Item 1. Business
Overview
Eclipsys is a leading provider of advanced integrated clinical, revenue cycle and performance management software, and professional services
that help healthcare organizations improve clinical, financial, and operational outcomes. We develop and license proprietary software and
content that is designed for use in connection with many of the key clinical, financial and operational functions that healthcare organizations
require. Among other things, our software:
• enables physicians, nurses and other clinicians to coordinate care through shared electronic medical records, place orders and
access and share information about patients;
• helps our clients optimize the healthcare revenue cycle, including patient admissions, scheduling, invoicing, inventory control and
cost accounting;
• supports clinical and financial planning and analysis; and
• provides information for use by physicians, nurses and other clinicians through clinical content, which is integrated with our
software.
We also provide professional services related to our software. These services include software implementation and maintenance, outsourcing,
remote hosting of our software as well as third-party healthcare information technology applications, technical and user training and
consulting.
We believe that one of the key differentiators of our software is its open, flexible and modular architecture. This allows our software to be
installed one application at a time or all at once, and to generally integrate easily with software developed by other vendors or our clients. This
enables our clients to install our software without the disruption and expense of replacing their existing software systems to gain additional
functionality.
We market our software to healthcare providers of many different sizes and specialties, including community hospitals, large multi-entity
healthcare systems, academic medical centers, outpatient clinics and physician practices. Most of the top-ranked U.S. hospitals named in U.S.
News & World Report’s Honor Roll use one or more of our solutions.

Eclipsys was incorporated in Delaware as “Integrated Healthcare Solutions, Inc.” in 1995 and we changed our name to “Eclipsys Corporation”
in 1997.
Segments
Eclipsys operates in one segment, as further described in Note B, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recent Developments
In 2008, Eclipsys acquired Enterprise Performance Systems, Inc. (“EPSi”), MediNotes Corporation (“MediNotes”), and Premise Corporation
(“Premise”). Each of these companies added strategic new products that are expected to help improve our competitive position and also drive
additional revenue growth.
EPSi
In February 2008, Eclipsys acquired EPSi, a provider of business performance improvement solutions that help healthcare executives better
manage the business of healthcare by providing actionable financial management and decision support data from functional areas including
budgeting/planning, cost accounting, patient and financial/clinical analysis. EPSi’s solutions offer improved technology and lower cost of
ownership over prior generation products.
MediNotes
Our acquisition of MediNotes in October 2008 strengthens our corporate position in one of the fastest growing markets in healthcare, practice
management and electronic medical records focused on physician practices. In addition, MediNotes expands our community solution portfolio
of Web-based physician practice information solutions that help health systems better connect with physicians, and physicians with their
patients. MediNotes enhances our ability to offer Eclipsys healthcare enterprise clients and new prospects a broad range of solutions,
including tools and data to help them more effectively reach out into their communities to better coordinate care.
Premise
In December 2008, Eclipsys acquired Premise. This expanded our portfolio of solutions that help our clients improve operational performance,
which also includes EPSi software and our growing portfolio of analytics solutions. Premise’s software solutions and services for bed
management, bed turnover, and transport help optimize patient flow, streamline communications, and enhance operational efficiency. In 2008,
Premise’s bed management and patient throughput solutions received the exclusive endorsement of the American Hospital Association
(AHA). With many hospital expansion projects now on hold, Premise’s solutions help hospitals maximize the utilization of current bed
capacity. Premise’s solutions are well-suited for selling into the current economic environment as they help hospitals achieve a quick return on
investment with minimal up-front expense.
Initiatives and Challenges for 2009

To help clients address their needs to operate more efficiently in today’s challenging environment, and to differentiate our capabilities, we plan
to emphasize development and marketing of our performance management suite of solutions, comprising of Sunrise EPSi TM, Sunrise Patient
Flow TM and Sunrise Clinical Analytics TM. These solutions help healthcare organizations streamline and automate manual processes required
to gather, analyze and display enterprise-wide information. They also enable hospital senior and department level management to more easily
identify areas requiring intervention and to improve clinical quality, regulatory compliance, cost-efficiency, resource utilization and patient
satisfaction.

Some of our software is complex and highly configurable and many clients value our ability to adapt the software to their specific needs.
However, this high degree of configurability can result in significant implementation costs, which can make our offering too expensive for
some clients. Our ability to reach our goals for expansion into smaller clients and in the international market, and to sell to clients with
budgetary constraints, depends upon our ability to develop less costly ways of implementing our most complex software.
We continue to focus on expanding our international business, including our operations in India and sales of our solutions outside of North
America, such as the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East. We achieved some initial success with our sale of Sunrise Clinical Manager to
SingHealth, the largest healthcare provider in Singapore. Our performance at SingHealth is being closely monitored in the region, and could
prove to be a catalyst to help us drive business in new international markets. These international initiatives are important to our ability to grow
our business and require that we oversee development and client support capabilities in a high quality and cost-effective manner. We expect
to face challenges building brand-name recognition and adapting our software solutions to new international markets.
Recent disruptions in U.S. and international financial markets have adversely affected the availability of capital for our clients and potential
clients, which could negatively impact our sales. In addition, current economic conditions are motivating some clients and potential clients to
prefer software subscription contracting to traditional licensing arrangements. Given that periodic revenue from traditional license
arrangements carries high margins and contributes significantly to overall profitability in the transaction period, this client contracting
preference may affect our profitability in 2009.
Integrating the three companies we acquired in 2008 will present challenges. The anticipated benefits from these acquisitions may not be
achieved, and the diversion of management's attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could negatively impact our
business.
Healthcare Industry Factors

Healthcare organizations are under increased pressure to reduce medical errors and increase operational efficiencies. Our software and
services are designed to help clients achieve these objectives. Government regulations and the advancement of industry standards are
requiring changes within the healthcare industry. We believe that these changes and enhanced regulation and standards will increase demand
for healthcare information technology software and services such as ours, but will also require further research and development investments
in our software.
Payor Requirements. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, Inpatient Prospective Payment System rules identify
several “hospital-acquired conditions” the treatment for which is no longer reimbursable by Medicare. This new rule implements a
provision of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 that aims to eliminate reimbursement for the treatment of these hospital-acquired
conditions, unless the condition was present on admission. Since October 2008, Medicare claims that do not report secondary diagnoses
that are present on admission will be returned to the hospital for correct submission of present-on-admission information. In order to
avoid significant delays in Medicare reimbursement, hospitals must make significant changes to their admission and claims-submission
procedures. If this hospital-acquired condition rule proves effective, private insurers are likely to implement similar guidelines. Other
pending or potential requirements imposed by federal, state and local governments, as well as private payors, are also likely to affect
hospital reimbursements. Eclipsys has developed and made available eleven Outcomes Toolkits that provide our clients proven methods
of using our solutions effectively to improve outcomes in defined areas, with additional toolkits being developed. We believe many of
these toolkits will help our clients measure and report present-on-admission conditions, reduce their incidence of hospital-acquired
conditions, and address other payor requirements, thereby reducing risk of non-reimbursement. Additionally, these toolkits help enable
our clients to achieve quality measures imposed by payors, including those set forth by CMS, which have grown from 10 quality
measures in 2006 to 127 quality measures defined for 2011.

CCHIT. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services initiatives have, among other things, led to the creation of the private-
sector Certification Commission for Health Information Technology, or CCHIT, which consists of a 21-member Board of Commissioners
from across the healthcare industry and is the recognized certification body in the United States for certifying health information
technology products. CCHIT develops a set of private sector determined criteria for electronic health record functionality,
interoperability, reliability and security, and is inspecting electronic health record software to determine its performance against these
criteria. Eclipsys’ Sunrise Ambulatory Care™ 4.5 met CCHIT’s ambulatory electronic health record criteria for 2006. Sunrise Ambulatory
5.0 Service Pack 1 has been awarded pre-market conditional certification on 2007 criteria, and when a client reference site is available with
the required configuration elements, we will be submitting for full CCHIT certification. Full certification requires that a product is verified
to be in production use for a minimum of 45 calendar days at one or more live client sites.
In November 2007, we announced that Eclipsys’ Sunrise Acute Care release 4.5 Service Pack 4 is certified by CCHIT and meets the
inpatient electronic health record criteria for 2007. Inpatient electronic health records are designed for use in acute care hospitals.
Currently we have a large scale product development effort underway to build features into our solutions in preparation for applying in
early 2010 for multiple CCHIT product certifications on 2009 criteria. However, CCHIT requirements may diverge from our software’s
characteristics and our software development direction, and we may choose not to apply for CCHIT certification of certain modules of
our software or to delay applying for certification. The CCHIT application process requires conformity with 100% of all criteria applicable
to each module in order to achieve certification and there is no assurance that we will receive or retain certification for any particular
module notwithstanding application. Certification for a software module lasts for two years and must then be re-secured, and certification
requirements evolve, so even certifications we receive may be lost.
Recognition of certain Interoperability Specifications of the Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel. In January 2008, the
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services recognized certain interoperability specifications of the Healthcare Information
Technology Standards Panel, or HITSP, including electronic health record laboratory results reporting, biosurveillance and consumer
empowerment. As a result, federal agencies will be required to appropriately consider health information technology systems and
products that comply with these interoperability specifications when purchasing, implementing, or upgrading such items.
The creation of the HITSP interoperability specifications has developed faster than the CCHIT criteria and the 2009 CCHIT criteria
include three of the 13 HITSP interoperability specifications. These 13 total HITSP interoperability specifications now have a total of 25
different versions, all with specified criteria to be built into electronic health records such that vendor products can share information
and also share information with organizations in the Federal Health Architecture, such as the Social Security Administration and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Beginning in early 2009, the Social Security Administration expects to receive medical
records for some disability applicants electronically through the Nationwide Health Information Network gateway and to start receiving
electronic health records from MedVirginia, Virginia's Regional Health Information Organization.
Economic stimulus legislation is expected to include support to cover additional healthcare software and related devices that apply all
recognized standards by the Secretary of the Department Health and Human Services of the HITSP interoperability specifications and are
CCHIT-certified. The enhancement of our software to include these specifications will require further research and development
investments in our software.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 or HIPAA,
seeks to impose national health data standards on covered entities. The HIPAA standards prescribe, among other things, transaction
formats and code sets for electronic health transactions, in order to protect individual privacy by limiting the uses and disclosure of
individually identifiable health information. HIPAA also requires covered entities to implement administrative, physical and technological
safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and security of individually identifiable health information in electronic
form.

Table of Contents
We believe that the need for healthcare organizations to become HIPAA compliant and maintain HIPAA compliance will continue to
create demand for software and services such as ours. We follow changes in the HIPAA regulations and adjust the affected software
such that our solutions comply with HIPAA requirements. As we advance into the era of healthcare enterprises exchanging protected
health information, we anticipate having to further enhance our solutions to accommodate new requirements related to privacy and
security, and the exchange of information over secure networks outside of an enterprise.
The Joint Commission. The Joint Commission (formerly known as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations or
JCAHO) is an independent non-profit organization that provides voluntary evaluation and accreditation for more than 15,000 healthcare
organizations in the United States. The Joint Commission periodically introduces new process improvement initiatives, standards and
performance measurements that are used to assess hospitals. The Joint Commission has also established patient safety standards and
each year approves annual National Patient Safety Goals that include specific recommendations for improving patient safety. Most of
our clients seek to comply with The Joint Commission standards, and we believe that our software and services help them in this regard.
In addition, federal tax dollars used to pay for Medicare cannot be used in an organization that is not accredited by The Joint
Commission.
Joint Commission International. The Joint Commission International or JCI, has been working with health care organizations, ministries
of health, and global organizations in over 80 countries since 1994. Over 220 public and private health care organizations in 33 countries
have received JCI accreditation. JCI provides accreditation for hospitals, ambulatory care facilities, clinical laboratories, care continuum
services, medical transport organizations, and primary care services, as well as certification for disease or condition specific care. As
Eclipsys expands in the global healthcare market, we must now monitor for changes needed in the software to meet JCI standards for the
international client base, as well as the Joint Commission Standards for our customer base in the United States.
Canada Health Infoway. Canada Health Infoway collaborates with Canadian federal, provincial, and territorial governments to accelerate
the use of electronic health record systems across Canada. More significant to Eclipsys is Infoway's Standards Collaborative, which
supports and sustains health information standards and fosters collaboration to accelerate the implementation of pan-Canadian
standards based solutions. The role of this Standards Collaborative is similar to the function of HITSP in the United States. Meeting
these Canadian standards for our software will require research and development investments.
The Internet. The Internet enables consumers to be more involved in their healthcare choices, and provides increased availability of
medical information to physicians, clinicians and healthcare workers. As consumers adopt web-centric lifestyles, we believe that
software and services like ours will become more appealing to a wider base of healthcare organizations.

