2009 Bonus Plan

At those meetings, the Board, at the recommendation of the Committee, also approved the 2009 Bonus Plan (the "2009 Plan"). The 2009 Plan was effective beginning on January 1, 2009 and will remain effective for fiscal year 2009. The purpose of the 2009 Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing employees with financial rewards upon achievement of specified business objectives, as well as help us attract and retain employees by providing attractive compensation opportunities linked to performance results. All of our employees are eligible to participate in the 2009 Plan, subject in some cases to certain waiting periods and with the exception that certain sales personnel participate in a separate commission incentive plan instead of the 2009 Plan.

Bonuses payable under the 2009 Plan are recommended by the Committee and presented to the Board. Bonuses payable to eligible participants are based on a variety of factors, including both objective and subjective criteria. The objective criteria consist of targets for revenue, net income, the revenue projected to be generated by new contracts into which we enter regardless of when we actually recognize the revenue (the "Contract Revenues") and gross profits of our ERT consulting group, defined as revenue less direct payments made to providers of consulting services (the "Consulting Profits").

For Dr. McKelvey and Messrs. Schneck and Brown, 15% of the bonus will be based on the extent to which we achieve specified revenue targets, 45% will be based on the extent to which we achieve specified net income targets and the remaining 40% will be based on individual performance objectives. For Dr. Morganroth, 30% of the bonus will be based on the extent to which we achieve specified revenue targets and the remaining 70% will be based on the extent to which we achieve specified net income targets. For Dr. Litwin, $140,595 of his bonus opportunity will be allocated as follows: 15% of the bonus will be based on the extent to which we achieve specified revenue targets, 40% will be based on the extent to which we achieve specified net income targets, 20% will be based on the extent to which we achieve specified Contract Revenues targets and the remaining 25% will be based on individual performance objectives. The remaining $70,000 of Dr. Litwin's bonus opportunity will be payable based on our Consulting Profits.

The revenue and net income targets at which bonus plan participants would earn 100% of the bonus opportunity attributable to those targets is slightly higher than the upper end of the range for revenues and net income provided as guidance for 2009 in the Company's press release issued on February 26, 2009. In the current economic climate, the Board intends that the plan participants earn the full bonus opportunity with respect to those targets only if the Company achieves superior performance notwithstanding current economic conditions.

Dr. McKelvey's individual goals focus on executing key initiatives supporting our 2009 business plan, including reviewing and making recommendations regarding potential expansion opportunities, growing our electronic patient reporting outcome business, implementing programs to increase centralization of ECGs in clinical trials and executing plans to enhance our information technology infrastructure. Mr. Schneck's individual goals consist primarily of enhancing the tax efficiency and cash flow of our operations, improving investor relations, implementing improvements to our billing systems and finance/accounting expenses and continuing to improve our planning and forecasting processes. Dr. Litwin's individual goals focus on continuing to improve our quality audit and management systems, participating in our expanded sales and marketing initiatives by representing the Company at meetings, conferences and similar events and improving the profitability of our consulting group. Mr. Brown's individual goals focus on development of strategic partnerships or similar relationships with specified entities or in specific industries or geographic regions.

Our named executive officers will be eligible to receive 50% to 150% of the 2009 bonus opportunity noted in the table above that is allocable to each objective target category, based on the extent to which we achieve the various specified targets, with the exception that Dr. Litwin's bonus for Consulting Profits shall be calculated at 10% of Consulting Profits and shall not exceed the $70,000 bonus opportunity applicable to that target. Amounts payable based on achievement of individual performance objectives can range from 0-100% of the applicable bonus opportunity.

Bonuses are payable based on the extent to which annual targets have been achieved, with the bonuses (if any) normally being paid within ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar year in which the bonuses were earned. Bonuses normally will be paid in cash in a single lump sum, subject to payroll taxes and tax withholdings, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee retains the discretion under the 2009 Plan to adjust the amount of any bonus to be paid, regardless of whether or the extent to which any of the objective criteria, including revenue, net income, Contract Revenues and Consulting Profits targets, are achieved.
