 ARTICLE V 
 CERTAIN ADDITIONAL COVENANTS 
 5.1
Indemnification. 
 (a) Abraxas Petroleum hereby agrees to indemnify the Partnership and its Underwriters, affiliates,
officers, employees, representatives and directors (the “Indemnified Persons”) against, and hold them harmless from, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, joint or several (“Losses”), arising directly or
indirectly, out of or in connection with, the Standby Purchase, including, without limitation, (i) costs and expenses associated with the failure of Abraxas Petroleum to consummate the Standby Purchase and (ii) any claims by stockholders
of Abraxas Petroleum or other persons arising from the Standby Purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Abraxas Petroleum shall not indemnify the Partnership against 

  

 4 

 
liabilities arising from any untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated to make the statements not misleading, in the Registration Statement, except for statements or omissions regarding the Standby Purchase. Abraxas Petroleum agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Persons, as incurred, for any reasonable legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any Losses. 
 (b) Promptly after
receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any action for which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder, such Indemnified Person will notify Abraxas Petroleum in writing of the commencement thereof. The failure
to so notify Abraxas Petroleum will not relieve Abraxas Petroleum from liability under Section 5.1(a) above unless and to the extent that Abraxas Petroleum did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture
of substantial rights and defenses. Abraxas Petroleum shall be entitled to appoint counsel at Abraxas Petroleum’s expense to represent the Indemnified Person in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case Abraxas Petroleum
shall not thereafter be liable for the fees and expenses of separate counsel retained by the Indemnified Person except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person.
Notwithstanding Abraxas Petroleum’s election to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnified Person in an action, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and Abraxas Petroleum shall bear
the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by Abraxas Petroleum to represent the Indemnified Person would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential
defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both Abraxas Petroleum and the Indemnified Person and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in
addition to those available to Abraxas Petroleum, (iii) Abraxas Petroleum shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notification of the commencement of such action or
(iv) Abraxas Petroleum shall have authorized the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of Abraxas Petroleum. 
 (c) Abraxas Petroleum shall not, without the prior written consent of the relevant Indemnified Person, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim,
action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising from such
claim, action, suit or proceeding. An Indemnified Person may not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder without the consent of Abraxas Petroleum, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. 
 (d) In the event that the indemnity provided for in this Article 5 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person for any reason, the Indemnified Persons and Abraxas Petroleum shall contribute to the Losses
(including the legal and other expenses attributable to investigating or defending same) to which the Indemnified Person may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified 

  

 5 

 
Person and Abraxas Petroleum in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided
by the Indemnified Person or Abraxas Petroleum, the intent of the Indemnified Person and Abraxas Petroleum, and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution was determined by any method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations discussed above.

 8AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan 2008/2009

 EXHIBIT 10.1 
 AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan 2008/2009 
 The AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan is designed to motivate and reward
performance that drives the achievement of the new vision and strategy for Allscripts. The Plan is effective for the current fiscal year (June 1, 2008 – May 31, 2009) and supersedes and/or replaces all previous bonus plans. The level of
achievement against the Allscripts operating profit target for the fiscal year will determine the overall budget for payments. 
 Transition from Legacy
Allscripts and Misys plans to the new AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan 
 The Misys Healthcare Systems Bonus Plan has been replaced by the AllscriptsMisys
Incentive Plan. Legacy Misys employees who are currently eligible for the Misys Healthcare Systems Bonus plan will be eligible for the new AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan for the full fiscal year and be eligible to receive 100% of their target bonus
based upon the criteria outlined in this document. 
 Legacy Allscripts employees who are currently in the WIG/Allscripts Company Bonus Plan will be eligible
for the new AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan through the remainder of the fiscal year and are eligible to receive 75% of their target annual bonus based upon the criteria outlined in this document. The WIG/Allscripts Company Bonus Plan has been
discontinued. 
 Plan Summary 
 For this fiscal year
performance will be based upon the results of several Allscripts business objectives and your personal objectives agreed to for the financial year. 
 Achievement of the Allscripts operating profit target determines the potential bonus payment and a minimum threshold level of achievement of 85% of target must be achieved before any bonus is payable. The targets and corresponding levels of
potential bonus payment are detailed in the table below. 
 Actual individual bonus payments will be calculated based upon the result of the company or
business unit operating profit and business objectives results as outlined. 
 Plan Structure 
 The plan is comprised of two elements: 
  

	 	•	 	 the payment budget/funding target which must be achieved before any payments can be made. The target measure used is the Company operating profit;

  

	 	•	 	 a series of performance metrics linked to the Allscripts strategic plan which will determine how any available bonus will be calculated and paid once the minimum
funding target has been met. 

 Payment Budget Calculation 
  

	•	 	 Allscripts operating profit must achieve a threshold of 85% of target for any payment to be made in the AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan as shown in the table below.
The Allscripts Operating Profit ($m) metrics in the table below have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a Request for Confidential Treatment. 

