GAAP, present fairly the financial condition of Photogen and Newco as of such
dates and the results of their operations for such periods, are correct and
complete, and are consistent with their books and records (which books and
records may be correct and complete); provided, however, that the Financial

not been any material adverse change in the Assets, business, financial
condition, operations, results of operations, or future prospects of Photogen or

leased, transferred, or assigned any of the Assets (except as provided in

warrants, or other rights to purchase or obtain (including upon conversion,
exchange, or exercise) any such Membership Interests or Common Stock, as

its directors, officers, or employees; (xiv) experienced or engaged in any other
material occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction; or
(xv) committed to any of the foregoing.
(j) Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither Photogen nor Newco has any Liability
(and there is no Basis for any present or future Liability), except for (i)
Liabilities set forth on the face of the March 31, 1997 Balance Sheet (rather
than in any notes thereto) and (ii) Liabilities which have arisen after March
31, 1997, and then only in the Ordinary Course of Business (none of which
results from, arises out of, relates to, is in the nature of, or was caused by
any breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement, or violation of
law) and which have been disclosed on Sellers' Disclosure Schedule.
(k) Legal Compliance. Photogen and Newco have each complied with all
applicable laws (including rules, regulations, codes, plans, injunctions,
judgments, orders, decrees, rulings, and charges thereunder) of federal, state,
local, and foreign governments (and all agencies thereof), and there is no Basis
for any action, suit,
-6-
<PAGE>
proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, demand, or
notice against it alleging any failure so to comply. Photogen and Newco have
each filed in a timely manner all reports, documents and other materials it
was required to file (and the information contained therein was correct and
complete) under all applicable laws.
(l) Tax Matters. Photogen and Newco have each timely and properly filed
all Tax Returns that it was required to file. All such Tax Returns were correct
and complete in all respects. All Taxes owed by Photogen or Newco (whether or
not shown on any Tax Return) have been paid. Neither Photogen nor Newco is
currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax
Return. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where
Photogen or Newco does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to
taxation by that jurisdiction. Photogen and Newco have each properly withheld
and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with
amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor,
stockholder, or other third party. The unpaid Taxes of Photogen or Newco (i)
did not, as of March 31, 1997, exceed the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than
any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between
book and Tax income) set forth on the face of its March 31, 1997 Balance Sheet
(rather than in any notes thereto) and (ii) will not exceed that reserve as
adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date. All transfer,
documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees
(including any penalties and interest), if any, incurred in connection with the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement shall be paid by Sellers when

(h) Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither MTFI nor Merging Corp. has any
Liability (and there is no Basis for any present or future Liability), except
for (i) Liabilities set forth on the face of the MTFI December 31, 1996 Balance
Sheet (rather than in any notes thereto) and (ii) Liabilities which have arisen
after December 31, 1996, and then only in the Ordinary Course of Business (none
of which results from, arises out of, relates to, is in the nature of, or was
caused by any breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement, or
violation of law) and which have been disclosed in writing to Sellers.
(i) Legal Compliance. MTFI and Merging Corp. have each complied with all
applicable laws (including rules, regulations, codes, plans, injunctions,
judgments, orders, decrees, rulings, and charges thereunder) of federal, state,
local, and foreign governments (and all agencies thereof), and there is no Basis
for any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint,
claim, demand, or notice against it alleging any failure so to comply. MTFI and
Merging Corp. have each filed in a timely manner all reports, documents and
other materials it was required to file (and the information contained therein
was correct and complete) under all applicable laws.

it was required to file. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all
respects. All Taxes owed by MTFI (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have
been paid. MTFI is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time
within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made by an
authority in a jurisdiction where MTFI does not file Tax Returns that it is or
may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. MTFI has properly withheld and
paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with
amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor,
stockholder, or other third party. The unpaid Taxes of MTFI (i) did not, as of
December 31, 1996, exceed the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve
for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and
Tax income) set forth on the face of MTFI's December 31, 1996 Balance Sheet
(rather than in any notes thereto) and (ii) will not exceed that reserve as
adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing date.

MTFI or its agents or representatives set forth or referred to in Schedule 4(k)
which consists of a notebook containing SEC filings on Forms 8-K, 10-QSB and
10-KSB made by MTFI (or its predecessor) since March 31, 1993, the
representations and warranties
-11-

in this Section 4 and the MTFI Disclosure Schedule do not contain any untrue
statement of fact or omit to state any fact necessary in order to make the
statements and information contained therein, or in this Agreement, not
misleading.
5. Disclosures and Exceptions to Representations and Warranties. The
Sellers' Disclosure Schedule and the MTFI Disclosure Schedule are collectively
referred to as the "Disclosure Schedules." Nothing in any Disclosure Schedule
shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or
warranty unless such Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with
reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion
of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose
an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the
representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other
item itself). Each Disclosure Schedule will be arranged in paragraphs
corresponding to the lettered and numbered paragraphs contained in the section
of this Agreement to which such Disclosure Schedule relates.
6. Pre-Closing Covenants.

