of Directors an Institutional Stockholder is entitled to nominate pursuant to Section 2.1(b)), then
the Institutional Stockholder or Institutional Stockholders whose previously nominated Director
shall have been removed or shall have resigned shall promptly nominate a successor to such
Director, in accordance with this Section 2.1. Each Institutional Stockholder then entitled to
vote for the election of such successor as a Director agrees that it will vote its Shares, or
execute a proxy or written consent, as the case may be, and each Institutional Stockholder and the
Company agree to take such other actions as may be necessary, in each case, in order to ensure that
such successor is elected to the Board as promptly as practicable. If neither the GA Stockholders
nor the HF Stockholders are entitled to participate in the nomination of any vacant Director
position(s), such vacant Director position(s) shall be filled by the Board (upon the recommendation
of the nominating committee of the Board, if then existing) in accordance with the Charter and this
Agreement.

nominees in accordance with) this Section 2.1.

disclose in its annual meeting proxy statement that it is a “controlled company” and the basis for
that determination. If the Company ceases to qualify as a “controlled company” for purposes of the

Stockholder, each Affiliate thereof that indirectly has an interest in the Company and that
acknowledges and agrees to be bound by Section 7.9, in each case that is intended to qualify as a
“venture capital operating company” as defined in the Plan Asset Regulations (each, a “VCOC
Equityholder”), for so long as the VCOC Equityholder, directly or through one or more conduit
Subsidiaries, continues to hold any Equity Securities of the Company, in each case without
limitation or prejudice of any the rights provided to any of the HF Stockholders hereunder, the
Company shall, with respect to each such VCOC Equityholder:




	 	(i)	 	Provide such VCOC Equityholder or its
designated representative with the following:






	 	(A)	 	the right to visit and
inspect any of the offices and properties of the Company and
its Subsidiaries and inspect and copy the books and records
of the Company and its Subsidiaries, at such times as the
VCOC Equityholder shall reasonably request;
	 
	 	(B)	 	as soon as available and in

statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its

in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, except
as otherwise noted therein, together with an auditor’s report
thereon of a firm of established national reputation;






	 	(D)	 	to the extent the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is required by law or pursuant to
the terms of any outstanding indebtedness of the Company or
such Subsidiary to prepare such reports, any annual reports,
quarterly reports and other periodic reports pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, actually prepared by
the Company or such Subsidiary as soon as available; and






	 	(E)	 	Subject to Section 3.1(c)(iii) below, copies of all materials
provided to the Board at substantially the same time as
provided to the Board and, if requested, copies of the
materials provided to the board of directors (or equivalent
governing body) of any Subsidiary of the Company; provided
that the Company or such Subsidiary shall be entitled to
exclude portions of such materials to the extent providing
such portions would be reasonably likely to result in the
waiver of attorney-client privilege;






	 	(ii)	 	Make the Board and appropriate officers of
the Company and its Subsidiaries available periodically and at such
times as reasonably requested by such VCOC Equityholder for
consultation with such VCOC Equityholder or its designated
representative with respect to matters relating to the business and
affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including significant
changes in management personnel and compensation of employees,
introduction of new products or new lines of business, important
acquisitions or dispositions of plants and equipment, significant
research and development programs, the purchasing or selling of
important trademarks, licenses or




24









 






	 	 	 	concessions or the proposed commencement or compromise of
significant litigation;






	 	(iii)	 	To the extent consistent with applicable
law (and with respect to events which require public disclosure, only
following the Company’s public disclosure thereof through applicable
securities law filings or otherwise), inform the VCOC Equityholder or
its designated representative in advance with respect to any
significant Company actions, including extraordinary dividends,
mergers, acquisitions or dispositions of assets, issuances of
significant amounts of debt or equity and material amendments to the
organizational documents of the Company, and provide the VCOC
Equityholder or its designated representative with the right to
consult with the Company with respect to such actions;






	 	(iv)	 	Give such VCOC Equityholder the right to
designate one non-voting board observer who will be entitled to
attend all meetings of the Board and participate in all deliberations
of the Board, provided that such observer shall have no voting rights
with respect to actions taken or elected not to be taken by the
Board, and provided, further, that the Company shall be entitled to
exclude such observer from such portions of a Board meeting to the
extent such observer’s presence would be reasonably likely to result
in the waiver of attorney-client privilege; and






	 	(v)	 	Provide such VCOC Equityholder or its
designated representative with such other rights of consultation
which such VCOC Equityholder’s counsel may determine to be reasonably
necessary under applicable legal authorities promulgated after the
date hereof to qualify its investment in the Company as a “venture
capital investment” for purposes of the Plan Assets Regulation.





     The Company agrees to consider, in good faith, the recommendations of each VCOC Equityholder
or its designated representative in connection with the matters on which it is consulted as
described above, recognizing that the ultimate discretion with respect to all such matters shall be
retained by the Company. The obligations of the Company set forth in
Section 3.1(c) and Section 3.1(d) are expressly intended to
create third party beneficiary rights of each VCOC Equityholder.



     (d) In the event that the Company ceases to qualify as an “operating company” (within the
meaning of the first sentence of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(c)(1) of the Plan Asset Regulations), then
the Company and each party hereto will cooperate in good faith to take all reasonable action
necessary to provide that the investment (or at least 51% of the investment valued at cost) of each
VCOC Equityholder shall continue to



25









 







qualify as a “venture capital investment” (as defined in 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(d) of the Plan
Asset Regulations).



ARTICLE IV

PRIORITIES UPON TRANSFER




     Section 4.1 Order of Priorities Among the Institutional Stockholders.



     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the
GA Stockholders and the HF Stockholders, any Transfer of the Company’s Equity Securities (including
Transfers effected by secondary sales of the Company’s Equity Securities in all Public Offerings
and whether or not initiated by the Company, Transfers made pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, and Transfers effected by any other sales, hedging transactions or other
dispositions) by the GA Stockholders and the HF Stockholders other than Transfers to their
respective Permitted Transferees or pursuant to an Exchange, in each case as permitted by
Section 6.1, shall be made in accordance with Article V and Article VI and the following order of
priorities:




	 	(i)	 	if the IPO is consummated on or before
September 30, 2009, then:






	 	(A)	 	if and only if the Specified Value (as defined in Exhibit D) of the Company
is equal to or greater than the Target (as defined in Exhibit D),
then (1) first, in any proposed Transfer by the GA
Stockholders or the HF Stockholders, the GA Stockholders and
the HF Stockholders shall be entitled to Transfer their
Equity Securities on a 70%/30% basis (i.e., the GA
Stockholders, 70%, and the HF Stockholders, 30%, of the total
amount of Equity Securities included in such Transfer by the
GA Stockholders and the HF Stockholders) until such time as
the aggregate portion of the Voting Power held by the GA
Stockholders equals or is less than the aggregate portion of
the Voting Power held by the HF Stockholders (such time, the
“Pro Rata Commencement Time”); and
(2) second, following the Pro Rata Commencement Time,
the GA Stockholders and the HF Stockholders shall be entitled
to Transfer their Equity Securities on a pro rata basis in
accordance with the respective portions of the Voting Power
held by the GA Stockholders on the one hand and the HF
Stockholders on the other hand; and




26









 












	 	(B)	 	if and only if the Specified Value of the Company
is less than the Target, then in any
proposed Transfer by the GA Stockholders or the HF
Stockholders, the GA Stockholders and the HF Stockholders
shall be entitled to Transfer their Equity Securities on a
pro rata basis in accordance with the respective portions of
the Voting Power held by the GA Stockholders on the one hand
and the HF Stockholders on the other hand; and






	 	(ii)	 	if the IPO is not consummated on or before
September 30, 2009, then:






	 	(A)	 	first, in any
proposed Transfer by the GA Stockholders or the HF
Stockholders, the GA Stockholders and the HF Stockholders
shall be entitled to Transfer their Equity Securities on an
80%/20% basis (i.e., the GA Stockholders, 80%, and the HF
Stockholders, 20%, of the total amount of Equity Securities
included in such Transfer by the GA Stockholders and the HF
Stockholders) until the Pro Rata Commencement Time; and






	 	(B)	 	second, following
the Pro Rata Commencement Time, the GA Stockholders and the
HF Stockholders shall be entitled to Transfer their Equity
Securities on a pro rata basis in accordance with the
respective portions of the Voting Power held by the GA
Stockholders on the one hand and the HF Stockholders on the
other hand.




For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the number of the Company’s Equity Securities being
Transferred in any Transfer will result in the Pro Rata Commencement Time occurring, then clause
(1) of Section 4.1(a)(i)(A) or Section 4.1(a)(ii)(A), as the case may be, will be applicable to
such Transfer up to the point of such Transfer where the Pro Rata Commencement Time occurs and
clause (2) of Section 4.1(a)(i)(A) or Section 4.1(a)(ii)(B), as the case may be, will be applicable
to the remainder of the Company’s Equity Securities being Transferred in such Transfer.




