United States federal income tax purposes currently have and will have in effect an election under
Section 754 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
for each Taxable Year in which a taxable acquisition of Units by the Corporate Taxpayer or EBS from
an Equity Plan Member for cash or Class A Shares (an “Exchange”) occurs;

          WHEREAS, the income, gain, loss, expense and other Tax (as defined below) items of the

set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

held by the Equity Plan Members and the payments made to the Equity Plan Members pursuant to this

company is a Subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof; or

other disposition by the Corporate Taxpayer of all or substantially all of the
Corporate Taxpayer’s assets to an entity, at least 50% of the combined voting
power of the voting securities of which are owned by shareholders of the
Corporate Taxpayer in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of
the Corporate Taxpayer immediately prior to such sale.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to clause (ii) and clause (iii)(x) above, a
“Change of Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any
transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of
the shares of the Corporate Taxpayer immediately prior to such transaction or series of
transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in, and own

for the avoidance of doubt, Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest that would result from future
Tax Benefit Payments that would be paid in accordance with the Valuation Assumptions) in which such

of sale of the relevant asset (if earlier than such fifteenth anniversary), (5) any Subsidiary
Stock will be deemed never to be disposed of; provided, that, except in respect of a
termination payment pursuant to Section 7.13(b), if (i)
the ITR Entity delivers to the Corporate Taxpayer a written opinion of a Qualified Tax Advisor
to the effect that as a result of a certain transaction (or series of transactions), it is more
likely than not that the tax basis in the amortizable or depreciable assets of the Corporate
Taxpayer will be increased by reference to the tax basis in such Subsidiary Stock and the tax basis
in such Subsidiary Stock will decrease accordingly, and (ii) the Corporate Taxpayer determines that
it is commercially reasonable to effectuate such transaction (or series of transactions), then the
Valuation Assumptions will take into account such increased tax basis in the amortizable or
depreciable assets of the Corporate Taxpayer, and (6) if, at the Early Termination Date, there are
Units that have not been Exchanged, then each such Unit shall be deemed to be Exchanged for the
Market Value of the Class A Shares and the amount of cash that would be transferred if the Exchange
occurred on the Early Termination Date.

ARTICLE II

DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

          Section 2.1
 Basis Adjustment. Within 90 calendar days after the filing of the United States federal income tax return of the
Corporate Taxpayer for each Taxable Year in which any Exchange has been effected, the Corporate
Taxpayer shall deliver to each applicable Equity Plan Member a schedule (the “Exchange Basis
Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail necessary to perform the calculations required by
this Agreement, including with respect to each Exchanging party, for purposes of Taxes, (i) the
Non-Stepped Up Tax Basis of the Reference Assets as of each applicable Exchange Date, (ii) the
Basis Adjustment with respect to the Reference Assets as a result of the Exchanges effected by such
Equity Plan Member in such Taxable Year, calculated in the aggregate, (iii) the period (or periods)
over which the Reference Assets are amortizable and/or depreciable and (iv) the period (or periods)
over which each Basis Adjustment is amortizable and/or depreciable.

          Section 2.2 Tax Benefit Schedule.

          (a) Tax Benefit Schedule. Within 90 calendar days after the filing of the United
States federal income tax return of the Corporate Taxpayer for any Taxable Year in which there is a
Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, the Corporate Taxpayer shall provide to each
applicable Equity Plan Member a schedule showing, in reasonable detail and, at the request of the
applicable Equity Plan Member, with respect to each separate Exchange, the calculation of the
Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment attributable to such Equity Plan Member for such
Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). The Tax Benefit Schedule will become final as
provided in Section 2.3(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.3(b) (subject to the
procedures set forth in Section 2.3(b)).