Software
We offer a suite of enterprise solutions that help our clients improve their clinical, financial, and operational outcomes. The underlying
Eclipsys XA architecture and ObjectsPlus/XATM application development technology provide a solid foundation for improved performance
across the enterprise. Among other things, our software is designed to:
• Integrate clinical, financial and access processes throughout the healthcare enterprise for increased quality, cost-efficiency,
revenue, and client satisfaction;
• Reconcile orders related to the patient’s care between departments and units within one healthcare location, as well as between
caregivers across different venues and locations, including ambulatory settings, for improved efficiency and safety during patient
handoffs, admission and discharge;
• Gather patient demographic information and support appropriate resource utilization through integrated scheduling and registration
solutions;
• Improve financial performance through reduced days in accounts receivable, increased cash collections, and inventory control;
• Provide clinicians with access to patient information, evidence-based clinical content and supporting references such as medical
journals, as well as information regarding costs and effects of patient tests and treatments; and
• Permit simultaneous access to real-time patient information by multiple users from access points throughout the clinical
environment and from remote locations.
Our latest-generation clinical and access solutions utilize the same architecture and share the same health data repository, while being adapted
for the workflows of different environments. This enables Eclipsys' clients to tie together their workflows and operations across the entire
continuum of care. Further, we have been committed to building our software on, and re-engineering and migrating existing software to, an
open architecture based on the Microsoft.NET Framework and other industry-standard technologies. We believe this approach allows our
software to be more extensible and easier to integrate with a client’s legacy and ancillary systems, and enables healthcare organizations to
continue to derive value from their existing technology investments, and add other software as functional needs and resources dictate,
including the ability to embed and present evidence-based content.
Our XA-based solutions are designed to prevent the isolation of information and duplication of functionality that can occur with other
information technology systems. We believe that this approach helps to enable a faster, more cost-effective implementation of our software,
simplify software maintenance and provide a lower total cost of ownership.

frequent introduction by our competitors of new and enhanced software. Our principal competitors in our software business include Cerner
Corporation, Epic Systems Corporation, Medical Information Technology, Inc., GE Healthcare, McKesson Corporation, and Siemens AG.
Other software competitors include providers of practice management, general decision support and database systems, as well as segment-
specific applications and healthcare technology consultants. Our services business competes with large consulting firms, as well as
independent providers of technology implementation and other services. Our outsourcing business competes with large national providers of
technology solutions such as IBM Corporation, Computer Sciences Corp., and Perot Systems Corporation, as well as smaller firms. Several of
our existing and potential competitors are better established, benefit from greater name recognition and have significantly more financial,
technical and marketing resources than we do. In addition, some competitors, particularly those with a more diversified revenue base or that
are privately held, may have greater flexibility than we do to compete aggressively on the basis of price. Vigorous and evolving competition
could lead to a loss of our market share or pressure on our prices and could make it more difficult to grow our business profitably.
The principal factors that affect competition within our market include software functionality, performance, flexibility and features, use of open
industry standards, speed and quality of implementation and client service and support, company reputation, price and total cost of
ownership. We anticipate continued consolidation in both the information technology and healthcare industries and large integrated
technology companies may become more active in our markets, both through acquisition and internal investment. There is a finite number of
hospitals and

other healthcare providers in our target market. As costs fall, technology improves, and market factors continue to compel investment by
healthcare organizations in software and services like ours, market saturation may change the competitive landscape in favor of larger
competitors with greater economies of scale.
Employees
As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately 2,800 employees — 2,200 in North America and 600 overseas, primarily in India with a small
number in Asia and in the Middle East. Our success depends significantly on our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled and
qualified personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense in our industry, particularly for software developers, implementation and service
consultants and sales and marketing personnel. We cannot be assured that we will continue to attract and retain qualified personnel. Our
employees are not represented by any labor unions. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

ITEM 1A. RISKFACTORS

Many risks affect our business. These risks include, but are not limited to, those described below, each of which may be relevant to decisions
regarding an investment in or ownership of our stock. We have attempted to organize the description of these risks into logical groupings to
enhance readability, but many of the risks interrelate or could be grouped or ordered in other ways, so no special significance should be
attributed to these groupings or order. The occurrence of any of these risks could have a significant adverse effect on our reputation,
business, financial condition or results of operations.
RISKS RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF OUR SOFTWARE

Our software may not operate properly, which could damage our reputation and impair our sales.
Software development is time consuming, expensive and complex. Unforeseen difficulties can arise. We may encounter technical obstacles and
additional problems that prevent our software from operating properly. Client environments and practice patterns are widely divergent;
consequently, there is significant variability in the configuration of our software from client to client, and we are not able to identify, test for,
and resolve in advance all issues that may be encountered when clients place the system into use at their facilities. If our software contains
errors or does not function consistent with software specifications or client expectations, clients could assert liability claims against us and/or
attempt to cancel their contracts with us. These risks are generally more significant for newer software, until it has been used for enough time
in enough client locations for us to have addressed issues that are discovered through use in disparate circumstances and environments, and
for new installations, until potential issues associated with each new client’s particular environment and configurability are identified and
addressed. Due to our ongoing development efforts, at any point in time, we generally have significant software that could be considered
relatively new and therefore more vulnerable to these risks. It is also possible that future releases of our software, which would typically
include additional features, may be delayed or may require additional work to address issues that may be discovered as the software comes
into use in our client base. If we fail to deliver software with the features and functionality promised to our clients, we could be subject to
significant contractual damages and face serious harm to our reputation, and our results of operations could be negatively impacted.
Our software development efforts may be inefficient or ineffective, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
We face intense competition in the marketplace and are confronted by rapidly changing technology, evolving user needs and the frequent
introduction of new software and enhancements by our competitors to meet the needs of clients. As a result, our future success will depend in
part upon our ability to enhance our existing software and services, and to timely develop and introduce competing new software and services
with features and pricing that meet changing client and market requirements. We schedule and prioritize these development efforts according
to a variety of factors, including our perceptions of market trends, client requirements, and resource availability. Our software is complex and
requires a significant investment of time and resources to develop, test, and introduce into use. This can take longer than we expect. We may
encounter unanticipated difficulties that require us to re-direct or scale-back our efforts and we may need to modify our plans in response to
changes in client requirements, market demands, resource availability, regulatory requirements, or other factors. These factors place significant
demands upon our software development organization, require complex planning and decision making, and can result in acceleration of some
initiatives and delay of others. If we do not manage our development efforts efficiently and effectively, we may fail to produce, or timely
produce, software that responds appropriately to our clients’ needs, or we may fail to meet client expectations regarding new or enhanced
features and functionality.
As we evolve our offering in an attempt to anticipate and meet market demand, clients and potential clients may find our software and services
less appealing. In addition, if software development for the healthcare information technology market becomes significantly more expensive
due to changes in regulatory requirements or healthcare industry practices, or other factors, we may find ourselves at a disadvantage to larger
competitors with more financial resources to devote to development. If we are unable to enhance our existing software or develop new
software to meet changing healthcare information technology market requirements and standards in a timely manner, demand for our software
could suffer.
12
Table of Contents
Market changes could decrease the demand for our software, which could harm our business and decrease our revenues.
The healthcare information technology market is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards and new
software introductions and enhancements that may render existing software obsolete or less competitive. Our position in the market could
erode rapidly due to the development of regulatory or industry standards that our software may not fully meet or due to changes in the
features and functions of competing software, as well as the pricing models for such software. Our future success will depend in part upon our
ability to enhance our existing software and services, and to timely develop and introduce competing new software and services with features
and pricing that meet changing client and market requirements. If our products rapidly become obsolete, it makes it more difficult to recover the
cost of product development, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Our software strategy is dependent on the continued development and support by Microsoft of its .NET Framework and other
technologies.
Our software strategy is substantially dependent upon Microsoft’s .NET Framework and other Microsoft technologies. If Microsoft were to
cease actively supporting .NET or other technologies that we use, fail to update and enhance them to keep pace with changing industry
standards, encounter technical difficulties in the continuing development of these technologies or make them unavailable to us, we could be
required to invest significant resources in re-engineering our software. This could lead to lost or delayed sales, loss of functionality, client
costs associated with platform changes, unanticipated development expenses and harm our reputation, and would cause our financial results
and business to suffer.
Any failure by us to protect our intellectual property, or any misappropriation of it, could enable our competitors to market software with
similar features, which could reduce demand for our software.
We are dependent upon our proprietary information and technology. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate to
prevent misappropriation. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not enable us to protect our proprietary rights in those
jurisdictions. Also, despite the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary rights, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy
aspects of our software, reverse engineer our software or otherwise obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In some limited
instances, clients can access source-code versions of our software, subject to contractual limitations on the permitted use of the source code.
Furthermore, it may be possible for our competitors to copy or gain access to our content. Although our license agreements with clients
attempt to prevent misuse of the source code or trade secrets, the possession of our source code or trade secrets by third parties increases the
ease and likelihood of potential misappropriation of our software. Furthermore, others could independently develop technologies similar or
superior to our technology or design around our proprietary rights.
Failure of security features of our software could expose us to significant liabilities and harm our reputation.
Clients use our systems to store and transmit highly confidential patient health information. Because of the sensitivity of this information,
security features of our software are very important. If, notwithstanding our efforts, our software security features do not function properly, or
client systems using our software are compromised, we could face claims for contract breach, fines, penalties and other liabilities for violation
of applicable laws or regulations, significant costs for remediation and re-engineering to prevent future occurrences, and serious harm to our
reputation.
RISKS RELATED TO SALES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR SOFTWARE

Our sales process can be long and expensive and may not result in revenues. In addition, the length of our sales and implementation cycles
may adversely affect our operating results.
We typically experience long sales and implementation cycles. How and when to implement, replace, expand or substantially modify an
information system, or modify or add business processes, are major decisions for healthcare organizations, our target client market.
Furthermore, our software generally requires significant capital expenditures by our clients. The sales cycle for our software ranges from 6 to
18 months or more from initial contact to contract execution. Our implementation cycle has generally ranged from 6 to 36 months from contract
execution to completion of implementation. During the sales and implementation cycles, we will expend substantial time, effort
13
Table of Contents
and resources preparing contract proposals, negotiating the contract and implementing the software. Our sales efforts may not result in a sale,
in which case, we will not realize any revenues to offset these expenditures. If we do complete a sale, accounting principles may not allow us to
recognize revenues in the same periods in which corresponding sales and implementation expenses were incurred. Additionally, any decision
by our clients to delay purchasing or implementing our software or reduce the scope of products purchased would likely adversely affect our
results of operations.
We may experience implementation delays that could harm our reputation and violate contractual commitments.
Some of our software is complex and requires a lengthy and expensive implementation process. Implementation also requires our clients to
make a substantial commitment of their own time and resources and to make significant organizational and process changes, and if our clients
are unable to fulfill their implementation responsibilities in a timely fashion, our projects may be delayed or become less profitable. Each
client’s situation is different, and unanticipated difficulties and delays may arise as a result of failures by us or the client to meet our respective
implementation responsibilities or other factors. Because of the complexity of the implementation process, delays are sometimes difficult to
attribute solely to us or the client. Implementation delays could motivate clients to delay payments or attempt to cancel their contracts with us
or seek other remedies from us. Any inability or perceived inability to implement our software consistent with a client’s schedule could harm
our reputation and be a competitive disadvantage for us as we pursue new business. Our ability to improve sales depends upon many factors,
including successful and timely completion of implementation and successful use of our software in live environments by clients who are
willing to become reference sites for us.
Implementation costs may exceed our expectations, which can negatively affect our operating results.
Each client’s circumstances may include unforeseen issues that make it more difficult or costly than anticipated to implement our software. As
a result, we may fail to project, price or manage our implementation services correctly. If we do not have sufficient qualified personnel to fulfill
our implementation commitments in a timely fashion, related revenue may be delayed, and if we must supplement our capabilities with third-
party consultants, which are generally more expensive, our costs will increase. Similarly, our operating results will be negatively affected if our
personnel take longer than budgeted to implement our solutions.
Some of our software is complex and highly configurable and many clients value our ability to adapt the software to their specific
needs. However, this high degree of configurability has resulted in significant implementation costs, which have made our offering too
expensive for some clients. Our ability to reach our goals for expansion into smaller clients and in the international market, and to sell to clients
with budgetary constraints, depends upon our ability to develop less costly ways of implementing our most complex software.
Our earnings can vary significantly depending on periodic software revenues.

In any financial reporting period, the periodic software revenues include traditional license fees associated with sales made in the financial
reporting period, as well as revenues from contract backlog that had not previously been recognized pending contract performance that
occurred or was completed during the period, and certain other activities during the period associated with existing client relationships.
Although these periodic software revenues represent a relatively small portion of our overall revenue in any period, they generally have high
margins, and are therefore an important element of our earnings in any period. These periodic revenues can fluctuate because economic
conditions, market factors, client-specific situations, and other issues can result in significant variations in the type and magnitude of sales
and other contract and client activity in any period. These variations make it difficult to predict the nature and amount of these periodic
revenues. We believe economic conditions, and resulting cash conservation by clients, adversely affected our periodic software revenues in
the second half of 2008, and if these conditions and client reactions continue in 2009, or if for other reasons periodic software revenues in any
period decline from prior periods or fall short of our expectations, our earnings will be adversely affected.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (“IT”) OR TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

Various risks could interrupt clients’ access to their data residing in our service center, exposing us to significant costs and other
liabilities.
We provide remote hosting services that involve running our software and third-party vendors’ software for clients in our Technology
Solutions Center. The ability to access the systems and the data that the Technology Solution Center hosts and supports on demand is critical
to our clients. Our operations and facilities are vulnerable to interruption and/or damage from a number of sources, many of which are beyond
our control, including, without limitation: (i) power loss and telecommunications failures; (ii) fire, flood, hurricane and other natural disasters;
(iii) software and hardware errors, failures or crashes; and (iv) computer viruses, hacking and similar disruptive problems. We attempt to
mitigate these risks through various means including redundant infrastructure, disaster recovery plans, separate test systems and change
control and system security measures, but our precautions may not protect against all problems. If clients’ access is interrupted because of
problems in the operation of our facilities, we could be exposed to significant claims by clients or their patients, particularly if the access
interruption is associated with problems in the timely delivery of medical care. We maintain disaster recovery and business continuity plans
that rely upon third-party providers of related services, and if those vendors fail us at a time that our center is not operating correctly, we
could fail to fulfill our contractual service commitments, which could result in a loss of revenue and liability under our client
contracts. Furthermore, any significant instances of system downtime could negatively affect our reputation and ability to sell our remote
hosting services.
Any breach of confidentiality of client or patient data in our possession could expose us to significant expense and harm our reputation.
We must maintain facility and systems security measures to preserve the confidentiality of data belonging to our clients and their patients that
resides on computer equipment in our Technology Solution Center or that is otherwise in our possession. Notwithstanding the efforts we
undertake to protect data, our measures can be vulnerable to infiltration as well as unintentional lapse, and if confidential information is
compromised, we could face claims for contract breach, penalties and other liabilities for violation of applicable laws or regulations, significant
costs for remediation and re-engineering to prevent future occurrences, and serious harm to our reputation.
Recruiting challenges and higher than anticipated costs in outsourcing our clients’ IT operations may adversely affect our profitability.
We provide outsourcing services that involve operating clients’ IT departments using our employees. At the initiation of these relationships,
clients often require us to hire, at substantially the same compensation, the entire IT staff that had been performing the services we take on. In
these circumstances, our costs may be higher than we target unless and until we are able to transition the workforce, methods and systems to
a more scalable model. Various factors can make this transition difficult, including geographic dispersion of client facilities and variation in
client needs, IT environments, and system configurations. Also, under some circumstances, we may incur significant costs as a successor
employer by inheriting obligations of that client for which we may not be indemnified. Further, facilities management contracts require us to
provide the IT services specified by contract, and in some places it can be difficult to recruit qualified IT personnel. Changes in circumstances
or failure to assess the client’s environment and scope our services accurately can mean we must hire more staff than we anticipated in order
to meet our responsibilities. If we have to increase salaries or relocate personnel, or hire more people than we anticipated, our operating results
will be adversely affected.
Inability to obtain consents needed from third party software providers could impair our ability to provide remote IT or technology
services.
We and our clients need consent from some third-party software providers as a condition to running the providers’ software in our service
center, or to allow our employees who work in client locations under facilities management arrangements to have access to their
software. Vendors’ refusal to give such consents, or insistence upon unreasonable conditions to such consents, could reduce our revenue
opportunities and make our IT or technology services less viable for some clients.

RISKS RELATED TO THE HEALTHCARE IT INDUSTRY AND MARKET

We operate in an intensely competitive market that includes companies that have greater financial, technical and marketing resources
than we do.
We face intense competition in the marketplace. We are confronted by rapidly changing technology, evolving user needs and the frequent
introduction by our competitors of new and enhanced software. Our principal competitors in our software business include Cerner
Corporation, Epic Systems Corporation, Medical Information Technology, Inc., GE Healthcare, McKesson Corporation, and Siemens AG.
Other software competitors include providers of practice management, general decision support and database systems, as well as segment-
specific applications and healthcare technology consultants. Our services business competes with large consulting firms, as well as
independent providers of technology implementation and other services. Our outsourcing business competes with large national providers of
technology solutions such as IBM Corporation, Computer Sciences Corp., and Perot Systems Corporation, as well as smaller firms. Several of
our existing and potential competitors are better established, benefit from greater name recognition and have significantly more financial,
technical and marketing resources than we do. In addition, some competitors, particularly those with a more diversified revenue base or that
are privately held, may have greater flexibility than we do to compete aggressively on the basis of price. Vigorous and evolving competition
could lead to a loss of our market share or pressure on our prices and could make it more difficult to grow our business profitably.
The principal factors that affect competition within our market include software functionality, performance, flexibility and features, use of open
industry standards, speed and quality of implementation and client service and support, company reputation, price and total cost of
ownership. We anticipate continued consolidation in both the information technology and healthcare industries and large integrated
technology companies may become more active in our markets, both through acquisition and internal investment. There is a finite number of
hospitals and other healthcare providers in our target market. As costs fall, technology improves, and market factors continue to compel
investment by healthcare organizations in software and services like ours, market saturation may change the competitive landscape in favor of
larger competitors with greater scale.
Clients that use our legacy software are vulnerable to sales efforts of our competitors.
A significant part of our revenue comes from relatively high-margin legacy software that was installed by our clients many years ago. We
attempt to convert clients using legacy software to our newer generation software, but such conversions may require significant investments
of time and resources by clients. As the marketplace becomes more saturated and technology advances, there will be competition to retain
existing clients, particularly those using older generation products, and loss of this business would adversely affect our results of operations.
The healthcare industry faces financial constraints that could adversely affect the demand for our software and services.
The healthcare industry faces significant financial constraints. For example, managed healthcare puts pressure on healthcare organizations to
reduce costs, and regulatory changes and payor requirements have reduced reimbursements to healthcare organizations. For example, the
Inpatient Prospective Payment System rules, published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid in the U.S., identified several “hospital-
acquired conditions” for which treatment will no longer be reimbursed by Medicare. Federal, state and local governments and private payors
are imposing other requirements that may have the effect of reducing payments to healthcare organizations. Our software often involves a
significant financial commitment by our clients. Our ability to grow our business is largely dependent on our clients’ information technology
budgets, which in part depends on the client’s cash generation and access to other sources of liquidity. Recent financial market disruptions
have adversely affected the availability of external financing, and led to tighter lending standards and volatile interest rates. These factors can
reduce access to cash for our clients and potential clients. In addition, many of our clients’ budgets rely in part on investment earnings, which
decrease when portfolio investment values decline. Economic factors are causing many clients to take a conservative approach to
investments, including the purchase of systems like we sell. If healthcare information technology spending declines or increases more slowly
than we anticipate, demand for our software could be adversely affected and our revenue could fall short of our expectations. Challenging
economic conditions also may impair the ability of our clients to pay for our software and services for which they have contacted. As a result,
reserves for doubtful accounts and write-offs of accounts receivable may increase.
16
Table of Contents
Healthcare industry consolidation could put pressure on our software prices, reduce our potential client base and reduce demand for our
software.
Many healthcare organizations have consolidated to create larger healthcare enterprises with greater market power. If this consolidation trend
continues, it could reduce the size of our target market and give the resulting enterprises greater bargaining power, each of which may lead to
erosion of the prices for our software. In addition, when healthcare organizations combine they often consolidate infrastructure including IT
systems, and acquisitions of our clients could erode our revenue base.
Changes in standards applicable to our software could require us to incur substantial additional development costs.
Integration and interoperability of the software and systems provided by various vendors are important issues in the healthcare
industry. Market forces, regulatory authorities and industry organizations are causing the emergence of standards for software features and
performance that are applicable to our products. Healthcare delivery and ultimately the functionality demands of the electronic health record
are now expanding to support community health, public health, public policy and population health initiatives. In addition, interoperability and
health information exchange features that support emerging and enabling technologies are becoming increasingly important to our clients and
require us to undertake large scale product enhancements and redesign.
For example, the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology, or CCHIT, is developing comprehensive sets of criteria for
the functionality, interoperability, and security of healthcare software in the U.S. Achieving CCHIT certification is evolving as a de facto
competitive requirement, resulting in increased research and development expense to conform to these requirements. Similar dynamics are
evolving in international markets. CCHIT requirements may diverge from our software’s characteristics and our development direction. We
may choose not to apply for CCHIT certification of certain modules of our software or to delay applying for certification. The CCHIT
application process requires conformity with 100% of all criteria applicable to each module in order to achieve certification and there is no
assurance that we will receive or retain certification for any particular module notwithstanding application. Certification for a software module
lasts for two years and must then be re-secured, and certification requirements evolve, so even certifications we receive may be lost.
U.S. government initiatives and related industry trends are resulting in comprehensive and evolving standards related to interoperability,
privacy, and other features that are becoming mandatory for systems purchased by governmental healthcare providers and other providers
receiving governmental payments, including Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. Various state and foreign governments are also
developing similar standards which may be different and even more demanding.
Our software does not conform to all of these standards, and conforming to these standards is expected to consume a substantial and
increasing portion of our development resources. If our software is not consistent with emerging standards, our market position and sales
could be impaired and we will have to upgrade our software to remain competitive in the market. We expect compliance with these kinds of
standards to become increasingly important to clients and therefore to our ability to sell our software. If we make the wrong decisions about
compliance with these standards, or are late in conforming our software to these standards, or if despite our efforts our software fails
standards compliance testing, our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY

Our business strategy includes expansion into markets outside North America, which will require increased expenditures and if our
international operations are not successfully implemented, such expansion may cause our operating results and reputation to suffer.
We are working to further expand operations in markets outside North America. There is no assurance that these efforts will be successful. We
have limited experience in marketing, selling, implementing and supporting our software abroad. Expansion of our international sales and
operations will require a significant amount of attention from our management, establishment of service delivery and support capabilities to
handle that business and commensurate financial resources, and will subject us to risks and challenges that we would not face if we
conducted our business only in the United States. We may not generate sufficient revenues from international business to cover these
expenses.
17
Table of Contents
The risks and challenges associated with operations outside the United States may include: the need to modify our software to satisfy local
requirements and standards, including associated expenses and time delays; laws and business practices favoring local competitors;
compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations, including healthcare, employment, tax, privacy,
healthcare information technology, and data and intellectual property protection laws and regulations; laws regulating exports of technology
products from the United States and foreign government restrictions on acquisitions of U.S.-origin products; fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates; difficulties in setting up foreign operations, including recruiting staff and management; and longer accounts receivable
payment cycles and other collection difficulties. One or more of these requirements and risks may preclude us from operating in some markets
and may cause our operating results and reputation to suffer.
Foreign sales subject us to numerous stringent U.S. and foreign laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and comparable
foreign laws and regulations which prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political
parties by U.S. and other business entities for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. As we expand our international operations, there
is some risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors, which could
constitute a violation by Eclipsys of various laws including the FCPA, even though such parties are not always subject to our control.
Safeguards we implement to discourage these practices may prove to be less than effective and violations of the FCPA and other laws may
result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, or other liabilities or proceedings against us, including class action law suits and enforcement
actions from the SEC, Department of Justice and overseas regulators, which could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial
condition or results of operations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATING RESULTS, ACCOUNTING CONTROLS AND FINANCES

Our past stock option practices and related accounting issues have caused costly derivative litigation and may result in additional
litigation, regulatory proceedings and governmental enforcement actions.
As a result of the voluntary review of historical stock option practices we undertook from February to May 2007, we concluded that incorrect
measurement dates were used for accounting for certain prior stock option grants. As a result, we recorded additional non-cash stock-based
compensation expense, and related tax effects, with regard to certain past stock option grants, and we restated certain previously filed financial
statements. In 2008 we settled related stockholder derivative litigation. We believe these restatements reflect appropriate judgments in
determining the correct measurement dates for our stock option grants, and to date those judgments have not been challenged. We believe the
settlement of the derivative suit effectively ends litigation of this matter. However, as with other aspects of our financial statements, the results
of our stock option review are subject to regulatory review and additional claims and there is a risk that we may have to further restate prior
period results or incur additional costs as a result of such a review or proceeding.
We have a history of operating losses and future profitability is not assured.

