  following Agreement regarding Mr. King's resignation from the Company
  effective as of November 30, 1993.  In this Agreement, "Employee" refers to
  Mr. King.  "Company" refers to Shared Medical Systems Corporation.

  A.  Settlement Amounts.
      ------------------ 

  1.  PAYMENTS.

  After November 30, 1993 and until the earlier of October 31, 1994 or
  Employee's subsequent full-time employment (including full-time self-
  employment), the Company will pay Employee the following on a monthly basis:

      (1) an amount equal to Employee's current monthly salary before taxes; (2)
  premium payments to continue Employee's medical and dental benefits under
  COBRA; (3) premium payments to continue Employee's life insurance coverage of
  $250,000 under an individual policy converted from the group policy; and (4)
  premium payments to continue Employee's disability insurance coverage at the
  same level of current Company policy.  If Employee continues medical and
  dental coverage under COBRA or life insurance or disability coverage under the
  individual policies after the above stated time period, Employee will be
  responsible for the premium payments.

  If prior to October 31,1994 Employee is employed part-time, or self-employed
  part-time, SMS will pay Employee  monthly (i) the difference between
  Employee's current monthly salary before taxes and the amount of Employee's
  income from employment or self-employment before taxes during the month, and
  (ii) the amounts described in items (2), (3) and (4) above.

  Employee will remain covered under the term life insurance policy provided by
  SMS until the first anniversary of such policy on July 18, 1994.  Employee
  will be eligible for retirement pay of $5000 monthly for 20 years beginning at
  age 58.  Subsequent to October 31, 1994, upon Employee's request, SMS will
  consider starting the retirement payments at an earlier date, on a discounted
  basis; the number of monthly payments would not change.  However, SMS will not
  commit to this change at this time.  In the event the Employee dies prior to
  receiving full payment of his retirement income, his spouse at the time of his
  death shall receive the remaining monthly payments until the earlier of (i)
  her death or (ii) the time at which all required 

                                      1

  payments have been made.  Employee's Retirement Savings Plan monies will be 
  paid in accordance with Plan provisions.

  Notwithstanding the above, SMS shall have the right to discontinue payments
  of the amount equal to Employee's monthly salary (or a portion of it) and
  the bonus payment if Employee hires or solicits for employment any person
  who is currently an SMS employee, or if Employee makes any negative comments
  about SMS (except as required under subpoena).

  2.  OPTIONS.

      a.  GRANT UNDER THE 1986 PLAN.

      Employee holds 37,800 currently exercisable Options granted by the Company
  to Employee on January 9, 1991 under the Company's 1986 Non-Qualified Stock
  Option Plan.  Company will cause such Options to remain exercisable until
  April 30, 1994, subject to the restriction below.  Company will make the
  "Trade Saver" cashless exercise program available to Employee for the cashless
  exercise and sale of the 37,800 Options at any time between the date of this
  Agreement and April 30, 1994, subject to the restriction below.

      b.  GRANT UNDER THE 1982 PLAN.

  accordance with the 1982 Plan, these 20,000 Options must be exercised on or
  before November 30, 1993, the effective date of Employee's resignation,
  subject to the restriction below.

      c.  RESTRICTION.

      Employee acknowledges that the Company is currently in a "black-out"
  period, during which the Company prohibits all trading of its securities by
  executive officers, except for exercises of outstanding options.  Employee
  further acknowledges that the Trade Saver cashless exercise program, because
  it involves a sale of the shares issued upon exercise of options, will not be
  available to Employee during such black-out period.  Employee agrees not to
  sell any shares (including those resulting from exercised options) prior to
  notification from the Company that the black-out period has expired.

  accordance with the normal Company payroll cycle. Employee understands that
  the Company will deduct from the settlement payments any federal withholding
  taxes and other deductions the Company is required by law to make from wage
  payments to employees.  Employee will be responsible for any and

      ----------------                                                          
                                                                                
  For and in consideration of the foregoing benefits and payments, which you    
  agree are more than the Company is required to pay under its normal policies  
  and procedures, you have agreed to release the Company, any related companies,
  and the employees and directors of any of them from all claims or demands     
  Employee may have based on Employee's employment with the Company or the

  Americans with Disabilities Act which prohibits discrimination based on       
  disability; or any other federal, state or local laws or regulations          
  prohibiting employment discrimination.  This includes a release by Employee of
  any claims relating to pay and commissions owed or any other form of
  additional compensation other than as set forth in the first paragraph. This

  may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act which arise after the
  date the Employee signs this Agreement.

  in the above paragraph.  If Employee breaks Employee's promise of no future
  lawsuits and files a lawsuit based on legal claims that Employee has released,

  or the directors or employees of any of them, including reasonable attorneys'
  fees, in defending against the Employee's claim.

  D.  Non-Admission of Liability.
      --------------------------
