(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  (a)   Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of ProxyMed, Inc. and subsidiaries (“ProxyMed,” “we,” or “us”) and the notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.
 
      The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2005 (“10-K/A”).
 
  (b)   Revenue Recognition — Revenue is derived from our Transaction Services and Laboratory Communication Solutions segments.
 
      Revenues in our Transaction Services segment are recorded as follows:

  •   For revenues derived from insurance payers, pharmacies and submitters, such revenues are recognized on a per transaction basis or flat fee basis in the period the services are rendered.
 
  •   Revenue from the Company’s medical cost containment business is recognized when the services are performed and are recorded net of estimated allowances. These revenues are primarily in the form of fees generated from discounts we secure for payers that access our provider network (see Note 1c).
 
  •   Revenues associated with revenue sharing agreements are recorded as gross revenue on a per transaction basis or a percentage of revenue basis and may involve increasing amounts or percentages based on transaction or revenue volumes achieved. This treatment is in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent.”
 
  •   Revenue from certain up-front fees is recognized ratably over three years, which is the expected life of the customer. This treatment is in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”).

  •   Revenue from support and maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period.

Revenues in our Laboratory Communication Solutions segment are recorded as follows:

  •   Revenue from support and maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period.
 
  •   Revenues from the sale of inventory and manufactured goods is recognized when the product is delivered, price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. This treatment is in accordance with SAB No. 104.
 
  •   Revenue from the rental of laboratory communication devices is recognized ratably over the period of the rental contract.

  (c)   Reserve for Revenue Adjustments, Doubtful Accounts and Bad Debt Estimates — The Company relies on estimates to determine the revenue adjustments, bad debt expense and the adequacy of our reserve for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates are based on the Company’s historical experience, including historical collection ratios, and the industry in which the customer operates. If the financial condition of a customer were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of its ability to make payments, additional allowances are made.
 
  (d)   Net loss per share — Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock; however, the following shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive:

                 
    March 31,

Common shares excluded in the computation of diluted net loss per share:

  (e)   Stock Based Compensation — The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. The Company measures compensation expense related to the grant of stock options and stock-based awards to employees (including independent directors) in accordance with the provisions of APB No. 25. In accordance with APB No. 25, compensation expense, if any, is generally based on the difference between the exercise price of an option, or the amount paid for an award, and the market price or fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of the award or at the measurement date for variable awards. Stock-based compensation arrangements involving non-employees are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“SFAS No. 123”) as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS No. 148”), under which such arrangements are accounted for based on the fair value of the option or award.
 
      Under SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans would be determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans. Had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 in accounting for our stock option plans, its consolidated net loss and net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated as follows:

(1)   The following ranges of assumptions were used in the calculation of pro forma compensation expense for the periods presented:

                 
Risk-free interest rate
    4.1% - 4.5 %     3.8% - 4.1 %
Expected life

      On September 1, 2004, 68,543 stock options granted to the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of PlanVista, with an exercise price of $17.74 per share were modified due to his change in employment status. Consequently, the Company is amortizing the $0.1 million value of these options as a non-cash charge in our consolidated statements of operations over the 30-month period of the agreement in proportion to the vesting schedule of the stock options. The value of these options was computed using a Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: risk-free rate of 2.8%, expected life of 2.5 years, expected volatility of 65%, and no dividend yield. The Company must measure the value of these options each reporting period and record any increase in value as a period charge. Based on our measurements, no additional charge was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2005.
 
      In December 2004, the Company’s new Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer was granted stock options to purchase 75,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.10 per share in connection with his consulting agreement with us. Such options expire in 10 years and vest ratably over the first 12 months. The options will cease to vest if the consulting agreement is terminated. The total charge for these stock options is $172,800 and is being recorded ratably over the first twelve vesting months based on a Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: risk-free rate of 2.9%, expected life of 2 years, expected volatility of 55%, and no dividend yield. In January 2005, the Interim CEO was granted stock options to purchase 25,000 shares of our stock at the market value on the date of issuance of $9.87 per share in his capacity as Chairman of the Board. These options expire in 10 years and vest ratably over the first 12 months. There is no compensation charge for these options.
 
  (f)   New Accounting Pronouncements — In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107. This SAB provides guidance related to the application of SFAS No. 123(R), “Shared-Based Payments (Revised 2004)” for transactions with non-employees, the transition from nonpublic to public entity status, valuation methods, the accounting for certain redeemable financial instruments issued under share-based payment arrangements, the classification of compensation expense, non-GAAP financial measure, first-time adoption of Statement 123(R) and disclosures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) subsequent to adoption of Statement 123(R). The revised effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) is for annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption date for the Company is January 1, 2006. The Company has not completed the process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting FASB Statement No. 123(R) and is therefore unable to disclose the impact that adoption will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 
      In September 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued EITF No. 04-8, “Accounting Issues Related to Certain Features of Contingently Convertible Debt and the Effect on Diluted Earnings per Share” (“EITF No. 04-8”). EITF No. 04-8 addresses when the dilutive effect of contingently convertible debt instruments should be included in diluted earnings per share and requires that contingently convertible debt

(Unaudited)

      instruments are to be included in the computation of diluted earnings per share regardless of whether the market price or other trigger has been met. EITF No. 04-8 also requires that prior period diluted earnings per share amounts presented for comparative purposes be restated. EITF No. 04-8 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. As a result of the issuance of EITF No. 04-8, shares convertible from our $13.1 million convertible notes may be required to be included in the calculation of our earnings per share in periods of net income; however, the FASB has yet to reach a conclusion as to the effect of non-market price triggers on earnings per share calculations in situations where the instrument contains only non-market price triggers, such as our convertible notes, and therefore the impact on the consolidated financial statements is not determinable at this time.
 
      In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” This Statement clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) and requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal” under ARB No. 43. The provisions of this Statement shall be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption will have on the Company’s results of operations.