behalf of the Sellers, Photogen or Newco pursuant to this Agreement; or (B) any
actual or alleged breach of any covenant or agreement of the Sellers, Photogen

any covenant or agreement of MTFI or Merging Corp. in this Agreement or in any
Schedule, certificate, instrument or other document delivered by or on behalf of
MTFI or Merging Corp. pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Matters Involving Third Parties.
(i) If any Person not a party to this Agreement shall notify any
party hereto (the "Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third
Party Claim") which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any
other party hereto (the "Indemnifying Party") under Section 8(b), then the
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in
writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party
in notifying any indemnifying party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from
any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying
Party thereby is prejudiced.
(ii) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the
Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of the Indemnifying
Party's choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided (A)
the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 15 days
after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the
Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the
entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may incur or suffer
resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the
Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party
with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the
Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third
Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the Third
Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other
equitable relief, (D) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the
Third Party Claim is not,
-15-
<PAGE>
in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a
precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business
interests of the Indemnified Party, and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts
the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.
(iii) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense
of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8(c)(ii) above, (A) the
Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense
and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified
Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (C) the Indemnifying
Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).
(iv) In the event any of the conditions in Section 8(c)(ii) above is
or becomes unsatisfied, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against,
and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem
appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any
consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the
Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and
periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will
remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer
resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the
Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 8.
(d) Determination of Adverse Consequences. The parties shall take into
account the time cost of money (using the prime rate in The Wall Street Journal
on the date of the indemnification demand as the discount rate) in determining
Adverse Consequences for purposes of this Section 8.
(e) Other Indemnification Provisions. The foregoing indemnification
provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory,
equitable, or common law remedy or claim for damages any party may have for
breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Each of the Sellers
hereby agrees not to make any claim for indemnification against Newco by reason
of the fact that he was a member, shareholder, director, officer, employee,
manager, or agent of Newco or Photogen or was serving at the request of any such
entity as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee, or agent of another
entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs,
amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses, or otherwise and whether such
claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or
otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or
demand brought by MTFI or Merging Corp. against such Seller (whether such
action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand is pursuant to this
Agreement, applicable law, or otherwise).
9. Termination.
(a) Termination of Agreement. Certain of the parties may terminate this
Agreement as provided below:
(i) MTFI and Smolik acting on behalf of the Sellers may cause this
Agreement to be terminated by mutual written consent at any time prior to the
Closing;
(ii) MTFI or Smolik acting on behalf of the Sellers may terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice to the other parties hereto at any time prior
to the Closing (A) in the event any party (other than the party electing to
terminate) has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in
this Agreement, the terminating party has notified the breaching party of the
breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of 30 days after
the notice of breach or (B) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before
May 31, 1997, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Section
7 hereof applicable to the terminating party's obligation to Close (unless the
failure results primarily from the terminating party itself breaching any
representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement).
(b) Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement
in accordance with Section 9(a), this Agreement shall forthwith terminate and
have no further effect, except (i) to the extent such termination results from
the breach by any party hereto of any of its representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements in this Agreement (in which case the breaching party
shall be liable for all damages allowable at law and any relief available at
equity), and (ii) the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.

action is necessary or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement

party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to
the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of MTFI

prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on
Form 8-K regarding this Agreement and the transactions herein and MTFI may make
any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable law
(in which case MTFI will advise Sellers prior to making the disclosure).

rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties signatory hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns.

the party executing the same. Any party may execute a counterpart of this
Agreement or any other Exhibit or other document contemplated to be executed
hereunder by signature transmitted by telecopier or similar device. Documents
so executed shall (when delivered) be binding upon the party executing the same
and all other parties may rely on such documents as though they were originally
executed.

inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.

filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of Photogen
Technologies, Inc. with a view to effecting registration of the company under
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act.

the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other
situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or
unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of
invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope,
duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases,

each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have
independent significance. If any party has
-18-
<PAGE>
breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any
respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or
covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative
levels of specificity) which the party has not breached shall not detract
from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first
representation, warranty, or covenant.
(o) Incorporation of Recitals, Exhibits, and Schedules. The Recitals,
Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by
reference and made a part hereof.
(p) Specific Performance. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees

terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that
the other parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to
prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in

to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.

jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Chicago, Illinois, in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees
that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in any such court. Each of the parties waives any defense of
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and
waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other
party with respect thereto. Each party appoints CT Corporation System, 208 S.

receive on its behalf service of copies of the summons and complaint and any
other process that might be served in the action or proceeding. Any party may