          (b) Applicable Principles. Subject to Section 3.3(a), the Realized Tax Benefit or
Realized Tax Detriment for each Taxable Year is intended to measure the decrease or increase in the
actual liability for Taxes of the Corporate Taxpayer for such Taxable Year attributable to the
Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest, determined using a “with and without” methodology. For the
avoidance of doubt, the actual liability for Taxes will take into account the deduction of the
portion of the Tax Benefit Payment that must be accounted for as interest under the Code based upon
the characterization of Tax Benefit Payments as additional consideration payable by the Corporate
Taxpayer for the Units acquired in an Exchange. Carryovers or carrybacks of any Tax item
attributable to the Basis Adjustment and Imputed Interest shall be considered to be subject to the
rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions of U.S. state and
local income and franchise tax law, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of
carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. If a carryover or carryback of any Tax item
includes a portion that is attributable to the Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest and another
portion that is not, such portions shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and
without” methodology. The parties agree that (i) all Tax Benefit Payments attributable to the
Basis Adjustments (other than amounts accounted for as interest under the Code) will (A) be treated
as subsequent upward purchase price adjustments that give

9

 

rise to further Basis Adjustments to
Reference Assets for the Corporate Taxpayer and (B) have the effect of creating additional Basis
Adjustments to Reference Assets for the Corporate Taxpayer in the year of payment, and (ii) as a
result, such additional Basis Adjustments will be incorporated into the current year calculation
and into future year calculations, as appropriate.

          Section 2.3 Procedures, Amendments.

          (a) Procedure. Every time the Corporate Taxpayer delivers to an Equity Plan Member an
applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to
Section 2.3(b), but excluding any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule,
the Corporate Taxpayer shall also (x) deliver to the Equity Plan Member schedules and work papers,
as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer or requested by the Equity Plan Member, providing
reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Schedule and (y) allow the Equity Plan Member
reasonable access at no cost to the appropriate representatives at the Corporate Taxpayer, as
determined by the Corporate Taxpayer or requested by the Equity Plan Member, in connection with a
review of such Schedule. Without limiting the application of the preceding sentence, each time the
Corporate Taxpayer delivers to an Equity Plan Member a Tax Benefit Schedule, in addition to the Tax
Benefit Schedule duly completed, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to the Equity Plan Member the
Corporate Taxpayer Return, the reasonably detailed calculation by the Corporate Taxpayer of the
Hypothetical Tax Liability, the reasonably detailed calculation by the Corporate Taxpayer of the
actual Tax liability, as well as any other work papers as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer or
requested by the Equity Plan Member. An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall become
final and binding on all parties 30 calendar days from the first date on which the Equity Plan
Member has received the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto unless the Equity Plan Member (i)
within 30 calendar days after receiving an applicable Schedule or amendment thereto, provides the
Corporate Taxpayer with notice of a material objection to such Schedule (“Objection
Notice”) made in good faith or (ii) provides a written waiver of such right of any Objection
Notice within
the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto
becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer. If the parties, for
any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Objection Notice within 30
calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of an Objection Notice, the Corporate
Taxpayer and the Equity Plan Member shall employ the reconciliation procedures as described in
Section 7.9 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).

          (b) Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from
time to time by the Corporate Taxpayer (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such
Schedule, (ii) to correct inaccuracies in the Schedule identified as a result of the receipt of
additional factual information relating to a Taxable Year after the date the Schedule was provided
to the Equity Plan Member, (iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation
Procedures, (iv) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such
Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other tax item to such
Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for
such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year, or (vi) to
adjust the Exchange Basis Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this Agreement
(any such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”).

ARTICLE III

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

          Section 3.1 Payments.

          (a) Payments. Within five (5) calendar days after a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to
an Equity Plan Member becomes final in accordance with Section 2.3(a), the Corporate Taxpayer shall
pay to the Equity Plan Member for such Taxable Year the Tax Benefit Payment for such Equity Plan
Member determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b). Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by the Equity
Plan Member to the Corporate Taxpayer or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and the
Equity Plan Member. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of
estimated tax payments, including, without limitation, federal estimated income tax payments.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate Tax Benefit
Payments in respect of any Exchange (other than amounts accounted for as interest under the Code)
exceed 50% of the purchase price for the Units exchanged.

