                  AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of June 28, 2001 (this
"Agreement"), among DIANON SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("DIANON"),
UROCOR ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned
subsidiary of Dianon ("Merger Sub"), and UROCOR, INC., a Delaware corporation
("UroCor").

                                   WITNESSETH:

                  WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of UroCor and Dianon deem it
advisable and in the best interests of each corporation and its respective
stockholders to consummate the business combination transaction provided for
herein;

                  WHEREAS, the combination of UroCor and Dianon shall be
effected by the terms of this Agreement through a merger as described below (the
"Merger");

                  WHEREAS, in furtherance thereof, the respective Boards of
Directors of UroCor and Dianon have approved the Merger, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, pursuant to which each
share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of UroCor ("UroCor Common
Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as
defined in Section 1.3), other than shares owned or held by Dianon, or any of
its Subsidiaries, or by UroCor, will be converted into the right to receive
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Dianon ("Dianon Common
Stock") as set forth in Section 1.7; and

                  WHEREAS, for Federal income tax purposes, it is intended that
the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the
regulations promulgated thereunder.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the
respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in
this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

                       THE MERGER; CERTAIN RELATED MATTERS

                  1.1 THE MERGER.

                  (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL"), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into UroCor at the Effective Time.
Following the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease
and UroCor shall continue as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving
Corporation").

                  (b) At any time prior to the Effective Time, Dianon, in its
sole discretion, may give written notice to UroCor to the effect that the Merger
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be restructured such
that the Merger will be effected through the merger of UroCor with and into
Dianon, with Dianon continuing as the surviving corporation, in which

<PAGE>   6

case the parties hereto shall amend this Agreement to reflect such revised
transaction structure (the "Alternative Merger Structure").

                  1.2 CLOSING. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in Article VI and the termination rights set forth in Article VII, the
closing of the Merger (the "Closing") will take place on the first Business Day
(as defined in Section 8.11(c)) after the satisfaction or waiver (subject to
applicable law) of the conditions (excluding conditions that, by their nature,
cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date) set forth in Article VI, unless this
Agreement has been theretofore terminated pursuant to its terms or unless
another time or date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto (the actual
time and date of the Closing being referred to herein as the "Closing Date").
The Closing shall be held at the offices of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, 100
Maiden Lane, New York, New York, 10038, unless another place is agreed to in
writing by the parties hereto.

                  1.3 EFFECTIVE TIME. As soon as practicable following the
satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable law) of the conditions set forth
in Article VI, at the Closing the parties shall (i) file a certificate of merger
(the "Certificate of Merger") in such form as is required by and executed in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and (ii) make all other
filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective
at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Delaware
Secretary of State or at such subsequent time as Dianon and UroCor shall agree
and as shall be specified in the Certificate of Merger (the date and time the
Merger becomes effective being the "Effective Time").

                  1.4 EFFECTS OF THE MERGER. At and after the Effective Time,
the Merger will have the effects set forth in the DGCL. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the
property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of UroCor and Merger Sub
shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and
duties of UroCor and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties
of the Surviving Corporation.

                  1.5 CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION. The certificate of
incorporation of UroCor, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time,
shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until
thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

                  1.6 BYLAWS. The bylaws of UroCor, as in effect immediately
prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation
until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

                  1.7 EFFECT ON CAPITAL STOCK.

                  (a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without
any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of UroCor Common Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than
shares of UroCor Common Stock owned by Dianon or Merger Sub or held by UroCor,
all of which shall be canceled as provided in Section 1.7(c)), together with the
associated UroCor Rights (as defined in Section 3.2(b)), shall

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   7
be converted into the right to receive that number of validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable shares of Dianon Common Stock and the associated Dianon
Rights (as defined in Section 3.1(b)) (together with any cash in lieu of
fractional shares of Dianon Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.5, the
"Merger Consideration") equal to the Exchange Ratio. The "Exchange Ratio" shall
be determined as follows:

                  (i) If the Dianon Market Price is less than or equal to
         $44.29, the Exchange Ratio shall equal 0.4064, and

                  (ii) If the Dianon Market Price is greater than $44.29, the
         Exchange Ratio shall equal a quotient (rounded to four decimal points),
         the numerator of which is $18.00, and the denominator of which is the
         Dianon Market Price.

For purposes of this Agreement, "Dianon Market Price" shall mean the average
daily closing price per share of Dianon Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq
National Market ("Nasdaq") for the Random Trading Days, "Random Trading Days"
shall mean the five trading days selected by lot out of the fifteen trading days
ending on and including the Determination Date (with Random Trading Days
selected by lot by Dianon and UroCor at 5:00 p.m. New York time on the
Determination Date), and "Determination Date" shall mean the third Nasdaq
trading day preceding the Closing Date.

                  (b) As a result of the Merger and without any action on the
part of the holders thereof, at the Effective Time, all shares of UroCor Common
Stock (together with the associated UroCor Rights) shall cease to be outstanding
and shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a
certificate, which certificate immediately prior to the Effective Time
represented any such shares of UroCor Common Stock and associated UroCor Rights
(a "Certificate"), shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to
such shares of UroCor Common Stock and associated UroCor Rights, except as
provided herein or by law.

                  (c) Each share of UroCor Common Stock issued and owned by
Dianon or Merger Sub or by UroCor, including any treasury shares, at the
Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger, cease to be issued or outstanding
and shall be canceled and retired and no stock of Dianon or other consideration
shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

                  (d) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without
any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time, shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the
Surviving Corporation.

                  1.8 UROCOR STOCK OPTIONS. Each UroCor Stock Option (as defined
in Section 3.2(b)) that was granted pursuant to the UroCor 1992 Plan and the
UroCor 1997 Plan (each as defined in Section 3.2(b)) prior to the Effective Time
(whether vested or not vested) and which remains outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of
UroCor Common Stock and shall be converted, at the Effective Time, into an
option to acquire that number of shares of Dianon Common Stock (an "Assumed
Stock Option") determined by multiplying the number of shares of UroCor Common
Stock subject to

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   8

such UroCor Stock Option by the Exchange Ratio, rounded, if necessary, to the
nearest whole share of Dianon Common Stock, at a price per share (rounded to the
nearest one-hundredth of a cent) equal to the per share exercise price specified
in such UroCor Stock Option divided by the Exchange Ratio; provided, however,
that in the case of any such UroCor Stock Option to which Section 421 of the
Code applies by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code, the
option price, the number of shares subject to such option and the terms and
conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in a manner consistent
with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. On or prior to the
Effective Time, UroCor will take all actions necessary such that all UroCor
Stock Options outstanding prior to the Effective Time under the UroCor 1992 Plan
and the UroCor 1997 Plan are treated in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentences, including, but not limited to, precluding the holder of
each such UroCor Stock Option from receiving any cash payments in respect of
such UroCor Stock Option in connection with the Merger. Each such Assumed Stock
Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect
at the Effective Time, including the expiration date of the option, as the
related UroCor Stock Option; and, in such regard, Dianon acknowledges and agrees
that, upon the Effective Time, each outstanding UroCor Stock Option granted
under the UroCor 1992 Plan shall become fully vested and fully exercisable
regardless of the extent to which such stock option was vested immediately prior
to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, (i) all references to UroCor in
the UroCor 1992 Plan and the UroCor 1997 Plan and in the stock option agreements
evidencing the related UroCor Stock Options shall be deemed to refer to Dianon,
and (ii) Dianon shall assume all of UroCor's obligations with respect to such
UroCor Stock Options as so converted into Assumed Stock Options. Dianon shall
take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number
of shares of Dianon Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Assumed Stock
Options at and after the Effective Time.

                  1.9 CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS. If, between the date of this
Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Dianon Common Stock or UroCor
Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or
different class by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock
split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares or a stock dividend or
dividend payable in any other securities shall be declared with a record date
within such period, or any similar event shall have occurred, the Exchange Ratio
shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of UroCor Common Stock
the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

                  1.10 ASSOCIATED RIGHTS. References in Article I and Article II
of this Agreement to UroCor Common Stock shall include, unless the context
requires otherwise, the associated UroCor Rights and references in Article I and
Article II of this Agreement to Dianon Common Stock shall include, unless the
context requires otherwise, the associated Dianon Rights.

                  1.11 OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF THE SURVIVING CORPORATION. The
directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the
directors of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Merger Sub
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving
Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of
incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their
respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

                                   ARTICLE II

                            EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

                  2.1 EXCHANGE FUND. Prior to the Effective Time, Dianon shall
appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to UroCor to
act as exchange agent hereunder for the purpose of exchanging Certificates for
the Merger Consideration (the "Exchange Agent"). At or prior to the Effective
Time, Dianon shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of
holders of shares of UroCor Common Stock, certificates representing the Dianon
Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.7 in exchange for outstanding shares
of UroCor Common Stock. Dianon agrees to make available to the Exchange Agent
from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional
shares pursuant to Section 2.5 and any dividends and other distributions
pursuant to Section 2.3. Any cash and certificates of Dianon Common Stock
deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the
"Exchange Fund."

                  2.2 EXCHANGE PROCEDURES. The Surviving Corporation shall cause
the Exchange Agent, as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, to mail
to each holder of a Certificate (i) a letter of transmittal which shall specify
that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates
shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent,
and which letter shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as
Dianon may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender
of such Certificates in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration. Upon
surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of
transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions
thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange
Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange
therefor (A) one or more shares of Dianon Common Stock (which shall be in
uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested)
representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has
the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.7 (after taking into account all
shares of UroCor Common Stock then held by such holder) and (B) a check in the
amount equal to the cash that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to
the provisions of this Article II, including cash in lieu of any fractional
shares of Dianon Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.5 and dividends and other
distributions pursuant to Section 2.3, and in each case the Certificate so
surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or will
accrue on any cash payable pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.5. In the event
of a transfer of ownership of UroCor Common Stock which is not registered in the
transfer records of UroCor, one or more shares of Dianon Common Stock
evidencing, in the aggregate, the proper number of shares of Dianon Common Stock
and a check in the proper amount of cash in lieu of any fractional shares of
Dianon Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.5 and any dividends or other
distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3, may be
issued with respect to such UroCor Common Stock to such a transferee if the
Certificate representing such shares of UroCor Common Stock is presented to the
Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect
such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been
paid as the Exchange Agent may require.

                  2.3 DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT TO UNEXCHANGED SHARES. No
dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to shares of
Dianon Common Stock with a

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   10

record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any
unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Dianon Common Stock that
such holder would be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Certificate and
no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of Dianon Common Stock shall be
paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.5 until such holder shall
surrender such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2. Subject to the effect
of applicable laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be
paid to such holder of shares of Dianon Common Stock issuable in exchange
therefor, without interest, (a) promptly after the time of such surrender, the
amount of any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Dianon Common Stock
to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.5 and the amount of
dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time
theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Dianon Common Stock, and
(b) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other
distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such
surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect
to such shares of Dianon Common Stock.

                  2.4 NO FURTHER OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN UROCOR COMMON STOCK. All
shares of Dianon Common Stock issued and cash paid upon conversion of shares of
UroCor Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Article I and this Article
II (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.5) shall be deemed to
have been issued or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the
shares of UroCor Common Stock.

                  2.5 NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OF DIANON COMMON STOCK. (a) No
certificates or scrip or shares of Dianon Common Stock representing fractional
shares of Dianon Common Stock or book-entry credit of the same shall be issued
upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates and such fractional share
interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights of a
stockholder of Dianon or a holder of shares of Dianon Common Stock.

                  (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
each holder of shares of UroCor Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger
who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of
Dianon Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by
such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an
amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of Dianon
Common Stock multiplied by (ii) the closing price for a share of Dianon Common
Stock on the Nasdaq on the date of the Effective Time or, if such date is not a
Business Day, the Business Day immediately following the date on which the
Effective Time occurs. Such cash consideration issued in lieu of fractional
shares will not exceed 1% of the total Merger Consideration.

                  (c) As promptly as practicable after the determination of the
amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of fractional interests, the
Exchange Agent shall so notify Dianon, and Dianon shall cause the Surviving
Corporation to deposit such amount with the Exchange Agent and shall cause the
Exchange Agent to forward payments to such holders of fractional interests
subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof.

                  2.6 TERMINATION OF EXCHANGE FUND. Any portion of the Exchange
Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates for six months
after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Dianon or otherwise on the
instruction of Dianon, and any holders of the Certificates who have not
theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to

Stock formerly represented thereby to which such holders are entitled pursuant
to Section 1.7 and Section 2.2, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Dianon
Common Stock to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.5 and any
dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Dianon Common Stock to
which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.3. Any such portion of the
Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of UroCor Common Stock
five years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to
such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any
Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 3.1(c)(iii)) shall, to the extent
permitted by law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and
clear of any claims or interest of any Person (as defined in Section 8.11(h))
previously entitled thereto.

                  2.7 NO LIABILITY. None of Dianon, Merger Sub, UroCor, the
Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in
respect of any Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public
official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

                  2.8 INVESTMENT OF THE EXCHANGE FUND. The Exchange Agent shall
invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Dianon on a daily
basis; provided, that no such gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts
payable to UroCor stockholders pursuant to Article I and the other provisions of
this Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments
shall promptly be paid to Dianon.

                  2.9 LOST CERTIFICATES. If any Certificate shall have been
lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if
required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in
such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate,
the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of
UroCor Common Stock formerly represented thereby, any cash in lieu of fractional
shares of Dianon Common Stock, and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares
of Dianon Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to this
Agreement.

                  2.10 WITHHOLDING RIGHTS. Each of the Surviving Corporation and
Dianon shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise
payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of UroCor Common
Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the
making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent
that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Dianon, as the case
may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of UroCor Common Stock
in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving
Corporation or Dianon, as the case may be.

                  2.11 FURTHER ASSURANCES. At and after the Effective Time, the
officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to
execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of UroCor or Merger Sub, any

actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the
Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any
of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving
Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

                  2.12 STOCK TRANSFER BOOKS. The stock transfer books of UroCor
shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and there shall be no
further registration of transfers of shares of UroCor Common Stock thereafter on
the records of UroCor. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates
presented to the Exchange Agent or Dianon for any reason shall be converted into
the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of UroCor Common Stock
formerly represented thereby (including any cash in lieu of fractional shares of
Dianon Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to
Section 2.5) and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders
thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.3.

                  2.13 AFFILIATES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no certificates representing
shares of Dianon Common Stock or cash shall be delivered to a Person who may be
deemed an "affiliate" of UroCor in accordance with Section 5.13 hereof for
purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

                                  ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  3.1 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF DIANON. Except as set
forth in the Dianon disclosure schedule delivered by Dianon to UroCor prior to
the execution of this Agreement (the "Dianon Disclosure Schedule") (each section
of which qualifies the correspondingly numbered representation and warranty or
covenant), Dianon represents and warrants to UroCor as follows:

                  (a) Organization, Standing and Power; Subsidiaries.

                  (i) Each of Dianon and each of its Subsidiaries (as defined in

         standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or
         organization, has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and
         operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being
         conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing and in
         good standing or to have such power and authority, in the aggregate,
         would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as
         defined in Section 8.11(f)) on Dianon, and is duly qualified and in
         good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature
         of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes
         such qualification necessary other than in such jurisdictions where the
         failure so to qualify or to be in good standing, in the aggregate,
         would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
         Dianon. The copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of
         Dianon which were

                                      -8-

         previously furnished or made available to UroCor are true, complete and
         correct copies of such documents as in effect on the date of this
         Agreement.

                  (ii) Section 3.1(a)(ii) of the Dianon Disclosure Schedule sets
         forth all of the Subsidiaries of Dianon. All the outstanding shares of
         capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each such Subsidiary
         have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and are,
         except as set forth in Section 3.1(a)(ii) of the Dianon Disclosure
         Schedule, owned directly or indirectly by Dianon, free and clear of all
         pledges, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances, mortgages and security
         interests of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively "Liens") and
         free of any other restriction (including any restriction on the right
         to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or other
         ownership interests), except for restrictions imposed by applicable
         securities laws.

                  (b) Capital Structure.