     (b) For the avoidance of doubt, the priorities upon Transfer of the Company’s Equity
Securities in this Article IV shall not restrict any Institutional Stockholder from initiating a
Transfer of the Company’s Equity Securities in accordance with this Agreement; provided,
that such Institutional Stockholder complies with the




27










 




provisions of this Agreement and that the other Institutional Stockholders are afforded the
priorities and other rights specified herein. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this
Article IV shall obligate an Institutional Stockholder to participate in any Transfer or proposed
Transfer, and no failure by an Institutional Stockholder to participate in a Transfer to the extent
entitled to participate shall impair the right of such Institutional Stockholder to participate in
any future Transfers pursuant to this Article IV based on the relative ownership of Equity
Securities of the Institutional Stockholders at the time of any such future Transfer.




ARTICLE V

REGISTRATION RIGHTS




     Section 5.1 Demand Rights.



     (a) Demand Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including
Section 5.1(b)), upon written notice delivered by a GA Registration Party or HF Registration Party
(a “Demand”) at any time requesting that the Company effect the registration (a “Demand
Registration”) under the Securities Act (including a registration to be made on a delayed or
continuous basis under Rule 415 under the Securities Act) of any or all of the Registrable
Securities held by such Registration Party, which Demand shall specify the number and type of such
Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method or methods of disposition of such
Registrable Securities, the Company shall promptly give written notice of such Demand to all other
Registration Parties and other Persons who may have piggyback registration rights with respect to
such Demand Registration and shall promptly file the appropriate registration statement and use its
reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws of (i) the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to
register by such Registration Party in the Demand, and (ii) all other Registrable Securities which
the Company has been requested to register by the Holders thereof (other than, with respect to the
IPO only, the eRx Stockholders) by written request given to the Company within 30 days after the
giving of such written notice by the Company (which request shall specify the intended method of
disposition of such Registrable Securities), in each case subject to Section 5.1(f), all to the
extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with such intended methods of disposition)
of the Registrable Securities to be so registered.



     (b) Limitations on Demand Rights. Each GA Registration Party shall be entitled to make five
Demands under Section 5.1(a) (and is hereby deemed to have made one of its five Demands for the
IPO) and each HF Registration Party shall be entitled to make four Demands under Section 5.1(a);
provided, that the GA Registration Parties and the HF Registration Parties shall only be
entitled to make a Demand pursuant to Section 5.1(a) if such Registration Party, together with all
other Registration Parties delivering the Demand, are requesting the registration of Registrable
Securities with an aggregate estimated market value of at least $100 million. No registration
effected pursuant to Section 5.2, Section 5.3 or Section 5.4 shall be counted as a request for a
Demand for purposes of Section 5.1(a) unless such request is for a Marketed Underwritten Shelf
Take-Down pursuant to Section 5.4.



28









 





     (c) Assignment of Demand Rights and Piggyback Rights. In connection with the Transfer of
Registrable Securities to any Person in accordance with Article VI, a Registration Party may assign
(i) the right to exercise one Demand pursuant to Section 5.1(a) with respect to each $100 million
in estimated fair market value of consideration received by such Registration Party in such
Transfer and (ii) the right to participate in any registration pursuant to the terms of
Section 5.1(a)(ii) or Section 5.2. In the event of any such assignment, references to the
Registration Parties in Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.2 shall be deemed to refer to the relevant
Transferee, as appropriate. The relevant Registration Party shall give prompt written notice of
any such assignment to the Company and the other Registration Parties.



     (d) Company Blackout Rights. With respect to any registration statement filed, or to be
filed, pursuant to this Section 5.1, if (i) the Company determines in good faith that such
registration would cause the Company to disclose material non-public information, which disclosure
(x) would be required to be made in any registration statement so that such registration statement
would not be materially misleading, (y) would not be required to be made at such time but for the
filing or effectiveness of such registration statement and (z) would be materially detrimental to
the Company or would materially interfere with any material financing, acquisition, corporate
reorganization or merger or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, and that, as a result of such potential disclosure or interference, it is in the best
interests of the Company to defer the filing or effectiveness of such registration statement at
such time or suspend the Selling Holders’ use of any prospectus which is a part of the registration
statement, and (ii) the Company promptly furnishes to the Selling Holders a certificate signed by
the chief executive officer of the Company to that effect, then the Company shall have the right to
defer such filing or effectiveness or suspend the continuance of such effectiveness for a period of
not more than 60 days (in which event, in the case of a suspension, such Selling Holder shall
discontinue sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement);
provided, that the Company shall not use this right, together with any other deferral or
suspension of the Company’s obligations under Section 5.1 or Section 5.3, more than once in any
12-month period. The Company shall promptly notify the Selling Holders of the expiration of any
period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 5.1(d). The Company agrees that, in
the event it exercises its rights under this Section 5.1(d), it shall, as promptly as practicable
following the expiration of the applicable deferral or suspension period, file or update and use
its reasonable best efforts to cause the effectiveness of, as applicable, the applicable deferred
or suspended registration statement.



     (e) Fulfillment of Registration Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, a registration requested pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall not be deemed to have been
effected (i) if the registration statement is withdrawn without becoming effective, (ii) if after
it has become effective such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other
order or requirement of the SEC or other Governmental Entity for any reason other than a
misrepresentation or an omission by a Selling Holder Affiliated with the Registration Party that
made the Demand relating to such registration and, as a result thereof, the Registrable Securities
requested to be registered cannot be completely distributed in accordance with the plan of
distribution set



29









 







forth in the related registration statement; provided, that if such registration is a
shelf registration pursuant to Section 5.3, such registration shall be deemed to have been effected
if such registration statement remains effective for the period specified in Section 5.3, (iii) if
not a shelf registration and the registration does not contemplate an underwritten offering, if it
does not remain effective for at least 180 days (or such shorter period as will terminate when all
securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or withdrawn); or if not a shelf
registration and such registration statement contemplates an underwritten offering, if it does not
remain effective for at least 180 days plus such longer period as, in the opinion of counsel for
the underwriter or underwriters, a prospectus is required by Law to be delivered in connection with
the sale of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer or (iv) in the event of an
underwritten offering, if the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or
underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or
waived other than by reason of some wrongful act or omission by a Selling Holder Affiliated with
the Registration Party that made the Demand relating to such registration.



     (f) Cutbacks in Demand Registration. If the lead underwriter or managing underwriter advises
the Company in writing (with a copy to each Selling Holder) that, in such firm’s good faith view,
the number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities requested to be included in a Demand
Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a
significant adverse effect upon the price, timing or distribution of the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities and Other Securities then contemplated, the Company shall include in such
registration:




	 	(i)	 	first, subject to the priorities described
in Article IV with respect to the GA Registration Parties and HF
Registration Parties, Registrable Securities that are requested to be
included in such registration pursuant to Section 5.1(a), pro rata on
the basis of the relative number of such fully vested Registrable
Securities owned by the Institutional Stockholders, Management
Stockholders and eRx Stockholders seeking such registration (other
than with respect to the IPO in the case of the eRx Stockholders, who
shall not have registration rights with respect thereto); and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	second, the Other Securities held by any
holder thereof with a contractual right to include such Other
Securities in such registration that can be sold without having the
adverse effect referred to above, pro rata on the basis of the
relative number of such fully vested Other Securities owned by the
Persons seeking such registration.





     (g) IPO. The parties hereto agree that (i) the notice required to be delivered by the Company
pursuant to the first sentence of Section 5.1(a) with respect to the IPO shall be deemed to have
been delivered to all Registration Parties (other than the eRx Stockholders, who shall not have
registration rights with respect to the IPO) and (ii)



30









 







any Registration Party (other than the eRx Stockholders, who shall not have registration
rights with respect to the IPO) that has not requested any Registrable Securities to be included
for sale in the IPO prior to the date hereof shall be deemed to have waived any rights to register
any Registrable Securities in the IPO under this Section 5.1.



     Section 5.2 Piggyback Registration Rights.



     (a) Notice and Exercise of Rights. If the Company at any time proposes or is required to
register any of its Class A Shares or any other Equity Securities under the Securities Act (other
than a Demand Registration, including the IPO, pursuant to Section 5.1), whether or not for sale
for its own account, in a manner that would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale
for cash to the public under the Securities Act, subject to the last sentence of this
Section 5.2(a) and to Section 5.4(d), it shall at each such time give prompt written notice (the
“Piggyback Notice”) to each Registration Party of its intention to do so, which Piggyback
Notice shall specify the number and class or classes (or type or types) of Registrable Securities
to be registered. Upon the written request of any Registration Party made within 30 days after
receipt of the Piggyback Notice by such Person (which request shall specify the number of
Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of), subject to the other provisions of this
Article V, the Company shall effect, in connection with the registration of such Class A Shares or
other Equity Securities, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities
which the Company has been so requested to register; provided, that in no event shall the
Company be required to register pursuant to this Section 5.2 any securities of a class or type
other than the classes or types described in the Piggyback Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 5.2, the Company shall not be required to effect any
registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 5.2 incidental to the registration of any
of its securities on Forms S-4 or S-8 (or any similar or successor form providing for the
registration of securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, exchange offers, subscription
offers, dividend reinvestment plans or stock option or other executive or employee benefit or
compensation plans) or any other form that would not be available for registration of Registrable
Securities.



