While employed by the Company hereunder, Executive covenants to the Company that he will devote his entire business time, energy, attention and skill to the Company (except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity), and use his good faith best efforts to promote the interests of the Company. The foregoing shall not be construed as prohibiting Executive from spending such time as may be reasonably necessary to attend to Executive’s personal affairs and investments so long as such activities do not conflict or interfere with Executive’s obligations and/or timely performance of his duties to the Company.

     1.5 Executive Representations and Warranties as to Employability. Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

     (a) The execution, delivery and performance by Executive of this Agreement and any other agreements contemplated hereby to which Executive is a party do not and shall not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Executive is a party or by which he is bound;

     (b) Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, non-competition agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity (or if a party to such an agreement, Executive has disclosed the material terms thereof to the Board prior to the execution hereof and promptly after the date hereof shall deliver a copy of such agreement to the Board);

     (c) Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms; and

     (d) Executive hereby acknowledges and represents that he has been given the opportunity to consult with independent legal counsel regarding Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.

ARTICLE II
PERIOD OF EMPLOYMENT

     2.1 Employment Period. Executive’s employment hereunder shall commence on Executive’s signing of this Agreement, and shall continue hereunder until the date fixed by the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof, subject to the early termination provisions of Article V hereof (the “Employment Period”).

     2.2 Initial Term of Employment Period and Extension Terms. The Employment Period shall initially continue for a term commencing on the date set forth in Section 2.1, above, and ending on December 31, 2008 (the “Initial Term”). The Employment Period shall be automatically extended for successive one (1) calendar year periods following the expiration of the Initial Term (each period being hereinafter referred to as an “Extension Term”) upon the same terms and conditions provided for herein

unless either party provides the other party with advance written notice of its or Executive’s intention not to extend the Employment Period; provided, however, that such notice must be delivered by the non-extending party to the other party not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Extension Term, as the case may be. If the Employment Period is not extended as a result of notice to Executive by the Company, and Executive’s employment with the Company terminates as a result thereof, then the termination shall not be deemed a Termination by the Company Without Cause and Executive shall be entitled only to the benefits provided in Section 5.2(a) and the medical insurance premium payment benefits described in subsection 5.2(b)(iv) of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III
COMPENSATION

     3.1 Annual Base Compensation. During the Employment Period the Company shall pay to Executive an annual base salary (the “Annual Base Compensation”) in the amount of Three Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars (U.S.) ($300,000.00 (U.S.)). The Annual Base Compensation shall be paid in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, and shall be subject to all required federal, state and local withholding taxes. Executive’s Annual Base Compensation shall be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board.

     3.2 Executive Performance Bonus. In respect of each fiscal year falling within the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to earn an incentive compensation bonus, depending upon the achievement of the Company’s and Executive’s performance objectives, as mutually agreed to by the parties (the “Incentive Compensation Bonus”). The amount of the Incentive Compensation Bonus shall be targeted at eighty percent (80%) of the Executive’s Annual Base Compensation (the “Target Amount”), with the specific percentage determined by the Company’s Board after the close of the Company’s fiscal year (December 31). The Incentive Compensation Bonus, if any, shall be paid to Executive at the same time other members of the senior executive team are paid their respective incentive compensation bonuses. If Executive is terminated for Cause, then no Incentive Compensation Bonus shall be paid to Executive for the calendar year in which the termination occurred. If Executive’s employment terminates during the calendar year for reasons other than Cause, then Executive shall receive a pro rata amount of the Incentive Compensation Bonus that Executive would have received if Executive remained employed throughout the calendar year. The Incentive Compensation Bonus also shall be pro rated if Executive’s employment with the Company under this Agreement commenced during the calendar year. To the extent practicable, the Company will notify Executive of Executive’s performance objectives for the year in January of that year.

     3.3 Expenses. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement of all business expenses reasonably incurred in the performance of Executive’s duties for the Company, including reasonable travel-related expenses, upon submission of all receipts and accounts with respect thereto, and approval by the Company thereof, in accordance with the then current business expense reimbursement policies of the Company.