          (b) A “Tax Benefit Payment” for an Equity Plan Member means an amount, not less than
zero, equal to the sum of the Net Tax Benefit attributable to the Exchanges by such Equity Plan
Member and the corresponding Interest Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, for Tax purposes, the
Interest Amount shall not be treated as interest but instead shall be treated as additional
consideration for the acquisition of Units in Exchanges, unless otherwise required by
law. Subject to Section 3.3(a), the “Net Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year
shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax
Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year over the total amount of payments previously made under
this Section 3.1 to such Equity Plan Member (excluding payments attributable to Interest Amounts);
provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no Equity Plan Member shall be required to
return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment. The “Interest Amount” shall
equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit attributable to Exchanges by such Equity Plan Member
calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporate
Taxpayer Return with respect to Taxes for such Taxable Year until the Payment Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of a Change of
Control, all Tax Benefit Payments, whether paid with respect to the Units that were Exchanged (i)
prior to the date of such Change of Control or (ii) on or after the date of such Change of Control,
shall be calculated by utilizing Valuation Assumptions (1), (3), (4) and (5), substituting in each
case the terms “the closing date of a Change of Control” for an “Early Termination Date.”

          Section 3.2 No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment
of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. It is also intended that the
provisions of this Agreement provide that Tax Benefit Payments are paid to the Equity Plan Members
pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate
manner to ensure such intentions are realized.

11

 

          Section 3.3 Pro Rata Payments; Coordination of Benefits With Other Tax Receivable
Agreements.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1 to the contrary, to the extent that the aggregate
tax benefit of the Corporate Taxpayer’s deduction with respect to the NOLs, the Pre-IPO Basis
Adjustments, the Basis Adjustments or Imputed Interest under the Tax Receivable Agreements (as such
terms are defined in each Tax Receivable Agreement) is limited in a particular Taxable Year because
the Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient taxable income, the limitation on the tax benefit
for the Corporate Taxpayer shall be allocated among the Tax Receivable Agreements (and among all
parties eligible for payments thereunder) in proportion to the respective amounts of Realized Tax
Benefits that would have been determined under the Tax Receivable Agreements if the Corporate
Taxpayer had sufficient taxable income so that there were no such limitation.

          (b) If for any reason the Corporate Taxpayer does not fully satisfy its payment obligations to
make all Tax Benefit Payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreements in respect of a particular
Taxable Year, then the Corporate Taxpayer and the Equity Plan Members agree that (i) the Corporate
Taxpayer shall pay the same proportion of each Tax Benefit Payment due under each of the Tax
Receivable Agreements in respect of such Taxable Year, without favoring one obligation over the
other, and (ii) no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any Taxable Year until all Tax
Benefit Payments in respect of prior Taxable Years have been made in full.

          (c) To the extent that the Corporate Taxpayer makes payments to any Equity Plan Member in
respect of a particular Taxable Year in an amount greater than the payments that should have been
made in accordance with Section 3.3(b), then such Equity Plan Member shall be obligated to make
payments to the ITR Entity (as defined in the Investors Tax Receivable Agreement (Reorganizations)
and the Investors Tax Receivable Agreement (Exchanges)) in the amounts necessary so that each party
to the Tax Receivable Agreements (other than the Corporate Taxpayer) shall have received the amount
that it would have received if all payments by the Corporate Taxpayer had been in accordance with
Section 3.3(b); provided that an Equity Plan Member’s obligation to pay over to the parties
to the other Tax Receivable Agreements amounts received from the Corporate Taxpayer pursuant to
this Section 3.3(c) shall terminate on the one year anniversary of the receipt by the Equity Plan
Member of such amounts.

          (d) The parties hereto agree that the parties to the Investors Tax Receivable Agreement
(Reorganizations) and the Investors Tax Receivable Agreement (Exchanges) are expressly made third
party beneficiaries of the provisions of this Section 3.3.

ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION

          Section 4.1 Early Termination and Breach of Agreement.

