Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to
section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the provisions of Item 512(h)(1-3) of Regulation S-K under the
Exchange Act, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.&#160; In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Incorporation
of Documents by Reference
.
The Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") allows Merge Technologies Incorporated (the
"Registrant") to "incorporate by reference" in this registration statement the
information in the documents that it files with the SEC, which means that the
Registrant can disclose important information to you by referring you to those
documents.  The following documents filed
by the Registrant with the SEC are incorporated herein by reference and made a
part hereof:
(a)
The
Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004,
which was filed with the SEC on March 7, 2005.
(b)
The
Registrant's Current Reports filed on Form 8-K on January 18, 2005; January 31,
2005; February 16, 2005; and April 29, 2005 other than any information
furnished under either Item 9 or Item 12 of any such Current Report on Form
8-K.

the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A dated January 9, 1998.
All documents filed by
the Registrant subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement pursuant
to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"), prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or
which deregisters all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the
filing of such documents.
The documents incorporated by reference herein may
contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The
Registrant's actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
.
Under Wisconsin law, our directors and officers are
entitled to mandatory indemnification from the Registrant against certain
liabilities and expenses (a) to the extent such officers or directors are
successful in the defense of a proceeding, and (b) in connection with proceedings
in which the director or officer is not successful in the defense thereof,
unless (in the latter case only) it is determined that the director or officer
breached or failed to
2
perform his or her duties
to the Registrant and such breach or failure constituted: (i) a willful failure
to deal fairly with the Registrant or our shareholders in connection with a
matter in which the director or officer had a material conflict of interest;
(ii) a violation of the criminal law unless the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (iii) a transaction from
which the director or officer derived an improper personal profit; or (iv)
willful misconduct.  Wisconsin law allows
a corporation to limit its obligation to indemnify officers and directors by
providing so in its articles of incorporation. The Registrant's Bylaws provide
for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted
by Wisconsin law.

Item 9.
Undertakings
.
The undersigned
Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
Statement;
(iii)
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the Registration Statement;
provided,
however
, that Registrant may not file such a post-effective
amendment if the information required to be included in the post-effective
amendment is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC
by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
3
(2)
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
The undersigned
Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the provisions of Item 512(h)(1-3) of Regulation S-K under the
Exchange Act, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