(2) Acquisition of PlanVista

On March 2, 2004, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of PlanVista Corporation (“PlanVista”), a publicly-held company that provides medical cost containment and business process outsourcing solutions, including claims repricing services, for the medical insurance and managed care industries, as well as services for healthcare providers, including individual providers, preferred provider organizations and other provider groups, for 3,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to PlanVista’s shareholders. In addition, the Company assumed debt and other liabilities of PlanVista, and incurred $1.3 million in acquisition related expenses. The value of these shares was $59.8 million based on the average closing price of our common stock for the day of and the two days before and after the announcement of the definitive agreement on December 8, 2003 in accordance with EITF No. 99-12, “Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in Purchase Business Combination.” Additionally, the Company raised $24.1 million in a private placement sale of its common stock to various entities affiliated with General Atlantic Partners and Commonwealth Associates to partially fund repayment of PlanVista’s debts and other obligations outstanding at the time of the acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the consolidated results of operations of both the Company and PlanVista as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2005 and 2004. The 2004 results include $2.8 million of revenue from the manufacturing assets sold in June 2004. These pro forma results do not necessarily represent results that would have occurred if the acquisition had taken place on the dates, or of results that may occur in the future.

The estimates of useful lives of other intangible assets are based on historical experience, the industry in which the entity operates, or on contractual terms. If indications arise that would materially impact these lives, an impairment charge may be required and the corresponding useful lives may be reduced. Other intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $1.8 and $1.1 million, respectively.

(5) Debt Obligations

  (a)   Senior Debt — As a result of the acquisition of PlanVista, we assumed and guaranteed a $20.4 million secured obligation to PVC Funding Partners, LLC (an investment company related to Commonwealth Associates, LP). This obligation is payable in monthly installments of $0.2 million and matures with a balloon payment of $17.6 million on May 31, 2005 and currently bears an interest rate of 10% (the obligation originally bore interest of 6% through November 2004), payable monthly in cash. Under the covenants of the senior debt obligation, PlanVista is limited in its ability to transfer cash to ProxyMed. Additionally, the assets of PlanVista are not eligible collateral for our asset-based line of credit due to covenants of the senior debt. At March 31, 2005, the balance of this senior debt is $17.8 million.
 
      On April 18, 2005, the Company closed a new senior debt facility. The Company used the proceeds from this facility and some of its cash to pay approximately $18.7 million which constituted all of the Company’s previous senior debt obligation and notes outstanding to former directors of PlanVista including all accrued interest. The Senior debt would have matured on May 31, 2005.
 
  (b)   Convertible Notes — On December 31, 2002, we issued $13.4 million in uncollateralized convertible promissory notes at 4% to the former shareholders of MedUnite as part of the consideration paid in the acquisition of MedUnite. Interest is payable quarterly in cash in arrears. The convertible promissory notes are payable in full on December 31, 2008 unless converted earlier upon the meeting of certain aggregate revenue triggers by the former shareholders. After an offsetting claim by us in October 2003 in the amount of $0.3 million, the outstanding balance of these notes is $13.1 million. Additionally, as a result of the reduction in principal, the notes are now convertible into 716,968 shares of our common stock subject to achieving certain revenue triggers. The first revenue trigger was met in the fourth quarter of 2003, and the second revenue trigger date is June 30, 2005.

  (c)   Notes Payable — In March 2003, we restructured $3.4 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses acquired from MedUnite and outstanding at December 31, 2002 to one vendor by paying $0.8 million in cash and financing the balance of $2.6 million with an unsecured note payable over 36 months at 8% commencing in March 2003. At March 31, 2005, the balance of this note payable is $0.8 million.
 
      In April 2003, we financed a net total of $2.0 million existing at December 31, 2002 from MedUnite to NDCHealth by issuing an unsecured note payable over 24 months at 6%. At March 31, 2005, the balance of this note payable is $0.6 million.
 
      As a result of the acquisition of PlanVista, we also assumed notes payable to two former board members of PlanVista. The combined balance of these notes is $0.5 million at March 31, 2005. One of these board members has been appointed as one of our directors as a result of the acquisition. These notes bear interest at prime plus 4% and $0.2 million in interest is accrued at March 31, 2005. Both principal and interest were due on December 1, 2004; however, repayment of principal and accrued interest are expressly subordinated to prior payment of the Senior Debt which was not yet paid as of March 31, 2005 and was due on May 31, 2005. (See Note 10)

(6) Equity Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, we granted 39,000 and 241,373 stock options at exercise prices between $8.58 and $18.86 per share to officers and employees. Such options are for a ten-year term and generally vest equally over three or four years following the date of the grant. However, of these options, 173,120 options granted to employees of PlanVista upon its acquisition by us will vest two-thirds on the first anniversary date of the grant and one-third on the third anniversary date of the grant. Since these options were granted at an exercise price of $17.74, which was below the $19.00 market price at the time of issuance, we record periodic non-cash compensation charges over the vesting period of the options based on the intrinsic value method. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, we recorded charges of $51,800 and $14,000, respectively, for these options.

As a result of PlanVista’s former Chief Executive Officer’s change in status and modification to the original stock option award, we are amortizing the $0.1 million value of these options as a non-cash compensation charge in the statement of operations over the 30-month period of the agreement in proportion to the vesting schedule of the stock options. Additionally, each reporting period we must measure the value of these options and record any increase in value as a period charge. As of March 31, 2005, the value of these options had not increased and therefore there was no additional charge recorded in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

(7) Segment Information

We operate in two reportable segments that are separately managed: Transaction Services and Laboratory Communication Solutions. Transaction Services includes transaction, cost containment and other value-added services principally between physicians and insurance companies (Payer Services and Submitter Services), and providers and pharmacies. Laboratory Communication Solutions includes the sale, lease and service of communication devices principally to laboratories and, through June 30, 2004, the contract manufacturing of printed circuit boards (Laboratory Services). As a result of a re-alignment of our corporate overhead functions in the second quarter of 2004, we are now reporting these expenses and assets as part of our Transaction Services segment.

(8) Income Taxes

As of March 31, 2005, we had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $71.7 million, which was fully offset by a valuation allowance due to cumulative losses in recent years. Realization of the net deferred tax asset is dependent upon us generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the federal net operating loss carryforwards. We will adjust this valuation reserve if, during future periods, management believes we will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax asset. The provision for income taxes reported in the

Consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of approximately $0.1 million was related primarily to state income taxes.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

  (a)   Litigation — In December of 2001, Insurdata Marketing Services, Inc. (“IMS”) filed a lawsuit against HealthPlan Services, Inc. (“HPS”), a former subsidiary of the Company’s PlanVista subsidiary, for unspecified damages in excess of $75,000. The complaint alleges that HPS failed to pay commissions to IMS pursuant to an arbitration award rendered in 1996. On January 10, 2005, the court granted summary judgment to IMS on issue of liability for the arbitration award. The Company has filed an appeal on the issue of liability, and continues to contest vigorously the amount of damages claimed by IMS. The Company has determined exposure to be in the range of $0.6 million to $1.6 million and has accrued $0.6 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
 
      In early 2000, four named plaintiffs filed a class action against Fidelity Group, Inc. (“Fidelity”), “HPS”, Third Party Claims Management, and others, for unspecified damages. The complaint stems from the failure of a Fidelity insurance plan, and alleges unfair and deceptive trade practices; negligent undertaking; fraud; negligent misrepresentation; breach of contract; civil conspiracy; and RICO violations against Fidelity, and its contracted administrator, HPS. Two principals of the Fidelity plan have been convicted of insurance fraud and sentenced to prison in a separate proceeding. The class has been certified and the case is proceeding in discovery. The Company is contesting the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of the case or any potential liability.
 