          (a) With the written approval of a majority of the Independent Directors, the Corporate
Taxpayer may terminate this Agreement with respect to all amounts payable to the

12

 

Equity Plan
Members and with respect to all of the Units held by all Equity Plan Members at any time by paying
to all of the Equity Plan Members the Early Termination Payment; provided, however,
that this Agreement shall only terminate upon the receipt of the Early Termination Payment by the
Equity Plan Members, and provided, further, that the Corporate Taxpayer may
withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a) prior to the time
at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination
Payments by the Corporate Taxpayer, neither the Equity Plan Member nor the Corporate Taxpayer shall
have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than for any (a) Tax Benefit
Payment agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer and the Equity Plan Member as due and payable but
unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (b) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year
ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the
amount described in clause (b) is included in the Early Termination Payment). If an Exchange
occurs after the Corporate Taxpayer exercises its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a), the
Corporate Taxpayer shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange.

          (b) In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches any of its material obligations under
this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any
other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of
this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then all obligations
hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be
calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and
shall include, but not be limited to, (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early
Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (2) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed
to by the Corporate Taxpayer and the Equity Plan Member as due and payable but unpaid as of the
date of a breach, and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including
the date of a breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporate Taxpayer
breaches this Agreement, the Equity Plan Members shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts
set forth in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof.
The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three
months of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation
under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it will not be considered to be a
breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this
Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement if the Corporate Taxpayer
fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due to the extent that the Corporate Taxpayer has
insufficient funds to make such payment; provided that the interest provisions of Section
5.2 shall apply to such late payment (unless the Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient cash
to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by existing credit agreements to which EBS
is a party, in which case Section 5.2 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the
Agreed Rate).

          Section 4.2 Early Termination Notice. If the Corporate Taxpayer chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section
4.1 above, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to the Equity Plan Member notice of such intention
to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early
Termination Schedule”) specifying the Corporate Taxpayer’s intention to exercise such right and
showing in reasonable detail the

13

 

calculation of the Early Termination Payment for the Equity Plan
Member. The Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties 30 calendar
days from the first date on which the Equity Plan Member has received such Schedule or amendment
thereto unless the Equity Plan Member (i) within 30 calendar days after receiving the Early
Termination Schedule, provides the Corporate Taxpayer with notice of a material objection to such
Schedule made in good faith (“Material Objection Notice”) or (ii) provides a written waiver
of such right of a Material Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in
which case such Schedule becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate
Taxpayer (the “Early Termination Effective Date”). If the parties, for any reason, are
unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within 30 calendar days after
receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and the
Equity Plan Member shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.

          Section 4.3 Payment upon Early Termination.

          (a) Within three calendar days after the Early Termination Effective Date, the Corporate
Taxpayer shall pay to the Equity Plan Member an amount equal to the Early
Termination Payment. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the Equity Plan Member or as otherwise agreed by
the Corporate Taxpayer and the Equity Plan Member.

          (b) “Early Termination Payment” shall equal, with respect to the applicable Equity
Plan Member, the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the Early
Termination Effective Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the
Corporate Taxpayer to such Equity Plan Member beginning from the Early Termination Date and
assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied.

ARTICLE V

SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS

          Section 5.1 Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit
Payment or Early Termination Payment required to be made by the Corporate Taxpayer to the Equity
Plan Member under this Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any
principal, interest or other amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations in respect of
indebtedness for borrowed money of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Subsidiaries (“Senior
Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of the
Corporate Taxpayer that are not Senior Obligations.

          Section 5.2 Late Payments by the Corporate Taxpayer. The amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment not
made to the applicable Equity Plan Member when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be
payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the
date on which such Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment was due and payable.

14

 

ARTICLE VI

NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION

          Section 6.1 Participation in the Corporate Taxpayer’s and EBS’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have full responsibility
for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Corporate Taxpayer and EBS, including
without limitation the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting
or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporate Taxpayer
shall notify the Equity Plan Members of, and keep the Equity Plan Members reasonably informed with
respect to, the portion of any audit of the Corporate Taxpayer and EBS by a Taxing Authority the
outcome of which is reasonably
expected to affect the rights and obligations of the Equity Plan Members under this Agreement,
and shall provide to the Equity Plan Members reasonable opportunity to provide information and
other input to the Corporate Taxpayer, EBS and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of
any such portion of such audit; provided, however, that the Corporate Taxpayer and
EBS shall not be required to take any action that is inconsistent with any provision of the LLC
Agreement.

