CareScience, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (hereinafter "Company") desire and
intend to enter into an employment relationship, all as set forth below;
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the promises and
mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, voluntarily and knowingly, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree as follows:
1. EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES.
(a) Company hereby employs Executive for the Term (as such
term is hereinafter defined) to render services to the Company as its CHIEF
MEDICAL OFFICER, CADUCIS DIVISION. Executive shall have the overall duties as
described in the job description attached hereto as Exhibit A "Chief Medical
Officer Job Description," as well as any other duties that are generally
consistent with the role and duties of a Chief Medical Officer as may be
directed from time to time by the Chief Operating Officer. Executive will be
based from his home, but will be required to travel regularly (typically
averaging once per week), to destinations that will include CareScience' offices
in Philadelphia and customer sites during the course of his employment.
Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to render the services
described herein, all on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b) Executive agrees to devote his entire working time,
attention and energies to the performance of the business of the Company and its
affiliates (as hereinafter defined); and Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, alone or as a member of any partnership or other organization, or as
an officer, director or employee of any other corporation, partnership or other
organization, be actively engaged in or concerned with any other duties or
pursuits which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, interfere with the
performance of his duties hereunder, or which, even if non-interfering, are
contrary to the best interests of the Company and its affiliates; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that Executive may invest his personal or family assets in such form or
manner as will not require any services on his part in the operation of the
affairs of the enterprises in which such investments are made and in which his
participation is solely that of a minority investor; FURTHER, PROVIDED, that the
Executive may engage in charitable, civic, fraternal or trade group activities,
so long as such activities shall not violate any provision of this Agreement or
interfere with his performance hereunder or compliance with the restrictions
contained herein. As used herein, the term "affiliate" means and includes any
person, corporation or other entity controlling, controlled by or under common
control with the Company.
1
2. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT.
The term of Executive's employment under this Agreement (the
"Term") will commence as March 29,1999 (the "Effective Date") and shall end on
the fourth anniversary hereof (the "Initial Term"). Unless either party provides
at least six (6) months advance written notice of termination to the other party
prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically
continue, on the same terms and conditions as contained herein, until such time
as one party provides the other with at least six (6) months advance written
notice of termination (any such period beyond the Initial Term being referred to
as the "Extension Term", and both the Initial Term and any Extension Term
referred to collectively as the "Term"). A notice of termination during any
Extension Term may be provided for any reason by either party with at least six
(6) months advance written notice as established above.
3. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.
(a) BASE SALARY. As compensation for the services to be
rendered by Executive hereunder, including all
services to any subsidiary or affiliate of the
Company, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be
paid to Executive, during the first year of the term
of his Employment hereunder, an annual base salary of
$185,000 (the "Base Salary"). For each subsequent
year of the Term, the Base Salary will be reviewed
annually by the Company and may be increased, but may
not be decreased for subsequent years. Executive's
Base Salary shall be payable in such installments as
is the policy of the Company generally with respect
to employees of the Company.
(b) STOCK OPTION GRANT. In addition to his Base Salary,
Executive was previously awarded the stock option grants attached hereto as
Exhibits 3B-1 and 3B-2 "Non-Qualified Stock Option Grants."
(c) EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT. The Company shall pay or reimburse
Executive for all reasonable business expenses actually incurred or paid by him
during the Term in the performance of his services under this Agreement, upon
presentation of expense statements or vouchers or such other supporting
information as it reasonably may require. Executive agrees to adhere to
Company's travel policy requirements in determining reasonableness for such
expenses.
(d) FRINGE BENEFITS. Executive shall be eligible under any
incentive plan, stock option plan, bonus, profit participation, pension, group
insurance or other benefit plans (both qualified and non-qualified for federal
tax purposes) or other so-called "fringe" benefits, if any, which the Company
generally provides to its executives.

either: (a) participating in the Company's medical plans as for all Company
executives or (b) receiving a premium

contribution equal to the average contribution made by the Company for the
appropriate category (currently "individual plus spouse") across the medical
plans offered by the Company. If Executive selects the premium contribution
(option (b)), he shall separately purchase medical insurance and provide proof
of such insurance to the Company or otherwise provide a written waiver of
medical benefits to the Company.

vacation plus all federal holidays, in each calendar year.

