INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT    
  

        This Agreement made as of March 5, 2001, between PracticeWorks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and William A. Shutzer, a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company (the "Indemnitee"); 

        WHEREAS,
the Company and the Indemnitee are each aware of conditions in the insurance industry that have affected and may continue to affect the Company's ability to obtain appropriate
directors' and officers' liability insurance on an economically acceptable basis; 

        WHEREAS,
the Company and the Indemnitee are also aware of the exposure to litigation of officers, directors, employees and agents of corporations as such persons exercise their duties to
the Company; 

        WHEREAS,
the Company desires to continue to benefit from the services of highly qualified and experienced persons such as the Indemnitee; 

        WHEREAS,
the Indemnitee desires to serve or to continue to serve the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent, including service at the request of the Company as a director,
officer or trustee of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for so long as the Company continues to provide on an acceptable basis indemnification against certain liabilities
and expenses which may be incurred by the Indemnitee. 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1.        Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to his activities as a director, officer or employee of the
Company or as a person who is serving or has served at the request of the Company ("Agent") as a director, officer or trustee of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him ("Expenses") in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed
action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), to which he was, is, or is threatened to be made a party by reason of facts which include his
being or having been such a director, officer, employee or agent to the extent of the highest
and most advantageous to the Indemnitee, as determined by the Indemnitee, of one or any combination of the following: 

        (a)        The
benefits provided by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws in effect on the date hereof, a copy of the relevant portions of which are
attached hereto as Exhibit I; 

        (b)        The
benefits provided by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws or their equivalent in effect at the time Expenses are incurred by Indemnitee; 

        (c)        The
benefits allowable under Delaware law in effect at the date hereof; 

        (d)        The
benefits allowable under the law of the jurisdiction under which the Company exists at the time Expenses are incurred by the Indemnitee; 

        (e)        The
benefits available under liability insurance obtained by the Company; and 

        (f)        Such
other benefits as may be otherwise available to Indemnitee under then existing practices of the Company. 

        A
combination of two or more of the benefits provided by (a) through (f) shall be available only to the extent that the Applicable Document, as hereafter defined, does not
require that the benefits provided therein must be exclusive of other benefits. The document or law providing for the benefits listed in items (a) through (f) above is called the
"Applicable Document" in this Agreement. The Company hereby undertakes to assist Indemnitee, in all proper and legal ways, to obtain the benefits selected by Indemnitee under items (a) through
(f) above. 

 

2.        Insurance. The Company shall maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance for so long as Indemnitee's services are covered
hereunder, provided and to the extent that such insurance is available
on a commercially reasonable basis. In the event the Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such manner as to provide Indemnitee the
same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company's officers or directors. However, the Company agrees that the provisions hereof shall remain in effect regardless
of whether liability or other insurance coverage is at any time obtained or retained by the Company; except that any payments made under an insurance policy shall reduce the obligations of the Company
hereunder. 

3.        Payment Of Expenses. At Indemnitee's request, the Company shall pay the Expenses when incurred by Indemnitee upon receipt of an
undertaking in the form of Exhibit II attached hereto by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay such amounts so paid on his behalf if it shall ultimately be determined under the Applicable
Document that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such Expenses. That portion of Expenses which represents attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in defending any Proceeding
shall be paid by the Company within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such request, together with such reasonable documentation evidencing the amount and nature of such Expenses as the Company
shall require, subject to its also receiving such undertaking. 

4.        Additional Rights. The indemnification provided in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other indemnification or rights
to which Indemnitee may be entitled and shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased to occupy a position as an officer, director, employee or agent as described in Paragraph 1 above with respect
to Proceedings relating to or arising out of Indemnitee's acts or omissions during his service in such position. 

