of first offer with respect to future sales in any transaction or proposed
transaction not involving a public offering by the Company of its shares of
Common Equity or any securities convertible or exchangeable, directly or
indirectly, into Common Equity (collectively, "PREEMPTIVE SECURITIES").  
Preemptive Securities shall include, without limitation, all shares of Common
Stock and all Convertible Securities.  

    (b)  Each time the Company proposes to offer any Preemptive Securities in a
transaction not involving a public offering of such Preemptive Securities, the
Company shall first make an offering of such Preemptive Securities to each
holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the following
provisions:

         (1)  The Company shall deliver a notice by certified mail (the
    "PREEMPTIVE NOTICE") to each holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
    stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer Preemptive Securities, (ii)
    the number of such Preemptive Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price
    and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Preemptive
    Securities.  In addition, the Preemptive Notice will contain all other
    information which would be provided to prospective purchasers with respect
    to the proposed offering.

         (2)  With respect to any Type A Offering of Preemptive Securities, by
    written notification given by each holder of shares of Series C Preferred
    Stock within 15 Business Days from the date of the Preemptive Notice, each
    holder may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms
    specified in the Preemptive Notice, up to that portion of such Preemptive
    Securities which equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common
    Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock
    then held by such holder bears to the total number of shares of Common
    Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion of all
    convertible securities, including without limitation the Series A Preferred
    Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock). 

         (3)  With respect to any Type B Offering of Preemptive Securities, by
    written notification given by each holder of shares of Series C Preferred
    Stock within 15 Business Days from the date of the Preemptive Notice, each
    holder may elect to purchase

                                       23
<PAGE>

    or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Preemptive 
    Notice, up to that portion of such Preemptive Securities which equals the 
    proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon 
    conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then held by such 
    holder bears to the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into 
    which the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the 
    outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock are then convertible.  

         (4)  If any of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock decline to
    exercise any right of refusal with respect to any offering to such holders
    of Series B Preferred Stock of any Preemptive Securities, such holders (the
    "DECLINING SERIES B HOLDERS") shall give written notification of such
    election to decline to exercise such rights to the Company within 15
    Business Days from the date of the Preemptive Notice.  Within 3 Business
    Days thereafter, the Company shall give written notification (the "DECLINED
    PREEMPTIVE SECURITIES NOTICE") to each holder of Series C Preferred Stock
    of the following: (i) the total number of shares of Preemptive Securities
    which the Declining Series C Holders declined to purchase (collectively,
    the "DECLINED PREEMPTIVE SECURITIES"), and (ii) the price and terms
    specified in the Preemptive Notice relating to such Declined Preemptive
    Securities.

         (5)  By written notification given by each holder of shares of Series
    C Preferred Stock within 3 Business Days from the date of the Declined
    Preemptive Securities Notice, each holder of Series C Preferred Stock may
    elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified by the
    Company for such sale of such Preemptive Securities, such Declined
    Preemptive Securities at the price and on the terms specified in the
    Preemptive Notice; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the total number of Declined
    Preemptive Securities so elected to be purchased by such holders of Series
    C Preferred Stock pursuant hereto (collectively, the "ELECTING HOLDERS")
    exceeds the total number of Declined Preemptive Securities, each such
    Electing Holder shall purchase, and the Company shall sell to such Electing
    Holder, that portion of the total number of Declined Preemptive Securities
    which equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock
    issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then
    held by such holder bears to the number of shares of Common Stock of the
    Company into which the outstanding shares of all Electing Holders are then
    convertible.  

         (6)  If all Preemptive Securities referred to in any Preemptive Notice
    are not elected to be obtained as provided in Section 15(b)(2) or 15(b)(3),
    or Section 15(b)(4) or 15(b)(5), as applicable, the Company may, at any
    time after the latest date set forth above for the exercise of the right to
    purchase any such Preemptive Securities by any holder of Series C Preferred
    Stock (the "PREEMPTIVE RIGHT EXPIRATION DATE") to the date sixty (60) days
    from the Preemptive Right Expiration Date offer the remaining unsubscribed
    portion of such Preemptive Securities to any Person or Persons at a price
    equal to the price specified in the relevant Preemptive Notice.  If the
    Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Preemptive
    Securities within sixty (60) days after the Preemptive Right Expiration
    Date, or if such agreement is not consummated within ninety (90) days of
    the Preemptive Right Expiration Date, the right provided under this

                                       24
<PAGE>

    Section 15 shall be deemed to be revived and such Preemptive Securities 
    shall not be offered unless first reoffered to each holder of shares of 
    Series C Preferred Stock in accordance herewith.

         (7)  The rights set forth in this Section 15 shall not be applicable
    to the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Options
    approved by the Board to officers, directors and employees of the Company
    for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their employment or
    services.

                  CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS
                       OF CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES D

                (Pursuant to Section 151(g) of the General Corporation
                            Law of the State of Delaware.)

    InSight Health Services Corp., a corporation organized and existing under 
the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter the "Company"), DOES HEREBY 
CERTIFY THAT, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of 
the Company (the "Board") by the certificate of incorporation of the Company, 
as amended, the Board unanimously adopted the following resolutions on 
October 14, 1997 authorizing the issuance of the Series D Convertible 
Preferred Stock of the Company, which resolutions are still in full force and 
effect and are not in conflict with any provisions of the certificate of 
incorporation or bylaws of the Company: 

    RESOLVED, that pursuant to authority vested in the Board by the 
Certificate of Incorporation, the Board does hereby establish a series of 
preferred stock of the Company from the Company's authorized class of 
3,500,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred shares, such series to consist 
of 632,266 shares, and does hereby fix and state the voting rights, 
designation, powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or 
other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions 
thereof, as follows:

    SECTION 1.     DESIGNATION.  

    The Preferred Stock created and authorized hereby shall be designated as 
the "Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D" (hereinafter called the "SERIES D 
PREFERRED STOCK").  The number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be 
632,266 and no more, provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the

    (a)  Upon any Liquidating Event with respect to the Company, the Holders

be paid, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its 
stockholders, $.001 per share of Series D Preferred Stock (the "LIQUIDATION

limitation, Common Stock.  In addition, holders of shares of Series D 
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive any distribution in the event of 
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company pari 
passu with shares of Common Stock, on a pro rata basis (assuming full

<PAGE>

liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the 
Series D Preferred Stock and all Parity Securities, then the holders of all 
such shares shall share equally and ratably in such distribution of assets of 
the Company in accordance with the amounts which would be payable on such 
distribution if the amount to which the holders of outstanding shares of 
Series D Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of all Parity 
Securities are entitled were paid in full.

    SECTION 6.     GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO CONVERSION

    The following provisions shall be applicable to any conversion pursuant 
to Section 5 hereof.

    (a)  As promptly as practicable after the surrender as hereinabove 
provided of certificates representing shares of Series D Preferred Stock 
converted or to be converted into shares of Common Stock, the Company shall 
deliver or cause to be delivered to the holder, or the holder's designee, 
certificates representing the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares 
of Common Stock into which the shares of Series D Preferred Stock are 
converted, and, if less than the entire number of shares of Series D 
Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered is 
to be converted, a new certificate for the number of shares of Series D 
Preferred Stock not so converted.  So long as any shares of Series D 
Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not close its Common 
Stock transfer books.  The issuance of certificates representing shares of 
Common Stock issued upon the conversion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock 
shall be made without charge to the holder of Series D Preferred Stock for 
any tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates (other than any 
transfer, withholding or other tax if the shares of Common Stock are to be

to be issued shall be rounded up to a whole share.  

    (c)  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its 
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of

times such corporate action as shall be necessary in order that the Company 
may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common 
Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the 
exercise of the then outstanding Warrants and GE Warrants.  If at any time 
the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be 
sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the 
Series D Preferred Stock and the exercise of all the then outstanding 
Warrants and GE Warrants, in addition to such other remedies as shall be 
available to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred 
Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock, the Company shall forthwith take such 
corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued 
shares of Common Stock to such numbers of shares as shall be sufficient for

or approval of, any governmental authority, stock exchange, NASD, Inc., 
Nasdaq or other regulatory body under any federal or state law, federal or 
state regulation, rule of NASD, Inc., Nasdaq or otherwise, before such shares 
may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Company shall, in 
good faith and as expeditiously as practicable, endeavor to secure such 
registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

    (e)  All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the 
Series D Preferred Stock shall upon issuance by the Company be validly 
issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and 
charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

    (f)  In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders 
of any class of Capital Stock for the purpose of determining the holders 
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, any 
right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Capital 
Stock or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the 
Company shall mail to each holder of Series D Preferred Stock, at least 20 
days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on 
which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, 
distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, 
distribution or right. 

    (g)  The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of 
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, 
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities or any 
other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of 
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at 
all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of 
this Section 6 and Sections 5 and 7 and in the taking of all such action as 
may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of 
the holders of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock against impairment of 
any kind.

    SECTION 7.     CONVERSION MULTIPLE.  

    (a)  As used herein, the "CONVERSION MULTIPLE" shall initially be ten 
(10), subject to adjustment as set forth below.  

    (b)  If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock 
dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more 
classes or series of its outstanding shares of Common Equity into a greater 
number of shares, the Conversion Multiple in effect immediately prior to such 
subdivision shall be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time 
combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes or series 
of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, 
the Conversion Multiple in effect immediately prior to such combination shall 
be proportionately decreased.

                                       5
<PAGE>

    (c)  Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, 
consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's 
assets or other transaction, in each case which is effected in such a way 
that the holders of Common Equity are entitled to receive (either directly or 
upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, cash, debt instruments or 
assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Equity is referred to herein 
as a "CORPORATE CHANGE." In case of any Corporate Change, each share of 
Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding will become convertible only into 
the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon 
such Corporate Change by the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock 
into which such share of Series D Preferred Stock was convertible immediately 
prior thereto (assuming such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any 
rights of election).  The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, 
merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor 
entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or 
merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument the 
obligation to deliver to the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock 
such shares of stock, securities, cash, debt instruments or assets as, in 
accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to 
acquire.

    (d)  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of 
this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the 
Company's Board of Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment in the 
Conversion Multiple so as to protect the rights of the holders of the shares 
of Series D Preferred Stock; provided that no such adjustment shall decrease 
the Conversion Multiple obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this 
Section 7.

    (e)  If the Company declares or pays a dividend upon the Common Equity 
payable otherwise than out of earnings or earned surplus (determined in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently 
applied) except for a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock (a 
"LIQUIDATING DIVIDEND"), then the Company shall pay to each holder of a share 
of Series D Preferred Stock at the time of payment thereof the Liquidating 
Dividend which would have been paid to such holder on the Common Stock such 
holder would have owned had such holder fully exercised its right to convert 
the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock 
immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Liquidating 
Dividend, or, if no record is taken, the date as of which the record holders 
of Common Equity entitled to such dividends are to be determined.

    SECTION 8.     NO REDEMPTION.  

         The shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be subject to 
mandatory redemption by the Company.

    SECTION 9.     VOTING RIGHTS AND RELATED PROVISIONS.

    (a)  Shares of Series D Preferred Stock (i) shall only be issuable to 
holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock 
and (ii) shall only be issuable upon the terms and conditions set forth in 
the Series B Certificate of Designation and Series C Certificate of 
Designation. The holders of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall have 
the right to vote with the holders of Common Stock with respect to all 
matters submitted to a shareholder vote (except for the election of 
directors, which will be governed by Sections 9(b) through 9(f)

                                       6
<PAGE>

below), with each share of Series D Preferred Stock having the number of 
votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of 
Series D Preferred Stock then is convertible.

    (b)  Upon a Type B Event Date, without any action on the part of the 
Company or the Board, the number of members of the Board shall be increased 
automatically by the smallest whole number that will result in at least the 
Type B Percentage (but less than 66 2/3%) of the members of the Board being 
Series D Directors.  Immediately following such Type B Event Date, the 
holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect all of such 
number of new directors (the "CONVERSION DIRECTORS"), such election to occur 
pursuant to the Series D Selection Procedure.  The Conversion Directors shall 
immediately upon such election become members of the Board of Directors as 
Series D Directors. The term of the Conversion Directors shall run until the 
third annual meeting of stockholders following the Type B Event Date.  
"SERIES D DIRECTORS" shall mean, collectively, any Preferred Stock Directors 
and any Conversion Directors.  After a Type B Event Date and until the 
expiration of the terms of office of directors serving as members of the 
board of directors immediately prior to the second annual meeting of 
stockholders following a Type B Event Date, the board of directors shall 
comprise:  (i) one Joint Director; (ii) three Preferred Stock Directors; 
(iii) not less than four (4) nor more than five (5) additional directors 
elected by holders of shares of Common Equity and (iv) the Conversion 
Directors.  At and after the second annual meeting of stockholders after the 
Type B Event Date, upon expiration of the term of any director, such position 
shall be subject to election by holders of shares of Common Stock and Series 
D Preferred Stock, voting as a class, with each share of Series D Preferred 
Stock having the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common 
Stock into which such share of Series D Preferred Stock then is convertible; 
the directors so elected shall not be designated as to series or class of 
Capital Stock.  Upon the expiration of the terms of the Conversion Directors, 
their successors shall be classified  into three (3) classes as nearly equal 
in number as possible, with appropriate terms of office. 