     (b) Determination Not to Effect Registration. If at any time after giving such Piggyback
Notice and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such
registration the Company shall determine for any reason not to register the securities originally
intended to be included in such registration, the Company may, at its election, give written notice
of such determination to the Selling Holders and thereupon the Company shall be relieved of its
obligation to register such Registrable Securities in connection with the registration of
securities originally intended to be included in such registration, without prejudice, however, to
the right of a GA Registration Party or HF Registration Party immediately to request that such
registration be effected as a registration under Section 5.1 (including a shelf registration under
Section 5.3) to the extent permitted thereunder.



     (c) Cutbacks in Company Offering. If the registration referred to in the first sentence of
Section 5.2(a) is to be an underwritten registration on behalf of the Company, and the lead
underwriter or managing underwriter advises the Company in



31









 







writing (with a copy to each Selling Holder) that, in such firm’s good faith view, the number
of Other Securities and Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration
exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant
adverse effect upon the price, timing or distribution of the offering and sale of the Other
Securities and Registrable Securities then contemplated, the Company shall include in such
registration:




	 	(i)	 	first, all Company Securities; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	second, subject to the priorities described
in Article IV with respect to the GA Registration Parties and HF
Registration Parties, Registrable Securities and Other Securities
that are requested to be included in such registration pursuant to
this Section 5.2 and the terms of any other agreement providing for
registration rights to which the Company is a party that can be sold
without having the adverse effect referred to above, pro rata on the
basis of the relative number of such fully vested Registrable
Securities and fully vested Other Securities owned by the Persons
seeking such registration.





     (d) Cutbacks in Other Offerings. If the registration referred to in the first sentence of
Section 5.2(a) is to be an underwritten registration other than on behalf of the Company, and the
lead underwriter or managing underwriter advises the Selling Holders in writing (with a copy to the
Company) that, in such firm’s good faith view, the number of Registrable Securities and Other
Securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in
such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect upon the price, timing or
distribution of the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities and Other Securities then
contemplated, the Company shall include in such registration:




	 	(i)	 	first, the Other Securities held by any
holder thereof with a contractual right to include such Other
Securities in such registration prior to any other Person; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	second, subject to the priorities described
in Article IV with respect to the GA Registration Parties and HF
Registration Parties, Registrable Securities and any remaining Other
Securities (other than Company Securities) that are requested to be
included in such registration pursuant to this Section 5.2 and the
terms of any agreement providing for registration rights to which the
Company is a party that can be sold without having the adverse effect
referred to above, pro rata on the basis of the relative number of
such fully vested Registrable Securities and fully vested Other
Securities owned by the Persons seeking such registration.




32









 











     (e) Expiration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any
Registration Party to include securities of a particular class in a registration pursuant to this
Section 5.2 shall expire at such time as all Registrable Securities of such class held by such
Registration Party are eligible to be sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 without limitation as
a result of the volume restrictions set forth therein.



     Section 5.3 Form S-3 Registration.



     (a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 to the contrary, in case the
Company shall receive from any GA Registration Party or HF Registration Party or, subject to
Section 5.3(b), Management Stockholder or eRx Stockholder a written request or requests that the
Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect
to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Registration Party, and the Company is
then eligible to use Form S-3 for the resale of Registrable Securities, the Company, subject to
Section 5.3(b), will:




	 	(i)	 	promptly give written notice of the
proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance,
to all other Registration Parties; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	promptly file and use its reasonable best
efforts to effect such registration and all such qualifications and
compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate
the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registration
Party’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such request,
together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of
any other Registration Party joining in such request as are specified
in a written request given within 15 days after receipt of such
written notice from the Company; provided, that the Company
shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification
or compliance pursuant to this Section 5.3 (or, with respect to a
request under Section 5.4, any Shelf Take-Down pursuant to
Section 5.4):






	 	(A)	 	if Form S-3 is not
available for such offering by the Registration Parties;
	 
	 	(B)	 	if the Registration
Parties, together with the holders of any Other Securities
entitled to inclusion in such registration (or Shelf
Take-Down, as applicable), propose to sell Registrable
Securities at an aggregate price to the public (net of any
underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than $15
million;




33









 












	 	(C)	 	if the Company shall
furnish to the Registration Parties a certificate signed by
the Company’s chief executive officer or chairman of the
Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board as
evidenced by a resolution by the Board, it would be seriously
detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such
Form S-3 registration to be effected (or, with respect to a
Shelf Take-Down under Section 5.4, for the securities of the
Company to be sold pursuant thereto) at such time, in which
event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of
the Form S-3 registration statement (or Shelf Take-Down) for
a period of not more than 60 days after receipt of the
request of the Registration Party under this Section 5.3 (or
Section 5.4, as applicable); provided, that the
Company shall not utilize this right, together with any other
deferral or suspension of the Company’s obligations under
Section 5.1 or this Section 5.3, more than once in any
12-month period;
	 
	 	(D)	 	subject to Section 5.3(e),
if the Company has, within the six-month period preceding the
date of such request, already effected one registration on
Form S-3 for a Registration Party pursuant to this
Section 5.3 (or effected one Shelf Take-Down pursuant to
Section 5.4, as applicable); provided, that any such
registration shall be deemed to have been “effected” if the
registration statement relating thereto (x) has become or
been declared or ordered effective under the Securities Act,
and any of the Registrable Securities of the Registration
Party included in such registration have actually been sold
thereunder, (y) has remained effective for a period of at
least 180 days in the case of a registration on Form S-3 for
a GA Registration Party or HF Registration Party and (z) has
remained effective for a period of at least 90 days in the
case of a registration on Form S-3 for the eRx Stockholders; or
	 
	 	(E)	 	in any particular
jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to
qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to
service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance.

     (b) With respect to Management Stockholders and eRx Stockholders: (i) the Management
Stockholders shall only be entitled to request that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3
pursuant to Section 5.3(a) (A) on or after the date that is twelve months following the IPO Date
and (B) on no more than two occasions and (ii) the eRx Stockholders shall only be entitled to
request that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 5.3(a) (A) on or
after the date that is eighteen months following the IPO Date and (B) on no more than one occasion.
In order for the eRx Stockholders or Management Stockholders to exercise this request, the written
request provided under Section 5.3(a) shall be signed by eRx Stockholders or Management
Stockholders, as applicable, holding in excess of 50% of the portion of the Voting Power held by
eRx Stockholders or Management Stockholders, respectively (or in the case of the Management Stockholders,
such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Board).
A registration requested under this
Section 5.3(b) shall not be deemed to have been effected upon the occurrence of any of the events
specified in Section 5.1(e); provided, that the Management Stockholders or eRx
Stockholders, as applicable, did not request withdrawal of the applicable registration statement.



     (c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the
Registrable Securities and Other Securities so requested to be registered promptly after receipt of
the request or requests of the Registration Parties (the “Form S-3 Registration Statement”)
and any such Registration Party may request that such Form S-3 Registration Statement constitute a
shelf offering on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities
Act (a “Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement”), in which case the provisions of
Section 5.4 shall also be applicable.



     (d) If the GA Registration Parties or HF Registration Parties intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request under this Section 5.3 by means of an underwriting
(it being agreed that the Management Stockholders and the eRx Stockholders shall not be entitled to
request an underwritten offering), they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made
pursuant to this Section 5.3 and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.3(a), the
Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 5.3(a). In
such event, the right of any Registration Party to include Registrable Securities in such
registration (or Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, as applicable) shall be conditioned upon such
Registration Party’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Registration
Party’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority
in interest of the GA Registration Parties and HF Registration Parties participating in the
registration (or Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, as applicable) and the requesting GA Registration
Party or HF Registration Party) to the extent provided herein. All Registration Parties proposing
to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as
provided in Section 5.7) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section 5.3 or Section 5.4, if the managing underwriter advises the Company and the
Registration Parties participating in such underwriting in writing that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all such
Registration Parties, and, subject to the priorities described in Article IV with



35









 







respect to the GA Registration Parties and HF Registration Parties, the number of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated first among all
such Registration Parties, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the Voting Power held by
each such Registration Party at the time of the filing of the registration statement;
provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by such
Registration Parties to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all Other
Securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. Registrable Securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration (or Underwritten Shelf
Take-Down, as applicable).



     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall receive from any Holders of
Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests under Section 5.3 that the
Company effect a registration statement on Form S-3 that includes only those items and that
information that is required to be included in parts I and II of such Form, and does not include
any additional or extraneous items of information (e.g., a lengthy description of the
Company or the Company’s business) (an “Ordinary S-3 Registration Statement”), then
Section 5.3(a)(ii)(D) shall not apply to such Ordinary S-3 Registration Statement request.



