Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements
(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Eclipsys Corporation (“Eclipsys” or the “Company”), and the notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The December 31, 2006 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements. These condensed statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America but do reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented.
 
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of annual results. The Company manages its business as one reportable segment.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto that are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 that was filed with the SEC on May 23, 2007.

The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 include a reclassification related to medical benefit costs to conform to 2007 presentation.  Specifically, for both periods, $0.6 million of cost was reclassified to general and administrative expenses resulting in corresponding reductions of $0.3 million in cost of systems and services, $0.2 million in research and development and $0.1 million in sales and marketing.

 

3. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

2005 Stock Incentive Plan

At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held June 29, 2005, our stockholders approved the Company's 2005 Stock Incentive Plan ("2005 Plan").  Under the 2005 Plan, no further awards will be granted under our prior Stock Incentive Plans which include our 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000 plans.  Awards may be made under the 2005 Plan for a number of shares (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events) equal to the sum of (1) 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (2) any shares reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan that remain available for issuance as of the date the 2005 Plan was approved by our stockholders and (3) any shares subject to outstanding awards under our 1996 Stock Plan, the Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, the Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and the Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan that expire or are terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised, are repurchased or forfeited in whole or part or result in any shares subject to such award not being issued.  

In the second quarter of 2006, we implemented a deferred stock unit plan to provide for equity compensation for our non-employee directors in the form of deferred stock units ("DSUs") granted under the 2005 Plan. As of the date of each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders, each continuing non-employee director receives a number of DSUs determined by dividing $75,000 by the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the grant date. These DSUs vest quarterly over the course of the ensuing year. After cessation of board service, the Company will settle the DSUs by issuing to the former director a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the number of accumulated vested DSUs. In addition, a non-employee director may elect to receive DSUs in lieu of all or a portion of his or her cash fees. All DSUs received for cash fees are fully vested upon issuance.

As of June 30, 2007, there were 1,621,997 shares available for future issuance under the 2005 Plan.

As of June 30, 2007, $31.7 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.6 years.

The weighted average fair value of outstanding stock options is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. We issued 320,000 stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2007. The following are significant weighted average assumptions used for estimating the fair value of the activity under our stock option plans:

Expected volatility
    64.54 %     77.54 %
Dividend yield
    0 %     0 %

We have elected to use the simplified method for estimating our expected term equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term as allowed by Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, Share-Based Payment.

We currently estimate volatility by using the historical volatility of our common stock.

The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term input to the Black-Scholes model.

We estimate forfeitures using a historical forfeiture rate. Our estimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from our estimate.

As of June 30, 2007, $7.2 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.6 years.  All non-vested stock awards vest semiannually, in June and December of each year.  The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $1.6 million.

Deferred Stock Units
We granted 2,893 DSUs during the six months ended June 30, 2007 at an average market value of $20.07. As of June 30, 2007, 29,352 DSUs were outstanding at the weighted average grant-date fair value of $19.03. The value of these DSUs is amortized to compensation expense and director fees ratably over the vesting period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded expense related to DSUs of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

4. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
 
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, all of our marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale and were carried at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses, reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The unrealized gain (loss) associated with the marketable securities was not significant for the periods presented. We do not recognize changes in the fair value of investments in income unless a decline in value is considered other-than-temporary.  Marketable securities consisted of the following (in thousands):

6. WARRANTY RESERVE

The agreements that we use to license software to our customers generally include limited warranties including a warranty that the product, in its unaltered form, will perform substantially in accordance with the related documentation. Warranty costs are charged to the cost of systems and services when they are probable and reasonably estimable.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
Acquired technology and other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The carrying values of acquired technology and other intangible assets are reviewed if the facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired, and goodwill is reviewed annually in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Testing is performed on a more frequent basis if impairment triggering events arise. The impairment test is based upon a number of factors, including operating results, business plans and projected future cash flows. No impairment charge has been recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2007 or the year ended December 31, 2006.The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2007, is as follows (in thousands):

9. BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

For all periods presented, basic and diluted income (loss) per common share is presented in accordance with SFAS 128, “Earnings per Share,” which provides for the accounting principles used in the calculation of income (loss) per share. Basic income (loss) per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution from assumed conversion of all dilutive equity securities using the treasury stock method. When the effect of the outstanding equity securities is anti-dilutive, they are not included in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share.

10. RESTRUCTURING

In January 2006, we effected a restructuring of our operations which included a reduction in headcount of approximately 100 individuals, and the reorganization of our Company. This was undertaken to better align our organization, reduce costs, and re-invest some of the cost savings into client-related activities including client support and professional services.  We completed the restructuring during the second quarter of 2006. This resulted in restructuring charges of approximately $1.3 million and $8.5 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, of which $0.3 million and $1.2 million related to non-cash stock-based compensation expense.  In addition, in December 2006, we realigned certain management resources and closed three of our facilities to eliminate excess office space.

We did not incur any restructuring charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the remaining unpaid restructuring liability of $2.5 million relates to severance and future lease payments which we expect to pay out through 2009. 

A summary of the restructuring charges, along with the activity for the six months ended June 30, 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

11. CONTINGENCIES

On July 10 and July 30, 2007, purported stockholder derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company and the Company as a nominal defendant.  The derivative complaints, which followed the Company’s announcement in May 2007 of the results of the Company’s voluntary review of its historical stock option practices, are similar to derivative complaints regarding stock option dating filed against more than 150 other companies during the last two years.  The complaints allege that during the period from at least 1999 until 2006 certain of the Company's option grants were backdated and that as a result of this alleged backdating the Company's financial statements were misstated and stock sales by the named defendants constituted improper insider selling.  The complaints seek to assert claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and under state law, and request as relief that the individual defendants be ordered to pay damages and disgorgement in unspecified amounts to the Company, that unspecified equitable relief be ordered, that the Company be required to make certain corporate governance changes, that plaintiffs be awarded attorneys’ fees, and that other relief as defined by the court be ordered.  The Company understands that the complaint has not yet been served, and to date no response has been filed to the complaint.  The Company is currently unable to predict the outcome of the litigation or to reasonably estimate the range of potential loss, if any.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time parties to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims incident to their business activities.  Such matters may include, among other things, assertions of contract breach or intellectual property infringement, claims for indemnity arising in the course of our business and claims by persons whose employment with us has been terminated.  Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance.  Consequently, management is unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability, amounts which may be covered by insurance or recoverable from third parties, or the financial impact with respect to these matters as of June 30, 2007.  However, based on our knowledge, management believes that the final resolution of such matters pending at the time of this report, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows us an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Eclipsys has not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. Prior to the issuance of SFAS 157, guidance for applying fair value was incorporated in several accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under SFAS 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, the same effective date as SFAS 159. Eclipsys has not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on its financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48) which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. We adopted this Interpretation effective January 1, 2007.
 
We did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on our financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48.

The Company records income tax penalties, if any, in general and administrative expense.  Interest on penalties, if any, is recorded as interest expense, which is included in interest income, net, on the income statement. The Company has not recorded any interest or penalties related to FIN 48, in the current quarter or on a cumulative basis.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, numerous states, Canada and India. All federal, state and international jurisdictions are open to examination due to net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has not been audited by the Internal Revenue Service. We do not believe there will be any material change in our unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.

In June 2006, EITF 06-3, “How Sales Taxes Collected from Clients and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross Versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-3”) was issued. EITF 06-3 requires disclosure of the presentation of taxes on either a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a net (excluded from revenue) basis as an accounting policy decision. The Company adopted the provisions of this standard effective January 1, 2007 and records taxes on a net basis. The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

13.  LETTER OF CREDIT

In April 2007, we entered into a letter of credit agreement in the amount of $1.9 million to secure our obligation under a lease agreement for our new Atlanta location. The letter of credit is collateralized by the Company’s cash of $2.0 million. The letter of credit expires in October 2008, but is automatically extended for one year periods, not beyond December 2017.  The cash collateral is restricted by the terms of the credit agreement and is included in “Other assets” on our Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007.

This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our company and our industry. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual outcomes may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted. When used in this report, the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “predict,” “continue,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “believe,” “could,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements may include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our anticipated performance, including revenue, margin, cash flow, balance sheet and profit expectations; development and implementation of our software; duration, size, scope and revenue expectations associated with client contracts; benefits provided by Eclipsys software, outsourcing and consulting services; business mix; sales and growth in our client base; market opportunities; industry conditions; and our accounting, including its effects and potential changes in accounting.

Actual results might differ materially from the results projected due to a number of risks and uncertainties. Software development may take longer and cost more than expected, and incorporation of anticipated features and functionality may be delayed, due to various factors including programming and integration challenges and resource constraints. We may change our product strategy in response to client requirements, market factors, resource availability, and other factors. Implementation of some of our software is complex and time consuming. Clients' circumstances vary and may include unforeseen issues that make it more difficult or costly than anticipated to implement or derive benefit from software, outsourcing or consulting services. The success and timeliness of our services often depend at least in part upon client involvement, which can be difficult to control. We are required to meet standard performance specifications, and contracts can be terminated or their scope reduced under certain circumstances. Competition is vigorous, and competitors may develop more compelling offerings or offer more aggressive pricing. New business is not assured and existing clients may migrate to competing offerings. Financial performance targets might not be achieved due to various risks, including slower-than-expected business development or new account implementation, or higher-than-expected costs to develop products, meet service commitments or sign new contracts. Our cash consumption may exceed expected levels if profitability does not meet expectations or strategic opportunities require cash investments. These and other risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements are described in this report under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results in Operations” and in our other filings made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The cautionary statements made in this report should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear. These statements are only predictions. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the risk factors referenced above and other risks set forth in this report or other reports we have filed or may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. We nonetheless reserve the right to make such updates from time to time without the need for specific reference to this report. No such update shall be deemed to indicate that other statements not addressed by such updates remain correct or create an obligation to provide any other updates.
 
Executive Overview
 
The following should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this document.  

Eclipsys is a healthcare information technology company and a leading provider of advanced integrated information software clinical content and professional services that help healthcare organizations improve clinical, financial and operational processes. We develop and license proprietary software and content that is designed for use in connection with many of the key clinical, administrative and financial functions that healthcare organizations require. Among other things, our software enables physicians, nurses and other clinicians to order tests, treatments and medications, and to record, access and share information about patients. The software also facilitates hospitals’ patient admissions, scheduling, records maintenance, invoicing, inventory control, cost accounting, and assessment of profitability of specific medical procedures and personnel. Our content, which is integrated with our software, provides practice guidelines for use by physicians, nurses and other clinicians.
 
We believe that one of the key differentiators of our software is its open, flexible and modular architecture.  This allows our software to be installed one application at a time or all at once, and to generally integrate easily with software developed by other vendors or our clients. This enables our clients to install our software without the disruption and expense of replacing their existing software systems to gain additional functionality.
  
We market our software to small, stand-alone hospitals, large multi-entity healthcare systems, academic medical centers, community hospitals and other healthcare organizations. We have one or more of our software applications installed in, or licensed to be installed at approximately 1,500 facilities. Most of the top-ranked U.S. hospitals named in U.S. News & World Report’s Honor Roll use one or more of our solutions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues
Total revenues increased $16.6 million, or 16.2%, to $119.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared with $102.4 million for the second quarter of 2006.

Systems and services
Systems and services revenues increased $16.5 million, or 16.8%, to $114.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared with $97.8 million for the same period of 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to revenue recognized on a ratable basis from contracts signed since the second quarter of 2006.

Revenues recognized ratably from software, maintenance, outsourcing and remote hosting  were $74.4 million, an increase of $6.3 million or 9.3%, when compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was due to higher sales bookings of our software as well as higher revenues from our outsourcing and remote hosting related services.

The increase in professional services revenues, which include implementation and consulting related services, also contributed to the increase in systems and services revenues.  Professional services revenues were $29.1 million, which represented an increase of $5.6 million or 23.8% over the prior year. The increase is related to additional customer implementation activity and an improvement in utilization.  Professional service implementations and activations are expected to continue at higher levels in 2007 when compared to 2006.

Additionally, periodic revenues related to software licenses were $5.4 million, revenues related to third party software licenses were $2.4 million and revenues related to networking services were $3.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. This compared to revenues of $1.4 million for software licenses, $1.3 million for third party software licenses and $3.5 million for network services for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. In any quarter the Company recognizes software revenue that can be considered non-recurring in nature and results from new traditional client contracts signed during the period, achievement during the period of contract milestones from traditional client contracts signed in previous periods, and certain other activities during the period associated with clients.  There is generally relatively little in-period cost associated with these revenues so they can contribute significantly to margin in the period.  We expect these periodic revenues to continue to fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a result of significant variations in the type and magnitude of sales and other contract activity in any period, and these variations make it difficult to predict the nature and amount of these periodic revenues.