                  (i) As of June 26, 2001, the authorized capital stock of
         Dianon consisted of (A) 20,000,000 shares of Dianon Common Stock of
         which 7,430,034 shares were outstanding and 10,684 shares were held in
         the treasury of Dianon and (B) 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par

         Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and reserved for issuance
         upon exercise of the rights (the "Dianon Rights") distributed to the
         holders of Dianon Common Stock pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated
         as of April 29, 1994, as amended as of October 4, 1995, between Dianon
         and American Stock and Trust Company (the "Dianon Rights Agreement").
         Since June 26, 2001 to the date of this Agreement, there have been no
         issuances of shares of the capital stock of Dianon or any other
         securities of Dianon other than issuances of shares pursuant to options
         or rights outstanding as of June 26, 2001 under the Dianon Benefit
         Plans (as defined in Section 3.1(q)) of Dianon. All issued and
         outstanding shares of the capital stock of Dianon are, and when shares
         of Dianon Common Stock are issued in the Merger or upon exercise of

         shares will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
         non-assessable and free of any preemptive rights. Except as disclosed
         in Section 3.1(b)(i) of the Dianon Disclosure Schedule, there were
         outstanding as of June 13, 2001 no options, warrants or other rights to
         acquire capital stock from Dianon other than (x) the Dianon Rights and
         (y) options, restricted stock and other rights to acquire capital stock
         from Dianon representing in the aggregate the right to purchase

         Stock Options") under Dianon's 1991 Stock Incentive Plan, 1996 Stock
         Incentive Plan 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, and 2000 Stock Incentive Plan
         (collectively, the "Dianon Stock Option Plans") and under contractual
         commitments to issue options. Section 3.1(b)(i) of the Dianon
         Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and correct list, as of June
         26, 2001, of the number of shares of Dianon Common Stock subject to
         Dianon Stock Options or other rights to purchase or receive Dianon
         Common Stock granted under the Dianon Benefit Plans or otherwise, the
         dates of grant and the exercise prices thereof. Except as set forth in
         Section 3.1(b)(i) of the Dianon Disclosure Schedule, no options,
         warrants or other rights to acquire capital stock from Dianon have been
         issued or granted since June 26, 2001 to the date of this Agreement.
         All Dianon Stock Options are evidenced by stock option agreements in
         the forms attached as Exhibit A to Section 3.1(b)(i) of the Dianon

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   14
         Disclosure Schedule, and no stock option agreement contains terms that
         are inconsistent with such forms.

                  (ii) No bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of
         Dianon having the right to vote on any matters on which stockholders of
         Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries may vote ("Dianon Voting Debt") are
         issued or outstanding or subject to issuance.

                  (iii) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3.1(b)
         (including pursuant to the conversion or exercise of the securities
         referred to above) or as set forth in Section 3.1(b)(iii) of the Dianon
         Disclosure Schedule, (x) there are not issued, reserved for issuance or
         outstanding (A) any shares of capital stock or other voting securities
         of Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries (other than shares of capital
         stock or other voting securities of such Subsidiaries that are directly
         or indirectly owned by Dianon), (B) any securities of Dianon or any of
         its Subsidiaries convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
         shares of capital stock or other voting securities of, or other
         ownership interests in, Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries or (C) any
         warrants, calls, options or other rights to acquire from Dianon or any
         of its Subsidiaries, and no obligation of Dianon or any of its
         Subsidiaries to issue, any capital stock or other voting securities of,
         or other ownership interests in, or any securities convertible into or
         exchangeable or exercisable for any capital stock or other voting
         securities of, or other ownership interests in, Dianon or any of its
         Subsidiaries and (y) there are not any outstanding obligations of
         Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise
         acquire any such securities or to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to
         be issued, delivered or sold, any such securities. Dianon is not a
         party to any voting agreement with respect to the voting of any such
         securities. Other than the capital stock of, or other equity interests
         in, its Subsidiaries, or as set forth in Section 3.1(b)(iii) of the
         Dianon Disclosure Schedule, Dianon does not directly or indirectly
         beneficially own any securities or other beneficial ownership interests
         in any other entity.

                  (c) Authority; No Conflicts.

                  (i) Dianon has all requisite corporate power and authority to
         enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
         contemplated hereby, subject to obtaining the requisite stockholder
         approval of the issuance of the shares of Dianon Common Stock to be
         issued in the Merger (the "Share Issuance"), and in the event the
         Alternative Merger Structure is implemented, the adoption of this
         Agreement and approval of the merger of UroCor with and into Dianon by
         a majority of the outstanding shares of Dianon Common Stock (such
         stockholder approval of (i) the Share Issuance and (ii) this Agreement
         if the Alternative Merger Structure is implemented, together the
         "Dianon Stockholder Approvals"). The execution and delivery of this
         Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
         have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part
         of Dianon, subject to obtaining the Dianon Stockholder Approvals. This
         Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Dianon and
         constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Dianon, enforceable
         against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
         may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
         and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by
         general

                                      -10-
<PAGE>   15
         equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is
         considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

                  (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Dianon
         does not or will not, as the case may be, and the consummation by
         Dianon of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby
         will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or constitute a
         default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or
         give rise to a right of, or result by its terms in, termination,
         amendment, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or the loss
         of a material benefit under, or the creation of a lien, pledge,
         security interest, charge or other encumbrance on, or the loss of, any
         assets, including Intellectual Property Rights (as defined in Section
         3.1(k)) (any such conflict, violation, default, right of termination,
         amendment, cancellation or acceleration, loss or creation, a
         "Violation") pursuant to: (A) any provision of the certificate of
         incorporation or bylaws of Dianon or any Subsidiary of Dianon, or (B)
         except as, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a
         Material Adverse Effect on Dianon, subject to obtaining or making the
         consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations,
         declarations and filings referred to in paragraph (iii) below, (x) any

                  (iii) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or
         registration, declaration or filing with, any supranational, national,
         state, municipal, local or foreign government, any instrumentality,

         authority thereof, or any quasi-governmental or private body exercising
         any regulatory, taxing, importing or other governmental or
         quasi-governmental authority (a "Governmental Entity"), is required by
         or with respect to Dianon or any Subsidiary of Dianon in connection
         with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Dianon or the
         consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated
         hereby, except for those required under or in relation to (A) the

         Laws"), (C) the Securities Act, (D) the Exchange Act of 1934, as

                  (d) Reports and Financial Statements.

                  (i) Dianon has filed all required registration statements,
         prospectuses, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
         required to be filed by it with the SEC since January 1, 1998
         (collectively, including all exhibits thereto, the "Dianon SEC
         Reports"). No Subsidiary of Dianon is required to file any form,
         report, registration statement, prospectus or other document with the
         SEC. None of the Dianon SEC Reports, as of their respective dates (and,
         if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this
         Agreement or the Closing Date, then on the date of such filing),
         contained or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
         omitted or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated
         therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of the
         financial statements (including the related notes) included in the
         Dianon SEC Reports presents fairly, in all material respects, the
         consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations
         and cash flows of Dianon and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the
         respective dates or for the respective periods set forth therein, all
         in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
         consistently applied during the periods involved except as otherwise
         noted therein, and subject, in the case of the unaudited interim
         financial statements, to the absence of notes and normal and recurring
         year-end adjustments that have not been and are not expected to be
         material in amount. All of such Dianon SEC Reports, as of their
         respective dates (and as of the date of any amendment to the respective
         Dianon SEC Report), complied as to form in all material respects with
         the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
         and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

                  (ii) Except as disclosed in the Dianon SEC Reports filed prior
         to the date hereof, since December 31, 2000, Dianon and its
         Subsidiaries have not incurred any liabilities that are of a nature
         that would be required to be disclosed on a balance sheet of Dianon and
         its Subsidiaries or the footnotes thereto prepared in conformity with
         GAAP, other than liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of
         business that, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
         have a Material Adverse Effect on Dianon.

                  (e) Information Supplied.

                  (i) None of the information supplied or to be supplied by
         Dianon for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (A) the Form S-4
         (as defined in Section 5.1) will, at the time the Form S-4 is filed
         with the SEC, at any time it is amended or supplemented or at the time
         it becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
         required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements

         comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the
         Exchange Act and the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of
         the SEC thereunder.

                  (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
         3.1(e), no representation or warranty is made by Dianon with respect to

called and held and not subsequently rescinded or modified in any way (the
"Dianon Board Approval"), has duly (i) determined that this Agreement and the
Merger are advisable and are fair to and in the best interests of Dianon and its
stockholders, (ii) approved this Agreement, the Merger, and the Share Issuance
and (iii) recommended that the stockholders of Dianon approve the Share Issuance
and directed that the Share Issuance be submitted for consideration by Dianon's
stockholders at the Dianon Stockholders Meeting. The Dianon Board Approval
constitutes approval of this Agreement and the Merger for purposes of Section

(which has been rendered inapplicable), no state takeover statute is applicable
to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

of the votes cast by the holders of Dianon Common Stock, provided that the total
votes cast represents a majority of the outstanding shares of Dianon Common
Stock, is the only vote necessary to approve the Share Issuance. In the event
the Alternative Merger Structure is implemented, the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Dianon Common Stock to adopt
this Agreement and approve the merger of UroCor with and into Dianon is the only
vote of the holders of any class or series of Dianon capital stock necessary to
adopt this Agreement and approve such merger.

         refrain from using any Intellectual Property Rights or other
         proprietary information of any other person) which has not been settled
         or otherwise fully resolved. To Dianon's knowledge, no other person has

                  (n) Taxes. Except as would not, individually or in the

         all Tax Returns (as defined below) required to have been filed (or
         extensions have been duly obtained), (B) all Tax Returns filed by
         Dianon, each of its Subsidiaries, and any Dianon consolidated group are
         complete and accurate in all respects, and (C) Dianon has paid or

         such Tax Returns or otherwise owed.

                  (ii) The most recent financial statements filed in the Dianon
         SEC Reports reflect an adequate reserve for all Taxes payable by Dianon
         and its Subsidiaries for all taxable periods and portions thereof
         through the date of such financial statements. No deficiencies for any
         Taxes have been proposed, assessed, or asserted against Dianon, any of
         its Subsidiaries or any Dianon consolidated group that are not
         adequately reserved for, and no requests for waivers of the time to
         assess any such Taxes have been granted or are pending.

                  (iii) The federal income Tax Returns of Dianon, each of its
         Subsidiaries and any Dianon consolidated group have been examined by
         and settled with the United States Internal Revenue Service for all
         years through December 31, 1998. All material assessments for Taxes due
         with respect to such completed and settled examinations or any
         concluded litigation have been fully paid.

                  (iv) Neither Dianon nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken or
         has agreed to take any action or has any knowledge of any fact,
         agreement, plan or other circumstance that is reasonably likely to
         prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the
         meaning of section 368(a) of the Code.

                  (v) Neither Dianon nor any of its Subsidiaries has made a
         distribution or has been the subject of a distribution qualifying or
         intended to qualify for tax-free treatment under section 355 of the
         Code (A) in the two years prior to the date of this Agreement, or (B)
         in a distribution which could otherwise constitute part of a "plan" or
         series of "related transactions" (within the meaning of section 355(e)
         of the Code) that includes the Merger.

                  (vi) There are no Liens for Taxes (other than for current
         Taxes not yet due and payable) on the assets of Dianon or any of its
         Subsidiaries.

         Taxes of any other person under Treasury Regulation section 1.1502-6 or
         comparable provision of foreign, state or local law) except for any
         agreement or liability solely among Dianon and its Subsidiaries.

         correlative meaning, "Taxes") means any federal, state, local or
         foreign income, gross receipts, property, sales, use, license,
         estimated, franchise, employment, payroll, withholding, alternative or
         add on minimum, ad valorem, transfer or excise tax, or any other tax,
         custom, duty, governmental fee or other like assessment or charge of
         any kind whatsoever, together with any interest, penalty, addition to
         tax or additional amount imposed by any governmental authority or any
         obligation to pay Taxes imposed on any entity for which a party to this

         other contractual obligation, and (B) "Tax Return" means any return,
         report or similar statement required to be filed with respect to any

         proposed to be conducted.

                  Each Contract of Dianon and its Subsidiaries is in full force
and effect and is a legal, valid and binding agreement of Dianon or such
Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of Dianon or such Subsidiary, of each other
party thereto, enforceable against Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries, as the
case may be, and, to the knowledge of Dianon, against the other party or parties
thereto, in each case, in accordance with its terms, except for such failures to
be in full force and effect or enforceable that individually or in the aggregate
have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on Dianon. Each of Dianon and its Subsidiaries has performed or is
performing all obligations required to be performed by it under its Contracts
and is not (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) in breach or
default in any

                                      -19-

respect thereunder, and, to the knowledge of Dianon or such subsidiary, no other
party to any of its Contracts is (with or without notice or lapse of time or
both) in breach or default in any respect thereunder except, in each case, for
such breaches that individually or in the aggregate have not had and would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Dianon.

                  (p) Related Party Transactions.

                  Except for Contracts filed as exhibits to Dianon's most recent
annual report on Form 10-K filed with SEC or as set forth in Section 3.1(p) of
the Dianon Disclosure Schedule, no officer, director, stockholder that is a
beneficial owner (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act) of five percent or more of Dianon Common Stock, or affiliate of Dianon or
any of its Subsidiaries nor any relative or affiliate of such officer, director
or stockholder, or, to the knowledge of Dianon, none of its key employees or the
key employees of any of its Subsidiaries, is a party to any agreement, contract,
commitment, arrangement or transaction with Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries or
is entitled to any payment or transfer of any assets from Dianon or any of its
Subsidiaries or has any material interest in any material property used by
Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries or has an interest in any customer, supplier
or provider of any services to Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries.

                  (q) Absence of Changes in Benefit Plans. Since December 31,
2000, there has not been any adoption or amendment by Dianon or any of its
Subsidiaries of any collective bargaining agreement or any bonus, pension,
profit sharing, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, stock ownership,
stock purchase, stock option, phantom stock, retirement, thrift, savings, stock
bonus, restricted stock, cafeteria, paid time off, perquisite, fringe benefit,
vacation, severance, disability, death benefit, hospitalization, medical,
welfare benefit or other plan, arrangement or understanding (whether or not
legally binding) maintained, contributed to or required to be maintained or
contributed to by Dianon, any of its Subsidiaries, or any other person or entity
that, together with Dianon, is treated as a single employer under Section
414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code (a "Dianon Commonly Controlled Entity")
providing benefits to any current or former employee, officer, consultant or
director of Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Dianon Benefit
Plans"), or any change in any actuarial or other assumption used to calculate
funding obligations with respect to any Dianon Pension Plans (as defined below),
or any change in the manner in which contributions to any Dianon Pension Plans
are made or the basis on which such contributions are determined. Except for
Contracts filed as exhibits to Dianon's most recent Form 10-K filed with the
SEC, there are no (1) employment, consulting, deferred compensation,
indemnification, severance or termination agreements or arrangements or
understandings between Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries and any current or
former employee, officer, consultant or director of Dianon or any of its
Subsidiaries or (2) agreements between Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries and any
current or former employee, officer, consultant or director of Dianon or any of
its Subsidiaries, the benefits of which are contingent, or the terms of which
are materially altered, upon the occurrence of a transaction involving Dianon of
a nature contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the "Dianon Benefit
Agreements").

                  (r) ERISA Compliance.

                  (i) Section 3.1(r)(i) of the Dianon Disclosure Schedule
         contains a list of each Dianon Benefit Plan that is an "employee
         pension benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3(2)

                                      -20-
<PAGE>   25
         of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
         ("ERISA")) (sometimes referred to herein as "Dianon Pension Plans"),
         "employee welfare benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA)
         and all other Dianon Benefit Plans and Dianon Benefit Agreements.
         Dianon has made available to UroCor true, complete and correct copies
         of (a) each Dianon Benefit Plan and Dianon Benefit Agreement (or, in
         the case of any unwritten Dianon Benefit Plan or Dianon Benefit
         Agreement a description thereof), (b) the two most recent annual
         reports on Form 5500 filed with the Internal Revenue Service with
         respect to each Dianon Benefit Plan (if any such report was required),
         (c) the most recent summary plan description for each Dianon Benefit
         Plan for which such summary plan description is required and (d) each
         trust agreement and insurance or group annuity contract relating to any
         Dianon Benefit Plan.

                  (ii) In all material respects, each Dianon Benefit Plan has
         been administered in accordance with its terms and in accordance with
         the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, and all other
         applicable laws, including laws of foreign jurisdictions, and the terms
         of all collective bargaining agreements. All Dianon Pension Plans
         intended to be qualified have received favorable determination letters
         from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that such Dianon
         Pension Plans are qualified and exempt from Federal income taxes under
         Sections 401(a) and 501(a), respectively, of the Code, and no such
         determination letter has been revoked nor, to the knowledge of Dianon,
         has revocation been threatened, nor has any event occurred since the
         date of its most recent determination letter or application therefor
         that would adversely affect its qualification or materially increase
         its costs or require security under Section 307 of ERISA. All Dianon
         Pension Plans required to have been approved by any foreign
         Governmental Entity have been so approved; no such approval has been
         revoked (or, to the knowledge of Dianon, has revocation been
         threatened) nor has any event occurred since the date of the most
         recent approval or application therefor relating to any such Dianon
         Pension Plan that would materially affect any such approval relating
         thereto or materially increase the costs relating thereto. Dianon has
         also provided to UroCor a true and complete list of all Dianon Pension
         Plan amendments as to which a favorable determination letter has not
         yet been received. There is no pending or, to the knowledge of Dianon,
         threatened litigation relating to any Dianon Benefit Plan.

