<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">You are presently the &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
of Vital Images,&nbsp;Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;).&#160; The Company considers the establishment and
maintenance of a sound and vital management to be essential to protecting and
enhancing the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.&#160; In this connection, the Company recognizes
that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a
Change in Control may arise and that such possibility and the uncertainty and
questions which it may raise among management may result in the departure or
distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its
shareholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Accordingly, the Board
has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to minimize the risk that
Company management will depart prior to a Change in Control, thereby leaving
the Company without adequate management personnel during such a critical
period, and that appropriate steps also be taken to reinforce and encourage the
continued attention and dedication of members of the Company&#146;s management to
their assigned duties without distraction in circumstances arising from the
possibility of a Change in Control.&#160; In
particular, the Board believes it important, should the Company or its
shareholders receive a proposal for transfer of control, that you be able to
continue your management responsibilities without being influenced by the
uncertainties of your own personal situation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board recognizes that
continuance of your position with the Company involves a substantial commitment
to the Company in terms of your personal life and professional career and the
possibility of foregoing present and future career opportunities, for which the
Company receives substantial benefits.&#160;
Therefore, to induce you to remain in the employ of the Company, this
Agreement, which has been approved by the Board, sets forth the benefits which
the Company agrees will be provided to you in the event your employment with
the Company is terminated in connection with a Change in Control under the
circumstances described below.</font></p>

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any of

Agreement, together with any other payments, benefits or awards which you have
the right to receive from the Company, or any corporation which is a member of
an &#147;affiliated group&#148; (as defined in section&nbsp;1504(a)&nbsp;of the Code
without regard to section&nbsp;1504(b)&nbsp;of the Code) of which the Company
is a member (&#147;Affiliate&#148;), constitute an &#147;excess parachute payment&#148; (as defined
in section&nbsp;280G(b)&nbsp;of the Code), two calculations will be
performed.&#160; In the first calculation, the
payments, benefits or awards will be reduced by the amount the Company deems
necessary so that none of the payments or benefits under the Agreement
(including from the existing Stock Option and Incentive Plan) are excess
parachute payments.&#160; In the second
calculation, the payments will not be reduced so as to eliminate an excess
parachute payment, but will be reduced by the amount of the applicable excise
tax as imposed by section&nbsp;4999 of the Code.&#160; The two calculations will be compared and the
calculation providing the largest net payment to the employee will be
utilized.&#160; The calculations must be made
in good faith by legal counsel or a certified public accountant selected by the
Company, and such determination will be conclusive and binding upon you and the
Company.&#160; If a reduction in payments or
benefits is required by the comparison above, the payments or benefits under
the Agreement shall be reduced in the order that minimizes the amount of total
reduction in payments and benefits under the Agreement as a result of this
provision.</p>