     Section 5.4 Shelf Take Downs.



     (a) Any Selling Holder of Registrable Securities included in a Form S-3 Shelf Registration
Statement (an “Initiating Shelf Holder”) may initiate an offering or sale of all or part of
such Registrable Securities (a “Shelf Take-Down”), in which case the provisions of this
Section 5.4 shall apply.



     (b) If an Initiating Shelf Holder who is a GA Registration Party or HF Registration Party so
elects in a written request delivered to the Company (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down
Notice”), a Shelf Take-Down may be in the form of an underwritten offering (an
“Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”) and, subject to the limitations set forth in the proviso to
Section 5.3(a)(ii), the Company shall file and effect an amendment or supplement to its Form S-3
Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose as soon as practicable; provided, that any
such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (as defined below) shall be deemed to be, for purposes
of Section 5.1(b) and Section 5.1(f), a Demand. For the avoidance of doubt, the Management
Stockholders and the eRx Stockholders shall not be entitled to request an Underwritten Shelf
Take-Down. Such Initiating Shelf Holder shall indicate in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice
whether it intends for such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to involve a customary “road show”
(including an “electronic road show”) or other substantial marketing effort by the underwriters (a
“Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”). Upon receipt of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down
Notice indicating that such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down will be a Marketed Underwritten Shelf
Take-Down, the Company shall promptly (but in any event no later than ten days prior to the
expected date of such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) give written notice of such Marketed
Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to all other Shelf Holders and, subject to the priorities described in
Article IV with respect to the GA Registration Parties and HF Registration Parties, shall permit
the participation of all such Shelf Holders that request inclusion in such Marketed



36









 







Underwritten Shelf Take-Down who respond in writing within five days after the receipt of such
notice of their election to participate. The provisions of Section 5.3(d) (other than the first
sentence thereof) shall apply with respect to the right of the Initiating Shelf Holder and any
other Shelf Holder to participate in any Underwritten Shelf Take-Down.



     (c) If the Initiating Shelf Holder desires to effect a Shelf Take-Down that does not
constitute a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (a “Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf
Take-Down”), the Initiating Shelf Holder shall so indicate in a written request delivered to
the Company no later than two Business Days prior to the expected date of such Non-Marketed
Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, which request shall include (i) the total number of Registrable
Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down,
(ii) the expected plan of distribution of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and
(iii) the action or actions required (including the timing thereof) in connection with such
Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (including the delivery of one or more stock certificates
representing shares of Registrable Securities to be sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf
Take-Down), and, subject to the limitations set forth in the proviso to Section 5.3(a)(ii), the
Company shall file and effect an amendment or supplement to its Form S-3 Shelf Registration
Statement for such purpose as soon as practicable.



     (d) Upon receipt of a written request pursuant to Section 5.4(c) from any GA Registration
Party or HF Registration Party, the Company shall provide written notice (a “Non-Marketed
Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”) of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down
promptly to all GA Registration Parties and HF Registration Parties (other than the requesting
party), which Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice shall set forth (i) the total number
of Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf
Take-Down, (ii) the expected plan of distribution of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf
Take-Down, (iii) that each recipient of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice
(each, a “Notice Recipient”) shall have the right, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section 5.4(d) and subject to the priorities described in Article IV,
to elect to sell up to its Pro Rata Take-Down Portion and (iv) the action or actions required
(including the timing thereof) in connection with such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down
with respect to each Notice Recipient that elects to exercise such right (including the delivery of
one or more stock certificates representing shares of Registrable Securities held by such Notice
Recipient to be sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down). Upon receipt of such
Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice, subject to the priorities described in
Article IV, each such Notice Recipient may elect to sell up to its Pro Rata Take-Down Portion with
respect to each such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, by taking such action or actions
referred to in clause (iv) above in a timely manner; provided, that each such Notice
Recipient that elects to participate in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down may
condition its participation on the Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down being completed within
ten Business Days of its acceptance at a net price per share to such Notice Recipient of not less
than 95% of the closing price for the shares on their principal trading market on the trading day
immediately prior to such Notice Recipient’s election to participate. Notwithstanding



37









 







anything to the contrary herein, this Section 5.4(d) shall not apply to any Non-Marketed
Underwritten Shelf Take-Down initiated at a time when the priorities described in Article IV have
been fully satisfied or expired.



     (e) Notwithstanding the delivery of any Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice, but
subject to the proviso in the penultimate sentence of Section 5.4(d), all determinations as to
whether to complete any Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and as to the timing, manner,
price and other terms of any Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down contemplated by Section
5.4(d) shall be at the discretion of the Initiating Shelf Holder; provided, that so long as
the priorities described in Article IV have not been fully satisfied or expired, if such
Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down is completed, the Initiating Shelf Holder must, subject
to the priorities described in Article IV, include each Notice Recipient’s Pro Rata Take-Down
Portion in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down if such Notice Recipient has complied
with the penultimate sentence of Section 5.4(d).



     (f) For purposes of this Section 5.4, “Pro Rata Take-Down Portion” shall mean, with
respect to any Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and each Initiating Shelf Holder and each
other Notice Recipient delivering such notice with respect to and participating in such
Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, a number equal to the product of the following: (i) the
total number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf
Take-Down and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Registrable Securities
beneficially owned by such Initiating Shelf Holder or other Notice Recipient, as applicable, and
the denominator of which is the total number of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by the
Initiating Shelf Holder and all the other Notice Recipient delivering such a notice and
participating in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down.



     Section 5.5 Selection of Underwriters. In the event that any registration
pursuant to this Article V shall involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, the
underwriter or underwriters shall be designated by the Registration Party (or in the case of a
Shelf Take-Down, the Initiating Shelf Holder) that requested such underwritten offering in
accordance with this Article V, which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to
the Company and the Selling Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included
in such offering.



     Section 5.6 Withdrawal Rights; Expenses.



     (a) A Selling Holder may withdraw all or any part of its Registrable Securities from any
registration (including a registration effected pursuant to Section 5.1) by giving written notice
to the Company of its request to withdraw at any time. Except in the case of a withdrawal of
Registrable Securities made within 30 days of receipt by such Selling Holder of a certificate or
notice from the Company that it will defer the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement
pursuant to Section 5.1(d) or Section 5.3(a)(ii)(C), the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement
for any SEC registration fees incurred by the Company in connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities so withdrawn (unless such registration fees can be used in



38









 







connection with the registration of other securities by the Company, including in connection
with a future registration). In the case of a withdrawal prior to the effective date of a
registration statement, any Registrable Securities so withdrawn shall be reallocated among the
remaining participants in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.



     (b) Except as provided herein, the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses with respect to
a particular offering (or proposed offering). Except as provided herein, each Selling Holder and
the Company shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses of counsel and financial advisors
and their internal administrative and similar costs, as well as their respective pro rata shares of
underwriters’ commissions and discounts, which shall not constitute Registration Expenses.



     Section 5.7 Registration and Qualification. If and whenever the Company is
required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as
provided in this Article V, the Company shall as promptly as practicable:



     (a) Registration Statement. Prepare and (as soon thereafter as practicable and in any event,
no later than 30 days after the end of the applicable period specified in Section 5.1(a) within
which requests for registration may be given to the Company) file a registration statement under
the Securities Act relating to the Registrable Securities to be offered and use its reasonable best
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable
thereafter, and keep such registration statement effective for 180 days or, if earlier, until the
distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, that
in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be
offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 180-day period shall be extended, if necessary, to
keep the registration statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended to the extent
necessary to ensure that it is available for sales of such Registrable Securities, and to ensure
that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies,
rules and regulations of the SEC as announced from time to time, until the earlier of when (i) the
Selling Holders have sold all of such Registrable Securities and (ii) the Selling Holders may sell
all of such Registrable Securities without limitation pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect,
addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Institutional
Stockholders, Management Stockholders or eRx Stockholders, as the case may be; provided,
further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw any
registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 requested by an eRx
Stockholder 90 days after its effectiveness; furnish to the lead underwriter or underwriters, if
any, and to the Selling Holders who have requested that Registrable Securities be covered by such
registration statement, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, a copy of the registration
statement, and each amendment thereof, and a copy of any prospectus, and each amendment or
supplement thereto (excluding amendments caused by the filing of a report under the Exchange Act);
and use its



39









 







reasonable best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the SEC, such
comments as such Persons reasonably may on a timely basis propose;



