determination of a majority of its members. In addition, any vote or determination of the Committee may be made, without a meeting, by a writing or writings signed by all of the members of the Committee. In addition, the Committee

may authorize any one or more of its members to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Committee.

Committee or such person may have under the Plan. The Committee may employ such legal or other counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan and may rely upon any opinion or computation received from any
such counsel, consultant or agent. Expenses incurred by the Committee in the engagement of such counsel, consultant or agent shall be paid by the Company or the Subsidiary whose employees have benefited from the Plan, as determined by the Committee.


  

	4.5	Determinations and Interpretations by the Committee. All determinations and interpretations made by the Committee shall be binding and conclusive to the maximum
extent permitted by law on all Participants and their heirs, successors, and legal representatives. 

  

	4.6	Liability. No member of the Board, no member of the Committee and no employee of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be liable for any act or failure to act
hereunder, except in circumstances involving his or her bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or liable for any act or failure to act hereunder by any other member or employee or by any agent to whom duties in connection with the
administration of the Plan have been delegated. 

  

	4.7	Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify members of the Committee and any agent of the Committee who is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, against

hereto. 

  

	5.2	Performance Shares. The Committee may in its sole discretion grant Retention Awards to Participants in the form of Performance Shares as set forth on Exhibit

	6.0	TAXES 

  

	6.1	Withholding Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to withhold from any and all payments made to a Participant under the Plan all federal,
state, local and/or other taxes or imposts which the Company determines are required to be so withheld from such payments or by reason of any other payments made to or on behalf of the Participant or for his or her benefit hereunder. With respect to
withholding required upon the vesting of Performance Shares or upon any other taxable event arising as a result of a Retention Award, a Participant may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold
shares of Company stock having a fair market value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax which would be imposed on the transaction. All such elections shall be subject to any procedures, restrictions or
limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. 

  

	6.2	Code Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A, and the Plan and all applicable Retention Awards shall be
construed and applied in a manner consistent with this intent. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary: (a) the Committee shall have full authority to operate the Plan and to override any provision in the Plan in order
for the Plan to be fully compliant – both in form and in operation – with Code Section 409A; (b) each and every payment made under Plan shall be treated as a separate payment and not as a series of payments; and (c) if the
Participant is a “specified employee” (determined in accordance with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(2)) as of the date of Termination, and if any payment, benefit or entitlement provided for in the
Plan (i) constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and (ii) cannot be paid or provided in a manner otherwise provided herein or otherwise without subjecting the Participant to
additional tax, interest and/or penalties under Code Section 409A, then any such payment, benefit or entitlement that is payable during the first six (6) months following the date of Termination shall be paid or provided to the Participant
in a lump sum cash payment to be made on the earlier of (x) the Participant’s death or (y) the first business day of the seventh calendar month immediately following the month in which the date of Termination occurs.


  

	6.3	No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. No person connected with the Plan in any capacity, including, but not limited to, the Company and any Subsidiary and their
directors, officers, agents and employees makes any representation, commitment, or guarantee that any tax treatment, including, but not limited to, federal, state and local income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to
benefits or amounts payable or provided under the Plan, or paid to or for the benefit of a Participant under the Plan, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to a Participant on account of participation in the Plan.


  

	7.0	TERM OF PLAN; AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 

  

	7.1	Term of Plan. The Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until the Board terminates or suspends the Plan in accordance with
Section 7.3 below. 

  

	7.2	Amendment of Plan. The Plan may be amended by the Board at any time with or without prior notice; provided, however, that the Plan shall not be amended
after the Transaction Date without the written consent of a majority of the Participants. 

  

	7.3	Termination of Plan. The Plan may be terminated or suspended by the Board at any time with or without prior notice; provided, however, that the Plan shall
not be terminated or suspended after the Transaction Date without the written consent of a majority of the Participants. 

  

	7.4	No Adverse Effect. If the Plan is amended, terminated, or suspended in accordance with Section 7.2 or 7.3 above, such action shall not adversely affect the
Retention Awards of any Participant who, at the date of such amendment, termination or suspension, is already receiving or entitled to receive Retention Awards under the Plan. 


  
 5 








  

	8.0	MISCELLANEOUS 

  

	8.1	No Right, Title, or Interest in Company or Subsidiary Assets. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any assets of the Company
or any Subsidiary or any investments which the Company or any Subsidiary may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to
create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and any Participant, legal representative or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any
Subsidiary under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary. 