We experienced operating losses in the years ended December 31, 2003 through 2006. Although we reported operating income for the years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, we may incur losses in the future, and it is not certain that we will sustain or increase our recent
profitability.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly and may cause our stock price to decline.
We have experienced significant variations in revenues and operating results from quarter to quarter. Our operating results may continue to
fluctuate due to a number of factors, including:
• the performance of our software and our ability to promptly and efficiently address software performance shortcomings or warranty
issues;
• the cost, timeliness and outcomes of our software development and implementation efforts, including expansion of our presence in
India;
• the timing, size and complexity of our software sales and implementations;
• healthcare industry conditions and the overall demand for healthcare information technology;
• variations in periodic software license revenues;
• the financial condition of our clients and potential clients;
18
Table of Contents
• market acceptance of new services, software and software enhancements introduced by us or our competitors;
• client decisions regarding renewal or termination of their contracts;
• software and price competition;
• investment required to support our international expansion efforts;
• personnel changes and other organizational changes and related expenses;
• significant judgments and estimates made by management in the application of generally accepted accounting principles;
• healthcare reform measures and healthcare regulation in general;
• lower investment returns due to recent disruptions in U.S. and international financial markets; and
• fluctuations in general economic and financial market conditions, including interest rates.
It is difficult to predict the timing of revenues that we receive from software sales, because the sales cycle can vary depending upon several
factors. These include the size and terms of the transaction, the changing business plans of the client, the effectiveness of the client’s
management, general economic conditions and the regulatory environment. In addition, the timing of our revenue recognition could vary
considerably depending upon whether our clients license our software under our subscription model or our traditional licensing arrangements,
and current economic conditions are motivating some clients to prefer subscription contracting to traditional licenses, which can result in
commensurate decreases in, or failure to achieve our expectations for, in-period license revenue and associated margin. Because a significant
percentage of our expenses are relatively fixed, a variation in the timing of sales and implementations could cause significant variations in
operating results from quarter to quarter. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our historical results of operations are not
necessarily meaningful. Investors should not rely on these comparisons as indicators of future performance.
In addition, prices for our common stock may be influenced by investor perception of us and our industry in general, research analyst
recommendations, and our ability to meet or exceed quarterly performance expectations of investors or analysts.
Early termination of client contracts or contract penalties could adversely affect results of operations.
Client contracts can change or terminate early for a variety of reasons. Change of control, financial issues, declining general economic
conditions or other changes in client circumstances may cause us or the client to seek to modify or terminate a contract. Further, either we or
the client may generally terminate a contract for material uncured breach by the other. If we breach a contract or fail to perform in accordance
with contractual service levels, we may be required to refund money previously paid to us by the client, or to pay penalties or other
damages. Even if we have not breached, we may deal with various situations from time to time for the reasons described above which may
result in the amendment or termination of a contract. These steps can result in significant current period charges and/or reductions in current
or future revenue.
Because in many cases we recognize revenues for our software monthly over the term of a client contract, downturns or upturns in sales
will not be fully reflected in our operating results until future periods.
We recognize a significant portion of our revenues from clients monthly over the terms of their agreements, which are typically 5-7 years and
can be up to 10 years. As a result, much of the revenue that we report each quarter is attributable to agreements executed during prior quarters.
Consequently, a decline in sales, client renewals, or market acceptance of our software in one quarter may negatively affect our revenues and
profitability in future quarters. In addition, we may be unable to rapidly adjust our cost structure to compensate for reduced revenues. This
monthly revenue recognition also makes it more difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenues through additional sales in any period, as a
significant portion of revenues from new clients or new sales may be recognized over the applicable agreement term.
19
Table of Contents
Loss of revenue from large clients could have significant negative impact on our results of operations and overall financial condition.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, approximately 40% of our revenues were attributable to our 20 largest clients. In addition,
approximately 39% of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2008 were attributable to 20 clients. One client represented 10.7% of our
revenues. Loss of revenue from significant clients or failure to collect accounts receivable, whether as a result of client payment default,
contract termination, or other factors could have a significant negative impact on our results of operation and overall financial condition.
Impairment of intangible assets could increase our expenses.

A significant portion of our assets consists of intangible assets, including capitalized development costs, goodwill and other intangibles
acquired in connection with acquisitions. Current accounting standards require us to evaluate goodwill on an annual basis and other
intangibles if certain triggering events occur, and adjust the carrying value of these assets to net realizable value when such testing reveals
impairment of the assets. Various factors, including regulatory or competitive changes, could affect the value of our intangible assets. If we are
required to write-down the value of our intangible assets due to impairment, our reported expenses will increase, resulting in a corresponding
decrease in our reported profit.
Failure to maintain effective internal controls could adversely affect our operating results and the market price of our common stock.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we maintain internal control over financial reporting that meets applicable
standards. If we are unable, or are perceived as unable, to produce reliable financial reports due to internal control deficiencies, investors could
lose confidence in our reported financial information and operating results, which could result in a negative market reaction.
Funds invested in auction rate securities may not be liquid or accessible for in excess of 12 months, and our auction rate securities may
experience further fair value adjustments or other-than-temporary declines in value, which would adversely affect our financial condition,
cash flow and reported earnings.
Our investment portfolio is primarily invested in auction rate securities, or ARS. Beginning in February 2008, negative conditions in the credit
and capital markets resulted in failed auctions of our ARS. The ratings on some of the ARS in our portfolio have been downgraded, and there
can be no assurances that there will be no further rating downgrades. As of December 31, 2008, we recorded changes in fair value of these
securities of $8.8 million in accumulated other comprehensive income and $3.9 million as a charge to earnings. See Note D – “Investments” in
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. If uncertainties in the credit and capital markets continue, these
markets deteriorate further or we experience further rating downgrades on any investments in our portfolio, funds associated with these
securities may not be liquid or available to fund current operations for in excess of 12 months. This could result in further fair value
adjustments or other-than-temporary impairments in the carrying value of our investments, which could negatively affect our financial
condition, cash flow and reported earnings.
Our commercial credit facility subjects us to operating restrictions and risks of default.
On August 26, 2008, we entered into a credit agreement with certain lenders and Wachovia Bank, as Administrative Agent, providing for a
senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $125 million. This credit facility is subject to certain financial ratio
and other covenants that could restrict our ability to conduct business as we might otherwise deem to be in our best interests, and breach of
these covenants could cause the debt to become immediately due. In such an event, our liquid assets might not be sufficient to repay in full
the debt outstanding under the credit facility. Such an acceleration also would expose us to the risk of liquidation of collateral assets at
unfavorable prices.
The conditions of the U.S. and international financial markets may adversely affect our ability to draw on our credit facility.
The U.S. and international credit markets contracted significantly during the second half of 2008. If one or more of the financial institutions
that have extended credit commitments to us under our credit facility are adversely affected by the conditions of the U.S. and international
capital markets, they may become unwilling or unable to fund
20

borrowings under their credit commitments to us. In such a case we might not be able to locate replacement lenders or other sources of
financing, which could have a material and adverse impact on our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, research
and development and other corporate needs.
Inability to obtain other financing could limit our ability to conduct necessary development activities and make strategic investments.
Although we believe at this time that our available cash and cash equivalents and the cash we anticipate generating from operations will be
adequate to meet our foreseeable needs, we could incur significant expenses or shortfalls in anticipated cash generated as a result of
unanticipated events in our business or competitive, regulatory, or other changes in our market. As a result, we may in the future need to
obtain other financing. The availability of such financing is limited by the tightening of the global credit markets. In addition, the commitment
under our credit facility expires on August 26, 2011. Our ability to renew such credit facility or to enter into a new credit facility to replace the
existing facility could be impaired if current market conditions continue or worsen. In addition, if credit is available, lenders may seek more
restrictive lending provisions and higher interest rates that may reduce our borrowing capacity and increase our costs, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business.
If other financing is not available on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to respond adequately to these changes or maintain our
business, which could adversely affect our operating results and the market price of our common stock. Alternatively, we may be forced to
obtain additional financing by selling equity, and this could be dilutive to our existing stockholders.
RISKS OF LIABILITY TO THIRD PARTIES

Our software and content are used by clinicians in the course of treating patients. If our software fails to provide accurate and timely
information or is associated with faulty clinical decisions or treatment, clients, clinicians or their patients could assert claims against us
that could result in substantial cost to us, harm our reputation in the industry and cause demand for our software to decline.
We provide software and content that provides information and tools for use in clinical decision-making, provides access to patient medical
histories and assists in creating patient treatment plans. If our software fails to provide accurate and timely information, or if our content or
any other element of our software is associated with faulty clinical decisions or treatment, we could have liability to clients, clinicians or their
patients. The assertion of such claims, whether or not valid, and ensuing litigation, regardless of its outcome, could result in substantial cost
to us, divert management’s attention from operations and decrease market acceptance of our software. We attempt to limit by contract our
liability for damages and to require that our clients assume responsibility for medical care and approve all system rules and protocols. Despite
these precautions, the allocations of responsibility and limitations of liability set forth in our contracts may not be enforceable, may not be
binding upon our client’s patients, or may not otherwise protect us from liability for damages. We maintain general liability and errors and
omissions insurance coverage, but this coverage may not continue to be available on acceptable terms or may not be available in sufficient
amounts to cover one or more large claims against us. In addition, the insurer might disclaim coverage as to any future claim. One or more large
claims could exceed our available insurance coverage.
Complex software such as ours may contain errors or failures that are not detected until after the software is introduced or updates and new
versions are released. It is challenging for us to envision and test our software for all potential problems because it is difficult to simulate the
wide variety of computing environments, medical circumstances or treatment methodologies that our clients may deploy or rely upon. Despite
extensive testing by us and clients, from time to time we have discovered defects or errors in our software, and additional defects or errors can
be expected to appear in the future. Defects and errors that are not timely detected and remedied could expose us to risk of liability to clients,
clinicians and their patients and cause delays in software introductions and shipments, result in increased costs and diversion of development
resources, require design modifications or decrease market acceptance or client satisfaction with our software.
21
Table of Contents
Our software and software provided by third parties that we include in our offering could infringe third-party intellectual property rights,
exposing us to costs that could be significant.
Infringement or invalidity claims or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims could be asserted or prosecuted against us
based upon design or use of software we provide to clients, including software we develop as well as software provided to us by third parties.
Regardless of the validity of any claims, defending against these claims could result in significant costs and diversion of our resources, and
vendor indemnity might not be available. The assertion of infringement claims could result in injunctions preventing us from distributing our
software, or require us to obtain a license to the disputed intellectual property rights, which might not be available on reasonable terms or at
all. We might also be required to indemnify our clients at significant expense.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS AND INITIATIVES

We depend on licenses from third parties for rights to some of the technology we use, and if we are unable to continue these relationships
and maintain our rights to this technology, our business could suffer.
We depend upon licenses for some of the technology used in our software from a number of third-party vendors. Most of these licenses
expire within one to five years, can be renewed only by mutual consent and may be terminated if we breach the terms of the license and fail to
cure the breach within a specified period of time. We may not be able to continue using the technology made available to us under these
licenses on commercially reasonable terms or at all. As a result, we may have to discontinue, delay or reduce software sales until we obtain
equivalent technology, which could hurt our business. Most of our third-party licenses are non-exclusive. Our competitors may obtain the
right to use any of the technology covered by these licenses and use the technology to compete directly with us. In addition, if our vendors
choose to discontinue support of the licensed technology in the future or are unsuccessful in their continued research and development
efforts, particularly with regard to Microsoft, we may not be able to modify or adapt our own software.
Our software offering often includes modules provided by third parties, and if these third parties do not meet their commitments, our
relationships with our clients could be impaired.
Some of the software modules we offer to clients are provided by third parties. We often rely upon these third parties to produce software that
meets our clients’ needs and to implement and maintain that software. If these third parties are unable or unwilling to fulfill their
responsibilities, our relationships with affected clients could be impaired, and we could be responsible to clients for the failures. We might not
be able to recover from these third parties for any or all of the costs we incur as a result of their failures.
Any acquisitions we undertake may be disruptive to our business and could have an adverse effect on our future operations and the
market price of our common stock.
An important element of our business strategy has been expansion through acquisitions and while there is no assurance that we will identify
and complete any future acquisitions, any acquisitions would involve a number of risks, including the following:
• The anticipated benefits from the acquisition may not be achieved, including as a result of loss of customers or personnel of the
target.
• The identification, acquisition and integration of acquired businesses require substantial attention from management. The diversion
of management’s attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could hurt our business.
• The identification, acquisition and integration of acquired businesses requires significant investment, including to harmonize
product and service offerings, expand management capabilities and market presence, and improve or increase development efforts
and software features and functions.
• In future acquisitions, we could issue additional shares of our common stock, incur additional indebtedness or pay consideration in
excess of book value, which could dilute future earnings.
• Acquisitions also expose us to the risk of assumed known and unknown liabilities.
• New business acquisitions generate significant intangible assets that result in substantial related amortization charges to us and
possible impairments.

