R E C I T A L S

The following statements are true and correct:

As
of the date of this Agreement, the Company is engaged primarily in the document and information management outsourcing solutions business (the "Business").

Employee
is employed hereunder by the Company in a confidential relationship wherein Employee, in the course of his employment with the Company, has and will continue to become familiar
with and aware of information as to the Company's customers, specific manner of doing business, including the processes, techniques and trade secrets utilized by the Company, and future plans with
respect thereto, all of which has been and will be established and maintained at great expense to the Company; this information is a trade secret and constitutes the valuable goodwill of the Company.

Therefore,
in consideration of the mutual promises, terms, covenants and conditions set forth herein and the performance of each, it is hereby agreed as follows:

A G R E E M E N T S

1.Employment and Duties.

(a)   The
Company hereby employs Employee as a Division President of the HealthServe division and Officer of the Company. As such, Employee shall have responsibilities, duties
and authority reasonably accorded to and expected of a Division President of the Company. Employee hereby accepts this employment upon the terms and conditions herein contained and, subject to
paragraph 1(b), agrees to devote his working time, attention and efforts to promote and further the business of the Company.

(b)   Employee
shall not, during the term of his employment hereunder, be engaged in any other business activity pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage except
to the extent that such activity (i) does not interfere with Employee's duties and responsibilities hereunder and (ii) does not violate paragraph 9 hereof. The foregoing
limitations shall not be construed as prohibiting Employee from making personal investments in such form or manner as will neither require his services, other than to a minimal extent, in the
operation or affairs of the companies or enterprises in which such investments are made nor violate the terms of paragraph 9.

2.Compensation. For all services rendered by Employee, the Company shall compensate Employee as follows:

(a)Base Salary; Annual Bonus. The base salary payable to Employee shall be $275,000 per year (effective January 1,
2004), payable on a regular basis in accordance with the Company's standard payroll procedures but not less than monthly (pro-rated for any year in which Employee is employed for less than
the full year). On at least an annual basis the Board of Directors (the "Board") will review Employee's performance and make increases to such base salary if, in its discretion, any such increase is
warranted. It is the Company's intent to develop a written Incentive Bonus Plan setting forth the criteria under which Employee and other officers and key employees will be eligible to

---

receive
year-end bonus awards. Employee shall be eligible for a bonus opportunity of up to 75% of Employee's annual base salary payable in cash and/or equity of the Company (at the
Company's discretion) in accordance with the Incentive Bonus Plan. The award of any bonus shall be based on the Company's overall performance and the total performance of the business managed and
shall be payable in various increments based on the performance. The incremental payments and the Company's targeted performance shall be determined by the Board or the compensation committee thereof.

(b)Other Compensation. Employee shall be entitled to receive additional benefits and compensation from the Company in such
form and to such extent as specified below:

disability laws. However, the parties irrebutably presume that, given Employee's position, it would be an undue hardship to the Company if Employee is absent for more than three (3) consecutive
months. Therefore, if as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury, Employee shall have been absent from his full-time duties hereunder for three
(3) consecutive months, then thirty (30) days after receiving written notice (which notice may occur before or after the end of such three (3) month period, but which shall not be

to an examination by a doctor selected by the Company who is reasonably acceptable to Employee or Employee's doctor and such doctor shall have concurred in the conclusion of Employee's doctor. In the

inactive or reduced capacity. Employee may only be terminated without cause by the Company during the Term hereof if such termination is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. Should

5.Return of Company Property. All records, designs, patents, business plans, financial statements, manuals, memoranda, lists
and other property delivered to or compiled by Employee by or on behalf of the Company (including the Company's subsidiaries) or their representatives, vendors or customers which pertain to the
business of the Company (including the Company's subsidiaries) shall be and remain the property of the Company, as the case may be, and be subject at all times to their discretion and control.

assignments or other instruments that the Company shall deem necessary to apply for and obtain letters patent of the United States or any foreign country or to otherwise protect the Company's interest
therein.

