            (c) Each grant will specify that the Option Price will be payable
(i) in cash or by check acceptable to the Company, (ii) by the actual or
constructive transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock owned by the
Participant for at least six months (or, with the consent of the Committee,
for less than six months) having an aggregate Market Value per Share at the
date of exercise equal to the aggregate Option Price, (iii) by authorizing
the Company to withhold a number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable

authorization will require the consent of the Committee following the first
public offering after the date hereof of equity securities of the Company
that is registered or required to be registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (a "Public Offering"), or (iv) by a combination of such
methods of payment; provided, however, that the payment methods described in

or not any Stock Options previously granted to such Participant remain
unexercised.

            (f) Each grant will specify the required period or periods of
continuous service by the Participant with the Company or any Subsidiary that
are necessary before the Stock Options or installments thereof will become
exercisable.

            (g) Any grant may specify the Management Objectives that must be

event.

                                       3

<PAGE>

            (i) Stock Options granted under this Section 4 may be (i) options
which are intended to qualify under particular provisions of the Code, (ii)
options which are not intended to so qualify or (iii) combinations of the
foregoing.

            (j) Any grant may provide for the payment to the Participant of
dividend equivalents thereon in cash or Common Stock on a current, deferred
or contingent basis.

            (k) No Stock Option will be exercisable more than ten years from
the Date of Grant.

            (l) Any grant may specify the extent, if any, to which a Stock
Option will remain exercisable after the Participant terminates employment.

            (m) Each grant of Stock Options will be evidenced by an agreement
executed on behalf of the Company by an officer of the Company and delivered
to the Participant and containing such terms and provisions, consistent with
the Plan, as the Committee may approve.

         5. TRANSFERABILITY. Except as otherwise provided in the agreement
evidencing a Participants Stock Option, (i) no Stock Option will be transferable
by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution
and (ii) no Stock Option will be exercisable during the Participants lifetime by
any person other than the Participant, or such persons guardian or legal
representative.

         6. ADJUSTMENTS. After determining whether it is required to do so, the
Committee will make or provide for such adjustments in the maximum number of
shares specified in Section 3 in the numbers of shares of Common Stock covered
by outstanding Stock Options granted hereunder, in the Option Price applicable
to any such Stock Options, and/or in the kind of shares covered thereby
(including shares of another issuer), as the Committee in its reasonable
discretion exercised in good faith, determines is equitably required to prevent
dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants that otherwise would
result from (i) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company, or
(ii) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up,
reorganization or partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of
assets, or (iii) any other corporate transaction or event having an effect
similar to any of the foregoing, excluding in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii), dilution resulting from the issuance of securities by the Company for
consideration. Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event, the
Committee, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all
outstanding Stock Options under this Plan such alternative consideration as it,
in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may
require in connection with such substitution the surrender of all Stock Options
so replaced.

         7. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company will not be required to issue any
fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan. The Committee may provide
for the elimination of fractions or for the settlement of fractions in cash.

         8. WITHHOLDING TAXES. To the extent that the Company is required to
withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment
made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person under the Plan, and
the amounts available to the Company for such

                                       4

<PAGE>

withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such
payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other
person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the
balance of such taxes required to be withheld. In addition, the Participant
or such other person may elect to have any withholding obligation of the
Company satisfied with shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be
transferred to the Participant or such other person in payment of the
Participants Stock Option. In no event, however, will shares of Common Stock
be withheld in excess of the minimum number of shares required to satisfy the
Companys withholding obligation without the consent of the Committee.

         9. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

            (a) Unless the administration of the Plan has been expressly
assumed by the Board pursuant to a resolution of the Board, the Plan will be
administered by the Committee, which at all times will consist of two or more
Directors appointed by the Board, all of whom will qualify as non-employee
directors as defined in Rule 16b-3 (if the Company is then subject to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and as outside directors as
defined in regulations adopted under Section 162(m) of the Code (if Section
162(m) of the Code then applies to the Company), as such terms may be amended
from time to time. A majority of the Committee will constitute a quorum, and
the action of the members of the Committee present at any meeting at which a
quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved in writing, will be the acts
of the Committee.

