EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT    
    

        This employment agreement (this "Agreement") is made by and between DataPath, Inc., a Georgia corporation
("DataPath"), and Steven R. Wilson, an individual resident of Georgia (the "Employee"), effective
as of July 1, 2006 (the "Effective Date"). 

        Whereas,
DataPath desires to retain Employee and Employee desires to serve as Vice President and General Counsel of DataPath. 

        Now,
therefore, for and in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 

 
 

ARTICLE I—EMPLOYMENT TERMS    
    

 
 
        Section 1.1    Employment.     DataPath shall employ the Employee, and the Employee shall serve DataPath, in the
capacity of Vice President and General Counsel upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein. The Employee shall have such authority and responsibilities and duties as are consistent with his position and which may be set forth in the bylaws of DataPath or assigned by DataPath's
Chief Executive Officer, Board of Directors or any committee thereof (the "Board"), or its Chairman of the Board. The Employee shall devote his full
business time, attention, skill and efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder, except during periods of illness or periods of vacation and leaves of absence consistent with DataPath's company
policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee may devote reasonable periods of time to serve as a director or advisor to other organizations, and to perform charitable and other community
activities; provided, however, that such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of
his duties hereunder and are not in conflict or competitive with, or adverse to, the interests of DataPath. 

 
 

           Section 1.2    Term.     This Agreement shall be for a term of 18 months from the Effective Date (the
"Term"), which shall be extended
automatically (without further action of DataPath or the Employee) each day for an additional day so that the remaining term shall continue to be 18 months;  provided, however, that either party may at any time, by written notice to the other, fix the Term to a
finite term of 18 months, without further automatic extension, commencing with the date of such notice (a "Fixed Term"). 

 
 

           Section 1.3    Compensation and Benefits.     

        (a)   DataPath
shall pay the Employee a base salary at a rate of $250,000 per annum (the "Base Salary") in accordance with the
normal salary payment practices of DataPath. The Board shall review and may increase, but shall not decrease, the Employee's base salary at least annually. 

        (b)   For
2006, DataPath shall pay Employee an annual bonus of up to 80% of the Base Salary (the "Target Bonus") upon meeting
the established criteria for the Target Bonus as determined by the Board, which bonus may be increased to a maximum annual bonus of up to 160% of the Base Salary (the "Maximum
Bonus") upon meeting the established criteria for the Maximum Bonus as determined by the Board. The criteria and terms for the Target Bonus and Maximum Bonus for 2006 are
described in Exhibit A attached hereto. All bonus programs are subject to the discretion of the Board and adjustments may be made at the
discretion of the Board to take into account acquisitions, mergers, divestures and other transactions. 

        (c)   The
Employee may participate in DataPath's stock option plan and shall be eligible for the grant of stock options, restricted stock and other awards thereunder, subject
to the oversight and discretion of the Board. During the Term of this Agreement annually beginning in the first quarter of 2008 (there will be no grants in 2007 unless otherwise determined by the
Board), Employee shall receive an additional grant of options to purchase shares of DataPath common stock with an exercise price equal to the then current fair market value of DataPath stock, 

 

determined
in accordance with the then applicable option plan. The number of options to be granted in each instance shall be calculated as the number of options which, at the applicable exercise
price, are equal in value (utilizing the Black-Scholes model or other commonly accepted option valuation technique or lattice model formula) to 150% of Employee's then current Base Salary. All grants
shall vest over a period of five years, vesting 20% per year, and shall be subject to the terms of the applicable option agreement then in effect. Valuation calculations will be made and approved by
the Board. 

        (d)   The
Employee shall be entitled to participate in all retirement, life and health insurance, disability and other similar benefit plans or programs of DataPath now or
hereafter applicable to the Employee or applicable generally to executive employees of DataPath, including but not limited to the plans relating to the grant of stock options, restricted stock and
other awards. DataPath shall maintain at least the same level of benefits for the Employee as exist under the current medical and dental plan and the current long-term care plan, provided that the
Employee remains insurable under such plans at the same cost to DataPath as under current plans. 

        (e)   During
any period during the Term that the Employee is disabled, and during the 180-day period of physical or mental infirmity leading up to the Employee's disability,
the amount of the Employee's compensation provided under this Section 1.3 shall be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, paid to the Employee for the same period under any disability
benefit or pension plan of DataPath or any of its subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 1.3(e), Employee shall be deemed "disabled" upon the earlier of: (i) a written determination
by a duly licensed physician or psychologist following a personal examination of Employee that Employee is not capable of performing the normal duties attendant to his position with or without
reasonable accommodation and that such condition appears to be permanent or of indefinite duration; (ii) a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that Employee is not capable of
managing his own person or property and that such condition appears to be permanent or of indefinite duration; (iii) a determination by any duly licensed insurance company maintaining a policy
of disability insurance covering the Employee that the Employee is disabled to the point that benefits are payable pursuant to the terms of such policy; or (iv) the Employee has been unable to
perform the normal duties attendant to his position with or without reasonable accommodation for a continuous period of 180 days. 

        (f)    DataPath
shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable ordinary and necessary travel, conference, and other expenses related to Employee's duties which are incurred and
accounted for in accordance with the normal business policies and practices of DataPath. 

        (g)   Employee
shall be entitled to 20 days paid leave annually during the Term of this Agreement, exclusive of all holidays during which DataPath is closed for business. 

        (h)   DataPath
shall pay all Employees reasonable costs and expenses associated with Employee's legal and accounting licenses and affiliations, including Georgia and
California bar dues and CPA license fees, and continuing legal and accounting education courses approved by the CEO.

17 U.S.C.A. § 101 et seq., as amended, and owned exclusively and perpetually by DataPath. Employee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably transfers and assigns to DataPath
all intellectual property or other rights, title and interest Employee may currently have (or in the future may have) by operation of law or otherwise in or to any Work Product. Employee agrees to
execute and deliver to DataPath any transfers, assignments, documents or other instruments which DataPath may deem necessary or appropriate to vest complete and perpetual title and ownership of any
Work Product and all associated rights exclusively in DataPath. DataPath shall have the right to adapt, change, revise, delete from, add to and/or rearrange the Work Product or any part thereof
written or created by Employee, and to combine the same with other works to any extent, and to change or substitute the title thereof, and in this connection Employee hereby waives the "moral rights"
of authors as that term is commonly understood throughout the world including, without limitation, any similar rights or principles of law which Employee may now or later have by virtue of the law of
any locality, state, nation, treaty, convention or other source. Unless otherwise specifically agreed, Employee shall not be entitled to any compensation in addition to that provided for in
Article I of this Agreement for any exercise by DataPath of its rights set forth in this Article II. Notwithstanding the foregoing DataPath acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein
shall prevent Employee from keeping an electronic copy of any document Employee has prepared, reviewed or edited for his "forms file" to use as a model in any future engagements or endeavors.

would be suffered by DataPath if Employee should breach or violate any of the terms or
provisions of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article II. The Employee further acknowledges and agrees that each of these covenants and agreements is reasonably necessary to
protect and preserve the interests of DataPath. The parties agree that money damages for any breach of the covenants in this Article II will be insufficient to compensate for any breaches
thereof, and that the Employee will, to the extent permitted by law, waive in any proceeding initiated to enforce such provisions any claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists. The
existence of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action against DataPath, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by DataPath of any
of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement. 

 
 

           Section 2.7    Survival.     The covenants of Employee contained in this Article II shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the termination of Employee's employment with