Cost of systems and services increased by $9.3 million, or 16.0%, to $67.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $58.1 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in costs of systems and services was primarily driven by additional sales of our products as described above, with associated increases in compensation costs and travel to support the increased level of sales activity.
 
Cost of hardware was $3.7 million during the second quarter of 2007 and was relatively consistent with the second quarter of 2006. Due to a more favorable hardware costs, gross margins on hardware revenue increased to 21.4% in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 15.8% in second quarter 2006.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $3.5 million, or 24.1%, to $18.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $14.5 million for the second quarter of 2006. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily related to increased commissions on higher sales bookings during the quarter and additional expenses for trade shows and other marketing events, targeted to increase market awareness of our software and services.

Research and development expenses during the current quarter were $13.8 million, compared to $14.0 million in the second quarter of 2006. Gross research and development costs, including capitalized software, were $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared to $17.1 million in the same quarter of 2006. The increase in gross research and development costs was due to additional compensation-related expenses on a higher employee base as we expand our development activities.  Capitalized software development costs increased by $2.3 million to $5.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $3.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Software development costs capitalized during the second quarter of 2007 reflect increased activity related to the upcoming release of Sunrise XA 5.0, while a large portion of development costs in the second quarter of 2006 were non-capitalizable, as they related to  maintenance following the release of Sunrise XA 4.5 in early 2006.

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 23.1%, to $7.6 million, in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in expenses was primarily related to $1.2 million in additional expenses, mostly related to legal and audit fees, in connection with our voluntary stock option review completed in May of 2007.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.4 million, or 10.3%, to $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $3.9 million, in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in depreciation and amortization is attributable to the increased asset base,  including our enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system implemented in the second quarter of 2006, intangible assets acquired in July of 2006 related to the acquisition of Sysware Health Care Systems, Inc, as well as on-going purchases of fixed assets needed to support our operations.

During the second quarter of 2006, we recorded additional restructuring charges of $1.3 million. This was undertaken to better align our organization, reduce costs and to re-invest some of the cost savings into client-related activities including client support and professional services. We did not incur any restructuring charges during the second quarter of 2007. At June 30, 2007, the remaining unpaid liability in connection with our 2006 restructuring activities was $2.5 million, which we expect to pay out through 2009. 

Interest income increased $0.3 million, or 20.9%, to $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2006. The increase was due to higher interest income earned in the quarter on higher balances of marketable securities investments.

As a result of these factors, our net income was $5.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1.8 million for the second quarter in 2006.

 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues
Total revenues increased by $28.7 million, or 14.1%, to $232.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with $203.3 million in the first six months of 2006.

Systems and services
Systems and services revenues increased by $29.3 million, or 15.1%, to $223.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with $194.2 million in the first six months of 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to revenue recognized on a ratable basis from contracts signed since the second quarter of 2006.

Specifically, revenues recognized ratably from software, maintenance, outsourcing and remote hosting were $147.6 million, an increase of $12.2 million or 9.1%, when compared to the prior year. The increase was due to higher sales bookings of our software as well as higher revenues from our outsourcing and remote hosting related services, primarily related to contracts signed during 2006. 

The increase in professional services revenues also contributed to the increase in systems and services revenues.  Professional services revenues, which include implementation and consulting related services, were $58.8 million, an increase of $11.6 million or 24.6% over the prior year.  The increase was related to additional customer implementation activity and an improvement in utilization.  Professional service implementations and activations are expected to continue at higher levels in 2007 when compared to 2006.

Additionally, periodic revenues related to software licenses were $8.1 million, revenues related to third party software licenses were $3.6 million and revenues related to networking services were $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This compared to revenues of $5.5 million for software licenses, $3.6 million for third party software licenses and $2.9 million for network services for the six months ended June 30, 2006. In any quarter the Company recognizes software revenue that can be considered non-recurring in nature and results from new traditional client contracts signed during the period, achievement during the period of contract milestones from traditional client contracts signed in previous periods, and certain other activities during the period associated with clients.  There is generally relatively little in-period cost associated with these revenues so they can contribute significantly to margin in the period.  We expect these periodic revenues to continue to fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a result of significant variations in the type and magnitude of sales and other contract activity in any period, and these variations make it difficult to predict the nature and amount of these periodic revenues.

Hardware
Hardware revenues decreased by $0.5 million, or 5.9%, to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with $9.1 million for the first six months of 2006, mainly due to a lower level of sales activity in the first quarter of 2007.

Cost of systems and services increased by $17.1 million, or 14.9%, to $131.7 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $114.6 million for the first six months of 2006. The increase in costs of systems and services was primarily driven by additional sales of our products as described above, with associated increases in compensation expense and travel to support increased activity during the period. Gross margins on systems and services revenue increased slightly to 41.1% in the first six months of 2007 compared to 41.0% for the first six months of 2006.
 
Cost of hardware decreased by $0.7 million, or 9.8%, to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $7.5 million in the same period of 2006. The decrease in the cost of hardware was attributable to the decrease in hardware revenues discussed above. Gross margins on hardware revenue increased to 21.3% in the first six months of 2007 compared to 17.9% in first six months 2006, due to more favorable hardware costs during the period.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $5.5 million, or 17.7%, to $36.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $30.7 million during the first six months of 2006. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily related to increased commissions on higher sales bookings during the second quarter and additional expenses for trade shows and other marketing events, targeted to increase market awareness of our software and services.

Research and development expenses, net of capitalized software, decreased by $2.8 million, or 9.0%, to $28.2 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $31.0 million in the first six months of 2006.  The decrease in research and development expense was related to higher research and development activity in connection with capitalizable project costs, in particular,  the upcoming release of version 5.0 of Sunrise XA. A large portion of development costs in the second quarter of 2006 were non-capitalizable as they related to maintenance following the release of Sunrise XA 4.5 in early 2006. Capitalized software development costs increased by $5.2 million to $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in capitalizable software development costs was somewhat offset by additional compensation-related expenses on higher employee base as we expand our development activities.  Gross research and development costs were $38.0 million in the six months, compared to $35.6 million in the first six months of 2006.

General and administrative expenses increased by $3.8 million, or 31.8%, to $15.6 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $11.8 million in the first six months of 2006. The increase in expenses was primarily related to $2.2 million in additional expenses, mostly related to legal and audit fees, in connection with the voluntary stock option review completed in May of 2007.  The 2007 results also include increased compensation-related expenses for additional headcount added to support current and future growth.  Additionally, the results for the first six months of 2006 included capitalization of internal labor costs of $0.4 million in connection with implementation of our ERP system, thus reducing the expense incurred in the period.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.9 million, or 11.4%, to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $7.7 million in the same period of 2006. The increase in depreciation and amortization is attributable to the increased asset base,  including our ERP system implemented in the second quarter of 2006, intangible assets acquired in July of 2006 related to the acquisition of Sysware Health Care Systems, Inc, as well as on-going purchases of fixed assets needed to support our operations.

In the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded a charge of $8.5 million in connection with the restructuring. The restructuring was implemented to re-invest some of the cost savings into client-related activities, including client support and professional services. We did not incur any restructuring charges during the first six months of 2007. At June 30, 2007, the remaining unpaid liability in connection with our 2006 restructuring activities was $2.5 million, which we expect to pay out through 2009. 

Interest income increased $0.6 million, or 26.0%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $2.5 million for the first six months of 2006. The increase was due to higher interest income earned in the first six months of 2007 on higher balances of marketable securities investments.

As a result of these factors, our net income was $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to a net loss of $6.2 million for the first six months in 2006.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, operating activities provided $16.7 million of cash. Operating activities were favorably impacted by income generated from operations of $33.8 million (adjusted for non cash charges of $25.7 million), offset by uses of cash of $17.1 million from the fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities due to timing of payments and cash receipts. Additionally, included in the operating activities are payments of $3.2 million in connection with our 2006 restructuring activities. Investing activities used $36.0 million of cash, primarily consisting of net purchases of marketable securities of $15.1 million to invest excess cash not needed in daily operations, routine business purchases of property and equipment of $8.4 million, capitalized software development costs of $9.8 million for new product development as well as $2.0 million in funds used to collateralize a letter of credit on a new building lease.  Financing activities provided cash inflow of $7.5 million from exercises of stock options. The timing and amount of cash provided by future stock option exercises is uncertain. 

As of June 30, 2007, our principal source of liquidity was our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balances of $134.5 million. Our future liquidity requirements will depend on a number of factors including, among other things, the timing and level of our new sales volumes, the cost of our development efforts, the success and market acceptance of our future product releases, and other related items. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balances, combined with our anticipated cash collections from customers will be adequate to meet our currently anticipated liquidity requirements for the next twelve months. These requirements are expected to be funded with cash generated from operations, as well as our current cash and cash equivalent balances.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
At June 30, 2007, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
We believe there are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding our historical and future performance as these policies affect the reported amount of revenues and expenses and other significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates and adjusts its estimates and judgments, if necessary. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingencies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be materially different from those estimates. There were no changes to our critical accounting policies as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC on May 23, 2007.
 

We generally invest in high quality debt instruments with relatively short maturities. Based upon the nature of our investments, we do not expect any material loss from our investments. Nevertheless, investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates.

We do not currently use derivative financial instruments. We do not currently enter into foreign currency hedge transactions. Foreign currency fluctuations have not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

We account for cash equivalents and marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115. “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair market value.
 
 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2007.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives of ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.  There is no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will operate effectively under all circumstances.  Based upon the evaluation described above our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  As previously disclosed in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the following changes were implemented to improve our non-cash stock-based compensation expense internal controls, and such controls were implemented and were operating effectively during the quarter ended June 30, 2007:

·  
A review of the method of amortization for all grants on a quarterly basis to detect  changes to previously input information; and

·  
A quarterly review of a system report that includes all grants, as opposed to only reviewing new grants in the quarter to detect changes to previously input information.

The information set forth under Note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.



Our past stock option practices and related accounting issues may result in additional litigation, regulatory proceedings and governmental enforcement actions.

As a result of our voluntary review of historical stock option practices, we concluded that incorrect measurement dates were used for accounting for certain prior stock option grants. As a result, we recorded additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and related tax effects, with regard to certain past stock option grants, and we restated certain previously filed financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.  In addition, the review and related activities resulted in substantial expenses for legal, accounting, tax and other professional services.
 
 We believe we made appropriate judgments in determining the correct measurement dates for our stock option grants, and to date those judgments have not been challenged.  However, as with other aspects of our financial statements, the results of our stock option review are subject to regulatory review and a commensurate risk that we may have to further restate prior period results.

Our past stock option granting practices and the restatement of prior financial statements have exposed us to risks associated with claims by stockholders or employees, regulatory proceedings, government enforcement actions and related investigations and litigation. These risks include significant expenses, management distraction and potential damages, penalties, other remedies, or adverse findings, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

On July 10 and July 30, 2007, purported stockholder derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company and the Company as a nominal defendant.  The derivative complaints are similar to derivative complaints regarding stock option dating filed against more than 150 other companies during the last two years.  The complaints allege that as a result of this alleged backdating of option grants our financial statements were misstated, and stock sales by the named defendants constituted improper insider selling.  We are currently unable to predict the outcome of the litigations or to reasonably estimate the range of potential loss, if any.  However, dealing with such litigations will result in incremental legal expenses and could divert management’s attention from other business concerns.  See Note 11 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
_______________

Many other risks affect our business.  These risks include, but are not limited to, those described below, each of which may be relevant to decisions regarding ownership of our stock.  We have attempted to organize the description of these risks into logical groupings to enhance readability, but many of the risks interrelate or could be grouped in other ways, so no special significance should be attributed to these groupings.  Any of these risks could have a significant adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
RISKS RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF OUR SOFTWARE

Our software may not operate properly, which could damage our reputation and impair our sales. 
 
Software development is time consuming, expensive and complex.  Unforeseen difficulties can arise. We may encounter technical obstacles, and it is possible that we could discover additional problems that prevent our software from operating properly. If our software contains errors or does not function consistent with software specifications or client expectations, clients could assert liability claims against us and/or attempt to cancel their contracts with us.  These risks are generally more significant for newer software, until it has been used for enough time in enough client locations for us to have addressed issues that are discovered through use in disparate circumstances and environments.  Due to our development efforts, we generally have significant software that could be considered relatively new and therefore more vulnerable to these risks, including at present our medication management and ambulatory software, among other things.  It is also possible that future releases of our software, which would typically include additional features, may be delayed or may require additional work to address issues that may be discovered as the software comes into use in our client base. If we fail to deliver software with the features and functionality as described in our software specifications, we could be subject to significant contractual damages.
 