     3.4 Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to accrue over the course of the calendar year twenty (20) days of paid vacation time, pro rated during the Initial Term, in accordance with the Company’s then current vacation policy (the “Vacation Benefit”); provided that unused vacation may be used by Executive in the following calendar year only in accordance with and as permitted by the Company’s then current vacation policies in effect from time to time. The Vacation Benefit shall be increased over the Employment Period in accord with Company policy. Nothing in this Agreement shall cause Executive to forfeit any accrued but unused paid vacation time Executive had prior to entering into this Agreement.

     3.5 Grant of Stock Options.

     a. Executive and the Company acknowledge that the “Exercise Conditions” set forth in the two Stock Option Agreements entered into between Systems Xcellence Inc. and Executive, each dated September 27, 2006 (the “Contingent Option Agreements”), have been satisfied, thereby removing the contingencies, set forth in paragraph 2(a) of the Contingent Option Agreements, that were placed on exercising the stock options referenced in the Contingent Option Agreements.

     b. All existing options for shares of the Company stock held by Executive at the time Executive’s signs this Agreement shall vest on the earlier of January 1^st 2008, or upon any termination of the Employment Period as a result of the Executive’s resignation; or upon any termination of the Employment Period by the Company regardless of the Triggering Event.

     c. Between March 1 and March 31, 2007, Executive shall be granted options (“Options”) to purchase Fifty Thousand (50,000) shares of common stock of the Company; provided Executive must be employed by the Company at the time the Options are granted as a condition of receiving the Options. The exercise price per share under any Option shall be 100% of the fair market value of the common stock of the Company at the time of grant. The Options shall be fully vested upon issuance and otherwise be subject to the Company’s then current stock option plan.

     d. During the Employment Period, for the period covering Fiscal Year 2008 and thereafter, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s stock option plan and receive options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company in the same manner as other members of the Company’s Board.

     4.4 Noninterference with Employees Covenant.

     4.5 Covenant of Nonsolicitation of Customers. Executive acknowledges the Company’s legitimate interest in protecting its customers for a reasonable period of time following the termination of Executive’s employment.

The preceding to the contrary notwithstanding, Executive shall be free to make investments in the publicly traded securities of any corporation, provided that such investments do not amount to more than 1% of the outstanding securities of any class of such corporation.

     4.7 Remedies for Breach. Executive recognizes that the rights and privileges granted to Executive by this Agreement, and Executive’s corresponding covenants to the Company, are of a special, unique, and extraordinary character, the loss of which cannot reasonably or adequately be compensated for in damages in any action at law or through the offset or withholding of any monies to which Executive might be entitled from the Company. Accordingly, Executive understands and agrees that the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, to prevent or enjoin a breach of this Agreement. Executive also understands and agrees that any such equitable relief shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other relief to which the Company may be entitled.

Executive hereby waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any right of removal, any claim that Executive is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Executive consents and agrees to service of process or other legal summons for purpose of any such suit, action or proceeding by registered mail addressed to Executive at Executive’s address listed in the business records of the Company. Executive and the Company do each hereby waive any right to trial by jury, Executive or it may have concerning any matter relating to this Agreement.

     6.8 Indemnification of Executive.

     (a) Executive is hereby entitled to indemnification for Executive’s acts or omissions in Executive’s capacity as an Executive or officer of the Company to the same extent as the Company’s other senior vice presidents and in the manner provided by the Company’s bylaws. In addition the Company shall indemnify Executive for any damages suffered or incurred by Executive as a result of serving as an Officer of the Company provided that Executive has acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the Company. Within ten (10) days after receipt of a claim for indemnification accompanied by evidence of the liability or expense subject to indemnification, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid the indemnification claim. Executive shall give notice to the Company no later than ten (10) days after such Executive shall have been served with written notice of any claim that may give rise to a claim for indemnification.