            (b) The Committee has the full authority and discretion to
administer the Plan and to take any action that is necessary or advisable in
connection with the administration of the Plan, including without limitation
the authority and discretion to interpret and construe any provision of the
Plan or of any agreement, notification or document evidencing the grant of a
Stock Option. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any
such provision and any determination by the Committee pursuant to any
provision of the Plan or of any such agreement, notification or document will
be final and conclusive. No member of the Committee will be liable for any
such action or determination made in good faith.

         10. AMENDMENTS, ETC.

            (a) The Plan may be amended from time to time by the Committee or
the Board but may not be amended without further approval by a majority of
the shareholders of the Company if such amendment would result in the Plan no
longer satisfying any applicable requirements of the New York Stock Exchange
(or any other exchange or market system upon which shares of Common Stock are
listed or admitted to trading), Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no amendment shall adversely affect the terms of any
outstanding Stock Option.

            (b) Neither the Committee nor the Board will authorize the
amendment of any outstanding Stock Option to reduce the Option Price without
the further approval by a majority of the shareholders of the Company.
Furthermore, no Stock Option will be cancelled and replaced with Stock
Options having a lower Option Price without further approval of the
shareholders of the Company. This Section 10(b) is intended to prohibit the
repricing of underwater Stock Options and will not be construed to prohibit
the adjustments provided for in Section 6.

                                       5

<PAGE>

            (c) The Committee may also permit Participants to elect to defer
the issuance of Common Stock or the settlement of Stock Options in cash under
the Plan pursuant to such rules, procedures or programs as it may establish
for purposes of this Plan. The Committee also may provide that deferred
issuances and settlements include the payment or crediting of dividend
equivalents or interest on the deferral amounts.

            (d) The Plan may be terminated at any time by action of the
Board. The termination of the Plan will not adversely affect the terms of any
outstanding Stock Option.

            (e) The Plan will not confer upon any Participant any right with
respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any
Subsidiary, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Company or
any Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate such Participants employment
or other service at any time.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This letter confirms our understanding that Radiologix, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the
"COMPANY"), has engaged you (collectively, the "ADVISORS") to provide such
financial advisory and management services to the Company as are agreed to
from time to time by the Company and each of the Advisors. These services are
to be provided in connection with ongoing business and financial matters,
including operating and cash flow requirements, corporate liquidity and other
ordinary and necessary corporate finance concerns (including acquisition,
advisory and finance matters).

     In consideration for the Advisors agreeing to provide such advisory
services, the Company agrees to pay the Advisors a quarterly non-refundable
fee (the "QUARTERLY FEE"), payable quarterly in advance, with the first such
payment to be made on January 1, 2001, of the greater of (i) $187,500 and (ii)
0.25% of the Company's EBITDA for the previous four quarters, calculated on a
pro forma basis (the "TRAILING EBITDA"), which will in no event exceed
$275,000; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that SKM-RD LLC (together with
its Affiliates, "SKM") no longer beneficially owns, directly or indirectly
("BENEFICIALLY OWNS"), more than 50% of the voting common stock of the Company

<PAGE>

SKM_RD LLC
Audax Management Company, LLC

Page 2

Beneficially Owned by it on the date hereof (adjusted for any stock split,
stock dividend, reclassification or similar event involving the voting common
stock of the Company) (such total amount Beneficially Owned on the date
hereof, "SKM'S OWNERSHIP"), then the Quarterly Fee will thereafter be reduced
to the greater of (i) $93,750 and (ii) 0.125% of the Trailing EBITDA, which
will in no event exceed $137,500; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that in the
event that SKM no longer Beneficially Owns more than 25% of SKM's Ownership,
then the Quarterly Fee will thereafter be reduced to the greater of (i)
$46,8750 and (ii) 0.0625% of the Trailing EBITDA, which will in no event
exceed $68,750. The Quarterly Fee will be allocated between SKM and Audax
Management Company, LLC (together with its Affiliates, "AUDAX") pro rata based
on the aggregate amount of capital contributed to the Company from time to
time by SKM and its affiliates, on the one hand, and Audax and its affiliates,
on the other hand. In addition, the Company agrees to reimburse the Advisors
promptly upon request from time to time for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Advisors in connection with the services to be
rendered by the Advisors pursuant to their engagement hereunder. The
provisions of this paragraph relating to allocation of the Quarterly Fee will
survive the termination of this letter agreement for any reason unless
otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Audax and SKM.