     (b) Amendments; Supplements. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
(i) reasonably requested by any Selling Holder (to the extent such request relates to information
relating to such Selling Holder), or (ii) necessary to keep such registration statement effective
and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities until the earlier of (A) such time as all of such Registrable Securities
have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition set forth in such
registration statement and (B) if a Form S-3 registration, the expiration of the applicable period
specified in Section 5.7(a) and, if not a Form S-3 registration, the applicable period specified in
Section 5.1(e); provided, that any such required period shall be extended for such number
of days (x) during any period from and including the date any written notice contemplated by
paragraph (f) below is given by the Company until the date on which the Company delivers to the
Selling Holders the supplement or amendment contemplated by paragraph (f) below or written notice
that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, as the case may be, and (y) during which the
offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement is interfered with by
any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental
agency or court; provided, further, that the Company will have no obligation to a
Selling Holder participating on a “piggyback” basis in a registration statement that has become
effective to keep such registration statement effective for a period beyond 180 days from the
effective date of such registration statement. The Company will respond promptly to any comments
received from the SEC and request acceleration of effectiveness promptly after it learns that the
SEC will not review the registration statement or after it has satisfied comments received from the
SEC. With respect to each Free Writing Prospectus or other materials to be included in the
Disclosure Package, ensure that no Registrable Securities be sold “by means of” (as defined in
Rule 159A(b) under the Securities Act) such Free Writing Prospectus or other materials without the
prior written consent of the Selling Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement, which Free Writing Prospectuses or other materials shall be subject to the
review of counsel to such Selling Holders, and make all required filings of all Free Writing
Prospectuses with the SEC;



     (c) Copies. Furnish to the Selling Holders and to any underwriter of such Registrable
Securities such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such
amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of
the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus,
summary prospectus and Free Writing Prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, such documents incorporated by reference in such registration statement or
prospectus, and such other documents, as such Selling Holders or such underwriter may reasonably
request, and upon request a copy of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence to or
received from, the SEC or any other Governmental Entity or self regulatory body or other body
having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such
offering;



40









 





     (d) Blue Sky. Register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement
under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested
by the Selling Holders and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary
or advisable to enable such Selling Holders to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of
the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder; provided, that the Company shall
not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;



     (e) Delivery of Certain Documents. (i) Furnish to each Selling Holder and to any underwriter
of such Registrable Securities an opinion of counsel for the Company (which opinion (in form, scope
and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, or, in the
case of a non-underwritten offering, to the Selling Holders) addressed to each Selling Holder and
any underwriter of such Registrable Securities and dated the date of the closing under the
underwriting agreement (if any) (or if such offering is not underwritten, dated the effective date
of the applicable registration statement) covering the matters customarily covered in opinions
requested in sales of securities or underwritten offerings, (ii) furnish to each Selling Holder and
any underwriter of such Registrable Securities a “cold comfort” and “bring-down” letter addressed
to each Selling Holder and any underwriter of such Registrable Securities and signed by the
independent public accountants who have audited the financial statements of the Company included in
such registration statement, in each such case covering substantially the same matters with respect
to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) as are customarily covered in
accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities and
such other matters as any Selling Holder may reasonably request and, in the case of such
accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements and
(iii) cause such authorized officers of the Company to execute customary certificates as may be
requested by any Selling Holder or any underwriter of such Registrable Securities;



     (f) Notification of Certain Events; Corrections. Promptly notify the Selling Holders and any
underwriter of such Registrable Securities in writing (i) of the occurrence of any event as a
result of which the registration statement or the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) of any request by the SEC or
any other regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction for any amendment of or supplement to
any registration statement or other document relating to such offering, and (iii) if for any other
reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus in
order to comply with the Securities Act and, in any such case as promptly as reasonably practicable
thereafter, prepare and file with the SEC an amendment or supplement to such registration statement
or prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance;



     (g) Notice of Effectiveness. Notify the Selling Holders and the lead underwriter or
underwriters, if any, and (if requested) confirm such advice in writing, as



41

the applicable registration statement or any amendment thereto has been filed or becomes effective
and when the applicable prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto has been filed, (ii) of
any comments by the SEC, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of such registration statement or any order preventing or suspending the use of any
preliminary or final prospectus or the initiation or threat of any proceedings for such purposes
and (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of the Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose;



     (h) Stop Orders. Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry of, and use its best
efforts to obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable the withdrawal of, any stop order with
respect to the applicable registration statement or other order suspending the use of any
preliminary or final prospectus;



     (i) Plan of Distribution. Promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment to the applicable registration statement such information as the lead underwriter or
underwriters, if any, and the Selling Holders holding a majority of each class of Registrable
Securities being sold agree (with respect to the relevant class) should be included therein
relating to the plan of distribution with respect to such class of Registrable Securities; and make
all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as promptly as
reasonably practicable after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment;



     (j) Other Filings. Use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities

Governmental Entities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the
underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;



     (k) FINRA Compliance. Cooperate with each Selling Holder and each underwriter or agent, if
any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel

registered pursuant to such registration to be listed and remain on each securities exchange and
automated interdealer quotation system on which identical securities issued by the Company are then

     (o) Road Shows. To the extent reasonably requested by the lead or managing underwriters in
connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 5.1 (including a Form S-3 underwritten

shows” scheduled in connection with any such underwritten offering, with all out of pocket costs
and expenses incurred by the Company or such officers in connection with such attendance to be paid
by the Company;



     (p) Certificates. Unless the relevant securities are issued in book-entry form, furnish for
delivery in connection with the closing of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a
registration effected pursuant to this Article V unlegended certificates representing ownership of
the Registrable Securities being sold in such denominations as shall be requested by any Selling

Holders will use their reasonable best efforts to arrange for delivery to the Depository Trust
Company); and



     (q) Reasonable Best Efforts. Use its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps

     Section 5.8 Underwriting; Due Diligence.



     (a) If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a registration requested under this Article V, the Company shall enter into an
underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, which agreement will contain such
representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms and provisions as are
customarily contained in underwriting agreements generally with respect to secondary distributions
to the extent relevant, including indemnification and contribution provisions substantially to the
effect and to the extent provided in Section 5.9, and agreements as to the provision of opinions of
counsel and accountants’ letters to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 5.7(e). The
Selling Holders on whose behalf the Registrable Securities are to be distributed by such
underwriters shall be parties to any such underwriting agreement, and the representations and
warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such
underwriters, shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Selling Holders and the conditions
precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement shall also be
conditions precedent to the
obligations of such Selling Holders to the extent applicable. Subject to the following
sentence, such underwriting agreement shall also contain such representations and



43









 







warranties by
such Selling Holders and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in
underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, when relevant. No Selling Holder
shall be required in any such underwriting agreement or related documents to make any
representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than
customary representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Selling Holder’s title to
Registrable Securities and any written information provided by the Selling Holder to the Company
expressly for inclusion in the related registration statement.



     (b) In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement registering
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Article V, the Company shall make
available upon reasonable notice at reasonable times and for reasonable periods for inspection by
each Selling Holder, by any managing underwriter or underwriters participating in any disposition
to be effected pursuant to such registration statement, and by any attorney, accountant or other
agent retained by any Selling Holder or any managing underwriter, all pertinent financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause all of the
Company’s officers, directors and employees and the independent public accountants who have
certified the Company’s financial statements to make themselves available to discuss the business
of the Company and to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Selling Holders,
managing underwriters, attorneys, accountants or agents in connection with such registration
statement as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility
(subject to entry by each party referred to in this clause (b) into customary confidentiality
agreements in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company).



     (c) In the case of an underwritten offering requested by the Registration Parties pursuant to
Section 5.1 or Section 5.3 or an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down pursuant to Section 5.4, the price,
underwriting discount and other financial terms for the Registrable Securities of the related
underwriting agreement shall be determined by the Selling Holders holding a majority of the
Registrable Securities to be included in such offering. In the case of any underwritten offering
of securities by the Company pursuant to Section 5.2, such price, discount and other terms shall be
determined by the Company, subject to the right of Selling Holders to withdraw their Registrable
Securities from the registration pursuant to Section 5.6(a).



     (d) Subject to Section 5.8(a), no Person may participate in an underwritten offering
(including an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s
securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled
to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers
of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreement and other documents reasonably required under the
terms of such underwriting arrangements.



44









 





     Section 5.9 Indemnification and Contribution.



     (a) Indemnification by the Company. In the case of each offering of Registrable Securities
made pursuant to this Article V, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent
permitted by Law, each Selling Holder, each underwriter of Registrable Securities so offered and
each Person, if any, who controls or is alleged to control (within the meaning set forth in the
Securities Act) any of the foregoing Persons, the Affiliates of each of the foregoing, and the
officers, directors, partners, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, against any and all
losses, liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements), claims and
damages, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities
Act or otherwise, including any amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or
threatened, insofar as such losses, liabilities, costs, claims and damages (or actions or
proceedings in respect thereof, whether or not such indemnified Person is a party thereto) arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement by the Company or alleged untrue statement by the
Company of a material fact contained in the registration statement (or in any preliminary, final or
summary prospectus included therein) or in the Disclosure Package, or in any offering memorandum or
other offering document relating to the offering and sale of such Registrable Securities prepared
by the Company or at its direction, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any
document incorporated by reference therein, or any omission by the Company or alleged omission by
the Company to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be liable to any Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
liability, cost, claim or damage arises out of or relates to any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement, or any omission, if such statement or omission shall have been made in reliance upon and
in conformity with information relating to such Person furnished in writing to the Company by or on
behalf of such Person expressly for inclusion in the registration statement (or in any preliminary,
final or summary prospectus included therein), offering memorandum or other offering document, or
any amendment thereof or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any such Person and shall survive the
transfer of such securities.