                  (iii) No Dianon Pension Plan, other than any Dianon Pension
         Plan that is a "multiemployer plan" within the meaning of Section
         4001(a)(3) of ERISA (a "Dianon Multiemployer Pension Plan"), had, as of
         the respective last annual valuation date for each such Dianon Pension
         Plan, any "unfunded benefit liabilities" (as such term is defined in
         Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA), and there has been no material adverse
         change in the financial condition of any Dianon Pension Plan since its
         last such annual valuation date. No liability under Subtitle C or D of
         Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by the Dianon
         or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any ongoing, frozen or
         terminated "single-employer plan", within the meaning of Section
         4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by any of them,
         or the single- employer plan of any Dianon Commonly Controlled Entity.
         None of Dianon, any of its Subsidiaries, any officer of Dianon or any
         of its Subsidiaries or any of the Dianon Benefit Plans which are
         subject to ERISA, including the Dianon Pension Plans, any trusts
         created thereunder or any trustee or administrator thereof, has engaged
         in a "prohibited transaction" (as such

                                      -21-
<PAGE>   26
         term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or
         any other breach of fiduciary responsibility that could subject Dianon,
         any of its Subsidiaries or any officer of Dianon or any of its
         Subsidiaries to the tax on prohibited transactions imposed by such
         Section 4975 or to any liability under Section 502(i) or 502(l) of
         ERISA. None of such Dianon Benefit Plans and trusts has been
         terminated, nor has there been any "reportable event" (as that term is
         defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) for which the 30-day reporting
         requirement has not been waived with respect to any Dianon Benefit Plan
         during the last five years, and no notice of a reportable event will be
         required to be filed in connection with the Merger or the other
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Dianon nor any of
         its Subsidiaries has incurred a "complete withdrawal" or a "partial
         withdrawal" (as such terms are defined in Sections 4203 and 4205,
         respectively, of ERISA) since the effective date of such Sections 4203
         and 4205 with respect to any Dianon Multiemployer Pension Plan. All
         contributions and premiums required to be made under the terms of any
         Dianon Benefit Plan as of the date hereof have been timely made or have
         been reflected on the most recent consolidated balance sheet filed or
         incorporated by reference in the Dianon SEC Reports. Neither any Dianon
         Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of any Dianon Commonly
         Controlled Entity has an "accumulated funding deficiency" (as such term
         is defined in Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code), whether
         or not waived.

                  (iv) Section 3.1(r)(iv) of the Dianon Disclosure Schedule
         discloses whether each Dianon Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare
         benefit plan is (a) unfunded, (b) funded through a "welfare benefit
         fund" (as such term is defined in Section 419(e) of the Code) or other
         funding mechanism or (c) insured. Dianon and its Subsidiaries, with
         respect to each Dianon Benefit Plan that is a "group health plan" (as
         such term is defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code), comply in all
         material respects with the applicable requirements of Section 4980B(f)
         of the Code.

                  (v) Except as disclosed in Section 3.1(r)(v) of the Dianon
         Disclosure Schedule, none of the execution and delivery of this
         Agreement, the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction
         contemplated by this Agreement (including as a result of any
         termination of employment following the Effective Time) will (x)
         entitle any employee, officer, consultant or director of Dianon or any
         of its Subsidiaries to severance or termination pay, (y) accelerate the
         time of payment or vesting or trigger any payment or funding (through a
         grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase
         the amount payable or trigger any other material obligation pursuant
         to, any of the Dianon Benefit Plans or Dianon Benefit Agreements or (z)
         result in any breach or violation of, or a default under, any of the
         Dianon Benefit Plans or Dianon Benefit Agreements.

                  (vi) Dianon and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all
         material respects with all Federal, state, local and foreign
         requirements regarding employment. Neither Dianon nor any of its
         Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining or other labor
         union contract applicable to persons employed by Dianon or any of its
         Subsidiaries and no collective bargaining agreement is being negotiated
         by Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries. As of the date of this Agreement,
         there is no labor dispute, strike or work stoppage against Dianon or
         any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of Dianon,

                                      -22-
<PAGE>   27

         threatened which may interfere with the respective business activities
         of Dianon or its Subsidiaries. As of the date of this Agreement, to the
         knowledge of Dianon, none of Dianon, any of its Subsidiaries or any of
         their respective representatives or employees has committed an unfair
         labor practice in connection with the operation of the respective
         businesses of Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries, and there is no charge
         or complaint against Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries by the National
         Labor Relations Board or any comparable governmental agency pending or
         threatened in writing.

                  (vii) All reports, returns and similar documents with respect
         to all Dianon Benefit Plans required to be filed with any Governmental
         Entity or distributed to any Dianon Benefit Plan participant have been
         duly and timely filed or distributed. None of Dianon or any of its
         Subsidiaries has received notice of, and to the knowledge of Dianon,
         there are no investigations by any Governmental Entity with respect to,
         termination proceedings or other claims (except claims for benefits
         payable in the normal operation of the Dianon Benefit Plans), suits or
         proceedings against or involving any Dianon Benefit Plan or asserting
         any rights or claims to benefits under any Dianon Benefit Plan that
         could give rise to any liability, and, to the knowledge of Dianon,
         there are not any facts that could give rise to any liability in the
         event of any such investigation, claim, suit or proceeding.

                  (viii) None of Dianon nor any of its Subsidiaries has any
         material liability or obligations, including under or on account of a
         Dianon Benefit Plan, arising out of the hiring of persons to provide
         services to Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries and treating such persons
         as consultants or independent contractors and not as employees of
         Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries.

                  (s) Labor Matters. Except where failure to comply would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Dianon, Dianon is
and has been in compliance with all applicable laws of the United States, or of
any state or local government or any subdivision thereof or of any foreign
government respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions
of employment and wages and hours, including, without limitation, ERISA, the
Code, the Immigration Reform and Control Act, the Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act (the "WARN Act"), any laws respecting employment
discrimination, sexual harassment, disability rights or benefits, equal
opportunity, plant closure issues, affirmative action, workers' compensation,
employee benefits, severance payments, continuation of health insurance
("COBRA"), labor relations, employee leave issues, wage and hour standards,
occupational safety and health requirements and unemployment insurance and
related matters, and is not engaged in any unfair labor practices.

                  3.2 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF UROCOR. Except as set
forth in the UroCor Disclosure Schedule delivered by UroCor to Dianon prior to
the execution of this Agreement (the "UroCor Disclosure Schedule") (each section
of which qualifies the correspondingly numbered representation and warranty or
covenant), UroCor represents and warrants to Dianon as follows:

                                      -23-
<PAGE>   28

                  (a) Organization, Standing and Power; Subsidiaries.

                  (i) Each of UroCor and each of its Subsidiaries is duly
         organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
         jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, has the requisite power
         and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on
         its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to be so
         organized, existing and in good standing or to have such power and
         authority, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a
         Material Adverse Effect on UroCor, and is duly qualified and in good
         standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its
         business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such
         qualification necessary other than in such jurisdictions where the
         failure so to qualify or to be in good standing in the aggregate would
         not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on UroCor.
         The copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of UroCor
         which were previously furnished or made available to Dianon are true,
         complete and correct copies of such documents as in effect on the date
         of this Agreement.

                  (ii) Section 3.2(a)(ii) of the UroCor Disclosure Schedule sets
         forth all of the Subsidiaries of UroCor. All the outstanding shares of
         capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each such Subsidiary
         have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and are,
         except as set forth in Section 3.2(a)(ii) of the UroCor Disclosure
         Schedule, owned directly or indirectly by UroCor, free and clear of all
         Liens and free of any other restriction (including any restriction on
         the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or
         other ownership interests), except for restrictions imposed by
         applicable securities laws.

                  (b) Capital Structure.

                  (i) As of June 15, 2001, the authorized capital stock of
         UroCor consisted of (A) 20,000,000 shares of UroCor Common Stock, of
         which 9,954,113 shares were outstanding and 1,181,188 shares were held
         in the treasury of UroCor and (B) 6,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
         par value $0.01 per share, none of which were outstanding and 50,000
         shares of which have been designated Series I Preferred Stock and
         reserved for issuance upon exercise of the rights (the "UroCor Rights")
         distributed to the holders of UroCor Common Stock pursuant to the
         Rights Agreement dated as of August 17, 1998, between UroCor and
         American Stock Transfer and Trust Company (the "UroCor Rights
         Agreement"). Since June 15, 2001 to the date of this Agreement, there
         have been no issuances of shares of the capital stock of UroCor or any
         other securities of UroCor other than issuances of shares (and
         accompanying UroCor Rights) pursuant to options or rights outstanding
         as of June 15, 2001 under the UroCor Benefit Plans (as defined in
         Section 3.2(r)). All issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock
         of UroCor are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
         non-assessable, and no class of capital stock is entitled to preemptive
         rights. There were outstanding as of June 15, 2001 no options, warrants
         or other rights to acquire capital stock from UroCor other than (x) the
         UroCor Rights and (y) options and other rights to acquire capital stock
         of UroCor representing in the aggregate the right to purchase 1,631,254
         shares of UroCor Common Stock (collectively, the "UroCor Stock
         Options") under the UroCor Second Amended and Restated 1992 Stock
         Option Plan, as amended (the "UroCor 1992 Plan"), and the UroCor

                                      -24-
<PAGE>   29
         1997 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "UroCor
         1997 Plan") (collectively, the "UroCor Stock Option Plans") and under
         contractual commitments to issue options, and (z) the UroCor 1997
         Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "UroCor 1997 ESP Plan"). Section
         3.2(b) of the UroCor Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and
         correct list, as of June 15, 2001, of the number of shares of UroCor
         Common Stock subject to UroCor Stock Options or other rights to
         purchase or receive UroCor Common Stock granted under the UroCor
         Benefit Plans or otherwise, the dates of grant and the exercise prices
         thereof. Except as set forth in Section 3.2(b)(i) of the UroCor
         Disclosure Schedule, no options or warrants or other rights to acquire
         capital stock from UroCor have been issued or granted since June 15,
         2001 to the date of this Agreement. All UroCor Stock Options are
         evidenced by stock option agreements in the forms attached as Exhibit A
         to Section 3.2(b)(i) of the UroCor Disclosure Schedule, and no stock
         option agreement contains terms that are inconsistent with such forms.

                  (ii) No bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of
         UroCor having the right to vote on any matters on which stockholders of
         UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries may vote ("UroCor Voting Debt") are
         issued or outstanding or subject to issuance.

                  (iii) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3.2(b),
         (including pursuant to the conversion or exercise of the securities
         referred to above), (x) there are not issued, reserved for issuance or
         outstanding (A) any shares of capital stock or other voting securities
         of UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries (other than shares of capital
         stock or other voting securities of such Subsidiaries that are directly
         or indirectly owned by UroCor), (B) any securities of UroCor or any of
         its Subsidiaries convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
         shares of capital stock or other voting securities of, or other
         ownership interests in, UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries or (C) any
         warrants, calls, options or other rights to acquire from UroCor or any
         of its Subsidiaries, and no obligation of UroCor or any of its
         Subsidiaries to issue, any capital stock or other voting securities of,
         or other ownership interests in, or any securities convertible into or
         exchangeable or exercisable for any capital stock or other voting
         securities of, or other ownership interests in, UroCor or any of its
         Subsidiaries and (y) there are not any outstanding obligations of
         UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise
         acquire any such securities or to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to
         be issued, delivered or sold, any such securities. UroCor is not a
         party to any voting agreement with respect to the voting of any such
         securities. Other than the capital stock of, or other equity interests
         in, its Subsidiaries, or as set forth in Section 3.2(b)(iii) of the
         UroCor Disclosure Schedule, UroCor does not directly or indirectly
         beneficially own any securities or other beneficial ownership interests
         in any other entity.

                  (c) Authority; No Conflicts.

                  (i) UroCor has all requisite corporate power and authority to
         enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
         contemplated hereby, including the Alternative Merger Structure, if
         implemented, subject in the case of the consummation of the Merger to
         the adoption of this Agreement by the Required UroCor Vote (as defined
         in Section 3.2(g)). The execution and delivery of this Agreement and
         the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly
         authorized by all necessary

         corporate action on the part of UroCor, subject in the case of the
         consummation of the Merger to the adoption of this Agreement by the
         Required UroCor Vote. This Agreement has been duly executed and
         delivered by UroCor and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of
         UroCor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as
         such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting
         creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless of
         whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or
         at law).

                  (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by UroCor
         does not or will not, as the case may be, and the consummation by
         UroCor of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby
         will not, conflict with, or result in a Violation pursuant to: (A) any
         provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of UroCor or
         any Subsidiary of UroCor or (B) except as, in the aggregate, would not
         reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on UroCor,
         subject to obtaining or making the consents, approvals, orders,
         authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings referred to in
         paragraph (iii) below, (x) any Contract applicable to UroCor or any of
         its Subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, (y) any
         judgment, order or decree or (z) any statute, law, ordinance, rule or
         regulation, in each case applicable to UroCor or any of its
         Subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets.

                  (iii) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or
         registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is
         required by or with respect to UroCor or any Subsidiary of UroCor in
         connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by UroCor
         or the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
         contemplated hereby, including the Alternative Merger Structure, if
         implemented, except for the Necessary Consents and such consents,
         approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and
         filings the failure of which to make or obtain, in the aggregate, would
         not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on UroCor.

                  (d) Reports and Financial Statements.

                  (i) UroCor has filed all required registration statements,
         prospectuses, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
         required to be filed by it with the SEC since January 1, 1998
         (collectively, including all exhibits thereto, the "UroCor SEC
         Reports"). No Subsidiary of UroCor is required to file any form,
         report, registration statement or prospectus or other document with the
         SEC. None of the UroCor SEC Reports, as of their respective dates (and,
         if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this
         Agreement or the Closing Date, then on the date of such filing),
         contained or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
         omitted or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated
         therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of the
         financial statements (including the related notes) included in the
         UroCor SEC Reports presents fairly, in all material respects, the
         consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations
         and cash flows of UroCor and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the
         respective dates or for the respective periods set forth therein, all
         in conformity with GAAP consistently applied during the periods
         involved except as

                                      -26-
<PAGE>   31
         otherwise noted therein, and subject, in the case of the unaudited
         interim financial statements, to the absence of notes and normal and
         recurring year-end adjustments that have not been and are not expected
         to be material in amount. All of such UroCor SEC Reports, as of their
         respective dates (and as of the date of any amendment to the respective
         UroCor SEC Report), complied as to form in all material respects with
         the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
         and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

                  (ii) Except as disclosed in the UroCor SEC Reports filed prior
         to the date hereof, since December 31, 2000, UroCor and its
         Subsidiaries have not incurred any liabilities that are of a nature
         that would be required to be disclosed on a balance sheet of UroCor and
         its Subsidiaries or the footnotes thereto prepared in conformity with
         GAAP, other than liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of
         business that, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
         have a Material Adverse Effect on UroCor.

                  (iii) The total amount of UroCor's long term debt outstanding
         as of May 31, 2001 was $1,100,000, consisting of the non-current
         portion of lease obligations and deferred compensation, and such amount
         will not exceed $1,100,000 as of the Effective Time.

                  (e) Information Supplied.

                  (i) None of the information supplied or to be supplied by
         UroCor for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (A) the Form S-4
         will, at the time the Form S-4 is filed with the SEC, at any time it is
         amended or supplemented or at the time it becomes effective under the
         Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
         to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
         to make the statements therein not misleading, and (B) the Joint Proxy
         Statement/Prospectus will, on the date it is first mailed to UroCor
         stockholders or Dianon stockholders or at the time of the UroCor
         Stockholders Meeting or the Dianon Stockholders Meeting, contain any
         untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
         required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
         statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
         made, not misleading. The UroCor Proxy Statement included in the Form
         S-4 and in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will comply as to form
         in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and
         the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

                  (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
         3.2(e), no representation or warranty is made by UroCor with respect to
         statements made or incorporated by reference in the Form S-4 or the
         Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus based on information supplied by
         Dianon or Merger Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference
         therein.

                  (f) Board Approval. The Board of Directors of UroCor, by
resolutions duly adopted by unanimous vote of those voting at a meeting duly
called and held and not subsequently rescinded or modified in any way (the
"UroCor Board Approval"), has duly (i) determined that this Agreement and the
Merger are advisable and are fair to and in the best

                                      -27-
<PAGE>   32
interests of UroCor and its stockholders, (ii) approved this Agreement and the
Merger and (iii) recommended that the stockholders of UroCor adopt this
Agreement and approve the Merger and directed that this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby be submitted for consideration by UroCor's
stockholders at the UroCor Stockholders Meeting. The UroCor Board Approval
constitutes approval of this Agreement and the Merger for purposes of Section
203 of the DGCL. To the knowledge of UroCor, except for Section 203 of the DGCL
(which has been rendered inapplicable), no state takeover statute is applicable
to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.

                  (g) Vote Required. The affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of UroCor Common Stock to adopt this
Agreement and approve the Merger is the only vote of the holders of any class or
series of UroCor capital stock necessary to adopt this Agreement and approve the
Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. In the event the
Alternative Merger Structure is implemented, the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of UroCor Common Stock to adopt this
Agreement and approve the merger of UroCor with and into Dianon is the only vote
of the holders of any class or series of UroCor capital stock necessary to adopt
this Agreement and approve such merger. As used herein, the "Required UroCor
Vote" shall mean the vote described in the first sentence of this Section
3.2(g), unless the Alternative Merger Structure is implemented, in which case
such term shall mean the vote described in the second sentence of this Section
3.2(g).

                  (h) Litigation; Compliance with Laws.

                  (i) Except as disclosed in the UroCor SEC Reports filed prior
         to the date of this Agreement, there are no (a) Actions pending or, to
         the knowledge of UroCor, threatened, against or affecting UroCor or any
         Subsidiary of UroCor which, in the aggregate, would reasonably be
         expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on UroCor, or (b) judgments,
         decrees, injunctions, rules or orders of any Governmental Entity or
         arbitrator outstanding against UroCor or any Subsidiary of UroCor
         which, in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a
         Material Adverse Effect on UroCor.

                  (ii) Except as disclosed in the UroCor SEC Reports filed prior
         to the date of the Agreement and except as would, in the aggregate, not
         reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on UroCor,
         UroCor and its Subsidiaries hold all permits, licenses, variances,
         exemptions, orders and approvals of all Governmental Entities necessary
         for the operation of the businesses of UroCor and its Subsidiaries,
         taken as a whole (the "UroCor Permits"). UroCor and its Subsidiaries
         are in compliance with the terms of the UroCor Permits, except where
         the failures to so comply, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
         expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on UroCor. Except as
         disclosed in the UroCor SEC Reports filed prior to the date of this
         Agreement, neither UroCor nor its Subsidiaries is in violation of, and
         UroCor and its Subsidiaries have not received any notices of violations
         with respect to, any laws, ordinances or regulations of any
         Governmental Entity, except for violations which, in the aggregate,
         would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
         UroCor.

                  (i) Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except for
liabilities incurred in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, or as disclosed in the

their business only in the ordinary course and (ii) there has not been any
action taken by UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries during the period from

Reports filed prior to the date of this Agreement, since December 31, 2000,
there has not been (1) any changes, circumstances or events which, in the
aggregate, have had, or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

Subsidiaries to any current or former director, consultant, executive officer or

granting by UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries to any such current or former
director, consultant, executive officer or employee of any increase in severance
or termination pay, (C) any amendment to, or modification of, any UroCor Stock
Option, (D) any adoption of, or amendment to, a UroCor Benefit Plan or UroCor
Benefit Agreements, or (E) any payment of a bonus or other benefit to any

would reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities, (iv) to the

         Subsidiaries has materially interfered with, infringed upon,
         misappropriated or otherwise come into conflict with any Intellectual
         Property Rights or other proprietary information of any other person.
         Neither UroCor nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written
         charge, complaint, claim, demand or notice alleging any such
         interference, infringement, misappropriation or other conflict
         (including any claim that UroCor or any such Subsidiary must license or
         refrain from using any Intellectual Property Rights or other
         proprietary information of any other person) which has not been settled
         or otherwise fully resolved. To UroCor's knowledge, no other person has
         materially interfered with, infringed upon, misappropriated or
         otherwise come into conflict with any Intellectual Property Rights of
         UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries.

                  (ii) As the business of UroCor and its Subsidiaries is
         presently conducted and proposed to be conducted without giving effect
         to any change with respect thereto that may be made by Dianon, to

         of the business of UroCor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will
         not interfere with, infringe upon, misappropriate or otherwise come

expenses will be paid by UroCor in accordance with UroCor's agreements with such
firm, copies of which have been provided to Dianon.

<PAGE>   35
                  (m) Opinion of UroCor Financial Advisor. UroCor has received
the opinion of U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray, Inc. dated the date of this
Agreement, to the effect that, as of such date, the Exchange Ratio is fair, from
a financial point of view, to the holders of UroCor Common Stock, a copy of

                  (n) Taxes. Except as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on UroCor:

         filed or caused to be filed in accordance with applicable law when due
         all Tax Returns required to have been filed (or extensions have been
         duly obtained), (B) all Tax Returns filed by UroCor, each of its
         Subsidiaries, and any UroCor consolidated group are complete and
         accurate in all respects, and (C) UroCor has paid or caused to be paid
         when due all Taxes shown due on such Tax Returns or otherwise owed.

                  (ii) The most recent financial statements filed in the UroCor
         SEC Reports reflect an adequate reserve for all Taxes payable by UroCor
         and its Subsidiaries for all taxable periods and portions thereof
         through the date of such financial statements. No deficiencies for any
         Taxes have been proposed, assessed, or asserted against UroCor, any of
         its Subsidiaries or any UroCor consolidated group that are not
         adequately reserved for, and no requests for waivers of the time to
         assess any such Taxes have been granted or are pending.

                  (iii) The federal income Tax Returns of UroCor, each of its
         Subsidiaries and any UroCor consolidated group have been examined by
         and settled with the United States Internal Revenue Service for all
         years through December 31, 1998. All material assessments for Taxes due
         with respect to such completed and settled examinations or any
         concluded litigation have been fully paid.

                  (iv) Neither UroCor nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken or
         has agreed to take any action or has any knowledge of any fact,
         agreement, plan or other circumstance that is reasonably likely to
         prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the
         meaning of section 368(a) of the Code.

                  (v) Neither UroCor nor any of its Subsidiaries has made a
         distribution or has been the subject of a distribution qualifying or
         intended to qualify for tax-free treatment under section 355 of the
         Code (A) in the two years prior to the date of this Agreement, or (B)
         in a distribution which could otherwise constitute part of a "plan" or
         series of "related transactions" (within the meaning of section 355(e)
         of the Code) that includes the Merger.

                  (vi) There are no Liens for Taxes (other than for current
         Taxes not yet due and payable) on the assets of UroCor or any of its
         Subsidiaries.

                  (vii) None of UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party to
         or bound by any tax sharing agreement, tax indemnity obligation or
         similar agreement, arrangement or practice (including any liability for
         Taxes of any other person under Treasury Regulation

                                      -31-

         section 1.1502-6 or comparable provision of foreign, state or local
         law) except for any agreement or liability solely among UroCor and its
         Subsidiaries.

                  (o) Contracts. Except for Contracts filed as exhibits to
UroCor's most recent annual report on Form 10-K or the most recent report on
Form 10-Q filed with SEC or as set forth in Section 3.2(o) of the UroCor
Disclosure Schedule, as of the date of this Agreement, none of UroCor or any of

         or any of its Subsidiaries or of any affiliate of UroCor or any of its
         Subsidiaries or (C) any affiliate of any such Person (other than (w)
         contracts on arm's-length terms with companies whose common stock is
         publicly traded, (x) offer letters providing solely for "at will"
         employment, (y) invention assignment and confidentiality agreements
         relating to the assignment of inventions to UroCor or any of its
         Subsidiaries not involving the payment of money and (z) UroCor Benefit
         Plans referred to in Section 3.2(r));

                  (v) license or franchise granted by UroCor or any of its
         Subsidiaries pursuant to which UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries has

         of UroCor and its Subsidiaries that requires consent, approval or
         waiver of or notice to a third party in the event of or with respect to
         the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement, including in order to avoid termination of or a loss of
         material benefit under any such Contract;

                  (viii) Contract or other agreement, whether written or oral,
         that contains any guarantees as to UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries'
         future revenues;

                  (ix) Contract granting a third party any license to
         Intellectual Property Rights that is not limited to the internal use of
         such third party;

                  (x) Contract in respect of any joint venture, partnership,
         business alliance or similar arrangement between UroCor or any of its
         Subsidiaries and any third party;

                  (xi) except for the Confidentiality Agreement, Contract
         providing for a "standstill" or for confidential treatment by UroCor or
         any of its Subsidiaries of third party information other than
         non-disclosure agreements and provisions entered into by UroCor in the
         ordinary course of business consistent with past practice;

                  (xii) Contract granting the other party to such Contract or a
         third party "most favored nation" status that, following the Merger,
         would in any way apply to Dianon or any of its Subsidiaries (other than
         UroCor and its Subsidiaries and their products or services); or

                  (xiii) Contract which (i) has aggregate future sums due from
         UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries in excess of $100,000 and is not
         terminable by UroCor or any such subsidiary for a cost of less than
         $100,000 or (ii) is otherwise material to the business of UroCor and
         its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as presently conducted or as
         proposed to be conducted.

                  Each Contract of UroCor and its Subsidiaries is in full force
and effect and is a legal, valid and binding agreement of UroCor or such
subsidiary and, to the knowledge of UroCor or such subsidiary, of each other
party thereto, enforceable against UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries, as the
case may be, and, to the knowledge of UroCor, against the other party or parties
thereto, in each case, in accordance with its terms, except for such failures to
be in full force and effect or enforceable that individually or in the aggregate
have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on UroCor. Each of UroCor and its Subsidiaries has performed or is
performing all obligations required to be performed by it under its Contracts
and is not (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) in breach or
default in any respect thereunder, and, to the knowledge of UroCor or such
subsidiary, no other party to any of its Contracts is (with or without notice or
lapse of time or both) in breach or default in any respect thereunder except, in
each case, for such breaches that individually or in the aggregate have not had
and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
UroCor.

                  (p) Related Party Transactions.

                  Except for Contracts filed as exhibits to UroCor's most recent
annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC or as set forth in Section 3.2(p)
of the UroCor Disclosure Schedule, no officer, director, stockholder that is a
beneficial owner (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act) of five percent or more of UroCor Common Stock, or affiliate of UroCor or
any of its Subsidiaries nor any relative or affiliate of such officer, director
or stockholder, or, to the knowledge of UroCor, none of its key employees or the
key employees of any of its Subsidiaries, is a party to any agreement, contract,
commitment, arrangement or transaction with UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries or
is entitled to

                                      -33-
<PAGE>   38

any payment or transfer of any assets from UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries or
has any material interest in any material property used by UroCor or any of its
Subsidiaries or has an interest in any customer, supplier or provider of any
services to UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries.

                  (q) UroCor Stockholder Rights Plan. The Board of Directors of
UroCor has amended the UroCor Rights Agreement in accordance with its terms to
render it inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
UroCor has delivered to Dianon a true, complete and correct copy of the UroCor
Rights Agreement, as amended, in effect as of execution and delivery of this
Agreement.

                  (r) Absence of Changes in Benefit Plans. Since December 31,
2000, except for the UroCor 2001 Bonus Plan, there has not been any adoption or
amendment by UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries of any collective bargaining
agreement or any bonus, pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation,
incentive compensation, stock ownership, stock purchase, stock option, phantom
stock, retirement, thrift, savings, stock bonus, restricted stock, cafeteria,
paid time off, perquisite, fringe benefit, vacation, severance, disability,
death benefit, hospitalization, medical, welfare benefit or other plan,
arrangement or understanding (whether or not legally binding) maintained,
contributed to or required to be maintained or contributed to by UroCor, any of
its Subsidiaries, or any other person or entity that, together with UroCor, is
treated as a single employer under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code
(a "UroCor Commonly Controlled Entity") providing benefits to any current or
former employee, officer, consultant or director of UroCor or any of its
Subsidiaries (collectively, the "UroCor Benefit Plans"), or any change in any
actuarial or other assumption used to calculate funding obligations with respect
to any UroCor Pension Plans (as defined below), or any change in the manner in
which contributions to any UroCor Pension Plans are made or the basis on which
such contributions are determined. Except for Contracts filed as exhibits to
UroCor's most recent annual report in Form 10-K or most recent report on Form
10-Q filed with the SEC, Contracts described in Section 3.2(r) of the UroCor
Disclosure Schedule or the UroCor 2001 Bonus Plan, there are no (1) employment,
consulting, deferred compensation, indemnification, severance or termination
agreements or arrangements or understandings between UroCor or any of its
Subsidiaries and any current or former employee, officer, consultant or director
of UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries or (2) any agreement between UroCor or any
of its Subsidiaries and any current or former employee, officer, consultant or
director of UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries, the benefits of which are
contingent, or the terms of which are materially altered, upon the occurrence of
a transaction involving UroCor of a nature contemplated by this Agreement
(collectively, the "UroCor Benefit Agreements").

                  (s) ERISA Compliance; Excess Parachute Payments.

                  (i) Section 3.2(s)(i) of the UroCor Disclosure Schedule
         contains a list of each UroCor Benefit Plan that is an "employee
         pension benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3(2) of the Employee
         Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"))
         (sometimes referred to herein as "UroCor Pension Plans"), "employee
         welfare benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) and all
         other UroCor Benefit Plans and UroCor Benefit Agreements. UroCor has
         made available to Dianon true, complete and correct copies of (a) each
         UroCor Benefit Plan and UroCor Benefit Agreement (or, in the case of
         any unwritten UroCor Benefit Plan or UroCor Benefit Agreement a
         description

                                      -34-
<PAGE>   39
         thereof), (b) the two most recent annual reports on Form 5500 filed
         with the Internal Revenue Service with respect to each UroCor Benefit
         Plan (if any such report was required), (c) the most recent summary
         plan description for each UroCor Benefit Plan for which such summary
         plan description is required and (d) each trust agreement and insurance
         or group annuity contract relating to any UroCor Benefit Plan.

                  (ii) In all material respects, each UroCor Benefit Plan has
         been administered in accordance with its terms and in accordance with
         the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, and all other
         applicable laws, including laws of foreign jurisdictions, and the terms
         of all applicable collective bargaining agreements. All UroCor Pension
         Plans intended to be qualified have received favorable determination
         letters from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that such
         UroCor Pension Plans are qualified and exempt from Federal income taxes
         under Sections 401(a) and 501(a), respectively, of the Code, and no
         such determination letter has been revoked nor, to the knowledge of
         UroCor, has revocation been threatened, nor has any event occurred
         since the date of its most recent determination letter or application
         therefor that would adversely affect its qualification or materially
         increase its costs or require security under Section 307 of ERISA. All
         UroCor Pension Plans required to have been approved by any foreign
         Governmental Entity have been so approved; no such approval has been
         revoked (or, to the knowledge of UroCor, has revocation been
         threatened) nor has any event occurred since the date of the most
         recent approval or application therefor relating to any such UroCor
         Pension Plan that would materially affect any such approval relating
         thereto or materially increase the costs relating thereto. UroCor has
         made available to Dianon a true and complete copy of the most recent
         determination letter received with respect to each UroCor Pension Plan,
         as well as a true and complete copy of each pending application for a
         determination letter, if any. UroCor has also made available to Dianon
         a true and complete list of all UroCor Pension Plan amendments as to
         which a favorable determination letter has not yet been received. There
         is no pending or, to the knowledge of UroCor, threatened litigation
         relating to any UroCor Benefit Plan.

                  (iii) No UroCor Pension Plan, other than any UroCor Pension
         Plan that is a "multiemployer plan" within the meaning of Section
         4001(a)(3) of ERISA (a "UroCor Multiemployer Pension Plan"), had, as of
         the respective last annual valuation date for each such UroCor Pension
         Plan, any "unfunded benefit liabilities" (as such term is defined in
         Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA), based on actuarial assumptions that have
         been furnished to Dianon, and there has been no material adverse change
         in the financial condition of any UroCor Pension Plan since its last
         such annual valuation date. No liability under Subtitle C or D of Title
         IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by the UroCor or any
         of its Subsidiaries with respect to any ongoing, frozen or terminated
         "single-employer plan", within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of
         ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by any of them, or the single-
         employer plan of any UroCor Commonly Controlled Entity. None of UroCor,
         any of its Subsidiaries, any officer of UroCor or any of its
         Subsidiaries or any of the UroCor Benefit Plans which are subject to
         ERISA, including the UroCor Pension Plans, any trusts created
         thereunder or any trustee or administrator thereof, has engaged in a
         "prohibited transaction" (as such term is defined in Section 406 of
         ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or any other breach of fiduciary
         responsibility that could subject UroCor, any of its Subsidiaries or

                                      -35-
<PAGE>   40
         any officer of UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries to the tax on
         prohibited transactions imposed by such Section 4975 or to any
         liability under Section 502(i) or 502(l) of ERISA. None of such UroCor
         Benefit Plans and trusts has been terminated, nor has there been any
         "reportable event" (as that term is defined in Section 4043 of ERISA)
         for which the 30-day reporting requirement has not been waived with
         respect to any UroCor Benefit Plan during the last five years, and no
         notice of a reportable event will be required to be filed in connection
         with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement. Neither UroCor nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred a
         "complete withdrawal" or a "partial withdrawal" (as such terms are
         defined in Sections 4203 and 4205, respectively, of ERISA) since the
         effective date of such Sections 4203 and 4205 with respect to any
         UroCor Multiemployer Pension Plan. All contributions and premiums
         required to be made under the terms of any UroCor Benefit Plan as of
         the date hereof have been timely made or have been reflected on the
         most recent consolidated balance sheet filed or incorporated by
         reference in the UroCor SEC Reports. Neither any UroCor Pension Plan
         nor any single-employer plan of any UroCor Commonly Controlled Entity
         has an "accumulated funding deficiency" (as such term is defined in
         Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code), whether or not
         waived.