    (c)  Immediately following a Type B Event Date, any Preferred Stock 
Director already serving as a member of the Board shall continue to serve in 
such position until the expiration of his term and the election and 
qualification of a successor, or until his earlier death, resignation or 
retirement.  Any vacancy, for any reason, in the position of a Series D 
Director prior to the second annual meeting of stockholders after a Type B 
Event Date, shall be filled by majority vote of the Series D Directors then 
serving.  Until the second annual meeting following a Type B Event Date, 
election of Series D Directors to succeed those whose terms expire prior to 
such second annual meeting shall be solely by holders of the Series D 
Preferred Stock, and shall follow the Series D Selection Procedure.  A Series 
D Director may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of Series D 
Preferred Stock, in compliance with the requirements of Section 141(k)(2) of 
the Delaware General Corporation Law.  A Series D Director shall not be 
removed, with or without cause, otherwise than as described in this Section 
9(c). 

    (d)  Until the second annual meeting after the Type B Event Date, upon 
expiration of the term of the Joint Director, such position shall be subject 
to nomination, approval by the board of directors and election by the holders 
of Common Stock in the same fashion as provided in the Series B and C 
Certificates of Designation for the period before a Type B Event Date, except 
that

                                       7
<PAGE>

until the second annual meeting after the Type B Event Date, such nomination 
shall be by holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series D 
Preferred Stock.  Until the second annual meeting after the Type B Event 
Date, any vacancy in the position of Joint Director shall be filled in the 
same fashion as provided in the Series B and C Certificates of Designation 
for the period before a Type B Event Date.

    (e)  Until the second annual meeting after the Type B Event Date, upon 
expiration of the term of any director who is neither a Series D Director nor 
the Joint Director, such position shall be subject to election by holders of 
shares of Common Stock only.

    (f)  Shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be shares 
"entitled to vote" or entitled to vote in the election of directors" for 
purposes of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation that employ 
such terms, and, for purposes of such provisions at any time, each 
outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock shall count as such number of 
shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series D Preferred Stock is 
then convertible pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 hereof.

    (g)  If a Type B Event Date occurs prior to October 14, 1999, then the 
following provisions shall apply:

         (1)  From such Type B Event Date until the second subsequent annual
    stockholders meeting of the Company after such Type B Event Date, none of
    the following actions or transactions shall be effected by the Company or
    approved by the Company as a stockholder of any Subsidiary of the Company,
    and neither the Initial Purchaser nor any other holder of shares of
    Series D Preferred Stock (other than a holder pursuant to either a transfer
    permitted under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or a
    transfer pursuant to a registered offer under registration rights from the
    Company) shall engage in, or be a party to, any of the following actions or
    transactions involving the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, if, as
    of the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to
    vote thereon, or consent thereto, any other Person which obtained its
    equity interest in the Company as a result of a transfer of securities from
    the Initial Purchaser or any other Person referred to in clauses (A)
    through (D) of this sentence beneficially owns or controls, directly or
    indirectly, five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding shares of the
    Company entitled to vote:

              (A)  any merger or consolidation of the Company or any of its
         Subsidiaries with or into such other Person;

              (B)  any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any
         substantial part of the assets of the Company or any of its
         Subsidiaries to such other Person;

              (C)  the issuance or delivery of any voting securities of the
         Company or any of its Subsidiaries to such other Person in exchange
         for cash, other assets or securities, or a combination thereof; or

                                       8
<PAGE>

              (D)  any dissolution or liquidation of the Company;

    PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such prohibition shall not apply with respect to
    any such action or transaction approved by (I) the affirmative vote of not
    less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of the Company
    entitled to vote or (II) at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors of the
    Company (which must include either (i) the Joint Director, if either (x)
    such Joint Director served in such position as of the Type B Event Date of

    who were Common Stock Directors as of the Type B Event Date or (ii) at
    least one director who was a Common Stock Director prior to the Type B
    Event Date, unless neither the Joint Director, nor any of such Common Stock
    Directors continue to serve on the Board of Directors at such time).  For
    purposes of this Section 9(g) a Person shall be deemed to own or control,
    directly or indirectly, any outstanding shares of stock of the Company (A)
    which it has the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement, or upon the
    exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, or (B)
    which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly (including shares
    deemed owned through application of clause (A) above), by any other

    stock of the Company or (y) which is its "affiliate" or "associate" as

    amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

No transfer of Series D Preferred Stock may be made by a Person who obtained 
shares of Series D Preferred Stock upon conversion of Series B Preferred 
Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, unless prior thereto, the transferee in 
such transfer shall have entered into an agreement in form and substance 
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, agreeing to be bound by the terms of 
this Section 9(g).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in 
this Section 9(g), such Person shall not need any approval by any directors, 
the Board of Directors or any stockholders under this Section 9 in order to 
transfer, sell or assign any of its Series D Conversion Shares in any of the 
following transactions (i) a transfer to an Initial Purchaser Affiliate (as 
defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation) or an Affiliate of the

bound by the terms of this Section 9(g); (ii) a transfer permitted under Rule 
144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; or (iii) a transfer

waiver of notice, in person or by proxy.

    2.5  VOTING LIST.  At least ten (10) days before each meeting of 
stockholders, the Secretary or other officer of the Corporation who has 
charge of the Corporation's stock ledger, either directly or through another

of Directors, shall prepare a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote 
thereat, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each 
stockholder and number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. 
For a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, such list shall be kept 
on file at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which 
place shall be specified in the notice of meeting or a duly executed waiver 
of notice of such meeting or, if not so specified, at the place where the 
meeting is to be held and shall be open to examination by any stockholder 
during ordinary business hours.  Such list shall be produced at such meeting 
and kept at the meeting at all times during such meeting and may be inspected 
by any stockholder who is present.

    2.6  QUORUM.  The holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of the 
votes entitled to be cast on a matter, present in person or by proxy, shall 
constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders, except as otherwise 
provided by law, the certificate of incorporation, or these bylaws.  If a 
quorum shall not be present, in person or by proxy, at any meeting of 
stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat who are present, in 
person or by proxy, or, if no

                                       2
<PAGE>

stockholder entitled to vote is present, any officer of the Corporation may 
adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement 
at the meeting (unless the Board of Directors, after such adjournment, fixes 
a new record date for the adjourned meeting), until a quorum shall be 
present, in person or by proxy.  At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum 
shall be present, in person or by proxy, any business may be transacted which 
may have been transacted at the original meeting had a quorum been present; 
provided that, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if 
after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a 
notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record 
entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting.

    2.7  REQUIRED VOTE: WITHDRAWAL OF QUORUM.  When a quorum is present at 
any meeting, the vote of the holders of shares entitled to cast at least a 
majority of the votes entitled to be cast by holders who are present, in 
person or by proxy, shall decide any question brought before such meeting, 
unless the question is one on which, by express provision of statute, 
applicable stock exchange, NASD, Inc. or Nasdaq rules, the certificate of 
incorporation, or these bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case 
such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such 
question.  The stockholders present at a duly constituted meeting may 
continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the 
withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

    2.8  METHOD OF VOTING: PROXIES.  Except as otherwise provided in the 
certificate of incorporation or by law, each outstanding share, regardless of 
class, shall be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter submitted to a vote 
at a meeting of stockholders.  Elections of directors need not be by written 
ballot. At any meeting of stockholders, every stockholder having the right to 
vote may vote either in person or by a proxy executed in writing by the 
stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact.  Each such proxy 
shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of 
the meeting.  No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from the date of 
its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.  If no date is stated 
in a proxy, such proxy shall be presumed to have been executed on the date of 
the meeting at which it is to be voted.  Each proxy shall be revocable unless 
expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest 
sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power or unless otherwise made 
irrevocable by law.

    2.9  RECORD DATE.  (a)  For the purpose of determining stockholders 
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or any 
adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other 
distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights 
in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock or for the purpose 
of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, 
which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing 
the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, for any such 
determination of stockholders, such date in any case to be not more than 
sixty (60) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to such meeting nor 
more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.  If no record date is 
fixed:

         (i)    The record date for determining stockholders entitled to 
    notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close 
    of business on the day next preceding the

                                       3
<PAGE>

    day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of 
    business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

         (ii)   The record date for determining stockholders for any other
    purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of
    Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

         (iii)  A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice
    of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment
    of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a
    new record date for the adjourned meeting.

    (b)  In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders 
entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the 
Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede 
the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the 
Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after 
the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the 
Board of Directors.  If no record date has been fixed by the Board of 
Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent 
to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the 
Board of Directors is required by law or these bylaws, shall be the first 
date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or 
proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its 
registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, 
or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which 
proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.  Delivery made to the 
Corporation's registered office in the State of Delaware or principal place 
of business shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return 
receipt requested.  If no record date has been fixed by the Board of 
Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law or 
these bylaws, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to 
consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the 
close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the 
resolution taking such prior action.

    2.10 CONDUCT OF MEETING.  The Chairman shall preside at all meetings of 
stockholders.  The Secretary shall keep the records of each meeting of 
stockholders.  In the absence or inability to act of any such officer, such 
officer's duties shall be performed by the officer given the authority to act 
for such absent or non-acting officer under these bylaws or by some person 
appointed by the meeting.

    2.11 INSPECTORS.  The Board of Directors may, in advance of any meeting 
of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at such meeting or any 
adjournment thereof.  If any of the inspectors so appointed shall fail to 
appear or act, the chairman of the meeting shall, or if inspectors shall not 
have been appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, appoint one or more 
inspectors. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, 
shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at 
such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his 
ability.  The inspectors shall determine the number of shares of capital 
stock of the Corporation outstanding and the voting power of each, the number 
of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the 
validity and effect of proxies and

                                       4
<PAGE>

shall receive votes, ballots, or consents, hear and determine all challenges 
and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and 
tabulate all votes, ballots, or consents, determine the results, and do such 
acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all 
stockholders.  On request of the chairman of the meeting, the inspectors 
shall make a report in writing of any challenge, request, or matter 
determined by them and shall execute a certificate of any fact found by them. 
 No director or candidate for the office of director shall act as an 
inspector of an election of directors.  Inspectors need not be stockholders.

    2.12 ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT.  Unless otherwise provided in the 
certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual 
or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or any action which 
may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be 
taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a 
consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and bearing 
the dates of signature of the stockholders who signed the consent or 
consents, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less 
than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take 
such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were 
present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to 
its registered office in the State of Delaware, or the Corporation's 
principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having 
custody of the book or books in which proceedings of meetings of the 
stockholders are recorded.  Delivery made to the Corporation's registered 
office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt 
requested.  All consents properly delivered in accordance with this section 
shall be deemed to be recorded when so delivered.  No written consent shall 
be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 
sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation as 
required by this section, written consents signed by the holders of a 
sufficient number of shares to take such corporate action are so recorded. 
Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less 
than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have 
not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, 
would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such 
meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number 
of holders were delivered to the Corporation.  Any action taken pursuant to 
such written consent or consents of the stockholders shall have the same 
force and effect as if taken by the stockholders at a meeting thereof.

    2.13 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER NOMINEES.  

         (a)  Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the 
procedures set forth in this Section 2.13 shall be eligible for election as

Corporation.  The chairman of the stockholders' meeting shall, if the facts 
warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made 
in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws, and if he shall 
so determine, he shall announce such determination to the meeting and the 
defective nomination shall be disregarded.  Notwithstanding the foregoing 
provisions of this Bylaw, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable 
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder 
with respect to the matters set forth in this Bylaw.