5.        Notice to Company. Indemnitee shall provide to the Company prompt written notice of any proceeding brought, threatened, asserted or
commenced against Indemnitee with respect to which Indemnitee may assert a right to indemnification hereunder. Indemnitee shall not make any admission or effect any settlement without the Company's
written consent unless Indemnitee shall have determined to undertake his own defense in such matter and has waived the benefits of this Agreement. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding to which
Indemnitee is a party in any manner which would impose any penalty on Indemnitee without his written consent. Neither Indemnitee nor the Company will unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed
settlement. Indemnitee shall cooperate to the extent reasonably possible with the Company and/or its insurers, in attempts to defend and/or settle such Proceeding. 

6.        Assumption of Defense. Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume Indemnitee's defense in any Proceeding, with counsel mutually satisfactory to Indemnitee and the Company. After notice from the Company
to Indemnitee of the Company's election so to assume such defense, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with
the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in such Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at Indemnitee's expense unless: 

        (a)        The
employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company; 

        (b)        Indemnitee
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between Indemnitee and the Company in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding;
or 

        (c)        The
Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the
expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of Indemnitee in any Proceeding 

2

 

brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause (b) above. 

7.        Arbitration and Enforcement. 

        (a)        In
the event that any dispute or controversy shall arise between Indemnitee and the Company with respect to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification in
connection with any Proceeding or with respect to the amount of Expenses incurred, such dispute or controversy shall be submitted by the parties to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator at
Atlanta, Georgia. If the parties cannot agree on a designated arbitrator fifteen (15) days after arbitration is requested in writing by either of them, the arbitration shall proceed before an
arbitrator appointed by, and in accordance with the rules then in effect of, one of the following bodies, which shall be chosen by the initiator of such arbitration: 

	(i)
	the
American Arbitration Association;

	(ii)
	the
CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution; or

	(iii)
	Judicial
Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. 

        The
award shall be rendered in such form that judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

        (b)        Reasonable
expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with his request for indemnification hereunder shall be borne by the Company, unless Indemnitee is determined
according to the preceding paragraph of this Section 7 not to be entitled to indemnification for any liability or expense hereunder.
In the event that Indemnitee is a party to or intervenes in any proceeding in which the validity of this Agreement is at issue or seeks an award in arbitration pursuant to the preceding paragraph of
this Section 7 to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee, if he prevails in whole or in part in such action, shall be entitled to recover from
the Company and shall be indemnified by the Company against any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him. 

        (c)        In
any proceeding in which the validity or enforceability of this Agreement is at issue, or in which Indemnitee seeks an award in arbitration to enforce his rights
hereunder, the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. 

8.        Exclusions. No indemnification, reimbursement or payment shall be required of the Company hereunder: 

        (a)        With
respect to any claim as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to have acted with bad faith, willful misfeasance, or
willful disregard of his duties, except to the extent that such court shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnify for such expenses as the court shall deem proper; or 

        (b)        With
respect to any obligation of Indemnitee under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. 

9.        Extraordinary Transactions. The Company covenants and agrees that, in the event of any merger, consolidation or reorganization in which
the Company is not the surviving entity, any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any liquidation of the Company (each such event is hereinafter referred to as an
"extraordinary transaction"), the Company shall use its best efforts to: 

        (a)        Obtain
insurance in Indemnitee's favor from a reputable insurance carrier in reasonable amounts (if such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates) for a
period of not less than one (1) year from the date of such extraordinary transaction against any liability to which the indemnification provided in this Agreement relates; 

3

 

        (b)        Have
the obligations of the Company under this Agreement expressly assumed by the survivor, purchaser or successor, as the case may be, in such extraordinary
transaction; or 

        (c)        Otherwise
adequately provide for the satisfaction of the Company's obligations under this Agreement, in a manner acceptable to Indemnitee. 

10.        No Personal Liability. Indemnitee agrees that neither the Directors, nor any officer, employee, representative or agent of the Company
shall be personally liable for the satisfaction of the Company's obligations under this Agreement, and Indemnitee shall look solely to the assets of the Company for satisfaction of any claims
hereunder. 