                  (iv) Section 3.2(s)(iv) of the UroCor Disclosure Schedule
         discloses whether each UroCor Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare
         benefit plan is (a) unfunded, (b) funded through a "welfare benefit
         fund" (as such term is defined in Section 419(e) of the Code) or other
         funding mechanism or (c) insured. In the case of each such UroCor
         Benefit Plan that is funded through a trust, the trust has received a
         favorable determination letter determining the trust to be tax-exempt
         under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code, and such determination letter is
         currently valid. UroCor has made available to Dianon a copy of each
         such determination letter. Any such trust, or any other "welfare
         benefit fund", is in compliance with all applicable provisions of ERISA
         and the Code. UroCor and its Subsidiaries, with respect to each UroCor
         Benefit Plan that is a "group health plan" (as such term is defined in
         Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code), comply in all material respects with
         the applicable requirements of Section 4980B(f) of the Code. Each
         UroCor Benefit Plan (including any such plan covering retirees or other
         former employees) that is an employee welfare benefit plan may be
         amended or terminated without material liability to UroCor or any of
         its Subsidiaries on or at any time after the Effective Time. Except as
         required under Section 4980B of the Code, neither UroCor nor any of its
         Subsidiaries has any obligations for retiree health or retiree life
         insurance benefits under any UroCor Benefit Plan or UroCor Benefit
         Agreement.

                  (v) Except as set forth in Section 3.2(s)(v) of the UroCor
         Disclosure Schedule, none of the execution and delivery of this
         Agreement, the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction
         contemplated by this Agreement (including as a result of any
         termination of employment following the Effective Time) will (x)
         entitle any employee, officer, consultant or director of UroCor or any
         of its Subsidiaries to severance or termination pay, (y) accelerate the
         time of payment or vesting or trigger any payment or funding (through a
         grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase
         the amount payable or trigger any other material obligation pursuant
         to, any of the UroCor Benefit Plans or UroCor Benefit Agreements or (z)
         result in any breach or

                                      -36-
<PAGE>   41
         violation of, or a default under, any of the UroCor Benefit Plans or
         UroCor Benefit Agreements.

                  (vi) Except as set forth in Section 3.2(s)(vi) of the UroCor
         Disclosure Schedule, no amount or other entitlement or economic benefit
         that could be received (whether in cash or property or the vesting of
         property) as a result of the Merger or any other transaction
         contemplated by this Agreement (including as a result of termination of
         employment on or following the Effective Time) by or for the benefit of
         any employee, officer, director or consultant of UroCor or any of its
         affiliates who is a "disqualified individual" (as such term is defined
         in proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1) under any UroCor
         Benefit Plan or UroCor Benefit Agreement or otherwise would be
         characterized as an "excess parachute payment" (as defined in Section
         280G(b)(1) of the Code), and no disqualified individual is entitled to
         receive any additional payment from UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries
         in the event that the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code is
         imposed on such disqualified individual. Set forth in Section
         3.2(s)(vi) of the UroCor Disclosure Schedule is (a) the estimated
         maximum amount that could be paid to each such "disqualified
         individual" and each other person listed in Section 3.2(s)(vi) (each a
         "Primary UroCor Executive") as a result of the Merger and the other
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including as a result of a
         termination of employment on or following the Effective Time) under all
         UroCor Benefit Plans and UroCor Benefit Agreements and (b) the "base
         amount" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) for each Primary
         UroCor Executive calculated as of the date of this Agreement.

                  (vii) UroCor and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all
         material respects with all Federal, state, local and foreign
         requirements regarding employment. Neither UroCor nor any of its
         Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining or other labor
         union contract applicable to persons employed by UroCor or any of its
         Subsidiaries and no collective bargaining agreement is being negotiated
         by UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries. As of the date of this Agreement,
         there is no labor dispute, strike or work stoppage against UroCor or
         any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of UroCor,
         threatened which may interfere with the respective business activities
         of UroCor or its Subsidiaries. As of the date of this Agreement, to the
         knowledge of UroCor, none of UroCor, any of its Subsidiaries or any of
         their respective representatives or employees has committed an unfair
         labor practice in connection with the operation of the respective
         businesses of UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries, and there is no charge
         or complaint against UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries by the National
         Labor Relations Board or any comparable governmental agency pending or
         threatened in writing.

                  (viii) All reports, returns and similar documents with respect
         to all UroCor Benefit Plans required to be filed with any Governmental
         Entity or distributed to any UroCor Benefit Plan participant have been
         duly and timely filed or distributed. None of UroCor or any of its
         Subsidiaries has received notice of, and to the knowledge of UroCor,
         there are no investigations by any Governmental Entity with respect to,
         termination proceedings or other claims (except claims for benefits
         payable in the normal operation of the UroCor Benefit Plans), suits or
         proceedings against or involving any UroCor Benefit Plan or asserting
         any rights or claims to benefits under any UroCor Benefit Plan that
         could give rise to any liability, and, to the knowledge of UroCor,
         there are not any

                                      -37-
<PAGE>   42
         facts that could give rise to any liability in the event of any such
         investigation, claim, suit or proceeding.

                  (ix) None of UroCor nor any of its Subsidiaries has any
         material liability or obligations, including under or on account of a
         UroCor Benefit Plan, arising out of the hiring of persons to provide
         services to UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries and treating such persons
         as consultants or independent contractors and not as employees of
         UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries.

                  (t) Labor Matters. Except where failure to comply would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on UroCor, UroCor is
and has been in compliance with all applicable laws of the United States, or of
any state or local government or any subdivision thereof or of any foreign
government respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions
of employment and wages and hours, including, without limitation, ERISA, the
Code, the Immigration Reform and Control Act, the WARN Act, any laws respecting
employment discrimination, sexual harassment, disability rights or benefits,
equal opportunity, plant closure issues, affirmative action, workers'
compensation, employee benefits, severance payments, COBRA, labor relations,
employee leave issues, wage and hour standards, occupational safety and health
requirements and unemployment insurance and related matters, and is not engaged
in any unfair labor practices.

                  (u) Other Financial Matters.

                      (i) All accounts receivable of UroCor and its Subsidiaries
reflected on UroCor's most recent audited financial statements filed with the
SEC, and all accounts receivable arising subsequent to the date of such
financial statements, are the result of bona fide transactions in the ordinary
course of business and practice, consistent with past custom and practice, and,
except to the extent specifically reserved for in the most recent UroCor
financial statements filed with the SEC are valid and collectible obligations of
the respective makers thereof and were not and are not subject to any offset or
counterclaim. The amount of accounts receivable in the most recent UroCor
financial statements filed with the SEC are reflected in accordance with GAAP.
Since December 31, 2000, there have not been any material write-offs as
uncollectible of any accounts receivable of UroCor.

                      (ii) UroCor has made sufficient accruals in accordance
with GAAP on its most recent financial statements filed with the SEC for all
contingent liabilities, including sufficient accruals for employee bonuses and
the costs of governmental investigation. UroCor's billing and pricing policies
are reflected in accordance with GAAP on the most recent UroCor financial
statements filed with the SEC.

                  (v) Transaction Fees. Section 3.2(v) of the UroCor Disclosure
Schedule presents UroCor's best good faith estimate of the total amount of all
accounting, legal and financial advisory fees, employee and director bonuses
(including, without limitation, severance costs or payments that become due by
UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries before or after the Effective Time to current
or former UroCor employees and directors) and incidental expenses directly or
indirectly related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement incurred
to the date of this Agreement and to be incurred after the date of this
Agreement.

                  4.4 GOVERNMENTAL FILINGS. UroCor and Dianon shall file all

                                   ARTICLE V

                              ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

                  5.1 PREPARATION OF PROXY STATEMENT; STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS.

                  (a) As promptly as practicable following the date hereof,
Dianon and UroCor shall prepare and file with the SEC mutually acceptable proxy
materials which shall constitute the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (such
proxy statement/prospectus, and any amendments or supplements thereto, the
"Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus") and Dianon shall prepare and file a
registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the issuance of Dianon Common
Stock in the Merger (the "Form S-4"). The Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will
be included in and will constitute a part of the Form S-4 as Dianon's
prospectus. The Form S-4 and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall comply
as to form in all material respects with the applicable

                                      -43-
<PAGE>   48

provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder. Each of Dianon and UroCor shall use reasonable efforts
to have the Form S-4 declared effective by the SEC and to keep the Form S-4
effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger and the transactions
contemplated thereby. Dianon and UroCor shall, as promptly as practicable after
receipt thereof, provide the other party copies of any written comments and
advise the other party of any oral comments, with respect to the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus received from the SEC. Dianon will provide UroCor with a
reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any amendment or supplement to
the Form S-4 prior to filing such with the SEC, and will provide UroCor with a
copy of all such filings made with the SEC. Notwithstanding any other provision
herein to the contrary, no amendment or supplement (including by incorporation
by reference) to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 shall be
made without the approval of both parties, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that with respect to documents filed
by a party which are incorporated by reference in the Form S-4 or Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, this right of approval shall apply only with respect to
information relating to the other party or its business, financial condition or
results of operations. Dianon will use reasonable efforts to cause the Joint
Proxy Statements/Prospectus to be mailed to Dianon stockholders, and UroCor will
use reasonable efforts to cause the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be
mailed to UroCor's stockholders, in each case after the Form S-4 is declared
effective under the Securities Act. Dianon shall also take any action (other
than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so
qualified or to file a general consent to service of process) required to be
taken under any applicable state securities laws in connection with the Share
Issuance and UroCor shall furnish all information concerning UroCor and the
holders of UroCor Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with
any such action. Each party will advise the other party, promptly after it
receives notice thereof, of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective, the
issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the Dianon
Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any
jurisdiction, or any request by the SEC for amendment of the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4. If at any time prior to the Effective Time
any information relating to Dianon or UroCor, or any of their respective
affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by Dianon or UroCor
which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Form S-4
or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus so that any of such documents would not
include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information
shall promptly notify the other party hereto and, to the extent required by law,
rules or regulations, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such
information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and disseminated to the
stockholders of Dianon and UroCor.

                  (b) UroCor shall duly take (subject to compliance with the
provisions of Section 3.2(e) (provided that UroCor shall have used reasonable
efforts to ensure that such representations are true and correct)) all lawful
action to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders
on a date as soon as reasonably practicable (the "UroCor Stockholders Meeting")
for the purpose of obtaining the required approval of its stockholders with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the
Alternative Merger Structure, and shall take all lawful action to solicit the
adoption of this Agreement, including the

                                      -44-
<PAGE>   49
Alternative Merger Structure, by the requisite vote of its stockholders; and the
Board of Directors of UroCor shall recommend adoption of this Agreement,
including the Alternative Merger Structure, by the stockholders of UroCor to the
effect as set forth in Section 3.2(f) (the "UroCor Recommendation"), and shall
not withdraw, modify or qualify (or propose to withdraw, modify or qualify) in
any manner adverse to Dianon such recommendation or the approval of the Merger
or this Agreement or take any action or make any statement in connection with
the UroCor Stockholders Meeting inconsistent with such recommendation or
approval (collectively, a "Change in the UroCor Recommendation"); provided the
foregoing shall not prohibit accurate disclosure (and such disclosure shall not
be deemed to be a Change in the UroCor Recommendation) of factual information
regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of Dianon
or UroCor or the fact that an Acquisition Proposal has been made, the identity
of the party making such proposal or the material terms of such proposal
(provided, that the Board of Directors of UroCor does not withdraw, modify or
qualify (or propose to withdraw, modify or qualify) in any manner adverse to
Dianon its recommendation) in the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus or otherwise, to the extent such information, facts,
identity or terms is required to be disclosed under applicable law; and,
provided further, that the Board of Directors of UroCor may make a Change in the
UroCor Recommendation pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof.

                  (c) Dianon shall duly take (subject to compliance with the
provisions of Section 3.1(e) (provided that Dianon shall have used reasonable
efforts to ensure that such representation is true and correct)) all lawful
action to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders
on a date as soon as reasonably practicable (the "Dianon Stockholders Meeting")
for the purpose of obtaining the Dianon Stockholder Approvals.

                  (d) For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in the UroCor
Recommendation shall be deemed to include, without limitation, a recommendation
by the UroCor Board of Directors of a third party Acquisition Proposal with
respect to UroCor.

                  5.2 ACCESS TO INFORMATION/EMPLOYEES.

                  (a) Upon reasonable notice, UroCor shall (and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to) afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel,
financial advisors and other representatives of Dianon reasonable access during

and other document filed, published, announced or received by it during such
period pursuant to the requirements of Federal or state securities laws, as
applicable (other than documents which such party is not permitted to disclose
under applicable law), and (b) all other information concerning it and its
business, properties and personnel as Dianon may reasonably request (including
consultation on a regular basis with respect to litigation matters). Except as
required by law and without limiting in any way the continued efficacy of the
Confidentiality Agreement, any such information obtained pursuant to this
Section 5.2(a) will be used solely for the purpose of consideration or
performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other

warranties of UroCor.

                  (b) Upon reasonable notice, Dianon shall afford to the senior

requested by UroCor that Dianon has disclosed to the Department of Justice in
response to the subpoena dated November 14, 2000 issued by the United States
Attorney's Office for Connecticut. Except as required by law and without
limiting in any way the continued efficacy of the Confidentiality Agreement, any
such information obtained pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) will be used solely

by this Agreement or any other agreement related hereto and will be kept
confidential by UroCor and all Persons obtaining such information on UroCor's

                  5.3 REASONABLE EFFORTS.

                  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
each party will use its reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all

                  5.5 ACQUISITION PROPOSALS.

                  (a) UroCor shall not, nor shall it permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its directors, officers
or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant
or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly through another Person, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage
(including by way of furnishing information), or take any other action to
facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer other than the
Merger that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any
Acquisition Proposal (as defined below) or (ii) enter into, continue or
otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish
to any Person any information with respect to, or accept or implement any
Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that if, prior to the time at which the
Required UroCor Vote shall have been obtained, a majority of the members of the
Board of Directors of UroCor determines in good faith (after consultation with
outside counsel) that failure to do so would result in a breach of the fiduciary
duties of such Board to UroCor's stockholders under applicable law, UroCor may,
in response to an Acquisition Proposal (as defined below) which did not result
from a breach of this Section 5.5, and which the Board of Directors of UroCor
determines is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, and subject to
providing prior written notice of its decision to take such action to Dianon and
compliance with Section 5.5, furnish information with respect to UroCor and its
Subsidiaries to any Person making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to a
customary confidentiality agreement (provided that if such confidentiality
agreement contains provisions that are less restrictive than the comparable
provision in, or omits restrictive provisions, contained in the Confidentiality
Agreement, then the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed amended to contain
only such less restrictive provisions or to omit such restrictive provisions as
applicable) and participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such
Acquisition Proposal.

                  For purposes of this Agreement, "Superior Proposal" means any
written proposal not solicited in breach of this Section 5.5 by UroCor made by a
third party to consummate a tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation
or similar transaction which would result in such third party (or its
stockholders) owning, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the
shares of UroCor Common Stock then outstanding (or of the surviving entity in a
merger) or all or substantially all of the assets of UroCor and its Subsidiaries
and otherwise on terms which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors
of UroCor determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and
taking into consideration the advice of a financial advisor of nationally
recognized reputation) to be more favorable to UroCor's stockholders, from a
financial point of view, than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
In reaching such good faith determination, the Board of Directors of UroCor
shall give significant consideration to whether any such third party proposal
includes definitive financing and is reasonably capable of being consummated.

