         (d)      Option Grants.

                  (1)      All options to purchase shares of the common stock of
         PracticeWorks ("PracticeWorks Stock") that PracticeWorks grants to
         Executive after his Starting Date shall vest over a 36 month period,
         33-1/3% each year, in 12 equal quarterly installments of 8-1/3% each
         quarter commencing on the three month anniversary after the option
         grant.

                  (2)      During the term of this Employment Agreement,
         PracticeWorks shall, no less frequently than semi-annually, grant to
         Executive additional options to purchase PracticeWorks Stock or issue
         to Executive additional PracticeWorks Stock such that, when taken
         together with all other shares of PracticeWorks Stock then held by
         Executive or subject to issuance under other options then held by
         Executive, Executive owns or has the right to purchase a number of
         shares of PracticeWorks Stock which is not less than the percentage of
         Executive's number of then outstanding shares of PracticeWorks Stock
         (on an as converted basis). Any options granted to the Executive
         pursuant to this paragraph shall have an exercise price no greater than
         the fair market value per share of PracticeWorks Stock on the date of
         the grant.

                  (3)      All options to purchase PracticeWorks stock that
         PracticeWorks grants to Executive after his Starting Date shall expire
         no sooner than 10 years after the date that PracticeWorks grants an
         option to Executive, provided that PracticeWorks does not terminate
         Executive's employment for Cause (as defined in ss. 4(c) below).

         (e)      Vacation. Executive shall accrue six 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. Executive shall have the
right to carryover unused vacation from any such one year period to any other
such one year period or to receive additional compensation in lieu of taking
Executive's vacation time.

         (f)      Automobile. PracticeWorks shall make available to Executive a
car (which is at least comparable to the car InfoCure Corporation has made
available to Executive immediately before the beginning of the Term) while
Executive is employed by PracticeWorks. Executive shall be responsible for the
reasonable and proper operation

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

of such car and shall return such car in good condition, subject only to normal
wear and tear. PracticeWorks shall maintain insurance on such car in accordance
with PracticeWorks' policy for company-owned cars and shall be responsible for
normal maintenance on such car. PracticeWorks shall replace such car with a
comparable car at Executive's request at the expiration of the car lease in
effect on the date this Employment Agreement is executed. Executive shall
maintain such records as PracticeWorks shall request to show is business and
personal use for such car.

         (g)      Business Expenses. PracticeWorks shall provide Executive a
business expense allowance of $500.00 per month to use as Executive sees fit.
Executive in addition shall have a right to be reimbursed for Executive's
reasonable and appropriate business expenses which Executive actually incurs in
connection with the performance of Executive's duties and responsibilities under
this Employment Agreement in accordance with PracticeWorks' expense
reimbursement policies and procedures for its senior executives.

SS. 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 ss. 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 ss. 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 three times
         Executive's base salary as in effect under ss. 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.

                                      -3-

                  (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 ss. 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 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 ss.
         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 ss. 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 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

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6

PracticeWorks shall pay to Executive on the date of the termination of
Executive's employment an amount equal to three times Executive's then base
salary as in effect under ss. 3(a) or Executive's base salary in effect under
ss. 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 ss. 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 ss. 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 ss. 4(f) will be deemed to have
         occurred immediately prior to such shareholder approval.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

         If PracticeWorks or PracticeWorks' accountants determine that the
option exercise right and the three times base salary payment called for under
this ss. 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 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 ss. 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 ss. 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 ss. 4(f) or applicable law.
Any determination under this ss. 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 ss. 3(a) which accrued as of the termination date and are
expressly payable under this ss. 4 without regard to the reason for such
termination of employment.

date. The date described in this ss. 1 on which Executive starts his employment

         (b)      Duties and Responsibilities. Executive's duties and
responsibilities shall be those normally associated with Executive's position as

PracticeWorks' Board of Directors from time to time may assign orally or in
writing to Executive. Executive shall report to PracticeWorks' Board of
Directors 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

act in the course of Executive's employment under this Employment Agreement in
the best interest of PracticeWorks.

SS. 3.   COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

conditions to participate in such plans, programs and policies as in effect from
time to time.

         (d)      Option Grants.

                  (1)      All options to purchase shares of the common stock of
         PracticeWorks ("PracticeWorks Stock") that PracticeWorks grants to
         Executive after his Starting Date shall vest over a 36 month period,
         33-1/3% each year, in 12 equal quarterly installments of 8-1/3% each
         quarter commencing on the three month anniversary after the option
         grant.

                  (2)      During the term of this Employment Agreement,
         PracticeWorks shall, no less frequently than semi-annually, grant to
         Executive additional options to purchase PracticeWorks Stock or issue
         to Executive additional PracticeWorks Stock such that, when taken
         together with all other shares of PracticeWorks Stock then held by
         Executive or subject to issuance under other options then held by
         Executive, Executive owns or has the right to purchase a number of
         shares of PracticeWorks Stock which is not less than the percentage of
         Executive's number of then outstanding shares of PracticeWorks Stock
         (on an as converted basis). Any options granted to the Executive
         pursuant to this paragraph shall have an exercise price no greater than
         the fair market value per share of PracticeWorks Stock on the date of
         the grant.

                  (3)      All options to purchase PracticeWorks stock that
         PracticeWorks grants to Executive after his Starting Date shall expire
         no sooner than 10 years after the date that PracticeWorks grants an
         option to Executive, provided that PracticeWorks does not terminate
         Executive's employment for Cause (as defined in ss. 4(c) below).

         (e)      Vacation. Executive shall accrue six 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. Executive shall have the
right to carryover unused vacation from any such one year period to any other
such one year period or to receive additional compensation in lieu of taking
Executive's vacation time.

         (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.

                                     - 2 -

         (g)      Business Expenses. PracticeWorks shall provide Executive a
business expense allowance of $500.00 per month to use as Executive sees fit.
Executive in addition shall have a right to be reimbursed for Executive's
reasonable and appropriate business expenses which Executive actually incurs in
connection with the performance of Executive's duties and responsibilities under
this Employment Agreement in accordance with PracticeWorks' expense
reimbursement policies and procedures for its senior executives.

SS. 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 ss. 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 ss. 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 three times
         Executive's base salary as in effect under ss. 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 ss. 3(a), if any, up to the date Executive's
         employment terminates. Furthermore, if terminated for Cause,

                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   4

         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 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,

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   5

                  (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 ss.
         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 ss. 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 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 three times Executive's then base salary as in effect under ss. 3(a) or
Executive's base salary in effect under ss. 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 ss. 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

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6

under this ss. 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 ss. 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 three times base salary payment called for under
this ss. 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

                                     - 6 -

payment 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 ss. 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 ss. 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 ss.4(f) or applicable law. Any
determination under this ss.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 ss. 3(a) which accrued as of the termination date and are
expressly payable under this ss. 4 without regard to the reason for such
termination of employment.
