Part I Item 1. Business. General Sunquest Information Systems, Inc. ("Sunquest" or the "Company") provides health care information systems ("HCISs") to large and mid-sized hospitals, clinics and other facilities, including integrated delivery networks ("IDNs") comprised of multi-entity, multi-site health care organizations. With the purchase of Antrim Corporation ("Antrim") on November 26, 1996, the Company acquired significant market share in the commercial and medical reference laboratory market. See "--Recent Developments." Sunquest was established in 1979 and has become a market leader in the sale of laboratory information systems ("LISs") that integrate disparate equipment and data sources in order to automate a laboratory department's specialized processes and manage its large volumes of clinical data. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had an installed customer base of more than 950 sites in the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. Sunquest is applying its open systems, integration and clinical experience to develop and service enterprise-wide clinical repository, point-of-care, managed care, and commercial and reference laboratory systems targeted at the information needs of the emerging IDN market. The Company's clinical repository systems are in production use at the Company's initial site, a multi-entity, 812-bed IDN. Installation at the Company's second site, New Hanover Regional Medical Center, is nearing completion. Implementation planning and site pre-work are currently underway at a third site in the United Kingdom. In order to lower health care delivery costs while improving the quality of patient care, IDNs need detailed clinical and management information that enables providers within the IDN to manage such important processes as: (i) the patient care process across multiple delivery sites; (ii) the appropriateness of diagnoses, treatments and resource utilizations; (iii) provider performance and clinical outcomes; (iv) performance under managed care contracts; and (v) commercial and medical reference laboratory processing and business practices. A comprehensive clinical repository addresses these information needs by integrating clinical and financial data from various information systems of the IDN's clinical departments and administrative areas. A clinical repository forms the foundation for a computerized patient record ("CPR"), which offers providers throughout an IDN immediate on-line access to more complete patient data across multiple delivery sites. Significant market opportunities exist for HCIS vendors offering open architecture clinical repository systems. These systems permit IDNs to select and integrate best-of-fit information systems by either retaining existing legacy systems or selecting from an array of new and existing systems from different vendors. 1 Sunquest offers four suites of information systems: departmental clinical systems, clinical repository systems, managed care systems, and commercial and medical reference laboratory systems. The Company's departmental clinical systems consist of laboratory information systems and radiology information systems. These systems capture departmental information, communicate with patient care areas and other information systems, provide comprehensive management reports and incorporate rules-based decision tools for ordering tests and analyzing results. The radiology systems also facilitate accurate scheduling of diagnostic exams, film management and department specific reporting. Sunquest estimates that it has installed in its LIS client base over 8,300 interfaces that were developed for approximately 425 separate instruments and 550 HCISs of other vendors. The Company's clinical repository systems are comprised of a clinical database, an interface engine, and integration and access tools. These systems collect clinical data from legacy departmental systems and then organize, index and store these data in a relational database. With these clinical repository systems, a clinician can access, from a single source, a comprehensive record of prior illnesses, treatments, orders, results and diagnoses for which data have been stored in the clinical repository. The Company's managed care systems support the insurance contract administration functions of risk-bearing managed care organizations, such as health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), and managed care entities within IDNs. These systems are designed to meet the demands of the evolving capitation and fixed fee reimbursement structures. The Company's commercial and medical reference laboratory systems support the distinct needs of high-volume commercial laboratories including test processing, billing requirements and optimization of business practices. Sunquest markets its products and services internationally through its direct sales force and marketing relationships with other information systems vendors. These relationships include a marketing partnership with IBM as an LIS, radiology and clinical repository vendor in IBM's Open Healthcare Alliance. The Company's customers include Geisinger System Services, Florida Hospital, Aurora Health Care, IHC Health Services, Inc., Advocate Health Care and Allegheny Health Management Services.

Antrim, Answers, The Answer is Antrim, OnlineLab and the Antrim logo & design, among other marks, are registered trademarks of Antrim Corporation. 2 Recent Developments In June 1996, the Company completed its initial offering of stock to the public. A total of 3,450,000 shares of Common Stock were sold at a price of $16 per share, with net proceeds to the Company of $50.1 million after offering expenses. In connection with the public offering, the Company's status as an S corporation terminated and, as a result, the Company became subject to federal and state income taxes. On November 26, 1996, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Antrim from Antrim's parent corporation, The Compucare Company, for $5.0 million in a transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Antrim was founded in 1982 and is a leading provider of laboratory information systems for commercial and medical reference laboratories with 235 client sites installed at December 31, 1996. The acquisition of Antrim demonstrates the Company's continued commitment to growth through strategic acquisitions. The interoperability of Antrim's commercial lab product and the Company's multi- hospital product is proven in seven IDNs, each having a large commercial reference laboratory business. The functionality of the combined systems strengthens the Company's position as a leader serving the changing needs of the health care industry. Products Sunquest offers four suites of information systems: (i) departmental clinical systems that automate the operations of laboratory and radiology departments within a hospital; (ii) clinical repository systems that integrate departmental systems and serve as the foundation for the CPR; (iii) managed care systems that automate the administrative functions of managed care organizations; and (iv) commercial and medical reference laboratory systems that automate the clinical, financial, information support and business management operations of commercial medical laboratories. Departmental Clinical Systems Departmental clinical systems were the first applications developed by Sunquest. They manage the information needed to automate the operations of laboratory and radiology departments in one or more facilities and can also contribute the majority of the clinical data that populates a clinical repository. These systems capture departmental information, communicate with patient care areas and other information systems, provide comprehensive management reports and incorporate rules-based decision tools for ordering tests and analyzing results. The rules-based logic in the Company's LISs provides clinicians immediate access to current and archived information about the patient with complete data integrity checking. For example, the LISs perform checks for duplicate, inconsistent or illogical test orders. 3 Laboratory Information Systems Sunquest's FlexiLab system manages the workflow and reporting requirements of the chemistry, hematology, blood bank, anatomic pathology and outreach areas of the laboratory. Quality assurance validations occur dynamically as results are entered. For example, a clinician can define normal test result ranges by age, sex and test method. Later, if the results are out of range, Sunquest's FlexiLab system immediately informs the technologist of the validation failure. Sunquest estimates that it has installed in its LIS client base over 7,600 interfaces that were developed for approximately 350 separate instruments and 550 HCISs of other vendors. This interface library allows the Company to seamlessly integrate virtually any lab instrument or HCIS into a client's LIS. All data gathered by the system can be accessed from a clinical repository. The Company uses a variety of configuration options to support multi-hospitals and IDNs. The General Laboratory module is the core of the FlexiLab system and manages the processes of the high test volume areas of the laboratory. This module includes volume and performance statistics, patient archiving, demographics, patient reporting, security and audit trails. Sunquest has recently released Windows-based functionality to its General Laboratory module that features a new database schema, episodal management and outpatient tracking capabilities. Episodal management enables the entire on-line clinical patient record to be viewed at the laboratory level for clinical treatment analysis and financial and managed care cost analysis. Outpatient tracking capabilities enable separate tracking of the patient and the specimen, improving the efficiency with which a provider can manage concurrent care processes. The Microbiology module in FlexiLab provides a comprehensive, paperless environment that enhances the communication of microbiology and epidemiological results. User definable, automated rules assist the microbiologist in measuring the effectiveness of medications on specific organisms in order to predict effects on a patient's outcome. The Blood Bank module automates a hospital's complete transfusion service, including inventory and distribution of blood products to the patient. This module, which uses rules-based logic, is designed to prevent the distribution of inappropriate blood products. For example, the Blood Bank module automatically provides notice if the blood product has not been appropriately matched to the patient at the time of issue. The donor module automates the collection procedures and management of blood product inventories. It also manages and tracks blood donated by patients for their own use and provides quality controls to assure compliance with rules of good practice. 4 The Mulhos module utilizes the FlexiLab system to support multiple facilities. Each facility can have its own individualized reports, rules and options which allow for differences among facilities. The Mulhos module manages vital inter-institutional issues such as the security of patient information and conflicts between each facility's patient identification system. The Outreach/Commercial Lab module enables the hospital laboratory to expand beyond the traditional acute care needs of an IDN. Automated results reporting to remote physician offices and rapid order entry are among the features that support the commercial laboratory environment. Other features include the ability to update client data and courier routes in order to improve the laboratory's ability to manage its operations. Customized client reports assist the laboratory in designing its own patient reports. The Flexi-3R module provides redundancy and high systems availability within the LIS. Flexi-3R provides a secondary database that allows high volume printing of management and patient reports. Queries can be made into this database without affecting the response time of the primary database. Radiology Information Systems Sunquest's FlexiRad system is designed to streamline the operations of the radiology department and facilitate orders, intelligent scheduling, film management and reporting. FlexiRad, when used in conjunction with FlexiLab, provides an integrated view of results for radiology professionals. For example, laboratory results may be viewed before certain invasive radiology procedures. FlexiRad offers the option of processing patient orders directly via an order entry format, through an order communications interface with a hospital information system or through an interface to the clinical repository system. FlexiRad is functionally complete and is installed at 15 sites. Clinical Repository Systems Sunquest began marketing its clinical repository systems in 1995. These systems are designed to integrate both the Company's departmental clinical systems as well as those provided by other systems vendors, regardless of the architectures, platforms and data structures of those systems. This approach to integrating disparate information systems across an enterprise with a common clinical repository supports a provider's best-of-fit strategy and preserves the provider's investment in existing legacy departmental systems. 5 The Company's clinical repository systems, collectively known as IntelliCare, are comprised of a clinical database, integration and access tools, and an interface engine. The systems form the foundation for the CPR. The clinical repository systems collect clinical data from legacy departmental systems, which may be provided by Sunquest or other vendors. These data are organized, indexed and stored in a relational database for access and reporting as required for patient care and outcomes research. Examples of data stored include patient demographic data, diagnoses, problem lists, procedures and treatments, orders and results and physician notes that document the care process. The clinician can access these data from a single source and have a comprehensive record of prior illnesses, treatments, orders, results and diagnoses. Sunquest's open systems approach embraces best-of-fit applications and legacy departmental systems from other vendors. Scalable Clinical Patient Repository ("SCPR"), a module within IntelliCare, is a scalable clinical patient repository utilizing a relational database. The SCPR module accepts standard HL-7 formatted data from existing and new systems and allows clinicians, administrators and analysts to access patient information at the point-of-care. The Company's integration and access tools collect clinical data from departmental systems to populate a client's clinical repository. The clinical data can be displayed according to each provider's needs through the CareGiver software residing on the clinician's PC workstation. This software supports patient care decisions by providing patient test results more efficiently and offers flexible results reporting capabilities. For example, a clinician can "drill down" and see numeric results, and then display a graph of any of the available results. The clinician can also use the CareGiver software to place orders. Health care providers can be located in the hospital, at the physician's office or at a remote location, allowing patient care to be delivered with increased efficiency by making information available on an enterprise-wide basis. The CareGiver Communication module provides an easy-to-use, comprehensive order and results communication system designed for physicians, nurses, clerks, technologists, therapists and administrators. The system allows individual user preferences, generates enterprise-wide order communications and uses scalable client-server architecture. The CareGiver View module supports flexible results display and clinical decision-making by providing access to results data in multiple formats. Data can be presented as spreadsheets, graphs, and text, as well as in icon-based summaries. Results views can be customized for a specific clinician or group, and can easily be defined. CareGiver View allows trending of results for one encounter or across encounters and allows providers to "drill down" for more detailed results information. 6 The interface engine, part of which is licensed or purchased from a third- party, links applications that use HL-7 or proprietary communications protocols through a single-point interface hub. This single-point interface connection facilitates the installation of the clinical data repository. The interface engine connects all systems on the network, converts communications protocols and routes network communications among all systems that need to share data. IntelliCare, including the SCPR module, and the CareGiver Communication and CareGiver View modules have been successfully installed and are in production use on an enterprise-wide basis at Moses Cone Health Systems. Moses Cone is a multi-entity facility in Greensboro, North Carolina and includes a 547-bed acute care hospital, a 115-bed specialty hospital, a 150-bed extended care facility and other health care facilities. New Hanover Regional Medical Center is the Company's second IntelliCare site. New Hanover is a 648-bed tertiary care medical center associated with four medical schools. New Hanover is a teaching hospital and major referral center and also includes the 60-bed Coastal Rehabilitation Hospital as part of its delivery network. The SCPR module was put into service in November 1996, and the CareGiver Communication and CareGiver View modules went into service on the first units of the floor of the hospital in December 1996. Implementation planning and site pre-work are currently underway at a third site in the United Kingdom. Because the Company has only recently begun to market its clinical repository systems, it has not yet established firm market prices for these systems. The Company's future success will depend to a significant degree upon its ability to enhance the functionality of, and successfully market, its clinical repository systems. If the Company's clinical repository systems are not developed substantially on schedule, do not perform substantially as expected or are not accepted in the marketplace, the Company's business and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. Managed Care Systems The Company's Managed Care Manager Payor ("MCM Payor") is a system that supports the administrative insurance functions of managed care organizations, such as HMOs, management services organizations and IDNs that offer their own managed care insurance products. MCM Payor is designed to meet the demands of evolving point-of-care and capitated payment structures. The systems have the flexibility to meet the requirements of health care organizations seeking to offer risk-bearing managed care products on a small, medium or large scale. MCM Payor includes a claims administration system that automates capitation/risk management, claims adjudication, enrollment, premium billing and accounts receivable, referral tracking, utilization reports, coordination of benefits, patient history, medical referrals, authorizations and membership services. 7 The Enrollment System module is the foundation of MCM Payor. The Enrollment System maintains group and membership information and supports all functions in an integrated system. Enrollment is maintained interactively, providing on-line eligibility information and a variety of enrollment reports. The Billing and Accounts Receivable module generates group and direct pay bills, maintains accounts receivable, posts cash receipts, and provides revenue and accounts receivable reports. The Capitation module produces monthly capitation checks, rosters and activity reports to designated providers. The Claims module addresses claims adjudication for pharmacy, hospital and physician claims. The Utilization Reports module details and summarizes data in MCM Payor. The Coordination of Benefits module maintains coordination of benefits information for health plan members known to be covered by other insurance companies. The Referral module manages referrals for a patient to see a specialist or other provider. On an interactive basis, it maintains a description of the referral, including information regarding the patient, the referring physician, the referred specialist, the range of dates for the referral, the number of visits authorized and the amount of money authorized. The Authorization module manages pre-certifications of hospital stays or expensive outpatient procedures. The number of days for a stay can be pre- certified with additional days approved or denied with an attached explanation. The Inpatient Census module monitors inpatient admissions beginning with pre-certification, then documents the subsequent admission and discharge. The module is used to monitor pre-certifications, current admissions and length of stay and to provide utilization reports and financial reports of incurred inpatient expenses. Sunquest purchased the technology underlying MCM Payor in February 1995 but did not acquire the installed MCM Payor client base. The Company has furthered the development of the MCM Payor technology and released a new version for client-server architecture in September 1996. Subsequent to the release of the new version, the Company has sold and installed one MCM Payor system. 8 Commercial and Medical Reference Laboratory Systems Antrim offers commercial laboratory systems for the medical laboratory marketplace.

