Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination shall not be treated as a

the event or events that form the basis for the notice, if capable of
being cured, shall not have been cured within 10 days of the receipt of

"Termination due to Disability" means a termination of
Executive's employment by the Company because Executive has been

Any question as to the existence, extent or potentiality of Executive's

respective successors is doing business. "Competitive Activity" shall mean to be
directly or indirectly engaged in a business which at the time of Executive's
termination of employment is competitive with (i) the Company, any of its
Affiliates or any of their respective successors, or (ii) Parent's or any of its
Affiliates' or any of their respective successors' businesses involved in the
sale, leasing and distribution of Practice Management, Home Health Care,
transaction processing, acute care systems, and Ambulatory Clinical computer
systems and all accessories, service and supplies associated therewith
("Parent's Business"), and that may reasonably be considered as being
potentially harmful to the profitability of Parent's Business, the Company or
any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective successors.
Notwithstanding clause (ii) of the foregoing sentence, Executive shall not be
precluded from engaging in any activity that is competitive with the banking or
insurance business of the Parent, its' Affiliate or their respective successors.
In case of doubt, Executive must, before engaging in the activity, seek written
approval from the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who shall decide, based on
the facts, whether the activity is likely to be competitive and exercise
discretion accordingly.
b. Confidentiality. Without the prior written consent of the
Company Board, except to the extent required by an order of a court having
competent jurisdiction or under subpoena from a government agency, during the
Employment Period and the ten year period following any termination of
Executive's employment with the Company, Executive shall not disclose, or use
for any purpose other than in connection with his employment with the Company or
its Affiliates, any trade secrets, customer lists, drawings, designs,
information regarding product development, marketing plans, sales plans, pricing
models, manufacturing plans, management organization information (including data
and other information relating to members of the Parent Board or the Company
Board and management), operating policies or manuals, business plans, financial
records, packaging design or other financial, commercial, business or technical
information relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates or
information designated as confidential or proprietary that the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or Affiliates may receive belonging to suppliers, customers or
others who do business with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates
(collectively, "Confidential Information") to any third person unless such
Confidential Information has been previously disclosed to the public by the
Company or is in the public domain (other than by reason of Executive's breach
of this Paragraph 7(b)) or unless the disclosure of such confidential
information would not reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on
the market value, business, operations, results of operations, assets, financial
conditions or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
c. Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights. Executive
acknowledges that all of Executive's work on and contributions to the business
of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, including, without
limitation, any and all ideas, processes, methods, systems, programs,
programming aids, manufacturing techniques,
8 Xxxx X. Xxxx Employment Agreement

software, flowcharts, developments, inventions, enhancements, modifications and
improvements which contribute to the business of the Company and/or any of its
subsidiaries, whether patented, patentable or unpatentable, created by Executive
during his employment by the Company (collectively, the "Works") are within the
scope of Executive's employment with the Company, are a part of the services,
duties and responsibilities of Executive for the Company, are a result of the
efforts of the Company and is the property of the Company and not of Executive.
All of Executive's work on and contributions to the Works shall be rendered and
made by Executive for, at the instigation of, and under the overall direction of
the Company, and all of Executive's said work and contributions, as well as the
Works, are and at all times shall be regarded as "work made for hire" as that
term is used in the United States Copyright Laws. Without curtailing or limiting
these acknowledgments, Executive hereby assigns, grants and delivers exclusively
to the Company all rights, titles and interests in and to any such Works, and
all copies and versions, including all copyrights and renewals. At any time upon
reasonable request by the Company, Executive will execute and deliver to the
Company, or its successors and assigns, such other and further assignments,
instruments and documents as the Company (or such successors or assigns) from
time to time reasonably may request for the purpose of establishing,
registering, evidencing, and enforcing or defending its complete, exclusive,
perpetual and worldwide ownership of all rights, titles, interests and
copyrights, in and to the Works, and Executive hereby constitutes and appoints
the Company as his agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution,
to execute and deliver such assignments, instruments or documents as Executive
may fail or refuse to execute and deliver, within five business days of
Executive's receiving written request from the Company to execute said
assignment, instrument or document, this power and agency being coupled with an
interest and being irrevocable. Executive shall from time to time as the Company
may reasonably request communicate and make known to the Company all knowledge
possessed by him relating to the Works; provided, however, that nothing herein
shall be construed as requiring any such communication where the Work is
lawfully protected from disclosure as the trade secret of a third party. Every
Work shall be and remain the exclusive property of the Company, it being the
intention of the parties that the Company shall have sole and exclusive
ownership rights in and to the Works.
Executive shall keep such records in connection with his
employment as the Company may from time to time reasonably direct, and all such
records shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. At any time and
from time to time, promptly upon the Company's request, Executive shall
surrender to the Company any and all documents, memoranda, computer programs,
codes, disks, diskettes, magnetic tapes, books, papers, letters, price lists,
notebooks, reports, logbooks, sales records, customer lists, activity reports,
video or audio recordings, and any and all copies thereof, relating to the
business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any Confidential Information
and all Works.
9 Xxxx X. Xxxx Employment Agreement
10
d. Company Property. Promptly following Executive's
termination of employment with the Company, Executive shall return to the
Company all property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates,
all Confidential Information, all Works, and all copies thereof, in whatever
medium, in Executive's possession or under his control.
e. Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Restriction
Period, except in connection with the performance of Executive's duties
hereunder during the Employment Period, Executive shall not, and shall not
encourage or assist any other person, firm, corporation or other entity to,
induce any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to
terminate employment with such entity, and shall not directly or indirectly,
either individually or as owner, agent, employee, consultant or otherwise,
employ or offer employment to any person who is or was employed by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates unless such person shall have ceased to
be employed by such entity for a period of at least 6 months.
f. Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the Restriction
Period, Executive shall not, and shall not encourage or assist any other person,
firm, corporation or other entity to, solicit or otherwise attempt to establish
for himself or any other person, firm or entity, any business of a nature that
is competitive with the business or relationship of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries with any person, firm or corporation which during the twelve-month
period preceding the prohibited activity was a customer, client or distributor
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than any such solicitation on
behalf of the Company during Executive's employment hereunder during the
Employment Period.
g. Injunctive Relief with Respect to Covenants. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations of Executive with
respect to noncompetition, "works made for hire," nonsolicitation,
confidentiality and Company property relate to special, unique and extraordinary
matters and that a violation or threatened violation of any of the terms of such
covenants or obligations will cause the Company and its subsidiaries and
Affiliates irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at
law. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to an
injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the
requirement to post bond) restraining Executive from committing or threatening
to commit any violation of the covenants and obligations contained in this
Paragraph 7. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and are in addition to any
other rights and remedies the Company may have at law or in equity or pursuant
to this Agreement.

(relating to noncompetition, "works made for hire," nonsolicitation and
confidentiality) and 8

whether such termination shall be by expiration of the Employment Period or an
early termination pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof.

portion of the Company's stock, a merger, consolidation or reorganization
involving the Company or, unless the Company otherwise elects in writing, a sale

signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. There are no promises,
representations, inducements or statements between the parties related to the
subject matter hereof or otherwise relating to Executive's employment other than
those that are expressly contained herein. Executive acknowledges that he is
entering into this Agreement of his own free will and accord, and with no
duress, that he has been represented and fully advised by competent counsel in
entering into this Agreement, that he has read this Agreement and that he
understands it and its legal consequences. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements between the Company and Executive.
e. Severability; Reformation. In the event that one or more of
the provisions of this Agreement shall become invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining

such subparagraph enforceable in a manner which provides the Company the maximum
rights permitted at law.