RISKS RELATED TO INDUSTRY REGULATION

Potential regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of our software and content as medical devices could impose increased
costs, delay the introduction of new software and hurt our business.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, may become increasingly active in regulating computer software or content intended for use
in the healthcare setting. The FDA has increasingly focused on the regulation of computer software and computer-assisted products as
medical devices under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or the FDC Act. If the FDA chooses to regulate any of our software, or third party
software that we resell, as medical devices, it could impose extensive requirements upon us, including requiring us to:
• seek FDA clearance of pre-market notification submission demonstrating substantial equivalence to a device already legally
marketed, or to obtain FDA approval of a pre-market approval application establishing the safety and effectiveness of the software;
• comply with rigorous regulations governing the pre-clinical and clinical testing, manufacture, distribution, labeling and promotion
of medical devices; and/or
• comply with the FDC Act regarding general controls, including establishment registration, device listing, compliance with good
manufacturing practices, reporting of specified device malfunctions and adverse device events.
If we fail to comply with applicable requirements, the FDA could respond by imposing fines, injunctions or civil penalties, requiring recalls or
software corrections, suspending production, refusing to grant pre-market clearance or approval of software, withdrawing clearances and
approvals, and initiating criminal prosecution. Any FDA policy governing computer products or content may increase the cost and time to
market of new or existing software or may prevent us from marketing our software.
Changes in federal and state regulations relating to patient data could depress the demand for our software and impose significant
software redesign costs on us.
Clients use our systems to store and transmit highly confidential patient health information and data. State and federal laws and regulations
and their foreign equivalents govern the collection, security, use, transmission and other disclosures of health information. These laws and
regulations may change rapidly and may be unclear, or difficult or costly to apply.
Federal regulations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, and related laws and regulations,
impose national health data standards on healthcare providers that conduct electronic health transactions, healthcare clearinghouses that
convert health data between HIPAA-compliant and non-compliant formats, and health plans and entities providing certain services to these
organizations. These standards require, among other things, transaction formats and code sets for electronic health transactions; protect
individual privacy by limiting the uses and disclosures of individually identifiable health information; and require covered entities to implement
administrative, physical and technological safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and security of individually
identifiable health information in electronic form. Most of our clients are covered by these regulations and require that our software and
services adhere to HIPAA standards, and evolving privacy regulations are expected to apply to us directly. Any failure or perception of failure
of our software or services to meet HIPAA standards and related regulations could adversely affect demand for our software and services and
force us to expend significant capital, research and development and other resources to modify our software or services to address the privacy
and security requirements of our clients.
States and foreign jurisdictions in which we or our clients operate have adopted, or may adopt, privacy standards that are similar to or more
stringent than the federal HIPAA privacy standards. This may lead to different restrictions for handling individually identifiable health
information. As a result, our clients may demand, and we may be required to provide information technology solutions and services that are
adaptable to reflect different and changing regulatory requirements which could increase our development costs. In the future, federal, state or
foreign governmental or regulatory authorities or industry bodies may impose new data security standards or additional restrictions on the
collection, use, transmission and other disclosures of health information. We cannot predict the potential impact that these future rules may
have on our business. However, the demand for our software and services may decrease if we are not able to develop and offer software and
services that can address the regulatory challenges and compliance obligations facing us and our clients.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR PERSONNEL AND ORGANIZATION

Our growing operations in India expose us to risks that could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
We now have a significant workforce employed in India engaged in a broad range of development, support and corporate infrastructure
activities that are integral to our business and critical to our profitability. This involves significant challenges that are increased by our lack of
prior experience managing operations in India. Further, while there are certain cost advantages to operating in India, significant growth in the
technology sector in India has increased competition to attract and retain skilled employees with commensurate increases in compensation
costs. In the future, we may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with our existing compensation
and salary structure. Many of the companies with which we compete for hiring experienced employees have greater resources than we have
and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In addition, our operations in India require ongoing capital investments and
expose us to foreign currency fluctuations, which may significantly reduce or negate any cost benefit anticipated from such expansion.
In addition, our reliance on a workforce in India exposes us to disruptions in the business, political and economic environment in that region.
Maintenance of a stable political environment is important to our operations, and terrorist attacks and acts of violence or war may directly
affect our physical facilities and workforce or contribute to general instability. Our operations in India may also be affected by trade
restrictions, such as tariffs or other trade controls, as well as other factors that may adversely affect our business and operating results.
If we fail to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified technical, marketing, sales and management personnel, our ability to execute our
business strategy could be impaired.
Our success depends, in significant part, upon the continued services of our key technical, marketing, sales and management personnel, and
on our ability to continue to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified employees. Competition for these employees is intense and we
maintain at-will employment terms with our employees. In addition, the process of recruiting personnel with the combination of skills and
attributes required to execute our business strategy can be difficult, time-consuming and expensive. We believe that our ability to implement
our strategic goals depends to a considerable degree on our senior management team. The loss of any member of that team could hurt our
business.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR EQUITY STRUCTURE

Provisions of our charter documents and Delaware law may inhibit potential acquisition bids that stockholders may believe are desirable,
and the market price of our common stock may be lower as a result.
Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors can fix the price, rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The issuance of shares
of preferred stock may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition of our company. The issuance of preferred stock may result in the
loss of voting control to other stockholders. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock and we terminated, effective as
of May 8, 2008, our stockholder rights agreement, which used preferred stock purchase rights designed to enable our board of directors to
better respond to any takeover efforts. However, we could implement a new stockholder rights plan in the future, or make other uses of
preferred stock to inhibit a potential acquisition of the company.
Our charter documents contain additional anti-takeover devices, including:

• only one of the three classes of directors is elected each year;
• the ability of our stockholders to remove directors without cause is limited;
• the right of stockholders to act by written consent has been eliminated;
• the right of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders has been eliminated; and
• advance notice must be given to nominate directors or submit proposals for consideration at stockholders meetings.
We are also subject to provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which prohibits us from engaging in any business
combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years from
24
Table of Contents
the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless certain conditions are met. These provisions make it more difficult for
stockholders or potential acquirers to acquire us without negotiation and may apply even if some of our stockholders consider the proposed
transaction beneficial to them. For example, these provisions might discourage a potential acquisition proposal or tender offer, even if the
acquisition proposal or tender offer is at a premium over the then current market price for our common stock. These provisions could also limit
the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
About the Company
Eclipsys is a leading provider of advanced integrated clinical, revenue cycle and performance management software, and professional services
that help healthcare organizations improve clinical, financial, and operational outcomes. We develop and license proprietary software and
content that is designed for use in connection with many of the key clinical, financial and operational functions that healthcare organizations
require. Among other things, our software:
• enables physicians, nurses and other clinicians to coordinate care through shared electronic medical records, place orders and
access and share information about patients;
• helps our clients optimize the healthcare revenue cycle, including patient admissions, scheduling, invoicing, inventory control and
cost accounting;
• supports clinical and financial planning and analysis; and
• provides information for use by physicians, nurses and other clinicians through clinical content, which is integrated with our
software.
We also provide professional services related to our software. These services include software implementation and maintenance, outsourcing,
remote hosting of our software, as well as third-party healthcare information technology applications, technical and user training and
consulting.
With the exception of hardware revenues, we classify our revenues in one caption (systems and services) in our statement of operations since
the amount of license revenue related to traditional software contracts is less than 10% of total revenues and the remaining revenue types
included in this caption relate to bundled subscription arrangements and other services arrangements that have similar attribution patterns for
revenue recognition. Our income statement items of revenue are as follows:
• Systems and services revenues include revenues derived from a variety of sources, including software licenses and contractual
software maintenance, and professional services, which include implementation, training and consulting services. Our systems and
services revenues include both “subscription” software license revenues and software maintenance revenues (which are like
recognized ratably over the contractual term) and license revenues related to “traditional” software contracts (which are generally
recognized upon delivery of the software and represents less than 10% of total revenues). For some clients, we host the software
applications licensed from us remotely on our own servers, which saves such clients the cost of procuring and maintaining
hardware and related facilities. For other clients, we offer an outsourced solution in which we assume partial to total responsibility
for a healthcare organization’s information technology operations using our employees. Margins on the license and maintenance
revenue are generally significantly higher than those on the professional services revenues.
• Hardware revenues result from our sale of computer hardware to our clients in connection with their implementation of our
software. We purchase this hardware from suppliers and resell it to our clients. As clients elect more remote-hosted solutions,
clients’ need for hardware is reduced and future hardware revenues may be negatively impacted. The amount of hardware
revenues, and the proportion of our total revenues that they represent, can vary significantly from period to period. Margins on
hardware revenues are generally significantly lower than those on systems and services revenues.
We market our software to healthcare providers of many different sizes and specialties, including community hospitals, large multi-entity
healthcare systems, academic medical centers, outpatient clinics and physician practices. Most of the top-ranked U.S. hospitals named in U.S.
News & World Report’s Honor Roll use one or more of our solutions.

America, such as the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East. As of December 2008, our India operations have expanded to include two
offices and approximately 600 employees. We believe that India provides access to educated professionals to work on software research,
development and support, as well as other functions, at an economically effective cost, and also represents a potential new market for our
software.
In 2008, Eclipsys acquired Enterprise Performance Systems, Inc. (“EPSi”), MediNotes Corporation (“MediNotes”), and Premise Corporation
(“Premise”). Each of these companies added strategic new products that are expected to help improve our competitive position and also drive
additional revenue growth.
• In February 2008, we acquired EPSi, a provider of business performance improvement solutions that help healthcare executives
better manage the business of healthcare by providing actionable financial management and decision support data from all
functional areas, which include budgeting/planning, cost accounting, patient and financial/clinical analysis.
• In October 2008, we acquired MediNotes, an industry leader in physician practice information solutions. This addition helps us
more effectively support healthcare enterprises’ community strategies, to better coordinate care between clinicians and patients,
and puts us in one of the fastest growing markets in healthcare, practice management and electronic medical records.
• In December 2008, we acquired Premise, expanding our portfolio of solutions that help our clients improve operational performance,
which also includes EPSi software and our growing portfolio of analytics solutions. This acquisition expands our range of solutions
to help our clients improve operational performance. Premise’s software solutions and services for bed management, bed turnover,
and transport help optimize patient flow, streamline communications, and enhance operational efficiency.
Business Environment
Our industry, healthcare information technology, is highly competitive and subject to numerous government regulations and industry
standards. Sales of Eclipsys’ solutions can be affected significantly by many competitive factors, including the features and cost of our
solutions as compared to the offerings of our competitors, our marketing effectiveness, and the success of our research and development of
new and enhanced solutions. We anticipate that the healthcare information technology industry will continue to grow and be seen as a way to
curb growing healthcare costs while also improving the quality of healthcare.
New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note B to our consolidated financial statements for a description of new accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Policies