          Section 6.2 Consistency. The Corporate Taxpayer and the applicable Equity Plan Member agree to report and cause to
be reported for all purposes, including federal, state and local Tax purposes and financial
reporting purposes, all Tax-related items (including without limitation the Basis Adjustments and
each Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that specified by the Corporate Taxpayer in
any Schedule required to be provided by or on behalf of the Corporate Taxpayer under this Agreement
unless otherwise required by law.

          Section 6.3 Cooperation. The applicable Equity Plan Members shall (a) furnish to the Corporate Taxpayer in a timely
manner such information, documents and other materials as the Corporate Taxpayer may reasonably
request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this
Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or contesting or defending any audit, examination or
controversy with any Taxing Authority, (b) make itself available to the Corporate Taxpayer and its
representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as
the Corporate Taxpayer or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the
matters described in clause (a) above, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such
matter, and the Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse the applicable Equity Plan Member for any
reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section.

reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

          Section 7.8 Resolution of Disputes.

          (a) Any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably, including any ancillary claims of
any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity,
negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement
(including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) (each a
“Dispute”) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in New
York in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of
Commerce. If the parties to the Dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within ten
(10) days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce
shall make the

17

 

appointment. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer admitted to the practice of law in the

this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings.

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), the Corporate Taxpayer may bring an
action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling a
party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder,

Member (i) expressly consents to the application of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.8 to any such
action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach
of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would
be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the Corporate Taxpayer as agent of such Equity Plan
Member for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that
service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise such Equity Plan Member of any such
service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Equity
Plan Member in any such action or proceeding.

          (c) (i) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN NEW
YORK, NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS
OF THIS SECTION 7.8, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR CONTEMPLATED
ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT. Such ancillary judicial
proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or
preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm an arbitration award. The parties
acknowledge that the fora designated by this paragraph (c) have a reasonable relation to this
Agreement, and to the parties’ relationship with one another; and

               (ii) The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue
of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in the preceding
paragraph of this Section 7.8 and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same.

          Section 7.9 Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer and an Equity Plan Member are unable to resolve a
disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Sections 2.3, 4.2 and 6.2 within the relevant
period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute
shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in
the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a
partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or
law firm, and unless the Corporate Taxpayer and the Equity Plan Member agree otherwise, the
Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship
with the Corporate Taxpayer or the Equity Plan Member or other actual or potential conflict of
interest. If the parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) days of receipt by
the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the Expert shall be appointed by
the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter
relating to the Exchange Basis Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule
or an amendment thereto within 30 calendar days and shall resolve any

18

 

 matter relating to a Tax
Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within 15 calendar days or as soon thereafter as is
reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for
resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any
payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or
any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid
on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the
Corporate Taxpayer, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses
relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the
Corporate Taxpayer except as provided in the next sentence. The Corporate Taxpayer and the Equity
Plan Member shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert
adopts the Equity Plan Member’s position, in which case the Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse the
Equity Plan Member for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii)
the Expert adopts the Corporate Taxpayer’s position, in which case the Equity Plan Member shall
reimburse the Corporate Taxpayer for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such
proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of
this Section 7.9 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any
Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be
binding on the Corporate Taxpayer and the Equity Plan Member and may be entered and enforced in any
court having jurisdiction.

          Section 7.10 Withholding. The Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable
pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Corporate Taxpayer is required to deduct and
withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local
or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate
Taxing Authority by the Corporate Taxpayer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes
of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Equity Plan Member.

          Section 7.11 Admission of the Corporate Taxpayer into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of
Corporate Assets.

          (a) If the Corporate Taxpayer is or becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of
corporations that files a consolidated income tax return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the
Code or any corresponding provisions of state or local law, then: (i) the provisions of this
Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii)
Tax Benefit Payments, Early Termination Payments and other applicable items hereunder shall be
computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole.

