after such written notice is delivered to the Executive, or
(3) The Executive commits any acts of gross negligence, dishonesty, fraud, misrepresentation,
disclosure of Confidential Information (as defined in paragraph 8) that would be detrimental to the

9. Change in Control.
(a) In the event (i) the Company merges into or consolidates with another entity, or is
subject in any way to a transfer of a substantial amount of its assets, resulting in the assets,
business or operations of the Company being controlled by an entity or individual other than the
Company (a “Change of Ownership”), or there occurs any “Change in Control” (as defined below) of
the Company, and (ii) there is a significant change in the nature and scope of the duties and
powers of the Executive, as outlined in paragraph 3, or the Executive reasonably
determines that, as a result of the occurrence of one or more of the events described in
subparagraph 9(a)(i), he is unable to exercise or perform the powers, functions or duties as set
forth in this Agreement or the Executive has “good reason” to terminate, as that term is defined in
subparagraph 9(c), then the Executive shall be entitled, upon giving thirty (30) days advance
written notice to the Company, to terminate this Agreement and shall within 90 days after the
effective date of such termination, receive a lump sum amount equal to his base salary for twelve
(12) months at the rate in effect on the date such notice is given to the Company. The Executive
shall also be entitled to any Bonus payable to the Executive in accordance with paragraph 5. In
addition, the Executive shall be entitled to any money earned by the Executive under any Company
long-term incentive plan which would have become available following the date of termination of
this Agreement by the Executive.
(b) A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have taken place if (i) a third person, including
a group of individuals or entities, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the Company having
fifty (50%) percent or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of
Directors of the Company, or (ii) as a result of, or in connection with any cash tender or exchange
offer, merger, consolidation or other business combination, or sale of assets, or any combination
of the foregoing events, the persons who are directors of the Company before the occurrence of such
event or events cease to constitute twenty-five (25%) percent of the Board of Directors of the
Company.
(c) For purposes of paragraph 9(a)(ii) the Executive shall be deemed to have “good reason” to
terminate his employment with the Company pursuant to paragraph 9(a)(ii) if any of the following

