Dear Jim:
Pursuant to recent discussions with the board of directors, we are please to extend the term of your position as interim Chief Executive Officer effective May 25, 2008 which is the end date of your prior agreement with the Company. The following will set forth our mutual understanding as to the compensation that we have agreed to:
1. You are being engaged on a consulting basis with an expected length of tenure of 3 months unless modified in writing by mutual agreement.
2. Your fee for service shall be $15,000 per month, payable at the beginning of each monthly period.
3. As an incentive, you will receive 112,500 non-qualified stock options at the closing market price on the date approved by Aspyra’s Board of Directors pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan. 1/12 of the options will be fully vested at the end of each week until all options are vested or your tenure as CEO is terminated. The options will have a five year term.
4. Aspyra will reimburse you for all reasonable and customary business related expenses in accordance with our standard policies and procedures.
5. Your responsibilities will be to direct the Company’s operations. You will report directly to the Chairman of the Board.
Jim, we are excited about extending the term of your consulting services with Aspyra and helping us build a world class healthcare informatics company. We are confident that the skills and business ethic that you possess will allow you to make a significant contribution to the company. The senior team will provide you with whatever support that may required for Aspyra to meet or exceed its objectives.
