              Effective
                ___________
                (the “Grant
                Date”),
                you have been granted a non-statutory option to buy «TotalShares»
                shares of common stock of Eclipsys Corporation (the "Company")
                at an exercise price of $_________
                per share. This option vests and becomes exercisable (i) with respect
                to
                20% of the underlying shares on the first day of the calendar month
                immediately following the first anniversary of the Grant Date (the
“First
                Vesting Date”); and (ii) with respect to the remaining 80% of the
                underlying shares in 48 equal consecutive monthly installments on
                the
                first day of each calendar month following the First Vesting Date,
                provided that vesting will not occur if you are not employed with
                the
                Company (as defined in the Plan) on the scheduled vesting date. The
                option
                expires, to the extent not earlier terminated or exercised, on the
                tenth
                anniversary of the Grant Date or such earlier date as the Plan
                provides.

               

              The
                option is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions
                of this
                notice, the Company's 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
                and any other applicable written agreement between you and the Company.
                By
                your acceptance of this option, and also by its exercise, you agree
                to
                such terms and conditions and confirm that your receipt and exercise
                of
                this option is voluntary. 

               

              Except
                as otherwise provided in the Plan or a separate written agreement
                between
                you and the Company signed by an executive officer of the Company,
                (i)
                no
                vesting will occur before the First Vesting Date, vesting of the
                option
                will occur only on scheduled vesting dates, without any ratable vesting
                for periods of time between vesting dates, and
                any termination of your employment for any reason or no reason (unless
                you
                are then or are becoming a member of the Board of Directors of the
                Company) will result in cessation of vesting and lapse of the option
                to
                the extent not yet vested at the time of termination; (ii) vested
                options
                may be exercised only for a period of 90 days following termination
                of
                your employment (or 365 days following termination if your employment
                ends
                as a result of death); and (iii) notwithstanding
                the foregoing, vesting will be suspended during the portion of any
                leave
                of absence (LOA) you have in excess of 180 days, and if you return
                to work
                following such a LOA, any scheduled vesting dates that passed during
                the
                suspension of vesting will be added to the end of the original vesting
                schedule, with vesting on each such additional vesting date in the
                amount
                of shares not vested on the corresponding vesting date during the
                period
                of the suspension, contingent upon your continue employment.  

               

              As
                a condition to vesting and exercise of this option, you must enter
                into
                the Eclipsys Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement, in the standard
                form generally used for all new employees who live in your state
                of
                residence. If you breach in any material respect the Proprietary
                Interest
                Protection Agreement between you and the Company, or any other contract
                between you and the Company, or your common law duty of confidentiality
                or
                trade secret protection, and you fail to cure that breach in full
                within
                ten days of notice and demand for cure by the Company, then such
                breach
                shall entitle the Company, in its discretion and in addition to any
                other
                legal or equitable remedies available to it, to do any or all of
                the
                following: (1) cancel and terminate as of the date of such breach
                any
                unvested and/or unexercised portion of this stock option; (2) require
                you
                to disgorge to the Company the net income you earned from any shares
                received by you upon exercise of this option that you transferred
                at any
                time from 12 months before such breach until 30 days after the Company
                learned of such breach, and for this purpose net income means the
                sales
                price less the exercise price less applicable income taxes you paid
                in
                connection with such shares; (3) require you to tender back to the
                Company
                any share of Company stock you own that you acquired upon the exercise
                of
                this stock option at a price equal to the exercise price you paid
                for such
                share; and/or (4) obtain injunctive relief or other similar remedy
                in any
                court with appropriate jurisdiction in order to specifically enforce
                the
                provisions hereof. The Company may suspend any exercise of this option
                pending cure of any such breach.

               

              Unless
                otherwise permitted by the Company’s Board of Directors, you must pay the
                exercise price and meet any tax obligations in cash. 

               

              For
                purposes of this option, the definition of “Good Reason” under the Plan
                shall be as follows, notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary:
                “Good Reason” shall mean any significant diminution in the Participant’s
                responsibilities from and after such Reorganization Event or Change
                in
                Control Event, as the case may be, or any reduction in the annual
                cash
                compensation (base salary plus target bonus) payable to the Participant
                from and after such Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event,
                as
                the case may be.