      In 2004, the Company filed a tax appeal in the State of New York contesting a Notice of Deficiency sent by the State of New York to PlanVista. The notice involved taxes claimed to be due on a deconsolidated basis for the tax years ending December 31, 1999 through December 31, 2001 in an amount of $2.8 million. The Company’s contends that taxation on a consolidated basis is appropriate, and is vigorously pursuing its appeal. However, the Company is unable to determine whether it will be successful or whether it will be obligated to pay some or all of the alleged deficiencies.
 
  (b)   Other — In connection with the Company’s June 1997 acquisition of its PreScribe technology used in its Prescription Services business, the Company would be obligated to pay up to $10 million to the former owner of PreScribe in the event of a divestiture of a majority interest in ProxyMed, or all or part of the PreScribe technology.

  (c)   Leases — In January 2005, the Company renewed its Corporate office lease in Atlanta, Georgia for an additional 5 year term, commencing May 1, 2005 through April 30, 2010. The base lease payments for the renewal term total $2.2 million.
 
  (d)   Employment Agreements — The Company entered into employment agreements with certain executives and other members of management that provide for cash severance payments if these employees are terminated without cause. The Company’s aggregate commitment under these agreements is $1.4 million at December 31, 2004.

(10)   Subsequent Event — On April 18, 2005, the Company closed a new senior debt facility. The Company used the proceeds from this facility and some of its cash to pay approximately $18.7 million which constituted all of the Company’s previous senior debt obligation and notes outstanding to former directors of PlanVista including all accrued interest. The Senior debt would have matured on May 31, 2005.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

     Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) is provided as a supplement to ProxyMed, Inc.’s (“ProxyMed” or the “Company”) unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and notes thereto and to the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2005.

Introduction

     We were incorporated in Florida in 1989 and are a leading healthcare transaction services company providing Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”), cost-containment services and related value-added products to physician offices, payers, medical laboratories, pharmacies and other healthcare institutions. Our broad existing connectivity to payers and providers positions us as the second largest independent medical claims clearinghouse in the industry, serving over 150,000 providers. Our cost containment business has the second largest Preferred Provider Organization (“PPO”) in terms of reach with over 400,000 providers contracted, and currently is sixth in terms of managed care lives accessed through us.

     Our business strategy is to leverage our leadership position in connectivity services in order to establish ourselves as the premier provider of automated financial, clinical, cost containment, business outsourcing and administrative transaction services primarily between healthcare providers and payers, clinical laboratories and pharmacies.

     Our electronic transaction processing services support a broad range of financial, clinical, and administrative transactions. To facilitate these services, we are completing the conversion of all of our non-clinical EDI clients to Phoenix™, our secure, proprietary national electronic information network, that provides physicians and other healthcare providers with direct connectivity to one of the industry’s largest list of payers.

     Our cost containment and business outsourcing solutions businesses are included in the Transaction Services segment since our acquisition of PlanVista Corporation (“PlanVista”) in March 2004, and are directed toward the medical insurance and managed care industries. Specifically, we provide integrated national PPO network access, electronic claims repricing, and network and data management to healthcare payers, including self-insured employers, medical insurance carriers, PPO’s and third party administrators (“TPAs”).

     We believe we are uniquely positioned in the marketplace to make a contribution that our competitors do not. The differentiators include our ability to integrate cost containment solutions, including bill negotiation and provider network recruitment, with EDI and network management into one new offering: Enterprise Solutions for Payers (“ESP”). In addition, we maintain an open electronic network for electronic transactions with no equity ownership in businesses engaged in the front-end (i.e., physician practice management software system vendors and other physician desk top vendors) or in the back-end (i.e., payers, laboratories and

18


Table of Contents

pharmacies). With our neutral position, we believe that we can better attract both front-end and back-end partners who may be more comfortable doing business with a non-competitive partner.

     Another competitive differentiator is our presence in the clinical market. With the nation’s largest clinical laboratories as long-time customers, we have worked in partnership with them to develop customized laboratory communication tools and services.

Operating Segments

     We operate in two reportable segments that are separately managed: Transaction Services and Laboratory Communication Solutions. Transaction Services includes EDI, cost containment and other value-added services principally between submitters (physicians, billing companies, hospitals, laboratories, and others) and payers (insurance companies, TPAs, Medicare, Medicaid, and others). Laboratory Communication Solutions includes the sale, lease and service of communication devices principally to laboratories and, through June 30, 2004, contract manufacturing. As a result of a re-alignment of our corporate overhead functions (i.e., executives, finance, legal, human resources, facilities and insurance) in the second quarter of 2004, we now report these expenses and assets as part of our Transaction Services segment. International sales were attributable to the manufacturing assets of the Laboratory Communication Solutions segment that were sold on June 30, 2004.

     Our corporate headquarters is located in Atlanta, Georgia, and our products and services are provided from various operational facilities located throughout the United States. We also operate our clinical computer network and portions of our financial and real-time production computer networks from a secure, third-party co-location site also located in Atlanta, Georgia.

     Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased by $1.2 million, or 5.9%, to $21.7 million from $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

     Net revenues in the Company’s Transaction Services segment increased by $4.0 million, or 27.5%, over the 2004 period. Revenues have increased significantly due to the higher per transaction revenue attributable to the Company’s cost containment services included in the results for all three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to one month in the same period last year; offset by revenue declines in electronic claims, statements and real-time transactions due to pricing pressures in the market (decrease of $0.7 million).

