Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
      On March 22, 2006, Emageon Inc. (“the Company”) appointed Grady Floyd to the position of Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Mr. Floyd executed an Employment Agreement on March 30, 2006 to be effective as of the date of his appointment to the position of Chief Operating Officer. For a description of the material terms of the Employment Agreement, see item 5.02 of this Report. Such description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the terms of the Employment Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report and incorporated herein by this reference.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Offices; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers
      The Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Floyd effective March 22, 2006. The Employment Agreement provides for a rolling twelve month term. Mr. Floyd’s annual base salary is $255,000 and he is eligible for discretionary annual bonuses and stated fringe benefits. If Mr. Floyd is terminated without cause, he would receive severance pay for the remaining term of the agreement or for 12 months, whichever is greater plus a pro-rated portion of his target annual bonus for the year in which his date of termination occurs, calculated as if all target financial and other performance goals were attained. If he resigns during the 12 months following a “Change of Control” as defined in the Employment Agreement, he would receive severance pay for 18 months. These severance benefits would be paid in a lump-sum. Mr. Floyd’s stock option and restricted stock awards under the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan would become vested and immediately exercisable in the event of a Change of Control or termination without cause.