requirements may be maintained through activities other than CME conference
attendance.
4. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.
(a) Subject to the provisions below, Executive shall not,

not acquiring the information under an obligation of confidentiality from the
disclosing party and intended for the benefit of the Company.
(b) All information and documents relating to the Company and

effect without regard to the invalid portions.
(c) If any of the covenants contained herein or under the
Non-Competition or Invention Assignment Agreements, or any part hereof or

or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such
determination shall have the power to reduce the duration, scope and/or areas of
such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be
enforceable.
(d) The existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive

defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants contained herein, but
such claim or cause of action shall be pursued separately.

this Agreement shall immediately cease.
(b) EXECUTIVE'S DEATH DURING THE TERM; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that

written decision setting forth the reasons for the decision or award to be made.

party to the arbitration for the production of documents and things reasonably
related to the issues being arbitrated, the party upon whom such demand is made
shall promptly produce, or make available for inspection and copying, such
documents and things without the necessity of any action by the

EXHIBIT B - 1
EMPLOYEE GRANT LETTER
CARE MANAGEMENT SCIENCE CORPORATION
1995 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT
THIS NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT, dated as of MARCH 29, 1999 (the
"Date of Grant"), is delivered by CARE MANAGEMENT SCIENCE CORPORATION (together
with its subsidiaries hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company"), to
XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX, M.D., a key employee of the Company (the "Grantee").
RECITALS
A. The Care Management Science Corporation 1995 Equity Compensation
Plan (the "Plan") provides for the grant of stock options to key employees of
the Company, to purchase shares of Common Stock, no par value, of the Company
(the "Shares"), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.
B. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has determined
that it would be to the advantage and interest of the Company to make the grant
provided for herein as an inducement for the Grantee to continue as a key
employee of the Company and to promote the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF OPTION.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company
hereby grants to the Grantee an option to purchase an aggregate number of
Shares at the option price set forth below (the "Option"):
A Nonqualified Stock Option to purchase 40,750 Shares at an option price of
$1.25 per Share, which shall be exercisable to the extent vested as
provided in Paragraph 6 below.
2. NATURE OF OPTION.
The Option designated hereunder shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option
which is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
The Board shall interpret and construe the
10
Option in accordance with this designation and pursuant to the terms of
the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any question
arising hereunder.
3. RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE.
During the Grantee's lifetime, exercise of the Option shall be solely
by the Grantee and, upon the Grantee's death, the Option shall be
exercisable (subject to the limitations specified in the Plan) solely by
the legal representatives of the Grantee, or by the person or persons who
acquire the right to exercise the Option by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, to the extent that the Option is exercisable pursuant to
the provisions of Paragraphs 5 and 6.
4. EXERCISE PROCEDURES.
The Grantee may exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of
the Shares then subject to such exercise by giving the Board written notice
of intent to exercise in the manner provided in Paragraph 17 hereof. Such
notice shall specify the number of Shares as to which this Option is to be
exercised and the date of delivery thereof, which date shall be at least 15
days after the giving of such notice unless an earlier date shall have been
mutually agreed upon; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO SUCH EXERCISE MAY OCCUR
DURING ANY PERIOD WHICH THE COMMITTEE HAS DESIGNATED IN WRITING AS A
PROHIBITED EXERCISE PERIOD. On such delivery date, the Grantee shall pay
the applicable exercise price in cash, by surrender of Shares of the
Company at their fair market value on the date of delivery or pursuant to a
loan from the Company in accordance with Section 5(g) of the Plan. Upon
such payment, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee at the then
executive office of the Company, or such other place as may be mutually
acceptable to the Company and the Grantee, a certificate or certificates
for such Shares out of heretofore unissued Shares or reacquired Shares, as
the Company may elect.
On and after the date of the initial registration of the Company's
securities under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), in lieu of the foregoing, such notice may instruct the
Company to deliver Shares due upon the exercise of the Option to any
registered broker or dealer in lieu of delivery to the Grantee. Such
instructions must designate the account into which the Shares are to be
deposited. The Grantee may tender this notice of exercise, which has been
properly executed by the Grantee, and the aforementioned delivery
instructions to any broker or dealer.
The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares upon such exercise of
the Option shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, regulations and
such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the
Board, including, among other things, such steps as Company counsel shall
deem necessary or appropriate to comply with relevant securities laws and
regulations. All obligations of the Company hereunder shall be subject to
11
the rights of the Company as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts
required to be withheld for any taxes. If the Grantee fails to accept
delivery of, or to pay for, any of the Shares specified in such notice upon
tender of delivery thereof, the Grantee's right to purchase such
undelivered Shares may be terminated, at the sole discretion of the Board.
The date that notice of an election to exercise is received by the Company
shall be deemed the date of exercise hereunder.
5. TERM OF OPTION.
The Option granted hereunder shall have a term of ten (10) years from
the Date of Grant shall terminate at the expiration of that period, unless
it is terminated at an earlier date pursuant to the further provisions of
this Agreement.
The Option shall automatically terminate upon the happening of certain
events, including (i) the expiration of the 60-day period after the
Grantee's termination of employment from the Company for any reason other
than disability (within the meaning of section 22(e)(3) of the Code),
death, retirement approved by the Company or "termination for cause," (ii)
the expiration of the six-month period after the Grantee's termination of
