as all income taxes imposed on the Excise Tax Restoration Payment, any Excise
Tax imposed on the Excise Tax Restoration Payment and any interest or penalties

     5.1 Death or Incapacity. This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon
the death or Total Disability of Employee, and in such event, the Employee shall
have no further claim against the Company for compensation or benefits

Disability of the Employee based upon the definition of disability and terms
contained in the Company's disability insurance policy, or if none, based upon
the inability of the Employee to perform the material functions of his job. Any

     Effective Date,

f)   Following a "Change in Control," defined below.

     A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) a tender

or consolidated with another corporation and as a result of such merger or
consolidation less than 50% of the outstanding securities of the surviving or

Base Salary at the rate prevailing for Employee immediately prior to such
termination as severance pay, payable in accordance with Company's normal
payroll. Employee shall also be entitled to receive benefits to which he was
entitled immediately preceding the date of termination for a period of twelve
(12) months from date of termination.

     6. Non-Competition Agreement.

     6.1 Competition; Confidential Information. The Employee and the Company
recognize that due to the nature of his engagements hereunder, and the
relationship of the Employee to the Company, the Employee has had access to and
has acquired, will have access to and will acquire, and has assisted in and may
assist in developing, confidential and proprietary information relating to the
business and operations of the Company and its affiliates, including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, information with respect to their
present and prospective products, systems, customers, agents, processes, and

                                       4

<PAGE>


sales and marketing methods. The Employee acknowledges that such information has
been and will continue to be of central importance to the business of the
Company and its affiliates and that disclosure of it to or its use by others
could cause substantial loss to the Company. The Employee and the Company also
recognize that an important part of the Employee's duties will be to develop
good will for the Company and its affiliates through his personal contact with
customers, agents and others having business relationships with the Company and
its affiliates, and that there is a danger that this good will, a proprietary
asset of the Company and its affiliates, may follow the Employee if and when his
relationship with the Company is terminated. Employee acknowledges that his
services to be rendered hereunder have a unique value to the Company, for the
loss of which the Company cannot be adequately compensated by damages in an
action at law. In view of the unique value to the Company of the services of
Employee, and because of the Confidential Information to be obtained by or
disclosed to Employee, and as a material inducement to the Company to enter into
this Employment Agreement and to pay to Employee the compensation referred to in
Paragraph 4 hereof, Employee covenants and agrees that:

     6.2 Non-Competition.


     (a) While Employee is employed by the Company, and for a period of one (1)
year thereafter, Employee will not, either personally, whether as an officer,
director, owner, manager, principal, partner, employee, agent, distributor,
representative, stockholder, consultant or otherwise, or with or through any
other person or entity operate or participate in the medical records coding
business or any other business which competes with the Company as of the date of
Employee's termination date (for purposes of Paragraph 6 hereof, the Company
shall be deemed to include all subsidiaries and joint ventures of the Company
whether now or hereafter affiliated with the Company) nor will Employee, while
Employee is employed by the Company, and for a period of one (1) year
thereafter, directly or indirectly solicit any person who has been an employee,
supplier or customer of the Company during the period of one (1) year prior to
the termination of employment. This non-competition clause shall apply in the
geographic territory comprised of the entire United States and any other
geographic area in which the Company is engaged in business. Employee
acknowledges that this non-competition/non-solicitation agreement is reasonable
in terms of its scope and duration.

     (b) Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be construed to prevent the Employee
from owning, as an investment, not more than 1% of a class of equity securities
issued by any competitor of the Company or its affiliates and publicly traded
and registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

     6.3 Trade Secrets. The Employee will keep confidential any trade secrets or
confidential or proprietary information of the Company and its affiliates which
are now known to him or which hereafter may become known to him as a result of
his employment or association with the Company and shall not at any time
directly or indirectly disclose any such information to any person, firm or
corporation, or use the same in any way other than in connection with the
business of the Company or its affiliates during and at all times after the
expiration of the Term of Employment. For purposes of this Agreement, "trade
secrets or confidential or proprietary information" means information unique to
the Company or any of its affiliates which has a significant business purpose
and is not known or generally available from sources outside the Company or any
of its affiliates or typical of industry practice. Trade secrets or confidential
or proprietary information may include information with respect to the Company's
personnel records, present and prospective products, systems, customers, agents,
processes, and sales and marketing methods.

                                       5

     6.4 Patents. The Employee will assign permanently to the Company exclusive
rights to any patents awarded to him on the basis of ideas developed by the
Employee for the Company during or prior to the Term of Employment and its
affiliates and ideas developed by the Employee within one year following the
termination of his employment from the Company which are related to such
employment and/or the business of the Company.

     6.5 It is agreed that Employee's services are unique, and that any breach
or threatened breach by Employee of any provisions of this Paragraph 6 may not
be remedied solely by damages. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by Employee of any of the provisions of this Paragraph 6, the
Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief, restraining Employee and any
business, firm, partnership, individual, corporation, or entity participating in
such breach or attempted breach, from engaging in any activity which would
constitute a breach of this Paragraph 6. Nothing herein, however, shall be
construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available
at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery
of damages.

     6.6 The provisions of this Paragraph 6 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the termination of Employee's employment.

     7. Miscellaneous.

     7.1 Assignability. Employee may not assign his rights and obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent
may be withheld for any reason or for no reason.

     7.2 Severability. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall
nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or
unenforceable parts had not been included therein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, in the event that any provision of Paragraph 6
relating to time period and/or areas of restriction shall be declared by a court
of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period or areas(s) such
court deems enforceable, said time period and/or area(s) of restriction shall be
deemed to become, and thereafter be, the maximum time period and/or area for
which such are enforceable.

     7.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements or understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

     7.4 Amendments. This Agreement shall not be amended or modified except by a
writing signed by both parties hereto.

     7.5 Waiver. The failure of either party at any time to require performance
of the other party of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect the
right of such party thereafter to enforce the same provision, nor shall the
waiver by either party of any breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to
be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, or as a waiver of the provision
itself. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to the conflict of laws of such
State. The benefits of this Agreement may not be assigned nor any duties under

                                       6

benefit of and shall be binding upon any successor or assignee of the Company.

County, Colorado pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association
then in effect and before an arbitrator fully licensed and authorized by any and
all applicable rules, statutes, regulations or the like to hear such cases in
the State of Colorado. The arbitrators shall have the power to award any legal
or equitable remedies that would be available in proceedings conducted before a
state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in Colorado. Judgment on the
award of the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
All arbitration proceedings and the results thereof shall be confidential,
except to the extent that any party is required to make disclosure concerning
such proceedings under applicable law.

     7.9 No Conflict. The Employee represents and warrants that he is not
subject to any agreement, order, judgment or decree of any kind which would
prevent him from entering into this Agreement or performing fully his
obligations hereunder.

Term of Employment to the extent that any performance is required under this
Agreement after the expiration or termination of such Term of Employment.

     7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same document.

postage prepaid, or by overnight delivery service. Notices sent by mail or by an
