                             FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
                               PER-SE TECHNOLOGIES
                       EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

         THIS FIRST AMENDMENT, made as of January 1, 2001 by PER-SE
TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the "Primary Sponsor").

                                   WITNESSETH

         WHEREAS, the Primary Sponsor last amended and restated the Per-Se
Technologies Employees' Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") by indenture dated
January 20, 2000; and

         WHEREAS, the Primary Sponsor desires to amend the Plan to change the
eligibility provisions.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Primary Sponsor does hereby amend the Plan,
effective as of January 1, 2001, as follows:

         1.       By deleting the existing Plan Section 1.18 and substituting
therefor the following new Section 1.18:

                  "1.18 `Eligibility Service' means the completion by an
         Employee of a sixty-consecutive-day period beginning on the date on
         which the Employee first performs or performed an Hour of Service upon
         his employment or reemployment or any anniversary thereof, without
         reaching a Severance Date, provided, however:

                           (a) If an Employee quits, retires or is discharged
                  and then performs an Hour of Service within twelve (12) months
                  of his Severance Date, then such period of severance shall be
                  taken into account in calculating Eligibility Service;

                           (b) if an Employee quits, retires or is discharged
                  during an absence from service of twelve (12) months or less
                  for any reason other than quit, discharge or attainment of a
                  Retirement Date and the Employee then performs an Hour of
                  Service within twelve (12) months of the date the Employee was
                  first absent from service, then such period of absence shall
                  be taken into account in calculating Eligibility Service; and

                           (c) in the case of an Employee who remains absent
                  from service beyond the first anniversary of the commencement
                  of a period of absence (1) by reason of the pregnancy of the
                  Employee; (2) by reason of the birth of a child of the
                  Employee; (3) by reason of the placement of a child with the
                  Employee in connection with the adoption of the child by the
                  Employee, or (4) for purposes of caring for such child for a
                  period immediately following its birth or placement, the
                  period between the first and second anniversaries of such
                  period of absence shall not be counted as Eligibility Service.
<PAGE>   2
                  Eligibility Service shall not include, in the case of a
         rehired Employee who did not have any vested right at his Severance
         Date and then incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, all
         periods which would otherwise constitute Eligibility Service before the
         first of the five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service commenced."

         2.       By deleting the existing Plan Section 3.2 and substituting
therefor the following new Section 3.2:

                  "3.2 Following the completion of a year of Service by a
         Member, the Plan Sponsor proposes to make contributions to the Fund
         with respect to such Plan Year on behalf of each Member in an amount
         equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount deferred by a Member
         pursuant to Plan Section 3.1, not in excess of six percent (6%) of the
         Member's Annual Compensation. The Board of Directors may, at its
         discretion, increase the percentage contribution under this Section 3.2
         for all Members, or for any specified unit, division, subdivision, or
         location, or for any Members who participated in a specified prior plan
         that was merged into the Plan."

         Except as specifically amended hereby, the Plan shall remain in full
force and effect as prior to this First Amendment.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Primary Sponsor has caused this First Amendment
to be executed as of the day and year first above written.

         2.       By adding the following new Plan Section 3.7 to the Plan:
