ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITVE AGREEMENT

Fourth Supplemental Indenture

On April 16, 2013, Merge Healthcare Incorporated (the “Company”), in connection with its previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) and related consent solicitation (“the “Consent Solicitation”) for any and all of its outstanding 11.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”), entered into the Fourth Supplemental Indenture (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated April 28, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined therein) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee and as Collateral Agent governing the Notes.

The Fourth Supplemental Indenture amends the Indenture and the Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default contained in the Indenture, releases all of the collateral securing the Notes, shortens the minimum notice period required for the Company to redeem Notes from thirty days to three business days prior to the redemption date, and modifies certain other related provisions contained in the Indenture. The amendments and release of collateral contained in the Fourth Supplemental Indenture will not become operative until the purchase of validly tendered Notes in accordance with the terms of the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated April 2, 2013.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