     For the 2005 period, approximately 85.7% of ProxyMed’s revenues came from its Transaction Services segment compared to 71.2% from this segment for the 2004 period. For the remainder of 2005 and beyond, it is anticipated that ProxyMed’s greatest growth will come from the Transaction Services segment.

     A summary of the number of transactions the Company processed for the periods presented is as follows:

     Laboratory Communication Solutions segment net revenues decreased by $2.8 million, or 47.4%, over the 2004 period. The decrease is primarily due to the asset sale of the manufacturing division in June 2004. The Company doesn’t anticipate significant growth from this segment.

     Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $0.6 million and as a percentage of net revenues to 35.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 40.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

     Cost of sales in the Company’s Transaction Services segment consists of transaction fees, provider network outsourcing fees, services and license fees, third-party electronic transaction processing costs, certain telecommunication and co-location center costs, revenue sharing arrangements with ProxyMed’s business partners, and third-party database licenses. Cost of sales in the 2005 period increased $1.7 million, or 40.8%, from the 2004 period. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales in this segment increased to 27.6% in the 2005 period compared to 20.8% in the 2004 period primarily due to two additional months of higher margin of Cost Containment services in the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to only one month in the same period last year.

     Cost of sales in the Laboratory Communication Solutions segment includes hardware, third party software, consumable materials, direct manufacturing labor and indirect manufacturing overhead. Cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2005 decreased $2.3 million, or 58.2%, from the 2004 period. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales in

21

this segment decreased to 7.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 19.6% for the same period in 2004. This decrease is primarily due to the sale of the Company’s contract manufacturing assets in June 2004.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A increased for the three months ended March 31, 2005 by $2.2 million, or 21.3%, to $12.6 million from $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 58.1% for the 2005 period compared to 50.8% in the same period last year.

     Transaction Services segment SG&A expenses for the three months ending March 31, 2005 increased $2.9 million, or 32.3%, over the same period last year primarily due to the addition of SG&A expenses from PlanVista for all three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to only one month for the same period last year. Additionally, the Company experienced increased expenditures related to its ongoing efforts to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the 2005 period and higher health insurance costs. As a result, segment SG&A expenses as a percentage of segment net revenues increased to 64.3% for the 2005 period compared to 62.0% for the same period last year.

     Laboratory Communication Solutions segment SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 decreased by $0.7 million, or 52.1%, over the same period last year and segment SG&A expenses as a percentage of segment net revenues decreased to 21.0% for the 2005 period compared to 23.1% for the same period last year. These decreases are primarily due to the reduction in SG&A expenses related to the sale of the Company’s contract manufacturing assets in June 2004.

     Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.7 million to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $1.8 million for the same period last year. This increase was due to approximately $0.7 million for the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the PlanVista acquisition.

     Operating Loss. As a result of the foregoing, the operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $1.2 million compared to an operating loss of $43,000 for the same period last year.

     Interest Expense, net. Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $0.6 million compared to $0.3 million for the same period last year. This increase in expense is primarily due to the assumption of debt in conjunction with the PlanVista acquisition. Interest expense for the 2005 year is expected to be at levels above those in the prior year due to the senior debt acquired from PlanVista.

     Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $1.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the three months ended March 31, 2005, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.1 million, primarily related to strong cash collections during the quarter. Cash used by investing activities totaled $0.8 million for the funding of capital expenditures related to the Company’s technical infrastructure and administrative systems and capitalized development of internal systems. Cash used in financing activities totaled $1.1 million for the funding of repayments of notes payable, other long-term debt, and payments related to capital leases.

     On April 18, 2005, the Company closed a new senior debt facility. The Company used the proceeds from this facility and some of its cash to pay approximately $18.7 million which constituted all of the Company’s previous senior debt obligation and notes outstanding to former directors of PlanVista including all accrued interest. The Senior debt would have matured on May 31, 2005.

     We believe that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand to fund our future operational requirements and capital expenditures, and a sufficient level of capital in order to fund specific research and development projects. If we require additional funding in the future to satisfy any of our outstanding future obligations, or further our strategic plans, there can be no assurance that any additional funding will be available to us, or if available, that it will be available on acceptable terms.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we believe that any variation in results would not have a material effect on our financial condition. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis.

     We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004.

     Revenue Recognition — Revenue is derived from our Transaction Services and Laboratory Communication Solutions segments.

     Revenues in our Transaction Services segment are recorded as follows:

  •   For revenues derived from insurance payers, pharmacies, and submitters, such revenues are recognized on a per transaction basis or flat fee basis in the period the services are rendered.

Table of Contents

  •   Revenue from our medical cost containment business is recognized when the services are performed and are recorded net of estimated allowances. These revenues are primarily in the form of fees generated from discounts we secure for payers that access our provider network.
 
  •   Revenues associated with revenue sharing agreements are recorded on a per transaction basis or a percentage of revenue basis and may involve increasing amounts or percentages based on transaction or revenue volumes achieved. This treatment is in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent.”
 
  •   Revenue from certain up-front fees is recognized ratably over three years, which is the expected life of the customer. This treatment is in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”).
 
  •   Revenue from support and maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period.

     Revenues in our Laboratory Communication Solutions segment are recorded as follows:

  •   Revenue from support and maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period.
 
  •   Revenues from the sale of inventory and manufactured goods is recognized when the product is delivered, price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. This treatment is in accordance with SAB No. 104.
 
  •   Revenue from the rental of laboratory communication devices is recognized ratably over the period of the rental contract.

     Capitalized Software Development and Research and Development — Costs incurred internally and fees paid to outside contractors and consultants during the application development stage of our internally used software products are capitalized. Costs of upgrades and major enhancements that result in additional functionality are also capitalized. Costs incurred for maintenance and minor upgrades are expensed as incurred. All other costs are expensed as incurred as research and development expenses (which are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses”). Application development stage costs generally include software configuration, coding, installation to hardware and testing. Once the project is completed, capitalized costs are amortized over their remaining estimated economic life. Our judgment is used in determining whether costs meet the criteria for immediate expense or capitalization. We periodically review projected cash flows and other criteria in assessing the impairment of any internal-use capitalized software and take impairment charges as needed.

