 Exhibit 10.9 
 SXC HEALTH SOLUTIONS CORP. 
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

 SXC Health Solutions Corp., a corporation existing under the laws of the Yukon Territory of Canada (the
“Company”), hereby grants NAME (the “Employee”) as of DATE (the “Grant Date”), pursuant to Section 9 of the Catalyst Health Solutions, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), a restricted
stock unit award (the “Award”) of AWARD AMOUNT restricted stock units, upon and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth below. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan.

 1. Award Subject to Acceptance of Agreement. The Award shall be null and void unless the Employee shall accept this
Agreement by executing it in the space provided below and returning it to the Company. 
 2. Restriction Period and
Vesting. (a) Subject to Section 2(e), the Award shall vest (i) with respect to one-quarter (1/4) of the restricted stock units subject to the Award on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, an additional one-quarter
(1/4) of the restricted stock units subject to the Award on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, an additional one-quarter (1/4) of the restricted stock units subject to the Award on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, and the
remaining one-quarter (1/4) of the restricted stock units subject to the Award on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, or (ii) earlier pursuant to Section 2(b) or (d) hereof (the “Restriction Period”). 

(b) Subject to Section 2(e), if the Company terminates the Employee’s employment by reason of permanent disability or the
Employee’s employment terminates due to death, the Award shall become fully vested as of the effective date of the Employee’s termination of employment or the date of death, as the case may be. For purposes of this Agreement,
“permanent disability” shall mean the inability of the Employee to substantially perform his or her duties for a continuous period of at least six months as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
(the “Committee”). 
 (c) Subject to Section 2(e), if the Employee’s employment by the Company terminates
for any reason other than permanent disability or death, the portion of the Award, if any, which is not vested as of the effective date of the Employee’s termination of employment shall be forfeited and cancelled by the Company. 

(d) (1) In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Appendix A), the Award shall immediately vest in full. 







 (2) In the event of a Change in Control pursuant to paragraph (3) or (4) of
Appendix A, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) (as constituted prior to such Change in Control) may, in its discretion (subject to existing contractual arrangements): 

 

	 	(i)	require that shares of stock of the corporation resulting from such Change in Control, or a parent corporation thereof, be substituted for some or all of the Shares (as
defined in Section 3) issuable pursuant to the Award, as determined by the Board; and/or 

  

	 	(ii)	require the Award, in whole or in part, to be surrendered to the Company by the Employee and to be immediately cancelled by the Company, and provide for the Employee to
receive a cash payment in an amount not less than the amount determined by multiplying the number of restricted stock units subject to the Award immediately prior to such cancellation (but after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to
Section 5(d) of the Plan in respect of any transaction that gives rise to such Change in Control) by the highest per share price offered to holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the “Common
Stock”), in any transaction whereby the Change in Control takes place. 

 (3) The Company may, but is not
required to, cooperate with the Employee if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to assure that any cash payment or substitution in accordance with the
foregoing to the Employee is made in compliance with Section 16 and the rules and regulations thereunder. 
 (e) The
vesting terms in any written employment agreement between the Company or any Affiliate of the Company and the Employee shall prevail over the terms of this Agreement. 
 3. Conversion of Restricted Stock Units and Issuance of Shares. Upon the vesting of all or any portion of the Award in accordance with Section 2 hereof, one share of the Common Stock
shall be issuable for each restricted stock unit that vests on such date (the “Shares”), subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, and not later than 30 days thereafter, the Company will transfer such Shares to
the Employee upon satisfaction of any required tax withholding obligations. No fractional shares shall be issued under this Agreement. 
 4. No Rights as a Shareholder; Dividend Equivalents. Prior to the issuance and transfer of Shares upon vesting, the Employee will be credited with amounts equal to any cash dividends that would be
payable to the Employee if the Employee had been transferred such Shares, which amounts shall accrue during the Restriction Period and be paid in cash upon lapse of the Restriction Period. This Section 4 will not apply with respect to record
dates for dividends occurring prior to the Grant Date or after the Restriction Period has lapsed. During the Restriction Period, the Employee (and any person succeeding to the Employee’s rights pursuant to the Plan) will not be a shareholder of
record of the Shares underlying the Award and will have no voting or other shareholder rights with respect to such Shares. 
 5.
Termination of Award. In the event that the Employee shall forfeit all or a portion of the restricted stock units subject to the Award, the Employee shall promptly return this Agreement to the Company for cancellation. Such cancellation shall
be effective regardless of whether the Employee returns this Agreement. 