     The annual fee is for financial advisory services to be rendered by the
Advisors and their employees, members and partners and not for any other
services or any such services to be rendered by any other person. Any
additional services to be provided by or on behalf of SKM or Audax, and any
additional fee therefor, must be agreed to in writing by each Advisor, on the
one hand, and the Company, on the other hand. The Advisors will share all such
additional fees in accordance with the allocation provisions set forth in the
immediately preceding paragraph unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Audax
and SKM. The provisions of this paragraph will survive the termination of this
letter agreement for any reason unless otherwise expressly agreed to in
writing by Audax and SKM.

     Contemporaneously with the Closing (as defined in the Amended and
Restated Merger Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2000, by and among the
Company, SKM-RD LLC and SKM Acquisition Corp. (the "MERGER AGREEMENT")), the
Company will (i) pay the

<PAGE>

SKM_RD LLC

Page 3

Advisors a one-time transaction fee of $4,000,000, of which $3,600,000 will be
payable to SKM and $400,000 will be payable to Audax, and (ii) reimburse each
of SKM and Audax for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred
by each in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby.

     The Company also agrees to indemnify the Advisors and certain other
persons and to limit the Advisors' liability to the Company as set forth in
SCHEDULE I hereto which constitutes an integral part of this letter. The
Company's agreements contained or referred to in this paragraph will survive
any termination of this agreement.

     Subject to the provisions that survive termination hereof, this letter
agreement will continue from the date hereof through the date on which SKM no
longer Beneficially Owns more than 10% of SKM's Ownership.

     This agreement will also terminate, at the election of SKM, upon a Change
of Control of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, "CHANGE OF CONTROL"
shall mean and include each of the following: (i) the acquisition, in one or
more transactions, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT")) by
any person or entity or any group of persons or entities who constitute a
group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than
SKM and its affiliates, of any securities of the Company such that, as a
result of such acquisition, such person, entity or group either (A) owns more
than 50% of the Company's outstanding voting securities entitled to vote on a
regular basis for a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the
Company or (B) otherwise has the ability to elect, directly or indirectly,
members of the Board of Directors of the Company entitled to cast a majority
of the votes entitled to be cast by all members of the Board of Directors of
the Company, (ii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company
with any other corporation which has been approved by the shareholders of the
Company, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the total voting power

<PAGE>

SKM_RD LLC

Page 4

represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (iii) the
consummation of a plan of complete dissolution or liquidation of the Company
or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of (in one or more
transactions) all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

     This letter will constitute the entire agreement between the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and will not be terminated
(other than upon SKM's election in connection with a Change of Control as
described above) amended, waived or otherwise modified except in a writing
signed by the Company and each of the Advisors. The terms and conditions of
this letter agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that this letter agreement may not be assigned by either Advisor (other than
to affiliates of such Advisor) without the prior written consent of the
Company and this letter agreement may not be assigned by the Company without
the prior written consent of the Advisors. This agreement will be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without
regard to the conflict of laws rules of such state.

     The Advisors and the individuals acting on their behalf that are actually
providing the services contemplated hereby will be independent contractors,
rather than employees or agents of the Company, and will have only such
authority as is incident to the discharge of the obligations herein
contemplated or specifically authorized form time to time by the Board of
Directors.

     The Company recognizes that the Advisors, their affiliates and the
directors elected or appointed to the Board of Directors by the Advisors or
their affiliates (i) have participated, directly or indirectly, and will
continue to participate in venture capital and other direct investments in
corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and
other entities and other similar transactions, including entities which may be
engaged in business activities in the same industry as, or which could be
considered competitive with, the Company, (ii) may have interests in,
participate with, aid and maintain seats on the board of directors of other
such entities, and (iii) may develop opportunities for such entities