                  For purposes of this Agreement, "Acquisition Proposal" means
any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person other than Dianon relating to any
direct or indirect acquisition

                                      -47-
<PAGE>   52

or purchase of more than 10% of the total assets (including without limitation
stock of Subsidiaries) of UroCor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or any
shares of any class or series of equity securities of UroCor or any of its
Subsidiaries constituting more than 10% of the outstanding shares of UroCor
Common Stock, any tender offer or exchange offer involving more than 10% of the
outstanding shares of UroCor Common Stock, or any merger, reorganization,
consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization,
liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving UroCor or any of its
Subsidiaries, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (b) Neither UroCor nor the Board of Directors of UroCor nor
any committee thereof shall (i) make a Change in the UroCor Recommendation, (ii)
approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition
Proposal, (iii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or
execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding,
agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option
agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar
agreement (each, an "Acquisition Agreement"), or (iv)(x) redeem the UroCor
Rights, (y) waive or amend any provisions of the UroCor Rights Agreement or (z)
take any action with respect to, or make any determination under, the UroCor
Rights Agreement, in any such case to permit or facilitate the consummation of
an Acquisition Proposal, or propose or agree to do any of the foregoing
constituting or related to, or which is intended to or would reasonably be
expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at
any time prior to the time at which the Required UroCor Vote shall have been
obtained, in response to a Superior Proposal which did not result from a breach
of Section 5.5(a), the Board of Directors of UroCor may (subject to this
sentence and the definition of the term "Superior Proposal"), if a majority of
the members of the Board of Directors of UroCor determines in good faith (after
consultation with outside counsel) that failure to do so would result in a
breach of the fiduciary duties of such Board to UroCor's stockholders under
applicable law, subject to payment of the termination fee provided for in
Section 7.2 (if applicable), (i) make a Change in the UroCor Recommendation or
(ii) cause UroCor or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into a definitive written
agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, but in each case referred to
in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), only if UroCor notifies Dianon, in
writing at least 72 hours prior to taking any such action, promptly of its
intention to take such action, specifying the material terms of such Acquisition
Proposal and identifying the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, and Dianon
does not make, on or before 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the third Business Day
following receipt of such written notification, an offer that the Board of
Directors of UroCor determines, in good faith, after consultation with its
financial advisors, is at least as favorable to the stockholders of UroCor as
such Acquisition Proposal, it being understood that UroCor shall not enter into
any binding agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal prior to 5:00
p.m., Central Time, on the third Business Day following Dianon's receipt of such
written notification.

                  (c) In addition to the obligations of UroCor set forth in
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.5, UroCor shall immediately (and no
later than 24 hours thereafter) advise Dianon orally and in writing of any
request for information or of any inquiry with respect to an Acquisition
Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request, inquiry or
Acquisition Proposal and the identity of the Person making such request, inquiry
or Acquisition Proposal. UroCor will promptly keep Dianon informed of the status
and details (including amendments or

                                      -48-
<PAGE>   53

changes or proposed amendments or changes) of any such request, inquiry or
Acquisition Proposal.

                  (d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.5 shall prohibit
UroCor from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by
Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure
to UroCor's stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of a majority of the
members of the Board of Directors of UroCor, after consultation with outside
counsel, failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under
applicable law; provided, however, that, subject to Section 5.5(b), neither
UroCor nor its Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall make a Change
in the UroCor Recommendation or approve or recommend, or propose to approve or
recommend, an Acquisition Proposal.

                  (e) UroCor agrees that it will, and will cause its officers,
directors and representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated
any activities, discussions or negotiations existing as of the date of this
Agreement with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition
Proposal. UroCor agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to promptly inform
its directors, officers, key employees, agents and representatives of the
obligations undertaken in this Section 5.5.

                  5.6 S-8 REGISTRATION STATEMENT. Dianon shall prepare and file
with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "S-8 Registration
Statement") registering the issuance of Dianon Common Stock issuable on exercise
of the Assumed Stock Options to be converted pursuant to Section 1.8, and shall
use its best efforts to cause the S-8 Registration Statement to become effective
on or prior to the Effective Time. If necessary to permit re-offers and resales
by holders of the Assumed Stock Options, Dianon also shall prepare a "re-offer
prospectus" (as that term is used in General Instruction C-1 of Form S-8) and
file the re-offer prospectus with a post-effective amendment to the S-8
Registration Statement and cause any such post-effective amendment to become
effective and remain effective for such period as is necessary to permit such
re-offers and resales.

                  5.7 SPECIAL UROCOR EMPLOYEE BONUS PLAN. Prior to the Effective
Time, UroCor may pay up to an aggregate of $1,200,000 under the UroCor 2001
Bonus Plan solely to the employees listed in Section 5.7 of the UroCor
Disclosure Schedule and thereafter shall, prior to the Effective Time, terminate
such plan.

                  5.8 FEES AND EXPENSES. Subject to Section 7.2, whether or not
the Merger is consummated, all Expenses incurred in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party
incurring such Expenses. As used in this Agreement, "Expenses" includes all
out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of
counsel, accountants, investment bankers, experts and consultants to a party
hereto and its affiliates) incurred by a party or on its behalf in connection
with or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution and
performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,
including the preparation, printing, filing and mailing of the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus and the solicitation of stockholder approvals and all other
matters related to the transactions contemplated hereby.

                  5.9 DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.
(a) Dianon agrees that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from
liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time
now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of UroCor
and its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective articles of organization or
by-laws and any indemnification agreements of UroCor (as each is in effect on
the date hereof and provided such indemnification agreements are disclosed in
the UroCor Disclosure Schedule), shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation
in the Merger, without further action, as of the Effective Time and shall
survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance
with their terms.

                  (b) The Surviving Corporation shall, at its option, either (i)
maintain for a period of not less than six years after the Effective Time,
UroCor's current directors' and officers' liability insurance covering acts or
omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time ("D&O Insurance") with respect
to those Persons who are currently covered by UroCor's directors' and officers'
liability insurance policy on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no
less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof or (ii)
cause to be provided coverage no less favorable to such directors or officers,
as the case may be, than the D&O Insurance, in each case so long as the annual
premium therefor would not be in excess of $240,000 (the "Maximum Premium"). If
the existing or substituted directors' and officers' liability insurance
expires, is terminated or canceled during such six-year period, the Surviving
Corporation will obtain as much D&O Insurance as can be obtained for the
remainder of such period for an annualized premium not in excess of the Maximum
Premium. UroCor represents that the last premium it paid for D&O Insurance prior
to the date of this Agreement was $285,000 for the two-year period ending
November 2001. At the option of Dianon, Dianon may assume the obligations of the
Surviving Corporation set forth in Sections 5.9(a) and 5.9(b), and thereafter
the Surviving Corporation shall not have any further obligations pursuant to
this Section 5.9(b) for so long as Dianon continues to so assume the obligations
of the Surviving Corporation.

                  (c) The provisions of this Section 5.9 are (i) intended to be
for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified party, his or
her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in
substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any
such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

                  5.10 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. Dianon and UroCor will consult with
each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review,
comment upon and concur with, any press release or other public statements with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the
Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public
statement prior to such consultation, except as either party may determine is
required by applicable law, the SEC, court process or by obligations pursuant to
any listing or quotation agreement with any national securities exchange or
national trading system; provided, however, that each party may respond to
inquiries from stockholders, financial analysts and media representatives in a
manner consistent with its past practice and applicable laws and regulations.
The parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore
agreed to by the parties.

to cause to be delivered to Dianon two letters from UroCor's independent public
accountants, one dated approximately the date on which the Form S-4 shall become
effective and one dated the Closing Date, each addressed to UroCor and Dianon,
in form reasonably satisfactory to Dianon and customary in scope for comfort

registration statements similar to the Form S-4. Dianon shall use reasonable
efforts to cause to be delivered to UroCor two letters from Dianon's independent
public accountants, one dated approximately the date on which the Form S-4 shall

registration statements similar to the Form S-4.

                  5.12 LISTING OF SHARES OF DIANON COMMON STOCK. Dianon shall
use its reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Dianon Common Stock to be
issued in the Merger and the shares of Dianon Common Stock to be reserved for
issuance upon exercise of the Assumed Stock Options to be approved for quotation
on the Nasdaq, prior to the Closing Date.

                  5.13 AFFILIATES . Not less than 45 days prior to the Effective
Time, UroCor shall deliver to Dianon a letter identifying all Persons who, in
the judgment of UroCor, may be deemed at the time this Agreement is submitted
for adoption by the stockholders of UroCor, "affiliates" of UroCor for purposes
of Rule 145 under the Securities Act and applicable SEC rules and regulations,
and such list shall be updated as necessary to reflect changes from the date
thereof. UroCor shall use reasonable efforts to cause each Person identified on
such list to deliver to Dianon not less than 30 days prior to the Effective
Time, a written agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 5.13
hereto (an "Affiliate Agreement").

                  5.14 TAX TREATMENT. The parties intend the Merger to qualify
as reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. Each party and its
affiliates shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to so qualify and to
obtain the opinions of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., counsel to UroCor, and
Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, counsel to Dianon, to the effect that the Merger
will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a "reorganization"
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that Dianon and UroCor
will each be a party to that reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b)
of the Code. For purposes of the tax opinions described in Sections 6.2(c) and
6.3(c) of this Agreement, each of Dianon and UroCor shall provide representation
letters substantially in the form of Exhibits 6.2(c)(2) and 6.2(c)(3), each
dated on or about the date that is no more than two Business Days prior to the
date the Proxy Statement is mailed to the stockholders of UroCor and reissued no
more than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Each of Dianon and UroCor
and each of their respective affiliates shall not take any action or fail to
take any action, cause any action to be taken or not taken, or suffer to exist
any condition, which action, failure to take action or condition would prevent,
or would be reasonably likely to prevent, the Merger from qualifying as a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

                  5.15 UROCOR EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN. On or before July 1,
2001, UroCor shall take such actions as are necessary to amend the UroCor 1997
ESP Plan to provide that (a) at the Effective Time, the offering period under
the UroCor 1997 ESP Plan in which the Effective Time occurs shall expire, (b) no
shares of UroCor Common Stock shall be purchased

                                      -51-
<PAGE>   56

with respect to such offering period and (c) at the Effective Time, UroCor shall
pay to each participant in the UroCor 1997 ESP Plan in cash an amount equal to
the aggregate amount of such participant's payroll deduction contributions
accumulated during such offering period through the Effective Time.

                  (b) by either UroCor or Dianon:

                           (i) if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on
                  or before December 31, 2001 (the "Termination Date");
                  provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement
                  under this Section 7.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any
                  party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this
                  Agreement (including without limitation such party's
                  obligations set forth in Section 5.3) has been the cause of,
                  or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur on
                  or before the Termination Date and provided further that if on
                  the Termination Date the conditions to Closing set forth in
                  Sections 6.1(c) or 6.1(d) shall not have been fulfilled but
                  all other conditions to Closing shall be fulfilled or shall be
                  capable of being fulfilled on the Termination Date then the
                  Termination Date shall be automatically extended to March 31,
                  2002; or

                           (ii) if any Governmental Entity (i) shall have issued

                  and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have
                  become final and nonappealable or (ii) shall have failed to
                  issue an order, decree or ruling or to take any other action
                  (which order, decree, ruling or other action the parties shall
                  have used their reasonable efforts to obtain, in accordance
                  with Section 5.3), in the case of each of (i) and (ii) which
                  is necessary to fulfill the conditions set forth in Sections
                  6.1(c) and (d), as applicable, and such denial of a request to
                  issue such order, decree, ruling or take such other action
                  shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however,
                  that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section
                  7.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to
                  comply with Section 5.3 has been the cause of such action or
                  inaction; or

                           (iii) if the approval of the stockholders of either
                  UroCor or Dianon contemplated by this Agreement shall not have
                  been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required
                  vote at a duly held meeting of stockholders or of any
                  adjournment thereof at which the vote was taken; or

                           (iv) if the Board of Directors of UroCor, after
                  complying with Section 5.5(b), authorizes UroCor to enter into
                  a definitive written agreement with a third party with respect
                  to an Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors has
                  determined is a Superior Proposal; or

                  (c) by Dianon, if there shall have been a breach by UroCor of
any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained in
this Agreement, which breach would result in the failure to satisfy the
conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b), and in any such case
such breach shall be incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured,
shall not have been cured within 30 days after written notice thereof shall have
been received by the party alleged to be in breach; or

                  (d) by Dianon:

                           (i) (A) if UroCor shall have failed to make the
                  UroCor Recommendation or effected a Change in the UroCor
                  Recommendation (or resolved to take any such action), whether
                  or not permitted by the terms hereof, or shall have materially
                  breached its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a
                  failure to call or hold the UroCor Stockholders Meeting in
                  accordance with Section 5.1(b), (B) if UroCor or any of its
                  directors, officers employees, investment bankers, financial
                  advisors, attorney, accountant or other representative shall
                  have breached Section 5.5, (C) if the Board of Directors of
                  UroCor or any committee thereof shall approve or recommend, or
                  make any disclosure to the stockholders of UroCor, whether or
                  not permitted pursuant to Section 5.5, that has the effect of
                  approving or recommending, to the stockholders of UroCor an
                  Acquisition Proposal, (D) if, after an Acquisition Proposal
                  shall have been made public, the Board of Directors of UroCor
                  fails to affirm its recommendation of the Merger and this
                  Agreement as promptly as practicable (but in any event within
                  three Business Days) after any request

                                      -56-
<PAGE>   61
                  from Dianon or (E) if a tender offer or exchange offer
                  constituting an Acquisition Proposal is commenced, and the
                  Board of Directors of UroCor fails to recommend against
                  acceptance of such offer by the stockholders of UroCor
                  (including by taking no position with respect to the
                  acceptance of such offer by the stockholders of UroCor); or

                           (ii) if any Person shall have consummated a tender
                  offer or an exchange offer or other transaction constituting
                  an Acquisition Proposal; or

                  (e) by UroCor, if there shall have been a breach by Dianon of
any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained in
this Agreement, which breach would result in the failure to satisfy the
conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b), and in any such case
such breach shall be incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured,
shall not have been cured within 30 days after written notice thereof shall have
been received by the party alleged to be in breach.

                  7.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION.

                  (a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either
UroCor or Dianon as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith
become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Dianon
or UroCor or their respective officers or directors except with respect to
Section 3.1(l), Section 3.2(l), the covenants set forth in Section 5.2 to keep
confidential certain information, the second sentence of Section 5.4, Section
5.8, this Section 7.2 and Article VIII, which provisions shall survive such
termination, and except that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, neither Dianon nor UroCor shall be relieved or released from
any liabilities or damages arising out of its willful material breach of this
Agreement.

                  (b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
(1) Section 7.1(b)(iii) in respect of the approval of the stockholders of UroCor
not being obtained and prior to the meeting of UroCor stockholders at which a
vote is taken to approve this Agreement any Person shall have made or publicly
announced an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal with respect to UroCor,
(2) Section 7.1(d), (3) Section 7.1(c) and within 12 months of such termination
UroCor enters into a definitive agreement with a third party with respect to an
Acquisition Proposal, or (4) Section 7.1(b)(iv), then in any such case UroCor
shall promptly, but in no event later than the date of such termination, pay to
Dianon a termination fee equal to $5,128,000 (the "Termination Fee"), payable by
wire transfer of same day funds; provided, however, that with respect to clause
(3), such fee shall be payable only as provided above and in such case no later
than three Business Days after the date a definitive agreement with a third
party with respect to an Acquisition Proposal is executed. UroCor acknowledges
that the agreements contained in this Section 7.2(b) are an integral part of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements,
Dianon would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if UroCor fails
promptly to pay the amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.2(b), and, in order
to obtain such payment, Dianon commences a suit which results in a judgment
against UroCor for the amounts set forth in this Section 7.2(b), UroCor shall
pay to Dianon its reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and
expenses) in connection

                                      -57-
<PAGE>   62
with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section
7.2(b) at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment
was required to be made.

                  (c) UroCor shall reimburse Dianon for all expenses incurred by
Dianon and Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement up to a maximum amount of
$1,000,000 in the event this Agreement is terminated by Dianon in the
circumstances described in Section 7.2(b), within two Business Days after being
notified by Dianon. All payments made pursuant to this Section 7.2(c) shall be
made by wire transfer of same day funds.

                  7.3 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended by the parties
hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors,
at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with
the Merger by the stockholders of UroCor and Dianon, but, after any such
approval, no amendment shall be made which by law or in accordance with the
rules of any relevant stock exchange requires further approval by such
stockholders without such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended
except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties
hereto.

                  7.4 EXTENSION; WAIVER. At any time prior to the Effective
Time, the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective
Boards of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for
the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties
hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties
contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive
compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any
agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be
valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party.
The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under
this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this
Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such
representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements, shall survive the
Effective Time, except for those covenants and agreements contained herein and
therein (including Section 5.9) that by their terms apply or are to be performed
in whole or in part after the Effective Time and this Article VIII.

                  8.3 INTERPRETATION. When a reference is made in this Agreement
to Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to a Section of or
Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of
contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes
only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement. Whenever the words "include", "includes" or "including" are used in
this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without
limitation.

                  8.4 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by

                  8.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. (a) This
Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, and the other agreements of the
parties referred to herein

                                      -59-
<PAGE>   64
constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

                  (b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to
the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or
implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit
or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other
than Section 5.9 (which is intended to be for the benefit of the Persons covered
thereby and may be enforced by such Persons). For purposes of clarity, nothing
in Sections 1.8, 5.7 and 5.9 is intended to confer upon any UroCor employee, any
benefits under any benefits plan, programs, policies or other arrangements,
including, but not limited to, the right to employment or continued employment
with Dianon for any period by reason of this Agreement.