employment from the Company on account of disability (as defined herein),
or retirement approved by the Company, (iii) the expiration of the one-year
period after the Grantee's termination of employment from the Company on
account of death, or (iv) the date of the Grantee's "termination for cause"
by the Company, as determined in Executive's Employment Agreement with the
Company.
6. VESTING AND FORFEITURE OF OPTION.
The Option shall become vested in four (4) installments (50% of the
shares in four equal yearly installments of 12.5% each, and a single lump
sum installment of 50% upon the conclusion of the fourth year), the Grantee
having the right hereunder to purchase from the Company, on and after the
following dates, the following numbers of shares of Common Stock if the
Grantee is employed by the Company on such date:
March 29, 2000 12.5% 5,09410,188 shares;
March 29, 2001 12.5% an additional 5,094 shares;
March 29, 2002 12.5% an additional 5,094 shares;
March 29, 2003 62.5% an additional 25,468 shares.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Option shall become fully-vested upon a Change
of Control of the Company (as defined in Section 11 of the Plan) and the
other provisions specified in the
12
Plan relating to the consequences of a Change of Control shall apply,
including Sections 5(f)(1)(B) and 12.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN THE PLAN,
IF THE GRANTEE SHALL CEASE TO BE AN EMPLOYEE ON ACCOUNT OF "TERMINATION FOR
CAUSE", AS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH EXECUTIVE'S EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
WITH THE COMPANY BEFORE ANY CHANGE OF CONTROL OF THE COMPANY, THE
UNEXERCISED PORTION OF THE OPTION AND ANY AND ALL RIGHTS HEREUNDER SHALL
IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE AND BE VOID.
7. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
Prior to the date of the initial registration of the Company's
securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, if at any time the
Grantee desires to sell, encumber, or otherwise dispose of the Shares, he
shall first offer the same to the Company by giving the Company written
notice disclosing: (a) the name(s) of the proposed transferee of the
Shares; (b) the certificate number and number of Shares proposed to be
transferred or encumbered; (c) the proposed price; and (d) all other terms
of the proposed transfer. Within fourteen (14) days after receipt of such
notice, the Company shall have the option to purchase all or part of such
Shares. If the Company decides to exercise this option, the purchase price
of the Shares shall be the proposed price and may be payable, at the
discretion of the Board, in substantially equal installments over the
one-year period from the date of purchase.
In the event the Company does not exercise the option to purchase the
Shares, as provided above, the Grantee shall have the right to sell,
encumber, or otherwise dispose of his Shares on the terms of the transfer
set forth in the written notice to the Company, provided such transfer is
effected within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the option
period. If the transfer is not effected within such period, the Company
must again be given an option to purchase, as provided above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board, in its sole discretion, may
waive the Company's right of first refusal pursuant to this Paragraph to
the extent that exercise of such right would cause any share of Company
Stock issued by the Company to fail to meet the requirements of "qualified
small business stock" within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code. To
the extent that the Company's right of first refusal is so waived, the
Board may, in its sole discretion, pass-through such right to the remaining
stockholders of the Company on a pro-rata basis. To the extent that a
stockholder has been given such right and does not purchase his pro-rata
allotment, the other stockholders shall have the right to purchase such
allotment on a pro-rata basis.
13
On and after the date of the initial registration of the Company's
securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall have
no further right to purchase the Shares pursuant to this Paragraph and its
limitations shall be null and void.
8. RIGHT OF REPURCHASE UPON DEATH OR TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.
PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE INITIAL REGISTRATION OF THE COMPANY'S
SECURITIES UNDER SECTION 12(g) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT, THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE
THE RIGHT TO REPURCHASE THE SHARES UPON THE DEATH OR TERMINATION OF
EMPLOYMENT OF THE GRANTEE FOR ANY REASON AT A PRICE PAID IN CASH EQUAL TO
THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE SHARES AS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD IMMEDIATELY
PRECEDING THE DATE THE SHARES ARE TO BE SOLD. AT THE DISCRETION OF THE
BOARD, PAYMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE OF SUCH SHARES MAY BE MADE IN
SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL INSTALLMENTS OVER THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD FROM THE DATE OF
PURCHASE.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board, in its sole discretion, may
waive the Company's right of repurchase pursuant to this Paragraph to the
extent that the repurchase would cause any Company Stock issued by the
Company to fail to meet the requirements of "qualified small business
stock" within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code. To the extent that
the Company's repurchase right is so waived, the Board may, in its sole
discretion, pass-through such right to the remaining stockholders of the
Company on a pro-rata basis. To the extent that a stockholder has been
given such right and does not purchase his pro-rata allotment, the other
stockholders shall have the right to purchase such allotment on a pro-rata
basis.
On and after the date of the initial registration of the Company's
securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall have
no further right to purchase the Shares pursuant to this Paragraph and its
limitations shall be null and void.
9. NON-COMPETE.
This grant is made subject to the terms and conditions of the
non-compete/confidentiality agreement attached as Exhibit D to the
Employment Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by
reference.
10. GRANT SUBJECT TO PLAN PROVISIONS.
This Grant is made pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the terms of
which are incorporated herein by reference, and shall in all respects be
interpreted in accordance therewith. The granting and exercise of the
Option are subject to the provisions of the Plan and to interpretations,
regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to
time by the Board in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including,
but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) rights and obligations
with respect to withholding taxes, (ii) the
14
registration, qualification or listing of the Shares, (iii) capital or
other changes of the Company and (iv) other requirements of applicable law.
11. NO RIGHTS TO EMPLOYMENT.
Neither the granting of the Option nor any other action taken with
respect to the Option or the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any right