<PAGE>

Page 5

(collectively, the "POSITIONS"). In such Positions, such directors elected or
appointed by the Advisors or their affiliates may encounter business
opportunities that the Company or its stockholders may desire to pursue. The
Company recognizes that such opportunities may include, but will not be
limited to, identifying, pursuing and investing in entities, engaging
investment banking firms or other underwriters for access to public and
private securities markets, and obtaining investment funds from institutional
and private shareholders or others. The Company agrees that the Advisors (and
their affiliates) and the directors elected or appointed by the Advisors or
their affiliates will have no obligation to the Company or to any other Person
to present any such business opportunity to the Company, other than such
opportunities presented to him or her in his or her capacity as a director of
the Company specifically for the benefit of the Company. The Company
acknowledges that, in any such case, to the extent a court might hold that the
conduct of such activity is a breach of a duty to the Company, the Company
hereby waives any and all claims and causes of action that the Company may
have for such activities. The Company further agrees that the waivers and
agreements in this letter agreement identify certain types and categories of
activities which may violate the director's duty of loyalty to the Company,
and such types and categories are not manifestly unreasonable. The waivers and
agreements in this letter agreement apply equally to activities conducted in
the future and that have been conducted in the past.

     For purposes of this Agreement, "affiliate" shall have the meaning
assigned to such term in the Stockholders Agreement (as such term is defined
in the Merger Agreement).

member of the Advisor Group for all such fees and expenses, including the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, in connection with pending or
threatened litigation whether or not any member of the Advisor Group is a
party thereto. The Company will not, however, be responsible for any Losses of
an Advisor and its affiliates to the extent that such Losses are finally
determined by a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to result from
such Advisor's or its affiliates' gross negligence or bad faith. The rights of
the Advisor Group hereunder will not be exclusive of the rights of any member
of the Advisor Group under common law or any other agreement or instrument of
any member of the Advisor Group to which the Company is a party. Nothing in
such other agreement or instrument will be interpreted as limiting or
otherwise adversely affecting a member of the Advisor Group hereunder and
nothing herein will be interpreted as limiting or otherwise adversely
affecting the member of the Advisor Group's rights under common law or any
such other agreement or instrument.

     If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable to a member of
the Advisor Group in respect of any Losses or is insufficient to hold such
member of the Advisor Group harmless, then the Company, in lieu of
indemnifying such member of the Advisor Group, will contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such member of the Advisor Group as a result of such
Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the Company, on the one hand, and such member of the Advisor Group, on the
other hand, in connection with the actions or omissions that resulted in such
Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the Company, on the one hand, and such member of the Advisor Group,
on the other hand, will be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether any action or omission in question has been taken or omitted by the
Company or such member of the Advisor Group, and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge,

                                      A-1

<PAGE>

access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action or
omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses will
be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such
party in connection with any action or proceeding.

     The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant hereto were determined by PRO RATA allocation or by any
other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.

     Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Company also agrees
that the Advisor Group will have no liability to the Company in connection
with the services rendered hereunder (whether in tort, contract or otherwise)
for claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses, including reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel, incurred by the Company unless, and to the
extent, they are finally determined by judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to result from the Advisor Group's gross negligence or bad faith.

     If indemnification is to be sought hereunder by a member of the Advisor
Group, then such member will notify the Company of the commencement of any
action or proceeding in respect thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure
to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability that
it may otherwise have to such indemnified person, except to the extent the
Company shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. Following such
notification, the Company may elect in writing to assume the defense of such
action or proceeding, and upon such election, it will not be liable for any
legal costs subsequently incurred by such member in connection therewith,
unless (i) the Company has failed to provide counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such member in a timely manner or (ii) such member reasonably determines
that representation of such member by counsel provided by the Company pursuant
hereto would present a conflict of interest. In any litigation or proceeding,
the Company will not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one
counsel (together with local counsel) for all members of the Advisor Group
claiming indemnification hereunder in any one jurisdiction, unless any of such
members has a separate and conflicting defense with regard to such litigation
or proceedings, as reasonably determined by the counsel that has been provided
by the Company. The Company will not be liable for any settlement of any
litigation or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, which
consent will not be

                                      A-2

<PAGE>

unreasonably withheld or delayed. Should the Company assume the defense of any
action, the Company will not, without the Advisor Group's prior written
consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or
otherwise seek to terminate such action if such settlement, compromise,
consent or termination imposes obligations on any member of the Advisor Group
(through injunctive relief or otherwise) other than the payment of money or
does not unconditionally release the Advisor Group from liability.