     Reserve for Revenue Adjustments/Doubtful Accounts/Bad Debt Estimates — We rely on estimates to determine the revenue adjustments, bad debt expense and the adequacy of the reserve for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates are based on our historical experience, including historical collection ratios, and the industry in which the customer operates. If the financial condition of a customer were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of its ability to make payments, additional allowances are made.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In March 2005 the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, this SAB provides guidance related to the application of SFAS No. 123(R), “Shared-Based Payments (Revised 2004)” for transactions with non-employees, the transition from nonpublic to public entity status, valuation methods, the accounting for certain redeemable financial instruments issued under share-based payment arrangements, the classification of compensation expense, non-GAAP financial measure, first-time adoption of Statement 123(R) and disclosures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) subsequent to adoption of Statement 123(R). The revised effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) is for annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption date for the Company is January 1, 2006. The Company has not completed the process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting FASB Statement No. 123(R) and is therefore unable to disclose the impact that adoption will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

     In September 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued EITF No. 04-8, “Accounting Issues Related to Certain Features of Contingently Convertible Debt and the Effect on Diluted Earnings per Share” (“EITF No. 04-8”). EITF No. 04-8 addresses when the dilutive effect of contingently convertible debt instruments should be included in diluted earnings per share and requires that contingently convertible debt instruments are to be included in the computation of diluted earnings per share regardless of whether the market price or other trigger has been met. EITF No. 04-8 also requires that prior period diluted earnings per share amounts presented for comparative purposes be restated. EITF No. 04-8 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. As a result of the issuance of EITF No. 04-8, shares convertible from our $13.1 million convertible notes may be required to be included in the calculation of our earnings per share in periods of net income; however, the FASB has yet to reach a conclusion as to the effect of non market price triggers on earnings per share calculations in situations where the instrument contains only non-market price trigger, such as our convertible notes, and therefore the impact on the consolidated financial statements is not determinable at this time.

     In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” This Statement clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) and requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal” under ARB No. 43. The provisions of this Statement shall be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption will have on the Company’s results of operations.

Cautionary Statement Pursuant to Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

     Statements contained in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this report may contain information that includes or is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements present the Company’s expectations or forecasts of future events. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They frequently are accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. In particular, these include statements relating to: the Company’s ability to attract and retain a suitable CEO; the Company’s ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates; the Company’s successful integration of past and any other future acquisitions; the Company’s ability to successfully develop, market, sell, cross-sell, install and upgrade the Company’s clinical and financial transaction services and applications to new and current physicians, payers, medical laboratories and pharmacies; the Company’s ability to compete effectively on price and support services; the Company’s ability to increase revenues and revenue opportunities; continued and increasing the growth of the Company’s Transaction Services segment. The Company’s ability to successfully resolve litigation; the Company’s ability to comply with governmental regulation of the industry; and the Company’s ability to meet expectations regarding future capital needs and the availability of credit and other financing sources.

     All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any projections of earnings, revenues, synergies, accretion, margins or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, including the execution of integration and restructuring plans and the anticipated timing of filings, approvals and closings relating to the merger or other planned acquisitions; any statements concerning proposed new products, services, developments or industry rankings; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

     Actual results may differ significantly from projected results due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the soundness of the Company’s business strategies relative to perceived market opportunities; the Company’s assessment of the healthcare industry’s need, desire and ability to become technology efficient; market acceptance of the Company’s products and services; and the Company’s ability and that of its business associates to comply with various government rules regarding healthcare information and patient privacy. These and other risk factors are more fully discussed in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2005, which the Company strongly urges you to read.

     Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. ProxyMed’s future results and shareholder values may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond ProxyMed’s ability to control or predict. Shareholders are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. For those statements, ProxyMed claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking

statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. ProxyMed expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Available Information

     ProxyMed’s Internet address is www.proxymed.com. ProxyMed makes available free of charge on or through its Internet website the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after such material was electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     ProxyMed owns no derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. Revenue derived from international sales are transacted in U.S. Dollars and therefore, ProxyMed does not believe that it is exposed to material risks related to foreign currency exchange rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)), under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon such evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission rules and forms.

     There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during this quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     In December of 2001, Insurdata Marketing Services, Inc. (“IMS”) filed a lawsuit against HealthPlan Services, Inc. (“HPS”), a former subsidiary of PlanVista, for unspecified damages in excess of $75,000. The complaint alleges that HPS failed to pay commissions to IMS pursuant to an arbitration award rendered in 1996. On January 10, 2005, the court granted summary judgment to IMS on the issue of liability for the arbitration award. The Company has filed an appeal on the issue of liability, and continues to contest vigorously the amount of damages claimed by IMS. The Company has determined exposure to be in the range of $0.6 million to $1.6 million and has accrued $0.6 million.

     In early 2000, four named plaintiffs filed a class action against Fidelity Group, Inc. (“Fidelity”), HPS, Third Party Claims Management, and others, for unspecified damages. The complaint stems from the failure of a Fidelity insurance plan, and alleges unfair and deceptive trade practices; negligent undertaking; fraud; negligent misrepresentation; breach of contract; civil conspiracy; and RICO violations against Fidelity and its contracted administrator, HPS. Two principals of the Fidelity plan have been convicted of insurance fraud and sentenced to prison in a separate proceeding. The class has been certified and the case is proceeding in discovery. The Company is contesting the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of the case or any potential liability.

     In 2004, the Company filed a tax appeal in the State of New York contesting a Notice of Deficiency sent by the State of New York to PlanVista. The notice involved taxes claimed to be due on a deconsolidated basis for the tax years ending December 31, 1999 through December 31, 2001 in an amount of $2.8 million. The Company contends that taxation on a consolidated basis is appropriate and is vigorously pursuing its appeal. However, the Company is unable to determine whether it will be successful or whether it will be obligated to pay some or all of the alleged deficiencies.