11.        Severability. If any provision, phrase, or other portion of this Agreement should be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and such determination should become final, such provision, phrase or other portion shall be deemed to be severed or limited, but only to
the extent required to render the remaining provisions and portions of the Agreement enforceable, and the Agreement as thus amended shall be enforced to give effect to the intention of the parties
insofar as that is possible. 

12.        Governing Law. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws
of the State of Delaware. 

13.        Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be considered to have been
duly given if delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom the notice, request, demand or other communication shall have been directed, or mailed by registered mail with postage prepaid:

14.        Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice delivered
to the other party, but such termination shall not in any way diminish the
obligations of Company hereunder with respect to Indemnitee's activities prior to the effective date of termination. Indemnitee's right to indemnification and advancement of expenses pursuant to this
Agreement shall continue regardless of whether Indemnitee has ceased for any reason to be a director of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs of Indemnitee and the executors and
administrators of Indemnitee's estate. 

        This
Agreement is and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefits of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

SECTION
7.4.        INDEMNIFICATION. 

        (a)        The
Corporation shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or such person's testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was a director,
officer, trustee, member, stockholder, partner, incorporator or liquidator of a Subsidiary of the Corporation, or serves or served at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, trustee,
member, stockholder, partner, incorporator or liquidator of or in any other capacity for any other enterprise. Expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by any such person in
defending any such action, suit or proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Corporation promptly upon demand by such person and, if any such demand is made in advance of the final disposition of
any such action, suit or proceeding, promptly upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. The rights provided to any person by this by-law shall be enforceable against the Corporation by such person, who shall be presumed to have
relied upon it in serving or continuing to serve as a director or officer or in such other capacity as provided above. In addition, the rights provided to any person by this by-law shall
survive the termination of such person as any such director, officer, trustee, member, stockholder, partner, incorporator or liquidator and, insofar as such person served at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, member, stockholder, partner, incorporator or liquidator of or in any other capacity for any other enterprise, shall survive the termination of such
request as to service prior to termination of such request. No amendment of this by-law shall impair the rights of any person arising at any time with respect to events occurring prior to
such amendment. 

        (b)        Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 7.4, except for proceedings to enforce rights provided in this Section 7.4, the Corporation shall not be
obligated under this Section 7.4 to provide any indemnification or any payment or reimbursement of expenses to any director, officer or other person in connection with a proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by such person (which shall not include counterclaims or cross-claims initiated by others) unless the Board of Directors has authorized or consented to such proceeding (or part
thereof) in a resolution adopted by the Board. 

        (c)        For
purposes of this by-law, the term "Subsidiary" shall mean any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity in which the
Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the economic or voting ownership interest; the term "other enterprise" shall include any corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture, trust, association or other unincorporated organization or other entity and any employee benefit plan; the term "officer," when used with respect to the Corporation, shall refer to any
officer elected by or appointed pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to Section 5.1 of these by-laws, when used with respect to a
Subsidiary or other enterprise that is a corporation, shall refer to any person elected or appointed pursuant to the by-laws of such Subsidiary or other enterprise or chosen in such manner
as is prescribed by the by-laws of such Subsidiary or other enterprise or 

6

 

determined by the Board of Directors of such Subsidiary or other enterprise, and when used with respect to a Subsidiary or other enterprise that is not a corporation or is organized in a foreign
jurisdiction, the term "officer" shall include in addition to any officer of such entity, any person serving in a similar capacity or as the manager of such entity; service "at the request of the
Corporation" shall include service as a director or officer of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its
participants or beneficiaries; any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to be indemnifiable expenses; and action by a person with respect to an
employee benefit plan which such person reasonably believes to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of such plan shall be deemed to be action not opposed to the best interests of
the Corporation. 