position, duties, responsibilities, and status with the Company immediately prior to the Change in
Control or Change of Ownership;
(2) A material change in the Executive’s reporting responsibilities, titles or offices as in
effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or Change of Ownership, or any removal of the
Executive from or any failure to re-elect the Executive to such office, unless such removal or
failure to elect is for cause.
(3) A reduction in base salary under the Executive’s wage and salary program in effect
immediately prior to the Change in Control or Change of Ownership.
(4) A failure by the Company to continue any incentive programs for executives applicable to
the Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control or Change of Ownership, the effect of
which failure would be to materially reduce the incentive compensation which would be payable to
the Executive but for discontinuance of such programs.
Executive Employment Agreement
7
(5) The Executive is requested without his consent to relocate his office to a location more
than One Hundred (100) miles from its location immediately prior to the Change in Control or Change
in Ownership.
(6) the event the Executive consents to any relocation of his office and such relocation
necessitates the Executive moving from his then current residence (the “Prior Residence”), the
failure by the Company to pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable moving expenses
incurred with respect to a new residence (“New Residence”) and to indemnify the Executive against
any relocation loss incurred by the Executive in relocating to his New Residence which loss shall
be the amount, if any, by which the actual sales price of the Prior Residence is exceeded by the
higher of the Executive’s aggregate investment in the Prior Residence or the fair market value of
the Prior Residence as established by an independent appraiser designated by the Executive and
acceptable to the Corporation.
(7) Failure of the Company to continue in effect any benefit or compensation plan or
arrangement in which the Executive was participating immediately preceding the Change in Control or
Change of Ownership, or the taking of any action by the Company not required by law which would
adversely affect the Executive’s participation in or materially reduce Executive’s benefits from
such a plan.
10. Termination Payment Maximum. If any payments under this Agreement, when
aggregated with any other Company payments to the Executive from other policies, plans and
agreements of the Company that are deemed to constitute “golden parachute” payments (as defined in
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) (“Code”), exceed the maximum amount
of golden parachute compensation under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code that may be paid without
tax penalties to the Executive and the loss or partial loss of the compensation tax deduction to
the Company, then the Executive shall specify which of his payments shall be reduced until his
aggregate golden parachute compensation reaches the highest amount permissible without triggering
tax penalties to the Executive and the loss or partial loss of the compensation tax deduction to
the Company under Code Sections 280G and 4999; provided, however, that when the Executive
designates which of his Company golden parachute payments shall be reduced to meet the limitations
under Code Sections 280G and 4999, no change in the timing of the payments shall be made without
the consent of the Company.
11. Post-Termination Obligations. The Company and the Executive covenant and agree:
(a) That the Executive shall not, for the twelve (12) months following the date of termination
of this Agreement, either directly or indirectly as an agent, employee, consultant, investor or
owner, unless acting with the prior written consent of the Board of Directors, associate himself
with any other entity which directly competes with the Company, nor will the Executive divert or
attempt to divert from the Company any business whatsoever by influencing or attempting to
influence any customers of the Company within any jurisdiction within which
the Company or any subsidiary thereof provides clinical decision support or service, or within
any county contiguous thereto;
Executive Employment Agreement
8
(b) That a breach of the obligations imposed on the Executive in this paragraph 11 regarding
competition with the Company may not be one which is capable of being easily measured by monetary
damages. Consequently, the Executive specifically agrees that this paragraph 11 may be enforced by
injunctive relief. Further, the Executive specifically agrees that, in addition to such injunctive
relief, and not in lieu of it, the Company may also bring suit for damages if such is incurred by
the Company as a result of a breach of the Executive’s obligations under this paragraph 11; and,
(c) That in the event a court of competent jurisdiction finds any of the provisions of this
paragraph to be so overbroad as to be unenforceable, it is the parties’ intention that such
provision be reduced in scope by the court, but only to the extent deemed necessary by the court to
render the provision reasonable and enforceable, keeping in mind that it is the Executive’s
intention to give the Company the broadest possible protection against harmful future competition.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be permitted to continue or expand his
not-for-profit endeavors on behalf of the Xxxxxxxxx Research Institute without being found in
violation of this paragraph 11.
12. Settlement of Controversy and Expenses.
(a) Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be
settled exclusively by arbitration in Michigan in accordance with the Voluntary Labor Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The arbitrator shall be chosen
mutually by the parties and shall not have jurisdiction or authority to change, add to or subtract
from any of the provisions of this Agreement. The arbitration decision shall be final and binding
and judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction.
(b) In the event proceedings are brought to enforce any provision in this Agreement and the
Executive prevails, then he shall be entitled to recover from the Company his reasonable costs and
expenses of the proceeding, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and what would
otherwise be the Executive’s portion of the costs of arbitration. If the Company prevails, then
each party shall be responsible for his/its respective costs, expenses and attorneys fees and the
costs of arbitration shall be equally divided. In the event it is determined that the Executive is
entitled to compensation, legal fees and expenses hereunder, he also shall be entitled to interest
thereon, payable to him at the prime rate of interest of 7% per annum, as in effect from time to
time during the period from the date such amounts should have been paid to the date of actual
payment. For purposes of determining the date when legal fees and expenses are payable, such
amounts shall not be due until 30 days after notification to the Company of such amounts.

13. Successors; Binding Agreement.
(a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and
agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform this Agreement if no such succession had taken place. As used in this
Agreement, “the Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined, and any successor to its
business and/or assets as aforesaid, which successor executes and delivers the agreement provided
for in this Section 13 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this
Agreement by operation of law.
(b) This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.
14. Notices. Any notices to be given hereunder by either party to the other may be
effected either by personal delivery in writing or by mail, registered or certified, postage
prepaid with return receipt requested. Mailed notices shall be addressed to the parties at the
following addresses, but each party may change his address by written notice in accordance with
