EXHIBIT 10.1

 

Amendment to Employment, Noncompetition and Nondisclosure Agreement

 

THIS Amendment to the Employment, Noncompetition and Nondisclosure Agreement is
made as of September 29, 2005 by and between IDX Systems Corporation (“IDX”),
and James H. Crook, Jr. (“Executive”).

 

BACKGROUND OF AGREEMENT

 

IDX and Executive entered into an Employment, Noncompetition, and Nondisclosure
Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), dated January 1, 2003. IDX and Executive
entered into an Executive Retention Agreement (“the ERA”), dated November 1,
2004. By this Amendment, the parties wish to amend the Employment Agreement to
clarify the Executive’s rights pursuant to the Employment Agreement in the event
of a Change in Control as defined in the ERA.

 

IN CONSIDERATION of the premises, the covenants set forth herein, and other
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows:

 

1. SCOPE AND EFFECT

 

This Amendment modifies, supplements and amends the Employment Agreement, and in
the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Amendment and the terms
of the Employment Agreement, the terms of this Amendment shall govern and
control. In all other respects, the Employment Agreement is and shall remain in
full force and effect. Unless expressly indicated to the contrary hereinbelow,
the defined terms used in the Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them
in the Employment Agreement.

 

2. AMENDMENTS

 

2.1 Section 14.2.4 (“Discharge Without Cause or Resignation by the Executive for
Good Reason”) of the Employment Agreement shall be amended by adding the
following new sentence to the end of the section: “This Section 14.2.4 shall not
apply if the Change in Control Date (as defined in the ERA) occurs during the
Term (as defined in Section 14.1 of the Employment Agreement) and the
Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason (both as
defined in the ERA) within 24 months following the Change in Control Date, it
being the intention of the parties that obligations owing from the Company to
the Executive following a Change in Control be those set forth in the ERA,
including those in Section 4.2 thereof.”

 

3. MISCELLANEOUS

 

3.1 Confirmation Of Employment Agreement. Except as herein expressly amended,
the Employment Agreement is ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Each reference in
the Employment Agreement to “hereof” or words of like import shall mean the
Employment Agreement as amended by this Amendment and as hereinafter amended or
restated.

any kind or nature to the Employment Agreement, and there are no changes,
representatives, warranties, covenants or obligations of any kind except as set
forth herein. This Amendment supersedes all prior and contemporaneous
agreements, understanding, negotiations and discussions, written or oral, of the

parties affected by such amendment.