        (d)        To
the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, the Corporation may provide to (i) any one or more employees and other agents of the
Corporation, (ii) any one or more officers, employees and other agents of any Subsidiary and (iii) any one or more directors, officers, employees and other agents of any other
enterprise, rights of indemnification and to receive payment or reimbursement of expenses, including attorneys' fees, that are similar to the rights conferred in this Section 7.4 on directors
and officers of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or other enterprise. Any such rights shall have the same force and effect as they would have if they were conferred in this Section 7.4. 

        (e)        Nothing
in this Section 7.4 shall limit the power of the Corporation or the Board of Directors to provide rights of indemnification and to make payment and
reimbursement of expenses, including attorneys' fees, to directors, officers, employees, agents and other persons otherwise than pursuant to this Section 7.4.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT    
  

        This is an Employment Agreement entered into between PracticeWorks, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or "PracticeWorks", and C. Lamar Roberts, or "Executive",
the terms and conditions of which are as follows: 

§ 1.        TERM OF EMPLOYMENT

        Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Employment Agreement, PracticeWorks agrees to employ Executive and Executive agrees to be employed by PracticeWorks for an initial
term of two years, starting on May 1, 2001 and ending on the second anniversary of such date; provided, however, this initial two year term automatically shall extend for one additional year on
such second anniversary date and on each subsequent anniversary of such date unless PracticeWorks or Executive notifies the other pursuant to § 6(a) that no such extension will be effected
at least six months before such anniversary date. The date described in this § 1 on which Executive starts his employment with PracticeWorks shall be referred to in this Employment
Agreement as the "Starting Date". The employment term described in this § 1 shall be referred to in this Employment Agreement as the "Term". 

§ 2.        POSITION AND DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

        (a)        Position. Executive shall be the Vice President of Sales and Marketing of PracticeWorks. 

        (b)        Duties and Responsibilities. Executive's duties and responsibilities shall be those normally associated with Executive's
position as a vice president of sales and marketing plus any additional duties and responsibilities that PracticeWorks' Board of Directors from time to time may assign orally or in writing to
Executive. Executive shall report to PracticeWorks' President and Chief Executive Officer and shall have such powers as may be delegated to him by such board. Executive shall undertake to perform all
Executive's duties and responsibilities for PracticeWorks in good faith and on a full-time basis and shall at all times act in the course of Executive's employment under this Employment
Agreement in the best interest of PracticeWorks. 

§ 3.        COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

        (a)        Base Salary. Executive's initial base salary shall be $180,000.00 per year, which base salary shall be payable in
accordance with PracticeWorks' standard payroll practices and policies for senior executives and shall be subject to such withholdings as required by law or as otherwise permissible under such
practices or policies. Executive's base salary shall be subject to periodic adjustments as determined by the Compensation Committee of PracticeWorks' Board of Directors. 

        (b)        Bonus and Other Incentive Compensation. Executive during the Term shall be eligible to receive a bonus or bonuses
aggregating up to fifty percent (50%) of base salary and other incentive compensation pursuant to such unique or general plans or programs as the Compensation Committee of PracticeWorks' Board of
Directors shall make available to Executive. The goals and objectives required to achieve payment of a bonus shall be set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (or to be attached hereto) and
incorporated herein by this reference. Exhibit A may be replaced, revised or updated from time to time by agreement of the parties during the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary on
Exhibit A, Bonuses are not payable for any time period (i) through the last day of which Executive is not employed under this Employment Agreement, or (ii) during which an event,
occurrence or breach of this Employment Agreement takes place that, with any required notice, lapse of time or compliance with procedures under Section 4, constitutes Cause for termination
under Section 4. 

        (c)        Employee Benefit Plans. Executive shall be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans, programs and policies
maintained by PracticeWorks for similarly situated executives in accordance with the terms and conditions to participate in such plans, programs and policies as in effect from time to time. 

 

        (d)        Option Grants. PracticeWorks shall grant to Executive options to purchase shares of the common stock of PracticeWorks at
its discretion. Each option grant shall be evidenced by an option certificate or agreement which shall contain all the terms and conditional applicable to each such option grant. 

