 EXHIBIT 10.6 
 NONCOMPETITION, NONSOLICITATION AND STOCK SALE 
 FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT 
 This NONCOMPETITION, NONSOLICITATION AND STOCK SALE FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of January 18, 2006,
is by and among Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), John P. McConnell (“JPM”) and McConnell Venture Partners Fund, LLC (together with JPM, the
“Shareholders”). 
 WHEREAS, the Shareholders are the owners of capital stock (the “Shares”) of A4
Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “Company”); 
 WHEREAS, Parent, Quattro Merger Sub
Corp., a North Carolina corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”), the Company and the shareholder representative named therein propose to enter into an Agreement of Merger (the “Merger
Agreement”), which provides, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, for the merger of Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”); 
 WHEREAS, as an inducement to Parent and Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has requested that the Shareholders enter into, and in
order to induce Parent and Sub to enter into, the Merger Agreement the Shareholders have agreed to enter into certain arrangements with respect to the Shareholders’ business activities following the Merger; and 
 WHEREAS, the execution of the Merger Agreement by Parent and Sub is a precondition for the Shareholders to receive any consideration in connection
with the Merger; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises set forth herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Effectiveness of
Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the time of effectiveness of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), and this Agreement shall terminate upon the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms
thereof. 
 2. Restrictive Covenants. 
 2.1. Confidentiality. Each Shareholder understands and acknowledges that such Shareholder has had access to and has learned (a) information proprietary to the Company and the Subsidiaries with respect to
the business of developing, marketing or providing (i) clinical information software or systems, including emergency department information systems, (ii) electronic medical records software or systems, (iii) physician practice
management software or systems, (iv) care management solutions, (v) healthcare disaster recovery solutions, or (vi) patient portal solutions (the “Business”) and (b) other information proprietary to the Company
and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, trade secrets, processes, patent and trademark applications, product development, price, customer and supply lists, pricing and marketing plans, 

 policies and strategies, details of client and consultant contracts, operations methods, product development techniques,
business acquisition plans and all other confidential information with respect to the Business (collectively, “Proprietary Information”). Each Shareholder agrees that, from and after the Effective Time for a period of four
(4) years thereafter, such Shareholder (i) will keep confidential all Proprietary Information, (ii) will not, directly or indirectly, disclose any Proprietary Information to any third party or use any Proprietary Information in any
way and (iii) will not, directly or indirectly, misuse, misappropriate or exploit any Proprietary Information in any way. The restrictions contained in this Section 2.1 shall not apply to any information which (x) is at the
Effective Time or thereafter becomes available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure, directly or indirectly, by the Shareholders, or (y) is required to be disclosed by applicable requirements of law, provided that, in such
event, each Shareholder shall use reasonable efforts to give reasonable advance notice of such requirement to Parent to enable Parent or the Company to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy with respect to such disclosure. 

2.2. Restrictions on Competitive Activities. Each Shareholder further agrees that, from and after the Effective Time for a period of four years
thereafter, each Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (whether as principal, agent, employee, consultant, independent contractor, partner or otherwise) own, manage, operate, control, participate in, perform services for or otherwise carry
on a business similar to or competitive with the Business anywhere in the United States (it being understood by the parties hereto that the Business is not limited to any particular region because such Business has been conducted by the Company
throughout the United States and the prohibited activities may be engaged in effectively from any location in the United States). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth in this Section 2.2 shall prohibit each Shareholder from owning
not in excess of two percent (2%) in the aggregate of any class of capital stock of any corporation if such stock is publicly traded and listed on any national or regional stock exchange or on the Nasdaq Stock Market. 
 2.3. Restrictions on Solicitation; No-Hire. Each Shareholder further agrees that, from and after the Effective Time for a period of three
(3) years thereafter, each Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly: (a) deliberately take any action that would interfere with (i) any contractual or customer relationship of the Company or its Affiliates in respect of the
Business or (ii) any relationship of the Company or its Affiliates with its respective employees in respect of the Business or (b) solicit the services of or hire (as employee, consultant or otherwise) or seek to cause to leave the employ
of the Company or any of its Affiliates any employee of the Company during employment of such employee by the Company or its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any person, any other person
which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Shareholder shall not be subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 2.3 with respect to each of
John McConnell, Jr., Rob Brady, Laura Brady and Faith Jennings. 
 2.4. Remedies. In the event any Shareholder violates any of its
obligations under this Section 2, Parent or the Company may proceed against such Shareholder in law or in equity for such damages or other relief as a court may deem appropriate. Each Shareholder acknowledges that a violation of this
Section 2 may cause Parent or the Company irreparable 
  