Third-Party Marketing Arrangements Sunquest believes that there are advantages to open system solutions that facilitate the interoperation of products from other vendors. Consequently, the Company has entered into an assortment of value added remarketer ("VAR") agreements, joint marketing agreements and licensing agreements with other vendors. Hardware and resold software are purchased from third-party vendors under VAR agreements and sold to customers in conjunction with the Company's software products. Hardware support is the responsibility of the hardware manufacturers under agreements negotiated directly between the supplier and the customer or agreements where Sunquest acts as an intermediary in negotiating the support agreement. 10 Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the Company entered into agreements with third parties to offer the following functionalities in conjunction with the Company's products: Point-of-Care In May 1996 the Company entered into a joint marketing-referral agreement with PACE Health Management Systems, Inc. ("PACE"). PACE is a growing provider of advanced point-of-care modules, including care planning, assessments, clinical notes, critical pathways and discharge education. Enterprise Scheduling In January 1997 the Company entered into a VAR agreement with Centennial Systems, Inc. which grants Sunquest a non-exclusive license to market, sublicense, support and otherwise use the Baseline 2000 Multi-Resource Scheduling System . This stand-alone product allows clinicians to schedule IDN resources such as rooms, beds, lab tests and outpatient clinics across the IDN's multiple facilities and services. Rules-Based Orders In February 1997 the Company entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with Multum Information Services, Inc. ("Multum") whereby Sunquest will market Multum's MediSource drug information service to be provided as an option with Sunquest's proprietary system. The Company anticipates that the first use of the Multum software development kit will be in enhancements to the CareGiver Communication module to provide comprehensive, patient-specific drug and pharmacy clinical information during the clinical ordering cycle. Anatomic Pathology In February 1997, the Company entered into a VAR agreement with Dynamic Healthcare Technologies, Inc. ("Dynamic"). The agreement grants the Company a non-exclusive license to modify, interface, market, sublicense, support and otherwise use the Dynamic software program known as CoPath Client/Server ("CoPath") which is a computer clinical information system used in surgical pathology, cytology and autopsy. Dynamic has over 250 clients using CoPath. 11 Products Under Development The following products are under development utilizing the same client- server architecture as the Company's existing clinical repository systems. CareGiver Workstation will provide a common application for Sunquest's and other vendors' systems, including single point log-on, a common patient finder and device control for display and printing. Sunquest and non- Sunquest applications will have a common "look and feel" for patient inquiry and users will not be required to exit the system to access other vendors' systems. This product will facilitate the inter-operation of CareGiver software with other vendors' open clinical systems. When developed, CareGiver Workstation will supplement or replace CareGiver View. CareGiver Documentation will provide tools for planning and documenting patient care throughout the enterprise. The system will support multiple health care professionals, including nurses, therapists and physicians, and will address ambulatory and in-patient settings. CareGiver Documentation will support managed care through clinical pathways defined by the enterprise as well as outcomes management and variance tracking. CareGiver Documentation will significantly enhance the functionality of CareGiver modules by providing a structured, user-friendly methodology for inputting patient information into the clinical repository. CareGiver Event Management will provide alerts and decision support to health care providers to assure high quality patient care. The system will accept standardized input from feeder systems in the IntelliCare environment, check this information against a variety of rules and provide prompt notification to clinicians of any adverse situation. The system will also provide expert advice to assist clinicians in determining the optimum, cost effective antibiotic treatment of infectious diseases. Cost Management Data Repository ("CMDR") is the planned financial data repository to be integrated with IntelliCare. Data from financial information sources, including actual or estimated service costs, hospital claims, physician claims, patient accounting records and managed care applications, will comprise the repository. By linking financial data to clinical data, CMDR will enable clients to improve the quality and cost of patient care. Lab Data Network ("LDN") is a product and service offering comprised of numerous component solutions to address the laboratory consolidation trend in the health care industry. LDN enables disparate lab systems within a health care network to send orders, specimens and results to each other and to a central lab data warehouse. Core lab and "Centers of Excellence" models can be effectively automated with LDN. The outreach client base is provided with a GUI longitudinal results view from the lab data warehouse populated by disparate lab systems. 12 Global Participant Index ("GPI") is a generic term for a software product required by IDNs for administration of their membership. This product will uniquely identify a patient or client who may have different identifiers at various hospitals, clinics and physician practices before they joined the integrated network. The GPI accepts inputs from network entities, assigns unique identifiers, if required, and provides positive identification of the member. Enhanced versions of the product enable patient registration, physicians registration, physicians credentialling, automated member chart location and emergency admission data capture in hospitals and others. The AnswerNet application is a remote information access system that accesses information on the various Antrim information systems, utilizing industry standard web technology on a corporation intranet. There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful and timely development, introduction and marketing of new and enhanced products. Client Services At December 31, 1996, the Company employed a service organization of approximately 370 professionals who provide implementation, application and system support, education and consulting services to the Company's clients. The client services organization primarily employs medical technologists and other health care professionals in supporting and implementing clinical information systems. These personnel are complemented by computer professionals to support complex IDNs. Client services employees attend rigorous training including, where required, a formal nine to 12-month initial training program to comply with the Company's certification requirements. Sunquest utilizes a "train the trainer" philosophy to educate its clients. This training consists of a structured process of project management and education with flexible schedule options, with training held at both the Company's and the clients' sites. System conversion, instrument training and operations training are included in the Company's post-implementation program. Each client is assigned a support analyst who understands how the software has been tailored for the client and how best to provide ongoing support.

Sunquest's principal sources of referrals are its clients and consultants. Sunquest also seeks to enhance its market recognition through participation in industry seminars and trade shows, Company-sponsored seminars, the Sunquest User Group and Regional User Group meetings in the United States and the United Kingdom, the Antrim User Group meetings, direct mail campaigns, telemarketing and advertisements in trade journals. The Company is also entering into marketing relationships with other industry vendors. For example, in June 1995, the Company joined the IBM Open Healthcare Alliance in which IBM acts as a value-added remarketer of the Company's systems and those of other providers of HCISs. The Company's agreement with IBM covers marketing activities in the United States and Puerto Rico. In October 1995, Sunquest Europa Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with IBM under which IBM will serve as a value-added remarketer of the Company's systems in certain Asian-Pacific countries. To date, IBM has not sold any of the Company's products. Both IBM agreements are terminable by either IBM or Sunquest upon 90 days' notice. The Company's marketing department is composed of a team of specialists in product management, sales support, competitive analysis, quoting, proposals and advertising. Its sales force is organized into six divisions: (i) FlexiLab Sales, offering LISs information systems; (ii) FlexiRad Sales, offering radiology information systems; (iii) European Sales, offering the Company's systems in the United Kingdom and Germany; (iv) IntelliCare Sales, offering clinical information repositories, order entry and enterprise-wide results and data viewing systems; (iv) MCM Payor Sales, targeting third party administrators, insurers and HMOs; and (vi) Antrim Sales, offering commercial and medical reference laboratory systems. 14 Technology Sunquest's HCISs operate on IBM RS6000 and a variety of Digital Equipment Corporation ("DEC") server systems. Users access the Company's applications using IBM compatible PCs and/or terminals. FlexiLab and FlexiRad are offered on both IBM and DEC platforms. IntelliCare, CareGiver Communication, CareGiver View and MCM Payor are offered on the IBM RS6000 and will also be offered on DEC platforms. Antrim's suite of products is being offered on IBM RS6000 and DEC platforms. The Company utilizes the M computer language (also known as "MUMPS" or "Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-Programming System") in the development of its departmental clinical systems. IntelliCare and the CareGiver systems have been developed, and MCM Payor is being developed, using a three- tier client-server architecture with the presentation layer (user interface) on the client, the business logic layer on both the client and the server, and the relational database layer. The PC operating system is Windows (currently Windows 3.11 or Windows 95), and the server operating system is UNIX. Antrim has developed all its information systems in the M language. Antrim's Online Lab for Windows system was developed in Visual Basic. The AnswerNet product under development utilizes both M and web standard HTML languages. Sunquest is migrating departmental clinical systems to the three-tier client-server model by developing the object-oriented presentation layer and client-side business logic layer so that M-based data structures, relational data structures and object database structures (all residing on the server) can be deployed incrementally, depending on the state of product evolution. Although the Company does not believe that such migration is currently necessary to satisfy its clients' needs, the Company expects to transition all of its systems and modules to object orientation using the C++ programming language and relational and object database technology. Sunquest sells third-party terminals, label and page printers, storage devices and other peripheral devices. The Company also provides services to configure computer systems and networks. The Company has one-year renewable reseller agreements with DEC and IBM and a variety of reseller agreements with other middleware and device vendors. Research and Development The Company believes that the continuing rapid evolution of the HCIS market has made a substantial and sustained commitment to product development essential to the long-term success of its business. The Company has a defined product development process characterized by its release management methodology. This process includes on-going analysis of the HCIS marketplace, determination of users' requirements, preparation of design specifications, and usability testing to ensure that new systems meet clients' standards. 15 Sunquest's product development managers are responsible for product architecture, improvements to existing products, construction verification and inspection. The Company's product development engineers are assigned to one of three distinct functional groups: (i) the product engineering group, which is responsible for the ongoing evolution of the Company's existing products to meet the changing demands of the market; (ii) the service engineering group, which prioritizes corrections and improvements to deployed systems; and (iii) the infrastructure engineering group, which researches industry-standard components and develops new technologies for integration into the Company's current and future products. As of December 31, 1996, approximately 156 product development engineers were assigned to improving and extending the Company's existing systems and approximately 56 engineers were assigned to the development of products in new product areas. In 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company's research and development expenses before capitalization of software development costs totaled approximately $12.8 million, $11.8 million and $9.7 million, respectively. Competition The markets for HCISs, including the markets for the Company's information systems, are highly competitive. Most of the Company's revenues are derived from lengthy, competitive procurement processes managed by sophisticated purchasers that extensively investigate and compare the products offered by the Company and its competitors. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors influencing the market for its HCISs include vendor and product reputation, product architecture, functionality and features, ease of use, rapidity of implementation, quality of client support, product performance and price. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully with respect to any of such factors. The Company's principal competitors are Cerner Corporation, HBO & Company, Medical Information Technology, Inc., Shared Medical Systems Corporation, Soft Computer Consultants, Inc. and Triple G Corporation. In addition, the Company competes with a large number of other information system vendors. The market for clinical repository systems is in an early stage, and a significant number of vendors are currently offering or developing competitive versions of clinical repository systems. These vendors include not only existing clinical information systems suppliers, but other vendors throughout the HCIS industry, such as suppliers of practice management systems. 16 Many of the Company's current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, managerial, development, technical, marketing and sales resources than the Company and may be able to devote those resources to develop and introduce clinical information systems more rapidly than the Company or clinical information systems with significantly greater functionality than, and superior overall performance to, those offered by the Company. These competitors may also be able to initiate and withstand significant price decreases more effectively than the Company. Moreover, the continuing consolidation of hospitals and other health care providers has resulted in fewer individual purchasing decisions, a trend that may favor larger vendors with greater numbers of hospitals currently under contract. To be competitive, the Company must be able to respond effectively to the introduction of new and improved HCISs by its competitors. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop new or improved HCISs and services in a timely and cost effective manner or that the Company's current and future HCISs and services will achieve and maintain market acceptance. Regulation The United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") is authorized to regulate medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended. In 1989, the FDA issued a draft policy addressing the regulation of certain computer software products as medical devices. The draft policy stated that the FDA would regulate certain computer software products via the FDA's "general controls," which include registration listing, good manufacturing practices and the clearance of pre-market notifications ("501(k)s"), and that other types of computer software products also considered by the FDA to be medical devices would not be actively regulated. The FDA has been inconsistent in its interpretation, application and enforcement of this draft policy. At present, the FDA is actively reevaluating this draft policy to determine the types of computer software products it will consider to be medical devices and how they will be regulated. Recent public statements made by FDA representatives suggest that certain computer software products will be regulated via a variety of FDA controls, including clearance of a 510(k) demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to other products prior to marketing. Other computer software products may be regulated via "software quality audits" verifying that the computer software has been appropriately developed plus other regulatory controls. Other types of computer software products would be only minimally regulated. 17 Depending on how the FDA interprets and applies it policies as well as the type of computer software at issue, the Company's software products may be subject to any of these requirements. It is also possible that the Company's software products, other than its blood bank software products, will not be actively regulated. In March 1994, the FDA issued a letter advising that the FDA considers medical devices to include software products intended for use in the manufacture of blood and blood components or for the maintenance of data used to assist personnel in making decisions concerning the suitability of blood donors and the release of blood or blood components for transfusion or further manufacture. As such, the FDA determined that manufacturers and distributors of these products, such as the Company, are subject to FDA regulation, including the submission of 510(k)s. In October 1995, the FDA extended the time for blood bank software manufacturers to file 510(k)s with the FDA to March 31, 1996. Sunquest complied with this requirement within such deadline. Antrim complied with this requirement in April 1996, having applied for and received an extension of time to file its 510(k). Antrim was the subject of a good manufacturing practices ("GMP") audit conducted by the FDA in March 1996. As a result of the audit, Antrim received a warning letter from the FDA in June 1996 instructing Antrim to resolve certain GMP issues and to contract with an independent, third-party auditor to certify that certain procedures were in place. The independent audit was conducted in November 1996 and the results of the audit indicated that the non-compliance issues had not been resolved. Sunquest intends to assist Antrim in achieving compliance with FDA policies going forward and to help Antrim sunset Antrim's blood bank product and replace it with Sunquest's blood bank product. Until then, Sunquest intends to (i) provide quality assurance management, guidance and assistance to Antrim, (ii) oversee Antrim's implementation of good manufacturing practices, and (iii) assist Antrim in developing the necessary procedures and processes for software testing and support. Compliance with the FDA's current requirements, and any future requirements imposed by the FDA, could be costly and could delay or preclude the introduction of certain new products. The Company is unable to determine at this time the effect, if any, that these requirements may have on its business. In addition, the health care industry is subject to changing political, economic and regulatory influences that may effect the procurement practices and operation of health care providers. Many lawmakers have announced that they intend to propose programs to reform the United States health care system. These programs may contain proposals to increase governmental involvement in health care, lower reimbursement rates and otherwise change the regulatory environment in which the Company's clients operate. Health care providers may react to these proposals and the uncertainty surrounding such proposals by curtailing or deferring investments, including those for the Company's HCISs. Even if health care providers do not curtail or defer investments, they may institute cost containment measures in anticipation of regulatory reform or for other reasons. These measures may result in greater selectivity in the allocation of capital funds, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to sell its HCISs and services. The Company cannot predict with any 18 certainty what impact, if any, such legislative or market-driven reforms might have on its business and results of operations. There can be no assurance that such proposed changes, if adopted, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Proprietary Rights The Company's future success depends in large part upon its ability to protect its technology and proprietary rights. The Company relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect its proprietary rights, although the laws of certain foreign countries in which the Company licenses or may license its products may not protect the Company's proprietary rights to the same extent as do laws in the United States. It is the Company's policy to require employees, consultants, clients and, in certain circumstances, suppliers to execute nondisclosure agreements upon the commencement of a relationship with the Company. The system acquisition agreements under which the Company licenses its software products to its clients generally prohibit the assignment or transfer of the software or use of the software by any person or entity other than the named client or its affiliates or successors. The agreements provide that the Company retains ownership of the software and proprietary information and of all rights therein. Except for information which is in the public domain, the client is required to hold the software and proprietary information in confidence and use reasonable care to preserve and safeguard such information. The trade name Sunquest and other trade names used by Sunquest in its business, such as FlexiLab and FlexiRad, have been registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The name Sunquest has also been registered by Sunquest in the United Kingdom and Germany. The trade name Antrim and other trade names used by Antrim in its business, such as Answers and The Answer is Antrim, have also been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. See "--General." In addition, certain of the Company's products are the subject of patent protection or a pending patent application. Despite the actions taken by the Company to protect its technology and proprietary rights, it may nonetheless be possible for third parties to misappropriate the Company's technology and proprietary information or to develop independently similar or superior technology. There can be no assurance that the legal protections afforded to the Company and the measures taken by the Company will be adequate to protect its intellectual property. Any misappropriation of the Company's technology or proprietary information could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Moreover, the Company is subject to the risk that others will assert adverse claims and commence litigation alleging infringement or misappropriation of their intellectual property rights. From time to time, certain persons have made such claims against the Company. Although the Company does not know of any infringement or misappropriation by the Company of proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance that others will not assert claims or commence litigation 19 with respect to the Company's current or future HCISs. In any such event, the Company may be required to engage in protracted and costly litigation, regardless of the merits of such claims; discontinue the use of certain software codes, processes or trademarks; cease to manufacture, use and license infringing products; develop non-infringing technology; or enter into license arrangements with respect to the disputed intellectual property. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to develop alternative technology or that any necessary licenses would be available or that, if available, such licenses could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. Responding to and defending any of these claims could distract the attention of management and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. System Acquisition Agreements The Company typically furnishes its systems to its clients pursuant to system acquisition agreements that grant perpetual, non-exclusive and non- transferable licenses to use those systems, including the source code for certain of the Company's proprietary software included therein. Under these agreements, the Company also resells certain items of hardware to its clients. Clients pay specified fees for the license of software proprietary to the Company and the sublicense of software proprietary to third parties. Clients also pay specified fees for hardware, installation and training in the use of the system. License fees for the Company's systems are typically based on a number of factors, including the number and type of software modules included in the system, as well as the volume of use by the client. The Company generally supports and maintains the licensed systems and provides modifications, enhancements and upgrades for a monthly fee under separate maintenance agreements. Backlog At December 31, 1996, the Company had a total contract backlog of $87.3 million, which consisted of $41.9 million of system sales and $45.4 million of support and service. At December 31, 1995, total contract backlog was $62.7 million, which consisted of $33.7 million of system sales and $29.0 million of support and service. System sales backlog consists of the unearned amounts of signed contracts which have not yet been recognized as revenues. Support and service backlog consists primarily of contracted software support for a period of 12 months. The Company is unable to predict accurately the amount of backlog it expects to fill in any particular period, since it adjusts the timing of installations to accommodate clients' needs and since installations typically require eight to 12 months to complete. 20 Employees As of December 31, 1996, the Company had 755 employees. None of the Company's employees are represented by a labor union, nor has the Company experienced any work stoppages. The Company believes that it has good relations with its employees.