We believe there are several accounting policies that are critical to the understanding of our historical and future performance as these policies
affect the reported amount of revenues and expenses and other significant areas and involve management’s most difficult, subjective or
complex judgments and estimates. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates and adjusts its estimates and judgments, if necessary. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingencies. Due to the
inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be materially different from those estimates.
These critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalized software development costs,
stock based compensation and income taxes. Please refer to Note B of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of
our significant accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are derived from licensing of computer software; software and hardware maintenance; professional services (including
implementation, integration, training and consulting); remote hosting; outsourcing; network services; and the sale of computer hardware.
30
Table of Contents
We generally contract under multiple element arrangements, which include software license fees, hardware and services, including
implementation, integration, training and software maintenance, for periods of 3 to 7 years. We evaluate revenue recognition on a contract-by-
contract basis as the terms of each arrangement vary. The evaluation of our contractual arrangements often requires judgments and estimates
that affect the timing of revenue recognized in our statements of operations. Specifically, we may be required to make judgments about:
• whether the fees associated with our software and services are fixed or determinable;
• whether collection of our fees is considered probable;
• whether professional services are essential to the functionality of the related software;
• whether we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates in the application of the percentage-of-completion method;
and
• whether we have verifiable objective evidence of fair value for our software and services.
We recognize revenues in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition,” as
amended by SOP 98-9, Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 “Revenue Recognition,” and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-21
“Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” SOP 97-2 and SAB 104, as amended, require among other matters, that there be a signed
contract evidencing an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable, and remaining
obligations under the agreement are insignificant.
Many of our contracts with our clients are multiple element arrangements that provide for multiple software modules including the rights to
unspecified future versions and releases we may offer within the software suites the client purchases or rights to unspecified software
versions that support different hardware or operating platforms, and that do not qualify as exchange rights. We refer to these arrangements as
subscription contracts. Additionally, we sometimes enter into multiple element arrangements that do not include these rights to unspecified
future software or platform protection rights. We refer to these arrangements as traditional software contracts. Finally, we offer much of our
software and services on a stand-alone basis. Revenue under each of these arrangements is recognized as set forth below:
Subscription Contracts
Our subscription contracts typically include the following elements:
• Software license;
• Maintenance;
• Professional services; and
• Third party hardware or remote hosting services.
Software license fees are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, commencing upon the delivery of the software provided that
(1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) the fee is fixed or determinable and (3) collection of our fee is considered probable. The value of the
software is determined using the residual method pursuant to SOP 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, With Respect to Certain Transactions.”
These contracts contain the rights to unspecified future software within the suite purchased and/or unspecified platform transfer rights that
do not qualify for exchange accounting. Accordingly, these arrangements are accounted for pursuant to paragraphs 48 and 49 of SOP 97-2
“Software Revenue Recognition.” Under certain arrangements, we capitalize related direct costs consisting of third party software costs and
direct software implementation costs. These costs are amortized over the term of the arrangement.
In the case of maintenance revenues, vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value is based on substantive renewal prices, and
the revenues are recognized ratably over the maintenance period.
In the case of professional services revenues, VSOE is based on prices from stand-alone sale transactions, and the revenues are recognized as
services are performed pursuant to paragraph 65 of SOP 97-2.
Third party hardware revenues are recognized upon delivery, pursuant to SAB 104.
31
Table of Contents
For remote hosting services, VSOE is based upon consistent pricing charged to clients based on volumes and performance requirements on a
stand-alone basis and substantive renewal terms, and the revenues are recognized ratably over the contract term as the services are performed.
Our remote hosting arrangements generally require us to perform one-time set-up activities and include a one-time set-up fee. This one-time
set-up fee is generally paid by the client at contract execution. We have determined that these set-up activities do not constitute a separate
unit of accounting, and accordingly the related set-up fees are recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
We consider the applicability of EITF 00-3, “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use
Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware,” to our remote hosting services arrangements on a contract-by-contract basis. If we determine
that the client has the contractual right to take possession of our software at any time during the hosting period without significant penalty,
and can feasibly run the software on its own hardware or enter into another arrangement with a third party to host the software, a software
element covered by SOP 97-2 exists. When a software element exists in a remote hosting services arrangement, we recognize the license,
professional services and remote hosting services revenues pursuant to SOP 97-2, whereby the fair value of the remote hosting service is
recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the remote hosting contract. If we determine that a software element covered by SOP 97-2 is not
present in a remote hosting services arrangement, we recognize revenue for the remote hosting services arrangement, ratably over the term of
the remote hosting contract pursuant to SAB 104.
Traditional Software Contracts

We enter into traditional multiple-element arrangements that can include the following elements:
• Maintenance;
Revenue for each of the elements is recognized as follows:
Software license fees are recognized upon delivery of the software provided that (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) the fee is fixed or
determinable and (3) collection of our fee is considered probable. For those arrangements in which the fee is not considered fixed or
determinable, the software license revenue is recognized as the payments become due. For arrangements where VSOE only exists for the
undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements (software license revenue) using the residual method in accordance with SOP 98-
9.
In addition to the software license fees, these contracts may also contain maintenance, professional services and hardware or remote hosting
services. VSOE and revenue recognition for these elements is determined using the same methodology as noted above for subscription
contracts.
Software Contracts Requiring Contract Accounting

We enter into certain multiple element arrangements containing milestone provisions in which the professional services are considered
essential to the functionality of the software. Under these arrangements, software license fees and professional service revenues are
recognized using the percentage-of-completion method over the implementation period which generally ranges from 12 to 36 months. Under
the percentage-of-completion method, revenue and profit are recognized throughout the term of the implementation based upon estimates of
total labor hours incurred and revenues to be generated over the term of the implementation. Changes in estimates of total labor hours and the
related effect on the timing of revenues and profits are recognized in the period in which they are determinable. Accordingly, changes in these
estimates could occur and have a material effect on our operating results in the period of change.
Stand-Alone Software and Service

We also market certain software and services on a stand-alone basis, including the following:
32
Table of Contents
• Maintenance;
• Professional services;
• Hardware;
• Outsourcing; and
• Remote Hosting services.
Revenues related to such software and services are recognized as follows:
Software license fees and maintenance marketed on a stand-alone basis may be licensed either under traditional contracts or under
subscription arrangements. Software license fees under traditional contracts are recognized pursuant to SOP 97-2 upon delivery of the
software, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Under subscription
agreements for stand-alone software, license fees are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. With respect to maintenance, VSOE is
determined based on substantive renewal prices contained in the contracts. Maintenance is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
Professional services represent incremental services marketed to clients including implementation, consulting, and training services.
Professional services revenues, where VSOE is based on prices from stand-alone transactions, are recognized as services are performed.
Hardware is recognized upon delivery pursuant to SAB 104.
Network service arrangements include the assessment, assembly and delivery of a wireless network which may include wireless carts or other
wireless equipment to the client. Our network services arrangements are sold to a client for a fixed fee. All services are performed prior to the
delivery of the equipment. These contracts are typically 60 to 90 days in length and are recognized pursuant to SAB 104, upon the delivery of
the network to the client. We exited the network services business in 2007.
Remote hosting contracts that are sold on a stand-alone basis are recognized ratably over the contract term pursuant to SAB 104. Our remote
hosting arrangements generally require us to perform one-time set-up activities and include a one-time set-up fee. This one-time set-up fee is
generally paid by the client at contract execution. We have determined that these set-up activities do not constitute a separate unit of
accounting, and accordingly, recognize the related set-up fees ratably over the term of the contract.
We provide outsourcing services to our clients. Under these arrangements we assume full, partial or transitional responsibilities for a
healthcare organization’s IT operations using our employees. Our outsourcing services include facilities management, network outsourcing
and transition management. These arrangements typically range from five to ten years in duration. Revenues from these arrangements are
recognized when services are performed.
We record reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses in both systems and services revenues and as a direct cost of systems and services in
accordance with EITF 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred.” For
2008, 2007, and 2006 reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses were $11.7 million, $11.6 million, and $9.0 million, respectively.
In accordance with EITF 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees,” we have classified the reimbursement by clients of shipping
and handling costs as revenue and the associated cost as cost of revenue.
If other judgments or assumptions were used in the evaluation of our revenue arrangements, the timing and amounts of revenue recognized
may have been significantly different.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

In evaluating the collectability of our accounts receivable, we assess a number of factors, including a specific client’s ability to meet its
financial obligations to us, as well as general factors such as the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection
experience. Based on these assessments, we record a reserve for specific account balances as well as a reserve based on our historical
experience for bad debt to reduce the related receivables to the amount we ultimately expect to collect from clients. If circumstances related to
specific clients change, or economic conditions deteriorate such that our past collection experience is no longer relevant, our estimate of the
recoverability of our accounts receivable could be further reduced from the levels provided for in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

We capitalize a portion of our computer software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility. These
costs include salaries, benefits, consulting and other directly related costs incurred in connection with programming and testing software.
Capitalization ceases when the software is generally released for sale to clients. Management monitors the net realizable value of development
costs to ensure that the investment will be recovered through future revenues. Capitalized software development costs were $18.2 million,
$20.9 million, and $14.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. These costs are amortized over the greater
of (i) the ratio of current revenues to total and anticipated future revenues for the applicable software or (ii) the straight-line method over three
years. During 2008, 2007, 2006 all of our capitalized software costs were amortized over a three year period. Amortization of capitalized software
development costs, which is included in cost of systems and services, was $18.7 million, $15.0 million, and $17.5 million for the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Accumulated amortization of capitalized software development costs was $32.4 million and
$23.8 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment,” as adopted effective January 1, 2006. We elected to adopt SFAS 123(R) using the modified
prospective method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized during the year ended December 31, 2008, includes: (a) compensation
cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 amortized over the awards’ vesting period, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based
payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
123(R) amortized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with weighted average assumptions for the activity under our stock plans. Option pricing model input
assumptions such as expected term, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate, impact the fair value estimate. Further, the forfeiture rate
impacts the amount of aggregate compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to
develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions were based on or determined from external data (for example, the risk free
interest rate) and other assumptions were derived from our historical experience (for example volatility). The appropriate weight to place on
historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.
We have elected to use the simplified method for estimating our expected term equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the
contractual term as allowed by SAB 107, “Share-Based Payment.” Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, “Year-End Help for Expensing Employee
Stock Options,” for options granted after December 31, 2007 requires the use of historical data to estimate an expected term unless the
company significantly changes the terms of its share-option grants. The grants the Company issued after December 31, 2007 have a
contractual term of 7 years, which differs from the contractual term of the historical grants (generally 10 years). Therefore, we do not have
sufficient historical data to estimate the expected term for current option issuances. Accordingly, we continue to use the simplified method.
Additionally, this reduction in contractual term has lowered our assumption of our expected term.
We currently estimate volatility by using the weighted average historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free interest rate is the
implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term input to the Black-
Scholes model. We estimate forfeitures using a weighted average historical forfeiture rate. Our estimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the
requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from our estimate.

Income Taxes
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any
valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. A change in these estimates could have a material effect on our operating
results. We estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process requires us to estimate our actual current
tax exposure, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These
differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability taking into consideration such factors as historical losses, projected
future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. SFAS 109 requires the Company to record a
valuation allowance when it is “more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.” It further states that
“forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent
years.” Since inception, the Company has maintained a 100% valuation allowance equal to the deferred U.S. tax assets after considering the
U.S. deferred tax assets that can be realized through offsets to existing taxable temporary differences.
Based upon the Company’s results of operations in recent years, and its expected profitability in this and future years, the Company has
concluded, effective September 30, 2008, that it is more likely than not that substantially all of its net U.S. deferred tax assets will be realized.
As a result, in accordance with SFAS 109, substantially all of the valuation allowance applied to such net deferred tax assets was reversed in
2008. Reversal of the valuation allowance resulted in a non-cash income tax benefit in 2008 totaling $86.9 million.
As of December 31, 2008, a valuation allowance of approximately $0.2 million has been established against the U.S. state and Canada deferred
tax assets that management does not believe are more likely than not to be realized. This determination is based primarily on the Company’s
projected expiration of net operating losses in various state jurisdictions. We will continue to assess the requirement for a valuation allowance
on a quarterly basis.
In the third quarter of 2008, the Company completed its analysis of research and development expenditures for eligibility to qualify for a
research and development (“R&D”) tax credit. Accordingly, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset and related tax benefit of $10.6 million.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company has total R&D tax credit carryforwards of $13.8 million. In 2019, $0.6 million of the R&D credits begin to
expire.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in Canada would be recovered from
future taxable income. Accordingly, in 2007, we recorded a tax benefit of approximately $5 million for the reversal of the tax valuation allowance
related to our Canadian operation.
As of December 31, 2008, we had U.S. net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $293.8 million. Of this
amount, $10.5 million expires in 2018 and $39.1 million expires in 2019; the balance expires in varying amounts through 2027. Of the total U.S.
net operating loss carry forward, approximately $96.1 million relates to stock-option tax deductions which will be tax-effected and the benefit
credited as additional paid-in-capital when realized. Additionally, the Company has Canadian net operating loss carryovers of approximately
$27.7 million that expire in varying amounts through 2026. Our Indian subsidiary is entitled to a tax holiday which expires in 2009.