EX-10.1 2 g95139exv10w1.txt EX-10.1 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT EXHIBIT 10.1 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered on May 10, 2005 by and between PROXYMED, INC., a Florida corporation headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia (the "Company"), and JOHN LETTKO, an individual currently residing in Orinda, California ("Executive"). WHEREAS, Executive has more than 20 years of CEO and senior executive experience in financial service related transaction and data transmittal, processing, analysis and storage businesses; and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") is willing to employ Executive as its Chief Executive Officer reporting directly and solely to the Board, and to employ him in such capacity, and Executive desires to obtain such employment on, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement: NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth hereinafter and other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 1. Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on May 10th, 2005 (the "Effective Date"), and shall continue for an initial period of four (4) years and shall be automatically renewed from year to year thereafter (hereafter, the initial term and any renewals thereof shall constitute the "Term"), unless either party provides the other party with notice of its intent not to renew this Agreement not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Term, or unless this Agreement is earlier terminated in accordance with the terms in Section 5. Any decision by the Company not to renew this Employment Agreement shall entitle Executive to treat his employment as having been terminated by the Company Without Cause on the last day of the then current Term for purposes of Section 5 below. 2. Position; Duties; Loyalty. a) Position. Executive will be employed by Company and shall render service to Company as its CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, reporting directly and solely to the BOARD, pursuant to the terms, provisions and conditions hereinafter set forth. Executive shall also, within 60 days following the Effective Date, be appointed to, and serve as a director on the Board, and shall continue to so serve as a director until the first annual meeting of the Company occurring after the Executive's initial appointment to the Board. The Board shall use its best efforts to nominate Executive for re-election to the Board at such annual meeting and at each subsequent annual meeting at which he would otherwise be up for reelection if still the CEO. Any failure to nominate Executive to the Board whenever he would otherwise be eligible for re-election to the Board, other than due to or following the termination of his employment with the Company or failure by Executive to meet the applicable requirements for Board membership, shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. Executive, on written notice from the Board to Executive, shall also serve as an officer and/or director of one or more Affiliates of the Company at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. b) Duties. Executive shall be employed by Company on a full-time, exclusive basis. The parties contemplate that Executive shall perform his duties primarily in one or more of the Company's offices during the first 18 months of the Term. Thereafter, Executive shall, subject to approval of the Board, have the right to designate the corporate office location of the Company, and Executive shall relocate, if necessary, to such corporate office location. Executive will be required to travel on business, to the extent customary and usual for Executive's position. Executive shall perform such duties and have such authority and responsibilities customarily accompanying his/her position and as reasonably directed by the BOARD OF DIRECTORS of the Company consistent with the Executive's position. Specifically, and without limitation, Executive shall perform the duties and have the authority and responsibilities customarily accompanying those of a CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER of a public company, including without limitations, those prescribed by the Company's By-laws. c) Loyalty. Executive shall devote his full business time and attention to the Company and shall give Executive's reasonable best efforts to the business of the Company and to the performance of the duties and obligations described in this Agreement. Except as may be authorized in writing by the Board of Directors of the Company, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, alone, or as a partner, officer, director or shareholder of any other institution, be engaged in any other commercial activities whatsoever, or continue or assume any other corporate affiliations except for (i) an Affiliate; (ii) any passive investments; and (iii) minimal time utilized for business activities that do not compete with the business of the Company or its subsidiaries. As used herein, the term "Affiliate" shall refer to any entity that is owned or controlled by, under common ownership or control with, or which owns or controls the Company or any of its subsidiaries, now or in the future. Nothing herein shall restrict Executive's passive stock and other investments consistent with applicable law and the Company's Insider Trading policy and Code of Ethics, or preclude Executive from addressing in a reasonable manner from time to time, during or outside of regular business hours, any personal family, financial, health or legal matters that may arise. In addition, nothing herein shall preclude Executive from serving on any trade or industry organization board or charitable or community board, with the written consent of the Board. d) Investment. No later than 5 days after the Effective Date, or such other time as shall be established by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Company's Insider Trading policy, the Executive shall purchase no less than $500,000 of the common shares of the Company at the closing price on the Effective Date. Such shares shall be unregistered and subject to restrictions on transfer. The Company shall use good faith efforts to register such shares at the earliest possible opportunity in the Company's next commercial registration of common shares. 3. Compensation and Expenses. a) Salary. In consideration for the services rendered by the Executive under this Agreement, Company shall pay the Executive a base salary of not less than $400,000 per annum (such salary rate if and as increased from time to time, the "Base Salary") in accordance with the Company's customary payroll practices (but not less frequently than monthly). Executive performance reviews (with or without a salary increase) will be conducted at least annually by the Compensation Committee or as otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. The Company shall adjust Executive's Base Salary for any salary increases approved in writing by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. b) Incentive Compensation. The Executive shall be entitled to and may earn such annual bonuses ("Bonuses") as may be awarded from time to time by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company, sitting as a whole or in committee, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, pursuant to any bonus plan ("Bonus Plan") implemented by the Compensation Committee or the Board, and to participate in any stock option plans ("Stock Option Plans"), or any plan providing for restricted stock share or unit awards or any other equity-based awards, or cash-based long-term incentive awards, or any other Bonus Plans which the Company may now have or in the future develop and for which the Executive or executive officers generally qualify for eligibility under the terms of such plan. 2 c) Initial Stock Options. Executive will receive on the Effective Date an initial stock option grant , and agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (updated to reflect this Section 3(c)) and incorporated herein by reference, which option shall have a ten (10) year term, and which shall allow Executive to purchase all or any part of up to 400,000 shares of ProxyMed common stock (the "Stock Options") at its fair market value defined as the price at which common stock is reported to have traded on the NASDAQ System at the close of business on the Effective Date. The options will vest over a four (4) year period pro rata (1/48 each month) with the first monthly installment vesting thirty (30) days following the Effective Date. In addition, 200,000 10-year options to purchase ProxyMed common stock at its fair market value on the Effective Date will be granted on the Effective Date to the Executive with performance vesting triggers at $15, $20, $25 and $30 for 50,000 shares each such that 50,000 shares will vest when the closing stock price reaches the trigger amount for each such 50,000 share option for ten (10) consecutive trading days. The Stock Options described above and granted hereunder, for an aggregate of 600,000 shares (collectively the "Initial Stock Options") shall be governed exclusively by and issued in accordance with the terms of the ProxyMed 2002 Stock Option Plan, as amended through 2004 (the "2002 Option Plan") attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference; subject, however, to the express terms of this Section 3(c) and of this Agreement generally (as it relates to the Initial Stock Options). Specifically, such Initial Stock Options shall provide that, once vested, they shall remain fully exercisable until the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the option grant date or the date that is 18 months following the termination of Executive's Employment with the Company, and that they shall be fully vested in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2002 Option Plan). In addition, in the event of a Change of Control any excise taxes incurred on any accelerated vesting of Executive's stock options, whenever granted, shall be covered by a full excise tax gross up, and the Company shall defray fully any income and excise tax due on such gross up. In the event of termination due to death or disability, Executive's options shall vest, and shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the 2002 Option Plan, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Finally, for avoidance of doubt, in the event of any discrepancy, the provisions of this Section 3(c) and this Agreement (as it relates to the Initial Stock Options), if more favorable to Executive, shall control over the form of option agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. d) Annual Bonus Opportunity. Each year, Executive may earn a target annual cash bonus of 100% of Base Salary (the "Target Bonus"), based on such award criteria as may be set, and such final earned award determinations as may be made from time to time at the discretion of the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company or pursuant to an Incentive Compensation Plan (as defined herein) ( the "Annual Bonuses"). By not later than June 30th, 2005 or as otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, the Compensation Committee (or the Board) and Executive shall negotiate, subject to the final approval of the Board (if applicable), within 30 days thereafter, an incentive compensation plan for Executive for 2005 with objective performance criteria (the "2005 Incentive Compensation Plan"), which will be incorporated into this Agreement at the time it is placed into effect. Thereafter, each year, after consulting with Executive, the Compensation Committee (or the Board), in its sole discretion, shall put in place an updated annual bonus plan providing Executive with at least the same size target annual bonus opportunity (when expressed as a percentage of current salary) as applicable for 2005 on a full-year basis. e) Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct or withhold from all compensation paid to Executive hereunder any and all sums required to be withheld, including without limitation for Federal income, social security and Medicare taxes and all state and local taxes now applicable or that may be enacted and become applicable in the future. 3 f) Reimbursement of Expenses. (i) During the Term, the Company shall reimburse the Executive, in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Company in effect from time to time with respect to other senior executives of the Company of similar rank and status, for all reasonable and necessary expenses and disbursements incurred, including reasonable and necessary travel (and reasonable temporary housing and related expenses in the Atlanta, Georgia area during the first 18 months of the Term), by him for or on behalf of the Company in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder upon presentation by the Executive to the Company of appropriate and accurate documentation therefor. (ii) In addition to, but not in duplication of, any amounts contemplated by paragraph (i) above, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all expenses incurred (not to exceed an aggregate amount of $200,000.00) to move his spouse and children to a new work location to be determined by the Executive with the prior approval of the Board. The Company may, in its sole discretion, extend such eighteen (18) month period.