20

 
Our software development efforts may not meet the needs of our clients, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
 
We continuously strive to develop new software, and improve our existing software to add new features and functionality. We schedule and prioritize these development efforts according to a variety of factors, including our perceptions of market trends, client requirements, and resource availability. Our software is complex and requires a significant investment of time and resources to develop, test and introduce into use. Sometimes this takes longer than we expect. Sometimes we encounter unanticipated difficulties that require us to re-direct or scale-back our efforts. Sometimes we change our plans in response to changes in client requirements, market demands, resource availability, regulatory requirements, or other factors. All of this can result in acceleration of some initiatives and delay of others.  If we make the wrong choices or do not manage our development efforts well, we may fail to produce software that responds appropriately to our clients' needs, or we may fail to meet client expectations regarding new or enhanced features and functionality.  
 
Market changes or mistaken development decisions could decrease the demand for our software, which could harm our business and decrease our revenues.

The healthcare information technology market is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards and new software introductions and enhancements that may render existing software obsolete or less competitive. Our position in the market could erode rapidly due to the development of regulatory or industry standards that our software may not fully meet, or due to changes in the features and functions of competing software, as well as the pricing models for such software.  Our future success will depend in part upon our ability to enhance our existing software and services, and to develop and introduce competing new software and services that are appropriately priced to meet changing client and market requirements. The process of developing software and services such as those we offer is extremely complex and is expected to become more complex and expensive in the future as new technologies are introduced.  As we evolve our offering in an attempt to anticipate and meet market demand, clients and potential clients may find our software and services less appealing.  If software development for the healthcare information technology market becomes significantly more expensive due to changes in regulatory requirements or healthcare industry practices, or other factors, we may find ourselves at a disadvantage to larger competitors with more financial resources to devote to development.  If we are unable to enhance our existing software or develop new software to meet changing client requirements, demand for our software could suffer.
 
Our software strategy is dependent on the continued development and support by Microsoft of its .NET Framework and other technologies.
 
Our software strategy is substantially dependent upon Microsoft's .NET Framework and other Microsoft technologies. The .NET Framework, in particular, is a relatively new and evolving technology. If Microsoft were to cease actively supporting .NET or other technologies, fail to update and enhance them to keep pace with changing industry standards, encounter technical difficulties in the continuing development of these technologies or make them unavailable to us, we could be required to invest significant resources in re-engineering our software. This could lead to lost or delayed sales, client costs associated with platform changes, unanticipated development expenses and harm to our reputation, and would cause our financial results and business to suffer.
 
Any failure by us to protect our intellectual property, or any misappropriation of it, could enable our competitors to market software with similar features, which could reduce demand for our software.
 
We are dependent upon our proprietary information and technology. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation. The laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United States. Also, despite the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary rights, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects of our software, reverse engineer our software or otherwise obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In some limited instances, clients can access source-code versions of our software, subject to contractual limitations on the permitted use of the source code. Furthermore, it may be possible for our competitors to copy or gain access to our content. Although our license agreements with clients attempt to prevent misuse of the source code or trade secrets, the possession of our source code or trade secrets by third parties increases the ease and likelihood of potential misappropriation of our software. Furthermore, others could independently develop technologies similar or superior to our technology or design around our proprietary rights.

Failure of security features of our software could expose us to significant expense and harm our reputation.
 
Clients use our systems to store and transmit highly confidential patient health information.  Because of the sensitivity of this information, security features of our software are very important.  If, notwithstanding our efforts, our software security features do not function properly, or client systems using our software are compromised, we could face claims for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws or regulations, significant costs for remediation and re-engineering to prevent future occurrences, and serious harm to our reputation.

RISKS RELATED TO SALES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR SOFTWARE
 
The length of our sales and implementation cycles may adversely affect our future operating results.
 
We have experienced long sales and implementation cycles. How and when to implement, replace, expand or substantially modify an information system, or modify or add business processes, are major decisions for healthcare organizations, our target client market. Furthermore, our software generally requires significant capital expenditures by our clients. The sales cycle for our software ranges from 6 to 18 months or more from initial contact to contract execution.  Our implementation cycle has generally ranged from 6 to 36 months from contract execution to completion of implementation. During the sales and implementation cycles, we will expend substantial time, effort and resources preparing contract proposals, negotiating the contract and implementing the software. We may not realize any revenues to offset these expenditures and, if we do, accounting principles may not allow us to recognize the revenues during corresponding periods. Additionally, any decision by our clients to delay purchasing or implementing our software may adversely affect our revenues.
 
We may experience implementation delays that could harm our reputation and violate contractual commitments.
 
Some of our software is complex and requires a lengthy and expensive implementation process.  Each client's situation is different, and unanticipated difficulties and delays may arise as a result of failures by us or the client to meet our respective implementation responsibilities.  Because of the complexity of the implementation process, delays are sometimes difficult to attribute solely to us or the client.  Implementation delays could motivate clients to delay payments or attempt to cancel their contracts with us or seek other remedies from us. Any inability or perceived inability to implement consistent with a client's schedule may be a competitive disadvantage for us as we pursue new business.  Implementation also requires our clients to make a substantial commitment of their own time and resources and to make significant organizational and process changes, and if our clients are unable to fulfill their implementation responsibilities in a timely fashion our projects may be delayed or become less profitable.
 
Implementation costs may exceed expectations, which can negatively affect our operating results.
 
Each client's circumstances may include unforeseen issues that make it more difficult or costly than anticipated to implement our software. We may fail to project, price or manage our implementation services correctly.  If we do not have sufficient qualified personnel to fulfill our implementation commitments in a timely fashion, related revenue may be delayed, and if we must supplement our capabilities with expensive third-party consultants, our costs will increase.
 
Our performance depends upon software sales. 
 
We must achieve higher levels of software sales, consistent with our projections, in order to achieve our expectations for annual revenue and earnings and to provide a solid foundation for future growth. Our ability to improve sales depends upon many factors, including completion of implementation and successful use of our new software releases, particularly our pharmacy and ambulatory solutions, in live environments for clients who achieve success and are willing to become reference sites for us.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR IT OR TECHNOLOGY SERVICES
 
Various risks could interrupt clients' access to their data residing in our service center, exposing us to significant costs.
 
We provide remote hosting services that involve running our software and third-party vendor's software for clients in our Technology Solutions Center.  The ability to access the systems and the data the Technology Solution Center hosts and supports on demand is critical to our clients.  Our operations and facilities are vulnerable to interruption and/or damage from a number of sources, many of which are beyond our control, including, without limitation: (i) power loss and telecommunications failures; (ii) fire, flood, hurricane and other natural disasters; (iii) software and hardware errors, failures or crashes; and (iv) computer viruses, hacking and similar disruptive problems.  We attempt to mitigate these risks through various means including redundant infrastructure, disaster recovery plans, separate test systems and change control and system security measures, but our precautions  may not protect against all problems.  If clients' access is interrupted because of problems in the operation of our facilities, we could be exposed to significant claims by clients or their patients, particularly if the access interruption is associated with problems in the timely delivery of medical care.  We must maintain disaster recovery and business continuity plans that rely upon third-party providers of related services, and if those vendors fail us at a time that our center is not operating correctly, we could incur a loss of revenue and liability for failure to fulfill our contractual service commitments.  Any significant instances of system downtime could negatively affect our reputation and ability to sell our remote hosting services.
 
22

 
Any breach of confidentiality of client or patient data in our service center could expose us to significant expense and harm our reputation.
 
We must maintain facility and systems security measures to preserve the confidentiality of data belonging to our clients and their patients that resides on computer equipment in our Technology Solution Center.  Notwithstanding the efforts we undertake to protect data, our measures can be vulnerable to infiltration as well as unintentional lapse, and if confidential information is compromised we could face claims for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws or regulations, significant costs for remediation and re-engineering to prevent future occurrences, and serious harm to our reputation.
 
Recruiting challenges and higher than anticipated costs in outsourcing our clients' IT operations may adversely affect our profitability.
 
We provide outsourcing services that involve operating clients' IT departments using our employees.  At the initiation of these relationships, clients often require us to hire, at substantially the same compensation, the entire IT staff that had been performing the services we take on.  In these circumstances our costs may be higher than we target unless and until we are able to transition the workforce, methods and systems to a more scalable model.  Various factors can make this difficult, including geographic dispersion of client facilities and variation in client needs, IT environments, and system configurations.  Also, under some circumstances we may incur unanticipated costs as a successor employer by inheriting unforeseen liabilities that the client had to these employees.  Further, facilities management contracts require us to provide the IT services specified by contract, and in some places it can be difficult to recruit qualified IT personnel.  Changes in circumstances or failure to assess the client's environment and scope our services accurately can mean we must hire more staff than we anticipated in order to meet our responsibilities.  If we have to increase salaries or relocate personnel, or hire more people than we anticipated, our costs may increase under fixed fee contracts.
 
Inability to obtain consents needed from third parties could impair our ability to provide remote IT or technology services.
 
We and our clients need consent from some third-party software providers as a condition to running their software in our data center, or to allowing our employees who work in client locations under facilities management arrangements to have access to their software.  Vendors' refusal to give such consents, or insistence upon unreasonable conditions to such consents, could reduce our revenue opportunities and make our IT or technology services less viable for some clients.
 
RISKS RELATED TO THE HEALTHCARE IT INDUSTRY AND MARKET
 
We operate in an intensely competitive market that includes companies that have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do.
 
We face intense competition in the marketplace. We are confronted by rapidly changing technology, evolving user needs and the frequent introduction of new software to meet the needs of our current and future clients. Our principal competitors in our software business include Cerner Corporation, Epic Systems Corporation, Medical Information Technology, Inc., GE Healthcare, McKesson Corporation, and Siemens AG. Other software competitors include providers of practice management, general decision support and database systems, as well as segment-specific applications and healthcare technology consultants.  Our services business competes with large consulting firms such as Deloitte & Touche and Cap Gemini, as well as independent providers of technology implementation and other services.  Our outsourcing business competes with large national providers of technology solutions such as IBM Corporation, Computer Sciences Corp., Perot Systems Corporation, as well as smaller firms.  Several of our existing and potential competitors are better established, benefit from greater name recognition and have significantly more financial, technical and marketing resources than we do.  Some competitors, particularly those with a more diversified revenue base or that are privately held, may have greater flexibility than we do to compete aggressively on the basis of price.  Vigorous and evolving competition could lead to a loss of market share or pressure on our prices and could make it more difficult to grow our business profitably.
 
The principal factors that affect competition within our market include software functionality, performance, flexibility and features, use of open industry standards, speed and quality of implementation and client service and support, company reputation, price and total cost of ownership.  We anticipate continued consolidation in both the information technology and healthcare industries and large integrated technology companies may become more active in our markets, both through acquisition and internal investment.  There is a finite number of hospitals and other healthcare providers in our target market.  As costs fall, technology improves, and market factors continue to compel investment by healthcare organizations in software and services like ours, market saturation may change the competitive landscape in favor of larger competitors with greater scale.
 
Clients that use our legacy software are vulnerable to competition.
 
A significant part of our revenue comes from relatively high-margin legacy software that was installed by our clients many years ago. We attempt to convert these clients to our newer generation software, but such conversions require significant investments of time and resources by clients. This reduces our advantage as the incumbent vendor and has allowed our competitors to target these clients, with some success.  If we are not successful in retaining a large portion of these clients by continuing to support legacy software - which is increasingly expensive to maintain - or by converting them to our newer software, our results of operations will be negatively affected.

23


The healthcare industry faces financial constraints that could adversely affect the demand for our software and services.
 
The healthcare industry faces significant financial constraints. For example, the shift to managed healthcare in the 1990's put pressure on healthcare organizations to reduce costs, and the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 dramatically reduced Medicare reimbursement to healthcare organizations. Our software often involves a significant financial commitment by our clients. Our ability to grow our business is largely dependent on our clients' information technology budgets.  If healthcare information technology spending declines or increases more slowly than we anticipate, demand for our software could be adversely affected.
 
Healthcare industry consolidation could impose pressure on our software prices, reduce our potential client base and reduce demand for our software.
 
Many healthcare organizations have consolidated to create larger healthcare enterprises with greater market power. If this consolidation trend continues, it could reduce the size of our target market and give the resulting enterprises greater bargaining power, which may lead to erosion of the prices for our software. In addition, when healthcare organizations combine they often consolidate infrastructure including IT systems, and acquisition of our clients could erode our revenue base.
 
Potential changes in standards applicable to our software could require us to incur substantial additional development costs.
 
Integration and interoperability of the software and systems provided by various vendors are important issues in the healthcare industry.  Market forces or regulatory authorities could cause emergence of software standards applicable to us, and if our software is not consistent with those standards we could be forced to incur substantial additional development costs to conform. For example, the CCHIT is developing comprehensive sets of criteria for the functionality, interoperability, and security of various software modules in our industry. Achieving CCHIT certification is evolving as a de facto competitive requirement, resulting in increased research and development and administrative expense to conform to these requirements.  If our software is not consistent with emerging standards, our market position and sales could be impaired and we may have to change our software.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATING RESULTS, ACCOUNTING CONTROLS AND FINANCES
 
We have a history of operating losses and we cannot predict future profitability.
 