         (e)  (i)    Sections 2.13(a), (b), (c) and (d) shall not have any

committees of the Board of Directors with the respective duties, membership and
voting requirements stated below.  After such appointment and until a Type B

<PAGE>

approved by the Board of Directors only upon receiving the affirmative vote 
of a majority of the Board of Directors and a majority of the directors 
elected by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C 
Preferred Stock: (A) a decision to eliminate or discharge the Audit 
Committee, Compensation Committee, Executive Committee or the Acquisitions 
Committee, as described more fully below (such committees are the 
"Committees"), (B) a decision to reduce, narrow, attenuate or otherwise 
weaken the delegation of powers by the Board of Directors to any of the 
Committees, unless such reduction, narrowing, attenuation or other weakening 
is the transfer of delegated powers from the Compensation Committee or the 
Acquisitions Committee to the Executive Committee, (C) a decision to change 
the number of members of any Committee, the identity of the persons or 
entities entitled to select each of the members of any Committee, the size of 
the required vote for approval by any Committee and the size of the required 
vote of the Board of Directors necessary to approve actions that failed to 
obtain the required approval vote on the appropriate Committee; and (D) a 
decision to create any new committee.  If the holders of the Series B 
Preferred Stock or the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall cease to 
have the right to nominate and elect any director at all, otherwise than as a 
result of the conversion of their respective shares of Series B Preferred 
Stock or Series C Preferred Stock in a Type B Conversion, then such holders 
shall no longer have the right to select any member of any of the committees 
set forth below and the member or members of such committees selected by such 
holders shall automatically cease to be a member or members of such 
committees.

         (1)  COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.  The Compensation Committee shall
    consist of three (3) members, at least one (1) of whom shall be
    selected jointly by the Series B Directors and the director elected by
    holders of the Series C Preferred Stock (the "SERIES C DIRECTOR"), and
    who shall be a director.  An affirmative vote of at least two (2)
    members of the Compensation Committee shall be required for approval
    of matters considered by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation
    Committee shall ensure that the representative on the Compensation
    Committee nominated by the Series B Directors and the Series C
    Director shall receive adequate notice of and an opportunity to
    participate in any meetings of the Compensation Committee;

         (2)  AUDIT COMMITTEE.  The Audit Committee shall consist of three
    (3) directors, including as many Independent directors as are
    available, not to exceed three (3).  An affirmative vote of at least
    two (2) members of the Audit Committee shall be required for approval
    of matters considered by the Audit Committee.

         (3)  EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.  The Executive Committee shall consist
    of four (4) members, one (1) of whom shall be selected by the Series B
    Directors (and shall be a Series B Director), one (1) of whom shall be
    the Series C Director and two (2) of whom shall be selected by the
    Board of Directors.  The members selected by the Series B Directors
    and the Series C Director may be removed only by the Series B
    Directors and the Series C Director, respectively.  The Executive
    Committee shall, in addition to the customary duties of an executive
    committee, have the right to approve any financing activity, including
    but not limited to the Capital Budget Plan.  An affirmative vote of at
    least three (3) members of the

                                       10
<PAGE>

    Executive Committee shall be required for approval of any matters 
    considered by the Executive Committee. Each financing activity not 
    approved by the Executive Committee may be referred to the Board of 
    Directors for approval, which approval shall require a Supermajority 
    Vote; and

         (4)  ACQUISITIONS COMMITTEE.  The Acquisitions Committee shall
    consist of four (4) members, one (1) of whom shall be selected by the
    Series B Directors (and shall be a Series B Director), one (1) of whom
    shall be the Series C Director, and two (2) of whom shall be selected
    by the Board of Directors (and shall be directors).  The Acquisitions
    Committee shall have the right to approve any transaction of the types
    described in Sections 11(n), (o), (p) and (q) of the Series B
    Certificate of Designation with respect to which transaction the
    aggregate consideration payable in connection with such transaction
    (including, without limitation, cash consideration, the fair market
    value of any securities and the net present value of any deferred
    consideration) is less than $15 million.  A unanimous vote of the
    Acquisitions Committee shall be required for approval of any matters
    considered by the Acquisitions Committee.  Except as described in
    Section 4.1(5) below, each matter considered but not unanimously
    approved by the Acquisitions Committee may be referred to the Board of
    Directors for approval, which approval shall require a majority vote
    of the Board of Directors.  

         (5)  CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.  The unanimous approval of the
    Acquisitions Committee or the unanimous approval of the Board of
    Directors shall be required before the Corporation or any of its
    Subsidiaries engage in a transaction of the types described in Section
    11(n), (o) (which, only for purposes of this clause, shall also apply
    to Capital Expenditures made by the Corporation in the ordinary course
    of business), (p) and (q) of the Series B Certificate of Designation,
    in which transaction: (A) the aggregate consideration payable in
    connection with such transaction (including, without limitation, cash
    consideration, the fair market value of any securities and the net
    present value of any deferred consideration) is less than $15 million;

    Acquisitions Committee or unanimously by the Board of Directors, such
    appraisal to be performed by an independent appraiser selected
    unanimously by the Acquisitions Committee or unanimously by the Board
    of Directors.

    4.2  TERM.  Each committee member shall serve as such until the earliest 
of (a) the expiration of his term as director, (b) his resignation as a 
committee member or as a director, or (c) his removal as a committee member 
or as a director.  A Committee member elected to such Committee by the Board 
of Directors, and, after a Type B Event Date, any Committee member elected to 
such Committee by one or more Preferred Stock Directors, may be removed as a 
Committee member by a majority of the Board of Directors.  Prior to a Type B 
Event Date, a Committee member elected to such Committee by either the Series 
B Directors or the Series C

                                       11
<PAGE>

Director, or by both, shall not be removed as a Committee member except by 
the director or directors who elected such Committee member to such Committee.

    4.3  AUTHORITY.  Each committee, to the extent expressly provided in 
these bylaws or in the resolution establishing such committee, shall have and 
may exercise all of the authority of the Board of Directors in the management 
of the business and property of the Corporation except to the extent 
expressly restricted by law, the certificate of incorporation, or these 
bylaws.

    4.4  COMMITTEE CHANGES.  The Board of Directors shall have the power at 
any time to fill vacancies in the committees, but only to the extent the 
Board of Directors would have the power, pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, to 
remove a member who was occupying the committee position that is vacant.

    4.5  ALTERNATE MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES.  The person or entity with the 
power to select a particular member of a Committee (but such person or entity 
only, and no other) may designate one or more directors as alternate members 
of such Committee and any such alternate member may replace the absent or 
disqualified member for whom he is the alternate member at any meeting of 
such Committee.

    4.6  REGULAR MEETINGS.  Regular meetings of any committee may be held 
without notice at such time and place as may be designated from time to time 
by the committee and communicated to all members thereof.

    4.7  SPECIAL MEETINGS.  Special meetings of any committee may be held 
whenever called by any committee member.  The committee member calling any 
special meeting shall cause notice of such special meeting, including therein 
the time and place of such special meeting, to be given to each committee 
member at least two days before such special meeting.  The business to be 
transacted at, and the purpose of, any special meeting of any committee shall 
be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of any special meeting.

    4.8  QUORUM: MAJORITY VOTE.  At meetings of any committee, a majority of 
its membership shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  If 
a quorum is not present at a meeting of any committee, a majority of the 
members present may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice 
other than an announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.  The 
act of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is 
in attendance shall be the act of a committee, unless the act of a greater 
number is required by law, the certificate of incorporation, or these bylaws.

    4.9  MINUTES.  Each committee shall cause minutes of its proceedings to 
be prepared and shall report the same to the Board of Directors upon the 
request of the Board of Directors.  The minutes of the proceedings of each 
committee shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation for 
placement in the minute books of the Corporation.

    4.10 COMPENSATION.  Committee members may, by resolution of the Board of 
Directors, be allowed a fixed sum and expenses of attendance, if any, for 
attending any committee meetings or a stated salary.

                                       12

    4.11 COMMITTEE RULES.  Each committee of the Board of Directors may fix 
its own rules or procedures and shall hold its meetings as provided by such 
rules, except as may otherwise be provided in the certificate of 
incorporation, these bylaws or by a resolution of the Board of Directors 
designating such committee. ARTICLE 5: NOTICE

    5.1  METHOD.  Whenever by statute, the certificate of incorporation, or 
these bylaws, notice is required to be given to any committee member, 
director, or stockholder and no provision is made as to how such notice shall 
be given, personal notice shall not be required and any such notice may be 
given (a) in writing, by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such committee 
member, director, or stockholder at his address as it appears on the books or 
(in the case of a stockholder) the stock transfer records of the Corporation, 
or (b) by any other method permitted by law (including but not limited to 
overnight courier service, telegram, telex, or facsimile).  Any notice 
required or permitted to be given by mail shall be deemed to be delivered and 
given at the time when the same is deposited in the United States mail as 
aforesaid.  Any notice required or permitted to be given by overnight courier 
service shall be deemed to be delivered and given at the time delivered to 
such service with all charges prepaid and addressed as aforesaid and shall be 
deemed to be received two business days after such delivery to such service.  
Any notice required or permitted to be given by telegram, telex, or facsimile 
shall be deemed to be delivered and given at the time transmitted with all 
charges prepaid and addressed as aforesaid.

    5.2  WAIVER.  Whenever any notice is required to be given to any 
stockholder, director, or committee member of the Corporation by statute, the 
certificate of incorporation, or these bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing 
signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or 
after the time stated therein, shall be equivalent to the giving of such 
notice. Attendance of a stockholder, director, or committee member at a 
meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where 
such person attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of 
the meeting to the transaction of any business relevant on the ground that 
the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

                               ARTICLE 6: OFFICERS

shall be a President, a Secretary, and such other officers as the Board of 
Directors may from time to time elect or appoint, including one or more Vice 
Presidents (with each Vice President to have such descriptive title, if any, 
as the Board of Directors shall determine), and a Treasurer.  The officers of 
the Corporation shall be elected by the Board of Directors at the First 
Meetings, or as soon thereafter as conveniently may be.  Each officer shall 
hold office until his successor shall have been duly elected and shall have 
qualified, until his death, or until he shall resign or shall have been 
removed in the matter hereinafter provided.  Any two or more offices may be 
held by the same person. None of the officers need be a stockholder or a 
director of the Corporation or a resident of the State of Delaware.  In its 
discretion, the Board of Directors may choose not to fill any office for any 
period of time as it may deem advisable.

    6.2  REMOVAL.  Any officer or agent elected or appointed by the Board of 
Directors may be removed by the Board of Directors whenever in its judgment 
the best interests of the Corporation would be served thereby, but such 
removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the 
person so removed.  Election or appointment of an officer or agent shall not 
of itself create contract rights.

    6.3  VACANCIES.  Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Corporation

filled by the Board of Directors for the unexpired portion of the term by the

    6.6  DUTIES OF CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD.  The Chairman of the Board shall

other duties and have such other powers as may be prescribed from time to 
time by the Board of Directors.

    6.8  DUTIES OF PRESIDENT.  The President shall be the chief executive 
officer of the Corporation.  The President shall be responsible for the 
general and active management of the business of the Corporation and shall

mortgages and other contracts requiring a seal, under the seal of the 
Corporation, except when required or permitted by law to be otherwise signed 
and executed and except when the signing and execution thereof shall be 
expressly delegated by the Board of Directors to some other officer or agent 
of the Corporation.  The President shall, in the absence or disability of, or 
in the event of a vacancy in the office of, the Vice Chairman of the Board, 
perform the duties and exercise the powers of such Vice Chairman of the 
Board.  The President shall perform such other duties and have such other

<PAGE>

    6.10 DUTIES OF THE SECRETARY.  The Secretary shall keep, or cause to be 
kept, in books provided for that purpose, the minutes of the meetings of the 
stockholders, the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, and shall see

bylaws.  As required by law, the Secretary shall be the custodian of the 
records of the Corporation.  The Secretary shall keep the seal of the 
Corporation in safe custody and, when authorized by the Board of Directors, 
affix such seal to any document requiring it, and when so affixed, it shall 
be attested by his signature or by the signature of the Treasurer or an 
Assistant Secretary.  The Secretary shall perform such other duties and have 
such other powers as may be prescribed from time to time by the Board of 
Directors.

    6.11 DUTIES OF THE TREASURER.  The Treasurer shall have charge and 
custody of, and shall be responsible for, all funds and securities of the 
Corporation and shall deposit such funds in the name of the Corporation in

have such other powers as may be prescribed from time to time by the Board of 
Directors.

    6.12 OTHER OFFICERS, ASSISTANT OFFICERS AND AGENTS.  Officers, assistant 
officers and agents, if any, other than those whose duties are provided for

disability of any officer of the Corporation and of any person hereby 
authorized to act in such officer's place during such officer's absence or 
disability, the Board of Directors may by resolution delegate the powers and 
duties of such officer to any other officer or to any director, or to any 
other person whom it may select.