The Company's principal executive and administrative offices and its sales and marketing, customer services and product development facilities are located in two buildings containing 102,000 square feet of office space and 85,000 square feet of office space, respectively, in Tucson, Arizona, which the Company leases from Any Travel, Inc., a travel agency located in Tucson, Arizona, which is owned by related parties. The lease for the 102,000 square foot building, which includes an adjacent two-level parking facility, currently requires monthly rental payments of $92,128 and expires in September 2001. The Company occupies approximately 36,000 square feet of office space in the other building and subleases the remaining space to a number of subtenants. The lease for the second building currently requires monthly rental payments of $70,940 and expires in May 2004. Sunquest receives monthly rental payments under the subleases totaling approximately $46,000. The Company also owns a two-story building, containing approximately 18,000 square feet, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, which it intends to use as an office facility. On February 21, 1997, the Company purchased land and a building in Tucson, Arizona, for cash in the amount of $1.8 million. The Company anticipates the facility will be used for customer-related activities. Antrim leases office space in Plano, Texas, containing approximately 47,420 square feet. The lease currently requires monthly rental payments of $55,323 and expires in May 2001. The Company believes that its facilities will be adequate for its current operations for at least the next twelve months. Borrowings under the Company's line of credit with Bank of America Arizona are secured by all of the Company's assets. The Company has also granted liens on all of its assets to a vendor to secure amounts due for the purchase of hardware and other equipment. 23 Item 3. Legal Proceedings. As of the date hereof, the Company is not a party to any proceedings the outcome of which, in the opinion of management, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. On June 20, 1995, the Company received a letter from the attorney for a software producer in California claiming that certain communications between the companies gave rise to a contract for, among other things, the development of a Sunquest radiology scheduling system using technology developed by the software producer. The letter alleged that the software producer had incurred damages of approximately $3.9 million as a result of Sunquest's breach of the alleged contract and further asserted that the software producer was prepared to commence litigation immediately. By letter of June 22, 1995, the attorney was informed of Sunquest's position that it had not entered into a contract with the software producer and that the asserted claim for breach of contract was meritless. To the Company's knowledge, no lawsuit has been filed. In the event that the alleged claim is pursued in court, the Company believes that the resolution of the claim will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders during the quarter ended December 31, 1996. Part II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. The Company's Common Stock is traded on the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market System under the symbol "SUNQ." Trading commenced May 31, 1996 as a result of the Company's initial offering of stock to the public. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices of the Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market System.
Price Range Period High Low - ------------------------------------------------------ 1996 Second quarter (from May 31) $19.750 $12.000 Third quarter $19.000 $10.125 Fourth quarter $18.625 $13.000
24 Except for S corporation distributions, no dividends have been declared or paid on the Company's Common Stock. The Company anticipates that it will retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The Company's line of credit and guaranty agreements prohibit the payment of any capital distributions or dividends other than the S corporation distributions. At March 21, 1997, there were 18 holders of record of the Common Stock, and the Company believes that on that date there were in excess of 700 beneficial owners of the Common Stock. Item 6.

Eligibility to Participate in the Plan. -------------------------------------- 5.1 The Committee may grant NSOs, SARs and Restricted Stock to any Employee or Eligible Independent Contractor. The Committee may grant ISOs to any Employee. The Committee shall have the sole authority to select the Recipients of Awards and the type of Award. Recipients of Awards shall be selected by the Committee from among those Employees and Eligible Independent Contractors who, in the opinion of the Committee, have the capacity to contribute significantly to the long-term value-added performance and growth of the Company or Subsidiary. 5.2 No award may be granted to an Employee or Eligible Independent Contractor within six months of his expected retirement date (or expected date of termination of employment or service). 6. Options. ------- 6.1 Options may be granted alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards. Options granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve. The terms and conditions of each Option granted under the Plan shall be specified by the Committee and shall be set forth in a written agreement between the Company and the Optionee in such form as the Committee shall approve (the "Option Agreement"). The terms and conditions of each Option need not be identical to those of any other Option granted hereunder. Each Option Agreement shall contain the following terms and conditions, and such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the purpose of the Plan and the requirements of applicable law, as the Committee shall determine: (a) Each Option Agreement shall state the total number of shares of Common Stock to which the Option relates. 5 (b) Each Option Agreement shall state the Option Price per share for the Common Stock to which the Option relates, which shall not be less than the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the date the Option is granted, except for certain ISOs described in Subsection 6.1(j) hereof. (c) Each Option Agreement shall state the expiration date of the Option to which it relates, which date shall not be later than the tenth anniversary of the date that the Option is granted, except for certain ISOs described in Subsection 6.1(j) hereof. No Option may be exercised by any person after expiration of the term of the Option. (d) Each Option Agreement shall state the time or times at which Options shall be exercisable and the terms and conditions applicable to such exercise, all as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that except as provided below in Section 6.1(f), (g) and (h) and in Section 11.1, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the date of the grant, no Option shall be exercisable for a period of six (6) months from the date of grant. (e) Upon termination of an Optionee's employment or service with the Company and Subsidiaries for reasons other than termination at or after age 65, Disability or death, the Optionee's Option shall, unless expressly provided otherwise in the Option Agreement, expire on the date of such termination. (f) If an Optionee's employment or service with the Company and Subsidiaries terminates at or after age 65, then unless expressly provided otherwise in the Option Agreement, the Optionee may exercise the Option to the extent exercisable at the date of such termination until the earlier of (i) the expiration date of the Option, or (ii) the one hundred eightieth (180) day following such termination. (g) In the event of the death of the Optionee while in the employment or service of the Company or Subsidiary, then unless expressly provided otherwise in the Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised, to the extent the Optionee was entitled to do so on the date of his death, by the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under the Option pass by will or by applicable law, or if no such person has such right, by his executors or administrators, until the earlier of (i) the expiration date of the Option, or one (1) year after the Optionee's death. (h) If an Optionee's employment or service with the Company and Subsidiaries terminates by reason of Disability, then unless expressly provided otherwise in the Option Agreement, the Optionee may exercise the Option to the extent exercisable at the date of such termination until the earlier of (i) the expiration date of the Option, or (ii) one (1) year after the date of such termination. (i) The Option Price may be paid, as permitted by the Committee, in cash or check (payable to the order of the Company), in shares of Common Stock already owned by the Optionee having a total Fair Market Value equal to the purchase price, by sale of shares of Common Stock acquired in the exercise of an Option (to the extent 6 such cashless exercise is permitted by the Committee and under the Rules), or any combination thereof approved by the Committee. If payment of the exercise price of an Option is made in whole or in part in shares of Common Stock already owned by the Optionee, the Committee may require that the stock be owned for a period of at least six (6) months. Following the exercise of an Option and the payment of the full Option price, the Company shall issue a stock certificate evidencing the Optionee's ownership of such Common Stock. No shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the Option Price is received by the Company. (j) Any Option intended to be an ISO shall be designated as such in the applicable Option Agreement. No ISO shall be granted to any Employee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its parent corporation (within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code) or Subsidiary, unless the Option Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the ISO on the date of grant and the Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date the Option is granted. In addition, as determined at the time an ISO is granted, the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the ISO (under all plans of the Company and of its parent corporation and Subsidiaries) first exercisable in any calendar year shall not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). (k) Options by their terms shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during an Optionee's lifetime, shall be exercisable only by the Optionee. 6.2 The Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to cash out all or part of the Common Stock to be exercised under an Option by paying the Optionee an amount, in cash, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock over the Option Price on the effective date of such exercise. If this conversion right is exercised, an Optionee shall forfeit all other rights associated with such converted Option. 7. Stock Appreciation Rights. ------------------------- 7.1 Grant of SARs. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights separate ------------- and apart from, or in tandem with, any Option granted under the terms of the Plan. When granted in tandem with Options, SARs may be granted with respect to all or part of the Common Stock under a particular Option, and may be granted coincident with or after the date of grant of the related Option. 7.2 Exercise of SARs. SARs may be exercised from time to time by written ---------------- notice from the holder thereof to the Company of the holder's intent to exercise the SARs with respect to a specified number of shares. SARs shall entitle the holder thereof, upon exercise, in whole or in part, to receive payment in the amount and form determined pursuant to Section 7.3(c). SARs granted in tandem with Options may be exercised only to the extent that the related Option has not been exercised. The exercise of a tandem SAR shall result 7 in a pro rata surrender of the related Option to the extent that the tandem SAR has been exercised. Similarly, the exercise of a related Option shall result in a pro rata surrender of the tandem SAR to the extent that the Option has been exercised. 7.3 Terms and Conditions. The grant of SARs shall be evidenced by a written -------------------- SAR agreement in a form approved by the Committee. Each SAR agreement shall be consistent with the following express terms and conditions, and shall include such other terms and conditions, consistent with the purposes of the Plan and the requirements of applicable law, as the Committee shall determine: (a) SARs shall be exercisable at such time or times and only to the extent specified in the SAR agreement. SARs shall in no event be exercisable during the first six (6) months after the date of grant. (b) SARs shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the holder's lifetime, shall be exercisable only by the holder. (c) Upon exercise of SARs, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the day preceding the exercise date over (ii) the price per share stated in the SAR agreement for a SAR not granted in tandem with an Option or the Option Price per share of any related Option for a SAR granted in tandem with an Option, multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the SARs shall have been exercised. Such amount shall be paid, as determined by the Committee, in the form of (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value on the day preceding the exercise date equal to such amount, or (iii) a combination of cash and such Common Stock. (d) In no event shall a SAR be exercisable at a time when the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock is less than the price per share stated in the SAR agreement for a SAR not granted in tandem with an Option or the Option Price per share of any related Option for a SAR granted in tandem with an Option. (e) SARs shall terminate in accordance with the rules in Section 6.1(c), (e), (f), (g), and (h) hereof regarding termination of Options. 8. Restricted Stock. ---------------- 8.1 Rights As A Stockholder. The grant of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced ----------------------- by a Restricted Stock agreement issued in accordance with Section 8.2. The Committee shall direct that a certificate or certificates for Restricted Stock be issued to the grantee, and registered in the name of the grantee, who shall have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock subject to such restrictions set forth in the Restricted Stock agreement. The certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock shall be inscribed with a legend as to the restrictions on sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrance during the restricted period as the Committee may impose, and may, if the 8 Committee in its sole discretion should direct, be delivered to and held during the restricted period by the Company, together with a stock power endorsed in blank by the grantee. 8.2 Restrictions. Each Restricted Stock agreement shall include such terms and ------------ conditions, including with respect to the restricted period, restrictions on sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or other encumbrance, forfeiture and vesting, that are consistent with the purposes of the Plan and the requirements of applicable law, as the Committee shall determine at the time of granting the Restricted Stock. Any new, additional or different shares or securities resulting from any change to the Common Stock under Section 3.2 shall be subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions contained in the Restricted Stock agreement to which the Restricted Stock was subject immediately prior to such change. The Committee may, in its discretion, remove, modify or accelerate the release of restrictions on any Restricted Stock in the event of hardship or of Disability of the grantee while employed or in the service of the Company or Subsidiary, or for such other reasons as the Committee may deem appropriate in the event that the grantee ceases to be in employment or service with the Company and Subsidiaries. In the event of the grantee's death following the delivery of Restricted Stock, the personal representative of the grantee's estate or the person or persons to whom the Restricted Stock shall have passed by bequest or the laws of descent and distribution shall take such Restricted Stock subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions in effect at the time of the grantee's death, to the extent applicable. 9. Amendment and Termination. ------------------------- The Board may amend or discontinue the Plan at any time and for any reason (either by resolution or unanimous consent), but no amendment or discontinuation shall be made which would impair a Recipient's rights under an Award theretofore granted without the Recipient's consent, or which, without approval of the Company's shareholders, would require shareholder approval under the Rules. The Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of the Recipient of the Award without the Recipient's consent. 10. Unfunded Status of the Plan. --------------------------- The Plan is an unfunded plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Recipient, the Recipient shall not have any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan and to deliver Common Stock or payments in lieu thereof with respect to any Awards. 9 11. General Provisions. ------------------ 11.1 The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide at the time of granting any Award that the terms of the Award, including but not limited to, the date on which an award vests or becomes exercisable, may be modified in the event of a Change in Control. 11.2 Each Award may provide that the recipient shall deliver to the Committee, upon demand by the Committee, at the time of delivery of any certificates representing shares of Common Stock a written representation that the shares are to be acquired for investment and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof. Upon such demand, delivery of such representation prior to delivery of any shares shall be a condition precedent to the right of the Recipient (or any other person) to acquire any shares. 11.3 Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements (subject to shareholder approval, if such shareholder approval is required) of general applicability or otherwise. 11.4 Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon any Recipient any right to continued employment or service with the Company or Subsidiary and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company or Subsidiary to terminate its relationship with any of its employees, directors or independent contractors at any time. 11.5 No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of a Recipient for applicable income tax purposes with respect to any Award, the Recipient shall pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the minimum required withholding obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is subject to the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditioned upon such payment or arrangements and the Company shall to the extent permitted by law have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Recipient. 11.6 The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a Recipient to designate a beneficiary to whom any amount payable in the event of the Recipient's death are to be paid. 11.7 An Award shall be subject to the condition that any payment thereunder is subject to any listing or registration of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, any consent or approval of any governmental body, or any other agreement or consent that the Committee determines is necessary or desirable for such payment. 11.8 The actions of the Committee (including without limitation the determination of Recipients and the terms and conditions of any Awards) need not be uniform and may be undertaken selectively whether or not the Recipients are similarly situated. 10 11.9 The existence of Awards shall not effect in any way the right or the power of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or effecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 11.10 The Plan shall be governed by and subject to all applicable laws and to the approvals by any governmental agency as may be required. 11.11 If any provision of the Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein. 11.12 In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as directors or employees of the Company or Subsidiary, the members of the Board and members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expense, including attorney's fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal thereof, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Award, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement therefor (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudicated in such action, suit or proceeding, that such member is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties; provided that within sixty (60) days after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, a member shall in writing offer the Company the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same. 12. Effective Date and Term of the Plan. ----------------------------------- The Plan shall become effective upon approval of the Plan by the Company's shareholders. No Awards shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Plan's approval by shareholders, but Awards granted prior to such date may extend beyond that date.