During each of the five preceding years, we had an operating loss. We may incur losses in the future, and it is not certain that we will achieve sustained or increasing profitability. 

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly and may cause our stock price to decline.
 
We have experienced significant variations in revenues and operating results from quarter to quarter. Our operating results may continue to fluctuate due to a number of factors, including:

·  
the performance of our software and our ability to promptly and efficiently address software performance shortcomings or warranty issues;
 
·  
the cost, timeliness and outcomes of our software development and implementation efforts, including expansion of our presence in India;
 
·  
the timing, size and complexity of our software sales and implementations;
 
·  
overall demand for healthcare information technology;
 
·  
the financial condition of our clients and potential clients;
 
·  
market acceptance or our new services, software and software enhancements by us or our competitors;
 
·  
client decisions regarding renewal or termination of their contracts;
 
·  
software and price competition;
 
24

 
·  
personnel changes and other organizational changes and related expenses;
 
·  
significant judgments and estimates made by management in the application of generally accepted accounting principles;
 
·  
healthcare reform measures and healthcare regulation in general; and
 
·  
fluctuations in general economic and financial market conditions; including interest rates.

It is difficult to predict the timing of revenues that we receive from software sales, because the sales cycle can vary depending upon several factors. These include the size and terms of the transaction, the changing business plans of the client, the effectiveness of the client's management, general economic conditions and the regulatory environment. In addition, the timing of our revenue recognition could vary considerably depending upon whether our clients license our software under our subscription model or our traditional licensing arrangements. Because a significant percentage of our expenses are relatively fixed, a variation in the timing of sales and implementations could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our historical results of operations are not necessarily meaningful. Investors should not rely on these comparisons as indicators of future performance.
 
Early termination of client contracts or contract penalties could adversely affect results of operations.
 
Client contracts can change or terminate early for a variety of reasons.  Change of control, financial issues, or other changes in client circumstances may cause us or the client to seek to modify or terminate a contract.  Further, either we or the client may generally terminate a contract for material uncured breach by the other.  If we breach a contract or fail to perform in accordance with contractual service levels, we may be required to refund money previously paid to us by the client, or to pay penalties or other damages.  Even if we have not breached, we may deal with various situations from time to time for the reasons described above which may result in the amendment of a contract.  These steps can result in significant current period charges and/or reductions in current or future revenue.
 
Because in many cases we recognize revenues for our software monthly over the term of a client contract, downturns or upturns in sales will not be fully reflected in our operating results until future periods.
 
We recognize a significant portion of our revenues from clients monthly over the terms of their agreements, which are typically 5-7 years and can be up to 10 years. As a result, much of the revenue that we report each quarter is attributable to agreements executed during prior quarters. Consequently, a decline in sales, client renewals, or market acceptance of our software in one quarter will not necessarily be reflected in lower revenues in that quarter, and may negatively affect our revenues and profitability in future quarters. In addition, we may be unable to adjust our cost structure to compensate for these reduced revenues. This monthly revenue recognition also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenues through additional sales in any period, as a significant portion of revenues from new clients must generally be recognized over the applicable agreement term.
 
Loss of revenue from large clients could have significant negative impact on our results of operations and overall financial condition.
 
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 40% of our revenues were attributable to our 20 largest clients.  In addition, approximately 36% of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2006 were attributable to 20 clients. Loss of revenue from significant clients or failure to collect accounts receivable, whether as a result of client payment default, contract termination, or other factors could have a significant negative impact on our results of operation and overall financial condition.  
  
Impairment of intangible assets could increase our expenses.
 
A significant portion of our assets consists of intangible assets, including capitalized development costs, goodwill and other intangibles acquired in connection with acquisitions.  Current accounting standards require us to evaluate goodwill on an annual basis and other intangibles if certain triggering events occur, and adjust the carrying value of these assets to net realizable value when such testing reveals impairment of the assets.  Various factors, including regulatory or competitive changes, could affect the value of our intangible assets.  If we are required to write-down the value of our intangible assets due to impairment, our reported expenses will increase, resulting in a corresponding decrease in our reported profit.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls could adversely affect our operating results and the market price of our common stock.
 
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we maintain internal control over financial reporting that meets applicable standards. We had a material weakness in maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the requirements of Section 404 (see Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures”), and it is possible that we might in the future have another material weakness in maintaining such effective internal control over financial reporting.  If we are unable, or are perceived as unable, to produce reliable financial reports due to internal control deficiencies, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information and our operating results which could result in a negative market reaction.
 
25

 
Inability to obtain additional financing could limit our ability to conduct necessary development activities and make strategic investments.
 
While our available cash and cash equivalents and the cash we anticipate generating from operations appear at this time to be adequate to meet our foreseeable needs, we could incur significant expenses as a result of unanticipated events in our business or competitive, regulatory, or other changes in our market.  As a result, we may in the future need to obtain additional financing.  If additional financing is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to respond adequately to these changes, which could adversely affect our operating results and the market price of our common stock.  
 
RISK OF LIABILITY TO THIRD PARTIES
 
Our software and content are used to assist clinical decision-making and provide information about patient medical histories and treatment plans. If our software fails to provide accurate and timely information or is associated with faulty clinical decisions or treatment, clients, clinicians or their patients could assert claims against us that could result in substantial cost to us, harm our reputation in the industry and cause demand for our software to decline.
 
We provide software and content that provides practice guidelines and potential treatment methodologies, and other information and tools for use in clinical decision-making, provides access to patient medical histories and assists in creating patient treatment plans. If our software fails to provide accurate and timely information, or if our content or any other element of our software is associated with faulty clinical decisions or treatment, we could have liability to clients, clinicians or patients. The assertion of such claims, whether or not valid, and ensuing litigation, regardless of its outcome, could result in substantial cost to us, divert management's attention from operations and decrease market acceptance of our software. We attempt to limit by contract our liability for damages and to require that our clients assume responsibility for medical care and approve all system rules and protocols. Despite these precautions, the allocations of responsibility and limitations of liability set forth in our contracts may not be enforceable, may not be binding upon patients, or may not otherwise protect us from liability for damages. We maintain general liability and errors and omissions insurance coverage, but this coverage may not continue to be available on acceptable terms or may not be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims against us. In addition, the insurer might disclaim coverage as to any future claim. One or more large claims could exceed our available insurance coverage.
 
Complex software such as ours may contain errors or failures that are not detected until after the software is introduced or updates and new versions are released. It is challenging for us to envision and test our software for all potential problems because it is difficult to simulate the wide variety of computing environments or treatment methodologies that our clients may deploy or rely upon. Despite extensive testing by us and clients, from time to time we have discovered defects or errors in our software, and such defects or errors can be expected to appear in the future.  Defects and errors that are not timely detected and remedied could expose us to risk of liability to clients, clinicians and patients and cause delays in software introductions and shipments, result in increased costs and diversion of development resources, require design modifications or decrease market acceptance or client satisfaction with our software.
 
Our software and our vendors' software that we include in our offering could infringe third-party intellectual property rights, exposing us to costs that could be significant.
 
Infringement or invalidity claims or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims could be asserted or prosecuted against us based upon design or use of software we provide to clients, including software we develop as well as software provided to us by vendors. Regardless of the validity of any claims, defending against these claims could result in significant costs and diversion of our resources, and vendor indemnity might not be available. The assertion of infringement claims could result in injunctions preventing us from distributing our software, or require us to obtain a license to the disputed intellectual property rights, which might not be available on reasonable terms or at all.  We might also be required to indemnify our clients at significant expense.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS AND INITIATIVES
 
We depend on licenses from third parties for rights to some of the technology we use, and if we are unable to continue these relationships and maintain our rights to this technology, our business could suffer.
 
We depend upon licenses for some of the technology used in our software from a number of third-party vendors. Most of these licenses expire within one to five years, can be renewed only by mutual consent and may be terminated if we breach the terms of the license and fail to cure the breach within a specified period of time. We may not be able to continue using the technology made available to us under these licenses on commercially reasonable terms or at all. As a result, we may have to discontinue, delay or reduce software shipments until we obtain equivalent technology, which could hurt our business. Most of our third-party licenses are non-exclusive. Our competitors may obtain the right to use any of the technology covered by these licenses and use the technology to compete directly with us. In addition, if our vendors choose to discontinue support of the licensed technology in the future or are unsuccessful in their continued research and development efforts, particularly with regard to Microsoft, we may not be able to modify or adapt our own software.
 
26

 
Our offering often includes software modules provided by third parties, and if these third parties do not meet their commitments, our relationships with our clients could be impaired.
 
Some of the software modules we offer to clients are provided by third parties.  We often rely upon these third parties to produce software that meets clients' needs and to implement and maintain that software.  If these third parties fail to fulfill their responsibilities, our relationships with affected clients could be impaired, and we could be responsible to clients for the failures.  We might not be able to recover from these third parties for all of the costs we incur as a result of their failures.

If we undertake additional acquisitions, they may be disruptive to our business and could have an adverse effect on our future operations and the market price of our common stock.
 
An important element of our business strategy has been expansion through acquisitions and while there is no assurance that we will complete any future acquisitions, any future acquisitions would involve a number of risks, including the following:

·  
the anticipated benefits from any acquisition may not be achieved. The integration of acquired businesses requires substantial attention from management. The diversion of management’s attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could hurt our business.
 
·  
in future acquisitions, we could issue additional shares of our common stock, incur additional indebtedness or pay consideration in excess of book value, which could have dilutive effect on future net income, if any, per share.
 
·  
new business acquisitions must be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. These acquisitions may generate significant intangible assets and result in substantial related amortization charges to us.

Additional investment will be required to realize the potential of our Sysware and Mosum acquisition. 
 
We must make significant investments of money and management time in software development and infrastructure in order to realize the potential of our acquisition of the business of Sysware and Mosum to (i) have a fully integrated and leverageable laboratory information system to sell to our diversified client base, and (ii) build Mosum's India operations into an integrated development and support organization that can cost-effectively augment our onshore resources. If the additional investment turns out to be more than what we anticipated, this may negatively affect our results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO INDUSTRY REGULATION
 
Potential regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of our software and content as medical devices could impose increased costs, delay the introduction of new software and hurt our business.
 
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, may become increasingly active in regulating computer software or content intended for use in the healthcare setting. The FDA has increasingly focused on the regulation of computer software and computer-assisted products as medical devices under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or the FDC Act. If the FDA chooses to regulate any of our software, or third party software that we resell, as medical devices, it could impose extensive requirements upon us, including the following requiring us to:

·  
seek FDA clearance of pre-market notification submission demonstrating substantial equivalence to a device already legally marketed, or to obtain FDA approval of a pre-market approval application establishing the safety and effectiveness of the software;
 
·  
comply with rigorous regulations governing the pre-clinical and clinical testing, manufacture, distribution, labeling and promotion of medical devices; and
 
·  
comply with the FDC Act regarding general controls including establishment registration, device listing, compliance with good manufacturing practices, reporting of specified device malfunctions and adverse device events.

If we fail to comply with applicable requirements, the FDA could respond by imposing fines, injunctions or civil penalties, requiring recalls or software corrections, suspending production, refusing to grant pre-market clearance or approval of software, withdrawing clearances and approvals, and initiating criminal prosecution. Any FDA policy governing computer products or content, may increase the cost and time to market of new or existing software or may prevent us from marketing our software.
 
27

 
Changes in federal and state regulations relating to patient data could depress the demand for our software and impose significant software redesign costs on us.
 
Clients use our systems to store and transmit highly confidential patient health information and data.  State and federal laws and regulations and their foreign equivalents govern the collection, use, transmission and other disclosures of health information. These laws and regulations may change rapidly and may be unclear or difficult to apply.
 
Federal regulations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, impose national health data standards on healthcare providers that conduct electronic health transactions, healthcare clearinghouses that convert health data between HIPAA-compliant and non-compliant formats and health plans. Collectively, these groups are known as covered entities. The HIPAA standards prescribe transaction formats and code sets for electronic health transactions; protect individual privacy by limiting the uses and disclosures of individually identifiable health information; and require covered entities to implement administrative, physical and technological safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and security of individually identifiable health information in electronic form. Though we are not a covered entity, most of our clients are and require that our software and services adhere to HIPAA standards. Any failure or perception of failure of our software or services to meet HIPAA standards could adversely affect demand for our software and services and force us to expend significant capital, research and development and other resources to modify our software or services to address the privacy and security requirements of our clients. 