           ARTICLE 7: INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS

    7.1  NATURE OF INDEMNITY.  Each person who was or is made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom
he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the
Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee,
fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such
proceeding) and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his heirs,
executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in
Section 7.2 hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking
indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if
such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors.  The Corporation may,
by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to

                                       15
<PAGE>

employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the 
foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

    7.2  PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.  Any 
indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Section 7.2 
of this Article 7 or advance of expenses under Section 7.5 of this Article 7 
shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, upon the 
written request of the director or officer.  If a determination by the 
Corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification 
pursuant to this Article 7 is required, and the Corporation fails to respond 
within sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation 
shall be deemed to have approved the request.  If the Corporation denies a 
written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in 
part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within 
thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this 
Article 7 shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of 
competent jurisdiction.  Such person's costs and expenses incurred in 
connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in 
whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the 
Corporation.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action 
brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding 
in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, 
has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the 
standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation 
Law of the State of Delaware for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant 
for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the 
Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of 
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a 
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification 
of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the 
applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of 
the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the Corporation 
(including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its 
stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of 
conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the 
claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

    7.3  ARTICLE NOT EXCLUSIVE.  The rights to indemnification and the 
payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its 
final disposition conferred in this Article 7 shall not be exclusive of any 
other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, 
provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of 
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

    7.4  INSURANCE.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on 
its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, 
employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation or was serving at the 
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of 
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise 
against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such 
capacity, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify 
such person against such liability under this Article 7.

                                       16
<PAGE>

    7.5  EXPENSES.  Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 7.1 
of this Article 7 in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation 
in advance of such proceeding's final disposition upon receipt of any 
undertaking required by applicable law by or on behalf of the director or 
officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is 
not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.  Such expenses incurred by 
other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if 
any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

    7.6  EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.  Persons who are not covered by the foregoing 
provisions of this Article 7 and who are or were employees or agents of the 
Corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the Corporation as 
employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust 
or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time 
or from time to time by the Board of Directors.

    7.7  CONTRACT RIGHTS.  The provisions of this Article 7 shall be deemed 
to be a contract right between the Corporation and each director or officer 
who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article 7 and the 
relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware 
or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this 
Article 7 or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then 
existing with respect to any state of facts or proceedings then existing.

    7.8  MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION.  For purposes of this Article 7, references 
to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, 
any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) 
absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had 
continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, 
officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a 
director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is 
or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, 
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint 
venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under 
this Article 7 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he 
would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate 
existence had continued.

                   ARTICLE 8: CERTIFICATES AND STOCKHOLDERS

    8.1  CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES.  Certificates for shares of stock of the
Corporation shall be in such form as shall be approved by the Board of
Directors.  Every holder of stock in the Corporation shall be entitled to have a
certificate, signed by or in the name of the Corporation.  The certificates
shall be signed by the chairman of the board, the President or a Vice President
and also by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or by the Treasurer or an
Assistant Treasurer.  Any and all signatures on the certificate may be a
facsimile and may be sealed with the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile
thereof.  If any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed, or whose
facsimile signature has been placed upon, a certificate has ceased to be such
officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, such
certificate may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were
such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date

                                       17
<PAGE>

of issue.  The certificates shall be consecutively numbered and shall be 
entered in the books of the Corporation as they are issued and shall exhibit 
the holder's name and the number of shares.

    8.2  REPLACEMENT OF LOST OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES.  The Board of 
Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place 
of a certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation and 
alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of 
that fact by the person claiming the certificate or certificates representing 
shares to be lost or destroyed.  When authorizing such issue of a new 
certificate or certificates the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and 
as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such 
lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, 
to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the 
Corporation a bond with a surety or sureties satisfactory to the Corporation 
in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim, or expense 
resulting from a claim, that may be made against the Corporation with respect 
to the certificate or certificates alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

    8.3  TRANSFER OF SHARES.  Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be 
transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the holders thereof in 
person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives.  Upon 
surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a 
certificate representing shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper 
evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer, the Corporation 
or its transfer agent shall issue a new certificate to the person entitled 
thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction upon its 
books.  The Board of Directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized 
under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its 
transfer agent or registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any 
class or series of securities of the Corporation.

    8.4  REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS.  The Corporation shall be entitled to treat 
the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the holder in fact 
thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or 
other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other 
person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except 
as otherwise provided by law.

    8.5  REGULATIONS.  The Board of Directors shall have the power and 
authority to make all such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient 
concerning the issue, transfer, and registration or the replacement of 
certificates for shares of stock of the Corporation.

    8.6  LEGENDS.  The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority 
to provide that certificates representing shares of stock bear such legends 
as the Board of Directors deems appropriate to assure that the Corporation 
does not become liable for violations of federal or state securities laws or 
other applicable law.

    8.7  SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR STOCK.  Unless otherwise provided for in the 
subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at 
such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined 
by the Board of Directors.  Any call made by the Board of Directors for 
payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class

installment or call when such payment is due, the Corporation may proceed to 
collect the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the Corporation. 

                     ARTICLE 9: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

    9.1  DIVIDENDS.  Subject to provisions of law and the certificate of 
incorporation, dividends upon the capital stock of the Corporation, may be 
declared by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting and may

Corporation. Subject to provisions of law and the certificate of 
incorporation, such declaration and payment shall be at the discretion of the 
Board of Directors.

    9.2  RESERVES.  There may be created by the Board of Directors out of 
funds of the Corporation legally available therefor such reserve or reserves 
as the directors from time to time, in their discretion, consider proper to 
provide for contingencies, to equalize dividends, or to repair or maintain 
any property of the Corporation, or for such other purpose as the Board of 
Directors shall consider beneficial to the Corporation, and the Board of 
Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it 
was created.

    9.3  BOOKS AND RECORDS.  The Corporation shall keep correct and complete

written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during 
the usual hours of business to inspect for any proper purpose the 
Corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books 
and records, and to make copies or extracts therefrom.  A proper purpose 
shall mean any purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a 
stockholder.  In every instance where an attorney or other agent shall be the 
person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be 
accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which authorizes the 
attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder.  The demand 
under oath shall be directed to the Corporation at its registered office in 
the state of Delaware or at its principal place of business.

the payment of money by or to the Corporation and all notes and other

in such manner, as shall be determined by resolution of the Board of 
Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.

of incorporation, the Board of Directors or the appropriate Committee may 
authorize any officer or officers, or any agent or agents, of the Corporation 
to enter into any contract or to execute and deliver any instrument in the 
name of and on behalf of the Corporation, and such authority may be general 
or confined to specific instances.

    9.6  LOANS.  Subject to the limitations contained in the certificate of 
incorporation, the Corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation 
of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the Corporation or 
of its subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the 
Corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the directors, 
such loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the 
Corporation.  Subject to the limitations contained in the certificate of 
incorporation, the loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without 
interest, and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of 
Directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of 
stock of the Corporation.  Subject to the limitations contained in the 
certificate of incorporation, nothing contained in this section shall be 
deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the 
Corporation at common law or under any statute.

    9.7  FISCAL YEAR.  The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by 
the Board of Directors; provided, that if such fiscal year is not fixed by 
the Board of Directors and the selection of the fiscal year is not expressly

    9.9  RESIGNATIONS.  Any director, committee member, or officer may resign 
by so stating at any meeting of the Board of Directors or by giving written 
notice to the Board of Directors, the President, or the Secretary.  Such 
resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if no time is 
specified therein, immediately upon its receipt.  Unless otherwise specified 
therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it 
effective.

    9.10 VOTING SECURITIES OWNED BY CORPORATION.  Voting securities in any 
other corporation held by the Corporation shall be voted by the President, 
unless the Board of Directors specifically confers authority to vote with 
respect thereto, which authority may be general or confined to specific 
instances, upon some other person or officer.  Any person authorized to vote 
securities shall have the power to appoint proxies, with general power of 
substitution.

    9.11 MORTGAGES, ETC.  With respect to any deed, deed of trust, mortgage, 
or other instrument executed by the Corporation through its duly authorized 
officer or officers, the attestation to such execution by the Secretary of 
the Corporation shall not be necessary to constitute such deed, deed of 
trust, mortgage, or other instrument a valid and binding obligation against 
the Corporation unless the resolutions, if any, of the Board of Directors 
authorizing such execution expressly state that such attestation is necessary.

    9.12 HEADINGS.  The headings used in these bylaws have been inserted for 
administrative convenience only and shall not be given any substantive effect

    9.14 INCONSISTENT PROVISIONS.  In the event that any provision of these 
bylaws is or becomes inconsistent with any provision of the certificate of 
incorporation, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any 
other applicable law, the provision of these bylaws shall not be given any 
effect to the extent of such inconsistency but shall otherwise be given full 
force and effect.

    9.15 AMENDMENTS.  Except as otherwise provided in the certification of 
incorporation, these bylaws may be altered, amended, or repealed or new 
bylaws may be adopted by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors at any 
regular or special meeting of the stockholders or the Board of Directors, but 
only if such alteration, amendment, repeal, or adoption has been approved: 

    (i)   in case of adoption by the Board of Directors prior to the First 
Meeting following a Type B Event Date, by a majority of the Preferred Stock 
Directors and either (A) a majority of the entire Board of Directors (if such 
alteration, amendment, repeal, or adoption does not increase the number of 
directors) or (B) by at least 80% of the members of the entire Board of 
Directors (if such alteration, amendment, repeal, or adoption does increase 
the number of directors); 

    (ii)  in case of adoption by the Board of Directors at or after the First 
Meeting following a Type B Event Date, by either (A) a majority of the entire 
Board of Directors (if such alteration, amendment, repeal, or adoption 
neither increases the number of directors nor amends or repeals Section 
3.9(c) of these bylaws) or (B) by at least 80% of the members of the entire 
Board of Directors (if such alteration, amendment, repeal, or adoption does 
increase the number of directors or does amend or repeal Section 3.9(c) of 
these bylaws); 

    (iii) in case of adoption by the stockholders at any meeting of 
stockholders (other than the first meeting of stockholders following a Type B 
Event Date) with a record date on or prior to a Type B Conversion Date, by 
holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of the 
Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting as one 
class, and by holders of a majority of the shares, outstanding as of such 
record date, of whichever (or both) of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C 
Preferred Stock continued (as of such record date) to have the right under 
the certificate of incorporation to elect one or more Preferred Stock 
Directors; or 

    (iv)  in case of adoption by the stockholders at the first meeting of 
stockholders following a Type B Event Date or at any meeting of stockholders 
with a record date after a Type B Conversion Date, by holders of at least 
eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to 
vote in the election of directors, voting as one class.  

    For the avoidance of doubt, all Series D Preferred Stock of the 
Corporation issued pursuant to a Type B Conversion Event shall be deemed to 
be "entitled to vote in the election of

                                       21
<PAGE>

directors" at any time after such issuance, for all purposes of this Section 
9.15.  If the holders of Series B Preferred Stock no longer have the right to 
elect any Series B Directors at all under the certificate of incorporation, 
then the requirement of approval by the holders of shares of Series B 
Preferred Stock contained in Section 9.15(iii) shall not apply.  If the 
holders of Series C Preferred Stock no longer have the right to elect a 
Series C Director under the certificate of incorporation, then the 
requirement of approval by the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock 
contained in Section 9.15(iii) shall not apply.  If the holders of neither 
Series B Preferred Stock nor Series C Preferred Stock continue to have the 
right to elect any Preferred Stock Directors at all under the certificate of 
incorporation, then the requirement of approval by the Preferred Stock 
Directors contained in Section 9.15(i) shall not apply.  Notice of such 
proposed alteration, amendment, repeal, or adoption shall be contained in the 
notice of such meeting.

          5:00 P.M., NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE

                            INSIGHT HEALTH SERVICES CORP.

                                 WARRANT CERTIFICATE

    THIS CERTIFIES that Shattuck Hammond Partners, Inc. or registered assigns
is the registered holder (the "Warrantholder") of the number of warrants (the
"Warrants") set forth above, each of which represents the right to purchase one
fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $.001 per share
(the "Common Shares"), of InSight Health Services Corp., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), at the exercise price of $5.50 per share (the "Exercise
Price"), at any time prior to the Expiration Date hereinafter referred to, by
surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of Election to Purchase set
forth hereon duly executed, at the Company's principal executive office, 4400
MacArthur Boulevard, Newport Beach, California 92660 (the "Office"), and by
paying in full the Exercise Price, plus transfer taxes, if any, in United States
currency by certified check, bank cashier's check or money order payable to the
order of the Company.

    SECTION 1. DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.