The capitalized terms, and the terms defined in Article 29, shall have the meanings set forth herein or therein (unless otherwise modified in the Lease) when used as capitalized terms in other provisions of the Lease. ARTICLE 2. PREMISES, TERM AND COMMENCEMENT DATE Landlord hereby leases and demises to the Tenant and Tenant hereby takes and leases from Landlord that certain space identified in Article 1 and shown on a plan attached hereto as Exhibit A ("Premises") for a term ("Term") commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date set forth in Article 1, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, subject to the provisions herein contained. Such date shall be confirmed by execution of the Commencement Date Confirmation in the form as set forth in Exhibit E. If Landlord delays delivering possession of the Premises or substantial completion of any Landlord's Work under Exhibit B, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, except as provided in Article 5. ARTICLE 3. RENT A. Monthly Rent. Tenant shall pay Monthly Rent in advance on or before the first day of each month of the Term. If the Term shall commence and end on a day other than the first day of a month, the Monthly Rent for the first and last partial month shall be prorated on a per diem basis. B. Additional Rent. All costs and expenses which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay and any other sum payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, including, without limitation, its share of Taxes and Operating Expenses, shall be deemed Additional Rent. C. Rent. Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, Taxes and Operating Expenses and any other applicable and prior identified amounts which Tenant is or becomes obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease are herein referred to collectively as "Rent", and all remedies applicable to the nonpayment of Rent shall be applicable thereto. Landlord may apply payments received from Tenant to any obligations of Tenant then accrued, without regard to such obligations as may be designated by Tenant. D. Place of Payment, Late Charge, Default Interest. Rent and other charges required to be paid under this Lease, no matter how described, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord at the Building Manager's address listed in Article 1, or to such other person and/or address as Landlord may timely designate in writing prior to the due date, without any prior notice or demand therefor and without deduction or set-off or counterclaim and without relief from any valuation or appraisement laws. In the event Tenant fails to pay Rent due under this Lease within ten (10) days of due date of said Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge of five percent (5%) on the amount overdue; provided, however, this late charge shall not be assessed if Tenant has not been in monetary default with respect 4 to any rental obligation under the Lease at any time during the immediately previous 12 month period. Any Rent not paid when due shall also bear interest at the Default Rate. ARTICLE 4. TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSES A. Payment of Taxes and Operating Expenses. It is agreed that during each Lease Year beginning with the first month of the second Lease Year and each month thereafter during the original Lease Term, or any extension thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, at the same time as the Monthly Rent is paid, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Landlord's estimate (as determined by Landlord in its sole, yet reasonable, discretion) of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of any projected increase in the Taxes or Operating Expenses for the particular Lease Year in excess of the Tax Base or Operating Expenses Base, as the case may be (the "Estimated Escalation Increase"). A final adjustment (the "Escalation Reconciliation") will be made between the parties as soon as practicable following the end of each Lease Year, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the end of each Lease Year. In computing the Estimated Escalation Increase for any particular Lease Year, Landlord shall take into account any prior increases in Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses. If during any Lease Year the Estimated Escalation Increase is less than the Estimated Escalation Increase for the previous Lease Year on which Tenant's share of Taxes and Operating Expenses were based for said year, such Additional Rent payments attributable to Estimated Escalation Increase, to be paid by Tenant for the new Lease Year shall be decreased accordingly; provided, however, in no event will the Rent paid by Tenant hereunder ever be less than the Monthly Rent plus all other amounts of Additional Rent. As soon as practicable following the end of each Lease Year (but in any event within 90 days following the end of any calendar year), Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement setting forth the Estimated Escalation Increase, if any. Upon request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable back-up materials upon which Landlord relied in calculating the Estimated Escalation Increase. Beginning with said statement for the second Lease Year, it shall also set forth the Escalation Reconciliation for the Lease Year just completed. To the extent that the Operating Expense Escalation is different from the Estimated Escalation Increase upon which Tenant paid Rent during the Lease Year just completed, Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, shall pay the difference in cash within thirty (30) days following receipt by Tenant of such statement from Landlord. Until Tenant receives such statement, Tenant's Rent for the new Lease Year shall continue to be paid at the rate being paid for the particular Lease Year just completed, but Tenant shall commence payment to Landlord of the monthly installment of Additional Rent on the basis of said statement beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which Tenant receives such statement. In addition to the above, if, during any particular Lease Year, there is a change in the information on which Landlord based the estimate upon which Tenant is then making its estimated payment of Taxes and Operating Expenses so that such Estimated Escalation Increase furnished to Tenant is no longer accurate, Landlord shall be permitted to revise such Estimated Escalation Increase by notifying Tenant, and there shall be such adjustments made in the Additional Rent on the first day of the month following the serving of such statement on Tenant as shall be necessary by either increasing or decreasing, as the case may be, the amount of Additional Rent then being paid by Tenant for the balance of the Lease Year (but in no event shall any such decrease result in a reduction of the rent below the Monthly Rent plus all other amounts of Additional Rent). Landlord's and Tenant's responsibilities with respect to the Tax and Operating Expense adjustments described herein shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Lease for a period of two (2) years. If the Building is not fully occupied during any particular Lease Year, Landlord may adjust those Operating Expenses which are affected by Building occupancy for the particular Lease Year, or portion thereof, as the case may be, to reflect an occupancy of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of all such rentable area of the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Tenant be required to pay the Tenant's portion of Operating Expenses and Taxes (excluding, however, amounts attributable to utilities, insurance and taxes) which exceed the Operating Expense Base plus 6 1/2% per year, calculated cumulatively. 5 B. Disputes Over Taxes or Operating Expenses. If Tenant disputes the amount of an adjustment or the proposed estimated increase or decrease in Taxes or Operating Expenses, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such dispute within sixty (60) days after Landlord advises Tenant of such adjustment or proposed increase or decrease. Tenant's failure to give such notice shall waive its right to dispute the amounts so determined. If Tenant timely objects, Tenant shall have the right to engage its own accountants ("Tenant's Accountants") for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the statement (and/or the back-up materials used in preparing such statement) in dispute, or the reasonableness of the adjustment or estimated increase or decrease. If Tenant's Accountants determine that an error has been made, Landlord and Tenant's Accountants shall endeavor to agree upon the matter, failing which Landlord and Tenant's Accountants shall jointly select an independent certified public accounting firm (the "Independent Accountant") which firm shall conclusively determine whether the adjustment or estimated increase or decrease is reasonable, and if not, what amount is reasonable. Both parties shall be bound by such determination. If Tenant's Accountants do not elect to participate in choosing the Independent Accountant within 20 days notice by Landlord, then Landlord's determination of the adjustment or estimated increase or decrease shall be conclusively determined to be reasonable and Tenant shall be bound thereby. All costs incurred by Tenant in obtaining Tenant's Accountants and the cost of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Tenant unless Tenant's Accountants disclose an error, acknowledged by Landlord (or found to have conclusively occurred by the Independent Accountant), of more than five percent (5%) in the computation of the total amount of Taxes or Operating Expenses as set forth in the statement submitted by Landlord with respect to the matter in dispute; in which event Landlord shall pay all of the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in obtaining such audits, including the cost of the Independent Accountant. Tenant shall continue to timely pay Landlord the amount of the prior year's adjustment and adjusted Additional Rent determined to be incorrect as aforesaid until the parties have concurred as to the appropriate adjustment or have deemed to be bound by the determination of the Independent Accountant in accordance with the preceding terms. Landlord's delay in submitting any statement contemplated herein for any Lease Year shall not affect the provisions of this Paragraph, nor constitute a waiver of Landlord's rights as set forth herein for said Lease Year or any subsequent Lease Years during the Lease Term or any extensions thereof. ARTICLE 5. LANDLORD'S WORK, TENANT'S WORK, ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS A. Landlord's Work. Landlord shall construct the Premises in accordance with Landlord's obligations as set forth in the work letter attached hereto as Exhibit B, and hereinafter referred to as "Landlord's Work." Landlord will deliver the Premises to Tenant with all of Landlord's Work completed (except for minor and non-material punch list items which in Landlord's reasonable judgment will not delay completion of Tenant's Work, as defined in subparagraph B of this Article) on or before the dates specified in Exhibit B and Tenant agrees thereupon to commence and complete Tenant's Work on or before the Commencement Date. If Landlord is delayed in completing Landlord's Work by strike, shortages of labor or materials, delivery delays or other matters beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, then Landlord shall give notice thereof to Tenant and the date on which Landlord is to turn the Premises over to Tenant for Tenant's Work and the Commencement Date shall be postponed for an equal number of days as the delay as set forth in the notice. If the Commencement Date is postponed as aforesaid, Tenant agrees upon request of Landlord to execute a writing confirming the Commencement Date on such form as set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto. B. Tenant's Work. On and after the date specified in the immediately preceding subparagraph A for delivery of the Premises to Tenant for Tenant's Work, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall perform and complete all other improvements to the Premises (as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and referred to herein as "Tenant's Work") including but not limited to, all improvements, work and requirements required of Tenant under the foregoing work letter, if any. Tenant shall complete all of Tenant's Work in good and workmanlike manner, fully paid for and free from liens, in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord and Tenant as provided in Exhibit C, on or prior to the scheduled Commencement Date. Tenant shall also have the right during this period to come onto the Premises to install its fixtures and prepare the Premises for the operation of Tenant's business. Notwithstanding the fact that foregoing activities by Tenant will occur prior to the scheduled Commencement Date, 6 Tenant agrees that all of Tenant s obligations provided for in this Lease shall apply during such period with the exception of any obligation to pay Rent.

D. Liens. Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days prior written notice (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) of the commencement of any Tenant's Work, to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording notices of non-responsibility. Except for liens which automatically attach by operation of law, Tenant will not cause or permit any mechanic's, materialman's or similar liens or encumbrances to be filed or exist against the Premises or the Building in connection with any work done under this Article. In any event, Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within a reasonable period. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may pay the amount or take such other action as Landlord deems necessary to remove any such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible to investigate the validity thereof. The amounts so paid and costs incurred by Landlord shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and payable in full upon demand. E. Compliance with ADA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that responsibility for compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA") shall be allocated as follows: (i) Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of Title III of the ADA for all Common Areas, including exterior and interior areas of the Building not included within the Premises or the premises of other tenants; (ii) Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of Title III of the ADA for any construction, renovations, alterations and repairs made within the Premises if such construction, renovations, alterations or repairs are made by Landlord at Landlord's request and sole expense for the purpose of improving the Building generally and not for tenant improvements; (iii) Tenant shall be responsible for compliance with the applicable provisions of the ADA for any construction, renovations, alterations and repairs made within the Premises if such construction, renovations, alterations and repairs are made by Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors, at Tenant's expense or at the direction of Tenant.

Tenant and its invitees shall also have the non-exclusive right, along with other tenants of the Building and others authorized by Landlord, to use the Common Areas subject to such rules and regulations as Landlord in its discretion may timely and reasonably impose from time to time. B. Restrictions.

ARTICLE 7. SERVICES A. Climate Control. Landlord shall furnish heat and air conditioning to the Premises during Normal Business Hours of Building as set forth in Article I as required in Landlord's reasonable judgment for the comfortable use and occupation of the Premises. If Tenant requires heat or air conditioning at any other time, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to furnish such service upon reasonable notice from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay all of Landlord's charges therefor on demand at Landlord's cost therefore (i.e.. with no markup or administrative fee). Tenant shall not use the Premises or any part thereof in a manner exceeding the heating, ventilating or air-conditioning ("HVAC") design conditions (including any occupancy or connected electrical load conditions), including the rearrangement of partitioning which may interfere with the normal operation of the HVAC equipment, or the use of computer or data processing machines or other machines or equipment in excess of that normally required for a standard office use of the Premises (i.e., consistent with Tenant's use of the Premises as of the date this lease is executed). If any such use requires changes in the HVAC or plumbing systems or controls servicing the Premises or portions thereof in order to provide comfortable occupancy, such changes may be made by Landlord at Tenant's expense and Tenant agrees to promptly pay any such amount to Landlord as Additional Rent. B. Elevator Service. If the Building is equipped with elevators, Landlord, during Normal Business Hours of Building, shall furnish elevator service to Tenant to be used in common with others (other than the elevator which services the 13th floor, which shall be for the exclusive use of Tenant for so long as it is the sole Tenant on the 13th floor). At least one elevator shall remain in service during all other hours. Landlord may designate a specific elevator for use as a service elevator. C. Janitorial Services. Landlord shall provide janitorial and cleaning services to the Premises, substantially as described in Exhibit D attached hereto.

Without limiting Tenant's obligations under this subparagraph, Landlord agrees to make reasonable efforts to notify Tenant in advance prior to incurring any "excess cleaning" charges. D. Water and Electricity. Landlord shall make available domestic water in reasonable quantities to the Common Areas of the Building and to the Premises and cause electric service sufficient for lighting the Premises and for the operation of Ordinary Office Equipment. "Ordinary Office Equipment" shall mean office equipment wired for 120 volt electric service and rated and using less than 6 amperes or 750 watts of electric current or other office equipment approved by Landlord in writing. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to make any replacement of lamps, fluorescent tubes and lamp ballasts in the Premises. Landlord may adopt a system of relamping and ballast replacement periodically on a group basis in accordance with good management practice. Tenant's use of electric energy in the Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the risers, piping, electrical conductors and other equipment in or serving the Premises. In order to insure that such capacity is not exceeded and to avert any possible adverse effect upon the Building's electric system, Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent in each instance, connect appliances or heavy duty equipment, other than ordinary office equipment, to the Building's electric system or make any alteration or addition to the Building's electric system. Should Landlord grant its consent in writing, all additional risers, piping and electrical conductors or other equipment therefor shall be provided by Landlord and the reasonable cost thereof shall be paid by Tenant within 30 days of Landlord's demand 8 therefor. As a condition to granting such consent, Landlord may require Tenant to agree to an increase in monthly Rent to offset the expected cost to Landlord of such additional service, that is, the cost of the additional electric energy to be made available to Tenant based upon the estimated additional capacity of such additional risers, piping and electrical conductors or other equipment. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree thereon, such cost shall be determined by an independent electrical engineer, to be selected by Landlord and paid equally by both parties. E. Separate Meters. If the Premises are separately metered for any utility, Tenant shall pay a utility charge to Landlord (or directly to the utility company, if possible) based upon the Tenant's actual consumption as measured by the meter. Landlord also reserves the right to install separate meters for the Premises to register the usage of all or any one of the utilities and in such event Tenant shall pay for the cost of utility usage as metered to the Premises and which is in excess of the usage reasonably anticipated by Landlord for normal office usage of the Premises. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of installation of meters if Tenant's actual usage exceeds the anticipated usage level by more than 10 percent. The term "utility" for purposes hereof may refer to but is not limited to electricity, gas, water, sewer, steam, fire protection system, telephone or other communication or alarm service, as well as HVAC, and all taxes or other charges thereon. F. Interruptions. Landlord does not warrant that any of the services referred to above, or any other services which Landlord may supply, will be free from interruption and Tenant acknowledges Landlord's representation that any one or more of such services may be suspended by reason of accident, repairs, inspections, alterations or improvements necessary to be made, or by strikes or lockouts, or by reason of operation of law, or causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Any interruption or discontinuance of service shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, nor render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages by abatement of the Rent or otherwise unless such interruption exceeds 10 consecutive days, nor relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall however, exercise reasonable diligence to restore any service so interrupted. This provision is not to be construed such that Landlord may knowingly and intentionally discontinue providing utility services to Tenant. G. Utilities Provided by Tenant. Tenant shall make application in Tenant's own name for all utilities not provided by Landlord to the Building or to other tenants of the Building and shall: (i) comply with all utility company regulations for such utilities, including requirements for the installation of meters, and (ii) obtain such utilities directly from, and pay for the same when due directly to, the applicable utility company. The term "utilities" for purposes hereof shall include but not be limited to electricity, gas, water, sewer, steam, fire protection, telephone and other communication and alarm services, as well as HVAC, and all taxes or other charges thereon. Tenant shall install and connect all equipment and lines required to supply such utilities to the extent not already available at or serving the Premises, or at Landlord's option shall repair, alter or replace any such existing items. Tenant shall maintain, repair and replace all such items, operate the same, and keep the same in good working order and condition. Tenant shall not install any equipment or fixtures, or use the same, so as to exceed the safe and lawful capacity of any utility equipment or lines serving the same. The installation, alteration, replacement or connection of any utility equipment and lines shall be subject to the requirements for alterations of the Premises set forth in Article 5. Tenant shall ensure that all Tenant's HVAC equipment, is installed and operated at all times in a manner to prevent roof leaks, damage, or excessive noise due to vibrations or improper installation, maintenance or operation.