States and foreign jurisdictions in which we or our clients operate have adopted, or may adopt, privacy standards that are similar to or more stringent than the federal HIPAA privacy standards. This may lead to different restrictions for handling individually identifiable health information. As a result, our clients may demand information technology solutions and services that are adaptable to reflect different and changing regulatory requirements which could increase our development costs. In the future, federal or state governmental authorities may impose new data security standards or additional restrictions on the collection, use, transmission and other disclosures of health information. We cannot predict the potential impact that these future rules may have on our business. However, the demand for our software and services may decrease if we are not able to develop and offer software and services that can address the regulatory challenges and compliance obligations facing our clients.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR PERSONNEL AND ORGANIZATION

Our growing operations in India expose us to risks specific to international operations that could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
 
As a result of our 2006 acquisition of Mosum, we have a significant workforce employed in India. To date our operations in India have focused primarily upon our laboratory software, but we intend to increase the size and scope of our operations in India to include additional research and development and administrative functions, with the expectation that our India operations will be integral to the Company. This involves significant challenges that are increased by our lack of prior experience managing operations in India. Further, while there are certain cost advantages to operating in India, significant increases in the numbers of foreign businesses that have established operations in India and commensurate competition to attract and retain skilled employees has increased, and will likely continue to increase, compensation costs. As a result of these and other factors there can be no assurance that we will successfully integrate our India operations, or that our India operations will advance our business strategy and provide a satisfactory return on this investment.
 
In addition, our reliance on a workforce in India exposes us to disruptions in the business, political and economic environment in that region. Maintenance of a stable political environment is important to our operations, and terrorist attacks and acts of violence or war may directly affect our physical facilities and workforce or contribute to general instability. Our operations in India may also be affected by trade restrictions, such as tariffs or other trade controls, as well as other factors that may adversely affect our business and operating results.
 
More generally, foreign operations subject us to additional risks including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, varying legislative or regulatory requirements and protections, particularly for intellectual property rights, and cultural differences. Furthermore, remote operations require significant management attention and financial resources.

If we fail to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified technical, marketing, sales and management personnel, our ability to execute our business strategy could be impaired.
 
Our success depends, in significant part, upon the continued services of our key technical, marketing, sales and management personnel, and on our ability to continue to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified employees. Competition for these employees is intense and we maintain at-will employment terms with our employees.  In addition, the process of recruiting personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to execute our business strategy can be difficult, time-consuming and expensive. We believe that our ability to implement our strategic goals depends to a considerable degree on our senior management team. The loss of any member of that team could hurt our business.
 
28

 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR EQUITY STRUCTURE
 
Provisions of our charter documents and Delaware law may inhibit potential acquisition bids that a stockholder may believe is desirable, and the market price of our common stock may be lower as a result.
 
Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 4,900,000 shares of preferred stock. The board of directors can fix the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition of our company. The issuance of preferred stock may result in the loss of voting control to other stockholders. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. In August 2000, our board of directors adopted a stockholder rights plan under which we issued preferred stock purchase rights that would adversely affect the economic and voting interests of a person or group that seeks to acquire us or a 15% or more interest in our common stock without negotiations with our board of directors.
 
Our charter documents contain additional anti-takeover devices including:

·  
only one of the three classes of directors is elected each year;
 
·  
the ability of our stockholders to remove directors without cause is limited;
 
·  
the right of stockholders to act by written consent has been eliminated;
 
·  
the right of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders has been eliminated; and
 
·  
advance notice must be given to nominate directors or submit proposals for consideration at stockholders meetings.

February 8, 2007

Mr. Joe Petro
7 Edgewood Road
Windham, NH 03087

Dear Joe:

I am very pleased to confirm our offer of employment to join Eclipsys Corporation (“Eclipsys”).  We value your abilities and believe you will find our work environment to be both challenging and fulfilling.  We anticipate having you start on February 19, 2007 or as soon as administratively possible following your acceptance of this letter.

Upon joining Eclipsys, you will have the title of Senior Vice President Software Development.  Your initial base salary rate will be $325,000 per year, will be paid pursuant to Eclipsys’ payroll policies and will be subject to applicable withholding deductions.  You will initially be eligible for 20 days of paid vacation time per calendar year, pro-rated for the remainder of the calendar year in which your employment commences, in addition to holiday time in accordance with Eclipsys’ benefits policy.

While you remain an employee in good standing, you also will be eligible to participate in Eclipsys’ incentive programs, formulated by Eclipsys’ management and Board of Directors from time to time.  Your incentive compensation target will initially be $200,000, but the actual incentive amount payable to you will depend upon various factors and except as specifically set forth herein, no incentive payments are guaranteed.  For 2007, 50% of your incentive compensation target (the “Guaranteed Bonus”) will be paid at the time 2007 bonuses are paid to other bonus plan participants, if you remain employed until that date, even if actual performance is below the levels otherwise required under the applicable plan for payment at 50% of target, provided that if Eclipsys terminates your employment without Cause (as defined in Exhibit II) before December 31, 2007, you will receive a portion of the Guaranteed Bonus calculated as the product of the Guaranteed Bonus and a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the date of commencement of your employment until the date of termination of your employment and the denominator of which is the number of days from the date of commencement of your employment until December 31, 2007.  General terms and conditions for Eclipsys’ incentive programs are described in Addendum 1 to Exhibit I to this letter, and additional terms and conditions will be determined and communicated from time to time.

In connection with your employment, you will be granted an option to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Eclipsys common stock and an opportunity to purchase at $.01 per share 50,000 shares of Eclipsys common stock subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, subject to approval by the Eclipsys board of directors.  Eclipsys generally grants stock options to newly hired employees on pre-established grant dates, and your stock option will be granted on the scheduled grant date next following commencement of your employment.  Basic terms of the option and restricted stock are described in Addendum 2 to Exhibit I to this letter, and more detail will be provided with the option and restricted stock documents themselves.

Eclipsys will give you at least 26 weeks’ advance notice before terminating your employment without Cause (as defined in Exhibit II).  This notice is notwithstanding any contrary statement in Exhibit I to this letter and in lieu of any other severance benefits to which you would otherwise be entitled, including without limitation under any severance policy.  During this notice period and unless and until Eclipsys elects to pay you in lieu of notice as described in the following sentence, your employment will continue, your salary will be paid, and other attributes of employment will continue, and you will be required to continue to perform your employment duties and responsibilities or such other duties and responsibilities as Eclipsys may assign to you (unless Eclipsys places you on leave of absence as described below), except that you may search for another position as long as your search efforts do not interfere to an unreasonable degree with the performance of your employment duties. Eclipsys may, in its discretion, terminate your employment and pay you in lieu of some or all of the notice period, either in a lump sum or by continuation of your salary, in which case all attributes of your employment will cease.  As a condition to Eclipsys’ obligation to provide you with this notice or to pay you in lieu of notice, you must, at the commencement of the notice period, sign a release in the form attached to this letter as Exhibit III or in such other form as is satisfactory to Eclipsys in the reasonable exercise of its discretion releasing any and all claims you may have against Eclipsys and any of its affiliates and their personnel arising in connection with your employment or the termination of your employment, such release must become effective following lapse of any applicable revocation period, and you must reconfirm that release at the end of the notice period.  Eclipsys may, in its discretion, place you on leave of absence for any portion or all of the notice period, and during any such leave of absence you will report to Eclipsys and perform employment duties only to the extent requested by Eclipsys, but during any such leave of absence your employment and compensation (as specified herein) and other attributes of employment as described above will continue.  The notice period will terminate if you commence alternative employment or consulting activities or otherwise voluntarily resign your employment, or if an event of Cause as defined in Exhibit II occurs, in any case before the end of the notice period.


 
Eclipsys does not have a conventional headquarters due to distribution of its executive management.  The Board and CEO will consider establishing a conventional headquarters, and if Eclipsys establishes a conventional headquarters and the CEO or the Board determines that your relocation to that headquarters would be in Eclipsys’ best interests, then you may be required to relocate your residence to the area in which the headquarters is located.  If you are required to relocate, Eclipsys will provide you with executive-level relocation benefits, consistent with Eclipsys policies, designed to defray all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the relocation that you incur, provided that you will not be entitled to any adjustment to your compensation to defray any increase in his cost of living resulting from relocation.  If you do not wish to relocate, and consequently you resign or Eclipsys terminates your employment, you will not be entitled to the notice described in the preceding paragraph, and instead will be eligible only for Eclipsys’ standard severance benefits.  Whether or not you relocate your residence, you must spend significant time traveling, as is consistent with your role and necessary or appropriate to execute fully your responsibilities.

During your first days with Eclipsys, you will address administrative matters that are important to our internal business processes.  A member of our Human Resources department will be scheduling your orientation and will contact you regarding your first day.

This letter, the New Hire Information Sheet attached to this letter as Exhibit I and made a part of this letter, your Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement and any written supplement to this letter that references this letter (collectively, the “New Hire Letter”) state the entire understanding between you and Eclipsys and supersede and replace all prior and contemporaneous, oral and written, agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions concerning your offer of employment with Eclipsys. Your signature below confirms that nothing has been represented or promised to you except as specifically set forth in this New Hire Letter.

Joe, it is a pleasure to extend this offer to you and we look forward to having you join the Eclipsys team.  We appreciate the time you have spent with us throughout the recruiting process and ask that you respond to our offer no later than February 12, 2007; after that date this offer will no longer be valid.  If you accept our offer on the terms set forth in this letter and the Exhibits hereto, please sign this letter, the New Hire Information Sheet attached as Exhibit I, and the Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement in the spaces provided and return them in the envelope provided.  The file copies are for your records.  The execution and return of this letter, including agreement to the terms of the Exhibits hereto and the Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement, and completion of the New Hire Information Sheet and I-9 are conditions precedent to your employment.  When you have returned these documents to us, they will govern your employment with Eclipsys.

If you need assistance, or have any questions, please contact Jan Smith at (310) 699-8139.

Sincerely,

/s/ R. Andrew Eckert

New Hire Information Sheet

Annual Base Salary:   Eclipsys conducts annual performance reviews for employees with at least three (3) months’ tenure, typically in the fall of each year, with any merit increases typically becoming effective early in the following year. This schedule is subject to change at the Company’s discretion.  Compensation increases are discretionary, and any merit increases may be pro-rated for employees who have not completed a full year of service.

Paid Time Off:  Paid time off shall accrue and be taken pursuant to Eclipsys’ paid time off benefit policy as set forth in the Eclipsys Employee Handbook.

Benefits:  Subject to eligibility requirements, you will be entitled to participate in company-sponsored benefit programs that are in effect from time to time.  You will receive a copy of benefit plan documents and procedures or receive access to such documents and procedures through Eclipsys’ internal employee web site promptly upon commencement of employment.

Pre- and Post-employment Investigations: As a condition of employment, you have agreed to allow Eclipsys to conduct investigations to verify educational qualifications, prior work experience and certain types of criminal offenses as permitted by law prior to and during the course of employment as the Company sees fit to require.  If such investigation discloses a matter which affects your suitability for employment with the Company, your employment may be terminated without notice or severance compensation.  Suitability for employment shall be determined at the sole discretion of the Company.

I-9 Documentation: To conform to Federal immigration law, we are required, as a condition of employment, to have you complete and sign a Form I-9.  The enclosed form is for informational purposes only.  Please review the Lists of Acceptable Documents on the reverse side of the form to ensure that on your first day of employment you bring the appropriate documents to establish your employment eligibility.  On your first day of employment, you will be asked to sign the Form I-9 and present the specified documents to our Human Resources department for review.

Confidentiality and Inventions:  As a condition of employment with Eclipsys you must execute and deliver to Eclipsys its standard Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement which among other things prohibits you from disclosing or using Eclipsys’ confidential information except in performance of your duties to Eclipsys, provides that inventions or works of authorship that you create in the course of your employment belong to Eclipsys, and prohibits you from bringing confidential information of prior employers or other third parties to Eclipsys or using it in connection with your work for Eclipsys, and restricts certain activities that could harm Eclipsys’ business.

You acknowledge that you have divulged to Eclipsys, and provided copies where applicable of, any and all employment agreements that you are subject to with another organization, including, but not limited to non-competition or non-solicitation obligations.  Eclipsys expects that you will abide by all provisions of any such agreements(s) and requires that you do not disclose or use another company’s confidential or proprietary information in the context of your employment at Eclipsys.

 Best Efforts: You agree that during your employment with Eclipsys, you will devote your best efforts to the performance of your duties and the advancement of Eclipsys and shall not engage in any other employment, profitable activities, or other pursuits which would cause you to utilize or disclose Eclipsys’ confidential information or trade secrets, or reflect adversely on Eclipsys.  This obligation shall include, but is not limited to, obtaining Eclipsys’ consent prior to performing tasks for customers of Eclipsys outside of your customary duties for Eclipsys, giving speeches or writing articles about the business of Eclipsys, improperly using the name of Eclipsys, or identifying your association or position with Eclipsys in a manner that reflects unfavorably upon Eclipsys.
 