     (b) Indemnification by Selling Holders. In the case of each offering made pursuant to this
Agreement, each Selling Holder, by exercising its registration rights hereunder, agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by Law, the Company, each other Selling Holder
and each Person, if any, who controls or is alleged to control (within the meaning set forth in the
Securities Act) any of the foregoing, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, and the officers,
directors, partners, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, against any and all losses,
liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements), claims and damages to
which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, including any
amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened, insofar as such
losses, liabilities, costs, claims and damages (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof,
whether or not such indemnified Person is a party thereto) arise out of or are based upon



45









 







any untrue statement made by such Selling Holder of a material fact contained in the registration
statement (or in any preliminary, final or summary prospectus included therein) or in the
Disclosure Package relating to the offering and sale of such Registrable Securities prepared by the
Company or at its direction, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission by
such Selling Holder of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that
such untrue statement of a material fact occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with, or such
material fact is omitted from, information relating to such Selling Holder furnished in writing to
the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in such registration
statement (or in any preliminary, final or summary prospectus included therein) or Disclosure
Package, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto.



     (c) Indemnification Procedures. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.9
shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification promptly after such indemnified
party has actual knowledge that a claim is to be made against the indemnified party as to which
indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such
claim or litigation resulting therefrom and any related settlement and settlement negotiations,
subject to the limitations on settlement set forth below; provided, that counsel for the
indemnifying party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting
therefrom, shall be approved by the indemnified party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be
withheld), and the indemnified party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; and
provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as
provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 5.9,
except to the extent the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain separate
counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel being paid by the indemnifying
party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying
party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel or if the indemnifying party has
failed to assume the defense of such action. No indemnified party shall enter into any settlement
of any litigation commenced or threatened with respect to which indemnification is or may be sought
without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld). No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except
with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party,
from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each indemnified party shall furnish
such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably
request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and
litigation resulting therefrom.



46









 





     (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.9 shall for any
reason be unavailable (other than in accordance with its terms) to an indemnified party in respect
of any loss, liability, cost, claim or damage referred to therein, then each indemnifying party
shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, cost, claim or damage in such
proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and the indemnified party on the other with respect to the statements or omissions which
resulted in such loss, liability, cost, claim or damage as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party on the one hand or the indemnified
party on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an
indemnified party as a result of the loss, cost, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect
thereof, referred to above in this paragraph (d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this
paragraph (d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.9(d) to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than
the Company) shall be required pursuant to this Section 5.9(d) to contribute any amount in excess
of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of
Registrable Securities in the offering to which the losses of the indemnified parties relate
exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay
by reason of such untrue statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.9(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to in this Section.



     (e) Indemnification/Contribution under State Law. Indemnification and contribution similar to
that specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5.9 (with appropriate modifications)
shall be given by the Company and the Selling Holders and underwriters with respect to any required
registration or other qualification of securities under any state Law or governmental authority.



     (f) Obligations Not Exclusive. The obligations of the parties under this Section 5.9 shall be
in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other Person.



     (g) Survival. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.9 shall survive
any termination of this Agreement.



     (h) Limitation of Selling Holder Liability. The liability of any Selling Holder under this
Section 5.9 shall be several and not joint and in no event shall the



47









 







liability of any Selling Holder under this Section 5.9 be greater in amount than the dollar
amount of the net proceeds received by such Selling Holder under the sale of the Registrable
Securities giving rise to such indemnification/contribution obligation.



     (i) Third Party Beneficiary. Each of the indemnified Persons referred to in this Section 5.9
shall be a third party beneficiary of the rights conferred to such Person in this Section.



     Section 5.10 Cooperation; Information by Selling Holder.



     (a) It shall be a condition of each Selling Holder’s rights under this Article V that such
Selling Holder cooperate with the Company by entering into any undertakings and taking such other
action relating to the conduct of the proposed offering which the Company or the underwriters may
reasonably request as being necessary to insure compliance with federal and state securities laws
and the rules or other requirements of FINRA or which are otherwise customary and which the Company
or the underwriters may reasonably request to effectuate the offering.



     (b) Each Selling Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Selling
Holder and the distribution proposed by such Selling Holder as the Company may reasonably request
in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification
or compliance referred to in this Article V. The Company shall have the right to exclude from the
registration any Selling Holder that does not comply with this Section 5.10.



     (c) At such time as an underwriting agreement with respect to a particular underwriting is
entered into, the terms of any such underwriting agreement shall govern with respect to the matters
set forth therein to the extent inconsistent with this Article V; provided, that the
indemnification provisions of such underwriting agreement as they relate to the Selling Holders are
customary for registrations of the type then proposed and provide for indemnification by such
Selling Holders only with respect to written information furnished by such Selling Holders.



     Section 5.11 Rule 144. Following a Public Offering, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure
that the conditions to the availability of Rule 144 under the Securities Act set forth in paragraph
(c) of Rule 144 shall be satisfied. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements. Upon the request of any Registration Party for so long as such information is a
necessary element of such Person’s ability to avail itself of Rule 144, the Company will deliver to
such Person (i) a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and (ii) a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and
documents so filed as such Person may reasonably request in availing itself of
any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing such Person to sell any such securities without
registration.



48









 





     Section 5.12 Holdback Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities (whether or not such
Registrable Securities are covered by a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 5.1 or
Section 5.2) agrees, if requested (pursuant to a timely written notice) by the managing underwriter
or underwriters in an underwritten offering, not to effect any public sale or distribution of any
of the Registrable Securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (except as part of such
underwritten offering), during the period beginning ten days prior to, and ending up to 90 days (or
such lesser period applicable to Selling Holders that are selling in such offering) after, the
closing date of the underwritten offering made pursuant to such registration statement. The
foregoing provisions shall not apply to the Company or any other Person if such Person is prevented
by applicable statute or regulation from entering into any such agreement; provided,
however, that any such Person shall undertake not to effect any public sale or distribution
of the class of securities covered by such registration statement (except as part of the
underwritten offering) during such period unless it has provided 60 days’ prior written notice of
such sale or distribution to the managing underwriter.



     Section 5.13 Suspension of Sales. Each Selling Holder participating in a registration agrees that, upon receipt of notice
from the Company pursuant to Section 5.7(f), such Selling Holder will discontinue disposition of
its Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement until receipt of the copies of
the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 5.7(f), or until advised in writing
by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, as the case may be, and, if so
directed by the Company, such Selling Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense)
all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the
prospectus covering such Registrable Securities which are current at the time of the receipt of the
notice of the event described in Section 5.7(f).



     Section 5.14 Third Party Registration Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Company from providing
registration rights to any other Person on such terms as the Board deems desirable in its sole
discretion; provided, that so long as (i) the HF Stockholders collectively own Shares
representing at least 50% of the portion of the Voting Power (as adjusted for stock splits and the
like) represented by Shares owned by the HF Stockholders immediately prior to the consummation of
the IPO, such registration rights are approved in writing by the HF Stockholders and (ii) the GA
Stockholders collectively own Shares representing at least 50% of the portion of the Voting Power
(as adjusted for stock splits and the like) represented by Shares owned by the GA Stockholders
immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO, such registration rights are approved in writing
by the GA Stockholders.

Institutional Stockholder in a Public Offering pursuant to Article V or (v) of Class B Shares in an
Exchange or to the Company in accordance with Section 8.1(c) of

     (b) From and after the date hereof, no eRx Stockholder shall Transfer all or any portion of
its Shares, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the HF Stockholders and
the GA Stockholders except for Transfers (i) to an eRx Permitted Transferee, provided such

     (d) If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.1, all or any portion of a
Stockholder’s Shares are Transferred in violation of the other provisions of this Section 6.1,
involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, then without limiting any other rights and
remedies available to the other parties under this Agreement or otherwise, the Transferee of such
Shares (or portion thereof) shall not be permitted to become a party to this Agreement as an
Institutional Stockholder, eRx Stockholder or Management Stockholder, as the case may be, as set
forth in Section 6.2, or be entitled to any rights as an Institutional Stockholder, eRx Stockholder
or Management Stockholder hereunder, as the case may be, and, in the case of an Institutional
Stockholder, the Institutional Stockholder whose Shares have been Transferred in violation of the
other provisions of this Section 6.1 shall, together with its Affiliates, lose all rights it may
have pursuant to Section 2.1, but will continue to be bound by all obligations hereunder, unless
each Institutional Stockholder consents in writing to such Transferee becoming an Institutional
Stockholder, which consent shall be granted or withheld in each Institutional Stockholder’s sole
discretion. Any attempted or purported Transfer of all or a portion of the Shares held by such
Stockholder in violation of this Section 6.1 shall be null and void and of no force or effect
whatsoever, such Stockholder will not be treated as an owner of Shares for purposes of this
Agreement or otherwise, and the Company will not register such Transfer of Shares.