         (a) The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate shall vest
cumulatively and be exercisable at the rate of 2,072 Warrants on August 1, 1996,
and 2,058 Warrants each month thereafter commencing on September 1, 1996, and
shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Los Angeles time, on July 1, 2000 (the "Expiration
Date"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Warrantholder's engagement under the
August 14, 1996 letter agreement between the Warrantholder and the Company is
terminated (the "Termination Date") at any time prior to December 31, 1997,
those Warrants which are vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date shall
remain vested and exercisable, but any unvested Warrants shall be cancelled on
the Termination Date. Any Warrant Certificate not surrendered to the Company for
exercise prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date shall be void.

         (b) Subject to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate, after the
date of this Warrant Certificate and prior to the close of business on the
Expiration Date, the Warrantholder shall have the right to purchase from the
Company the number of Common Shares specified above at the Exercise Price. In
order to exercise such right, the Warrantholder shall surrender the Warrant
Certificate(s) evidencing such Warrants to the Company at the Office with the
form of Election to Purchase set forth hereon duly

<PAGE>

completed and signed, and shall tender payment in full to the Company for the
Company's account of the Exercise Price, together with such taxes as are
specified in Section 4 hereof, for each Common Share with respect to which such
Warrants are being exercised. Such Exercise Price and taxes shall be paid in
full by certified check, bank cashier's check or money order, payable in United
States currency to the order of the Company. In addition, if the Common Shares
deliverable upon exercise have not been registered pursuant to the Securities
Act, the Warrantholder shall deliver a duly executed certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

         (c) The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall be
exercisable only in multiples of one (1) Warrant. If less than all of the
Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are exercised at any time prior
to the close of business on the Expiration Date, a new Warrant Certificate(s)
shall be issued to the Warrantholder, or its duly authorized assigns, by the
Company for the remaining number of Warrants evidenced by the Warrant
Certificate so surrendered.

    SECTION 2. ISSUANCE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES. Upon surrender of this Warrant
Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price, and, if the Common Shares
deliverable on exercise have not been registered under the Securities Act, upon
delivery of a certificate in the form of Exhibit A hereto, the Company shall
issue certificates representing Common Shares ("Share Certificates") for the
number of full Common Shares to which the holder of such Warrants is entitled,
registered in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Election to
Purchase. If such Common Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act, the Share Certificates shall bear a legend substantially similar to the
legend on this Warrant Certificate.

    SECTION 3. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES
PURCHASABLE PER NUMBER OF WARRANTS. The Exercise Price and the number of Common
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the occurrence of the events specified in this Section 3:
    
         (a) If the Company at any time after the date of this Warrant
Certificate (i) declares a dividend or makes a distribution on the outstanding
Common Shares payable in Common Shares, (ii) subdivides or reclassifies the
outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares or (iii) combines or
reclassifies the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common
Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the record date for such
dividend or distribution or at the effective date of such subdivision,
combination or reclassification, shall be adjusted to equal the quotient
obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares
outstanding immediately prior to such dividend, distribution, subdivision,
combination or reclassification, and the denominator of which shall be the
number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such dividend,
distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

         (b) If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to
paragraph (a), the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become
entitled to receive any additional Common Shares (the "New Shares"), thereafter
the number of such New Shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares
contained in paragraph (a), and the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with
respect to the Common Shares shall apply on like terms to any such New Shares.


                                         -2-

<PAGE>

         (c) All calculations of the Exercise Price under this Section 3 shall
be made to the nearest one hundredth of a cent. No adjustment in the Exercise
Price in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) hereof need be made if
such adjustment, together with other adjustments carried forward pursuant to
this paragraph (c), would amount to a change in such Exercise Price of less than
1%; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the amount by which any adjustment is not made by
reason of this paragraph (c) shall be carried forward and taken into account at
the time of any subsequent adjustment in the Exercise Price.

         (d) Unless the Company shall have exercised its election as provided
in paragraph (e), upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price as a result of the
calculations made in paragraph (a), each Warrant outstanding immediately prior
to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to
purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price that number of Common Shares obtained
by (i) multiplying (A) the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of
a Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment of the Exercise Price by (B) the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Exercise
Price and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect
immediately after such adjustment of the Exercise Price.

         (e) The Company may elect, on or after the date of any adjustment of
the Exercise Price, to adjust the number of Warrants in substitution for an
adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a
Warrant as provided in paragraph (d).

         (f) In case of any reorganization of the Company, or in case of the
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other legal entity or of
the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an
entirety to any other legal entity (collectively, "Reorganization"), all vested
Warrants shall be exercisable, and any unvested Warrants shall become
immediately exercisable, after such Reorganization, upon the terms and
conditions specified in this Warrant Certificate, for the stock or other
securities or property (including cash) to which a holder of the number of
Common Shares purchasable (at the time of such Reorganization) upon exercise of
such Warrant would have been entitled upon such Reorganization if such Warrant
had been exercised in full immediately prior to such Reorganization; and in any
such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect
to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Warrants shall be
appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be,
to any such stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon
exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization
unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor
(if other than the Company) resulting from such Reorganization or the legal
entity purchasing such assets shall assume, by written instrument executed and
delivered to the holder of each Warrant, the obligation to deliver to the holder
of each Warrant such stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase, and the other
obligations under this Warrant Certificate.

    SECTION 4. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company will pay all documentary stamp
taxes that may be imposed by the United States of America or any state or
territory thereof ("Taxes") attributable to the initial issuance of Common
Shares upon the exercise of Warrants prior to the close of business on the
Expiration Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to
pay any Taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance of any Warrant Certificates or any Share Certificates in a name other
than that of the Warrantholder of record surrendered upon the exercise of a
Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Share
Certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such Taxes or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such Taxes have been paid.

    SECTION 5. REGISTRATION.

         (a) This Warrant Certificate shall be registered in the name of the
record holder to whom it is distributed; and the Company shall maintain a list
showing the name, address and number of Warrants held by each of the
Warrantholders of record.

         (b) The Company may deem and treat the Warrantholder of record as the
absolute owner of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone) for the purpose of any
exercise thereof and any distribution to the holder thereof and for all other
purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

    SECTION 6. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES.

         (a) The Company shall register the transfer of this Warrant
Certificate upon the records to be maintained by it for that purpose, upon
surrender of this Warrant Certificate accompanied (if so required by the
Company) by (i) a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder(s) thereof
or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized
attorney, and (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that such transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities
Act. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be
issued to the transferee, and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be
cancelled by the Company.

         (b) This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged at the option of the
holder, when surrendered to the Company at the Office, for another Warrant
Certificate or other Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing in the
aggregate a like number of Warrants. Warrant Certificates surrendered for
exchange, transfer or exercise shall be cancelled by the Company.

    SECTION 7. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATES. In case this Warrant
Certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall
issue and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the
mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for any Warrant
Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor
and representing an equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of
evidence satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such
Warrant Certificate and an indemnity or bond, if requested, also satisfactory to
the Company. Applicants for such substitute Warrant Certificate shall also
comply with such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.

    SECTION 8. NOTICES.

         (a) Any notice or demand authorized by this Warrant Certificate to be
given or made by the Warrantholder to or on the Company shall be in writing and
shall be sufficiently given or made if personally delivered or sent by mail or
by telegram or telex confirmed by letter addressed (until another address is
given in writing by the Company) to the Office.

the Company.

be governed in accordance with the laws of said State, regardless of the laws

    SECTION 17. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         (a) If at any time or from time to time the Company proposes to file a
registration statement on any appropriate form (a "Registration Statement")
(other than in connection with an exchange offer or a registration statement on
Form S-4 or S-8 or otherwise unsuitable registration statements) under the
Securities Act with respect to any Common Shares, whether or not for sale for
its own account, on a form and in a manner which would permit registration of
Common Shares received upon exercise of the Warrants ("Warrant Shares") for sale
to the public under the Securities Act, the Company shall 

               (i) promptly give to the Warrantholder written notice thereof
(which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to
attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state
securities law); and

               (ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification
under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved
therein, all the Warrant Shares specified in a written request or requests, made
within 20 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, by the
Warrantholder.

         (b) If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a
registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so
advise the Warrantholder as a part of the written notice given pursuant to
Section 17(a)(i). In such event the right of the Warrantholder to registration
pursuant to this Section 17 shall be conditioned upon the Warrantholder's
participation, as a selling security holder, in such underwriting and the
inclusion of the Warrant Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided
herein. The Warrantholder shall (together with the Company and the other holders
of Common Shares distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter
into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriters selected
for such underwriting by the Company. The Warrantholder shall not be required to
make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters other
than those relating to the Warrantholder, the Warrant Shares and the intended
method of distribution and information about the Warrantholder provided by the
Warrantholder for use in the Registration Statement.

         (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 17:

              (i) subject to clause (iii) below, if the registration is an
underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company and the managing
underwriters of such offering determine in good faith that the aggregate amount
of Common Shares which the Warrantholder and the Company propose to include in
such Registration Statement exceeds the maximum amount of Common Shares that
could practicably be included therein, the Company will include in such
registration, first, the Common Shares which the Company proposes to sell, and
second, the Warrant Shares and the Common Shares of any holders of other
piggyback registration rights, if any, which can practicably be included
therein, pro rata among all such holders, taken together, on the basis of the
relative amount of Common Shares owned by the Warrantholder and such other
holders who have requested that Common Shares owned by them be included;

              (ii) subject to clause (iii) below, if the registration is an
underwritten secondary registration on behalf of any of the other security
holders of the Company and the managing underwriters determine in good faith
that the aggregate amount of Common Shares which the Warrantholder and such
security holders propose to include in such registration exceeds the maximum


                                         -6-

<PAGE>

amount of Common Shares that could practicably be included therein, the Company
will include in such registration, first, the Common Shares to be sold for the
account of any other holders entitled to demand registration and, second, the
Warrant Shares and other Common Shares to be sold for the account of other
holders electing to include (but not being entitled to demand inclusion of)
Common Shares in such registration, pro rata among all such holders, taken
together, on the basis of the relative amount of Common Shares owned by the
Warrantholder and such other holders who have requested that Common Shares owned
by them be included; and

              (iii) in the event of a conflict between the rights of the
Warrantholder set forth in this Section 17 and the registration rights of
General Electric Company, the rights hereunder shall be subordinate to such
other rights and the Company's obligations shall be limited to those that can be
performed without violating the terms of such other registration rights.

         (d) The Company may withdraw any Registration Statement at any time
before it becomes effective, or postpone the offering of Common Shares, without
obligation or liability to the Warrantholder.

         (e) With respect to a Registration Statement in which any of the
Warrant Shares are included, the Warrantholder agrees, if requested by the
managing underwriters in an underwritten offering, not to effect any public sale
or distribution of Common Shares, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act (except as part of such registration), during the 180-day
period beginning on the effective date of such Registration Statement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that such agreement shall be applicable only to the first three such
Registration Statements which cover Common Shares (or other securities) to be
sold on the Company's behalf to the public in an underwritten offering.

         (f) All Registration Expenses (as defined below) incurred in
connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this
Section 17 shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses (as defined
below) incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder shall be borne by
the holders of the Common Shares so registered pro rata on the basis of the
number of shares so registered. For purposes of this Section 17, (i)
"REGISTRATION EXPENSES" shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in
complying with this Section 17, including, without limitation, all registration
and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company, reasonable fees and disbursements of a single special counsel for the
Warrantholder and all other holders of Common Shares to be registered, blue sky
fees and expenses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or required
by any such registration (but excluding the compensation of the Company's
regular employees which shall be paid in any event by the Company) and (ii)
"SELLING EXPENSES" shall mean all underwriting discounts and selling commissions
applicable to the sale.

         (g) In the case of each registration, qualification or compliance
effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 17, the Company will keep the
Warrantholder advised in writing as to the qualification and compliance and as
to the completion thereof. At its expense the Company will:

              (i) Keep such registration, qualification or compliance effective
for a period of 120 days or until the Warrantholder has completed the
distribution described in the Registration Statement relating thereto, whichever
first occurs;


                                         -7-

<PAGE>

              (ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for
the requisite period;

              (iii) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents
incident thereto as the Warrantholder from time to time may reasonably request;

              (iv) Use its reasonable efforts to register or qualify such
Warrant Shares under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as
the Warrantholder reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things
which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Warrantholder to
consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Warrant Shares owned by
the Warrantholder (PROVIDED that the Company will not be required to (A) qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this Section 17, (B) subject itself to taxation in
any such jurisdiction, (C) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction, or (D) qualify such Warrant Shares in a given jurisdiction where,
in the sole discretion of the Company, expressions of investment interest are
not sufficient in such jurisdiction to reasonably justify the expense of
qualification in that jurisdiction or where such qualification would require the
Company to register as a broker or dealer in such jurisdiction);

              (v) Notify the Warrantholder at any time when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the
happening of any event known to the Company as a result of which the prospectus
included in such Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and in such event, at the request of the Warrantholder,
the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that,
as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Warrant Shares, such
prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

              (vi) Cause all such Warrant Shares to be listed on each
securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then
listed and qualify such Warrant Shares for trading on each system on which
similar securities issued by the Company are from time to time qualified;

              (vii) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Warrant
Shares not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement and
thereafter maintain such a transfer agent and registrar;

              (viii) Permit the Warrantholder, if in the Company's sole and
exclusive judgment, such holder might be deemed to be an underwriter or a
controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such
Rregistration Statement and to require the insertion therein of material,
furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such
holder and it's counsel should be included; and

              (ix) In the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or
preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of
any Common Shares included in such Registration Statement for sale in any
jurisdiction, the Company will use its reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the
withdrawal of such order.