Certification:  You agree not to disclose to Eclipsys, or use in your work for Eclipsys, any confidential information and/or trade secrets belonging to others, including without limitation, your prior employers, or any prior inventions made by you and which Eclipsys is not otherwise legally entitled to learn of or use.  Furthermore, you represent to Eclipsys that (i) you are under no contractual or other restrictions or obligations that are inconsistent with your obligations arising in connection with your employment with Eclipsys, and (ii) you have not and will not breach any obligations to any prior employer or other third party during your employment with Eclipsys.

Employment Policies:  Your employment will be subject to Eclipsys’ employment policies as in effect from time to time.  Unless otherwise provided in a separate written commitment to you signed on behalf of Eclipsys by an authorized officer, your employment with Eclipsys will not be a continuation of any previous employment and the terms and conditions of your employment with prior employers, including but not limited to severance benefits, accrued vacation, seniority and other benefits, will not apply to your employment with Eclipsys.  Eclipsys’ Code of Ethics, Employee Handbook and employment policies are available on Eclipsys’ internal employee web site.  The Code of Ethics, Employee Handbook and employment policies contain information regarding Eclipsys’ policies, procedures and benefits that affect you as an employee and you should review them periodically to keep informed about any changes that may be made.  Eclipsys reserves the right to change, alter, supplement or rescind its employment procedures, benefits or policies (other than the employment at-will policy), including its incentive or bonus and severance policies and plans, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion without notice.  You are responsible for reviewing and complying with Eclipsys’ Code of Ethics, Employee Handbook and employment policies and any future additions, amendments or changes to Eclipsys’ Code of Ethics, Employee Handbook and employment policies.



Information Security:  Eclipsys’ information security guidelines are included in a manual and policies available for your review on Eclipsys’ internal employee web site.  It is your responsibility to read these guidelines and policies in detail and to direct any questions regarding your obligations related to information security and data privacy to your immediate supervisor.  Questions or information regarding a security breach involving patient health information or obligations under HIPAA should be directed to the Legal Department.  You will be notified of any changes to these guidelines via email and it is your responsibility to review any such changes by accessing Eclipsys’ internal employee web site.

At-will Employment:  Your employment with Eclipsys is “at-will,” which means it is not for a specified period and may be terminated either by you or Eclipsys at any time with or without cause or advance notice.  Eclipsys’ at-will employment policy can only be modified by a written agreement signed by Eclipsys’ Chief Executive Officer that specifically states that it is changing your at-will status.

It is important for Eclipsys to retain the flexibility to deal with changing circumstances as they arise, and accordingly your position, title, reporting, duties, compensation, work location, and other terms and conditions of your employment, including, without limitation, the terms set forth in the attached letter and this Exhibit I (other than the employment at-will policy), may be changed at any time, from time to time, in Eclipsys’ sole discretion, with or without cause or notice.

Arbitration:  Eclipsys’ goal is to quickly resolve any disputes that may arise with its employees.  Therefore, you and Eclipsys (including its successors, assigns and affiliates) agree that, except as set forth in the Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement, any disputes, disagreements, claims or controversies which relate in any manner to your employment with Eclipsys or the termination thereof, including claims of wrongful termination, breach of contract, public policy violation, harassment, discrimination, defamation, fraud, infliction of emotional distress or other claims under federal, state or local law (excluding unemployment and workers' compensation claims and other claims deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be subject to mandatory arbitration), shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the then existing Rules and Regulations of the American Arbitration Association.  The parties shall pay their own costs of arbitration; provided, however, Eclipsys shall pay such costs of arbitration to the extent it is required to do so to make this agreement enforceable.  All claims shall be governed by the applicable federal and state statutes of limitations.  The parties shall be entitled to conduct adequate discovery and to obtain all remedies available to the parties as if the matter had been tried in court (including, without limitation, the award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party if authorized by statute).  The arbitrator shall issue a written decision which specifies the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the arbitrator's decision is based.  The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties (and shall be subject to judicial review as required by law), and may be entered as a judgment by either you or Eclipsys with any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction.

I acknowledge receipt of a copy of this Exhibit I setting forth terms that govern my employment with Eclipsys Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

Addendum 1 to Exhibit 1 – Incentive Opportunities

Incentive Opportunities: Any target bonus that may be identified for you is not a guarantee that you will receive that amount or any particular amount, and except as specifically set forth in your offer letter, no bonuses are guaranteed.  The actual incentive amount payable to you will be a function of various factors, including Eclipsys’ performance, individual and/or team performance, and the ultimate decision by Eclipsys’ Board of Directors regarding payment of year-end incentives.  In general, to be eligible to participate in the incentive program for a calendar year, you must be employed on or before October 1 of the plan year, and you must be employed in good standing with Eclipsys and not in violation of any Eclipsys policy or any legal or contractual duty to Eclipsys at the time incentive compensation payments for that year are generally made.

Eclipsys’ Management and Board of Directors will determine the specific features of each year's incentive program at their discretion.  Different employees may have different incentive programs, depending upon employment level, responsibilities, and other factors.  Incentive programs may change from year to year, and within any year.  For some years there may be no incentive program, and except as specifically set forth in your offer letter, no incentive or bonus payments are guaranteed.  Additional information about Eclipsys’ annual incentive program is maintained on Eclipsys’ internal employee web site, and is also available upon request from Eclipsys’ HR department.

I acknowledge receipt of a copy of this Addendum 1 to Exhibit I setting forth terms that govern my eligibility for incentive compensation from Eclipsys Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

Addendum 2 to Exhibit 1 – Equity Awards

Stock Options:  In connection with your employment, Eclipsys may issue to you non-qualified options to purchase shares of Eclipsys common stock.  Eclipsys generally grants stock options on pre-established grant dates, and new-hire stock options are generally granted on the scheduled grant date next following commencement of employment. Stock options will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Eclipsys’ common stock on the date of grant, and will vest and become exercisable, contingent upon your continued employment, as described in the applicable notice of grant.  Performance-related conditions to vesting may be imposed in connection with any grant.  Additional stock options may be granted to you in Eclipsys’ discretion, but no additional options are promised.  The form of Notice of Grant for your initial stock option is set forth below in this Addendum 2.

Restricted Stock: In connection with your employment, Eclipsys may grant you the right to purchase shares of Eclipsys common stock that are “restricted” and therefore may not be transferred until vested.  In order to purchase any restricted stock, you must be party to a restricted stock agreement in form specified by Eclipsys.  Shares of restricted stock will vest and become exercisable, contingent upon your continued employment, as described in the applicable notice of grant.  Performance-related conditions to vesting may be imposed in connection with any restricted stock.  Additional restricted stock may be granted to you in Eclipsys’ discretion, but no additional stock is promised.  The form of Restricted Stock Agreement and Notice of Grant for your initial restricted stock is set forth below in this Addendum 2

All equity awards granted to you are governed by Eclipsys’ Stock Incentive Plan (or its successor or replacement plan) and any terms or conditions imposed by Eclipsys in connection with the equity awards, and by your acceptance of equity awards you agree that such awards, and your rights and obligations thereunder, will be governed thereby.  No representations or promises are made to you regarding the grant date or exercise price of your stock options, the value of Eclipsys stock or options, or Eclipsys’ business prospects.  A notice of grant, a copy of the option plan, and a prospectus will be made available to you in connection with each equity award.  Additional information about investment in Eclipsys stock, including financial information and related risks, is contained in Eclipsys’ SEC reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K.  The equity plan and prospectus and Eclipsys’ recent SEC reports are available from Eclipsys’ HR department or through your recruiter for your review at any time before you accept your employment offer or at any time during your employment. In addition, after commencement of your employment, these documents will be available for your review on Eclipsys’ internal employee web site.  Eclipsys does not provide tax advice and recommends that you consult with a tax specialist if you have any tax related questions about any payments or other compensation described in this letter.

If you violate legal or contractual obligations to the Company, the Company may be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to cancel equity awards made to you, require you to return to the Company any shares you obtained through equity awards, or pay to the Company any gross income you received upon sale of such shares.  The Company may confirm these terms in the notice of grant documenting an equity award to you, and/or by separate agreement that you may be required to sign as a condition to receipt of any equity award.

I acknowledge receipt of a copy of this Addendum 2 to Exhibit I setting forth terms that govern my receipt of any equity awards in connection with my employment with Eclipsys Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

Effective ___________ (the “Grant Date”), you have been granted a non-statutory option to buy «TotalShares» shares of common stock of Eclipsys Corporation (the "Company") at an exercise price of $_________ per share.  This option vests and becomes exercisable (i) with respect to 20% of the underlying shares on the first day of the calendar month immediately following the first anniversary of the Grant Date (the “First Vesting Date”); and (ii) with respect to the remaining 80% of the underlying shares in 48 equal consecutive monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month following the First Vesting Date, provided that vesting will not occur if you are not employed with the Company (as defined in the Plan) on the scheduled vesting date.  This option will terminate ten years after the grant date if not earlier terminated or exercised.
The option is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of this notice, the Company's 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and any other applicable written agreement between you and the Company.  By your acceptance of this option, and also by its exercise, you agree to such terms and conditions and confirm that your receipt and exercise of this option is voluntary.
 
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or a separate written agreement between you and the Company signed by an executive officer of the Company, (i) no vesting will occur before the First Vesting Date, vesting of the option will occur only on scheduled vesting dates, without any ratable vesting for periods of time between vesting dates, and any termination of your employment for any reason or no reason (unless you are then or are becoming a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) will result in cessation of vesting and lapse of the option to the extent not yet vested at the time of termination; (ii) vested options may be exercised only for a period of 90 days following termination of your employment (or 365 days following termination if your employment ends as a result of death); and (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, vesting will be suspended during the portion of any leave of absence (LOA) you have in excess of 180 days, and if you return to work following such a LOA, any scheduled vesting dates that passed during the suspension of vesting will be added to the end of the original vesting schedule, with vesting on each such additional vesting date in the amount of shares not vested on the corresponding vesting date during the period of the suspension, contingent upon your continue employment.  
 
As a condition to vesting and exercise of this option, you must enter into the Eclipsys Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement, in the standard form generally used for all new employees.  If you breach in any material respect the Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement between you and the Company, or any other contract between you and the Company, or your common law duty of confidentiality or trade secret protection, and you fail to cure that breach in full within ten days of notice and demand for cure by the Company, then such breach shall entitle the Company, in its discretion and in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies available to it, to do any or all of the following: (1) cancel and terminate as of the date of such breach any unvested and/or unexercised portion of this stock option; (2) require you to disgorge to the Company the net income you earned from any shares received by you upon exercise of this option that you transferred at any time from 12 months before such breach until 30 days after the Company learned of such breach, and for this purpose net income means the sales price less the exercise price less applicable income taxes you paid in connection with such shares; (3) require you to tender back to the Company any share of Company stock you own that you acquired upon the exercise of this stock option at a price equal to the exercise price you paid for such share; and/or (4)  obtain injunctive relief or other similar remedy in any court with appropriate jurisdiction in order to specifically enforce the provisions hereof.  The Company may suspend any exercise of this option pending cure of any such breach.
 
Unless otherwise permitted by the Company’s Board of Directors, you must pay the exercise price and meet any tax obligations in cash.  The option expires on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date or such earlier date as the Plan provides.
 
For purposes of this option, the definition of “Good Reason” under the Plan shall be as follows, notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary:  “Good Reason” shall mean any significant diminution in the Participant’s responsibilities from and after such Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event, as the case may be, or any reduction in the annual cash compensation (base salary plus target bonus) payable to the Participant from and after such Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event, as the case may be.
 
The Prospectus for the Plan, the Plan document, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available for your review on the Company’s internal employee web site.  You may also obtain paper copies of these documents upon request to the Company’s HR department.
 
No representations or promises are made regarding the duration of your employment or service, vesting of the option, the value of the Company's stock or this option, or the Company's prospects.  The Company provides no advice regarding tax consequences or your handling of this option; you agree to rely only upon your own personal advisors.

Form of Restricted Stock Agreement

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

This Restricted Stock Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of _____________ by Eclipsys Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Eclipsys") and ____________________ ("Recipient") to govern awards of restricted stock by Eclipsys to Recipient made from time to time pursuant to Grant Notices (as defined below) that reference this Agreement as governing the awards reflected therein.