 2 

 harm which may not be adequately compensated for by money damages. Each Shareholder therefore agrees that in the event of
any actual or threatened violation of this Section 2, Parent or the Company shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that it may have, to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and final injunctive relief against such
Shareholder to prevent any violations of this Section 2, without the necessity of posting a bond. The prevailing party in any action commenced under this Section 2 shall also be entitled to receive reasonable attorneys’ fees and court
costs. It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that if, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce this Section 2, any term, restriction, covenant or promise in this Section 2 is found to be
unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant or promise shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency. 
 3. Stock Sale Forbearance. Each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that, for a period of one year beginning on the Closing Date (as defined
in the Merger Agreement), such Shareholder will not, without the prior written consent of Parent, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to,
result in the disposition by such Shareholder or any Affiliate of such Shareholder of), directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) acquired by such Shareholder in
connection with the Merger (the “Merger Shares”); provided, however, that if after the six-month anniversary of the Effective Time, the closing price of shares of Parent Common Stock is in excess of $20 per share for 10 consecutive
trading days (the “Trading Price Condition”), each Shareholder shall be entitled to sell up to an aggregate of 5% of such Shareholder’s Merger Shares in any three-month period commencing on the date on which the Trading Price
Condition is achieved. 
 4. Release. Except as set forth in the following sentence and subject to the limitations set forth therein,
each Shareholder will, and hereby does, effective as of the Effective Time, release and forever discharge the Company, A4 Realty, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Subsidiary”), and their respective officers,
directors, employees, Affiliates, agents and representatives from any and all actions, suits, debts, liens, sums of money, accounts, judgments, claims and demands whatsoever, at law or in equity, either in contract or in tort, whether known or
unknown, on account of, arising out of or relating to any act or omission of any kind or character whatsoever of the Company, Subsidiary or any predecessor of the Company or Subsidiary occurring on or prior to the effective date of the Merger (the
“Effective Date”) or any operations of the Company’s, Subsidiary’s or any of their respective predecessor’s businesses on or prior to the Effective Date, including the calculation and payment of any and all accrued
and unpaid dividends with respect to any Shares; provided, however, that such claims shall not include claims arising solely out of the Merger Agreement and/or any agreement, instrument, or document being or to be executed and
delivered by the Shareholder under the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Shareholder reserves any rights such Shareholder may now have or ever has had in its capacity, if applicable, as a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company or Subsidiary to be indemnified against liabilities, or to benefit from provisions limiting such Shareholder’s liability, to the extent provided in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the
Company’s Bylaws or any indemnification agreements entered into between the Company or Subsidiary and such Shareholder.

      Employment
        Agreement

      

      Dear
        Mr.
        May:

      

      The
        following sets forth the agreement ("Agreement")
        between Integrated Alarm Services Group, Inc. ("Company")
        and
        you regarding the terms of your employment with the Company. 

      

      1.
         Titles;
        Duties; Employment Date. 

      

      (a) Effective
        as of April 24, 2006, you will be employed as a Special Adviser to the Board
        of
        Directors of the Company (the "Board")
        and,
        effective as of June 1, 2006, as acting Chief Executive Officer and President
        of
        the Company. 

      

      (b) You
        shall
        report directly to the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board and to the full
        Board
        and shall have all of the duties and responsibilities assigned to such position
        in accordance with the Company’s past practices and By-Laws. 

      

      (c) You
        shall
        devote substantially all of your business time, attention, skills and efforts
        exclusively to the business and affairs of the Company. While you are employed
        by the Company, you agree not to engage in any other employment, occupation,
        or
        consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior
        approval of the Board. This Section 1(c) shall not apply to any positions
        you
        currently hold and have previously disclosed to the Company. It is understood
        that you will a take a reasonable period of time off for such personal matters
        and vacation as were previously disclosed to the Company. 

      

      (d) As
        part
        of your duties to the Company, you agree to assist the Board in the Board's
        search for an individual to serve as permanent Chief Executive Officer. You
        and
        the Company acknowledge that it is not the present intent of either party
        to
        consider you for the position of permanent Chief Executive Officer of the
        Company.