          (b) If any entity that is obligated to make a Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment
hereunder transfers one or more assets to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation
for U.S. income tax purposes) with which such entity does not file a consolidated tax return
pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any
Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity
and determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having
disposed of such asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The
consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the
contributed asset. For purposes of this

19

 

Section 7.11, a transfer of a partnership interest shall
be treated as a transfer of the transferring partner’s share of each of the assets and liabilities
of that partnership.

          Section 7.12 Confidentiality. Each Equity Plan Member and each assignee acknowledge and agree that the information of the
Corporate Taxpayer is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary
for the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce
the terms of this Agreement, such person shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not
disclose to any Person any confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of the
Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates and successors, concerning EBS and its Affiliates and
successors, the Original Members, or the other Equity Plan Members, learned by the Equity Plan
Member heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.12 shall not apply to (i) any information that has
been made publicly available by the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Affiliates, becomes public
knowledge (except as a result of an act of such Equity Plan Member in violation of this Agreement)
or is generally known to the business community and (ii) the disclosure of information to the
extent necessary for an Equity Plan Member to prepare and file his or her or its Tax Returns, to
respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any taxing authority or to prosecute or defend any
action, proceeding or audit by any taxing authority with respect to such returns. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, each Equity Plan Member and each assignee (and each employee,
representative or other agent of such Equity Plan Member or assignee, as applicable) may disclose
to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the
Corporate Taxpayer, EBS, the Original Members, the Equity Plan Members and their Affiliates, and
any of their transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses)
that are provided to the Equity Plan Members relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

If an Equity Plan Member or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any
of the provisions of this Section 7.12, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have the right and remedy to
have the provisions of this Section 7.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by
any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being
acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to
the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Subsidiaries, the Original Members, or the other Equity Plan
Members and the accounts and funds managed by the Corporate Taxpayer and that money damages alone
shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such
rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies
available at law or in equity.

          Section 7.13 Change in Law.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or
proposed change in law, an Equity Plan Member reasonably believes that the existence of this
Agreement could cause income (other than income arising from receipt of a payment under this
Agreement) recognized by such Equity Plan Member upon any Exchange to be treated as ordinary income
rather than capital gain (or otherwise taxed at ordinary income rates) for United States federal
income tax purposes or would have other material adverse tax consequences to the Equity Plan Member
(a “Change in Tax Law”), then at the election of such Equity Plan Member and to the extent
specified by such Equity Plan Member, this Agreement (i)

20

 

shall cease to have further effect, (ii)
shall not apply to an Exchange occurring after a date specified by the Equity Plan Member, or (iii)
shall otherwise be amended in a manner determined by the Equity Plan Member provided that such
amendment shall not result in an increase in payments under this Agreement at any time as compared
to the amounts and times of payments that would have been due in the absence of such amendment
(assuming that no payment is due under Section 7.13(b)).

          (b) If an Equity Plan Member delivers to the Corporate Taxpayer a notice of acceleration
accompanied by an opinion of a Qualified Tax Advisor to the effect that based upon such Change in
Tax Law (taking into account any applicable administrative pronouncements or rulings, formal or
informal Congressional actions or statements, or otherwise) (i) the existence of this Agreement
will more likely than not cause income (other than income arising from receipt of a payment under
this Agreement) recognized by such Equity Plan Member upon any Exchange to be treated as ordinary
income rather than capital gain (or otherwise taxed at ordinary income rates) for United States
federal income tax purposes or would have other material adverse tax consequences to such Equity
Plan Member, and (ii) substantially all of such income described in Section 7.13(b)(i) above would
be more likely than not taxable at capital gain rates or such other material adverse tax
consequences would be avoided as a result of making the election described in this Section 7.13(b),
then such Equity Plan Member may elect to cause the Corporate Taxpayer to make a lump sum payment
in lieu of the Tax Benefit Payments otherwise provided in this Agreement in accordance with the
procedures described in Article IV, in an amount equal to the sum of the present values of all such
Tax Benefits Payments, substituting in each case “70%” for “85%” in the calculation of Net Tax
Benefit, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the effective date specified in the notice
of acceleration, and assuming the Valuation Assumptions (1) through (5) are applied;
provided, that no amount shall be payable under this Section 7.13(b) unless, with respect
to at least 50% of the Units held by such Equity Plan Member at the time of execution of this
Agreement, all rights to payments under this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to
Section 7.13(a) (and for the avoidance of doubt, no payments pursuant to this Section 7.13(b) shall
be made in respect of such Units); provided, further, that if such payment would be
due on or after the effective date of the applicable Change in Tax Law, at the election of the
Equity Plan Member, such payment shall to the extent
reasonably practicable instead be made no later than the date prior to the effective date of
the applicable Change in Tax Law (using the best available estimates and information at such time).