     (b) Subject to any rights of or duties to any insurer, reinsurer or other third party having liability for any claim made or brought against Executive, the Company shall have the right, at its option, to assume, at its own expense, the control of the defense thereof, including the employment of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to Executive. If the Company exercises the foregoing right, Executive shall cooperate with the Company and make available to it all information under the control of Executive, which is relevant to the claim. If the Company does not exercise the foregoing right, Executive shall keep the Company reasonably apprised of the progress of the defense of the claim. Nothing herein shall preclude Executive, at Executive’s expense, from employing legal counsel of Executive’s choosing to participate in the defense of any claim made or brought against Executive in addition to legal counsel employed by the Company.

     (c) If the Company elects to assume control of the defense of any claim, the Company shall not settle or compromise the claim for and on behalf of Executive without the written consent of Executive; provided, however, that if the Company receives an offer of settlement or compromise from the other party or parties to the claim in a particular amount or obtains a commitment from such party or parties to accept a compromise or settlement in such amount if offered, and if such settlement or compromise requires only the payment of such amount, the granting of an appropriate release or similar accommodation, and no other relief, and Executive refuses to consent thereto and elects to continue to defend the claim, then the extent of the indemnity to which Executive shall be entitled hereunder shall be limited to such amount and the legal fees and expenses that Executive would have been entitled to receive from the Company if such compromise or settlement had been accepted.

     (d) This indemnification obligation shall continue notwithstanding that Executive has ceased to be an officer or employee of the Company.

     6.9 Directors & Officers Liability Insurance. The Company shall maintain adequate Directors and Officers liability insurance coverage, which shall include Executive in Executive’s capacity as an Officer. The adequacy of the Directors and Officers liability insurance coverage shall be determined annually by the Board in its reasonable discretion.

     6.10 Employee’s Attorney’s Fees. Executive shall be entitled to be reimbursed for up to Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars (U.S. ) ($5,000.00 (U.S.)) for his reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with his and his counsel’s review and negotiation of this Agreement and the underlying term sheet. Executive shall be responsible for any tax liability incurred in connection with the payment provided by this section.

     6.11 Tax Provisions.

     (a) Compliance With Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement comply with the provisions of section 409A of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), so as to prevent the inclusion in gross income of any amounts payable or benefits provided hereunder in a taxable year that is prior to the taxable year or years in which such amounts or benefits would otherwise actually be distributed, provided or otherwise made available to Executive. This Agreement shall be construed, administered, and governed in a manner consistent with this intent. Any provision that would cause any amount payable or benefit provided under this Agreement to be includable in the gross income of Executive under Code section 409A(a)(l) shall have no force and effect unless and until amended to cause such amount or benefit to not be so includable (which amendment shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties in good faith and may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Code section 409A). In particular, to the extent Executive becomes entitled to receive a payment or a benefit upon an event that does not constitute a permitted distribution event under Code section 409A(a)(2), then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such payment or benefit will be made or provided to Executive on the earlier of (i) the effective date of Executive’s “separation from service” with Company (determined in accordance with Code section 409A); provided however, that if Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code section 409A), this date will be the date which is 6 months after the effective date of Executive’s separation from service with Company, or (ii) the date of Executive’s death. Any reference in this Agreement to Code section 409A shall also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

     (b) Compliance With Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company reasonably anticipates that the deduction of any payment to Executive hereunder will be limited or eliminated by the application of Code section 162(m), which generally limits the deduction of compensation paid by public corporations in excess of $1 million annually to certain executives, the payment of such amount shall be delayed until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the deduction of the payment would not be limited or eliminated by the application of Code section 162(m).

     (c) Excise Taxes Under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that the Executive shall become entitled to payments and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the “nature of compensation” (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company or any affiliate, any person whose actions result in a change of ownership or effective control of the Company covered by Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) as a result of such change in ownership or effective control of the Company, (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999 or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

     6.12 Severability. If any portion of this Agreement shall be for any reason, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portion or portions shall nevertheless be valid, enforceable and carried into effect.