The Company may terminate Executive's employment with the Company for Disability on 30 days prior written notice after the 6 month period referred to below, unless Executive returns to full-time active service prior to or within those 30 days. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" is defined to mean the inability of Executive due to illness or physical or mental infirmity (as reasonably determined by a physician selected by Executive and as reasonably confirmed by a physician acceptable to the Company) to perform Executive's duties hereunder on a full-time basis for six (6) consecutive months with reasonable accommodation by the Company. Upon termination due to death or Disability, Executive or Executive's beneficiary or estate or legal representative shall be entitled to receive the For Cause Separation Pay, plus (i) any death or disability benefits to which Executive would otherwise be entitled under Company policy and procedure, (ii) any stock options that are already vested as of the termination date; and (iii) any vested amounts under any Company-sponsored tax-qualified or non-qualified retirement, savings or profit-sharing plan or program. b) Termination by Company For Cause. The Company may terminate Executive's employment with the Company at any time "For Cause" effective immediately, unless stated otherwise in writing, upon giving written notice thereof to Executive, but provided that Executive has had a reasonable prior opportunity for a Board level hearing with his legal counsel present, which notice shall state with reasonable specificity the facts supporting the termination "For Cause." "For Cause" shall include the following: (i) Conviction of, or pleading guilty to, a felony or any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, fraud, dishonesty or theft; (ii) Executive's gross negligence or significant willful misconduct relating to the Company that is materially injurious to the Company; or (iii) Executive's excessive use of alcohol or illegal drugs that (A) interferes with the performance of Executive's duties hereunder; and (B) continues even after written warning regarding such excessive use is actually received by Executive; or (iv) Any material breach by Executive of this Agreement or of any of the Company's applicable written policies then in effect (but only if timely communicated to Executive in writing), including without limitations, the Company's Code of Ethics for Officers and Directors, with prior written notice thereof by the Company, provided such notice is actually received by Executive and an appropriate period (of not less than 30 business days) to cure such material breach, if such breach is curable, is given and has expired without a cure by Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, an act or omission by Executive shall not be considered "willful" if done or not done in the good faith belief that such action or inaction was in, or not contrary to, the best interests of the Company. Any action to terminate Executive for Cause shall require a majority approval vote of the independent directors on the Board. Upon the Company's termination of this Agreement and Executive's employment For Cause, the Executive shall be entitled to, and the Company shall pay the Executive the following "For Cause 5 Separation Pay": the Executive's Base Salary and accrued benefits through the effective date of termination at the Executive's then current rate (including any applicable pro rated bonus and accrued vacation pay). Except as provided for herein or in any other written agreement, the Company shall have no other liabilities or obligations to Executive upon payment in full of the For Cause Separation Pay. In addition, Executive shall remain entitled to any stock options that are already vested as of the termination date. Executive shall also be entitled to any vested amounts under any Company-sponsored tax-qualified or non-qualified retirement, savings or profit-sharing plan or program c) Termination by Company Without Cause. The Company may terminate Without Cause Executive's employment with the Company or this Agreement at any time for any or no reason. Such termination by Company shall be deemed to be "Without Cause" by the Company. In the event of termination by the Company pursuant to this Section, the Executive shall be entitled to and shall receive, and the Company shall promptly pay, the following "Without Cause Separation Pay": (i) a lump sum amount equal to 12 months of Executive's Base Salary as of the date of termination; plus (ii) a lump sum amount equal to any accrued vacation not already taken and a pro rata portion of any bonus that would have been paid to Executive under any bonus plan adopted by the Company's Compensation Committee or Board of Directors for the year of termination if the Company and Executive had met the targeted goals to the date of termination; and shall also provide Executive with the continuation for 12 months from the effective date of termination of, or any equivalent lump sum payment for, all of Executive's benefits including, without limitation, all insurance benefit coverages (including all medical, dental, optical, hospital, life and short-term and long-term disability insurance coverages or any Company self-insured equivalents), on the same terms and conditions and on the same after-tax basis to Executive as had been provided to Executive prior to the termination, all of the foregoing which shall be payable in accordance with the Company's customary payroll practices then in effect. Any COBRA coverage rights shall commence after the later of the date on which the continuation rights provided in the preceding sentence end, or the date on which full payment of all of the Section 5(c)(i) amount is received. Executive shall also be entitled to any vested amounts under any Company-sponsored tax-qualified or non-qualified retirement, savings or profit-sharing plan or program Finally, subject to the provisions of Section 3(c) above in the case of the Initial Stock Options, Executive's rights with respect to his then vested stock options and any other then outstanding equity-based awards, long-term cash-based incentives and/or deferred compensation shall be governed by the applicable award agreements and plan documents. All time vesting options will continue to vest for 12 months, and one-half of all unvested performance-based options will immediately vest on the termination date. The Company shall have the right to request the execution by Executive of a mutual release agreement with mutually agreed-on language in connection with the payment of the lump sum amount referred to in Section 5(c)(i) above, but Executive's rights to such payment (and his other rights as noted above) shall not be conditioned on the execution of any such release d) Termination by Executive For Good Reason. Executive may terminate this Agreement for "Good Reason" by giving the Company thirty (30) days prior written notice (the "Notice Period")] to that effect, specifically stating Executive's Good Reason for terminating in sufficient detail to allow the Company to respond effectively to the notice, with the termination becoming effective on the 31st day after such notice is actually received by the Company (the "Termination Date"), unless the Company at its option cures any alleged breach, if curable, on or before the Termination Date. The stated Good Reason must be one or more of any of the reasons defined as a "Good Reason" herein. As used in this Agreement, "Good Reason" means termination by Executive only for any one or more of the following reasons: 6 (i) Any reduction of Executive's then-current Base Salary or Target Annual Bonus opportunity or a failure by the Company to issue the Initial Stock Options as set forth in Section 3(c) above on a fully S-8 registered basis - in each case without Executive's prior written consent; or (ii) Any material breach of this Agreement by the Company, not cured within 30 days after prior written notice of such breach by the Executive; (iii) Any reduction, made Without Cause (as defined above), in the duties, authority, or responsibilities of the office of Chief Executive Officer of the Company. An Executive's termination for any of the foregoing Good Reasons shall be treated the same as a termination "Without Cause" by the Company for purposes of calculating separation pay, entitling the Executive to the Without Cause Separation Pay set forth in Section 5(c), including the same treatment of Initial Stock Options (subject to Section 3(c) above), any other stock options and any other then outstanding equity-based awards, long-term cash-based incentives and/or deferred compensation. Executive shall also be entitled to any vested amounts under any Company-sponsored tax-qualified or non-qualified retirement, savings or profit-sharing plan or program. e) Termination by Executive Without Good Reason. Executive may terminate this Agreement for any reason (other than Good Reason) or no reason at any time with not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company (such termination shall be called a termination "Without Good Reason"). After the Company receives notice of a termination Without Good Reason, the Company may by written notice to the Executive cause the effective date of any such termination to be accelerated without causing such termination to be considered a termination by the Company Without Cause, but in such case the Company shall keep Executive on its payroll for the balance of the 30 day notice period for all purposes, or provide Executive with an equivalent lump sum payment for his Base Salary, Benefits, etc. for the balance of such 30-day period - separate and apart from any other payments to which Executive may be entitled. Upon Executive's termination of his employment Without Good Reason, the Executive shall, in addition to any amounts referred to in the preceding sentence, also be entitled to, and the Company shall pay the Executive, the following "Without Good Reason Separation Pay": the Executive's Base Salary and accrued benefits through the effective date of termination at the Executive's then current rate (including any applicable pro rated bonus and earned/accrued but unused vacation pay), and any awarded but not yet paid bonus amounts or vested deferred compensation, and any vested amounts under any Company-sponsored tax-qualified or non-qualified retirement, savings or profit-sharing plan or program. Finally, subject to Section 3(c) above, Executive's rights with respect to his then vested stock options and any other then outstanding equity-based awards, long-term cash-based incentives and/or deferred compensation shall be governed by the applicable award agreements and plan documents. Except as provided for herein or in any other written agreement, the Company shall have no other liabilities or obligations to Executive upon payment in full of the Without Good Reason Separation Pay. For avoidance of doubt, a termination by Executive for any reason that is also a Good Reason shall be treated as a termination by Executive for Good Reason as set forth in Section 5(d). f) Return of Company Property. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Executive shall promptly return to the Company all property of the Company in Executive's possession, including Confidential Information (as defined below), provided that Executive shall have the right to retain his personal diaries and personal employment and compensation and benefits records including, without limitation, copies of this Agreement and any other cash compensation, employee benefit, stock option, restricted stock share or unit award, stock purchase, long-term incentive, deferred compensation or other employment-related plan, program, award or other agreements or documents. Executive acknowledges 7 that the Company may withhold any compensation and benefits owed to Executive hereunder until all such property is returned in good condition, normal wear and tear excepted. g) Change in Control. If, within six (6) months prior to a Change of Control, as defined in Executive's Stock Option Agreement, the Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 5(c) or (d)), then, (i) any unvested options shall vest as of the date of the Change of Control and shall remain vested and exercisable as specified in Executive's Stock Option Agreement, and (ii) Executive shall receive, and the Company shall pay the Executive, the "Without Cause Separation Pay" set forth in Section 5(c) above. 6.