  

	8.2	No Right to Continued Employment. The Participant’s rights, if any, to continue to serve the Company or any Subsidiary as an employee shall not be enlarged
or otherwise affected by his or her designation as a Participant under the Plan, and the Company or the applicable Subsidiary reserves the right to terminate the employment of any employee at any time. The adoption of the Plan shall not be deemed to
give any employee, or any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary. 

  

	8.3	Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Illinois without reference to principles of conflict of laws, except as
superseded by applicable federal law. 

  

	8.4	Severability. If any term or condition of the Plan shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent or in any application, then the remainder of the Plan, with
the exception of such invalid or unenforceable provision, shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in effect and application to its fullest extent. 


 

	8.5	Incapacity. If the Committee determines that a Participant is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, any benefit due the
Participant may be paid to the Participant’s spouse or to any other person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expense for such Participant (including a duly appointed guardian, committee or other legal representative), and any such
payment shall be a complete discharge of the Company’s obligation hereunder. 

  

	8.6	Transferability of Rights. The Company shall have the unrestricted right to transfer its obligations under the Plan with respect to one or more Participants to
any person, including, but not limited to, any purchaser of all or any part of the Company’s business. No Participant shall have any right to commute, encumber, transfer or otherwise dispose of or alienate any present or future right or
expectancy which the Participant may have at any time to receive benefits hereunder, which benefits and the right thereto are expressly declared to be non-assignable and nontransferable, except to the extent required by law. Any attempt to transfer
or assign a benefit, or any rights granted hereunder, by a Participant or the spouse of a Participant shall, in the sole discretion of the Committee (after consideration of such facts as it deems pertinent), be grounds for terminating any rights of
the Participant to any portion of the Plan benefits not previously paid or provided.

The table below illustrates the threshold, target and maximum Performance Share vesting and payout on an aggregate basis. If the performance goals are

sole discretion whether the vesting requirements of the Performance Shares have been satisfied within 45 days following the end of each of Year 1 and Year 2, and any vested Performance Shares shall be paid promptly after such determination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Performance Shares will fully vest for a Participant in Award Level Blue, Green, Red or Orange upon such Participant’s Termination due to death or by the Company for Disability and, for a Participant in Award

This RELEASE (“Release”) dated as of this      day of
            , 20      between Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
             (the “Employee”). 
 WHEREAS, the
Employee is a participant in the Company’s Incentive Retention Plan (the “Plan”); and 
 WHEREAS, the
Employee’s employment with the Company and/or its subsidiaries (has been) (will be) terminated effective             ; and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan, the Employee is entitled to certain compensation and benefits upon such termination,
contingent upon the execution of this Release; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements
contained herein and in the Plan, the Company and the Employee agree as follows: 
 1. The Employee, on [his/her] own behalf and
on behalf of [his/her] heirs, estate and beneficiaries, does hereby release the Company, and any of its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each past or present officer, director, agent, employee, shareholder, and insurer of any such entities,
from any and all claims made, to be made, or which might have been made of whatever nature, whether known or unknown, from the beginning of time, including those that arose as a consequence of [his/her] employment with the Company and/or its
subsidiaries, or arising out of the severance of such employment relationship, or arising out of any act committed or omitted during or after the existence of such employment relationship, all up through and including the date on which this Release
is executed, including, but not limited to, those which were, could have been or could be the subject of an administrative or judicial proceeding filed by the Employee or on [his/her] behalf under federal, state or local law, whether by statute,

administrative or judicial charges or complaints. The Employee relinquishes any right to future employment with the Company and/or its subsidiaries and the Company and/or its subsidiaries shall have the right to refuse to re-employ the Employee
without liability. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that even though claims and facts in addition to those now known or believed by [him/her] to exist may subsequently be discovered, it is [his/her] intention to fully settle and release all
claims [he/she] may have against the Company and/or its subsidiaries and the persons and entities described above, whether known, unknown or suspected. 
 2. The Employee acknowledges that [he/she] has been provided at least 21 days to review the Release and has been advised to review it with an attorney of [his/her] choice. In the event the Employee elects
to sign this Release prior to the end of this 21-day period, [he/she] agrees that it is a knowing and voluntary waiver of [his/her] right to wait the full 21 days. The Employee further understands that [he/she] has 7 days after the signing hereof to
revoke it by so notifying the Company in writing, such notice to be received by              within the 7-day period. The Employee further acknowledges that [he/she] has carefully
read this Release, and knows and understands its contents and its binding