the right of the Company to terminate at will the Grantee's employment with

EMPLOYEE GRANT LETTER
CARE MANAGEMENT SCIENCE CORPORATION
1995 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT
THIS NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT, dated as of MARCH 29, 1999 (the
"Date of Grant"), is delivered by CARE MANAGEMENT SCIENCE CORPORATION (together
with its subsidiaries hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company"), to
XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX, M.D., a key employee of the Company (the "Grantee").
RECITALS
A. The Care Management Science Corporation 1995 Equity Compensation
Plan (the "Plan") provides for the grant of stock options to key employees of
the Company, to purchase shares of Common Stock, no par value, of the Company
(the "Shares"), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.
B. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has determined
that it would be to the advantage and interest of the Company to make the grant
provided for herein as an inducement for the Grantee to continue as a key
employee of the Company and to promote the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, agree as follows:
7. GRANT OF OPTION.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company
hereby grants to the Grantee an option to purchase an aggregate number of
Shares at the option price set forth below (the "Option"):
A Nonqualified Stock Option to purchase 19,702 Shares at an option
price of $2.59 per Share, which shall be exercisable to the extent vested
as provided in Paragraph 6 below.
8. NATURE OF OPTION.
The Option designated hereunder shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option
which is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
The Board shall interpret and construe the
17
Option in accordance with this designation and pursuant to the terms of the
Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any question arising
hereunder.
9. RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE.
During the Grantee's lifetime, exercise of the Option shall be solely
by the Grantee and, upon the Grantee's death, the Option shall be
exercisable (subject to the limitations specified in the Plan) solely by
the legal representatives of the Grantee, or by the person or persons who
acquire the right to exercise the Option by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, to the extent that the Option is exercisable pursuant to
the provisions of Paragraphs 5 and 6.
10. EXERCISE PROCEDURES.
The Grantee may exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of
the Shares then subject to such exercise by giving the Board written notice
of intent to exercise in the manner provided in Paragraph 17 hereof. Such
notice shall specify the number of Shares as to which this Option is to be
exercised and the date of delivery thereof, which date shall be at least 15
days after the giving of such notice unless an earlier date shall have been
mutually agreed upon; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO SUCH EXERCISE MAY OCCUR
DURING ANY PERIOD WHICH THE COMMITTEE HAS DESIGNATED IN WRITING AS A
PROHIBITED EXERCISE PERIOD. On such delivery date, the Grantee shall pay
the applicable exercise price in cash, by surrender of Shares of the
Company at their fair market value on the date of delivery or pursuant to a
loan from the Company in accordance with Section 5(g) of the Plan. Upon
such payment, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee at the then
executive office of the Company, or such other place as may be mutually
acceptable to the Company and the Grantee, a certificate or certificates
for such Shares out of heretofore unissued Shares or reacquired Shares, as
the Company may elect.
On and after the date of the initial registration of the Company's
securities under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), in lieu of the foregoing, such notice may instruct the
Company to deliver Shares due upon the exercise of the Option to any
registered broker or dealer in lieu of delivery to the Grantee. Such
instructions must designate the account into which the Shares are to be
deposited. The Grantee may tender this notice of exercise, which has been
properly executed by the Grantee, and the aforementioned delivery
instructions to any broker or dealer.
The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares upon such exercise of
the Option shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, regulations and
such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the
Board, including, among other things, such steps as Company counsel shall
deem necessary or appropriate to comply with relevant securities laws and
regulations. All obligations of the Company hereunder shall be subject to
18
the rights of the Company as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts
required to be withheld for any taxes. If the Grantee fails to accept
delivery of, or to pay for, any of the Shares specified in such notice upon