     6.13 Headings. The headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.

     6.14 Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly sent, (i) when delivered, if by personal service or reputable overnight courier service, or (ii) when received, if sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested to the recipient at the address indicated below or otherwise subsequently provided by one party to the other party:

CONFIDENTIAL SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

     4. Consideration. Executive acknowledges that Executive would not be entitled to the Separation Benefit provided for in paragraph 3 above in the absence of Executive’s signing of this Agreement, that the Separation Benefit constitutes a substantial economic benefit to Executive, and that it constitutes good and valuable consideration for the various commitments undertaken by Executive in this Agreement.

     5. Parties Released.

     6. General Release. Executive, for and on behalf of Executive and each of Executive’s personal and legal representatives, heirs, devisees, executors, successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges full and complete satisfaction of, and fully and forever waives, releases, acquits, and discharges Releasees from any and all claims, causes of action, demands, liabilities, damages, obligations, and debts (collectively referred to as “Claims”), of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, or fixed or contingent, which Executive holds as of the date Executive signs this Agreement, or at any time previously held against Releasees, or any of them, arising out of any matter whatsoever (with the exception of breaches of this Agreement). This General Release specifically includes, but is not limited to, any and all Claims:

Arising under or based on any federal, state, county or local law, statute, ordinance, decision, order, policy or regulation prohibiting employment discrimination; providing for the payment of wages or benefits; or otherwise creating rights or claims for Executives, including, but not limited to, any and all claims alleging breach of public policy; the implied obligation of good faith and fair dealing; or any express, implied, oral or written contract; handbook; manual; policy statement or employment practice; or alleging misrepresentation; defamation; libel; slander; interference with contractual relations; intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress; invasion of privacy; false imprisonment; assault; battery; fraud; negligence; or wrongful discharge; and

     7. Intended Scope of Release. It is the intention of the parties and is fully understood and agreed by them that this Agreement includes a General Release of all Claims (with the exception of breaches of this Agreement and claims for vested benefits, if any, to which Executive is legally entitled under ERISA), which Executive holds or previously held against Releasees, or any of them, whether or not they are specifically referred to herein. No reference herein to any specific claim, statute or obligation is intended to limit the scope of this General Release and, notwithstanding any such reference, this Agreement shall be effective as a full and final bar to all Claims of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, or fixed or contingent, released in this Agreement.

     8. Executive Waiver of Rights. As part of the foregoing General Release, Executive is waiving all of Executive’s rights to any recovery, compensation, or other legal, equitable or injunctive relief (including, but not limited to, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive damages, back pay, front pay, attorneys’ fees, and reinstatement to employment), from Releasees, or any of them, in any administrative, arbitral, judicial or other action brought by or on behalf of Executive in connection with any Claim released in this Agreement.

     9. Covenant Not to Sue. In addition to all other obligations contained in this Agreement, Executive agrees that Executive will not initiate, bring or prosecute any suit or action against any of Releasees in any federal, state, county or municipal court, with respect to any of the Claims released in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Executive from bringing suit to challenge the validity or enforceability of this Agreement under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.

     10. Remedies for Breach. If the Executive, or anyone on Executive’s behalf, initiates, brings or prosecutes any suit or action against Releasees, or any of them, in any federal, state, county or municipal court, with respect to any of the Claims released in this Agreement (except to challenge the validity or enforceability of this Agreement under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act), or if the Executive breaches any of the terms of this Agreement, then Executive shall be liable for the payment of all damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Releasees, or any of them, in connection with such suit, action or breach.

     11. No Admission of Liability. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes or shall be construed as an admission of liability on the part of Releasees, or any of them. Releasees expressly deny any liability of any

     16. Revocation Period. Executive understands that Executive has the right to revoke this Agreement at any time within seven (7) days after Executive signs it and that the Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until this revocation period has expired without revocation.

     19. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are fully severable. Therefore, if any provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the remaining provisions.