      

      2.
          Salary.
        The
        Company shall pay you a base salary at the rate of $35,000 per month, payable
        in
        accordance with the Company's normal payroll practices and subject to all
        applicable income tax and other wage withholding. You will not be eligible
        to
        participate in the Company's annual incentive plan, but this sentence shall
        not
        preclude the Compensation Committee of the Board from awarding you, in
        appropriate circumstances, additional incentive compensation based upon your
        performance with the Company and such other factors as the Compensation
        Committee may deem relevant.

       

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

      3. Stock
        Options.
        The
        Company will grant you on April 23, 2006 ("Grant
        Date")
        a
        stock option ("Stock
        Option")
        to
        purchase (i) 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise
        price
        per share of $4.25, and (ii)100,000 shares of common stock of the Company
        at an
        exercise price per share of $5.25. Your Stock Option shall vest and become
        non-forfeitable on November 1, 2006, provided that you are in the employ
        of the
        Company on that date, and shall become exercisable on the first anniversary
        of
        the Grant Date, to the extent then vested. The Option shall automatically
        vest,
        to the extent not then vested, if your employment is involuntarily terminated
        by
        the Company other than for just cause. The Option shall immediately vest
        and
        become fully exercisable, to the extent not then vested and exercisable,
        upon a
        "Change in Control" of the Company, as such term is defined in the Company's
        2004 Stock Incentive Plan. Your Stock Option, once vested, shall remain
        exercisable until the third anniversary of the Grant Date, except that,
        notwithstanding the above, your Stock Option shall be forfeited immediately
        (whether or not vested) if your employment with the Company is terminated
        for
        just cause. The Stock Option shall otherwise be subject to the terms of the
        2004
        Stock Incentive Plan and the Company's form of option agreement. 

      

      4. Termination.
        

      

      (a) You
        or
        the Company may terminate your employment on 30 days' prior written notice.
        If
        the Company terminates your employment other than for just cause and you
        continue to work through the end of the notice period, the Company will pay
        you
        within 15 days following your last day of employment an additional lump sum
        payment equal to one month's salary. No other severance amounts will be payable
        to you in connection with your termination of employment.

      

      (b) The
        Company shall have the right to terminate your employment immediately for
        "just
        cause," in which case no severance or other amounts will be payable to you
        in
        connection with such termination.

      

      (c) Except
        for the requirement to give 30 days' advance notice of your termination of
        employment under Section 4(a), you shall be an "at will" employee of the
        Company.

      

      5. Business
        Expenses.
        The
        Company shall reimburse you upon presentation by you of appropriate
        documentation, in accordance with the Company's regular practices, for business
        expenses reasonably incurred by you in connection with the performance of
        your
        duties as an officer and an employee of the Company.

      

      6. Indemnification.
        The
        Company shall (i) indemnify, defend and hold you harmless, to the full extent
        permitted under applicable law and the By-Laws of the Company, for, from
        and
        against any and all losses, claims, costs, expenses, damages, liabilities
        or
        actions (including security holder actions) related to or arising out of
        your
        employment with and service as an officer of the Company and (ii) pay as
        incurred all reasonable costs, expense and attorneys' fees incurred by you
        in
        connection with or relating to the defense of any such losses, claims, costs,
        expenses, damages, liabilities or actions or the enforcement of any
        indemnification right hereunder. 

       

       

      
 

      
        
          
          

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      7.  Confidentiality.
        You
        recognize that the services you perform for the Company are special, unique
        and
        extraordinary in that you may acquire confidential information and trade
        secrets
        concerning the operations of the Company, the use or disclosure of which
        could
        cause the Company substantial loss and damages which could not be readily
        calculated, and for which no remedy at law would be adequate. Accordingly,
        you
        covenant and agree with the Company that you will not at any time except
        in
        performance of your obligations to the Company hereunder or with the prior
        written consent of the Board, disclose any secret or confidential information
        that you may learn by reason of your association with the Company, except
        as
        required by law. 

       

      8 Your
        Representation.
        You
        hereby represent and warrant to the Company that the execution and delivery
        by
        you of this Agreement to the Company and your performance of your obligations
        hereunder will not breach the terms of any contract, agreement or understanding
        to which you are a party, including any covenant not to compete against any
        prior employer, and you acknowledge and agree that a breach of this
        representation by you shall render this Agreement void ab
        initio
        and
        without force and effect. 

       

      9. Governing
        Law.
        The
        validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement
        shall
        be governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts
        entered
        into and performed in such state.