tender of delivery thereof, the Grantee's right to purchase such
undelivered Shares may be terminated, at the sole discretion of the Board.
The date that notice of an election to exercise is received by the Company
shall be deemed the date of exercise hereunder.
11. TERM OF OPTION.
The Option granted hereunder shall have a term of ten (10) years from
the Date of Grant shall terminate at the expiration of that period, unless
it is terminated at an earlier date pursuant to the further provisions of
this Agreement.
The Option shall automatically terminate upon the happening of certain
events, including (i) the expiration of the 60-day period after the
Grantee's termination of employment from the Company for any reason other
than disability (within the meaning of section 22(e)(3) of the Code),
death, retirement approved by the Company or "termination for cause," (ii)
the expiration of the six-month period after the Grantee's termination of
employment from the Company on account of disability (as defined herein),
or retirement approved by the Company, (iii) the expiration of the one-year
period after the Grantee's termination of employment from the Company on
account of death, or (iv) the date of the Grantee's "termination for cause"
by the Company, as determined in Executive's Employment Agreement with the
Company.
12. VESTING AND FORFEITURE OF OPTION.
The Option shall become vested in four (4) installments (50% of the
shares in four equal yearly installments of 12.5% each, and a single lump
sum installment of 50% upon the conclusion of the fourth year), the Grantee
having the right hereunder to purchase from the Company, on and after the
following dates, the following numbers of shares of Common Stock if the
Grantee is employed by the Company on such date:
March 29, 2000 12.5% 2,463 shares;
March 29, 2001 12.5% an additional 2,463 shares;
March 29, 2002 12.5% an additional 2,463 shares;
March 29, 2003 62.5% an additional 12,313 shares.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Option shall become fully-vested upon a Change
of Control of the Company (as defined in Section 11 of the Plan) and the
other provisions specified in the
19
Plan relating to the consequences of a Change of Control shall apply,
including Sections 5(f)(1)(B) and 12.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN THE PLAN,
IF THE GRANTEE SHALL CEASE TO BE AN EMPLOYEE ON ACCOUNT OF "TERMINATION FOR
CAUSE", AS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH EXECUTIVE'S EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
WITH THE COMPANY BEFORE ANY CHANGE OF CONTROL OF THE COMPANY, THE
UNEXERCISED PORTION OF THE OPTION AND ANY AND ALL RIGHTS HEREUNDER SHALL
IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE AND BE VOID.
18. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
Prior to the date of the initial registration of the Company's
securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, if at any time the
Grantee desires to sell, encumber, or otherwise dispose of the Shares, he
shall first offer the same to the Company by giving the Company written
notice disclosing: (a) the name(s) of the proposed transferee of the
Shares; (b) the certificate number and number of Shares proposed to be
transferred or encumbered; (c) the proposed price; and (d) all other terms
of the proposed transfer. Within fourteen (14) days after receipt of such
notice, the Company shall have the option to purchase all or part of such
Shares. If the Company decides to exercise this option, the purchase price
of the Shares shall be the proposed price and may be payable, at the
discretion of the Board, in substantially equal installments over the
one-year period from the date of purchase.
In the event the Company does not exercise the option to purchase the
Shares, as provided above, the Grantee shall have the right to sell,
encumber, or otherwise dispose of his Shares on the terms of the transfer
set forth in the written notice to the Company, provided such transfer is
effected within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the option
period. If the transfer is not effected within such period, the Company
must again be given an option to purchase, as provided above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board, in its sole discretion, may
waive the Company's right of first refusal pursuant to this Paragraph to
the extent that exercise of such right would cause any share of Company
Stock issued by the Company to fail to meet the requirements of "qualified
small business stock" within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code. To
the extent that the Company's right of first refusal is so waived, the
Board may, in its sole discretion, pass-through such right to the remaining
stockholders of the Company on a pro-rata basis. To the extent that a
stockholder has been given such right and does not purchase his pro-rata
allotment, the other stockholders shall have the right to purchase such
allotment on a pro-rata basis.
20
On and after the date of the initial registration of the Company's
securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall have
no further right to purchase the Shares pursuant to this Paragraph and its
limitations shall be null and void.
19. RIGHT OF REPURCHASE UPON DEATH OR TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.
PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE INITIAL REGISTRATION OF THE COMPANY'S
SECURITIES UNDER SECTION 12(g) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT, THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE
THE RIGHT TO REPURCHASE THE SHARES UPON THE DEATH OR TERMINATION OF
EMPLOYMENT OF THE GRANTEE FOR ANY REASON AT A PRICE PAID IN CASH EQUAL TO
THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE SHARES AS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD IMMEDIATELY
PRECEDING THE DATE THE SHARES ARE TO BE SOLD. AT THE DISCRETION OF THE
BOARD, PAYMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE OF SUCH SHARES MAY BE MADE IN
SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL INSTALLMENTS OVER THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD FROM THE DATE OF
PURCHASE.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board, in its sole discretion, may
waive the Company's right of repurchase pursuant to this Paragraph to the
extent that the repurchase would cause any Company Stock issued by the
Company to fail to meet the requirements of "qualified small business
stock" within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code. To the extent that
the Company's repurchase right is so waived, the Board may, in its sole
discretion, pass-through such right to the remaining stockholders of the
Company on a pro-rata basis. To the extent that a stockholder has been
given such right and does not purchase his pro-rata allotment, the other
stockholders shall have the right to purchase such allotment on a pro-rata
basis.
On and after the date of the initial registration of the Company's
securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall have
no further right to purchase the Shares pursuant to this Paragraph and its
limitations shall be null and void.
20. NON-COMPETE.
This grant is made subject to the terms and conditions of the
non-compete/confidentiality agreement attached as Exhibit D to the
Employment Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by
reference.
21. GRANT SUBJECT TO PLAN PROVISIONS.
This Grant is made pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the terms of
which are incorporated herein by reference, and shall in all respects be
interpreted in accordance therewith. The granting and exercise of the
Option are subject to the provisions of the Plan and to interpretations,
regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to
time by the Board in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including,
but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) rights and obligations
with respect to withholding taxes, (ii) the
21
registration, qualification or listing of the Shares, (iii) capital or
other changes of the Company and (iv) other requirements of applicable law.
22. NO RIGHTS TO EMPLOYMENT.
Neither the granting of the Option nor any other action taken with
respect to the Option or the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any right
to continue as an employee of the Company or interfere in any way with the
right of the Company to terminate Grantee's employment with the Company at
any time. Except as may be otherwise limited by another written agreement,
the right of the Company to terminate at will the Grantee's employment with
it at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge, retirement or otherwise)
is specifically reserved.
23. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.
Neither the Grantee, nor any person entitled to exercise the Grantee's
rights in the event of the Grantee's death, shall have any of the rights
and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to the
Option, except to the extent that certificates for such Shares shall have
been issued upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein.
24. CANCELLATION OR AMENDMENT.
This grant may be canceled or amended by the Board, in whole or in
part, at any time if the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that
cancellation or amendment is necessary or advisable in light of any change
after the Date of Grant in (a) the Code or the regulations issued
thereunder or (b) any federal or state securities law or other law or
regulation, which change by its term is effective retroactively to a date
on or before the Date of Grant; provided, however, that no such
cancellation or amendment shall, without the Grantee's consent, apply to or
affect installments that matured on or before the date on which the Board
makes such determination.
25. BOARD AUTHORITY.
The Board shall have the right to interpret the Option, to make factual
determinations and this instrument and its decisions with respect thereto
shall be conclusive upon any question arising hereunder.

26. ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFERS.
The rights and interests of the Grantee under this Agreement may not be
sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of
the death of the Grantee, by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. In the event of any attempt by the Grantee to alienate,
assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Option or any
right hereunder, except as provided for herein, or in the event of the levy
of any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interest
hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Option by notice to the
Grantee and the Option and all rights hereunder shall thereupon become null
and void.
27. APPLICABLE LAW.
The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this
instrument shall be governed by and determined in accordance with the laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
28. NOTICE.
Any notice to the Company provided for in this instrument shall be

CareScience, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"),

Employee Name" ("Employee"), with a Nonqualified Stock Option Grant of even date
herewith (the "Stock Option Grant"). In addition to the Company's desire to
incent the Employee and the Employee's desire to serve the Company, the Employee
understands that the Company wishes to ensure that the Employee does not compete

Option Grant, in the event the Employee's employment with the Company is
terminated.
In consideration of the Company's employment of me and in order to induce
the Company to provide me with the Stock Option Grant, the Company and Employee
hereby agree as follows:
1. NON-COMPETITION; APPLICATION AND DURATION; NON-INTERFERENCE.
The Employee will not, during the term of the Employee's employment by the
Company and for a period of one year following the termination of employment if
Employee's employment is terminated within the first year of his employment or

agent, principal, trustee, corporate officer, director, licensor, or in any
capacity whatsoever engage in, become financially interested in, be

any business which business is engaged in by the Company on the date hereof
or during the course of Employee's employment or which business ("Company
Business") is engaged in development or commercialization of any
technologies or products related to the development of software and
databases that transform data into tools to be used by managers in the
health care information industry or the provision of services with respect
thereto (collectively, "Health Care Decision Support"), in any geographic
area where, during the time of Employee's employment, the business of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is being, had been or was proposed to
be, conducted in any manner whatsoever, which technologies, products or
services are (i) competitive with any Health Care Decision Support or other
Company Business technology or application thereof or products based
thereon designed, marketed, announced, leased or sold by the Company or any
of its subsidiaries during the term of employment or at the time of the
termination of the Employee's employment; or (ii) substantially similar to
any technology or service involving Health Care Decision Support or other
Company Business which the Company was designing, marketing, announcing,
leasing
or selling or proposing to design, market, lease or sell during the term of
Employee's employment; or (iii) substantially similar to any technology or
service involving Health Care Decision Support of which the Employee had
knowledge at the time of the termination of the Employee's employment that
the Company was proposing to design, market, announce, lease or sell;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Employee may own any securities of a
corporation which is engaged in such business and is publicly owned and
traded but in amount not to exceed at any one time one percent (1%) of any
class of stock or securities of such company; PROVIDED FURTHER that
Employee is not personally engaged in any way, directly or indirectly, in
any scientific or business activity within such entity, which competes with
the Company as described above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with regard to Executive's ability to
provide consulting services during any Non-Competitive Period, the parties
hereby agree as follows:
(i) Executive may not work, whether directly or indirectly, for a
competitor of the Company;
(ii) Executive may not work to reproduce or otherwise transfer Company
services for any company, whether or not a competitor of the
Company;
(iii) Executive may not solicit or contract with any Company client
during the Non-Competitive Period without the Company's advance

not unreasonably withhold such approval and such approval must be
provided by the Company so long as the Customer does not want CMS
to provide the same service and the service is not competitive as
defined herein;
(iv) Executive agrees to provide a list of Xxxxxx & Associates clients
attached hereto as Exhibit D-1. Executive may solicit and
contract with any party on Exhibit D-1 subject to items (i) and
(ii) above
(b) during the Non-Competitive Period, request or cause any