  

					
	 Allscripts Operating Profit

	  	85%	  	25%
	 *

	  	115%	  	137.5%
	 *
	  	120%	  	150%
	 *
	  	>120%	  	150%

 NB. Progression between points is linear. 
  

	•	 	 Business performance is that reported for the financial year 2008/09 by AllscriptsMisys. Details of the business financial targets and progress against these during
the year will be confirmed by senior management. 

 Performance Metrics 
 Once the minimum funding has been met, bonuses will be calculated based upon results of business objectives and individual performance. Weighting for the business and
individual objectives is shown on Appendix 1. 
 Company Metrics 
  

	•	 	 The AllscriptsMisys Incentive Plan 08/09 uses key objectives directly taken from the Allscripts Business Strategy Scorecard to align all employees in the plan to a
single set of objectives that everyone can support. 

  

	•	 	 All employees have the ability to directly impact some or all of the objectives in the plan and therefore contribute to the success of Allscripts and future bonus
payments. 

  

	•	 	 Actual payments to employees will be calculated based on performance against the results of the business objectives (Company or Business Unit, if the employee is
assigned to one business unit within Allscripts) as detailed in Appendix 2 and as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. 

 Individual Performance Metrics 
  

	•	 	 Personal performance will be assessed by each individual’s line manager and will take into account individual objectives results during the financial year
including input from the Company’s Performance Management Plan (PMP). 

  

	•	 	 Personal performance result will be the annual performance rating. 

  

	•	 	 Personal performance will account for 10%, 30% or 50% of your bonus, depending on organizational level/title as shown on Appendix 2. 

 

	•	 	 The target payment for individual performance will vary for different annual performance ratings with a Successful performer targeted at 100% of their individual
bonus target component as shown below. 

  

	•	 	 Inconsistent rating will reduce overall bonus payment by 50% 

  

	•	 	 Unacceptable rating reduces the overall bonus to 0% 

  

	•	 	 All of the individual performance bonus payments will be subject to managers returning an overall performance distribution that is acceptable to the business during
the PMP process. 

  

					
	Performance Rating	  	% of Individual Component to be Paid	  	 
	 Exceptional
	  	(Min) 105% - (Target) 120%	  	
	 Strong
	  	(Min) 100% - (Target) 110%	  	
	 Successful
	  	(Min)   90% - (Target) 100%	  	

  

	 	•	 	 Note: A range is necessary as the overall bonus spend cannot exceed budget. If a desired performance distribution is achieved, then target percentages would be
applied. The individual component percent would need to be revised within the range if the desired performance distribution is not achieved. 

 Plan Rules 
 Eligibility 
  

	•	 	 Participation in the Plan is only available to employees who have been notified in writing by the Company of their participation under this Plan.

  

	•	 	 To qualify for a payment, personal performance must be at a satisfactory level, as determined by the employee’s manager and the Company in its sole discretion.

  

	•	 	 Poor performance including that formally communicated via a PIP, may result in a reduced payment or no payment for the employee under this Plan.

  

	•	 	 An employee who is subject to formal disciplinary proceedings will not be eligible for a payment under this Plan. 

  

	•	 	 Employees must be working for AllscriptsMisys as of February 28, 2009 and must still be employed on the payment date to be eligible for a payment. If an
employee has been given notice of termination of employment or has resigned (or given notice of his or her intention to resign) at the time of payment, then payment may be made at the Company’s sole discretion. 

  

	•	 	 Employees may join the Plan at any time during the year up to February 28, 2009. 

  

	•	 	 Transfers between Company plans can take place however in these circumstances an employee must have a minimum of 3 complete months within each plan. Where an
employee has for example 10 months service in Plan 1 and 2 months in Plan 2 they would be calculated based on 12 month service in Plan 1. Where the minimum service criteria are met the bonus will be prorated for each plan to the nearest whole month.

  

	•	 	 All transfers between Company Plans and Commission type plans will be pro rated to the nearest whole month. 

 Payment 
  

	•	 	 No payments will be made unless the stated operating profit threshold is achieved. 

  

	•	 	 Business performance is that reported by the Company for financial year 2008/09. 

  

	•	 	 Payments will be calculated based on the employee’s annual base salary (before any allowances) as of May 31, 2009. No subsequent retroactive salary
adjustments will be included. 

  

	•	 	 For new hires payments will be pro-rated to reflect the number of completed months during the Plan year. 

  

	•	 	 Payments will be pro-rated for periods of extended absence in excess of 4 weeks. Extended absence includes maternity leave, parental leave, sabbaticals, long term
sickness and any other period of absence if 4 weeks or more. 

  

	•	 	 Employees will be advised of any payments after the business performance has been confirmed. Payments will be made as soon as administratively feasible via normal
payroll processing and will be subject to applicable taxes and withholdings. 

  

	•	 	 All payments are subject to the approval of the CEO and Board of Directors. 

  

	•	 	 The Plan is discretionary and may vary from time to time. Payments to individuals are not guaranteed, automatic nor contractual. 

  

	•	 	 AllscriptsMisys reserves the right to amend the Plan at any time, for example to reflect changes to business plans or new compensation requirements.