          (c) The Corporate Taxpayer shall have the right to satisfy its obligation to make a lump sum
payment under Section 7.13(b) by issuing a subordinated debt instrument of the Corporate Taxpayer,
with a maturity date seven years after issuance, with interest payment required to be made
quarterly, and bearing interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) 6% per annum and (ii) LIBOR
plus 200 basis points.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Section 3.3(b) and Section 3.3(c) of the
Tax Receivable Agreements shall not apply to payments made by the Corporate Taxpayer pursuant to
this Section 7.13.

Exhibit 10.7

EXECUTION COPY

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

          This Agreement and Plan of Merger is made and entered into this 5th day of August, 2009 by and
among Emdeon Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Emdeon”), EBS Holdco II, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“Sub 2”), and H&F Harrington, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Harrington” and, together with Sub 2, the “Constituent Entities”).

WITNESSETH:

          WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Emdeon (on behalf of Emdeon in its own capacity and in its
capacity as the sole member of Sub 2) and the Board of Directors of Harrington each deem it
advisable and in the best interests of the Constituent Entities and their respective equityholders
that Harrington merge with and into Sub 2 under and pursuant to the provisions of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and the Delaware Limited Liability
Company Act (the “DLLCA”).

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

          Section 1.1 The Merger.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time
(as defined in Section 1.2) Harrington will be merged (the “Merger”) with and into Sub 2 in
accordance with the provisions of Section 264 of the DGCL and Section 18-209 of the DLLCA.
Following the Merger, Sub 2 will continue as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Entity”)
and the separate existence of Harrington shall cease.

          Section 1.2 Effective Time. The Merger will be consummated on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2.1) by the filing of
a certificate of merger substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Certificate of
Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Section 264 of
the DGCL and Section 18-209 of the DLLCA. The time the Merger becomes effective in accordance with
Section 103 of the DGCL and Section 18-209(d) of the DLLCA is referred to in this Agreement as the
“Effective Time.”

          Section 1.3 Effects of the Merger. The Merger will have the effects set forth in Section 259 (as incorporated by Section 264(e) of
the DGCL) and Section 18-209(g) of the DLLCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as
of the Effective Time, all properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Harrington will
vest in Sub 2, as the Surviving Entity, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Harrington will
become debts, liabilities and duties of Sub 2, as the Surviving Entity.

 

 

          Section 1.4 Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Agreement.

               (a) The Certificate of Formation of Sub 2 as in effect immediately preceding the Effective
Time shall remain unchanged as a result of the Merger and shall continue as the Certificate of
Formation of the Surviving Entity following the Merger.

               (b) The Limited Liability Company Agreement of Sub 2 as in effect immediately preceding the
Effective Time shall remain unchanged as a result of the Merger and shall continue as the Limited
Liability Company Agreement of the Surviving Entity following the Merger.

          Section 1.5 Officers. The officers of Sub 2 at the Effective Time, if any, shall continue as the officers of the
Surviving Entity, and will hold office from the Effective Time until their respective successors
are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in the Limited Liability Company
Agreement of the Surviving Entity or as otherwise provided by law.

          Section 1.6 Conversion of Interests. At the Effective Time, each of the following transactions shall be deemed to occur
simultaneously:

               (a) The limited liability company interests in Sub 2 outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (100% of which is held by Emdeon) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and become limited liability company
interests in the Surviving Entity.