     (e) If any Permitted Transferee to which Shares have been Transferred in accordance with this
Agreement ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder, such Permitted Transferee shall,
and the relevant Stockholder shall cause such Permitted Transferee to, Transfer back to such
Stockholder (or to another Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder) any Shares it owns on or prior
to the date that such Permitted Transferee ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder.



     Section 6.2 Transferee Stockholders. A Transferee of Shares pursuant to this Article VI who is a Permitted Transferee shall, in

including Section 6.1, (b) execute a joinder in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C
agreeing to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and assuming all of the
Transferor’s then existing and future Liabilities arising under or relating to this Agreement, and
(c) represent that the Transfer was made in accordance with all applicable securities laws and
regulations. Unless agreed to in writing by all Institutional Stockholders, the joinder by a
Stockholder to this Agreement shall not result in the release of the Transferor from any Liability
that the Transferor may have to each remaining Stockholder or to the Company under this
Agreement or any other written agreement, contract, lease, sublease, license, sublicense,
obligation, promise or undertaking between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand,
and such Transferor or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand. Written notice of joinder of a



51









 







Person to this Agreement as a Stockholder shall be sent promptly by the Transferor to each
remaining Stockholder and the Company.



     Section 6.3 Tag-Along Right.



     (a) In connection with any direct or indirect Transfer (other than (x) a Public Offering
pursuant to Article V, which shall be governed by the provisions of Article V, (y) a distribution
of Equity Securities of the Company by any Institutional Stockholder to its members, partners,
unitholders or stockholders, and (z) an Exchange) for value of any Class A Shares (including any
Class A Shares issuable or issued upon conversion or exchange of other securities of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries) by (i) a GA Stockholder that, together with all other GA Stockholders,
beneficially owns at least 5% of the outstanding Shares immediately prior to such Transfer, to any
Person other than a GA Permitted Transferee or (ii) an HF Stockholder that, together with all other
HF Stockholders, beneficially owns at least 5% of the outstanding Shares immediately prior to such
Transfer, to any Person other than an HF Permitted Transferee (such proposed Transferor, in either
case, a “Tag-Along Seller” and such proposed Transfer, a “Tag-Along Sale
Transaction”), each other Institutional Stockholder, each Management Stockholder and each eRx
Stockholder (an “Other Stockholder”) shall have the right to sell a proportionate amount of
its vested Class A Shares (including any Class A Shares issuable or issued upon conversion or
exchange of vested other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) based on the
relative number of such Class A Shares owned by such Other Stockholder, subject to the priorities
set forth in Article IV with respect to the GA Stockholders and HF Stockholders, to such third
party for the same price per Class A Share and on the same other terms and conditions as are
applicable to the Tag-Along Seller, including that any such Other Stockholder will be required to
make the same representations, warranties or indemnifications (and, if necessary, to contribute
proceeds to an escrow account to secure any such indemnification claims) on a several and pro rata
basis (in proportion to the number of Shares being Transferred by each) with all other
participating Stockholders with respect to its Class A Shares, and to take on any other recourse or
liability, as applicable to the Tag-Along Seller in connection with such Tag-Along Sale Transaction
(a “Tag-Along Right”); provided, however, that no Other Stockholder will be
required to enter into non-competition or similar agreements or take on any other recourse,
indemnification obligations or liability, other than with respect to a proportionate holdback,
escrow or similar arrangement; provided, further that the proceeds of any Transfer
of Escrowed Shares by an eRx Stockholder shall remain subject to the Escrow Agreement in accordance
with the terms thereof.



     (b) If the Tag-Along Seller wishes to complete a Tag-Along Sale Transaction, the Tag-Along
Seller will send a notice to the Other Stockholders (a “Sale Notice”), which Sale Notice
shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed Tag-Along Sale Transaction, including the price
and material terms thereof. In determining the price
for purposes of the foregoing sentence, there shall be taken into account any other
consideration to be received, directly or indirectly, from the Transferee or its Affiliates, by the
Tag-Along Seller or its Affiliates in connection with or relating to the Tag-Along Sale
Transaction. Each Other Stockholder receiving the Sale Notice will have the right to exercise its
Tag-Along Right by written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) given by such



52









 







Other Stockholder to
the Tag-Along Seller which shall state the portion of such Other Stockholder’s Class A Shares to be
sold. An Other Stockholder must elect to exercise its Tag-Along Right under this Section 6.3(b) by
delivering a Tag-Along Notice to the Tag-Along Seller in writing within ten Business Days of the
receipt of a Sale Notice. Upon receipt of a Tag-Along Notice, each such Other Stockholder shall be
irrevocably obligated to Transfer a pro rata portion of its Class A Shares (and the corresponding
portion of its Class A Shares) for a purchase price equal to the purchase price per Class A Share
described in the Sale Notice, and upon the other terms and conditions of such transaction (and
otherwise take all reasonably necessary action to cause consummation of the proposed transaction
and becoming a party to the transfer agreement).



     (c) If any Other Stockholder elects not to exercise or fails to exercise its Tag-Along Right
within ten Business Days of receipt of the Sale Notice, the Tag-Along Seller may, within 90 days
after delivery of the Sale Notice to the Other Stockholders, consummate the Tag-Along Sale
Transaction on the terms and conditions described in the Sale Notice and without selling any
portion of the Class A Shares held by any Other Stockholder so electing not to or failing to
exercise its Tag-Along Right. If the terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Sale Transaction are
revised to be more favorable to the Tag-Along Seller than those described in the Sale Notice, the
proposed Tag-Along Sale Transaction to be conducted will be considered a separate Tag-Along Sale
Transaction and shall be subject to the Tag-Along Right and shall require compliance by the
Tag-Along Seller with the procedure described in this Section 6.3.



     (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.3(b) and Section 6.3(c), in the event of a
Tag-Along Sale Transaction that is a sale in a broker’s transaction (as defined in subsection (f)
of Rule 144 under the Securities Act), the Tag-Along Seller shall not be required to specify the
proposed price in the Sale Notice. The Tag-Along Seller shall instead be required to cooperate
with the Other Stockholders in order to permit any Other Stockholder delivering a Tag-Along Notice
to sell a proportionate amount of its Class A Shares, subject to the priorities set forth in
Article IV with respect to the GA Stockholders and HF Stockholders, for the same price per Class A
Share and on the same other terms and conditions as are applicable to the Tag-Along Seller in such
broker’s transaction. No Tag-Along Seller shall Transfer all or any portion of its Shares in a
Tag-Along Transaction in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act unless (i) if an HF
Stockholder, Management Stockholder or eRx Stockholder that holds units of EBS Master elects to
exercise its Tag-Along Right, a Form S- 3 Shelf Registration Statement permitting such HF
Stockholder, Management Stockholder or eRx Stockholder to participate in the Tag-Along Transaction
shall then be effective and (ii) each Other Stockholder (excluding an HF Stockholder, Management
Stockholder or eRx Stockholder that holds units of EBS Master) electing to exercise its Tag-Along
Right is otherwise then also able to Transfer its Shares in such Tag-Along Transaction without
having to register such Shares pursuant to the Securities Act.



     Section 6.4 Legend.



     (a) Each certificate representing a Share, if any, will be stamped or otherwise imprinted with
a legend in substantially the following form:



53









 






“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.
THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT.




THE TRANSFER AND VOTING OF THESE SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS
SPECIFIED IN THE STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT OF EMDEON INC. DATED AS OF
[___], 2009, AMONG THE STOCKHOLDERS LISTED THEREIN, AS IT MAY BE
AMENDED, SUPPLEMENTED AND/OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND NO TRANSFER OF
THESE SECURITIES WILL BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN
FULFILLED. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN
REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF
THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES.”



     (b) If any Class A Shares shall be either (i) disposed of pursuant to a registration statement
that has been declared effective by the SEC or (ii) sold under circumstances in which all of the
applicable conditions of Rule 144 are met, the Company, upon the written request of the holder
thereof, shall issue to such holder a new certificate evidencing such Class A Shares without the
legend required by Section 6.4(a) endorsed thereon. If any Class A Shares cease to be subject to
any and all restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Agreement, the Company, upon the written
request of the holder thereof, shall issue to such holder a new certificate evidencing such Class A
Shares without the second sentence of the legend required by Section 6.4(a) endorsed thereon.



     Section 6.5 Further Limits on Transfer or Issuance of Class B Shares. The parties each acknowledge and agree that no Class B Shares may be Transferred unless a
corresponding number of units of EBS Master are Transferred therewith (including any issuances or
transfers of Class B Shares, held in treasury or otherwise, by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries) and that the Company will not register any Transfer of Class B Shares that does not
satisfy this Section 6.5.