                  8.6 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed and

effect to choice of law principles thereof).

                  8.7 SEVERABILITY. If any term or other provision of this

substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner
materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto
shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the
original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in
order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally
contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

                  8.8 ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties
hereto, in whole or in part (whether by operation of law or otherwise), without
the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempt to make any such
assignment without such consent shall be null and void, except that Merger Sub
may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and
obligations under this Agreement to any direct wholly owned Subsidiary of Dianon
without the consent of UroCor, but no such assignment shall relieve Merger Sub
of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding
sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

                  8.9 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. Each of Dianon,
Merger Sub and UroCor irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding
with respect to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any
judgment in respect hereof brought by another party hereto or its successors or
assigns may be brought and determined in the Chancery or other Courts of the
State of Delaware, and each of Dianon, Merger Sub and UroCor hereby irrevocably
submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect
to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction
of the aforesaid courts. Each of Dianon, Merger Sub and UroCor hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense,
counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this
Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not Personally subject to the jurisdiction
of the above-named

                                      -60-

from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of
notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of
judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such
court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action
or proceeding is improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter
hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

                  8.10 ENFORCEMENT. The parties agree that irreparable damage
would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that

                           Change In Control Agreement

         THIS AGREEMENT between UroCor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and _______________________________________ (the "Employee") is
executed as of June 18, 2001 and is effective as of the ____ day of __________,
____ (the "Effective Date"). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined
in Section 21.

                                   Witnesseth:

         WHEREAS, the Company considers it to be in the best interests of its
stockholders to encourage the continued employment of certain key employees of
the Company notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in
Control of the Company; and

         WHEREAS, the Employee is a key employee of the Company; and

         WHEREAS, the Company believes that the possibility of the occurrence of
a Change in Control of the Company may result in the termination by the Employee
of the Employee's employment by the Company or in the distraction of the
Employee from the performance of his duties to the Company, in either case to
the detriment of the Company and its stockholders; and

         WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the Employee could suffer adverse
financial and professional consequences if a Change in Control of the Company
were to occur; and

         WHEREAS, the Company wishes to enter into this Agreement to protect the
Employee if a Change in Control of the Company occurs, thereby encouraging the
Employee to remain in the employ of the Company and not to be distracted from
the performance of his duties to the Company by the possibility of a Change in
Control of the Company;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

         Section 1. Other Employment Arrangements.

                  (a) This Agreement does not affect the Employee's existing or
future employment arrangements with the Company unless a Change in Control of
the Company shall have occurred before the expiration of the term of this
Agreement. The Employee's employment with the Company shall continue to be
governed by the Employee's existing or future employment agreements with the
Company, if any, or, in the absence of any employment agreement, shall continue
to be at the will of the Board of Directors or, if the Employee is not an
officer of the Company at the time of the termination of the Employee's
employment with the Company, the will of the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, except that if (i) a Change in Control of the Company shall have
occurred before the expiration of the term of this Agreement and (ii) the
Employee's employment with the Company is terminated (whether by the Employee or

                                      -1-
<PAGE>   2

the Company or automatically as provided in Section 3) after the occurrence of
that Change in Control of the Company, then the Employee shall be entitled to
receive certain benefits as provided in this Agreement.

                  (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, if following the commencement of any discussions with any person
that ultimately results in a Change in Control of the Company, (i) the
Employee's employment with the Company is terminated, (ii) the Employee is
removed from any material duties or position with the Company, (iii) the
Employee's Base Salary is reduced or (iv) the Employee's annual bonus is reduced
to an amount less than the Benchmark Bonus, then for all purposes of this
Agreement, such Change in Control of the Company shall be deemed to have
occurred on the date immediately prior to the date of such termination, removal
or reduction.

                  (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the
Employee's continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or
practice of or provided by the Company or any of its Affiliates and for which
the Employee may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect
such rights as the Employee may have under any contract or agreement with the
Company or any of its Affiliates. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the
Employee is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, program, policy or
practice of or provided by, or any contract or agreement with, the Company or
any of its Affiliates at or subsequent to the date of termination of the
Employee's employment with the Company shall be payable or otherwise provided in
accordance with such plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement
except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

         Section 2. Change in Control of the Company. A "Change in Control of
the Company" shall have occurred if, after the Effective Date:

                           (i) a report on Schedule 13D or Schedule 14D-1 (or
                  any successor schedule, form or report) shall be filed with
                  the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act and that report
                  discloses that any person (within the meaning of Section 13(d)
                  or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than the
                  Company (or one of its subsidiaries) or any employee benefit
                  plan sponsored by the Company (or one of its subsidiaries), is
                  the beneficial owner (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 or
                  any successor rule or regulation promulgated under the
                  Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 20 percent or more
                  of the outstanding Voting Stock;

                           (ii) any person (within the meaning of Section 13(d)
                  or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than the
                  Company (or one of its subsidiaries) or any employee benefit
                  plan sponsored by the Company (or one of its subsidiaries),
                  shall purchase securities pursuant to a tender offer or
                  exchange offer to acquire any Voting Stock (or any securities
                  convertible into Voting Stock) and, immediately after
                  consummation of that purchase, that person is

                  the beneficial owner (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 or
                  any successor rule or regulation promulgated under the
                  Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 20 percent or more
                  of the outstanding Voting Stock (such person's beneficial
                  ownership to be determined, in the case of rights to acquire
                  Voting Stock, pursuant to paragraph (d) of Rule 13d-3 or any
                  successor rule or regulation promulgated under the Exchange
                  Act);

                           (iii) the consummation of:

                                    (x) a merger, stock exchange, consolidation
                           or reorganization of the Company with or into any
                           other person if as a result of such merger, stock
                           exchange, consolidation or reorganization, 50 percent
                           or less of the combined voting power of the
                           then-outstanding securities of such other person
                           immediately after such merger, stock exchange,
                           consolidation or reorganization are held in the
                           aggregate by the holders of Voting Stock immediately
                           prior to such merger, consolidation or
                           reorganization;

                                    (y) any sale, lease, exchange or other
                           transfer of all or substantially all the assets of
                           the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to any
                           other person if as a result of such sale, lease,
                           exchange or other transfer, 50 percent or less of the
                           combined voting power of the then-outstanding
                           securities of such other person immediately after
                           such sale, lease, exchange or other transfer are held
                           in the aggregate by the holders of Voting Stock
                           immediately prior to such sale, lease, exchange or
                           other transfer; or

                                    (z) a transaction immediately after the
                           consummation of which any person (within the meaning
                           of Section 13(d) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange
                           Act) would be the beneficial owner (as that term is
                           defined in Rule 13d-3 or any successor rule or
                           regulation promulgated under the Exchange Act),
                           directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of
                           the outstanding Voting Stock;

                           (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve the
                  dissolution of the Company; or

                           (v) during any period of 12 consecutive months, the
                  individuals who at the beginning of that period constituted
                  the Board of Directors shall cease to constitute a majority of
                  the Board of Directors, unless the election, or the nomination
                  for election by the Company's stockholders, of each director
                  of the Company first elected during such period was approved
                  by a vote of at least a

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

                  two-thirds of the directors of the Company then still in
                  office who were directors of the Company at the beginning of
                  any such period.

         Section 3. Term of this Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall
begin on the Effective Date and shall expire on the first to occur of:

                           (i) the Employee's death, the Employee's Disability
                  or the Employee's Retirement, which events shall also be
                  deemed automatically to terminate the Employee's employment by
                  the Company; or

                           (ii) the termination by the Employee or the Company
                  of the Employee's employment by the Company.

The expiration of the term of this Agreement shall not terminate this Agreement
itself or affect the right of the Employee or the Employee's legal
representatives to enforce the payment of any amount or other benefit to which
the Employee was entitled before the expiration of the term of this Agreement or
to which the Employee became entitled as a result of the event (including the
termination, whether by the Employee or the Company or automatically as provided
in this Section 3, of the Employee's employment by the Company) that caused the
term of this Agreement to expire.

         Section 4. Event of Termination for Cause. An "Event of Termination for
Cause" shall have occurred if, after a Change in Control of the Company, the
Employee shall have committed:

                           (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct in
                  connection with his duties or in the course of his employment
                  with the Company;

                           (ii) an act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in
                  connection with his duties or in the course of his employment
                  with the Company;

                           (iii) intentional wrongful damage to property of the
                  Company;

                           (iv) intentional wrongful disclosure of secret
                  processes or confidential information of the Company; or

                           (v) an act leading to a conviction of a felony or a
                  misdemeanor involving moral turpitude.

For purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on the part of the
Employee shall be deemed "intentional" if it was due primarily to an error in
judgment or negligence, but shall be deemed "intentional" only if done, or
omitted to be done, by the Employee not in good faith and without reasonable
belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee shall not be

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

deemed to have been terminated as a result of an "Event of Termination for
Cause" hereunder unless and until there shall have been delivered to the
Employee a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less
than three-quarters of the Board of Directors then in office at a meeting of the
Board of Directors called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to
the Employee and an opportunity for the Employee, together with his counsel, to
be heard before the Board of Directors), finding that, in the good faith opinion
of the Board of Directors, the Employee had committed an act set forth above in
this Section 4 and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Nothing herein
shall limit the right of the Employee or his legal representatives to contest
the validity or propriety of any such determination.

         Section 5. An Event of Termination for Good Reason. An "Event of
Termination for Good Reason" shall have occurred if, after a Change in Control
of the Company, the Company shall:

                           (i) assign to the Employee any duties inconsistent
                  with the Employee's position (including offices, titles and
                  reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities
                  with the Company in effect immediately before the occurrence
                  of the first Change in Control of the Company or otherwise
                  make any change in any such position, authority, duties or
                  responsibilities;

                           (ii) remove the Employee from, or fail to re-elect or
                  appoint the Employee to, any duties or position with the
                  Company or any of its Affiliates that were assigned or held by
                  the Employee immediately before the occurrence of the first
                  Change in Control of the Company, except that a nominal change
                  in the Employee's title that is merely descriptive and does
                  not affect rank or status shall not constitute such an event;

                           (iii) take any other action that results in a
                  material diminution in such position, authority, duties or
                  responsibilities or otherwise take any action that materially
                  interferes therewith;

                           (iv) reduce the Employee's annual base salary as in
                  effect immediately before the occurrence of the first Change
                  in Control of the Company or as the Employee's annual base
                  salary may be increased from time to time after that

                           (v) reduce the Employee's annual bonus to an amount
                  less than ___% of the Employee's Base Salary (the "Benchmark

                  plans, programs and arrangements collectively being referred
                  to herein as "Basic Benefit Plans"), including, but not
                  limited to, any deferred compensation, supplemental executive

                  purchase, stock appreciation, or similar policy, plan, program
                  or arrangement of the Company, in which the Employee was a
                  participant immediately before the occurrence of the first
                  Change in Control of the Company, or any substitute plan
                  adopted by the Board of Directors and in which the Employee
                  was a participant immediately before the occurrence of the
                  last Change in Control of the Company, unless an equitable and
                  reasonably comparable arrangement (embodied in a substitute or
                  alternative benefit or plan) shall have been made with respect
                  to such Basic Benefit Plan promptly following the occurrence

                  basis, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided to the
                  Employee (which are in any event always subject to the terms
                  of any applicable Basic Benefit Plan) and the level of the
                  Employee's participation relative to other participants, as
                  existed immediately before the occurrence of the first Change
                  in Control of the Company;

                           (viii) fail to continue to provide the Employee with
                  benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by the
                  Employee under any of the Company's other employee benefit
                  plans, policies, programs and arrangements (the "Other Benefit

                  medical, dental, health, hospital, accident or disability
                  plans, in which the Employee was a participant immediately

                  Company;

                           (ix) take any action that would directly or

                  immediately before the occurrence of the first Change in
                  Control of the Company or deprive the Employee of any material

                  space, related facilities and support personnel (including,
                  but not limited to, administrative and secretarial assistance)
                  (y) that are both commensurate with Employee's
                  responsibilities to and position with the Company immediately
                  before the occurrence of the first Change in Control of the
                  Company and not materially dissimilar to the office space,
                  related facilities and support personnel provided to other
                  employees of the Company having comparable responsibility to
                  the Employee, or (z) that are physically located at the

                  for a period of more than 21 consecutive days or for more than
                  90 days in any calendar year;

                           (xiii) fail to honor any provision of any employment
                  agreement Employee has or may in the future have with the
                  Company or fail to honor any provision of this Agreement;

                           (xiv) give effective notice of an election to
                  terminate at the end of the term or extended the term of any
                  employment agreement Employee has or may in the future have
                  with the Company in accordance with the terms of any such
                  agreement; or

                           (xv) purport to terminate the Employee's employment
                  by the Company unless notice of that termination shall have
                  been given to the Employee pursuant to, and that notice shall
                  meet the requirements of, Section 6.

         Section 6. Notice of Termination. If a Change in Control of the Company
shall have occurred before the expiration of the term of this Agreement, any
subsequent termination by the Employee or the Company of the Employee's
employment by the Company, or any determination of the Employee's Disability,
shall be communicated by notice to the other party that shall indicate the
specific paragraph of Section 7 pursuant to which the Employee is to receive
benefits as a result of the termination. If the notice states that the
Employee's employment by the Company has been automatically terminated as a
result of the Employee's Disability, the notice shall (i) specifically describe
the basis for the determination of the Employee's Disability, and (ii) state the
date of the determination of the Employee's Disability, which date shall be not
more than ten days before the date such notice is given. If the notice is from
the Company and states that the Employee's employment by the Company is
terminated by the Company as a result of the occurrence of an Event of
Termination for Cause, the notice shall specifically describe the action or
inaction of the Employee that the Company believes

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

constitutes an Event of Termination for Cause and shall be accompanied by a copy
of the resolution satisfying Section 4. If the notice is from the Employee and
states that the Employee's employment by the Company is terminated by the
Employee as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Termination for Good
Reason, the notice shall specifically describe the action or inaction of the
Company that the Employee believes constitutes an Event of Termination for Good
Reason. Each notice given pursuant to this Section 6 (other than a notice
stating that the Employee's employment by the Company has been automatically
terminated as a result of the Employee's Disability) shall state a date, which
shall be not fewer than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date such notice
is given, on which the termination of the Employee's employment by the Company
is effective. The date so stated in accordance with this Section 6 shall be the
"Termination Date". If a Change in Control of the Company shall have occurred
before the expiration of the term of this Agreement, any subsequent purported
termination by the Company of the Employee's employment by the Company, or any
subsequent purported determination by the Company of the Employee's Disability,
shall be ineffective unless that termination or determination shall have been
communicated by the Company to the Employee by notice that meets the
requirements of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 and the provisions of
Section 9.

         Section 7. Benefits Payable on Change in Control and Termination.

                  (a) If (x) a Change in Control of the Company shall have
occurred before the expiration of the term of this Agreement, and (y) the
Employee's employment by the Company is terminated (whether by the Employee or
the Company or automatically as provided in Section 3) after the occurrence of
that Change in Control of the Company, the Employee shall be entitled to the
following benefits:

                           (i) If the Employee's employment by the Company is
                  terminated (x) by the Company as a result of the occurrence of
                  an Event of Termination for Cause, or (y) by the Employee
                  before the occurrence of an Event of Termination for Good
                  Reason, then the Company shall pay to the Employee the Base
                  Salary accrued through the Termination Date but not previously
                  paid to the Employee, and the Employee shall be entitled to
                  any other amounts or benefits provided under any plan, policy,
                  practice, program, contract or arrangement of or with the
                  Company, including, but not limited to, the Basic Benefit
                  Plans and the Other Benefit Plans, which shall be governed by
                  the terms thereof (except as explicitly modified by this
                  Agreement).

                           (ii) If the Employee's employment by the Company is
                  automatically terminated as a result of the Employee's death,
                  the Employee's Disability or the Employee's Retirement, then
                  (x) the Company shall pay to the Employee the Base Salary
                  accrued through the date of the occurrence of that event but
                  not previously paid to the Employee, and (y) the Employee
                  shall be entitled to any other amounts or benefits provided
                  under any plan, policy,

                                      -8-

                  practice, program, contract or arrangement of or with the
                  Company, including, but not limited to, the Basic Benefit
                  Plans and the Other Benefit Plans, which shall be governed by
                  the terms thereof (except as explicitly modified by this
                  Agreement).