7.Trade Secrets. Employee agrees that he will not, during or after the term of this Agreement with the Company, disclose the

8.Disclosure of Information. Employee agrees that for a period of three (3) years after the date hereof or during the

9.Noncompetition. (a) Employee agrees that during the Term of this Agreement and, upon termination of Employee's
employment by the Company for a period of three (3) years thereafter, he shall not:



In
the course of Employee's employment with the Company, Employee will become exposed to certain of the Company's confidential information and business relationships, which the above
covenants are designed to protect. The covenants in subsections (i) through (v) are intended to restrict Employee from competing in any manner with the Company or the Business in the
activities that have heretofore been carried on by the Company or its affiliates. The obligations set forth in subsections (i) through (v) above shall apply to actions by Employee,
through any form of ownership, and whether as principal, officer, director, agent, employee, employer, consultant, stockholder or holder of any equity security (beneficially or as trustee of any
trust), lender, partner, joint venturer or in any other individual or representative or affiliated capacity whatsoever. However, none of the foregoing shall prevent Employee from being the holder of
up to 5.0% in the aggregate of any class of securities of any corporation engaged in the activities described in subsection (i) through (v) above, provided that such securities are
listed on a national securities exchange or reported on the Nasdaq National Market.

10.Indemnification. In the event Employee is made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by the Company against Employee), by reason of the fact that he is or was performing services under this
Agreement, then the Company shall indemnify Employee against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, as actually and reasonably incurred by Employee
in connection therewith. In the event that both Employee and the Company are made a party to the same third-party action, complaint, suit or proceeding, the Company agrees to engage competent legal
representation, and Employee agrees to use the same representation, provided that if counsel selected by the Company shall have a conflict of interest that prevents such counsel from representing
Employee, Employee may engage separate counsel and the Company shall pay all attorneys' fees of such separate counsel. Further, while Employee is expected at all times to use his best efforts to
faithfully discharge his duties under this Agreement, Employee shall not be held liable to the Company for errors or omissions made in good faith where Employee has not exhibited negligence or
performed criminal and fraudulent acts which damage the business of the Company.

11.No Prior Agreements. Employee hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the execution of this Agreement by
Employee and his employment by the Company and the performance of his duties hereunder will not violate or be a breach of any agreement with a former employer, client or any other person or entity.
Further, Employee agrees to indemnify the Company for any claim, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses of investigation, by any such third party that such third party may now
have or may hereafter come to have against the Company based upon or arising out of any non-competition agreement, invention or secrecy agreement between Employee and such third party
which was in existence as of the date of this Agreement.

12.Assignment; Binding Effect. Employee understands that he has been selected for employment by the Company on the basis of
his personal qualifications, experience and skills. Employee agrees, therefore, he cannot assign all or any portion of his performance under this Agreement and the Company agrees not to assign all or
any portion of its obligations under this Agreement (other than to a successor as a result of a Change in Control). Subject to the preceding, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

13.Complete Agreement. This Agreement is not a promise of future employment. Employee has no oral representations,
understandings or agreements with the Company or any of its officers, directors or representatives covering the same subject matter as this Agreement. This written Agreement is the final, complete and
exclusive statement and expression of the agreement between the Company and Employee and of all the terms of this Agreement, and it cannot be varied, contradicted or supplemented by evidence of any
prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee acknowledges the existence of the Company's employee handbook and related acknowledgment and understands
that to the extent there is a direct conflict between those and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern with respect to any such conflicting provisions. This Agreement may not be
later modified except by a further writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company and Employee, and no term of this Agreement may be waived except by writing signed by the party waiving
the benefit of such term.

20.Change in Control.

(a)   Unless
he elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to (c) below, Employee understands and acknowledges that the Company may be merged or consolidated with or
into another entity and that such entity shall automatically succeed to the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder.

(b)   In
the event of a pending Change in Control wherein the Employee has not received written notice at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the anticipated
closing date of the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control from the successor to all or a substantial portion of the Company's business and/or assets that such successor is willing as of the
closing to assume and agree to perform the Company's obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company is hereby required to perform, such Change in Control
shall be deemed to be a termination of this Agreement by the Company and the amount of the lump-sum severance payment due to Employee shall be 1.72 times the sum of Employee's annual
salary plus maximum annual bonus opportunity in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control and the non-competition provisions of paragraph 9 shall not apply whatsoever.
Payment shall be made either at closing of the transaction if

7

---

notice
is served at least five (5) days before closing or within ten (10) days of Employee's written notice.

