     of the Company,  the market for the Company  products and the  technologies
     with which the Company is involved.

                    Schedule A - Duties and Responsibilities


TITLE:   Senior Vice President & General Manager - ASP Services

RESPONSIBILITIES:  Employee  shall  be  responsible  for the  sales,  marketing,
business  development,  finance, and general operations of the MDSI ASP Services
business  unit  subject  to the  objectives  and  guidelines  determined  by the
President, CEO and/or Board of MDSI.

                      Schedule B - Incentive Bonus Program

This program has been designed to create an incentive for the achievement of the
quarterly  Corporate  Earnings per share targets as  established by the Board of
Directors,  and your overall annual personal performance.  Your performance will
be measured  against the achievement of the goals and objectives as noted in the
strategic renewal document as well as any other individual objectives.

The Plan  contains the  following  two target  components as set by the Board of
Directors and a personal performance incentive;

o    Target  incentive  based on  achieving  quarterly  EPS  target  (plus$0.01)
     results in an award of 6% of annual base salary/quarter

o    Stretch incentive based on exceeding annual EPS results up to 40% of annual
     base salary

o    Personal performance incentive up to 16% of annual base salary

The Corporate EPS targets (plus$0.01) in each quarter are either achieved or not
with the  achievement  of the target  resulting in the payment of the  incentive
award (i.e. 6% per quarter).  The quarter's  results must be achieved  including
the cost of the  Company's  incentive  plan (i.e.  all  employees).  If the full
amount of the quarterly  incentive  cannot be funded within the EPS  requirement
then a prorated amount will be paid with the available  funds. The unpaid amount
will be carried  forward to year-end.  This would occur  similarly in subsequent
quarters. At year end if, after paying the final quarter's incentive,  there are
funds available (i.e.  within the yearly EPS requirement)  than such funds would
be used to pay  (prorated  if  necessary)  the  unpaid  incentive  balance.  Any
year-end unpaid balance will not be carried forward to subsequent  years.  These
quarterly  incentives  shall be paid within 30 days of the  Company's  quarterly
results being  announced.  In the event quarterly EPS in not achieved 50% of any
missed quarters incentive can be recovered if the year's EPS target is achieved.
Depending on the amount of available  funds this payment may need to be governed
by the pro-ration as described.  Any resulting incentive from recovered quarters
or as a  result  of  pro-ration  will be paid  along  with any  other  incentive
achieved for the year.

Personal performance incentive is 16% of annual base salary to be calculated and
paid annually within 30 days of the announcement of the Company's annual audited
results.  Personal  performance  incentive will only be paid if the year-end EPS
target is achieved, can be prorated based on available funds and if prorating is
required personal  performance  incentive will take priority over EPS incentive.
Personal performance will be based on a 1-10 rating scale as follows:

1 =  intolerable  2 = less than  tolerable  3 = barely  tolerable  4 = less than
satisfactory  5 =  satisfactory  6 = more than  satisfactory  7 =  exceeding 8 =
significantly  exceeding  9 =  excelling10  =  exceptional.  A rating of 5 would
result in an award of 8%.

The calculation of % achievement of the stretch  incentive  (0-40% of base) will
be pro rated to the % achievement of the stretch target (to a maximum  incentive
of  40%).  Payment  of the  stretch  incentive  will  be  within  30 days of the
announcement of the Company's annual audited results.

NOTE:

1. The Company shall have the full authority to, terminate,  amend or cancel the
plan as described above in its' sole discretion provided that such changes shall
not be retroactive prior to the effective date of the change(s) or cancellation.

2. To participate  in the quarterly  components of the plan, an employee must be
on staff for the entire  quarter (e.g.  for the first  quarter,  the  employee's
start date must be  January  1st or earlier  and the  employee  must still be on
staff at the close of business of March 31 or later).

3. To participate  in the annual  components of the plan, an employee must be on
staff for the entire fourth  quarter.  Further,  to the extent to which they can
participate  in the annual  components  will be pro-rated to reflect their start
date with the Company.