        (e)        Vacation. Executive shall accrue five weeks of vacation during each successive one year period in the Term, which
vacation time shall be taken at such time or times in each such one year period so as not to materially and adversely interfere with the business of PracticeWorks. Unused vacation may not be carried
over from any such one year period to any other such one year period. 

        (f)        Automobile Allowance. PracticeWorks shall (in addition to any other compensation under this Employment Agreement) pay
Executive One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per month as an automobile allowance. Executive shall have the right to use such automobile allowance as Executive sees fit. 

§ 4.        TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

        (a)        Termination By PracticeWorks Other Than For Cause Or Disability Or By Executive For Good Reason. 

        (1)  PracticeWorks
shall have the right to terminate Executive's employment at any time, and Executive shall have the right to resign at any time. However, a notice under
§ 1 that no extension of Executive's Term will be effected shall not constitute a termination of Executive's employment by PracticeWorks or a resignation by Executive. If either
PracticeWorks or Executive elects to give such notice, PracticeWorks' only obligation to Executive under this Employment Agreement after the expiration of the Term shall be to pay Executive's earned
but unpaid salary then in effect under § 3(a), if any, until the date the Term expired. 

        (2)  If
PracticeWorks terminates Executive's employment other than for Cause or Disability or Executive resigns for Good Reason, PracticeWorks shall (in lieu of any other
severance benefits under any of PracticeWorks' employee benefit plans, programs or policies) pay Executive an amount in a lump sum equal to one times Executive's base salary as in effect under
§ 3(a) either immediately before Executive's termination of employment or on the first day of the Term, whichever is greater. Such payment shall be made within five business days after the
date Executive's employment is terminated. Executive waives Executive's rights, if any, to have such payment taken into account in computing any other benefits payable to, or on behalf of, Executive
by PracticeWorks. 

        (b)        Termination By PracticeWorks For Cause or By Executive Other Than For Good Reason. 

        (1)  PracticeWorks
shall have the right to terminate Executive's employment at any time for Cause, and Executive shall have the right to resign at any time other than for
Good Reason. 

        (2)  If
PracticeWorks terminates Executive's employment for Cause or Executive resigns other than for Good Reason, PracticeWorks only obligation to Executive under this
Employment Agreement shall be to pay Executive's earned but unpaid base salary then in effect under § 3(a), if any, up to the date Executive's employment terminates. Furthermore, if
terminated for Cause, Executive shall forfeit Executive's right to exercise any outstanding options to purchase common stock of PracticeWorks no later than thirty days after the date Executive's
employment so terminates. 

        (c)        Cause. The term "Cause" as used in this Employment Agreement means 

        (1)  Executive
has engaged in conduct which in the judgment of PracticeWorks' Board of Directors constitutes gross negligence, gross misconduct or gross neglect in the
performance of Executive's duties and responsibilities under this Employment Agreement, including conduct 

2

 

resulting or intending to result directly or indirectly in gain or personal enrichment for Executive at PracticeWorks' expense; 

        (2)  Executive
has been convicted of a felony for fraud, embezzlement or theft; or 

        (3)  Executive
has engaged in a breach of any provision of this Employment Agreement which Executive has failed to cure within thirty days after Executive has notice of such
breach from PracticeWorks' Board of Directors; provided, however, 

        (4)  No
"Cause" shall exist under this Employment Agreement unless (i) Executive has been provided a detailed, written statement of the basis for PracticeWorks' belief
that "Cause" exists and an opportunity to meet with PracticeWorks' Board of Directors (together with Executive's counsel (if Executive chooses to have Executive's counsel present at such meeting))
after Executive has had a reasonable period in which to review such statement and (ii) PracticeWorks' Board of Directors determines (after such meeting, if Executive meets with PracticeWorks'
Board of Directors) reasonably and in good faith and by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the members of PracticeWorks' Board of Directors then in office at a meeting called and held
for such purpose that "Cause" does exist under this Employment Agreement. 