(v) Executive agrees and acknowledges that the Confidential Information of the Company is valuable, special and unique to its business, that such business depends on such Confidential Information, and that the Company wishes to protect such Confidential Information by keeping it confidential for the exclusive use and benefit of the Company. Based on the foregoing, Executive agrees to undertake the following obligations with respect to such Confidential Information: (1) Executive agrees to keep any and all Confidential Information in trust for the use and benefit of the Company; (2) Executive agrees that, except as required by Executive's duties or authorized in writing by the Company, Executive will not at any time during and for a period of three (3) years after the termination of Executive's employment with the Company, disclose, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information of the Company to any third party; except as may be required by applicable law or court order, in which case Executive shall promptly notify Company so as to allow it to seek a protective order if it so elects; and provided that the all information constituting a trade secret under the law of the state of Georgia shall continue to be held in confidence for so long as such information constitutes a trade secret unless it becomes known within the industry outside of the Company other than due to any act or Executive; (3) Executive agrees to take all reasonable steps necessary, or reasonably requested by the Company, to ensure that all Confidential Information of the Company is kept confidential for the use and benefit of the Company and its subsidiaries; and (4) Executive agrees that, upon termination of Executive's employment by the Company or at any other time the Company may in writing so request, Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all materials constituting Confidential Information (including all copies and derivatives thereof) that are in the possession of or under the control of Executive.