(c)   In
any Change in Control situation in which Employee has received written notice from the successor to the Company that such pending successor is willing to assume the
Company's obligations hereunder or Employee receives notice after (or within fifteen (15) business days prior to) the Change in Control that Employee is being terminated, Employee may
nonetheless, at his sole discretion, elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the Company at any time prior to closing of the transaction and up to two (2) years after
the closing of the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control. In such case, the amount of the lump-sum severance payment due to Employee shall be 1.72 times the sum of Employee's
annual salary plus maximum annual bonus opportunity in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control and the non-competition provisions of paragraph 9 shall all apply. Payment
shall be made either at closing if notice is served at least five (5) days before closing or within ten (10) days of written notice by Employee.

(d)   For
purposes of applying paragraph 4 under the circumstances described in (b) and (c) above, the effective date of termination will be the later of
the closing date of the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control or Employee's notice as described above, and all compensation, reimbursements and lump-sum payments due Employee
must be paid in full by the Company at such time. Further, Employee will be given sufficient time in order to comply with then Securities and Exchange Commission's regulations to elect whether to
exercise and sell all or any of his vested options to purchase Common Stock of the Company, including any options with accelerated vesting under the provisions of the Company's stock option or similar
plan, as amended or any warrants, such that he may convert the options or warrants to shares of Common Stock of the Company at or prior to the closing of the transaction giving rise to the Change in
Control, if he so desires.

(e)   A
"Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(f)    If
any portion of the severance benefits, Change in Control benefits or any other payment under this Agreement, or under any other agreement with, or plan of the
Company, including but not limited to stock options, warrants and other long-term incentives (in the aggregate "Total Payments") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code, as amended (or any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed) or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such
interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then Employee shall be entitled to receive from the Company an additional payment (the "Gross-up
Payment") in an amount such that the net amount of Total Payments and Gross-up Payment retained by the Employee, after the calculation and deduction of all Excise Tax on the Total Payments
and all federal, state and local income tax, employment tax and Excise Tax on the Gross-up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments.

For
purposes of this paragraph Employee's applicable Federal, state and local taxes shall be computed at the maximum marginal rates, taking into account the effect of any loss of
personal exemptions resulting from receipt of the Gross-Up Payment.

All
determinations required to be made under this paragraph 20, including whether a Gross-Up Payment is required under this paragraph, and the assumptions to be used
in determining the Gross-Up Payment, shall be made by the Company's current independent accounting firm, or such other firm as the Company may designate in writing prior to a Change in
Control (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Employee within twenty business days of the receipt of notice from Employee that there
will likely be a Change in Control, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the party effecting the Change in
Control or is otherwise unavailable, Employee (together with all other employees with comparable appointment rights in their respective employment agreements such that all such employees may
collectively select a single accounting firm) may appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm
to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm with respect to such
determinations described above shall be borne solely by the Company.

Employee
agrees (unless requested otherwise by the Company) to use reasonable efforts to contest in good faith any subsequent determination by the Internal Revenue Service that Employee
owes an amount of Excise Tax greater than the amount determined pursuant to this paragraph;provided, that Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement
by the Company (on an after tax basis) of all fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Employee in contesting such determination. In the event the Internal Revenue Service or any court of competent
jurisdiction determines that Employee owes an amount of Excise Tax that is greater than the amount previously taken into account and paid under this Agreement (such additional Excise Tax being the
"Additional Excise Tax"), the Company shall promptly pay to Employee the amount of such shortfall. In the case of any payment that the Company is required to make to Employee pursuant to the preceding
sentence (a "Later Payment"), the Company shall also pay to Employee an additional amount such that after payment by Employee of all of Employee's applicable Federal, state and local taxes, including
any interest and penalties assessed by any taxing authority, on the Later Payment, Employee will retain from the Later Payment an amount equal to the Additional Excise Tax, which Employee shall use to
pay the Additional Excise Tax.