        (d)        Good Reason. The term "Good Reason" means 

        (1)  Any
material reduction in Executive's base salary; 

        (2)  A
material reduction in Executive's job functions, duties or responsibilities, or a similar change in Executive's reporting relationships; 

        (3)  A
relocation of Executive's primary work site more than one hundred miles from Executive's current primary work site absent Executive's consent; or 

        (4)  Any
material breach of any of the terms of this Employment Agreement by PracticeWorks; provided, however, 

        (5)  No
Good Reason shall exist unless (i) Executive gives PracticeWorks a detailed, written statement of the basis for Executive's belief that Good Reason exists and
gives PracticeWorks a fifteen day period after the delivery of such statement to cure the basis for such belief and (ii) Executive actually submits Executive's resignation to PracticeWorks'
Board of Directors during the sixty day period which begins immediately after the end of such fifteen day period if Executive reasonably and in good faith determines that Good Reason continues to
exist after the end of such fifteen day period. 

        (e)        Termination for Disability or Death. 

        (1)  PracticeWorks
shall have the right to terminate Executive's employment on or after the date Executive has a Disability, and Executive's employment shall terminate at
Executive's death. 

        (2)  If
Executive's employment terminates under this § 4(e), PracticeWorks' only obligation under this Employment Agreement shall be to pay Executive or, if
Executive dies, Executive's estate any earned but unpaid base salary then in effect under § 3(a) through the date Executive's employment terminates. 

        The
term "Disability" as used in this Employment Agreement means the suffering by Executive for at least a 180 consecutive day period of a physical or mental condition resulting from
bodily injury, disease, or mental disorder which renders Executive incapable of continuing even with reasonable accommodation to perform the essential functions of Executive's job. PracticeWorks'
Board of Directors shall determine whether Executive has a Disability. If Executive disputes such determination, the issue shall be submitted to a panel consisting of three physicians who specialize
in the physical or mental condition from which Executive suffers, one appointed and paid by PracticeWorks, one 

3

 

appointed and paid by Executive and the third appointed by these two physicians and paid one-half by PracticeWorks and one-half by Executive. The determination as to whether
Executive has a Disability shall be made by such panel and shall be binding on PracticeWorks and on Executive. 

        (f)        Change in Control. If there is a "Change in Control", Executive's right to exercise all outstanding stock options which
have been granted to Executive by PracticeWorks shall immediately become 100% vested and non-forfeitable and, further, Executive shall have the right in Executive's sole discretion upon
two weeks advance written notice to resign Executive's employment as of any date within the six month period immediately following the date of such Change in Control, in which event PracticeWorks
shall pay to Executive on the date of the termination of Executive's employment an amount equal to one times Executive's then base salary as in effect under § 3(a) or Executive's
base salary in effect under § 3(a) on the first day of the Term, whichever is greater, and PracticeWorks thereafter shall make any
"Gross-Up Payment" called for under this § 4(f) to Executive. Executive waives Executive's right, if any, to have any and all such options (to the extent an exercise
right is accelerated under this § 4(f)) and payments taken into account in computing any other benefits payable to, or on behalf of, Executive by PracticeWorks. 

        The
term "Change in Control" as used in this Employment Agreement means: 

        (1)  The
acquisition at any time after the effective date of the spin-off of PracticeWorks by InfoCure Corporation by any person, entity or "group" within the
meaning of Sections 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (excluding, for this purpose, PracticeWorks, its affiliates, or any employee benefit plan of PracticeWorks or any of its
affiliates) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under such securities law) of more than fifty percent of either the then outstanding shares of
common stock of PracticeWorks or of the combined voting power of PracticeWorks' then outstanding voting securities or any such acquisition of more than fifty percent of either such common stock or
voting securities of PracticeWorks or of the combined voting power of PracticeWorks' then outstanding voting securities except for an acquisition resulting from a disposition of such stock or
securities effected by PracticeWorks or a public offering by PracticeWorks; 