1.           Grants of Restricted Stock.  From time to time in its discretion, Eclipsys may grant and issue to Recipient shares of Eclipsys's common stock that are subject to the restrictions described in, and other provisions of, this Agreement (the "Restricted Stock").  No grants of Restricted Stock are promised by this Agreement.  Each grant of Restricted Stock will be documented by a written notice delivered by Eclipsys to Recipient (a “Grant Notice”) stating: (i) that the Restricted Stock described therein is subject to this Agreement, (ii) the number of shares of Restricted Stock subject to the grant, (iii) the schedule and any other conditions for vesting of the Restricted Stock, and (iv) such other terms and conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock as Eclipsys may determine.  As a condition to each grant of Restricted Stock, Recipient is required to pay to Eclipsys $.01 by cash or check for each share of Restricted Stock (the "Acquisition Consideration").

2.           Governing Plan.  The Restricted Stock shall be granted pursuant to and (except as specifically set forth herein or in another written agreement between Eclipsys and Recipient) subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Eclipsys Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Plan or its successor plan (the "Plan"), which are incorporated herein by reference.  Terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

3.           Restrictions on the Restricted Stock.

(a)           Limitation on Transfer.  The Restricted Stock (including any shares received by Recipient with respect to shares of Restricted Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting Eclipsys's securities without receipt of consideration) may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered unless and until the conditions to vesting set forth in the Grant Notice are met and any additional requirements or restrictions contained in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan have been satisfied, terminated or expressly waived by Eclipsys in writing.  However, this will not prohibit nominal transfers of Restricted Stock for estate planning purposes that do not effect a change in beneficial ownership, if the transferee agrees in writing to the terms of this Agreement.  Satisfaction of the conditions to vesting set forth in the Grant Notice and any additional requirements or restrictions contained in this Agreement, and the resulting removal of the restrictions imposed hereunder from particular shares of Restricted Stock, is also referred to as “vesting” of those shares and shares from which the restrictions have been removed are referred to as “vested.”
 
(b)           Cancellation of Restricted Stock.  Notwithstanding Section 3(a), but subject to the Plan, any applicable Grant Notice, and any other separate written agreement between Eclipsys and Recipient, if any Cancellation Event occurs, then (i) vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock originally scheduled to vest after the time that Cancellation Event occurred will cease; (ii) any grant insofar as it relates to Restricted Stock that has not yet vested will be cancelled; (iii) unvested Restricted Stock will be forfeited to Eclipsys and all rights of Recipient as a stockholder of such shares will cease; (iv) Eclipsys shall be obligated to pay to Recipient, by cash or equivalent or by cancellation of amounts owed by Recipient to Eclipsys or any Affiliate, the Acquisition Consideration per share previously received from Recipient in respect of all shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited to Eclipsys; and (v) Recipient shall have no rights to or in respect of shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited to Eclipsys except the right to receive the Acquisition Consideration in respect thereof.  In case of a Cancellation Event, any partially vested share will be rounded up to the nearest whole share for purposes of determining the number of shares that are forfeited to Eclipsys.  For these purposes, if Recipient is an employee of Eclipsys or any of its present or future parent or subsidiary corporations (each an “Affiliate”) as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), a “Cancellation Event” means, and shall be deemed to occur upon, the cessation of Recipient’s employment with Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates or its successor (other than in situations in which the Recipient is or is becoming a member of the Board of Directors of Eclipsys) for any reason, including without limitation resignation by Recipient with or without good reason, or termination of employment by Eclipsys or any Affiliate or its successor with or without cause .  If Recipient is a member of the Board of Directors of Eclipsys, a Cancellation Event means, and shall be deemed to occur upon, cessation of Recipient’s service as a director of Eclipsys, unless at the time of such cessation Recipient is then an employee of Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates, in which case Recipient shall thereafter be treated as an employee for these purposes.

4.           Voting and Other Rights.  During the period prior to vesting, except as otherwise provided herein, Recipient will have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to all of the Restricted Stock, including without limitation the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the right to receive all dividends or other distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock.  In connection with the payment of such dividends or other distributions, Eclipsys will be entitled to deduct from any amounts otherwise payable by Eclipsys to Recipient (including without limitation salary or other compensation), except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or regulation, any taxes or other amounts required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over or deposited to such authority for Recipient's account.



5.           Handling of Shares.

(a)           Certificates or Book Entries.  Eclipsys may in its discretion issue physical certificates representing Restricted Stock, or cause the Restricted Stock to be recorded in book entry form and reflected in records maintained by or for Eclipsys.  Each certificate or data base entry representing any unvested portion of any Restricted Stock may be endorsed with a legend substantially as set forth below, as well as such other legends as Eclipsys may deem appropriate to comply with applicable laws and regulations:

The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to certain limitations on transfer and other restrictions as set forth in that certain Restricted Stock Agreement, dated as of _______________, between Eclipsys and the holder of such securities, the Eclipsys Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (copies of which are available for inspection at the offices of Eclipsys), and the notice of grant applicable to the securities.
 
(b)           Escrow.  With respect to each unvested share of Restricted Stock (including any shares received by Recipient with respect to shares of Restricted Stock that have not yet vested as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting Eclipsys's securities without receipt of consideration), the Secretary of Eclipsys, or such other escrow holder as the Secretary may appoint, will retain physical custody of any certificate representing such share until such share vests.

(c)  Delivery of Certificates.  As soon as practicable after the vesting of any Restricted Stock and upon request by Recipient, but subject to Section 5(d), Eclipsys will deliver to Recipient or Recipient’s designee a certificate(s) free of restrictive legends representing such vested Restricted Stock, or cause appropriate book entry or other electronic changes to be made to reflect Recipient’s ownership of such vested Restricted Stock free of restrictions, in any case net of the number of shares withheld by Eclipsys in payment of tax pursuant to Section 6(a).

(d)           Conditions to Vesting.  At the time for vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock, and as a condition to vesting, Recipient must, if requested by Eclipsys, make appropriate representations in a form satisfactory to Eclipsys that such Restricted Stock will not be sold other than (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act; (B) in compliance with all applicable state securities laws and regulations; and (C) in compliance with all terms and conditions of the Plan, the applicable Grant Notice, any applicable policy of Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates, and any other written agreement between Recipient and Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates.

6.           Tax Matters.

(a)           Recipient’s Tax Obligations.  The vesting of Restricted Stock generally results in taxable income for employees and is subject to appropriate income tax withholding, deposits, or other deductions required by applicable laws or regulations.  Subject to any separate written agreement between Recipient and Eclipsys, Recipient and Recipient’s successors will be responsible for all income and other taxes payable as a result of grant or vesting of Restricted Stock or otherwise in connection with this Agreement.  All obligations of Eclipsys or its Affiliates to pay tax deposits to any federal, state or other taxing authority as a result of grant or vesting of Restricted Stock will result in a commensurate obligation of Recipient to reimburse Eclipsys or its Affiliate the amount of such tax deposits.  Such obligation of Recipient shall, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Grant Notice or in a separate written agreement between Eclipsys and Recipient, be satisfied by the Recipient forfeiting and Eclipsys  deducting and retaining from the shares vesting at any particular time that number of shares with a value equal to the amount of the required minimum tax withholdings that Eclipsys or its Affiliate is required to pay as a result of such vesting, with such value measured by the same value per share used by Eclipsys or its Affiliate to determine its tax deposit obligation and based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to supplemental wages.  If Eclipsys or its Affiliate is required to pay additional tax deposits after the initial issuance to Recipient of the net number of vested shares, Eclipsys or its Affiliate may require Recipient to make up the difference in cash.  If the tax deposits paid are less than Recipient’s tax obligations, Recipient is solely responsible for any additional taxes due.  If Eclipsys or its Affiliate pays tax deposits in excess of Recipient’s tax obligations, Recipient’s sole recourse will be against the relevant taxing authorities, and Eclipsys and its Affiliates will have no obligation to issue additional shares or pay cash to Recipient in respect thereof.  Recipient is responsible for determining Recipient’s actual income tax liabilities and making appropriate payments to the relevant taxing authorities to fulfill Recipient’s tax obligations and avoid interest and penalties.

(b)           Section 83(b) Election.  Recipient understands that Recipient may make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code (by filing an election with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the date Recipient acquired the Restricted Stock) to include in Recipient's gross income the fair market value (as of the date of acquisition) of the Restricted Stock.  Recipient may make such an election under Section 83(b), or comparable provisions of any state tax law, only if, prior to making any such election, Recipient (a) notifies Eclipsys of Recipient's intention to make such election, by delivering to Eclipsys a copy of the fully-executed Section 83(b) Election Form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (b) pays to Eclipsys an amount sufficient to satisfy any taxes or other amounts required by any governmental authority to be withheld or paid over to such authority for Recipient's account, or otherwise makes arrangements satisfactory to Eclipsys for the payment of such amounts through withholding or otherwise.  Recipient understands that if Recipient has not made a proper and timely Section 83(b) election, at the time the forfeiture restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock lapse, Section 83 will generally provide that Recipient will recognize ordinary income and be taxed in an amount equal to the fair market value (as of the date the forfeiture restrictions lapse) of the Restricted Stock less the Acquisition Consideration paid for the Restricted Stock.  For this purpose, the term "forfeiture restrictions" includes the right of Eclipsys to acquire the Restricted Stock pursuant to its rights under Section 3 of this Agreement.  Recipient acknowledges that it is Recipient's sole responsibility, and not the responsibility of Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates, to file a timely election under Section 83(b), even if Recipient requests Eclipsys or its representative to make this filing on Recipient's behalf.  Recipient is relying solely on Recipient's advisors with respect to the decision as to whether or not to file a Section 83(b) election.



7.           Additional Agreements

(a)           Independent Advice; No Representations.  Recipient acknowledges that (i) Recipient was and is free to use professional advisors of Recipient’s choice in connection with this Agreement and any grant of Restricted Stock, that Recipient understands this Agreement and the meaning and consequences of receiving grants of Restricted Stock, and is entering into this Agreement freely and without coercion or duress; and (ii) Recipient has not received and is not relying, and will not rely, upon any advice, representations or assurances made by or on behalf of Eclipsys or any Affiliate or any employee of or counsel to Eclipsys or any Affiliate regarding any tax or other effects or implications of the Restricted Stock or other matters contemplated by this Agreement or any Grant Notice.

(b)           Value of Restricted Stock.  No representations or promises are made to Recipient regarding the value of the Restricted Stock or the business prospects of Eclipsys or any Affiliate.  Recipient acknowledges that information about investment in Eclipsys stock, including financial information and related risks, is contained in Eclipsys’s SEC reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, which have been made available from Eclipsys’s Human Resources department and/or on Eclipsys’s internal web site for Recipient’s review at any time before Recipient’s acceptance of this Agreement or at any time during Recipient’s employment or service. Further, Recipient understands that Eclipsys and its Affiliates and their respective employees, counsel and other representatives do not provide tax or investment advice and acknowledges Eclipsys’s recommendation that Recipient consult with independent specialists regarding such matters.  Sale or other transfer of Eclipsys stock may be limited by and subject to policies of Eclipsys or its Affiliates as well as applicable securities laws and regulations.

(c)           Merger, Consolidation or Reorganization.  In the event of a Reorganization of Eclipsys in which holders of shares of Common Stock of Eclipsys are entitled to receive in respect of such shares any additional shares or new or different shares or securities, cash or other consideration (including, without limitation, a different number of shares of Common Stock) ("Exchange Consideration"), then Recipient will be entitled to receive a proportionate share of the Exchange Consideration in exchange for any Restricted Stock that is then still owned by Recipient and not cancelled; provided that, subject to any Grant Notice or other separate written agreement between Eclipsys and Recipient, any Exchange Consideration issued to Recipient in respect of unvested Restricted Stock will be subject to the same restrictions and vesting provisions that were applicable to the Restricted Stock in exchange for which the Exchange Consideration was issued.

(d)           No Right to Continued Employment or Service; No Positive Inference.  Neither this Agreement nor any grant of Restricted Stock confers upon Recipient any right to continue as an employee, director or consultant of, or in any other relationship with, Eclipsys or its Affiliates, or to any particular employment or service tenure or minimum vesting of Restricted Stock, or limits in any way the right of Eclipsys or its Affiliates to terminate Recipient's services to Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates at any time, with or without cause.  Restricted Stock is to motivate and reward future performance, and no grant of Restricted Stock will be interpreted as a reward for past performance that dictates vesting in advance of the vesting schedule specified in the applicable Grant Notice, or an indication that the Recipient has performed well or is entitled to any particular employment or service tenure.