Goodwill
SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” classifies intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite
lives subject to amortization; (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization; and (3) goodwill. For intangible assets with
definite lives, tests for impairment must be performed if conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For intangible
assets with indefinite lives and goodwill, tests for impairment must be performed at least annually or more frequently if events or
circumstances indicate that assets might be impaired. Our acquired technology and other intangible assets determined to have definite lives
are amortized over their useful lives. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, if conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be
recoverable, we review such intangible assets with definite lives for impairment. Such conditions may include an economic downturn in a
market or a change in the assessment of future operations. Goodwill is not amortized. We perform tests for impairment of goodwill annually, or
more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it might be impaired. We have only one reporting unit for which all goodwill is assigned.
Impairment tests for goodwill include comparing the fair value of the company compared to the comparable carrying value, including goodwill.

2008 compared to 2007

Revenues
Total revenues increased by $38.2 million, or 8.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007.
The acquisition of EPSi in February 2008 accounted for $10.9 million of the increase. The acquisition of MediNotes in October 2008 accounted
for $2.2 million of the increase. Although revenues increased 8.0% in 2008, we experienced a decrease in the growth rate in the fourth quarter of
2008, as revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008 grew only 1.9% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007.
Systems and Services Revenues

Systems and services revenues increased by $34.8 million, or 7.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2007. The overall increase for the year ended December 31, 2008 resulted from increases of $32.8 million in revenues recognized
on a ratable basis and $4.3 million in professional services revenues offset by a decrease of $2.3 million in periodic revenues.

Table of Contents
• Revenues Recognized Ratably - Revenues recognized ratably from software, maintenance, outsourcing and remote hosting were
$334.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $32.8 million, or 10.9%, as compared to year ended December 31,
2007. The increase was due to new sales bookings in previous periods for our solutions, remote hosting related services, and
outsourcing, resulting in growth in our recurring revenue base. Future growth in these revenues depends upon future bookings in
excess of previous levels. In addition, the acquisition of EPSi in February 2008 added $1.7 million to our revenues recognized
ratably for the year ended December 31, 2008. These increases were offset by a decrease of $2.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007, as a result of the sale of our Clinical Practice Model Resource
Center (CPMRC) business in late 2007.
• Periodic Revenues - Periodic revenues for software related fees, third party software related fees and networking services (only
2007) were $37.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $39.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, a
decrease of $2.3 million. The table below summarizes the components of periodic revenues (in thousands):

Total periodic revenues $37,121 $39,455 $ (2,334) -5.9%
In any period, some software revenues can be considered one time in nature for that period, and we do not recognize these revenues on
a ratable basis. These revenues include traditional license fees associated with new contracts signed in the period, including add-on
licenses to existing clients and new client transactions, as well as revenues from contract backlog that had not previously been
recognized pending contract performance that occurred or was completed during the period, and certain other activities during the period
associated with client relationships. In the aggregate, these periodic revenues can contribute significantly to earnings in the period
because relatively little in-period costs are associated with such revenues (other than those costs associated with networking services,
which is applicable only to 2007). We expect these periodic revenues to continue to fluctuate as a result of significant variations in the
type and magnitude of sales and other contract and client activity in any period, and these variations make it difficult to predict the
nature and amount of these periodic revenues. The acquisition of EPSi in February 2008 contributed periodic software related fees
revenues of $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition, the acquisition of MediNotes in October 2008 contributed
periodic software related fees revenues of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Our periodic revenues may vary significantly, and fall below prior-period levels, if challenging economic conditions continue to motivate
clients to defer capital investments, conserve cash and prefer software subscription contracting to traditional licensing
arrangements. Periodic revenue from traditional software license arrangements carries high margins and contributes significantly to
overall profitability in the transaction period, and increasing periodic software license revenue beyond 2008 levels is important to our
ability to improve profitability. We believe economic conditions, and resulting cash conservation by clients, adversely affected our
periodic software related fees revenues in the second half of 2008, and continuation of these conditions and client reactions will
adversely affect our results of operations in 2009.
During 2007, we exited our networking services business and shifted any residual client network hardware needs to third party hardware
providers. The related revenues are included in hardware revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008.
• Professional Services Revenues - Professional services revenues, which include implementation, training and consulting related
services, were $124.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of
38
Table of Contents
$4.3 million, or 3.6%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase resulted primarily from higher utilization of our
professional services team and increased activity associated with implementation of our software following increases in previous
period software sales. In addition, the acquisition of EPSi in February 2008 and the acquisition of MediNotes in October 2008 added
$1.7 million and $0.3 million respectively to our professional services revenues in 2008. These increases were offset by a decrease of
$5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007, as a result of the sale of our
Clinical Practice Model Resource Center (CPMRC) business in late 2007. Utilization of our professional services organization fell
short of our expectations in the fourth quarter of 2008, and in response we are reducing professional services headcount. Demand
for professional services in 2009 is uncertain.
Hardware Revenues
Hardware revenues increased by $3.4 million, or 20.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to the year ended December 31,
2007. During 2007, we exited our networking services business and shifted any residual client network hardware needs to third party hardware
providers resulting in a shift from periodic revenues to hardware revenues. This shift contributed hardware revenues of $5.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 2008.
Operating Expenses
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is included in cost of systems and services, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and research
and development expenses. Total stock-based compensation was $17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, up $6.1 million compared
to the year ended December 31, 2007. Stock-based compensation expense increased in 2008 as compared to 2007 due to the timing of options
issued (the majority of the 2008 stock-option grants occurred in the first half of 2008 while the majority of the 2007 grants occurred in the
second half of 2007), an increase in restricted-stock grants; and a decrease in the vesting period for stock awards granted in 2008 as compared
to 2007. The increase in stock compensation expense also reflected a change of the forfeiture rate application used in the calculation of stock-
based compensation expense. Beginning with the third quarter of 2008, we elected to change the application of the forfeiture rate used in the
calculation of stock-based compensation expense which resulted in a non-recurring incremental expense of $1.5 million.
Stock-based compensation expense in future periods depends upon equity award activity and changes in variables affecting the valuations of
equity awards, as well as the timing of full vesting of awards and resulting cessation of associated expense.
Cost of Systems and Services
Our cost of systems and services increased $17.1 million, or 6.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2007. The increase reflects:
• Labor related costs increased by $8.7 million, which includes higher wages and benefits of $9.3 million, higher stock-based
compensation of $2.7 million, higher severance expenses of $2.2 million, partially offset by lower annual incentive compensation
expense of $5.5 million. The increase in wages reflects higher average headcount supporting growth in the business. Growth
slowed in our services business leading to headcount reductions in early 2009. Higher stock-based compensation was primarily due
to factors discussed in the previous paragraph. Our reorganization of the services organization in the third quarter 2008 drove the
increase in severance expense. The reduction in annual incentive compensation expense resulted from failure to meet minimum
operating results required to fund payment of incentive compensation under our corporate bonus plan.
• Third party software cost of services increased by $7.0 million included growth in our third party business and amounts recognized
in the third quarter 2008 related to nonrecurring adjustments from prior periods and more contract activity requiring third party
services as a result of exiting our network business.
• Amortization of capitalized software increased by $3.6 million as a result of the release of SunriseXA 5.0 in December of 2007.
These increases were slightly offset by lower consulting and insurance fees in 2008.

Table of Contents
Cost of Hardware
Cost of hardware increased $4.7 million or 38.6% for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007
impacted by higher hardware sales and an incremental adjustment in the third quarter of 2008 of $1.7 million to correctly record certain third-
party embedded software costs which were previously deferred. Increases in costs of hardware were also impacted by our networking services
business during 2007, which shifted any residual network hardware activity to third party hardware providers. This shift created additional
hardware costs related to increased third party hardware activity. The first nine months of 2008 were also impacted by higher software costs
for reasons previously discussed for the third quarter of 2008.
Sales and Marketing

Our sales and marketing expenses increased $9.7 million, or 12.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended
December 31 2007. The increase in sales and marketing expenses included higher labor related compensation and higher travel, sales trade
shows, and other miscellaneous expenses in efforts to continue to grow the business. Higher labor related costs included higher stock-based
compensation of $3.1 million, higher basic wages and related benefits of $6.7 million, partially offset by lower annual incentive compensation
expense of $1.8 million resulting from failure to meet minimum operating results required to fund payment of incentive compensation under our
corporate bonus plan and lower sales commissions of $2.9 million.

Our research and development expenses increased $5.0 million, or 8.8%, in the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2008, labor related costs increased $2.7 million impacted by higher wages and related
benefits due to higher headcount in India, partially offset by a decrease in annual incentive compensation expense resulting from failure to
meet minimum operating results required to fund payment of incentive compensation under our corporate bonus plan. The increase in 2008
research and development expenses also reflect a $2.8 million year-over-year decrease in internal labor cost capitalization due to completion of
development work related to SunriseXA 5.0, which we released in December of 2007.
Our gross research and development spending, which consists of research and development expenses and capitalized software development
costs of $79.6 million in 2008, increased $2.2 million compared to $77.4 million in 2007. This increase was due primarily to continued expansion
of our research and development activities in supporting current and future growth in our business.
In summary, research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows (in thousands):
For Th e
Ye ar En de d
De ce m be r 31,
2008 2007 C h an ge ($) C h an ge (%)
Research and development expenses $61,435 $56,480 $ 4,955 8.8%
Capitalized software and development costs 18,177 20,943 (2,766) -13.2%
Gross research and development expenditures $79,612 $77,423 $ 2,189 2.8%
Amortization of capitalized software development costs $18,668 $15,039 $ 3,629 24.1%
General and Administrative

Our general and administrative expenses increased $5.8 million, or 17.7%, in the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2007. Increases in general and administrative costs include higher bad debt expense of $3.5 million due to write offs and reserves
for specific receivables in 2008. Labor costs for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007 increased
$1.7 million due to higher stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million and higher labor and benefit costs of $2.6 million, partially offset
by lower annual incentive compensation expense of $1.9 million resulting from failure to meet minimum operating results required to fund
payment of incentive compensation under our corporate bonus plan. Other increases in
40
Table of Contents
general and administrative costs include higher rents and facilities costs due to office transition and build outs in India and Atlanta. These
increases were partially offset by lower legal costs of $1.0 million in 2008 due to completion of the voluntary stock-option review in 2007 and to
a lesser extent insurance recoveries associated with our derivative lawsuit recorded as a reduction in legal expense in 2008.
Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.2 million, or 23.3%, in the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2007. The increase in depreciation and amortization is attributable primarily to $4.8 million of increased amortization related to
intangible assets acquired in the 2008 acquisitions of EPSi and MediNotes. Due to the timing of these acquisitions and our acquisition of
Premise on December 30, 2008, we expect amortization to increase approximately $7.0 million in 2009.
In-Process Research and Development Charge

Approximately $0.9 million of the purchase price of our acquisition of EPSi was allocated to in-process research and development and was
charged to our income statement in the first quarter of 2008. The $0.9 million acquired in-process research and development was valued using
the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method by an independent appraisal firm. The material assumptions, underlying the purchase price
allocation, were as follows: projected revenue assumptions, decay rate, cost assumptions, operating expense assumptions, charge
assumptions for the use of contributory assets, and discount rate assumptions. At the date of acquisition, the technology was still in the
research and development phase and had not yet been completed to a point of an existing or current product offering. At the time of
acquisition, the projected cost to complete the project was $0.2 million. The in-process technology was incorporated within an EPSi product
module that was released in January 2009.
Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges were $1.2 million in 2007. The 2007 restructuring expenses related to the relocation of our corporate headquarters from
Boca Raton, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia.
Gain on Sale of Assets

During 2008 we recorded additional gain on sale of assets of $4.4 million, resulting from the completion of post-closing milestones associated
with the fourth quarter 2007 sale of our CPMRC business. In December of 2007 we recorded a $12.8 million gain on the original sale of the
CPMRC business. See 2007 compared to 2006 results for additional disclosure on the sale of this business.
Loss on Auction Rate Security (ARS)

We recorded a net loss of $0.6 million during 2008. This net loss included a gain of $3.3 million associated with recording the fair value of a
settlement agreement entered into with UBS in November 2008, which was more than offset by a $3.9 million loss reflecting the reduction of the
fair value of our ARS purchased through UBS.
Interest Expense
We incurred interest expense of $2.1 million on borrowings under the $45.0 million short-term financing arrangement we entered into in
February 2008 and repaid in May 2008, the $50.0 million short-term financing arrangement we entered into in May 2008 and repaid in August
2008, and the $105.0 million borrowed under the $125.0 million long-term financing arrangement we entered into in August 2008. The interest
rate applicable to the borrowed amount is based, at our option, on the prime rate, one-month LIBOR rate, three-month LIBOR rate, six-month
LIBOR rate or 12-month LIBOR rate at the initial debt draw date and interest rate contract end date plus an applicable margin. The applicable
margin is based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement and as of December 31, 2008 was 1.75%. Our leverage ratio increases
to 2.0% in 2009 due to the increase in our outstanding debt. The effective interest rates at December 31, 2008 are as follows:
O u tstan ding De bt Inte re st Rate

$ 51,000 3.95%
16,000 3.97%
38,000 4.00%
$105,000 3.97%
Borrowings increased from $0 to $105.0 million in stages during 2008, including borrowings of approximately $16 million in October and
approximately $38 million in December. Borrowings are not expected to decrease in 2009.