Landlord and Tenant each agree that neither Landlord nor Tenant will have any claim against the other for any loss, damage or injury which is covered by insurance carried by either party and for which recovery from such insurer is made, notwithstanding the negligence of either party in causing the loss. This release shall be valid only if the insurance policy in question permits waiver of subrogation or if the insurer agrees in writing that such waiver of subrogation will not affect coverage under said policy. Each party agrees to use its best efforts to obtain such an agreement from its insurer if the policy does not expressly permit a waiver of subrogation. C. Tenant's Waiver of Claims.

B. If the Premises and other portions of the Building should be damaged by fire or other casualty such that the cost of rebuilding or repairs exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost of the entire Building, then Landlord may, within thirty (30) days after the determination of the cost of such rebuilding and repairs, terminate this Lease on written notice to Tenant and, in such event, all charges payable by Tenant hereunder shall abate as of the date of the happening of such damage. C. If the Premises should be damaged and this Lease cannot be or is not terminated by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to Paragraphs A or B above, then Landlord shall, at its sole cost and risk, proceed forthwith to rebuild or repair the Premises in compliance with all Laws to substantially the condition which existed prior to such damage, except that Tenant shall have the right to require Landlord to make changes to the Premises in the course of such restoration, subject to Landlord's reasonable approval of such changes. If the cost and expense of restoration of the Premises is increased by any change or changes made by Tenant or if Landlord is damaged by any delay caused solely by such change or changes, then Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, 11 the amount or amounts by which the cost or expense or restoration of the Premises was thereby increased and the reasonable amount by which Landlord was damaged by such delay. D. The cost of rebuilding and repair of the Premises and the Building and the number of days within which the Premises can be rebuilt or repaired shall be determined by an independent contractor mutually acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant. E. If the Premises shall be damaged so that Tenant is unable to conduct its normal business operations from the Premises for more than 7 consecutive days, then all charges payable by Tenant hereunder shall abate commencing upon the 8th day following such damage.

Providing, however that in the event this Lease is terminated, Tenant shall be entitled to make a separate claim for the taking of Tenant's personal property (including fixtures paid for by Tenant), business interruption and for costs of moving. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any condemnation award to Tenant shall be available only to the extent such award is payable separately to Tenant (and Landlord shall have no interest in any such award made to Tenant) and does not diminish the award available to Landlord or any Lender of Landlord. 12 ARTICLE 12. REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE A. Tenant's Obligations. Except to the extent that Landlord is specifically responsible therefor pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall keep the Premises in good working order, repair (and in compliance with all applicable Laws now or hereafter adopted) and condition (which condition shall be neat, clean and sanitary, and free of pests and rodents, ordinary wear and tear excepted) and shall make all necessary non-structural repairs thereto and any repairs to non-Building standard mechanical, HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems or components in or serving the Premises.

Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance is received by Landlord from Tenant. Landlord shall make every reasonable effort to perform all such repairs or maintenance in such a manner (in its reasonable judgment) so as to cause minimum interference with Tenant and the Premises but Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any interruption or loss of business pertaining to such activities; provided, however, that if Landlord fails to act in a commercially reasonable manner and Tenant is unable to conduct its normal business operations from the Premises for more than 7 consecutive days, then all charges payable by Tenant hereunder shall abate commencing upon the 8th day following such damage. Such abatement shall end on the earlier to occur of: (i) 10 days after completion of rebuilding or repair of damage and the Premises are in substantially the same condition as prior to the occurrence of the damage or (ii) the date on which Tenant's conduct of its business from the Premises is resumed. Landlord shall have the right to require that any damage caused by the willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant's agents, contractors, employees, invitees or customers, be paid for and performed by the Tenant (without limiting Landlord's other remedies herein).

Landlord shall have the right to reasonably withdraw such consent at any time and to require Tenant to remove any sign, projection, awning, signal or advertisement to be affixed to the Building or the Premises. If such work is done by Tenant through any person, firm or corporation not designated by Landlord, or without the express written consent of Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to remove such signs, projections, awnings, signals or advertisements without being liable to the Tenant by reason thereof and to charge the cost of such removal to Tenant as Additional Rent, payable within ten (10) days of Landlord's demand therefor. D. Outside Services.

INSPECTION OF PREMISES Tenant shall permit the Landlord, the Building Manager and its authorized representatives to enter the Premises to show the Premises during Normal Business Hours of Building and at other reasonable times to inspect the Premises and to make such repairs, improvements, alterations or additions in the Premises or in the Building of which they are a part as Landlord may deem necessary or appropriate. Reasonable prior written notice to Tenant is required, and Landlord, Building Manager and its authorized representatives will comply with Tenant's security procedures. ARTICLE 14. SURRENDER OF PREMISES Upon the expiration of the Term, or sooner termination of the Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises, broom clean, in good order and condition, normal wear and tear and damage by fire and other casualty excepted. All leasehold improvements and other fixtures, such as light fixtures and HVAC equipment, wall coverings, carpeting and drapes, in or serving the Premises, whether installed by Tenant or Landlord, shall be Landlord's property and shall remain, all without compensation, allowance or credit to Tenant. Any property not removed (provided that Tenant has had a reasonable opportunity to remove such property) shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and may be retained or disposed of by Landlord at Tenant's expense free of any and all claims of Tenant, as Landlord shall desire. All property not removed from the Premises by Tenant may be handled or stored by Landlord at Tenant's expense and Landlord shall not be liable for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. At Landlord's option all or part of such property may be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as if by bill of sale without payment by Landlord. ARTICLE 15. HOLDING OVER Tenant shall pay Landlord 150% of the amount of Rent then applicable prorated on a per diem basis for each day Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof after expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, together with all damages sustained by Landlord on account thereof to the extent permitted by law. The foregoing provisions shall not serve as permission for Tenant to hold-over, nor serve to extend the Term (although Tenant shall remain bound to comply with all provisions of this Lease until Tenant vacates the Premises) and Landlord shall have the right at any time thereafter to enter and possess the Premises and remove all property and persons therefrom. ARTICLE 16. SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT Except as otherwise permitted by the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, list the Premises or any part thereof as available for assignment or sublease with any broker or agent or otherwise advertise, post, communicate or solicit prospective assignees or subtenants through any direct or indirect means, nor assign this Lease or any interest thereunder, or sublet Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of Premises by any party other than Tenant. In the event that during the term of this Lease, Tenant desires to sublease and introduces Landlord to a proposed replacement tenant for Tenant, which replacement tenant has a good reputation, is of acceptable financial strength (as determined by Landlord in its discretion) and has a use for Premises and a number of employees reasonably consistent with that of Tenant's operation, the Landlord may consider such replacement tenant and notify Tenant with reasonable promptness (but in any event within 20 days) as to Landlord's choice, at Landlord's sole discretion, of the following: 14 (1) That Landlord consents to a subleasing of the Premises or assignment of the lease to such replacement tenant provided that Tenant shall remain fully liable for all of its obligations and liabilities under this Lease and provided further that Landlord shall be entitled to one-half of any profit obtained by Tenant from such subletting or assignment; or: (2) That upon such replacement tenant's entering into a mutually satisfactory new Lease for the Premises with Landlord, then Tenant shall be released from all further obligations and liabilities under this Lease (excepting only any unpaid rentals or any unperformed covenants then past due under this Lease or any guarantee by Tenant of replacement tenant's obligations); or (3) That Landlord declines to consent to such sublease or assignment due to insufficient or unsatisfactory documentation furnished to Landlord to establish tenant's reputation, financial strength and proposed use of and operations upon Premises; or (4) That Landlord elects to cancel the Lease and recapture the Premises (in the case of an assignment) or that Landlord elects to cancel the Lease as to the portion thereof that Tenant had wished to sublease. In either such event Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises, or the portion thereof which is the subject of Tenant's request on the date set forth in a notice from Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease relating to the surrender of the Premises. If this Lease shall be canceled as to a portion of the Premises only, the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be abated proportionately according to the ratio that the area of the portion of the Premises surrendered (as computed by Landlord) bears to the area of the Premises immediately prior to such surrender. If Landlord shall cancel this Lease, Landlord may relet the Premises, or the applicable portion of the Premises, to any other party (including, without limitation, the proposed assignee or subtenant of Tenant), without any liability to Tenant. In no case may Tenant assign any options to sublessee(s) or assignee(s) hereunder, all such options being deemed personal to Tenant only. Consent by Landlord hereunder shall in no way operate as a waiver by Landlord of, or to release or discharge Tenant from, any liability under this Lease or be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining Landlord's consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, transfer, use or occupancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be required with respect to (1) any assignment resulting from a consolidation, merger or purchase of substantially all of Tenant's assets; or (2) any assignment or sublease to a person (a) who wholly owns Tenant or who wholly owns the person who wholly owns Tenant (in either case, a "Parent"), or who is wholly owned by Tenant or a Parent, or is wholly owned by a person who is wholly owned by Tenant or a Parent, and (b) whose financial strength, both in terms of net worth and in terms of reasonably anticipated cash flow over the Lease term, is not materially less than Tenant's financial strength at the time this Lease was executed or at the time of such assignment or sublease, whichever is greater. With respect to any assignment or subletting to which Landlord's consent is not required, the following provisions shall apply: a. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the assignment or subletting no less than 45 days prior to the effective date thereof, which notice shall set forth the identity of the proposed transferee, the reason(s) why Landlord's consent is not required, and the nature of the proposed transferee's business to be carried on in the Premises. b. Tenant shall furnish Landlord (i) no less than 30 days prior to the effective date of the assignment or subletting, with a current financial statement of the proposed transferee reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (ii) within 5 days following Landlord's demand, with all other information reasonably requested by Landlord with respect to such transferee. Any assignment or subletting to which Landlord's consent is not required and with respect to which the provisions of this paragraph are not complied with shall, at Landlord's option, be void. 15 ARTICLE 17. SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND MORTGAGEE PROTECTION This Lease is subject and subordinate to all Mortgages now or hereafter placed upon the Building, and all other encumbrances and matters of public record applicable to the Building, including without limitation any reciprocal easement or operating agreements, covenants, conditions and restrictions and Tenant shall not knowingly act or permit the Premises to be operated in violation thereof. If any foreclosure or power of sale proceedings are initiated by any Lender or a deed in lieu is granted (or if any ground lease is terminated), Tenant agrees, upon written request of any such Lender or any purchaser at such foreclosure sale, to attorn and pay Rent to such party (provided same agrees to accept such Rent) and to execute and deliver any instruments necessary or appropriate to evidence or effectuate such attornment. In the event of attornment, no Lender shall be: (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord, or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord (prior to such Lender becoming Landlord under such attornment), (ii) liable for any security deposit or bound by any prepaid Rent not actually received by such Lender, or (iii) bound by any future modification of this Lease not consented to by such Lender. Any Lender may elect to make this Lease prior to the lien of its Mortgage, and if the Lender under any prior Mortgage shall require, this Lease shall be prior to any subordinate Mortgage; such elections shall be effective upon written notice to Tenant. Tenant agrees to give any Lender by certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of default served by Tenant upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of an assignment of leases, or otherwise) of the name and address of such Lender. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time permitted Landlord for cure under this Lease, any such Lender whose address has been so provided to Tenant shall have an additional period of thirty (30) days in which to cure (or such additional time as may be required due to causes beyond such Lender's control, including time to obtain possession of the Building by power of sale or judicial action or deed in lieu of foreclosure). The provisions of this Article shall be self-operative; however, Tenant shall execute such documentation as Landlord or any Lender may reasonable request from time to time in order to confirm the matters set forth in this Article in recordable form. Landlord represents and warrants that, as of the time of this Lease, there are no mortgages encumbering the Building. ARTICLE 18. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE Tenant shall from time to time, upon written request by Landlord or Lender, deliver to Landlord or Lender, within ten (10) days after from receipt of such request, a statement in writing certifying: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, identifying such modifications and certifying that the Lease, as modified, is in full force and effect); (ii) the dates to which the Rent has been paid; (iii) that Landlord is not in default under any provision of this Lease (or if Landlord is in default, specifying each such default); and, (iv) the address to which notices to Tenant shall be sent; it being understood that any such statement so delivered may be relied upon in connection with any lease, mortgage or transfer. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect and not modified except as Landlord may represent; (ii) not more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance; (iii) there are no defaults by Landlord; and, (iv) notices to Tenant shall be sent to Tenant's Address as set forth in Article I of this Lease. Notwithstanding the presumptions of this Article, Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligation to deliver said statement. ARTICLE 19. DEFAULTS If Tenant: (i) fails to pay when due any installment or other payment of Rent and such failure shall continue for ten days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's demand therefor, or to keep in effect any insurance required to be maintained hereunder; or (ii) intentionally vacates or abandons the Premises without the consent of Landlord, or (iii) 16 becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a voluntary bankruptcy or an involuntary petition in bankruptcy is filed against Tenant which petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of its filing, or (iv) fails to perform or observe any of the other covenants, conditions or agreements contained herein on Tenant's part to be kept or performed and such failure shall continue for 45 days after notice thereof given by or on behalf of Landlord, unless such failure will reasonably take longer than 45 days to cure and Tenant has commenced and is diligently pursuing such cure, or (v) except as permitted hereby, if the interest of Tenant shall be offered for sale or sold under execution or other legal process or if Tenant makes any transfer, assignment, conveyance, sale, pledge, disposition of all or a substantial portion of Tenant's property, then any such event or conduct shall constitute a "default" hereunder. If Tenant shall file a voluntary petition pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as the same may be from time to time be amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"), or take the benefit of any insolvency act or be dissolved, or if an involuntary petition be filed against Tenant pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and said petition is not dismissed within 60 days after such filing, or if a receiver shall be appointed for its business or its assets and the appointment of such receiver is not vacated within 60 days after such appointment, or if it shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, then Landlord shall have all of the rights provided for in the event of nonpayment of the Rent. If any alleged default on the part of the Landlord hereunder occurs, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord in the manner herein set forth and shall afford Landlord 45 days after notice thereof to cure such alleged default, unless such default will reasonably take longer than 45 days to cure and Landlord has commenced and is diligently pursuing such cure. In addition, Tenant shall send notice of such default by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to the holder of any Mortgage whose address Tenant has been notified of in writing, and shall afford such Mortgage holder a reasonable opportunity to cure any alleged default on Landlord's behalf. In no event will Landlord be responsible for any damages incurred by Tenant for lost profits or interruption of business as a result of any alleged default by Landlord hereunder. ARTICLE 20. REMEDIES OF LANDLORD The remedies provided Landlord under this Lease are cumulative. (a) Upon the occurrence of any default and following any applicable cure period, Landlord may serve notice on Tenant that the Term and the estate hereby vested in Tenant and any and all other rights of Tenant hereunder shall cease on the date specified in such notice and on the specified date this Lease shall cease and expire as fully and with the effect as if the Term had expired for passage of time. (b) Without terminating this Lease in case of a default or if this Lease shall be terminated for default as provided herein, Landlord may re-enter the Premises, remove Tenant, or cause Tenant to be removed from the Premises in such manner as Landlord may reasonably deem advisable, with or without legal process, and using such reasonable force as may be necessary. In the event of re-entry without terminating this Lease, Tenant shall continue to be liable for all Rents and other charges accruing or coming due under this Lease. (c) If Landlord, without terminating this Lease, shall re-enter the Premises or if this Lease shall be terminated as provided in paragraph (a) above: (i) All Rent due from Tenant to Landlord shall thereupon become due and shall be paid up to the time of re-entry, dispossession or expiration, together with reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney's fees) of Landlord; (ii) Landlord, without any obligation to do so, may relet the Premises or any part thereof for a term or terms which may at Landlord's option be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant such concessions in reletting as Landlord, in the exercise of its reasonable 17 business judgment, deems desirable. In connection with such reletting, Tenant shall be liable for all costs of the reletting including, without limitation, rent concessions, leasing commissions legal fees and alteration and remodeling costs; and (iii) If Landlord shall have terminated this Lease, Tenant shall also be liable to Landlord for all damages provided for in law and awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction resulting from Tenant's breach including, without limitation, the difference between the aggregate rentals reserved under the terms of this Lease for the balance of the Term together with all other sums payable hereunder as Rent for the balance of the Term, less the fair rental value of the Premises for that period determined as of the date of such termination. For purposes of this paragraph. Tenant shall be deemed to include any guarantor or surety of the Lease. (d) In addition to the above, except as otherwise specified in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall have any and all other rights provided under law or equity for breach of a lease or tenancy and all remedies and rights existing in law or in equity are cumulative. ARTICLE 21. QUIET ENJOYMENT Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that so long as Tenant pays the Rent and observes and performs all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and Tenant's possession will not be disturbed by anyone claiming by, through, or under Landlord. ARTICLE 22. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of an amount less than full payment of Rent then due and payable shall be deemed to be other than on account of the Rent then due and payable, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided for in this Lease or available at law or in equity. ARTICLE 23. SECURITY DEPOSIT Not applicable. ARTICLE 24. BROKERAGE COMMISSION Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant to each other that neither has dealt with any broker, finder or agent except for the Broker(s) identified in Article 1.

Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, suits, or judgments (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs incurred in connection with any such claims, suits, or judgments, or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnity) for any fees, commissions, or compensation of any kind which arise out of or are in any way connected with any claimed agency relationship not referenced in 18 Article 1. ARTICLE 25. FORCE MAJEURE Landlord shall be excused for the period of any delay in the performance of any obligation hereunder when prevented from so doing by a cause or causes beyond its control, including all labor disputes, civil commotion, war, war-like operations, invasion, rebellion, hostilities, military or usurped power, sabotage, governmental regulations or controls, fire or other casualty, inability to obtain any material, services or financing, or through acts of God. Tenant shall similarly be excused for delay in the performance of any obligation hereunder; provided: (a) nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to excuse or permit any delay in the payment of the Rent, or any delay in the cure of any default which may be cured by the payment of money; and (b) no reliance by Tenant upon this Section shall limit or restrict in any way Landlord's right of self-help as provided in this Lease.

Landlord, at its sole election, may designate the types and locations of parking spaces within the parking facilities which Tenant shall be allowed to use. Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's sole election, to change said types and locations from time to time; provided, however, such designation shall be uniformly applied and shall not unfairly favor any tenant in the Building. (b) Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Parking Fee, if any, shown in Article 1, as Additional Rent, payable monthly in advance with the Monthly Rent. If there is a Parking Fee shown in Article 1, then thereafter, and throughout the Term, the parking rate for each type of parking space provided to Tenant hereunder shall be the prevailing parking rate, as Landlord may designate from time to time, at Landlord's sole election, for each such type of parking space. In addition to the right reserved hereunder by Landlord to designate the parking rate from time to time, Landlord shall have the right to change the parking rate at any time to include therein any amounts levied, assessed, imposed or required to be paid to any governmental authority on account of the parking of motor vehicles, including all sums required to be paid pursuant to transportation controls imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended, or otherwise required to be paid by any governmental authority with respect to the parking, use, or transportation of motor vehicles, or the reduction or control of motor vehicle traffic, or motor vehicle pollution.

If Landlord institutes such an identification procedure, Landlord may provide additional parking spaces for use by customers and invitees of Tenant on a daily basis at prevailing parking rates, if any. At Landlord's sole election, Landlord may make validation stickers available to Tenant for any such additional parking spaces, provided, however, if Landlord makes validation stickers available to any other tenant in the Building, Landlord shall make such validation stickers available to Tenant. (d) The parking facilities provided for herein are provided solely for the accommodation of Tenant and Landlord assumes no responsibility or liability of any kind whatsoever from whatever cause with respect to the automobile parking areas, including adjoining streets, sidewalks, driveways, property and passageways, or the use thereof by Tenant or tenant's employees, customers, agents, contractors or invitees. 19 ARTICLE 27.

ARTICLE VII COVENANT NOT TO DISCLOSE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION ------------------------------------------------ 7.01. Employee recognizes that Employer is engaged in a continuous program of development and production relating to its business, present and future, including fields generally related to the business of Employer, and that Employer possesses and will continue to possess information that has been created, discovered, developed or otherwise become known to Employer -12- (including, without limitation, information created by, discovered or developed by, or made known to, Employee during the period of or arising out of employment by Employer) and/or in which property rights have been assigned or otherwise conveyed to Employer, which information has commercial value in the business in which Employer is engaged (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Proprietary Information"). Proprietary Information includes, without limitation, algorithms, flow charts, trade secrets, processes, computer software, inventions, improvements, techniques, data, know-how, proposals, writings, marketing plans, strategies, forecasts, patentable material, material registrable under copyright or similar statutes, client and customer lists and information, and any information applicable to the business of Employer or applicable to the business of any client or customer of Employer which may be made known to Employee by Employer or by any client or customer of Employer, or learned by Employee during the term of this Agreement. 7.02.

In consideration of Employee's employment by Employer and the compensation received by Employee from Employer from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, as provided in Sections 6.01 and 6.02, respectively, Employee hereby agrees as follows: (a) Employee acknowledges that all Proprietary Information is the confidential and exclusive property of Employer that will not be converted or disclosed to anyone for any purpose whatsoever except to employees of Employer in furtherance of Employer's business. Employee will not at any time, whether -13- during or after the termination of his employment, disclose to any person or entity any of the Proprietary Information of Employer and Employee will not or permit any person or entity to examine and/or make copies of any documents which contain or are derived from any Proprietary Information, whether prepared by Employee or otherwise coming into Employee's possession or control, without the prior written consent of Employer. Employee will not make any use of Proprietary Information except in the discharge of Employee's duties as an employee of Employer; (b) All documents, records, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to the Proprietary Information, furnished to Employee by Employer or produced by Employee or others in connection with employment shall be and remain the sole property of Employer and shall be returned to Employer immediately as and when requested by Employer. Even if Employer does not so request, Employee shall return and deliver all such property to Employer upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, and Employee will not take with him any such property or any reproduction of such property upon such termination or expiration. Employee shall treat all such property in accordance with policies established by Employer from time to time; (c) Employee will promptly disclose to Employer or any persons designated by it, all improvements, formulas, ideas, processes, techniques, know-how, data, computer software, documentation, proposals, writings, whether or not -14- patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes or subject to analogous protection, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by Employee, either alone or jointly with others, during the term of employment (all such improvements, formulas, ideas, processes, techniques, know-how, data, computer software, documentation, proposals and writings are hereinafter collectively referred to as "Developments" and individually as a "Development"); (d) Employee agrees that all Developments which Employee develops (in whole or in part), either alone or jointly with others, and (i) uses equipment, supplies, facilities or Proprietary Information of Employer, or (ii) uses the hours for which Employee is to be compensated by Employer, or (iii) which relate to the business of Employer or to its actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (iv) which result, in whole or in part, from work performed by Employee for Employer, shall immediately become the sole and absolute property of Employer and its assigns, and Employee hereby assigns any rights Employee may have or acquire in the Developments and benefits and/or rights resulting therefrom to Employer and its assigns without further compensation and Employee agrees to communicate, without cost or delay, and without publishing the same, all available information relating thereto (with necessary plans and models) to Employer. Upon disclosure of each Development to Employer, Employee will, during the term of this Agreement and at any time thereafter, at the request and cost of Employer, sign, execute, make and do all -15- such deeds, documents, acts and things as Employer and its duly authorized agents may require: (i) to apply for, obtain and vest in the name of Employer alone (unless Employer otherwise directs) letters patent, copyrights or other analogous protection in any country throughout the world and when so obtained or vested to renew and restore the same; and (ii) to defend any opposition proceedings in respect of such applications and any opposition proceedings or petitions or applications for revocation of letters patent, copyright or analogous protection; and (e) In the event that Employer is unable, for any reason whatsoever, to secure Employee's signature on any letters patent, copyright or analogous protection relating to any Development (including applications, renewals, extensions, continuations and divisions), Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Employer and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee's agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in behalf of and stead to execute and file any such application (or otherwise) and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent, copyright or other analogous protection thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. -16- ARTICLE VIII COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE ----------------------- 8.01 Employee understands and agrees that much of Employer's success, on an international level, has been due to its ability to create, commercially exploit and maintain the secrecy of significant trade secrets, proprietary and confidential information, all of which are recognized as and agreed to be valuable assets of Employer. It is further recognized that Employer's continued success and competitive advantage in the marketplace is dependent upon its ability to prohibit access to any and all of these valuable assets, both as they currently exist and as they are subsequently expanded, added to, varied and/or modified, by any person not in the employ of Employer. Accordingly, in consideration of Employee's employment by Employer and the compensation received pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, as provided in Sections 6.01 and 6.02, respectively, Employee hereby agrees to the following: (a) During the term of Employee's employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination of employment for any reason, Employee shall not become, directly or indirectly, involved, whether alone or as a partner, joint venturer, franchisee, franchisor, officer, director, employee, independent contractor, employer, agent, shareholder or other owner of greater than one percent (1%) in any of the competitors of Employer named on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof. --------- (b) During the term of employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination of Employee's employment for any reason, -17- Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce or attempt to solicit or induce, any employee, consultant or independent contractor of Employer or Virtual Megalab to leave Employer or Virtual Megalab for any reason whatsoever or hire any employee, consultant or independent contractor of Employer or Virtual Megalab. (c) During the term of employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination of Employee's employment for any reason, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit the trade of or trade with, or otherwise do business with any client or customer of Employer or Virtual Megalab so as to offer or sell any product or services which would be competitive with any products or services sold by Employer or Virtual Megalab during the term of this Agreement or any products or services which Employee knows are being developed by Employer or Virtual Megalab during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.01(c) shall not apply to consulting services provided directly to such clients or customers of Employer or Virtual Megalab. (d) During the term of employment hereunder, Employee shall not take any action which might divert from Employer or Virtual Megalab any opportunity which would be within the scope of any present or contemplated future business of Employer or Virtual Megalab. -18- ARTICLE IX PRIOR EMPLOYMENT, INVENTIONS ---------------------------- 9.01 Employee represents that his performance of all of the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of Employer does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by Employee in confidence or trust prior to employment by Employer. Employee has not entered into, and agrees that he will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith. 9.02 As a matter of record, Employee attaches hereto as Exhibit D a --------- complete list of all inventions, improvements and developments relevant to the subject matter of his employment by Employer which have been made or conceived or first reduced to practice by him, alone or jointly with others, prior to the effective date of this Agreement, that Employee desires to remove from the operation of this Agreement and Employee represents that such list is complete. If no such list is attached to this Agreement, Employee represents that he has no such inventions, improvements and developments that he desires to remove from the operation of this Agreement. ARTICLE X CONSIDERATION FOR RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS --------------------------------------- 10.01(a) The primary intent of Employer throughout this Agreement, and with particular emphasis on Article VIII hereof, is to secure from Employee his Covenant Not To Compete against Employer by becoming directly or indirectly involved with competitors. The parties agree that the payments to be made by Employer to Employee and the restrictions upon Employee's -19- activities, in the event of the occurrence of any of the stated circumstances, are fair, reasonable and will not be onerous or unduly burdensome to Employee. Employee further agrees that the compensation provided for in the Agreement and the potential Bonus adequately compensates Employee for his agreement to enter into the restrictive covenants and acknowledges that his experience and capabilities are such that the provisions of this Agreement will not prevent him from earning a livelihood, particularly with respect to potential employers which are not listed on Exhibit C. --------- (b) It is understood and agreed that an actual or threatened breach by Employee of any of the provisions of Articles VII or VIII hereof may immediately result in a significant and substantial impairment of Employer's competitive advantage and position in the marketplace, which may or could threaten the continued viability and/or success of Employer. It is further agreed that Employer may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of a reasonably perceived actual or threatened breach of any provisions of Article VII or VIII, Employee acknowledges and agrees that a breach of this Agreement by him will cause irreparable damage to Employer. In the event of such breach, Employer shall be entitled to, in addition to any and all remedies at law, an injunction restraining Employee from violating any of said provisions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent the violation of Employee's obligations hereunder. These remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy available to Employer. -20- (c) It is further understood and agreed that for purposes of interpreting any of the provisions of Articles VII of VIII, the term "Employer" shall include any successor, assign, subsidiary or division of Employer.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview Sunquest Information Systems, Inc. (the "Company") designs, develops, markets, installs and supports health care information systems for large and mid-sized hospitals, clinics and other facilities, including integrated delivery networks ("IDNs"). The Company was established in 1979 and became public on June 10, 1996, when it closed its initial public offering of Common Stock. A total of 3,450,000 shares were sold at a price of $16 per share, with net proceeds to the Company of $50.1 million, after deducting offering expenses. In connection with the public offering, the Company's status as an S corporation terminated and the Company became subject to federal and all applicable state income taxes. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. On November 26, 1996, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Antrim Corporation ("Antrim") from Antrim's parent corporation, The Compucare Company, for $5.0 million in cash in a transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company charged operations $3.3 million for acquired, in-process technology, which reduced pro forma net income per share for the year ended December 31, 1996 by $.23. The results of operations of Antrim have been included in the Company's financial statements since the date of acquisition. Established in 1982, Antrim is a leading provider of laboratory information systems for commercial and medical reference laboratories with 235 client sites installed at December 31, 1996. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31, 1996, the Company had an installed customer base of more than 950 sites in the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. Total revenues are derived from the licensing of software, the provision of value added services and the sale of related hardware. To date, substantially all of the Company's revenues have been derived from the sale of its laboratory information systems ("LISs") and related hardware, support and services. Revenues from system sales include revenues from software licenses, related hardware, relicensed software and resold software. Revenues from software licenses are generated from contracts that grant the right to use the Company's software products. Hardware revenues are generated from sales of third-party manufactured hardware which is typically sold in conjunction with the Company's software. Revenues from relicensed software and resold software are generated from the Company's licensing and sale of third-party software. Support and service revenues include revenues from installation, training and documentation related to software license revenues, miscellaneous consulting revenues and revenues associated with maintenance and support services. 2 The sales cycle for the Company's clinical, repository and managed care systems is typically nine to 18 months from initial contact to contract execution, and depending upon the combination of products purchased and the client's installation schedule, an installation typically takes from eight to 12 months. The sales cycle for the Company's commercial and medical reference laboratory systems is typically six to 12 months, and an installation typically takes from nine to 12 months. Revenues from the software portion of system sales are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with Statement of Position 91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition," based upon completion of specified milestones. Anticipated losses are recorded in the earliest period in which such losses become evident. Revenues from the hardware portion of systems sales are recognized upon shipment. Maintenance and support services are provided under multi-year renewable agreements with revenues recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Fees for other services are recognized as the work is performed or on a percentage-of-completion basis. At December 31, 1996, the Company had a total contract backlog of $87.3 million, which consisted of $41.9 million of system sales and $45.4 million of support and service. At December 31, 1995, total contract backlog was $62.7 million, which consisted of $33.7 million of system sales and $29.0 million of support and service. System sales backlog consists of the unearned amounts of signed contracts which have not yet been recognized as revenues. Support and service backlog consists primarily of contracted software support for a period of 12 months. The Company is unable to predict accurately the amount of backlog it expects to fill in any particular period, since it adjusts the timing of installations to accommodate clients' needs and since installations typically require eight to 12 months to complete. Capitalized software development costs are stated at the lower of net amortized cost or net realizable value. The Company capitalizes software development costs incurred from the point of technological feasibility until the product is ready for general release to the public. Amortization of capitalized software costs begins when the related product is available for general release to customers and is provided for each product based on the greater of the relationship of current year revenues of the product to anticipated total revenues or the straight-line amortization of such costs over a five-year period. 3 Results of Operations The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain items from the Company's consolidated statements of income expressed as a percentage of total revenues.