               (b) Subject to Section 1.7, the shares of Common Stock of Harrington (“Harrington Common
Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and become an aggregate of
11,639,697 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Emdeon (“Emdeon
Class A Stock”). The sole stockholder of Harrington (the “Harrington Stockholder”)
shall receive, along with the Emdeon Class A Stock, the rights to receive payments in respect of
certain cash tax savings of Emdeon that are the subject of the Tax Receivable Agreement
(Reorganizations) to be entered into by and among Emdeon, H&F ITR Holdco, L.P., GA ITR Holdco,
L.P. and GA-H&F ITR Holdco, L.P., and that relate to Harrington and transactions entered into by
the Harrington Stockholder.

               (c) The parties acknowledge that Emdeon is issuing the Emdeon Class A Stock to the Harrington
Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.6(b) in reliance upon the representations given by the Harrington
Stockholder in Section 3.3 of the Reorganization Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2009, by and
among Emdeon, the Harrington Stockholder and the other persons party thereto (the
“Reorganization Agreement”).

2

 

          Section 1.7 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.6, no fractional shares of Emdeon Class A
Stock will be issued. If the number of shares of Emdeon Class A Stock to be received by the
Harrington Stockholder is not a whole number, then the number of shares of Emdeon Class A Stock
that the Harrington Stockholder shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement shall be
rounded up or down to the nearest whole share.

          Section 1.8 Harrington Representations. Harrington hereby makes the following representations and warranties:

               (a) Harrington has delivered to Emdeon and Sub 2 a true and complete copy of its certificate
of incorporation and bylaws, each as in effect on the date hereof.

               (b) The authorized capital stock of Harrington consists solely of 1,000 shares of Harrington
Common Stock.

               (c) As of the date hereof (and as of immediately prior to the Effective Time), (i) 1,000
shares of Harrington Common Stock are issued and outstanding and (ii) except as provided in the
foregoing clause (i), no other shares of any capital stock of Harrington, or securities convertible
or exchangeable into or exercisable for any shares of capital stock of Harrington, are issued,
reserved for issuance or outstanding.

               (d) Other than its investment in Hellman & Friedman Investors AIV I, L.P. and EBS Master LLC
and the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, Harrington (i) has not conducted
any business since its formation and (ii) has no indebtedness or other liabilities.

               (e) All shares of Harrington Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are
fully paid and non-assessable and are not subject to any pre-emptive rights.

          Section 1.9 Sub 2 Representations. Sub 2 hereby represents and warrants that it has no assets and has not conducted any business
since its formation other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Reorganization Agreement.

          Section 1.10 Emdeon Representations. Emdeon hereby represents and warrants that the Emdeon Class A Stock to be issued in accordance
with Section 1.6(b) will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Emdeon
and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

          Section 1.11 Tax Matters. Emdeon and the Constituent Entities intend for and will use all reasonable best efforts to
cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended.

ARTICLE II

          Section 2.1 The Closing. Promptly following the execution hereof, each of the Constituent Entities shall deliver to the

the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton
& Garrison LLP, 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019, on a date to be mutually

MISCELLANEOUS

          Section 3.1 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (which may be delivered by facsimile

Harrington and delivered to the other parties hereto.

          Section 3.2 Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement and the Merger may be terminated
or abandoned by agreement of each of Emdeon, Sub 2 and Harrington at any time prior to the
Effective Time.

          Section 3.3 Further Assurances. If at any time the Surviving Entity shall consider or be advised that any further assignment or
assurances in law are necessary or desirable to vest in the Surviving Entity the title to any
property or rights of the Constituent Entities, the members and officers of the Constituent
Entities shall grant the members and officers of the Surviving Entity a limited power of attorney
to execute and make all such proper assignments and assurances in law and to do all things
necessary and proper to thus vest such property or rights in the Surviving Entity, and otherwise to
carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

          Section 3.4 Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes arising under or related thereto shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements
made and to be performed entirely within such State, without regard to the conflicts of law
principles of such State.