                                         -8-

<PAGE>

         (h) The Warrantholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Sections 17(g)(v)
or (ix), such holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Warrant Shares
pursuant to a registration hereunder until receipt of the copies of an
appropriate supplement or amendment to the prospectus under Section 17(g)(ii) or
until the withdrawal of such order under Section 17(g)(ix).

         (i) No person may participate in any underwritten registration
hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Common Shares on
the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons
entitled to approve such arrangements, (ii) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and
other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and
(iii) furnishes to the Company such information regarding such person and the
distribution proposed by such person as the Company may request in writing and
as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or
compliance referred to in this Section 17.

         (j) The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law,
the Warrantholder, its officers, directors and trustees and each person who
controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such holder against all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any
information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use
therein or by such holder's failure to deliver a copy of the Registration
Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the
Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the
same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify
such underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) such underwriters at least to the
same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the
Warrantholder.

         (k) In connection with any Registration Statement in which
Warrantholder is participating, such Warrantholder will furnish to the Company
in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in
connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and, to the extent
permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and
each person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is
contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder; PROVIDED
that the obligation to indemnify will be limited to the net amount of proceeds
received by such holder from the sale of Warrant Shares pursuant to such
Registration Statement. In connection with an underwritten offering, such holder
will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each person
who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such underwriters at
least to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification
of the Company.


                                         -9-


<PAGE>

         (l) Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give
prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to
which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's
reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and
indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the
indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be
unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects
not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such
indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such
claim.

         (m) The indemnification provided for under this Section 17 will remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such
indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities. The Company also
agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified
party, for contribution to such party in the event the Company's indemnification
is unavailable for any reason. The Warrantholder also agrees to make such
provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for
contribution to such party in the event such holder's indemnification is
unavailable for any reason.

         (n) The provisions of this Section 17 shall apply until such time as
all Warrant Shares that have not been resold to the public may be resold
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act within a three month period.

    SECTION 18. CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS.

         The Warrantholder, by its acceptance of this Warrant Certificate, as
evidenced by delivery of the Warrant Certificate to the Warrantholder, has made
the following representations to the Company and agreed as follows:

         The Warrantholder is not an executive officer or director of the
    Company and understands that, in connection with complying with California
    law, the Company (i) may issue Warrants to no more than thirty-five (35)
    purchasers in connection with an offering of such Warrants, excluding
    executive officers and directors of the Company and certain other persons
    as provided under California law, (ii) the Warrantholder is included in the
    foregoing thirty-five (35) purchaser number, and (iii) the Company, in
    compliance with California law, is granting the Warrants pursuant to this
    Warrant Certificate in part in reliance on Warrantholder's representations
    made herein. The Warrantholder represents that the Warrantholder either has
    a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company or any of
    its partners, officers, directors or controlling persons, or, by reason of
    the Warrantholder's business or financial experience or the business or
    financial experience of the Warrantholder's professional advisor is
    unaffiliated with and who is not compensated by the Company or any
    affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly, the
    Warrantholder can be reasonably assumed by the Company to have the capacity
    to protect the Warrantholder's interests in connection with the issuance of
    Warrants pursuant to this Warrant Certificate. The Warrantholder
    understands that in making the foregoing representation the term
    "preexisting personal or business

                                         -10-

<PAGE>

    relationship" includes any relationship consisting of personal or
    business contacts of a nature and duration such as would enable a
    reasonably prudent purchasers to be aware of the character, business
    acumen and general business and financial circumstances of the person
    with whom such relationship exists, and that a relationship of
    employer-employee, or as a security holder of the Company does not
    necessarily involve contacts of a nature which are sufficient to
    establish a preexisting personal or business relationship as required
    under California law.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant Certificate to be
    duly executed.

                                 WARRANT CERTIFICATE

     THIS CERTIFIES that Anthony J. LeVecchio, or his registered assigns is the
registered holder (the "Warrantholder") of the number of warrants (the
"Warrants") set forth above, each of which represents the right to purchase one
fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $.001 per share
(the "Common Shares"), of InSight Health Services Corp., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), at the exercise price of $5.50 per share (the "Exercise
Price"), at any time prior to the Expiration Date hereinafter referred to, by
surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of Election to Purchase set
forth hereon duly executed, at the Company's principal executive office, 4400
MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 800, Newport Beach, California 92660 (the "Office"),
and by paying in full the Exercise Price, plus transfer taxes, if any, in United
States currency by certified check, bank cashier's check or money order payable
to the order of the Company.

    SECTION 1. DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.

         (a) The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate shall vest
cumulatively and be exercisable at the rate of 5,000 Warrants on each of March
11, 1998, March 11, 1999 and March 11, 2000 and shall expire at 5:00 p.m.
Newport Beach, California time, on March 11, 2001 ("Expiration Date").

         (b) Subject to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate, after the
date of this Warrant Certificate and prior to the close of business on the
Expiration Date, the Warrantholder shall have the right to purchase from the
Company the number of Common Shares specified above at the Exercise Price. In
order to exercise such right, the Warrantholder shall surrender the Warrant
Certificate(s) evidencing such Warrants to the Company at the Office with the
form of Election to Purchase set forth hereon duly completed and signed, and
shall tender payment in full to the Company for the Company's account of the
Exercise Price, together with such taxes as are specified in Section 4


                                         -1-

<PAGE>

hereof, for each Common Share with respect to which such Warrants are being
exercised. Such Exercise Price and taxes shall be paid in full by certified
check, bank cashier's check or money order, payable in United States currency to
the order of the Company. In addition, if the Common Shares deliverable upon
exercise have not been registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the
Warrantholder shall deliver a duly executed certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit A hereto.

         (c) The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall be
exercisable only in multiples of one (1) Warrant. If less than all of the
Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are exercised at any time prior
to the close of business on the Expiration Date, a new Warrant Certificate(s)
shall be issued to the Warrantholder, or his duly authorized assigns, by the
Company for the remaining number of Warrants evidenced by the Warrant
Certificate so surrendered.

    SECTION 2. ISSUANCE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES. Upon surrender of this Warrant
Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price, and, if the Common Shares
deliverable on exercise have not been registered under the Securities Act, upon
delivery of a certificate in the form of Exhibit A hereto, the Company shall
issue certificates representing Common Shares ("Share Certificates") for the
number of full Common Shares to which the holder of such Warrants is entitled,
registered in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Election to
Purchase. If such Common Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act, the Share Certificates shall bear a legend substantially similar to the
legend on this Warrant Certificate.

    SECTION 3. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES
PURCHASABLE PER NUMBER OF WARRANTS. The Exercise Price and the number of Common
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the occurrence of the events specified in this Section 3:

         (a) If the Company at any time after the date of this Warrant
Certificate (i) declares a dividend or makes a distribution on the outstanding
Common Shares payable in Common Shares, (ii) subdivides or reclassifies the
outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares or (iii) combines or
reclassifies the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common
Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the record date for such
dividend or distribution or at the effective date of such subdivision,
combination or reclassification, shall be adjusted to equal the quotient
obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares
outstanding immediately prior to such dividend, distribution, subdivision,
combination or reclassification, and the denominator of which shall be the
number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such dividend,
distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

         (b) If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to
subsection (a), the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become
entitled to receive any additional Common Shares (the "New Shares"), thereafter
the number of such New Shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares
contained in paragraph (a), and the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with
respect to the Common Shares shall apply on like terms to any such New Shares.


                                         -2-

<PAGE>

         (c) All calculations of the Exercise Price under this Section 3 shall
be made to the nearest one hundredth of a cent. No adjustment in the Exercise
Price in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) hereof need be made if
such adjustment, together with other adjustments carried forward pursuant to
this subsection (c), would amount to a change in such Exercise Price of less
than 1%; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the amount by which any adjustment is not made
by reason of this subsection (c) shall be carried forward and taken into account
at the time of any subsequent adjustment in the Exercise Price.

         (d) Unless the Company shall have exercised its election as provided
in subsection (e), upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price as a result of the
calculations made in subsection (a), each Warrant outstanding immediately prior
to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to
purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price that number of Common Shares obtained
by (i) multiplying (A) the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of
a Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment of the Exercise Price by (B) the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Exercise
Price and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect
immediately after such adjustment of the Exercise Price.

         (e) The Company may elect, on or after the date of any adjustment of
the Exercise Price, to adjust the number of Warrants in substitution for an
adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a
Warrant as provided in subsection (d).

         (f) In case of any reorganization of the Company, or in case of the
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other legal entity or of
the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an
entirety to any other legal entity (collectively, "Reorganization"), all vested
Warrants shall be exercisable, and any unvested Warrants shall become
immediately exercisable, after such Reorganization, upon the terms and
conditions specified in this Warrant Certificate, for the stock or other
securities or property (including cash) to which a holder of the number of
Common Shares purchasable (at the time of such Reorganization) upon exercise of
such Warrant would have been entitled upon such Reorganization if such Warrant
had been exercised in full immediately prior to such Reorganization; and in any
such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect
to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Warrants shall be
appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be,
to any such stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon
exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization
unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor
(if other than the Company) resulting from such Reorganization or the legal
entity purchasing such assets shall assume, by written instrument executed and
delivered to the holder of each Warrant, the obligation to deliver to the holder
of each Warrant such stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase, and the other
obligations under this Warrant Certificate.

    SECTION 4. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company will pay all documentary stamp
taxes that may be imposed by the United States of America or any state or
territory thereof ("Taxes") attributable to the initial issuance of Common
Shares upon the exercise of Warrants prior to the close of business on the
Expiration Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to
pay any Taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance of any Warrant Certificates or any Share Certificates in a name other
than that of the Warrantholder of record surrendered upon the exercise of a
Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Share
Certificates unless or until


                                         -3-

<PAGE>

the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the
Company the amount of such Taxes or shall have established to the satisfaction
of the Company that such Taxes have been paid.

    SECTION 5. REGISTRATION.

         (a) This Warrant Certificate shall be registered in the name of the
record holder to whom it is distributed, and the Company shall maintain a list
showing the name, address and number of Warrants held by each of the
Warrantholders of record.

         (b) The Company may deem and treat the Warrantholder of record as the
absolute owner of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone) for the purpose of any
exercise thereof and any distribution to the holder thereof and for all other
purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

    SECTION 6. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES.

         (a) The Company shall register the transfer of this Warrant
Certificate upon the records to be maintained by it for that purpose, upon

Company) by (i) a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder(s) thereof
or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized
attorney, and (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that such transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities
Act. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be
issued to the transferee, and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be
cancelled by the Company.

         (b) This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged at the option of the
holder, when surrendered to the Company at the Office, for another Warrant
Certificate or other Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing in the
aggregate a like number of Warrants. Warrant Certificates surrendered for
exchange, transfer or exercise shall be cancelled by the Company.

    SECTION 7. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATES. In case this Warrant
Certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall
issue and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the
mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for any Warrant
Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor
and representing an equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of
evidence satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such
Warrant Certificate and an indemnity or bond, if requested, also satisfactory to
the Company. Applicants for such substitute Warrant Certificate shall also
comply with such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.

    SECTION 8. NOTICES.

         (a) Any notice or demand authorized by this Warrant Certificate to be
given or made by the Warrantholder to or on the Company shall be in writing and

    SECTION 17. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

            (a) If at any time or from time to time the Company proposes to 
file a registration statement on any appropriate form (a "Registration 
Statement") (other than in connection with an exchange offer or a 
registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or otherwise unsuitable 
registration statements) under the Securities Act with respect to any Common 
Shares, whether or not for sale for its own account, on a form and in a 
manner which would permit registration of Common Shares received upon 
exercise of the Warrants ("Warrant Shares") for sale to the public under the 
Securities Act, the Company shall

               (i) promptly give to the Warrantholder written notice thereof
(which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to
attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state
securities law); and

               (ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification
under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved
therein, all the Warrant Shares specified in a written request or requests, made
within 20 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, by the
Warrantholder.