4 Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 Revenues. The Company's total revenues were $81.0 million in 1996 compared to $61.5 million in 1995, an increase of $19.5 million, or 31.6%. Revenues from system sales were $45.1 million in 1996 compared to $32.3 million in 1995, an increase of $12.8 million, or 39.7%. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in installations of hardware and software for existing and new customers. Revenues from support and service were $35.9 million in 1996 compared to $29.3 million in 1995, an increase of $6.7 million, or 22.8%. This increase was primarily attributable to the growth in the Company's installed customer base. Total revenues for Antrim, subsequent to the date of acquisition, were $2.2 million. Revenues from Antrim's systems sales were $718,000 and revenues from support and service were $1.4 million. Cost of System Sales. Cost of system sales includes the costs of computer hardware, relicensed software and resold software purchased from third parties and amortization of previously capitalized software development costs. Cost of system sales was $20.1 million in 1996 compared to $14.1 million in 1995, an increase of $6.0 million, or 42.4%. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in hardware and operating system deliveries. Amortization of previously capitalized software development costs was $2.2 million for 1996 compared to $1.7 million for 1995, an increase of $460,000, or 26.6%. Client Services. Client services expenses include salaries and expenses of product installation and support. Client services expenses were $18.4 million in 1996 compared to $17.8 million in 1995, an increase of $637,000, or 3.6%. As a percentage of total revenues, client services expenses were 22.7% in 1996 compared to 28.8% in 1995. This dollar increase in client services expenses was primarily attributable to the addition of Antrim in the fourth quarter. Research and Development. Research and development expenses include salaries and expenses related to development and documentation of software systems reduced by capitalized software development costs. Research and development expenses were $10.0 million in 1996 compared to $9.0 million in 1995, an increase of $948,000, or 10.5%. As a percentage of total revenues, research and development expenses were 12.3% in 1996 compared to 14.7% in 1995. This dollar increase in research and development expenses was attributable to enhancements to the managed care system, development of a clinical documentation system and the addition of Antrim in the fourth quarter. The Company capitalized $2.8 million of its software development costs in both years. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, commissions, advertising, trade show costs, and user group costs related to the sale and marketing of the Company's systems. Sales and marketing expenses were $10.9 million in 1996 compared to $8.7 million in 1995, an increase of $2.2 million, or 24.8%. This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales and marketing staff, increased commissions resulting from a 20.0% growth in sales bookings in 1996, increased customer promotional allowances and the addition of Antrim. 5 General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses include salaries and expenses for the corporate administration, finance, legal, human resources, corporate education, facilities administration and internal purchasing departments as well as depreciation, profit sharing, bonuses, insurance and capital lease amortization net of rental credit. General and administrative expenses were $9.8 million in 1996 compared to $7.1 million in 1995, an increase of $2.7 million, or 38.1%. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses were 12.0% in 1996 compared to 11.5% in 1995. This dollar increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increased compensation and employee benefits resulting from increased levels of operating income, accruals for sales tax liabilities, depreciation, the addition of Antrim, increased professional services costs related to the Company's public status and non-recurring expenses related to the implementation of the Company's new financial systems. Write-off of Acquired, In-Process Technology. As a result of the Antrim acquisition on November 26, 1996, the Company charged operations $3.3 million for acquired, in-process technology. Income Taxes. Income taxes were $3.9 million in 1996 compared to $73,000 in 1995, an increase of $3.8 million. This increase was attributable to the termination of the Company's S corporation status on May 30, 1996. From January 1, 1990 through May 29, 1996, the Company was treated for federal and certain state income tax purposes as an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state statutes. This change in tax status resulted in the Company recording an additional $1.1 million tax provision for deferred taxes associated with previously untaxed temporary differences during the second quarter ended June 30, 1996. At December 31, 1996, the Company had net operating losses of approximately $5.3 million that were generated by Antrim. Of this amount, approximately $860,000 can be carried back to Antrim's separate company tax return for 1994. The remaining balance can be carried forward and used to offset Antrim's future taxable income. This loss carryforward is subject to limitations as to the amount and timing of its use. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $950,000 has been provided. The minimum amount of future taxable income that would have to be generated by Antrim to realize the deferred tax asset net of the valuation allowance would be approximately $2.7 million. The Company anticipates that future taxable income will be sufficient to realize the net operating loss carryforward. See Note 1 and Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 Revenues. The Company's total revenues were $61.5 million in 1995 compared to $62.6 million in 1994, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 1.7%. Revenues from system sales were $32.3 million in 1995 compared to $38.4 million in 1994, a decrease of $6.1 million, or 16.0%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in installations of LISs, reflecting a lower level of system bookings in 1994 due to weaker industry-wide demand and longer sales cycles for LISs, changes in the Company's management and actions taken by the Company to refocus its sales and marketing efforts in response to changing hospital purchasing patterns. This decrease also reflected a shift in the Company's resources in 1995 toward the completion of a major release of 6 its LIS and toward the installation of a clinical repository system at the Company's primary beta site. Revenues from support and service were $29.3 million in 1995 compared to $24.2 million in 1994, an increase of $5.1 million, or 20.9%. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in the Company's installed customer base. Approximately $673,000 of additional support and service revenues were attributable to support of the Tandem systems of Ameritech Knowledge Data, Inc. ("Ameritech"), pursuant to an agreement under which the Company assumed responsibility for supporting the Ameritech Tandem systems in return for the revenue from maintenance agreements in effect and the opportunity to transition Ameritech's clients to Sunquest systems. This agreement expired in December 1995 except with respect to one Ameritech client site. Cost of System Sales. Cost of system sales was $14.1 million in 1995 compared to $16.7 million in 1994, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 15.7%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a lower level of system installations in 1995. Amortization of previously capitalized software development costs was $1.7 million for 1995 compared to $1.8 million for 1994, a decrease of $34,000, or 1.9%. Client Services. Client services expenses were $17.8 million in 1995 compared to $17.1 million in 1994, an increase of $648,000, or 3.8%. As a percentage of total revenues, client services expenses were 28.8% in 1995 compared to 27.3% in 1994. This dollar increase in client services expenses was primarily attributable to additional staff dedicated to the support of the Ameritech Tandem systems and to the installation of the Company's new clinical repository systems at the Company's primary beta site. Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $9.0 million in 1995 compared to $7.7 million in 1994, an increase of $1.3 million, or 16.9%. As a percentage of total revenues, research and development expenses were 14.7% in 1995 compared to 12.4% in 1994. This dollar increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to the Company's strategic decisions to accelerate the completion of a new release of its LIS to December 1995, to complete quality control testing of its clinical repository systems and to begin enhancements to its managed care systems. The Company capitalized $2.8 million of its software development costs in 1995 compared to $2.0 million in 1994. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $8.7 million in 1995 compared to $7.0 million in 1994, an increase of $1.8 million, or 25.5%. This increase was primarily attributable to increased commissions resulting from a 27.5% growth in sales bookings in 1995, increased sales efforts in the United Kingdom and Germany, the addition of personnel dedicated to establishing sales opportunities in new distribution channels, the addition of technical product demonstrators and additional advertising and mail campaigns promoting the Company's new systems. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $7.1 million in 1995 compared to $6.8 million in 1994, an increase of $221,000, or 3.2%. This increase was primarily attributable to the full year impact of additional staff hired in 1994, certain professional fees related to preparing the Company for a public offering and increased communication and maintenance expenses. 7 Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash provided by operating activities was $6.6 million, $5.4 million and $11.4 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had billed trade receivables of $28.5 million. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that it believes is adequate to cover any potential credit losses. The average collection period on trade receivables was 77 days at December 31, 1996 and 63 days at December 31, 1995. The increase in average collection period is related to the larger volume of customer contracts which require additional management attention to accelerate collections. This increase is considered to be temporary and is expected to improve prospectively through increased collection efforts. Cash used in investing activities was $7.7 million, $4.5 million and $7.6 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. As part of the initial public offering in 1996, cash of $3.2 million was received in payment of notes receivable from a related party. The notes were related to the purchases by the related party of office complexes in 1991 and 1994 which were subsequently leased to the Company. On November 26, 1996, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Antrim from The Compucare Company for $5.0 million in a transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Approximately $3.3 million of in- process technology acquired from Antrim was charged to operations in 1996. Management estimates that approximately $750,000 will be spent in 1997 to bring the in-process technology purchased from Antrim to market. Capitalized software development costs were $2.8 million, $2.8 million and $2.0 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The remainder of cash used in investing activities in each period was for purchases of property and equipment, consisting primarily of computers and computer-related equipment and leasehold improvements. The purchases of property and equipment totaled $3.7 million, $2.7 million and $2.4 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. At December 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalents were $31.9 million, an increase of $31.6 million from December 31, 1995. The majority of this increase was due to the Company's initial public offering of Common Stock which was completed in June 1996. Proceeds from the offering, net of related costs, were $50.1 million partially offset by S corporation distributions of $15.0 million to the Company's shareholders for the "First S Corporation Distribution" and for shareholders' tax liabilities associated with the Company's taxable earnings. The Company expects to pay the "Second S Corporation Distribution," estimated to be $3.9 million, on May 15, 1997 from internally generated funds. The estimated amount of the "Second S Corporation Distribution" was revised from the previously reported estimate of $2.3 million based on the Company's actual undistributed cumulative S corporation taxable earnings from January 1, 1996 through May 29, 1996. In addition, during 1996, 8,587 shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued for approximately $120,000 in connection with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. At December 31, 1996, working capital was $39.1 million. At that date, the Company had no long-term debt and did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures. 8 At December 31, 1996, the Company had a revolving line of credit with a bank allowing the Company to borrow up to $10.0 million. Any borrowings under the line of credit will bear interest at the bank reference rate unless the Company elects a fixed rate or certain variable rates contemplated by the agreement. All outstanding principal and interest under the line of credit is due September 30, 1997 except for any amounts outstanding under stand-by letters of credit which have a maximum maturity of 365 days. Borrowings under the line of credit are secured by all of the Company's assets. Approximately $204,000 of the line of credit is used to secure letters of credit and is not available for immediate expenditure. There were no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1996. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. On February 7, 1997, the Company entered into a Value Added Reseller agreement with Dynamic Healthcare Technologies, Inc. ("Dynamic"). The agreement grants the Company a non-exclusive license to modify, interface, market, sublicense, support and otherwise use the Dynamic software program known as CoPath Client/Server ("CoPath") which is a computer clinical information system useful in surgical pathology, cytology and autopsy. In consideration of the Company's payment to Dynamic of $3.0 million in the aggregate as described below, the agreement gives the Company the right to sublicense CoPath to all of the customers of the Company who exist as of February 7, 1997, except those existing Dynamic customers listed in the agreement. The Company may also sublicense CoPath to new customers for an additional fee payable to Dynamic. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, the Company made a $1.0 million cash payment with the remaining balance of $2.0 million anticipated to be paid over the next two years. On February 21, 1997, the Company purchased land and a building in Tucson, Arizona, for cash in the amount of $1.8 million. The Company anticipates the facility will be used for customer-related activities. The Company expects that continued expenditures of funds will be necessary to support its future growth and that existing cash and cash equivalents together with funds generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital requirements over the next 12 months. In the longer term, the Company may require additional sources of liquidity to fund future growth. Such sources may include additional equity offerings or debt financings. The Company continues to be actively involved in identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions. To date, inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's revenues or income, and the Company does not expect inflation to have a material impact in the foreseeable future. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). SFAS No. 123 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans and for transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from non-employees. The new accounting standards prescribed by SFAS No. 123 are optional, and the Company is permitted to account for its stock incentive and stock purchase plans under previously issued accounting standards. The Company has elected to continue to measure compensation cost under Accounting Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." In addition, the Company has complied with the pro forma 9 requirements of SFAS No. 123 in the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for those companies which choose not to account for the effects of stock based compensation in the financial statements under SFAS No. 123. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 10 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS To the Board of Directors and Shareholders Sunquest Information Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sunquest Information Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996.