(e)           Remedy for Breach of Legal Obligations.  As a condition to vesting of any Restricted Stock, Recipient must enter into the Eclipsys Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement, in the standard form generally used for all new employees.  If Recipient breaches in any material respect the Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement between Recipient and the Company, or any other contract between Recipient and the Company, or Recipient’s common law duty of confidentiality or trade secret protection, and Recipient fails to cure that breach in full within ten days of notice and demand for cure by the Company, then such breach shall entitle the Company, in its discretion and in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies available to it, to do any or all of the following:
 
(1) repurchase from Recipient any shares of Restricted Stock still owned by Recipient, whether or not vested, at the Acquisition Consideration, whereupon any rights of Recipient to such repurchased shares of Restricted Stock will cease;
 
(2) require Recipient to disgorge to the Company the gross income Recipient earned (i.e. sales price less Acquisition Consideration) upon transfer by Recipient, at any time from 12 months before such breach until 12 months after the Company learned of such breach, of any shares of Restricted Stock; and/or
 
(3) obtain injunctive relief or other similar remedy in any court with appropriate jurisdiction in order to specifically enforce the provisions hereof.
 
The Company may suspend any vesting or transfer of Restricted Stock pending cure of any such breach.
 
8.           General.

(a)           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement is personal in its nature and Recipient may not assign or transfer Recipient’s rights under this Agreement, except as specifically provided herein or permitted by Eclipsys in writing.

(b)           Notices.  Any notices, demands or other communications required or desired to be given by any party shall be in writing and shall be validly given to another party if served personally or if deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.  If such notice, demand or other communication shall be served personally, service shall be conclusively deemed made at the time of such personal service.  If such notice, demand or other communication is given by mail, such notice shall be conclusively deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after the deposit thereof in the United States mail addressed to the party to whom such notice, demand or other communication is to be given as hereinafter set forth:




To Eclipsys:                        Eclipsys, Inc.
1750 Clint Moore Road
Boca Raton, Florida 33487
Attention:  General Counsel

To Recipient:                      At Recipient’s address of record as maintained in Eclipsys’s employment files

Any party may change its address for the purpose of receiving notices, demands and other communications by providing written notice to the other party in the manner described in this paragraph.

(c)           Entire Agreement. Except as this Agreement and/or another written agreement between Eclipsys and Recipient may expressly provide otherwise, this Agreement, the Plan, and any Grant Notices constitute the entire agreement and understanding of Eclipsys (together with its Affiliates) and Recipient with respect to Restricted Stock, and supersede all prior written or verbal agreements and understandings between Recipient and Eclipsys (together with its Affiliates) relating to such subject matter.  Recipient has not received and is not relying upon, and will not rely upon, any representations by any employee of or counsel to or other representative of Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or any grant of Restricted Stock hereunder.  This Agreement may only be amended by written instrument signed by Recipient and an authorized officer of Eclipsys.

(d)           Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements executed and to be wholly performed within the State of Delaware. If any provision of this Agreement as applied to any party or to any circumstance is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity of that provision shall in no way affect (to the maximum extent permissible by law) the application of such provision under circumstances different from those adjudicated by the court, the application of any other provision of this Agreement, or the enforceability or invalidity of this Agreement as a whole.  If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by reason of the scope, extent or duration of its coverage, then such provision shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable or, if such provision cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties, then such provision will be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

(e)           Remedies.  All rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement or by law shall be cumulative, and no such right or remedy shall be exclusive of any other.  A party may pursue any one or more rights or remedies hereunder or may seek damages or specific performance in the event of another party’s breach hereunder or may pursue any other remedy by law or equity, whether or not stated in this Agreement.

(f)           Arbitration. Any and all disputes and claims between Recipient and Eclipsys that arise out of this Agreement shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration.  Any claim under this Agreement must be commenced by a claimant within 365 days of the date on which the cause of action accrues (unless a contractual limitation on duration of claims is impermissible or a longer period of time is required by law, in which case the end of the minimum required period will be the deadline for commencing claims), or it will be deemed waived.  Binding arbitration will be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association.  Recipient understands and agrees that the arbitration shall be instead of any civil litigation and that this means that Recipient is waiving Recipient’s right to a jury trial as to such claims.  The parties further understand and agree that the arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding to the fullest extent permitted by law and enforceable by any court having jurisdiction.  If and to the extent necessary to make this arbitration provision enforceable, Eclipsys shall pay the arbitrator’s compensation and any fees for the arbitration, unless the arbitrator directs otherwise in the award, or unless the law where the arbitration occurs provides otherwise.

(g)           Interpretation. Headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement, and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  References herein to Sections are references to the referenced Section hereof, unless otherwise specified.

(h)           Waivers; Amendments.  The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any later breach of that provision.  This Agreement may be modified only by written agreement signed by Recipient and Eclipsys.

(i)           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  Facsimile or photographic copies of originally signed copies of this Agreement will be deemed to be originals.

Effective ___________ (the “Grant Date”), you have been granted the right to purchase, at a price of $0.01 per share, [No. of shares] shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of Eclipsys Corporation (the "Company").  You must pay the aggregate purchase price for the Shares to the Company by cash, check or other method acceptable to the Company within 30 days of the date of this Notice or the Company may cancel the grant.
This notice is a “Grant Notice” as described in the Restricted Stock Agreement between you and the Company (the “Agreement”).  This grant is made under, and this grant and the Shares are subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of, this notice, the Agreement including the restrictions on transfer set forth therein, the Company's 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and any other applicable written agreement between you and the Company.  By your acceptance and payment for the Shares, you agree to such terms and conditions and confirm that your receipt of and payment for the Shares is voluntary.
 
For purposes of this Notice, (i) “Vesting Date” means each June 1 and December 1; and (ii) a complete calendar month will begin on the first day of each calendar month and end on the last day of that calendar month.  Subject to the Agreement, on the Vesting Date that is on or immediately following the first anniversary of the Grant Date (the “First Vesting Date”), there shall vest a number of the Shares equal to the sum of (A) 20% of the total number of Shares and (B) a number of Shares equal to the product of 1.667% of the total number of Shares and the number of complete calendar months, if any, elapsed during the period beginning on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and ending on the First Vesting Date.  On each of the eight Vesting Dates next succeeding the First Vesting Date, there shall vest an additional number of Shares equal to 10% of the total number of Shares, except that the number of Shares vesting on the last of such eight succeeding Vesting Dates will be less than 10% of the total number of Shares if and to the extent that the number of Shares Vesting on the First Vesting Date exceeded 20% of the total number of Shares.
 
Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement or in another written agreement between you and the Company, (i) no Shares will vest before the First Vesting Date; (ii) vesting of Shares will occur only on Vesting Dates, without any ratable vesting for periods of time between Vesting Dates; (iii) any termination of your employment for any reason or no reason will result in cessation of vesting, cancellation of this grant, and forfeiture to the Company of any Shares not vested at the time your employment terminates (unless you are then or are becoming a member of the Board of Directors of the Company); and (iv) notwithstanding the foregoing, vesting will be suspended during the portion of any leave of absence (LOA) you have in excess of 180 days, and if you return to work following such a LOA, any Vesting Dates that passed during the suspension of vesting will be added to the end of the original vesting schedule, with vesting on each such additional Vesting Date in the amount of shares not vested on the corresponding Vesting Date during the period of the suspension, contingent upon your continued employment.

For purposes of this grant and the Shares, the definition of “Good Reason” under the Plan shall be as follows, notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary:  “Good Reason” shall mean any significant diminution in the Participant’s responsibilities from and after such Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event, as the case may be, or any reduction in the annual cash compensation (base salary plus target bonus) payable to the Participant from and after such Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event, as the case may be.
 
The Prospectus for the Plan, the Plan document and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available for your review on the Company’s internal employee web site.  You may also obtain paper copies of these documents upon request to the Company’s HR department.

(b)           Exceptions.  However, Released Matters do not include, and nothing in this Release waives or releases or prevents Employee from in any way pursuing any rights or claims Employee may have (i) to indemnity and defense from the Company pursuant to provisions of the Company’s charter documents, any contract of indemnity, or applicable law; (ii) to coverage under policies of insurance maintained by the Company (including without limitation insurance covering directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary liability, employment practices liability, general liability, and automobile damage and liability) according to the terms of such policies; (iii) to the Notice Benefit; (iv) to reimbursement of expenses properly incurred by Employee in the course of Employee’s service to the Company; (v) under plans or contracts governing equity awards made to Employee; (vi) as a former employee under the Company’s retirement and welfare plans under which Employee is a beneficiary or in which Employee is a participant, including without limitation the Company’s 401(k) plan and plans or policies or insurance providing for health care; (vi) as a stockholder of the Company; or (vii) to file an EEOC charge, or participate in an EEOC investigation.  Nothing in this Section 2(b) or any other provision of this Release limits Employee’s right to challenge the validity of this Release under the ADEA.  However, Employee waives all rights to recover money or other individual relief in connection with any such challenge or any administrative charge, whether filed by Employee, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, any other federal, state or local agency, or anyone else.

(c)  Waiver.  If Employee is employed or resides in California, or another state with law similar to California Civil Code Section 1542, Employee hereby waives his rights under such law.  California Civil Code Section 1542 provides as follows:

"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."



Employee, being aware of Section 1542, hereby expressly waives any and all rights Employee may have thereunder as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect under the laws of any state or the United States.

(d)  Reaffirmation.  Employee must reaffirm this Release as of his final day of employment, so that this Release has legal effect as of such date as well as of the original date hereof.

3.           No Claims.  Employee represents and warrants that Employee has not instituted any complaints, lawsuite or other proceedings against any Released Parties with any court or arbitration authority.  Employee further agrees that, except as permitted under Section 2(b) above or to the extent that applicable law prohibits such agreements, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, (i) file, bring, cause to be brought, join or participate in, or provide any assistance in connection with any complaint, lawsuit or other proceeding or action against any Released Parties at any time hereafter for any Released Matters, (ii) assist, encourage, or support employees or former employees or stockholders or former stockholders of the Company or any of its affiliates in connection with any lawsuit, claim or action they may initiate, unless compelled to testify by appropriate civil processes; or (iii) defend any action, proceeding or suit in whole or in part on the grounds that any or all of the terms or provisions of this Release are illegal, invalid, not binding, unenforceable or against public policy.  In addition, Employee will refrain from bringing or dismiss, as applicable, any claim against any third party if any Released Party would be required to defend or indemnify that third party in connection with such claim.  If any court assumes jurisdiction of any complaint, charge, or lawsuit against the Company or any Released Party, on Employee’s behalf, Employee agrees to immediately notify such court, in writing, of the existence of this Release, including providing a copy of it and to request, in writing, that such court dismiss the matter with prejudice.

4.           Business Expenses and Compensation.   Employee acknowledges that Employee has been reimbursed by the Company for all costs and business expenses incurred in conjunction with the performance of Employee’s employment and that no other reimbursements are owed to Employee, except for unreimbursed expenses properly incurred by Employee in the course of Employee’s service to the Company that Employee submits within 30 days after the date of this Release, which the Company will pay in accordance with its policies.   Employee further acknowledges and agrees that Employee has received all amounts the Company owes or is obligated to pay to Employee in respect of wages, salary, benefits and all other payment for all services rendered in conjunction with Employee’s employment by the Company, and that no other compensation is owed to Employee, other than the Notice Benefit.

(c)           Non-Disclosure and Non-Solicitation.  Employee acknowledges and reaffirms Employee’s obligation to keep confidential all non-public information concerning the Company which Employee acquired during the course of Employee’s employment with the Company.  Employee shall not violate Employee’s obligations under the Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement that Employee entered into in connection with his employment with the Company, which remains in full force and effect.

(d)           Assistance.  Employee shall (i) cooperate with and assist the Company in the orderly transition of Employee’s employment responsibilities, (ii) be available to provide information, advice and reasonable assistance (not to impair in any material respect his ability to focus on his other pursuits) to the Company regarding matters of which Employee has knowledge as a result of Employee’s prior employment by the Company and/or its subsidiaries and their predecessors, and (iii) consistent with applicable law, assist and cooperate in the investigation, prosecution or defense of any actual or threatened court action, arbitration or administrative proceeding involving any matter that arose, or relates to fact or circumstances occurring, during the period of Employee’s employment with the Company.

(e)           Remedy for Breach of Legal Obligations.  If Employee breaches in any material respect this Release or the Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement that Employee entered into in connection with his employment with the Company, or any other written agreement between Employee and the Company, and Employee fails to cure that breach in full within ten days of notice and demand for cure by the Company, then except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, such breach shall entitle the Company, in its discretion and in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies available to it, to do any or all of the following: (1) cancel and terminate Employee’s right to receive the Notice Benefit or any other severance benefit; and/or (2) obtain injunctive relief or other similar remedy in any court with appropriate jurisdiction in order to specifically enforce the provisions hereof.  Eclipsys may suspend any payments pursuant to the Notice Benefit pending cure of any such breach.  However, notwithstanding this Section 5(e), Employee will in any event be entitled to receive and retain a minimum of four weeks’ Notice Benefit as consideration for this Release.

(b)           Waiver of Rights.   No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Release shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right.  A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any right on any other occasion.