         (b) If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a
registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so
advise the Warrantholder as a part of the written notice given pursuant to
Section 17(a)(i). In such event the right of the Warrantholder to registration
pursuant to this Section 17 shall be conditioned upon the Warrantholder's
participation, as a selling security holder, in such underwriting and the
inclusion of the Warrant Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided
herein. The Warrantholder shall (together with the Company and the other holders
of Common Shares distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter
into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriters selected
for such underwriting by the Company. The Warrantholder shall not be required to
make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters other
than those relating to the Warrantholder, the Warrant Shares and the intended
method of distribution and information about the Warrantholder provided by the
Warrantholder for use in the Registration Statement.

         (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 17:

            (i) subject to subsection (iii) below, if the registration is an 
underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company and the managing 
underwriters of such offering determine in good faith that the aggregate 
amount of Common Shares which the Warrantholder and the Company propose to 
include in such Registration Statement exceeds the maximum amount of Common 
Shares that could practicably be included therein, the Company will include 
in such registration, first, the Common Shares which the Company proposes to 
sell, and second, the Warrant Shares and the Common Shares of any holders of 
other piggyback registration rights, if any, which can practicably be 
included therein, pro rata among all such holders, taken together, on the 
basis of the relative amount of Common Shares owned by the Warrantholder and 
such other holders who have requested that Common Shares owned by them be 
included;

          (ii) subject to subsection (iii) below, if the registration is an
underwritten secondary registration on behalf of any of the other security
holders of the Company and the managing


                                         -6-

<PAGE>

underwriters determine in good faith that the aggregate amount of Common Shares
which the Warrantholder and such security holders propose to include in such
registration exceeds the maximum amount of Common Shares that could practicably
be included therein, the Company will include in such registration, first, the
Common Shares to be sold for the account of any other holders entitled to demand
registration and, second, the Warrant Shares and other Common Shares to be sold
for the account of other holders electing to include (but not being entitled to
demand inclusion of) Common Shares in such registration, pro rata among all such
holders, taken together, on the basis of the relative amount of Common Shares
owned by the Warrantholder and such other holders who have requested that Common
Shares owned by them be included; and

              (iii) in the event of a conflict between the rights of the
Warrantholder set forth in this Section 17 and the registration rights of
General Electric Company, the rights hereunder shall be subordinate to such
other rights and the Company's obligations shall be limited to those that can be
performed without violating the terms of such other registration rights.

         (d) The Company may withdraw any Registration Statement at any time
before it becomes effective, or postpone the offering of Common Shares, without
obligation or liability to the Warrantholder.

         (e) With respect to a Registration Statement in which any of the
Warrant Shares are included, the Warrantholder agrees, if requested by the
managing underwriters in an underwritten offering, not to effect any public sale
or distribution of Common Shares, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act (except as part of such registration), during the 180-day
period beginning on the effective date of such Registration Statement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that such agreement shall be applicable only to the first three such
Registration Statements which cover Common Shares (or other securities) to be
sold on the Company's behalf to the public in an underwritten offering.

         (f) All Registration Expenses (as defined below) incurred in
connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this
Section 17 shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses (as defined
below) incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder shall be borne by
the holders of the Common Shares so registered pro rata on the basis of the
number of shares so registered. For purposes of this Section 17, (i)
"REGISTRATION EXPENSES" shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in
complying with this Section 17, including, without limitation, all registration
and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company, reasonable fees and disbursements of a single special counsel for the
Warrantholder and all other holders of Common Shares to be registered, blue sky
fees and expenses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or required
by any such registration (but excluding the compensation of the Company's
regular employees which shall be paid in any event by the Company) and (ii)
"SELLING EXPENSES" shall mean all underwriting discounts and selling commissions
applicable to the sale.

         (g) In the case of each registration, qualification or compliance
effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 17, the Company will keep the
Warrantholder advised in writing as to the qualification and compliance and as
to the completion thereof. At its expense the Company will:

              (i) Keep such registration, qualification or compliance effective
for a period of 120 days or until the Warrantholder has completed the
distribution described in the Registration Statement relating thereto, whichever
first occurs;


                                         -7-

<PAGE>

               (ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for
the requisite period;
 
               (iii) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents
incident thereto as the Warrantholder from time to time may reasonably request;
 
              (iv) Use its reasonable efforts to register or qualify such
Warrant Shares under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as
the Warrantholder reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things
which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Warrantholder to
consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Warrant Shares owned by
the Warrantholder (PROVIDED that the Company will not be required to (A) qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this Section 17, (B) subject itself to taxation in
any such jurisdiction, (C) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction, or (D) qualify such Warrant Shares in a given jurisdiction where,
in the sole discretion of the Company, expressions of investment interest are
not sufficient in such jurisdiction to reasonably justify the expense of
qualification in that jurisdiction or where such qualification would require the
Company to register as a broker or dealer in such jurisdiction);

               (v) Notify the Warrantholder at any time when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the
happening of any event known to the Company as a result of which the prospectus
included in such Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and in such event, at the request of the Warrantholder,
the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that,
as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Warrant Shares, such
prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
 
              (vi) Cause all such Warrant Shares to be listed on each
securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then
listed and qualify such Warrant Shares for trading on each system on which
similar securities issued by the Company are from time to time qualified;

              (vii) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Warrant
Shares not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement and
thereafter maintain such a transfer agent and registrar;

              (viii) Permit the Warrantholder, if in the Company's sole and
exclusive judgment, such holder might be deemed to be an underwriter or a
controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such
Registration Statement and to require the insertion therein of material,
furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such
holder and his counsel should be included; and

              (ix) In the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or
preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of
any Common Shares included in such Registration Statement


                                         -8-

<PAGE>

for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use its reasonable efforts
promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order.

         (h) The Warrantholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Sections 17(g)(v)
or (ix), such holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Warrant Shares
pursuant to a registration hereunder until receipt of the copies of an
appropriate supplement or amendment to the prospectus under Section 17(g)(ii) or
until the withdrawal of such order under Section 17(g)(ix).

         (i) No person may participate in any underwritten registration
hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Common Shares on
the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons
entitled to approve such arrangements, (ii) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and
other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and
(iii) furnishes to the Company such information regarding such person and the
distribution proposed by such person as the Company may request in writing and
as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or
compliance referred to in this Section 17.

         (j) The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, 
the Warrantholder and each person who controls (within the meaning of the 
Securities Act) such holder against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities 
and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material 
fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary 
prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or 
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or 
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as 
the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing 
to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder's 
failure to deliver a copy of the Registration Statement or prospectus or any 
amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such holder 
with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an 
underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their 
officers and directors and each person who controls (within the meaning of 
the Securities Act) such underwriters at least to the same extent as provided 
above with respect to the indemnification of the Warrantholder.

         (k) In connection with any Registration Statement in which
Warrantholder is participating, such Warrantholder will furnish to the Company
in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in
connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and, to the extent
permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and
each person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is
contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder; PROVIDED
that the obligation to indemnify will be limited to the net amount of proceeds
received by such holder from the sale of Warrant Shares pursuant to such
Registration Statement. In connection with an underwritten offering, such holder
will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each person
who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such underwriters at
least to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification
of the Company.


                                         -9-

<PAGE>

         (l) Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give
prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to
which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's
reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and
indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the
indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be
unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects
not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such
indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such
claim.

         (m) The indemnification provided for under this Section 17 will remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such
indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities. The Company also
agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified
party, for contribution to such party in the event the Company's indemnification
is unavailable for any reason. The Warrantholder also agrees to make such
provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for
contribution to such party in the event such holder's indemnification is
unavailable for any reason.

         (n) The provisions of this Section 17 shall apply until such time as
all Warrant Shares that have not been resold to the public may be resold
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act within a three month period.

    SECTION 18. CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS.

         The Warrantholder, by his acceptance of this Warrant Certificate, as
evidenced by delivery of the Warrant Certificate to the Warrantholder, has made
the following representations to the Company and agreed as follows:

         The Warrantholder is not an executive officer or director of the 
    Company and understands that, in connection with complying with 
    California law, the Company (i) may issue Warrants to no more than 
    thirty-five (35) purchasers in connection with an offering of such 
    Warrants, excluding executive officers and directors of the Company and 
    certain other persons as provided under California law, (ii) the 
    Warrantholder is included in the foregoing thirty-five (35) purchaser 
    number, and (iii) the Company, in compliance with California law, is 
    granting the Warrants pursuant to this Warrant Certificate in part in 
    reliance on Warrantholder's representations made herein. The 
    Warrantholder represents that the Warrantholder either has a preexisting 
    personal or business relationship with the Company or any of his 
    partners or controlling persons, or, by reason of the Warrantholder's 
    business or financial experience or the business or financial experience 
    of the Warrantholder's professional advisor is unaffiliated with and who 
    is not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of 
    the Company, directly or indirectly, the Warrantholder can be reasonably 
    assumed by the Company to have the capacity to protect the 
    Warrantholder's

                                         -10-

<PAGE>

    interests in connection with the issuance of Warrants pursuant to this
    Warrant Certificate. The Warrantholder understands that in making the
    foregoing representation the term "preexisting personal or business
    relationship" includes any relationship consisting of personal or business
    contacts of a nature and duration such as would enable a reasonably prudent
    purchaser to be aware of the character, business acumen and general
    business and financial circumstances of the person with whom such
    relationship exists, and that a relationship of employer-employee, or as a
    security holder of the Company does not necessarily involve contacts of a
    nature which are sufficient to establish a preexisting personal or business
    relationship as required under California law.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant Certificate to be
duly executed.

                            INSIGHT HEALTH SERVICES CORP.

                          1996 DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN

                         NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

    THIS AGREEMENT is made as of           ("Grant Date"), by and between
INSIGHT HEALTH SERVICES CORP., a Delaware corporation ("Corporation") and      
                    ("Optionee").

                                      WITNESSETH

RECITALS

    A. The stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Corporation ("Board")
have adopted the 1996 Directors' Stock Option Plan ("Plan") of the Corporation
for the purpose of attracting and retaining highly qualified individuals to
serve as members of the Board, who are not officers or employees of the
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

    B. The Optionee is a director of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, and
this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the
purposes of, the Plan in connection with the grant by the Corporation of a
nonstatutory stock option to the Optionee.

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

    1. GRANT OF OPTION. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set 
forth in this Agreement and the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto, the 
Corporation hereby grants to the Optionee, as of the Grant Date, a 
nonstatutory stock option to purchase up to ___ shares ("Option Shares") of 
the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation ("Common 
Stock") from time to time during the Option Period (as defined below) at the 
price of $    per share ("Option Price").

     2. OPTION PERIOD. This option shall be exercisable only during the Option
Period. Termination of the Optionee's services as a director for any reason
shall not cause this option to terminate; however, upon the Expiration Date or
upon its earlier termination under Paragraph 4, this option shall cease to be
exercisable and have no further force or effect whatsoever.
 
    3. VESTING AND EARLY TERMINATION. The Option Shares shall vest each month
following the Grant Date on a pro rata basis over a three (3) year period
following the Grant Date until fully vested, so long as continuously during such
time period the Optionee remains a director, or is an employee or independent
contractor of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or is a director of one
of the Corporation's subsidiaries.

<PAGE>

    If the Optionee's services terminate prior to the end of such three (3)
year period, then the vested Option Shares shall be fixed at such time, and
should the calculation result in a fractional share, it shall be rounded down to
the nearest whole number of shares.

    4. DEATH OR DISABILITY OF AN OPTIONEE. If the Optionee's services to the
Corporation are terminated as a result of the Optionee's death or disability,
then the Optionee, or the executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate
or the Optionee's heirs or legatees (as the case may be) shall have the right to
exercise this option with respect to all options theretofore granted to such
Optionee, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms. In the event
of such termination, the period for exercising this option shall be a period of
twelve (12) months commencing with the date of such termination of services,
provided that in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the
Expiration Date. For purposes of this section, "disability" shall mean an
Optionee's inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of
any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected
to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months.

     5. TIMING AND METHOD OF EXERCISE. In order to exercise this option with
respect to all or any part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the
time exercisable, the Optionee (or in the case of exercise after the Optionee's
death, the Optionee's executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may
be) must comply with the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan. A form of
exercise notice is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     6. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except to the extent otherwise provided in
Paragraph 4, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and
be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, devisees, legal
representatives and assigns of the Optionee and the successors and assigns of
the Corporation.