        (2)  The
individuals who, immediately after the effective date of the spin-off of PracticeWorks by InfoCure Corporation, constitute the members of the Board of
Directors of PracticeWorks, who shall be referred to as the "Incumbent Members", cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of such Board of Directors, provided that any individual
becoming a member after the date of this Employment Agreement whose election, or nomination for election by PracticeWorks' shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the then
Incumbent Members shall be considered as though such individual was an Incumbent Member; or 

        (3)  The
approval by the shareholders of PracticeWorks at any time after the effective date of the spin-off of PracticeWorks by InfoCure Corporation of
(i) a merger, consolidation or other reorganization where, in each case, with respect to which persons who were the shareholders of PracticeWorks immediately prior to such merger, consolidation
or other reorganization, immediately thereafter, they do not own more than fifty percent of the combined voting power of the merged, consolidated or reorganized PracticeWorks' then outstanding voting
securities, or of (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of PracticeWorks; provided, however, in such event the Change in Control described in this § 4(f)
will be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to such shareholder approval. 

        If
PracticeWorks or PracticeWorks' accountants determine that the option exercise right and the one times base salary payment called for under this § 4(f) plus any
other payments or benefits made available to Executive by PracticeWorks upon a Change in Control will result in Executive being subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or "Code", or if such an excise tax is assessed against Executive as a result of such option exercise right or payment 

4

 

or other benefits, PracticeWorks shall make a "Gross Up Payment" to or on behalf of Executive as and when each and any such determination or assessment, as applicable, is made, provided Executive
takes such action (other than waiving Executive's right to any payments or benefits otherwise due from PracticeWorks) as PracticeWorks reasonably requests under the circumstances to mitigate or
challenge such tax; provided, however, if PracticeWorks or PracticeWorks' accountants determine that no Gross Up Payment would be payable under this § 4(f) if Executive waives
Executive's right to receive a part of such payments and such part does not exceed $10,000, Executive agrees to irrevocably waive Executive's right to receive such part of such payments if an
independent accountant or lawyer retained by Executive and paid by PracticeWorks agrees with the determination made by PracticeWorks or PracticeWorks' accountants. 

        The
term "Gross Up Payment" as used in this Employment Agreement shall mean a payment to or on behalf of Executive which shall be sufficient to pay (i) any excise tax described in
this § 4(f) in full, (ii) any federal, state and local income tax and social security or other employment tax on the payment made to pay such excise tax as well as any
additional excise tax on such payment and (iii) any interest or penalties assessed by the Internal Revenue Service on Executive if such interest or penalties are attributable to PracticeWorks'
failure to comply with its obligations under this § 4(f) or applicable law. Any determination under this § 4(f) by PracticeWorks or PracticeWorks' accountants
shall be made in accordance with Section 280G of the Code and any applicable related regulations (whether proposed, temporary or final) and any related Internal Revenue Service rulings and any
related case law and, if PracticeWorks reasonably requests that Executive take action to mitigate or challenge, or to mitigate and challenge, any such tax or assessment and Executive complies with
such request, PracticeWorks shall provide Executive with such information and such expert advice and assistance from PracticeWorks' accountants, lawyers and other advisors as Executive may reasonably
request and shall pay for all expenses incurred in effecting such compliance and any related fines, penalties, interest and other assessments. 

        (g)        Benefits at Termination of Employment. Executive upon Executive's termination of employment shall have the right to
receive any benefits payable under PracticeWorks' employee benefit plans, programs and policies which Executive otherwise has a nonforfeitable right to receive under the terms of such plans, programs
and policies (other than severance benefits) independent of Executive's rights under this Employment Agreement in addition to any base salary under § 3(a) which accrued as of the
termination date and are expressly payable under this § 4 without regard to the reason for such termination of employment.

        (a)        PracticeWorks Property.

        (3)  This
