 SENIOR EXECUTIVE AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT is made effective as of April 1, 2004, between GLOBAL IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and THOMAS S. JOHNSON (“Executive”). 
  
 Recitals 
  
 A. The
Company and Executive desire to enter into an agreement pursuant to which Executive will be employed as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 B. Certain definitions are set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.

  
 Agreement 
  
 The parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 1. Employment. The Company hereby engages Executive to serve
as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Executive agrees to serve the Company, during the Service Term (as defined in Section 1(d) hereof) in the capacities, and subject to the terms and conditions, set forth in this
Agreement. 
  
 (a) Services. During the Service
Term, Executive, as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, shall have all the duties and responsibilities customarily rendered by Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officers of companies of similar size and nature and as may be
reasonably assigned from time to time by the Board. Executive will devote his best efforts and substantially all of his business time and attention (except for vacation periods and periods of illness or other incapacity) to the business of the
Company and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that such activities do not interfere with the fulfillment of Executive’s obligations hereunder, Executive may (A) serve as an officer, director or trustee of any
charitable or non-profit entity; (B) own a passive investment in any private company and own up to 5% of the outstanding voting securities of any public company; or (C) serve as a director of up to three other companies so long as such companies do
not directly compete with the Company. Unless the Company and Executive agree to the contrary, Executive’s place of employment shall be at the Company’s principal executive offices in Tampa, Florida; provided, however, that
Executive will travel to such other locations of the Company and its Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary and/or as required by the Board in its sole discretion in order to discharge his duties hereunder. 







 (b) Salary, Bonus and Benefits. 
  
 (i) Salary and Bonus. During the Service Term,
the Company will pay Executive a base salary (the “Annual Base Salary”) as the Board may designate from time to time, at the rate of not less than $562,500 per annum; provided, however, that the Annual Base Salary shall be
subject to review annually by the Board for potential upward increases thereon. The Executive will be eligible to receive an annual bonus in an amount of up to 100-150% of Executive’s Annual Base Salary for such year, as determined by the Board
based upon the Company’s achievement of budgetary and other objectives set by the Board in good faith and consistent with past practice in consultation with the Executive, which bonus criteria calculation shall be reasonable in light of the
Company’s past year’s performance and shall be communicated to Executive by the Board prior to the start of the Company’s fiscal year. The bonus criteria calculation for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005 has been delivered to
Executive. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006 and thereafter, the Board shall also reevaluate such bonus criteria calculation in light of the current economic conditions in the Company’s industry. The annual bonus, if any, shall be due
and payable to Executive prior to June 30 of the following fiscal year. 
  
 (ii) Benefits. During the Service Term, Executive will be entitled to such other benefits approved by the Board including those made available to the Company’s other senior executives, including
participation in the Company’s healthcare plan. Executive shall be reimbursed for customary travel, civic and luncheon club dues and other expenses, subject to standard and reasonable documentation requirements. In addition, Executive will
receive a stipend of $1,500 per month for lease of an automobile and other related expenses during the Service Term. Executive shall also be eligible to receive four weeks paid vacation per annum. Any unused vacation time during each fiscal year
shall be “rolled-over” to the following fiscal year to the extent permitted by the Company’s policies for other senior executives of the Company. 
  
 (iii) Options. As of the effective date hereof, Executive shall receive a stock option grant
for the purchase of 140,000 shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market System as of the date hereof. In addition,
Executive shall receive additional grants of stock options for the purchase of 40,000 shares of the Common Stock on each anniversary of the date hereof during the term of this Agreement, beginning April 1, 2005, to the extent he remains an employee
of the Company as of such anniversary dates. All options shall (i) be exercisable at the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant; (ii) vest annually over a five-year period (subject to accelerated vesting upon
certain events of termination as provided for in Section 1(c)(ii) hereof, a Change of Control (as defined in Section 6) or permanent disability to the extent permitted by the Company’s stock option plan); and (iii) expire not
later than the 
  

 - 2 - 








 tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The terms and conditions of the stock options shall otherwise be
those set forth under the Company’s stock option plan and shall be consistent with the terms contained in stock option agreements provided to other key executives of the Company. 
  