See accompanying notes. 15 SUNQUEST INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1996 1. Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business Sunquest Information Systems, Inc. (the Company) designs, develops, markets, installs and supports health care information systems for large and mid-sized hospitals, clinics and other health care facilities in the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. Total revenues are derived from the licensing of software, the provision of value added services and the sale of related hardware. Principles of Consolidation Effective with the initial public offering (Note 2), the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Sunquest Europa Limited (Sunquest Europa) and Sunquest Germany GmbH (Sunquest Germany). Antrim Corporation (Antrim) was acquired on November 26, 1996. All transactions between the Company and Sunquest Europa, Sunquest Germany and Antrim have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Prior to the initial public offering, the financial statements of the Company, Sunquest Europa and Sunquest Germany were combined for presentation purposes because these entities were under common control. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition Revenues for the proprietary software, training and installation portion of system sales are recognized using a percentage-of-completion method based on the achievement of specified milestones (which are determined based upon actual hours incurred related to total estimated installation hours) in accordance with Statement of Position No. 91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition." Anticipated losses are recorded in the earliest period in which such losses become evident. Revenues for the hardware portion of system sales are recognized upon shipment. Support and maintenance fees are recognized ratably over the contract period as the related costs are incurred. Revenues for other services are recognized as the services are rendered. 16 Customer payment terms vary and are typically different from the revenues recognized. Revenues recognized in advance of billings are classified with current assets as unbilled receivables and are included in the balance sheet as receivables. Billings recognized in advance of revenues are classified with current liabilities as deferred revenue. Software Development Costs Software development costs incurred internally are expensed as research and development until the technological feasibility of the newly designed product is established. Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized until the product is ready for general release to the public. Capitalized software development costs are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value relating to a particular software product is assessed based on anticipated gross margins applicable to sales of the product in future periods. Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when the related product is available for general release to clients and is provided for each product based on the greater of the relationship of current year revenues of the product to anticipated total revenues or the straight-line amortization of such costs over a five-year period. Historically, the straight- line approach has produced the greater amortization amount. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Inventory Inventory consists primarily of computer hardware held for resale and is recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of three or five years for equipment and software and five or seven years for furniture and fixtures. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease, whichever is less. Income Taxes The Company elected on January 1, 1990 to be taxed under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and was treated as an S corporation in most of the states where business was conducted. As an S corporation, the Company's shareholders were responsible for any federal and state income taxes resulting from the Company's taxable income. Accordingly, the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the 1996 financial statements prior to the initial public offering effective date do not include 17 a provision for federal or certain state income taxes. The unaudited pro forma income tax provision for 1996, 1995 and 1994 represents federal and the additional state income tax expense that would have been required had the Company not made the S corporation election. The S corporation election was terminated on May 30, 1996. This change in tax status, which transpired just prior to the initial public offering of the Company's stock in the second quarter of 1996, resulted in the Company recording a $1,122,000 tax provision for deferred taxes associated with previously untaxed temporary differences. The provisions for income taxes subsequent to the change in corporate tax status are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Intangibles Certain intangible assets were acquired in connection with the Antrim acquisition. These assets include in-process technology, assembled work force, trademark and trade names and customer-related intangibles. The in-process technology acquired of $3,252,000 was charged to operations in 1996 as the underlying products had not reached technological feasibility. The remaining intangible assets are being amortized over their remaining useful lives of five and seven years. Amortization expense related to these intangibles was $29,000 in 1996. The carrying values of intangibles will be reviewed if facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards During the first quarter of 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long- Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." The adoption of this Statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123). SFAS No. 123 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans and for transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from non-employees. The new accounting standards prescribed by SFAS No. 123 are optional, and the Company is permitted to account for its stock incentive and stock purchase plans under previously issued accounting standards. The Company has elected to continue to measure compensation cost under Accounting Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 18 2. Initial Public Offering On June 10, 1996, the Company completed its initial offering of stock to the public. A total of 3,450,000 shares of Common Stock were sold for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $50,146,000, after deducting expenses of the offering of approximately $1,190,000 and underwriters' discounts and commissions of approximately $3,864,000. Prior to May 30, 1996, the Company was taxed as an S corporation. During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company declared and paid to shareholders of record as of April 30, 1996, the "First S Corporation Distribution" of $14,500,000, which was estimated to be equal to the Company's undistributed cumulative S corporation taxable earnings from January 1, 1990 through December 31, 1995. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company also made distributions of $531,000 to shareholders related to the shareholders' tax liabilities on S corporation taxable earnings. In April 1996, the Company declared, payable to shareholders of record as of April 30, 1996, the "Second S Corporation Distribution," estimated to be $3,900,000, equal to the Company's undistributed cumulative S corporation taxable earnings from January 1, 1996 through May 29, 1996. The Company expects to pay the "Second S Corporation Distribution" in full on May 15, 1997. 3. Unaudited Pro Forma Information Pro Forma Net Income The unaudited pro forma net income for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, has been computed as if the Company had been subject to federal and all applicable state income taxes based on an estimated tax rate of 43%. Pro Forma Net Income Per Common Share The pro forma net income per common share presented in the accompanying statements of income has been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, that were granted during 1996. These options were not dilutive for the year ended December 31, 1996. Supplemental Pro Forma Net Income Per Common Share Supplemental pro forma net income per common share amounts have been computed giving effect to the assumed issuance, as of the beginning of the periods presented, of the number of common shares necessary to replace the equity distributed as a result of the "First S Corporation Distribution" of $14,500,000 from the proceeds of the initial public offering and were $.32, $.17 and $.28 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 19 4. Acquisition On November 26, 1996, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Antrim from Antrim's parent corporation, The Compucare Company. Antrim is a leading provider of laboratory information systems for commercial and medical reference laboratories. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and the results of operations of Antrim have been included in the Company's financial statements since the date of acquisition. Total consideration for this acquisition consisted of $5,000,000 in cash. The purchase price of Antrim has been allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The acquired, in-process technology was immediately charged to operations as required under generally accepted accounting principles. The intangible assets have estimated remaining lives of four to seven years. The allocation of the purchase price is based upon the most current information available. This allocation may be adjusted prospectively as information becomes available.
(in thousands) Current and tangible assets $ 6,475 Developed technology 2,560 In-process technology 3,252 Assembled work force 416 Trademarks and trade names 647 Customer-related intangibles 673 Deferred tax asset 2,700 Liabilities assumed (7,677) Transition costs (3,557) Deferred tax liability (489) ---------- $ 5,000 ==========
Transition costs include $2,603,000 associated with the replacement of an Antrim software product with a similar Sunquest product. Approximately $2,157,000 of the total transition costs of $3,557,000 are expected to be incurred within the next year and have been included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet. The long-term portion is included in transition costs. 20 The following unaudited pro forma data presents the results of operations as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of each period. This summary is provided for information purposes only and does not necessarily reflect the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of those dates or of results that may occur in the future.

Included in receivables at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are amounts due from foreign health care providers of approximately $652,000 and $951,000, respectively. Total revenues include foreign sales revenues of $1,049,000 and $1,526,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Credit is extended on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and generally collateral is not required. The provision for bad debt expense recognized in 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $506,000, $495,000 and $374,000, respectively. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, $185,000, $373,000 and $226,000, respectively, of receivables were charged against the allowance. 21 6. Property and Equipment Property and equipment consist of the following:
December 31, ---------------- 1996 1995 ------- ------ (in thousands) Building $ 371 $ 342 Land 38 38 Computers and software 9,977 7,409 Furniture and fixtures 2,100 1,236 Leasehold improvements 3,043 2,678 Other equipment and vehicles 273 842 ------- ------ 15,802 12,545 Accumulated depreciation 6,431 5,468 ------- ------ Total property and equipment, net $ 9,371 $ 7,077 ======= =======

Capitalized Software Development Costs During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company capitalized $2,785,000, $2,806,000 and $1,993,000, respectively, of total software development costs of $12,773,000, $11,846,000 and $9,727,000, respectively. Amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $2,188,000, $1,728,000 and $1,762,000, respectively, and accumulated amortization was $10,609,000, $8,421,000 and $6,693,000, respectively. Additionally, $5,812,000 of capitalized software development costs were acquired as part of the Antrim acquisition, of which $3,252,000 of in-process technology was immediately charged to operations. 8. Line of Credit and Debt Line of Credit On March 8, 1996, the Company entered into a $10,000,000 line of credit agreement with the Bank of America Arizona. A portion of the line of credit was used to refinance the existing line of credit (discussed below) and current portion of long-term debt. Unless the Company elects one of the optional interest rates (the Optional Rates), the interest rate is the reference rate as announced from time to time by the Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association (the Bank of America Rate). 22 At December 31, 1996, the Optional Rates and the Bank of America Rate ranged from 6.65% to 8.25%. All outstanding principal and interest under the line of credit are due September 30, 1997 except for any amounts under the line of credit outstanding under financing stand-by letters of credit which have a maximum maturity of 365 days. Amounts borrowed under the line of credit are secured by all of the Company's assets. Approximately $204,000 of the line of credit is used to secure letters of credit and is not available for immediate expenditure. The amount of letters of credit outstanding at any one time may not exceed $5,000,000. The new line of credit contains requirements as to minimum levels of working capital, net worth and cash flow and places certain restrictions on new debt, acquisitions, capital expenditures and loans to related parties. The agreement prohibits the payment of any capital distributions or dividends other than certain S corporation distributions in connection with the initial public offering. There were no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1996 under the new line of credit. The Company had a line of credit that provided working capital up to $5,000,000 based upon specified amounts of eligible accounts receivable. The line of credit required interest at an annual rate of prime plus 0.75%. At December 31, 1995, the interest rate was 9.25%. Amounts borrowed under the line of credit were secured by all of the Company's assets. At December 31, 1995, the Company had $1,900,000 outstanding under the line of credit and $3,100,000 available to borrow. Debt The $289,000 in debt outstanding at December 31, 1996 represents a note bearing interest at 10%, which matures on March 22, 1997. The $200,000 in debt outstanding at December 31, 1995 represents various term loans bearing interest at prime plus 0.75% in 1995, secured by all of the assets of the Company. The carrying amounts of the Company's borrowings approximate fair value. The fair values of the Company's borrowings (see Note 14) are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based upon the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of debt arrangements. 23 9. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes, reconciliation of income tax expense and components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are set forth below. Provision for Income Taxes
1996 --------- (in thousands) Current tax expense: Federal $ 2,826 State 704 --------- Total current tax expense 3,530 --------- Deferred tax expense: Federal 211 State 136 --------- Total deferred tax expense 347 --------- Total income tax expense $ 3,877 =========

The Company has net operating losses of approximately $5,300,000 that were generated by Antrim prior to its affiliation with the Company. Of this amount, approximately $860,000 can be carried back to Antrim's separate company tax return for 1994. The remaining balance can be carried forward and used to offset Antrim's future taxable income. The loss carryforward is subject to limitations as to the amount and timing of its use. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $950,000 has been provided against the tax benefit of $1,988,000. The valuation allowance will be allocated to goodwill in the event the full benefit of the net operating loss is realized. The net operating loss carryforward will expire in the years 2010 and 2011. 10. Leases The Company leases two buildings from Any Travel, Inc. (Any Travel), an affiliated entity, under capital leases. The affiliation is through common ownership of the Company and Any Travel. The Company also leases certain buildings and equipment from third parties under noncancelable lease arrangements that may be adjusted for increases in maintenance and insurance costs and the consumer price index. These capital and operating leases expire in various years through May 2004 and may be renewed for periods ranging from one to five years. 25 Amortization of leased assets is included in depreciation and amortization expense. Future minimum payments under capital leases and noncancelable operating leases with initial terms of one year or more consisted of the following at December 31, 1996:
Capital Operating Leases Leases -------- --------- (in thousands) 1997 $ 1,876 $ 507 1998 1,876 387 1999 1,842 127 2000 1,809 99 2001 1,809 47 Thereafter 2,285 - ------- ------ Total minimum lease payments 11,497 $1,167 ====== Amounts representing interest 4,923 ------- Present value of net minimum lease payments (including current portion of $653,000) $ 6,574 =======
At December 31, 1996, aggregate future minimum rental payments to be received under noncancelable subleases were approximately $411,000. Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $474,000, $318,000 and $248,000, respectively. 11. Commitments and Contingencies Any Travel had approximately $3,241,000 of mortgage term debt outstanding to a third party at December 31, 1996. The Company has guaranteed the payment of all principal and interest under the mortgage note. The guaranty agreement prohibits the payment of any dividends other than certain S corporation distributions in connection with the initial public offering. Payments under the mortgage note are due in monthly installments through July 1, 1997, at which time Any Travel may extend the final maturity to July 1, 2002. The mortgage note is secured by land and a building with a net book value of approximately $4,460,000 at December 31, 1996. The Company has granted liens on all of its assets to a vendor to secure amounts due for purchases of hardware and other equipment. 26 12. Related Party Transactions The Company had the following notes receivable from Any Travel at December 31, 1995:
1995 --------------- (in thousands) Note receivable, due in monthly installments of $49,012 including interest at 8.5% through May 2001 $2,515 Note receivable, due in monthly installments of $18,743 including interest at 8.0% through July 2002 1,130 ------ Total 3,645 Less amount due in one year 529 ------ Long-term portion $3,116 ======
The current portion of notes receivable from a related party included approximately $8,000 of accrued interest at December 31, 1995. A portion of the "First S Corporation Distribution" was contributed by shareholders to the capital of Any Travel and in July 1996 was used by Any Travel to repay the above notes. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company received management fees from an affiliate of $240,000, $240,000 and $140,000, respectively. As of September 1, 1995, the Company purchased land and a building from related parties for $380,000. The purchase was financed through the issuance of a 7.0% demand note to the affiliate from whom the related parties had borrowed the money to purchase the property. This note was paid in full in March 1996. On May 30, 1996, all of the outstanding stock of Sunquest Europa and Sunquest Germany was transferred to the Company by certain of its shareholders as a capital contribution. The fair values of the financial instruments that were outstanding at December 31, 1995 (see Note 14) were estimated using discounted cash flow analysis at current market interest rates for such assets. 27 13. Employee Benefit Plans Profit Sharing Plan The Company has a Profit Sharing Plan covering substantially all of its employees. Employees who have both attained age 21 and completed 1,000 or more hours of service in a twelve-month period are eligible to participate. Under provisions of the plan, participants may contribute up to 12% of their eligible compensation to the plan and the Company can make discretionary contributions to the plan. The Company incurred expenses of approximately $729,000, $337,000 and $631,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, related to this plan. Employee Stock Purchase Plan On March 25, 1996, the Board of Directors adopted and the shareholders approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which authorizes the sale of up to 450,000 shares of Common Stock to participating employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The plan is open to all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who are regularly scheduled to work more than 20 hours per week and have completed at least one year of service, except those who own shares possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all outstanding shares of all classes of equity securities of the Company. Employees may designate up to 10% of their base pay, but not less than $10 per pay period, for the purchase of Common Stock. Offerings under the plan commence on the first day of each calendar quarter and end on the last day of the same calendar quarter. The first offering under the plan commenced July 1, 1996 and terminated September 30, 1996. The purchase price is equal to 90% of the last sale price of the Common Stock, as reported on the National Association of Security Dealer's, Inc. (Nasdaq) Automated Quotation System, on the commencement date of the offering. No fractional shares of Common Stock are issued. Any remaining balance in the participant's account is used in the next offering, unless the participant elects otherwise or the account is otherwise refunded. During 1996, 8,587 shares of Common Stock were issued under the plan for an aggregate purchase price of $120,000. Stock Incentive Plan On March 25, 1996, the Board of Directors adopted and the shareholders approved the Stock Incentive Plan of 1996, which authorizes the issuance of up to 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to stock options or other awards granted to employees and other eligible persons. Options granted allow the optionees to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock at prices not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. All options granted have ten year terms and become exercisable as specified in the stock option agreements. The plan will expire in March 2006. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1996: risk-free interest rate of 6.52%; dividend yield of 0%; 28 volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's Common Stock of .62; and a weighted-average expected life of the options of 4.9 years. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods. The Company's pro forma information follows (in thousands, except per share data):
1996 ------- Pro forma net income $3,469 Pro forma net income per share .25
Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion the existing modules do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. A summary of the Company's stock option activity and related information for the year ended December 31, 1996 follows:
1996 ----------------------------- Options Weighted-Average (000's) Exercise Price ------- ---------------- Outstanding-beginning of year - $ - Granted 821 $15.95 Exercised - $ - Forfeited (77) $16.00 ------- Outstanding-end of year 744 $15.95 ======= Exercisable at end of year - - Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year $9.28
29 Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1996 were $14.875 and $16.000. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of those options is 9.4 years. 14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:
1996 1995 -------------------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value ---------- ------- -------- ------- (in thousands) Cash and cash equivalents $31,911 $31,911 $ 352 $ 352 Accounts receivable 30,283 30,283 17,054 17,054 Notes receivable from related party - - 3,645 3,592 Other receivables 1,905 1,905 793 793 Accounts payable 2,833 2,833 1,987 1,987 Line of credit - - 1,900 1,900 Term debt 289 289 200 200 Related party debt - - 380 380
15. Shareholders' Equity On March 25, 1996, the Board of Directors amended and restated the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to, among other things, convert the Class A Common Stock (10,000,000 shares authorized) and Class B Common Stock (5,000,000 shares authorized) into a single class of Common Stock, no par value, with 35,000,000 shares authorized. The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation also authorize the issuance of up to 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The issued and outstanding shares at December 31, 1995 have been adjusted to reflect these changes. On March 25, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a 1780.3836-for-1 split of the Common Stock. All share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this split. 30 16.