     7. LIABILITY OF CORPORATION. The inability of the Corporation to obtain
approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to
be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to
this option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability in respect of the
non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not
have been obtained.
     
     8. CONSTRUCTION. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are made
and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject
to the express terms and provisions of the Plan.

     9. GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware.

<PAGE>

    10. WARRANTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE OPTIONEE.

         (a) The Optionee represents, warrants and agrees that the Optionee
will acquire and hold the Option Shares for the Optionee's own account for
investment and not with the view to the resale or distribution thereof, except
for resales or distributions in accordance with federal and state securities
laws, and that the Optionee will not, at any time or times, directly or
indirectly, offer, sell, distribute, pledge or otherwise grant a security
interest in or otherwise dispose of or transfer all, any portion of or any
interest in, any Option Shares (or solicit an offer to buy, take in pledge or
otherwise acquire or receive, allow all or any portion thereof), except pursuant
to either (i) a Registration Statement on an appropriate form under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"), which Registration Statement has
become effective and is current with respect to the shares being offered or
sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the
Act, the availability of which exemption shall be the subject matter of an
opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Corporation that no registration
under the Act is required with respect to such offer, sale, distribution,
pledge, grant or other disposition or transfer.

         (b) The Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee understands that (i)
the option has been granted and the shares to be sold to the Optionee upon
exercise of the option will be sold to the Optionee pursuant exemptions from the
registration requirements in the Act until such time as the Corporation shall
file a Registration Statement under the Act which has become effective and is
current with respect to the shares being offered or sold and in this connection
the Corporation is relying in part on the representations set forth in this
Agreement; (ii) such shares must be held indefinitely unless they are registered
or an exemption from registration becomes available under the Act and the
securities laws of any state; (iii) the Corporation is under no obligation to
register such shares or to comply with any exemption from such registration,
including those portions of Rule 144 under the Act to be complied with by the
Corporation; (iv) if Rule 144 is available for sales of such shares, and there
is no assurance that the Optionee will ever be able to sell under Rule 144, such
sales in reliance upon Rule 144 may be made only after the shares have been held
for the requisite holding period and then only in limited amounts in accordance
with the conditions of that Rule, all of which must be met; and (v) the Optionee
must, therefore, continue to bear the economic risks of the investment in such
shares for an indefinite period of time after the exercise of the option.

          (c) The Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee has had the
opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers and
representatives of the Corporation concerning all material information
concerning the Corporation and the terms and conditions of the transactions in
which the Optionee is acquiring the option and may subsequently acquire Option
Shares. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Optionee understands that the
Corporation may use the proceeds from the exercise of the option for general
corporate purposes.
 
          (d) Immediately prior to the exercise of all or any portion of the
option, the Optionee shall deliver to the Corporation a signed statement, in a
form satisfactory to the


                                          3

<PAGE>

Corporation, confirming that each of the representations, warranties,
acknowledgments and agreements contained in this Paragraph is true as to the
Optionee as of the date of such exercise.

         (e) The Optionee understands that all certificates representing shares
transferred pursuant to this Agreement, unless made pursuant to an appropriate
Registration Statement under the Act, will bear the following restrictive
legend:

         "The shares represented by this certificate have not been
    registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not
    be transferred or hypothecated without prior registration under said
    Act or an exemption therefrom established to the satisfaction of the
    issuer."

         (f) If the legal counsel of the Corporation, at the request of the
Corporation, advises it that registration under the Act of the shares
deliverable upon the exercise of the option is required prior to delivery
thereof, or that listing of such shares on any exchange is required prior to
delivery thereof, the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such
shares unless and until such legal counsel shall advise that such registration
and/or listing has been completed and is then effective, or is not required.

    11. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is
found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any applicable law, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed as rendering any other
provisions contained herein invalid or unenforceable, and all such other
provisions shall be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the
invalid and unenforceable provision was not contained herein.

    12. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. For purposes of interpreting this
Agreement, the following definitions shall also apply:

          (a) "Exercise Date" means the date on which the Corporation receives
written notice of the exercise of this option together with payment of the
Option Price for the purchased shares.
 
          (b) "Exercise Price" means the Option Price multiplied by the number
of purchased shares.
 
          (c) "Expiration Date" means, unless earlier terminated pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, the day immediately preceding the tenth
anniversary of the Grant Date.
 
          (d) "Option Period" means the period commencing on the Grant Date
and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Paragraph 4, ending on the
close of business on the Expiration Date.

Agreement in duplicate, all as of the date first above written.

                         NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

    THIS AGREEMENT is made as of            ("Grant Date") by and between
INSIGHT HEALTH SERVICES CORP., a Delaware corporation ("Corporation") and 
                     ("Optionee").

                                      WITNESSETH

RECITALS

    A. The stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Corporation ("Board")
have adopted the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan ("Plan") of the Corporation for
the purpose of advancing the interests of the Corporation by providing eligible
individuals with an opportunity to develop a proprietary interest in the
Corporation, which will thereby create strong performance incentives for such
individuals to maximize the growth and success of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries and will encourage such eligible individuals to remain in the
employ of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

    B. The Optionee is a full-time employee of the Corporation or its
subsidiaries, and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to
carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the grant by the
Corporation of a nonstatutory stock option to the Optionee.

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

     1.    GRANT OF OPTION. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set 
forth in this Agreement and the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto, the
Corporation hereby grants to the Optionee, as of the Grant Date, a nonstatutory
stock option to purchase up to (    ) shares ("Option Shares") of the common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation ("Common Stock") from time
to time during the Option Period (as defined below) at the price of $   per 
share ("Option Price").

     2.    OPTION PERIOD. This option shall be exercisable only during the 
Option Period. Subject to Paragraph 5, upon the termination of the Optionee's
employment, this option shall terminate three (3) months after the date of such
termination of employment. In addition, upon the Expiration Date, this option
shall cease to be exercisable and have no further force or effect whatsoever.
    
     3.    VESTING AND EARLY TERMINATION. The Option Shares shall vest at the 
rate of 25% each year following the Grant Date for a period of four (4) years 
and until fully vested, so long as continuously during such time period the 
Optionee remains an employee or independent contractor of the Corporation or any
of its subsidiaries.

<PAGE>

    If the Optionee's employment terminates prior to the end of such four (4) 
year period, then the vested Option Shares shall be fixed at such time, and 
should the calculation result in a fractional share, it shall be rounded 
down to the nearest whole number of shares.

     4.    DEATH OR DISABILITY OF AN OPTIONEE.  If the Optionee's services to 
the Corporation are terminated as a result of the Optionee's death or 
"permanent or total disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), then the Optionee, or the 
executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate or the Optionee's heirs 
or legatees (as the case may be) shall have the right to exercise this option 
with respect to all options theretofore granted to such Optionee, unless 
earlier terminated in accordance with their terms.  In the event of such 
termination, the period for exercising this option shall be a period of 
twelve (12) months commencing with the date of such termination of services, 
provided that in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after 
the Expiration Date.

     5.    TIMING AND METHOD OF EXERCISE.  In order to exercise this option 
with respect to all or any part of the Option Shares for which this option is 
at the time exercisable, the Optionee (or in the case of exercise after the 
Optionee's death, the Optionee's executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as 
the case may be) must comply with the provisions of Section 10 (c) of the 
Plan.  A form of exercise notice is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     6.    SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  Except to the extent otherwise provided 
in Paragraph 4, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit 
of, and be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, devisees, 
legal representatives and assigns of the Optionee and the successors and 
assigns of the Corporation.

     7.    LIABILITY OF CORPORATION.  The inability of the Corporation to 
obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the 
Corporation to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common 
Stock pursuant to this option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability 
in respect of the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such 
approval shall not have been obtained.

     8.    CONSTRUCTION.  This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are 
made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and 
subject to the express terms and provisions of the Plan.

     9.    GOVERNING LAW.  The interpretation, performance and enforcement of 
this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware.

     10.  WARRANTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE OPTIONEE.

          (a)    The Optionee represents, warrants and agrees that the 
Optionee will acquire and hold the Option Shares for the Optionee's own 
account for investment and not with the view to the resale or distribution 
thereof, except for resales or distributions in accordance with federal and 
state securities laws, and that the Optionee will not, at any time or times,


                                     2

<PAGE>

directly or indirectly, offer, sell, distribute, pledge or otherwise grant a 
security interest in or otherwise dispose of or transfer all, any portion of 
or any interest in, any Option Shares (or solicit an offer to buy, take in 
pledge or otherwise acquire or receive, allow all or any portion thereof), 
except pursuant to either (i) a Registration Statement on an appropriate form
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"), which Registration 
Statement has become effective and is current with respect to the shares 
being offered or sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration 
requirements of the Act, the availability of which exemption shall be the 
subject matter of an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the 
Corporation that no registration under the Act is required with respect to 
such offer, sale, distribution, pledge, grant or other disposition or 
transfer.

          (b)    The Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee understands that 
(i) the option has been granted and the shares to be sold to the Optionee 
upon exercise of the option will be sold to the Optionee pursuant exemptions 
from the registration requirements in the Act until such time as the 
Corporation shall file a Registration Statement under the Act which has 
become effective and is current with respect to the shares being offered or 
sold and in this connection the Corporation is relying in part on the 
representations set forth in this Agreement; (ii) such shares must be held 
indefinitely unless they are registered or an exemption from registration 
becomes available under the Act and the securities laws of any state; (iii) 
the Corporation is under no obligation to register such shares or to comply 
with any exemption from such registration, including those portions of Rule 
144 under the Act to be complied with by the Corporation; (iv) if Rule 144 is 
available for sales of such shares, and there is no assurance that the 
Optionee will ever be able to sell under Rule 144, such sales in reliance 
upon Rule 144 may be made only after the shares have been held for the 
requisite holding period and then only in limited amounts in accordance with 
the conditions of that Rule, all of which must be met; and (v) the Optionee 
must, therefore, continue to bear the economic risks of the investment in 
such shares for an indefinite period of time after the exercise of the 
option.

          (c)    The Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee has had the 
opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers and 
representatives of the Corporation concerning all material information 
concerning the Corporation and the terms and conditions of the transactions 
in which the Optionee is acquiring the option and may subsequently acquire 
Option Shares.  The Optionee further acknowledges that the Optionee 
understands that the Corporation may use the proceeds from the exercise of 
the option for general corporate purposes.

          (d)    Immediately prior to the exercise of all or any portion of 
the option, the Optionee shall deliver to the Corporation a signed statement, 
in a form satisfactory to the Corporation, confirming that each of the 
representations, warranties, acknowledgments and agreements contained in this 
Paragraph is true as to the Optionee as of the date of such exercise.

          (e)    The Optionee understands that all certificates representing 
shares transferred pursuant to this Agreement, unless made pursuant to an 
appropriate Registration Statement under the Act, will bear the following 
restrictive legend:


                                     3

<PAGE>

          "The shares represented by this certificate have not been 
     registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be 
     transferred or hypothecated without prior registration under said Act or 
     an exemption therefrom established to the satisfaction of the issuer."

          (f)    If the legal counsel of the Corporation, at the request of 
the Corporation, advises it that registration under the Act of the shares 
deliverable upon the exercise of the option is required prior to delivery 
thereof, or that listing of such shares on any exchange is required prior to
delivery thereof, the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver 
such shares unless and until such legal counsel shall advise that such 
registration and/or listing has been completed and is then effective, or is 
not required.

     11.   SEVERABILITY.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement 
is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any applicable law, 
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed as rendering any 
other provisions contained herein invalid or unenforceable, and all such 
other provisions shall be given full force and effect to the same extent as 
though the invalid and unenforceable provision was not contained herein.

     12.   DEFINITIONS.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall 
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.  For purposes of interpreting 
this Agreement, the following definitions shall also apply:

          (a)    "Exercise Date" means the date on which the Corporation 
receives written notice of the exercise of this option together with payment 
of the Option Price for the purchased shares.

          (b)    "Exercise Price" means the Option Price multiplied by the 
number of purchased shares.

          (c)    "Expiration Date" means, unless earlier terminated pursuant 
to the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, the day immediately preceding the 
tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

          (d)    "Option Date" means the period commencing on the Grant Date 
and, unless earlier termined in accordance with Paragraph 4, ending on the 
close of business on the Expiration Date.

      13.   HOLDING PERIOD FOR OPTIONEES.  Because the grant of this option 
has been approved in advance by the Board, the requirement set forth in 
Section 15 (c) of the Plan is hereby eliminated as no longer necessary for 
compliance with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, as amended.


                                     4