 (iv) Restricted Stock Grant. The Company shall provide Executive with a restricted stock grant
(a “Restricted Stock Grant”) of 20,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to a restricted stock agreement in the form of Appendix A hereto on April 1, 2005. In addition, Executive shall also be eligible to
receive additional Restricted Stock Grants for the purchase of 20,000 shares of the Common Stock on each anniversary of the date hereof during the term of this Agreement, beginning April 1, 2006, to the extent (x) he remains an employee of the
Company as of such anniversary date and (y) the Company has achieved at least 50% of its EBITDA target (as set by the Compensation Committee of the Board) for the immediately prior fiscal year. Each Restricted Stock Grant will vest over four years
from the date of grant with 25% vesting on each anniversary of the date of grant, with the balance (25%) vesting on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. 
  
 (v) Board Membership. So long as Executive remains employed by the Company, the Company shall
use its best efforts to nominate the Executive to be a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. 
  
 (c) Termination. 
  
 (i) Events of Termination. Executive’s employment with the Company shall cease upon: 
  
 (A) Executive’s death. 
  
 (B) Executive’s voluntary retirement. 
  
 (C) Executive’s permanent disability, which means his
incapacity due to physical or mental illness such that he is unable to perform the essential functions of his previously assigned duties for a period of six months in any twelve month period and such permanent incapacity has been determined to exist
by either (x) the Company’s disability insurance carrier or (y) by the Board in good faith based on competent medical advice in the event that the Company does not maintain disability insurance on the Executive. 
  
 (D) Termination by the Company by the delivery to Executive
of a written notice from the Board that Executive has been terminated (“Notice of Termination”) with or without Cause. “Cause” shall mean: 
  
 (1) Executive’s (aa) conviction of a felony or Executive’s commission of any other material act
or omission involving dishonesty or fraud with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their customers, vendors or suppliers or involving harassment or discrimination with respect to the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries
or (bb) misappropriation of material funds or assets of the Company for personal use; 
  

 - 3 - 








 (2) Executive’s continued substantial and repeated neglect of his duties, after
written notice thereof from the Board, and such neglect has not been cured within 30 days after Executive receives notice thereof from the Board; 
  
 (3) Executive’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duties hereunder that results, or is reasonably
expected to result, in material damage to the Company; or 
  
 (4) Executive’s engaging in conduct constituting a breach of Sections 2 or 3 hereof that is not cured in full within 15 days after notice of default thereof from the Company. 
  
 In order for the termination to be effective: Executive must be notified in
writing (which writing shall specify the cause in reasonable detail) of any termination of his employment for Cause. Executive will then have the right, within ten days of receipt of such notice, to file a written request for review by the Company.
In such case, Executive will be given the opportunity to be heard, personally or by counsel, by the Board and a majority of the Directors must thereafter confirm that such termination is for Cause. If the Directors do not provide such confirmation,
the termination shall be treated as other than for Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, Executive shall have the right after termination has occurred to appeal any determination by the Board that such
termination was for “Cause” to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(g) hereof. 
  
 The delivery by the Company of notice to Executive that it does not intend to renew this Agreement as provided in Section 1(d)
shall constitute a termination by the Company without Cause unless such notice fulfills the requirements of Section 1(c)(i)(D)(1), (2), (3) or (4) above. 
  
 (E) Executive’s voluntary resignation by the delivery to the Company and the Board of at least 45 days
written notice from Executive that Executive has resigned with or without Good Reason. “Good Reason” shall mean Executive’s resignation from employment with the Company within 45 days after the occurrence of any one of the
following: 
  
 (1) the failure of the Company to
pay an amount owing to Executive hereunder after Executive has provided the Company and the Board with written notice of such failure and such payment has not thereafter been made within 15 days of the delivery of such written notice; 
  

 - 4 - 








 (2) any material reduction or diminution in the Executive’s title, duties or
responsibilities without his consent (other than any duties diminished as a result of the hiring of a new Chief Operating Officer who may also assume the title of President) after Executive has provided the Company with written notice within 30 days
thereafter of such reduction and such reduction has not thereafter been rescinded within 15 days of the delivery of such written notice; 
  
 (3) the Executive’s resignation within one year after the Effective Date of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 6
hereof); or 
  
 (4) the requested relocation of
Executive from the Tampa, Florida metropolitan area without his consent. 
  