a business relationship to cancel or terminate any such business
relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or solicit,
interfere with or entice from the Company any employee (or former employee)
of the Company;
(c) solicit, interfere with, hire, offer to hire, persuade or
induce any person who is or was an officer, employee, customer or supplier
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to discontinue
his/her relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates or accept employment by or enter into contractual relations for
compensation with any other entity or person, or approach any such employee
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates for any such
purpose or authorize or knowingly approve the taking of any such actions by
any other individual or entity. The term "affiliate" shall mean any person
or entity that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries,
controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company.
2. EQUITABLE REMEDIES AND ENFORCEABILITY OF COVENANTS
(a) if Employee Commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of
any of the provisions hereof or under the Employment or Invention
Assignment Agreement, it is acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or
threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that
money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. In the
event of such breach the Company shall be entitled to terminate all or any
part of the Stock Option Grant which has not been exercised on the date the
Company determines that the Employee has breached these restrictions. In
addition, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach the Company
shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction,
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to restrain such activity or
otherwise to specifically enforce any covenant, as well as to obtain
damages, including reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Company to
enforce this Agreement or the Employment or Invention Assignment Agreement,
and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits
arising from such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be
entitled.
(b) if any of the covenants contained herein or under the under the
Employment or Invention Assignment Agreement, or any part hereof or
thereof, is hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same
shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be
given full effect without regard to the invalid portions.
(c) if any of the covenants contained herein or under the Employment or
Invention Assignment Agreement, or any part hereof or thereof, is held to
be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area
covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination
shall have the power to reduce the duration, scope, and/or area of such
provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be
enforceable.
(d) the existence of any claim or cause of action by Employee against
the Company or any affiliate of the Company shall not constitute a defense
to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants contained herein, but
such claim or cause of action shall be litigated separately.
3. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) This Agreement, together with the Employment Agreement, supersedes
all prior agreements, written or oral, between the Employee and the Company
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be
modified, changed or discharged in whole or in part, except by an agreement
in writing signed by the Employee and the Company. The Employee agrees that
any change or changes in his/her duties, salary or compensation after the
signing of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or scope of this
Agreement.
(b) This Agreement will be binding upon the Employee's heirs, executors
and administrators and will inure to the benefit of the Company and its
successors and assigns.
(c) No delay or omission by either party in exercising any right under
this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A
waiver or consent given by either party on any one occasion is effective
only in that instance and will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of
any right on any other occasion.
(d) The Employee expressly consents to be bound by the provisions of
this Agreement for the benefit of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or
affiliate thereof to whose employ the Employee may be transferred without
the necessity that this Agreement be re-signed at the time of such

protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered
by the Employee to be reasonable for such purpose.

instrument under and in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. Any action, suit, or other legal proceeding which is
commenced to resolve any matter arising under or relating to any provision
of this Agreement shall be arbitrated or commenced in a court as the
Company may see fit.

the Employee's obligations under the Employment Agreement of even date herewith
between the Company and Employee.

Whereas I will be participating in the preparation,
writing, creation, or development of certain business ideas, strategies,
analyses, reports, software, computer programs or other business activities
collectively referred to as the "Work";
(a) As an employee of the Company, any and all

convey to the Company, its successors and assigns, the entire title, right,

2. REPRESENTATIONS OF EXECUTIVE.

enter into this Agreement and that there are no preceding claims or
understandings, restrictive covenants or other restrictions, whether written or
oral, preventing the performance of his duties hereunder.
3. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement.
(b) This Agreement, together with the Employment and
Non-Competition Agreements, supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral,
between the Executive and the Company relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified, changed or discharged in whole or
in part, except by an agreement in writing signed by the Executive and the
Company. The Executive agrees that any change or changes in his/her duties,
salary or compensation after the signing of this Agreement shall not affect the
validity or scope of this Agreement.
(c) This Agreement will be binding upon the
Executive's heirs, executors and administrators and will inure to the benefit of
the Company and its successors and assigns.
(d) No delay or omission by either party in
exercising any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or
any other right. A waiver or consent given by either party on any one occasion
is effective only in that instance and will not be construed as a bar to or
waiver of any right on any other occasion.
(e) The Executive expressly consents to be bound by
the provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Company or any parent,
subsidiary or affiliate thereof to whose employ the Executive may be transferred
without the necessity that this Agreement be re-signed at the time of such

necessary for the protection of the Company and are considered by the Executive
to be reasonable for such purpose. The Executive agrees that any breach of this
Agreement is likely to cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage and
therefore, in the event of any such breach, the Executive agrees that a remedy
at law, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, may be
inadequate.
(g) This Agreement is governed by and will be
construed as a sealed instrument under and in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any action, suit, or other legal proceeding which
is commenced to resolve any matter arising under or relating to any provision of
this Agreement shall be arbitrated or commenced in a court, as and to the extent
set forth in the Employment Agreement.
The Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement shall
otherwise affect the Executive's obligations under the Employment Agreement of
even date herewith between the Company and Executive.
By my signature below, I hereby agree to the above.