                           (iii) If the Employee's employment by the Company is
                  terminated (x) by the Company otherwise than as a result of
                  the occurrence of an Event of Termination for Cause, or (y) by
                  the Employee after the occurrence of an Event of Termination
                  for Good Reason, then the Employee shall be entitled to the
                  following:

                                    (1) the Company shall pay to the Employee
                           the Base Salary and compensation for earned but
                           unused vacation time accrued through the Termination
                           Date but not previously paid to the Employee;

                                    (2) the Company shall pay to the Employee an
                           amount equal to the product of (A) the highest
                           aggregate annual bonus, incentive or other payment of
                           cash compensation in addition to annual base salary
                           pursuant to any bonus, incentive, profit-sharing,
                           performance, discretionary pay or similar policy,
                           plan, program or arrangement of the Company paid or
                           payable to the Employee (including any deferred
                           portion thereof) for any fiscal year (or portion
                           thereof) of the Company ending after the Effective
                           Date (the "Highest Bonus"), and (B) a fraction, the
                           numerator of which is the number of days in the
                           current fiscal year of the Company through the Date
                           of Termination and the denominator of which is 365;

                                    (3) the Company shall pay to the Employee,
                           as a lump sum, an amount (the "Severance Payment")
                           equal to _________ times the sum of:

                                             (A) the amount (including any
                                    deferred portion thereof) of the Base Salary
                                    that would have been paid to the Employee
                                    during the fiscal year of the Company in
                                    which the Termination Date occurs based on
                                    the assumption that the Employee's
                                    employment by the Company had continued
                                    throughout that fiscal year at the Base
                                    Salary at the

                                             (B) the amount of the Highest
                                    Bonus;

                                    (4) the Company (at its sole expense) shall
                           take the following actions:

                                    not materially reduce the benefits provided
                                    by, each of the Other Benefit Plans in which
                                    the Employee was a participant immediately
                                    before the Termination Date; and

                                    the Employee's uninterrupted participation
                                    throughout the Relevant Period in each of
                                    such Other Benefit Plans,

                           other amounts or benefits provided under any plan,
                           policy, practice, program, contract or arrangement of

                           which shall be governed by the terms thereof (except

         Section 10. Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from all
payments to be paid to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement all taxes that,
by applicable federal or state law, the Company is required to so withhold.

         Section 11. Certain Additional Payments by the Company.

                  (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or
distribution by, or benefit from, the Company or any of its Affiliates to or for
the benefit of the Employee, whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (any such
payments, distributions or benefits being individually referred to herein as a
"Payment," and any two or more of such payments, distributions or benefits being
referred to herein as "Payments"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12

Section 4999 of the Code (such excise tax, together with any interest thereon,
any penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts with respect to such
excise tax, and any interest in respect of such penalties, additions to tax or
additional amounts, being collectively referred herein to as the "Excise Tax"),
then the Employee shall be entitled to receive an additional payment or payments
(individually referred to herein as a "Gross-Up Payment" and any two or more of
such additional payments being referred to herein as "Gross-Up Payments") in an
amount such that after payment by the Employee of all taxes (as defined in
Section 11(k)) imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee retains an amount
of such Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

                  (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 11(c) through (i),
any determination (individually, a "Determination") required to be made under
this Section 11(b), including whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the
amount of such Gross-Up Payment, shall initially be made, at the Company's
expense, by nationally recognized tax counsel mutually acceptable to the Company
and the Employee ("Tax Counsel"). Tax Counsel shall provide detailed supporting
legal authorities, calculations, and documentation both to the Company and the
Employee within 15 business days of the termination of the Employee's
employment, if applicable, or such other time or times as is reasonably
requested by the Company or the Employee. If Tax Counsel makes the initial
Determination that no Excise Tax is payable by the Employee with respect to a
Payment or Payments, it shall furnish the Employee with an opinion reasonably
acceptable to the Employee that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to
any such Payment or Payments. The Employee shall have the right to dispute any
Determination (a "Dispute") within 15 business days after delivery of Tax
Counsel's opinion with respect to such Determination. The Gross-Up Payment, if
any, as determined pursuant to such Determination shall, at the Company's
expense, be paid by the Company to the Employee within five business days of the
Employee's receipt of such Determination. The existence of a Dispute shall not
in any way affect the Employee's right to receive the Gross-Up Payment in
accordance with such Determination. If there is no Dispute, such Determination
shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Employee,
subject in all respects, however, to the provisions of Section 11(c) through (i)
below. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and
280G of the Code, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments (or portions thereof)
which will not have been made by the Company should have been made
("Underpayment"), and if upon any reasonable written request from the Employee
or the Company to Tax Counsel, or upon Tax Counsel's own initiative, Tax
Counsel, at the Company's expense, thereafter determines that the Employee is
required to make a payment of any Excise Tax or any additional Excise Tax, as
the case may be, Tax Counsel shall, at the Company's expense, determine the
amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be
promptly paid by the Company to the Employee.

                  (c) The Company shall defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the
Employee on a fully grossed-up after tax basis from and against any and all
claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, impositions, assessments,
demands, judgements, settlements, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys', accountants', and experts' fees and expenses) with respect to any
tax liability of the Employee resulting

                                      -12-
<PAGE>   13

from any Final Determination (as defined in Section 11(j)) that any Payment is
subject to the Excise Tax.

                  (d) If a party hereto receives any written or oral
communication with respect to any question, adjustment, assessment or pending or
threatened audit, examination, investigation or administrative, court or other
proceeding which, if pursued successfully, could result in or give rise to a
claim by the Employee against the Company under this Section 11 ("Claim"),
including, but not limited to, a claim for indemnification of the Employee by
the Company under Section 11(c), then such party shall promptly notify the other
party hereto in writing of such Claim ("Tax Claim Notice").

                  (e) If a Claim is asserted against the Employee ("Employee
Claim"), the Employee shall take or cause to be taken such action in connection
with contesting such Employee Claim as the Company shall reasonably request in
writing from time to time, including the retention of counsel and experts as are
reasonably designated by the Company (it being understood and agreed by the
parties hereto that the terms of any such retention shall expressly provide that
the Company shall be solely responsible for the payment of any and all fees and
disbursements of such counsel and any experts) and the execution of powers of
attorney, provided that:

                           (i) within 30 calendar days after the Company
                  receives or delivers, as the case may be, the Tax Claim Notice
                  relating to such Employee Claim (or such earlier date that any
                  payment of the taxes claimed is due from the Employee, but in
                  no event sooner than five calendar days after the Company
                  receives or delivers such Tax Claim Notice), the Company shall
                  have notified the Employee in writing ("Election Notice") that
                  the Company does not dispute its obligations (including, but
                  not limited to, its indemnity obligations) under this
                  Agreement and that the Company elects to contest, and to
                  control the defense or prosecution of, such Employee Claim at
                  the Company's sole risk and sole cost and expense; and

                           (ii) the Company shall have advanced to the Employee
                  on an interest-free basis, the total amount of the tax claimed
                  in order for the Employee, at the Company's request, to pay or
                  cause to be paid the tax claimed, file a claim for refund of
                  such tax and, subject to the provisions of the last sentence
                  of Section 11(g), sue for a refund of such tax if such claim
                  for refund is disallowed by the appropriate taxing authority
                  (it being understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the
                  Company shall only be entitled to sue for a refund and the
                  Company shall not be entitled to initiate any proceeding in,
                  for example, United States Tax Court) and shall indemnify and
                  hold the Employee harmless, on a fully grossed-up after tax
                  basis, from any tax imposed with respect to such advance or
                  with respect to any imputed income with respect to such
                  advance; and

                                      -13-
<PAGE>   14

                           (iii) the Company shall reimburse the Employee for
                  any and all costs and expenses resulting from any such request
                  by the Company and shall indemnify and hold the Employee
                  harmless, on fully grossed-up after-tax basis, from any tax
                  imposed as a result of such reimbursement.

                  (f) Subject to the provisions of Section 11(e) hereof, the
Company shall have the right to defend or prosecute, at the sole cost, expense
and risk of the Company, such Employee Claim by all appropriate proceedings,
which proceedings shall be defended or prosecuted diligently by the Company to a
Final Determination; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not, without
the Employee's prior written consent, enter into any compromise or settlement of
such Employee Claim that would adversely affect the Employee, (ii) any request
from the Company to the Employee regarding any extension of the statute of
limitations relating to assessment, payment, or collection of taxes for the
taxable year of the Employee with respect to which the contested issues involved
in, and amount of, the Employee Claim relate is limited solely to such contested
issues and amount, and (iii) the Company's control of any contest or proceeding
shall be limited to issues with respect to the Employee Claim and the Employee
shall be entitled to settle or contest, in his sole and absolute discretion, any
other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing
authority. So long as the Company is diligently defending or prosecuting such
Employee Claim, the Employee shall provide or cause to be provided to the
Company any information reasonably requested by the Company that relates to such
Employee Claim, and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company and its
representatives in good faith in order to contest effectively such Employee
Claim. The Company shall keep the Employee informed of all developments and
events relating to any such Employee Claim (including, without limitation,
providing to the Employee copies of all written materials pertaining to any such
Employee Claim), and the Employee or his authorized representatives shall be
entitled, at the Employee's expense, to participate in all conferences, meetings
and proceedings relating to any such Employee Claim.

                  (g) If, after actual receipt by the Employee of an amount of a
tax claimed (pursuant to an Employee Claim) that has been advanced by the
Company pursuant to Section 11(e)(ii) hereof, the extent of the liability of the
Company hereunder with respect to such tax claimed has been established by a
Final Determination, the Employee shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to the
Company any refund actually received by, or actually credited to, the Employee
with respect to such tax (together with any interest paid or credited thereon by
the taxing authority and any recovery of legal fees from such taxing authority
related thereto), except to the extent that any amounts are then due and payable
by the Company to the Employee, whether under the provisions of this Agreement
or otherwise. If, after the receipt by the Employee of an amount advanced by the
Company pursuant to Section 11(e)(ii), a determination is made by the Internal
Revenue Service or other appropriate taxing authority that the Employee shall
not be entitled to any refund with respect to such tax claimed and the Company
does not notify the Employee in writing of its intent to contest such denial of
refund prior to the expiration of 30 calendar days after such determination,
then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and
the amount of such advance shall

                                      -14-
<PAGE>   15

offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of any Gross-Up Payments and other
payments required to be paid hereunder.

                  (h) With respect to any Employee Claim, if the Company fails
to deliver an Election Notice to the Employee within the period provided in
Section 11(e)(i) hereof or, after delivery of such Election Notice, the Company
fails to comply with the provisions of Section 11(e)(ii) and (iii) and (f)
hereof, then the Employee shall at any time thereafter have the right (but not
the obligation), at his election and in his sole and absolute discretion, to
defend or prosecute, at the sole cost, expense and risk of the Company, such
Employee Claim. The Employee shall have full control of such defense or
prosecution and such proceedings, including any settlement or compromise
thereof. If requested by the Employee, the Company shall cooperate, and shall
cause its Affiliates to cooperate, in good faith with the Employee and his
authorized representatives in order to contest effectively such Employee Claim.
The Company may attend, but not participate in or control, any defense,
prosecution, settlement or compromise of any Employee Claim controlled by the
Employee pursuant to this Section 11(h) and shall bear its own costs and
expenses with respect thereto. In the case of any Employee Claim that is
defended or prosecuted by the Employee, the Employee shall, from time to time,
be entitled to current payment, on a fully grossed-up after tax basis, from the
Company with respect to costs and expenses incurred by the Employee in
connection with such defense or prosecution.

                  (i) In the case of any Employee Claim that is defended or
prosecuted to a Final Determination pursuant to the terms of this Section 11(i),
the Company shall pay, on a fully grossed-up after tax basis, to the Employee in
immediately available funds the full amount of any taxes arising or resulting
from or incurred in connection with such Employee Claim that have not
theretofore been paid by the Company to the Employee, together with the costs
and expenses, on a fully grossed-up after tax basis, incurred in connection
therewith that have not theretofore been paid by the Company to the Employee,
within ten calendar days after such Final Determination. In the case of any
Employee Claim not covered by the preceding sentence, the Company shall pay, on
a fully grossed-up after tax basis, to the Employee in immediately available
funds the full amount of any taxes arising or resulting from or incurred in
connection with such Employee Claim at least ten calendar days before the date
payment of such taxes is due from the Employee, except where payment of such
taxes is sooner required under the provisions of this Section 11(i), in which
case payment of such taxes (and payment, on a fully grossed-up after tax basis,
of any costs and expenses required to be paid under this Section 11(i) shall be
made within the time and in the manner otherwise provided in this Section 11(i).

                  (j) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Final
Determination" shall mean (A) a decision, judgment, decree or other order by a
court or other tribunal with appropriate jurisdiction, which has become final
and non-appealable; (B) a final and binding settlement or compromise with an
administrative agency with appropriate jurisdiction, including, but not limited
to, a closing agreement under Section 7121 of the Code; (C) any disallowance of
a claim for refund or credit in respect to an overpayment

                                      -15-
<PAGE>   16

of tax unless a suit is filed on a timely basis; or (D) any final disposition by
reason of the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations.

                  (k) For purposes of this Agreement, the terms "tax" and
"taxes" mean any and all taxes of any kind whatsoever (including, but not
limited to, any and all Excise Taxes, income taxes, and employment taxes),
together with any interest thereon, any penalties, additions to tax, or
additional amounts with respect to such taxes and any interest in respect of
such penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts.

         Section 12. Expenses of Enforcement. If a Change in Control of the
Company shall have occurred before the expiration of the term of this Agreement,
then, upon demand by the Employee made to the Company, the Company shall
reimburse the Employee for the reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees
and expenses) incurred by the Employee in enforcing or seeking to enforce the
payment of any amount or other benefit to which the Employee shall have become
entitled pursuant to this Agreement, including those incurred in connection with
any arbitration initiated pursuant to Section 20. To the extent that any such
reimbursement would be subject to the Excise Tax, then the Employee shall be
entitled to receive Gross-Up Payments in an amount such that after payment by
the Employee of all taxes imposed on such Gross-Up Payments, the Employee
retains an amount equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the reimbursement, and
the other provisions of Section 11 hereof shall also apply to such circumstance
unless the context thereof otherwise indicates.

         Section 13. Employment by Wholly Owned Entities. If, at or after the
Effective Date, the Employee is or becomes an employee of one or more
corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies or other entities that
are, directly or indirectly, wholly owned by the Company ("Wholly Owned
Entities"), references in this Agreement to the Employee's employment by the
Company shall include the Employee's employment by any such Wholly Owned Entity.

         Section 14. No Obligation to Mitigate; No Rights of Offset.

                  (a) The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount
of any payment or other benefit required to be paid to the Employee pursuant to
this Agreement, whether by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the
amount of any such payment or other benefit be reduced on account of any
compensation earned by the Employee as a result of employment by another person.

                  (b) The Company's obligation to make the payments provided for
in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not
be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim,
right or action which the Company may have against the Employee or others.

         Section 15. Amendment and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be
amended or waived (whether by act or course of conduct or omission or otherwise)
unless that amendment or waiver is by written instrument signed by the parties
hereto. No

                                      -16-
<PAGE>   17

waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver
of any other or subsequent breach.

         Section 16. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction
and enforceability of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Oklahoma.

         Section 17. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.

         Section 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together will constitute the same instrument.

         Section 19. Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the Employee's legal representative. The Company may not
assign any of its obligations under this Agreement unless (i) such assignment is
to a Successor and (ii) the requirements of Section 8 are fulfilled.

         Section 20. Arbitration. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in
Section 11, any dispute between the parties arising out of this Agreement,
whether as to this Agreement's construction, interpretation or enforceability or
as to any party's breach or alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement,
shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the following procedures:

                           (i) Either party may demand such arbitration by
                  giving notice of that demand to the other party. The notice
                  shall state (x) the matter in controversy, and (y) the name of
                  the arbitrator selected by the party giving the notice.

                           (ii) Not more than 15 calendar days after such notice
                  is given, the other party shall give notice to the party who
                  demanded arbitration of the name of the arbitrator selected by
                  the other party. If the other party shall fail to timely give
                  such notice, the arbitrator that the other party was entitled
                  to select shall be named by the Arbitration Committee of the
                  American Arbitration Association. Not more than 15 calendar
                  days after the second arbitrator is so named, the two
                  arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator. If the two
                  arbitrators shall fail to timely select a third arbitrator,
                  the third arbitrator shall be named by the Arbitration
                  Committee of the American Arbitration Association.

                           (iii) The dispute shall be arbitrated at a hearing
                  that shall be concluded within ten days immediately following
                  the date the dispute is submitted to arbitration unless a
                  majority of the arbitrators shall elect to extend the period
                  of arbitration. Any award made by a majority of the
                  arbitrators (x) shall be made within ten days following the
                  conclusion of the arbitration hearing,

                                      -17-
<PAGE>   18

                  (y) shall be conclusive and binding on the parties, and (z)
                  may be made the subject of a judgment of any court having
                  jurisdiction.

                           (iv) All expenses of the arbitration shall be borne
                  by the Company.

The agreement of the parties contained in the foregoing provisions of this
Section 20 shall be a complete defense to any action, suit or other proceeding
instituted in any court or before any administrative tribunal with respect to
any dispute between the parties arising out of this Agreement.