 The delivery by the Executive of notice to the Company that he does not intend to renew this Agreement as provided in Section 1(d) shall constitute a resignation by the Executive without Good Reason unless such
notice fulfills the requirements of Section 1(c)(i)(E)(1) (2), (3) or (4) above. 
  
 (ii) Rights on Termination. 
  
 (A) In the event that termination is by the Company without Cause (including by operation of the last paragraph of Section
1(c)(i)(D)), the Company will continue to pay Executive a monthly amount equal to 200% of the monthly portion of the Annual Base Salary1 for a period equal to 24-months commencing on the date of termination on regular salary payment dates. In the event that termination is by Executive with Good Reason, the Company will continue to pay Executive a monthly
amount equal to 200% of the monthly portion of the Annual Base Salary for a period equal to twenty-four months commencing on the date of termination on regular salary payment dates. The payments to Executive pursuant to the foregoing two sentences
are referred to as the “Severance Payments.” In either event, (i) the Company will continue to provide 
  


	1	100% of Annual Base Salary plus 100% Bonus. 

  

 - 5 - 








 Executive with healthcare coverage for 24 months following the date of termination; (ii) the Restricted
Stock Grant(s) shall become 100% fully vested; (iii) all stock options granted to Executive shall become 100% fully vested and shall remain exercisable for a period of one year after the date of termination; and (iv) the Company will pay to
Executive in a lump sum payment any accrued but unused vacation time. 
  
 (B) If the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause or if Executive resigns without Good Reason (including by operation of the last paragraph of Section 1(c)(i)(E)), the Company’s
obligations to pay any compensation or benefits under this Agreement (other than accrued but unused vacation time which shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum payment) and all vesting under the Restricted Stock Grant(s) and all stock options held
by the Executive will cease effective as of the date of termination. Executive’s right to receive any other health or other benefits will be determined under the provisions of applicable plans, programs or other coverages. 
  
 (C) If Executive retires during the Service Term, the
Company’s obligations to pay any compensation or benefits under this Agreement (other than accrued but unused vacation time which shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum payment) will cease effective as of the date of termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all (i) stock options held by Executive shall become 100% vested and shall remain exercisable for a period of one year after the date of termination and (ii) the Restricted Stock Grant(s) shall become 100% fully
vested. Executive’s right to receive any other health or other benefits will be determined under the provisions of applicable plans, programs or other coverages. 
  
 (D) If Executive’s employment terminates because of Executive’s death or permanent disability,
the Company will pay Executive or his estate an amount, if any, equal to the sum of (i) his accrued but unused vacation time and (ii) his bonus for the current year prorated to reflect the number of days Executive has worked during the year in which
he dies or becomes permanently disabled (such amount to be paid after the end of such year when bonuses are normally paid to other senior executives of the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all stock options and the Restricted Stock
Grant(s) then held by Executive shall become 100% vested and shall remain exercisable for a period of one year after the date of death or permanent disability. Executive’s or his estate’s right to receive any other health or other benefits
will be determined under the provisions of applicable plans, programs or other coverages. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligation to Executive for severance pay or other rights under either subparagraphs (A) or (B) above (the “Severance Pay”) 

 

 - 6 - 








 shall cease if Executive is in violation of the provisions of Sections 2 or 3 hereof. Until such time as Executive
has received all of his Severance Payments, he will be entitled to continue to receive any health, life, accident and disability insurance benefits provided by the Company to Executive under this Agreement. If Executive dies or is permanently
disabled, then Executive or his estate shall be entitled to any disability income or life insurance payments from any insurance policies paid for by the Company or its Affiliates as specified in such policies. 
  
 (d) Term of Employment. Unless Executive’s employment
under this Agreement is sooner terminated as a result of Executive’s termination in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(c) above, Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence on April 1, 2004 and shall
terminate at the close of business on March 31, 2008 (the “Service Term”); provided, however, that Executive’s employment under this Agreement, and the Service Term, shall be automatically renewed for additional one year
periods commencing on the fourth anniversary of the date hereof and, thereafter, on each successive anniversary of such date unless either the Company or Executive notifies the other party in writing within sixty (60) days prior to any such
anniversary that it or he desires to terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement. All references herein to “Service Term” shall include any renewals thereof after the fourth anniversary of the date hereof. 