Stockholders;
provided, however, that the written approval of (x) the Management Stockholders
holding Shares with a majority of the portion of the Voting Power represented by all Shares then
held by the Management Stockholders shall be required for any amendment or modification to
Article V, Article VI or to this Section 7.3, in each case solely insofar as such amendment or
modification (individually or when aggregated with all such amendments and modifications)
materially and adversely alters the rights, remedies or obligations of the Management Stockholders
relative to the rights, remedies and obligations of the Institutional Stockholders and (y) eRx
Stockholders holding Shares with a majority of the portion of the Voting Power represented by all
Shares then held by the eRx Stockholders shall be required for any amendment or modification to
Article V, Article VI or to this Section 7.3, in each case solely insofar as such amendment or
modification (individually or when aggregated with all such amendments and modifications)
materially and adversely alters the rights, remedies or obligations of any eRx Stockholders
relative to the rights, remedies and obligations of the Institutional Stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Company, (ii) GA Stockholders holding Shares with a majority
of the Voting Power of all Shares then held by the GA Stockholders and (iii) HF Stockholders
holding Shares with a majority of the Voting Power of all Shares then held by the HF Stockholders,
may amend this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Reorganization Agreement (as defined in the
Amended EBS Master LLC Agreement) without the consent of any other Person. No waiver of any
provision or default under, nor consent to any exception to, the terms of this Agreement or any
agreement contemplated hereby shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be
bound and then only to the specific purpose, extent and instance so provided.



     Section 7.4 Termination.



     (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate as follows:




	 	(i)	 	the provisions of Article II, clause (a) of
Section 7.1 and Section 7.2(a)(ii) shall terminate at such time as

Power and (y) the HF Stockholders collectively own less than
5% of the Voting Power;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the provisions of Article IV and Article VI

Stockholders collectively own less than 25% of the Voting Power or
(B) the two-year anniversary of the IPO Date has passed;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the provisions of Article V shall
terminate with respect to any Institutional Stockholder, Management
Stockholder or eRx Stockholder, as the case may be, at such time as
such Institutional Stockholder, Management Stockholder or eRx
Stockholder ceases to own any Shares; provided,
however, 




56









 






	 	 	 	that Section 5.9 shall survive such termination to
the extent applicable to such Institutional Stockholder, Management
Stockholder or eRx Stockholder with respect to any offering of
Registrable Securities completed on or before the date such
Institutional Stockholder, Management Stockholder or eRx Stockholder
ceased to own any Shares; and






	 	(iv)	 	the provisions of clause (b) of Section 7.1
shall terminate at such time as the Board no longer includes any
nominees of the GA Stockholders and the HF Stockholders.





     (b) Termination of any provisions of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any
Liability for the breach of any obligations set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of Section 7.3 through
Section 7.20 shall survive any termination of any provisions of this Agreement.



     Section 7.5 Further Assurances. Each party agrees that it will from time to time, upon the reasonable request of another
party, execute such documents and instruments and take such further action as may be required to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.



     Section 7.6 Binding Effect; Assignment.



     (a) Subject to Section 7.6(b), all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon the parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.



     (b) Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy or Liability arising hereunder or by reason
hereof shall be assignable by any party pursuant to any Transfer of Shares or otherwise, except (i)
assignments by Institutional Stockholders, Management
Stockholders and eRx Stockholders in connection with Transfers to Permitted Transferees in
accordance with Section 6.1 and (ii) as provided in Section 5.1(c).



     (c) The Management Stockholders and eRx Stockholders are parties solely for the purposes of
Article I, Article V, Section 6.1, Section 6.2, Section 6.3, Section 6.4, Section 6.5 and Article
VII and shall not have any rights, remedies or obligations under any other provisions of this
Agreement.



     (d) For any Person other than the Company whose name is set forth on the signature pages
hereto, in the event that such Person executes and delivers this Agreement prior to such Person
owning any shares of capital stock of the Company or acquiring Class A Shares or Class B Shares
pursuant to the “Reorganization Transactions” contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, the
applicable provisions of this Agreement shall become binding upon such Person when such Person
first acquires shares of capital stock of the Company.




57












 





          Section 7.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all Exhibits and
Schedules hereto and thereto and all other agreements referenced therein and herein, constitute the
entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede
all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether
oral or written, of the parties and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements
between the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof except as specifically set forth
herein and therein.



          Section 7.8 Rights of Stockholders Independent. The rights available to the
Institutional Stockholders and Management Stockholders under this Agreement and at law shall be
deemed to be several and not dependent on each other and each such right accordingly shall be
construed as complete in itself and not by reference to any other such right. Any one or more
and/or any combination of such rights may be exercised by an Institutional Stockholder, Management
Stockholder and/or the Company from time to time and no such exercise shall exhaust the rights or
preclude another Institutional Stockholder or Management Stockholder from exercising any one or
more of such rights or combination thereof from time to time thereafter or simultaneously.



          Section 7.9 Confidentiality. Subject to the final sentence of this
Section 7.9, each Institutional Stockholder recognizes and acknowledges that it has and may in the
future receive certain confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, including confidential information of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries regarding identifiable, specific and discrete business opportunities being pursued by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Confidential Information”). Each
Institutional Stockholder (on behalf of itself and, to the extent that such Institutional
Stockholder would be responsible for the acts of the following persons under principles of agency
law, its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, agents and members) agrees that it
will not, during or after the term of this Agreement, whether directly or indirectly through an
Affiliate or otherwise, take commercial or proprietary advantage of or profit from any Confidential
Information or disclose Confidential Information to any Person for any reason or purpose
whatsoever, except (a) to authorized directors, officers, representatives, agents and employees of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and as otherwise may be proper in the course of performing
such Institutional Stockholder’s obligations, or enforcing such Institutional Stockholder’s rights,
under this Agreement and the agreements expressly contemplated hereby; (b) as part of such
Institutional Stockholder’s normal reporting, rating or review procedure (including normal credit
rating or pricing process), or in connection with such Institutional Stockholder’s or such
Institutional Stockholder’s Affiliates’ normal fund raising, marketing, informational or reporting
activities, or to such Institutional Stockholder’s (or any of its Affiliates’) Affiliates,
auditors, attorneys or other agents; provided that no disclosure of Confidential
Information shall be made pursuant to this clause (b) unless the recipient enters into an agreement
not to disclose such Confidential Information or is otherwise required to keep such Confidential
Information confidential; (c) to any bona fide prospective purchaser of the equity or assets of
such Institutional Stockholder or its Affiliates or the Shares held by such Institutional
Stockholder, or



58









 




prospective merger partner of such Institutional Stockholder or its Affiliates,
provided that such purchaser or merger partner acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the
provisions of this Section 7.9 or (d) as is required to be disclosed by order of a Governmental
Entity, or by subpoena, summons or legal process, or by Law (provided that, to the extent
permitted by Law, the Institutional Stockholder required to make such disclosure shall provide to
the Board prompt notice of such disclosure). For purposes of this Section 7.9, “Confidential
Information” shall not include any information of which (x) such Person learns from a source
other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their representatives, employees,
agents or other service providers, and in each case who is not known by such Person to be bound by
a confidentiality obligation, or (y) is disclosed in a prospectus or other documents for
dissemination to the public. The provisions of this Section 7.9 shall continue in effect against
each Institutional Stockholder so long such as such Institutional Stockholder continues to be an
Institutional Stockholder and for a period of five years thereafter.




          Section 7.10 Governing Law. This Agreement, the legal relations between the
parties and any claim, action, suit, arbitration, inquiry, proceeding or investigation by or before
any Governmental Entity, whether contractual or non-contractual, instituted by any party with
respect to matters arising under or growing out of or in connection with or in respect of this
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware
applicable to contracts made and performed in such State and without regard to conflicts of law
doctrines, except to the extent that certain matters are preempted by federal law or are governed
as a matter of controlling law by the law of the jurisdiction of organization of the respective
parties.



          Section 7.11 Jurisdiction and Venue. The parties hereto hereby agree and
consent to be subject to the jurisdiction of any federal court of the District of Delaware or the
Delaware Court of Chancery over any action, suit or proceeding (a “Legal Action”) arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement. The parties hereto irrevocably waive the defense of
an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such Legal Action. Each of the parties hereto
further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in
any such Legal Action by the mailing of copies thereof by registered mail, postage prepaid, to such
party at its address set forth in this Agreement, such service of process to be effective upon
acknowledgment of receipt of such registered mail. Nothing in this Section 7.11 shall affect the
right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.



          Section 7.12 Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto acknowledge that the
remedies at law of the other parties for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement would be
inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, any party to this Agreement, without posting any bond,
and in addition to all other remedies that may be available, shall be entitled to obtain equitable
relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent
injunction or any other equitable remedy that may then be available.

other agreement (or document) delivered pursuant hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts

and the same agreement (or other document) and shall become effective (unless otherwise provided
therein) when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other
party.