 6. Additional Terms and Conditions of Award. 

6.1 Nontransferability of Award. During the Restriction Period, the restricted stock units subject to the Award and not then vested
may not be transferred by the Employee other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to Section 18(g) of the Plan on a beneficiary designation form approved by the Company. Except as permitted by the foregoing, during the
Restriction Period, the restricted stock units subject to the Award and not then vested may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process. Any such attempted sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance, or other disposition of such shares shall be null and void. 

6.2. Withholding Taxes. As a condition precedent to the delivery to the Employee of any of the Shares subject to the Award, the
Employee shall pay to the Company (or shall cause a broker-dealer on behalf of the Employee to pay to the Company) such amount of cash as the Company may be required, under all applicable federal, state, local or other laws or regulations, to
withhold and pay over as income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to the Award. The Employee acknowledges and agrees to satisfy his or her obligation with respect to the Required Tax Payments by selling
such number of Shares subject to the Award as is necessary to make a cash payment to the Company in an amount equal to the Required Tax Payments (or as close thereto as practicable), such sale to be effected on the Employee’s behalf through a
broker (and other procedures) designated by the Company as soon as practicable following any vesting date (with such broker selecting the trade date and the selling price). This Section 6.2 is intended to constitute a written plan pursuant to
Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. To the extent applicable, the Employee shall take actions necessary to ensure that any such sales shall comply with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. 

6.3. Compliance with Applicable Law. The Award is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of
the Shares subject to the Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the vesting of
the restricted stock units or the delivery of the Shares hereunder, the Shares subject to the Award may not be delivered, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or
obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to effect or obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval. 

6.4. Delivery of Certificates. Subject to Section 6.2, as soon as practicable after the vesting of the Award, in whole or in
part, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered one or more certificates issued in the Employee’s name (or such other name as is acceptable to the Company and designated in writing by the Employee) representing the number of vested
shares. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such delivery, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2. 







 6.5. Award Confers No Rights to Continued Employment. In no event shall the granting
of the Award or its acceptance by the Employee give or be deemed to give the Employee any right to continued employment by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company. 
 6.6. Decisions of Board or Committee. The Board or the Committee shall have the right to resolve all questions which may arise in connection with the Award. Any interpretation, determination or
other action made or taken by the Board or the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 6.7. Company to Reserve Shares. The Company shall at all times prior to the cancellation of the Award reserve and keep available, either in its treasury or out of its authorized but unissued shares
of Common Stock, the full number of unvested restricted stock units subject to the Award from time to time. 
 6.8. Agreement
Subject to the Plan; Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan (including the adjustment provision set forth in Section 5(d) thereof) and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. The
Employee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. This Award is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as a “short-term deferral,” within the meaning
of regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with such intent and in a manner that avoids the imposition of taxes and other penalties under Section 409A of the
Code. The Company reserves the right to amend this Agreement to the extent it determines in its sole discretion such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law, including but not limited to Section 409A of the Code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the Company be responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest or other losses or expenses incurred by the Employee due to any failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

 7. Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 7.1. Meaning of Certain Terms. As used herein, the term “vest” shall mean no longer subject to forfeiture and all rights hereunder shall be deemed to be vested. As used herein, employment
by the Company shall include employment by an Affiliate of the Company. 
 7.2. Successors. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company and any person or persons who shall, upon the death of the Employee, acquire any rights hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or the Plan. 

7.3. Notices. All notices, requests or other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be made in writing by

 7.4. Governing Law. This Agreement and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Delaware and construed in accordance therewith without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.

with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These documents are available, free of charge, on the website of the SEC (www.sec.gov) and on the Company’s website (www.sxc.com, under Investor Relations/ Regulatory Filings), as