 
 (e) Parachute Payment Limitation: In the event that it is
determined that any payment or distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the Executive made by the Company, by any of its affiliates, by any person who acquires ownership or effective control or ownership of a substantial portion of the
Company’s assets (within the meaning of section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”)) or by any affiliate of such person, whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of an employment agreement or otherwise (the “Total Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such
excise tax, together with any such interest or penalties, are collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), and (ii) if, as a result of being subject to the Excise Tax, the aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Executive from
the Company, any of its affiliates, or any person who acquires ownership or effective control or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets or by any affiliate of such person would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that
could be received by Executive without causing any such payment or benefit to be subject to an Excise Tax, then the Executive shall have the right, in the Executive’s sole discretion, to designate those rights, payments, or benefits under this
Agreement, any other agreements, and any benefit arrangements that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having the payment or benefit to the Executive under this Agreement be deemed to be a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code.

  
 2. Confidential Information and Goodwill;
Inventions. Executive acknowledges and agrees that: 
  
 (a) As a necessary function of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive will have access to and utilize Confidential Information which constitutes a valuable and essential asset of the Company’s business. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s 
  

 - 7 - 








 Confidential Information includes trade secrets as defined under Section 688.002(4) of the Florida Statutes, including
customer lists and proprietary business models, which are crucial to the operation of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business. 
  
 (b) The Confidential Information, observations and data obtained by him during the course of his performance under this Agreement concerning the
business and affairs of the Company are the property of the Company, including information concerning the acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the Business of which Executive becomes aware during the Service Term. Therefore,
Executive agrees that he will not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any of the Confidential Information without the Board’s written consent. Executive agrees to deliver to the Company at the termination of his
employment, or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents (including copies thereof) relating to the Company, the Business or any other Confidential Information. 
  
 (c) All inventions, innovations, developments, improvements, methods,
designs, analyses, drawings, software, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patented or patentable) developed by Executive during the Service Term which (i) directly or indirectly relate to the Company or its Affiliates or
the Business, or (ii) result from any work performed by Executive while employed by the Company or its Affiliates shall belong to the Company and its Affiliates. Executive shall promptly disclose all such inventions to the Board and perform all
actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Service Term) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments). 
  
 3. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. 
  
 (a) Noncompetition. Executive acknowledges that in the course
of his employment with the Company he will become familiar with the Company’s and its Affiliates’ trade secrets and with other confidential information concerning the Company and that his services will be of special, unique and
extraordinary value to the Company and its Affiliates. Executive further acknowledges that the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is nationwide. Therefore, Executive agrees that, during the Service Term and for a period two (2) years after
the greater of (i) the term of all Severance Payments received by the Executive and (ii) the date of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company (collectively, the “Noncompete Period”), he shall not directly or
indirectly own, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any manner engage in any business competing with the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any businesses with which the Company or its Subsidiaries
have firm plans to engage in at the time of the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit Executive from (i) owning up to five percent (5%) of the outstanding
securities of a publicly-held company or (ii) engaging in the Executive’s prior consulting business so long as such consulting business is limited to providing advice to copier/office equipment dealers in markets not serviced by the Company or
its Subsidiaries at the time of Executive’s termination. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 3(a) are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company. 
  

 - 8 - 








 (b) Nonsolicitation. During the Noncompete Period, Executive shall not directly or
indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any senior management employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or, to the actual knowledge of the Executive, any other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, to leave the employ
of the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and any employee thereof or (ii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, vendor, licensee or other business relation
of the Company or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with the Company or such Subsidiary, or to modify its business relationship with the Company in a manner materially adverse to the Company or any Subsidiary, or in any way materially disparage
the Company or its Subsidiaries to any such customer, supplier, vendor, licensee or business relation of the Company or any Subsidiary. 
  
 (c) Enforcement. The Executive understands and agrees the terms and conditions of Executive’s employment hereunder are in
consideration for Executive’s covenants contained in Section 2 and 3 of this Agreement. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 2 or 3 of this Agreement, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that the court shall be
allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because Executive’s services are unique and because Executive has access to confidential information, the parties hereto agree
that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies
existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). In
addition, the Company shall have the right to offset Severance Payments during any period in which Executive is in violation of this Section 3.