Table of Contents
Interest Income
Interest income decreased $1.0 million, or 14.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to year ended December 31, 2007. The
decrease was attributable to lower interest rates in 2008 as compared to 2007 on our ARS due to failed Dutch auctions beginning in February
2008. Although the auctions failed, we continued to earn interest on the ARS, but only at the contractual rate.
Provision for Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded an income tax benefit of $82.4 million as compared to an income tax benefit of $4.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 2007. The change in income taxes was primarily related to the benefit of the release of our U.S. deferred tax
asset valuation allowance and recognizing the benefit of research and development credits.
Beginning with the first quarter of 2009, we expect to begin providing for an income tax provision at a rate on income before taxes equal to our
combined worldwide effective tax rate. However, our tax rate could be unfavorably impacted by share-based compensation shortfalls. A
shortfall exists for a stock compensation award to the extent that the cumulative recognized book stock compensation expense for that award
exceeds the associated tax deduction. Substantial amounts of stock compensation shortfalls could occur in 2009 because of the recent
volatility of the Company’s common stock price. However, we are not able to predict the amount of the shortfalls. The Company must reflect a
tax provision for stock compensation shortfalls because it has no pool of windfall tax benefits from stock compensation. The Company has no
pool of windfall tax benefit because the Company has used the “with-and-without” or “incremental” approach for ordering tax benefits derived
from the share-based payment of awards.
2007 compared to 2006

Revenues
Total revenues increased by $50.0 million, or 11.7% to $477.5 million, for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2006.
Systems and Services Revenues

Systems and services revenues increased by $51.4 million, or 12.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2006. Of this increase, $24.5 million was attributable to revenue recognized on a ratable basis, $20.9 million was attributable to
revenue from professional services and $6.0 million was attributable to periodic revenues related to software licenses and other in-period
related activities.
• Revenues Recognized Ratably - Revenues recognized ratably from software, maintenance, outsourcing and remote hosting were
$301.5 million, for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $24.5 million, or 8.8%, as compared to year ended December 31,
2006. The increase was due to new sales bookings in previous periods for our solutions, remote hosting related services, and
outsourcing, in previous periods, resulting in growth in our recurring revenue base. Future growth in these revenues depends upon
future bookings in excess of previous levels.

• Periodic Revenues - Periodic revenues for software related fees, third party software related fees and networking services were
$39.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $33.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of
$6.0 million or 17.9% over the prior year. The table below summarizes the components of periodic revenues (in thousands):
For Th e
Ye ars En de d
De ce m be r 31,
2007 2006 C h an ge $ C h an ge %
Eclipsys software related fees $21,505 $12,975 $ 8,530 65.7%
Third party software related fees 9,096 7,952 1,144 14.4%
Networking services 8,854 12,550 (3,696) -29.5%
Total periodic revenues $39,455 $33,477 $ 5,978 17.9%
In any period, some software revenues can be considered one time in nature for that period, and we do not recognize these
revenues on a ratable basis. These revenues include traditional license fees associated with new contracts signed in the period,
including add-on licenses to existing clients and new client transactions, as well as revenues from contract backlog that had not
previously been recognized pending contract performance that occurred or was completed during the period, and certain other
activities during the period associated with client relationships. In the aggregate, these periodic revenues can contribute
significantly to earnings in the period because relatively little in-period costs are associated with such revenues (other than those
costs associated with networking services). We expect these periodic revenues to continue to fluctuate on an annual basis as a
result of significant variations in the type and magnitude of sales and other contract and client activity in any period, and these
variations make it difficult to predict the nature and amount of these periodic revenues. The increase in software related fees in
2007 was partially offset by lower revenues from networking services due to management’s decision in the third quarter of 2007 to
stop selling networking products.
• Professional Services Revenues - Professional services revenues, which include implementation, training and consulting related
services, were $120.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $20.9 million, or 21.1%, as compared to the year
ended December 31, 2006. The increase in both periods resulted primarily from higher utilization of our professional services team
and increased activity associated with implementation of our software following increases in previous period software sales.
Hardware Revenues
Hardware revenues decreased by $1.4 million, or 7.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to the year ended December 31,
2006. The decrease in revenues resulted from more clients choosing other hardware sources and/or reducing their hardware needs by opting
for remote hosted solutions. As remote hosting reduces clients’ need for hardware, future hardware revenues may be negatively impacted. We
expect hardware revenues to continue to fluctuate on an annual basis.
Operating Expenses
Cost of Systems and Services
Cost of systems and services increased by $25.9 million, or 10.9%, to $263.2 million, for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in cost
of systems and services in 2007 was primarily attributable to the following:
• Higher labor related costs of $20.3 million, mainly associated with an increase in headcount and higher incentive compensation on
improved financial performance;
• Higher travel costs of $3.3 million associated with increased level of sales activity; and
• Higher consulting, software maintenance and software license costs associated with incremental implementation and software-
related revenues.
43
Table of Contents
The increases above were slightly offset by lower amortization of capitalized software development costs of $2.6 million, as costs capitalized
for Sunrise Clinical Manager 3.5XA were fully amortized as of the second quarter of 2007.
Cost of Hardware
Cost of hardware decreased $2.4 million, or 16.2%, in 2007. The decrease in these costs was directly related to the lower hardware volumes
discussed above, slightly offset by more favorable product margins. The gross margin percentage on hardware revenue increased to 26.0% in
2007 compared to 19.3% in 2006 impacted by changes in product mix.
Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses increased $12.8 million, or 20.2%, in 2007. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to
increased labor-related costs of $9.5 million on higher headcount, higher commissions on increased sales volumes and increased incentive
compensation on improved financial performance. The increase was also related to additional expenses for tradeshows and marketing events
designed to enhance market awareness of the Company’s solutions.

Research and development expenses were $56.5 million in 2007 compared to $57.8 million in 2006, a decrease of $1.0 million over the prior year.
Research and development expense decreased due to the higher level of internal labor cost capitalization of $6.8 million associated with
development work related to SunriseXA 5.0. SunriseXA 5.0 was released in December of 2007. The impact of higher cost capitalization was
partially offset by higher labor-related costs of $6.2 million on increased headcount and higher incentive compensation on improved financial
performance. Our gross research and development spending, which consists of research and development expenses and capitalized software
development costs, increased $5.8 million to $77.7 million in 2007 compared to $71.9 million in 2006.
In summary, research and development expense was as follows:
For Th e
Ye ar En de d
De ce m be r 31,
2007 2006 C h an ge ($) C h an ge (%)
Research and development expenses $56,480 $57,768 $ (1,288) -2.2%
Capitalized software and development costs $20,943 $14,106 $ 6,837 48.5%
Gross research and development expenditures $77,423 $71,874 $ 5,549 7.7%
Amortization of capitalized software development costs $15,039 $17,494 $ (2,455) -14.0%
General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $8.0 million, or 32.0%, in 2007. The increase was primarily related to $4.6 million of
higher professional service fees, including $3.1 million of incremental legal and accounting fees associated with our voluntary stock option
review and related derivative lawsuit. Additional increases in general and administrative expenses include higher labor-related costs reflecting
increased headcount and higher incentive compensation due to improved financial performance.
Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $2.0 million, or 12.9%, in 2007 compared to 2006. The increase was primarily the result of higher
depreciation associated with the increased asset base related to the continued growth of our operations.

Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges were $1.2 million in 2007 compared to $14.7 million in 2006. The 2007 restructuring expenses related to the relocation of
our corporate headquarters from Boca Raton, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia, which commenced in October 2007 to consolidate more of the
Company’s operations in one location and provide a more accessible location for existing and potential clients as well as employees. The
charges related to this plan primarily consisted of severance-related expenses associated with the termination of impacted employees and
included one-time termination benefits and retention-bonus expenses. The plan is expected to be substantially complete in the first quarter of
2008, with total restructuring expenses expected to approximate $2.3 million, which includes the $1.2 million incurred in 2007.
The 2006 restructuring charges related to the reduction of headcount and the consolidation of office space. In January 2006, we effected a
restructuring of our operations which included a reduction in headcount of approximately 100 individuals, as part of the reorganization of our
company. This was undertaken to better align our organization, reduce costs, and re-invest some of the cost savings into client-related
activities including client support and professional services. In December 2006, we realigned certain management resources and consolidated
certain facilities to eliminate excess office space. The 2006 activities resulted in restructuring charges of $14.7 million in the year ended
December 31, 2006. See Note L, “Restructuring” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Gain on Sale of Assets

In December 2007, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Elsevier Inc. (“Elsevier”) pursuant to which Elsevier acquired
certain assets of our Clinical Practice Model Resource Center (“CPMRC”) business (including CPMRC’s proprietary clinical practice
guidelines and related intellectual property), assumed certain CPMRC content customer contracts and retained related CPMRC employees for
$23.1 million in cash. The transaction resulted in a net gain in 2007 of $12.8 million comprised of the following:
(in thousands):
Cash received $23,134

CPMRC earnout settlement payment (5,100)
Net assets sold (4,755)
Other costs (518)
Gain on sale $12,761
In connection with this transaction the Company, for $5.1 million, settled the remaining earnout obligation under the 2004 CPMRC acquisition
agreement and reflected this as a reduction of the gain on sale.
In addition to the aforementioned proceeds from sale, the Company can earn up to an additional $11.0 million over the next 3 years in the event
Elsevier meets certain sales targets, we are successful in obtaining permission from a customer to transfer its contract to Elsevier, and we
complete certain minor data base application development for Elsevier. If these milestones are met, we would reflect any contingent
consideration received as additional gain on the sale of CPMRC.
In connection with the sale, the Company and Elsevier entered into reseller and license agreements to allow Eclipsys to continue to acquire
CPMRC content and services from Elsevier in order to support existing and possible new customers who use Eclipsys’ Knowledge-Based
Charting software application, which contains the CPMRC content.
Interest Income
Interest income increased $1.7 million, or 32.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. The
increase was due to increased marketable securities balances in 2007 as compared to 2006 and an improvement in yields on marketable
securities in 2007.
(Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes

The income tax benefit was $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to a provision of $38,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2006. The 2007 benefit resulted from the reversal of the valuation
45
Table of Contents
allowance related to our Canadian operations, offset by alternative minimum tax, as well as non-cash expense related to the utilization of pre-
acquisition net operating losses pursuant to SFAS 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The utilization of the pre-acquisition loss resulted in a
corresponding reduction to goodwill. The 2007 benefit was also offset by accruals of probable foreign taxes and penalties relating to transfer
pricing, pursuant to FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of SFAS 109.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview
Cash and marketable securities at December 31, 2008 were $108.5 million representing an $83.0 million decrease from December 31, 2007. This
decrease primarily reflects the reclassification of $103.9 million of our ARS from marketable securities to non-current assets. In addition, the
company used $43.3 million in 2008 for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs. These uses of cash
were offset by $73.4 million of cash inflow from operating activities. Our 2008 acquisitions were primarily debt funded.
Economic events in 2008, including the substantial decline in the global capital markets, as well as the lack of liquidity in the credit markets,
could impact our clients’ ability to obtain financing. In addition, many of our clients’ budgets rely in part on investment earnings, which have
suffered given recent declines in portfolio investment values. These recent events, to date, have not materially impacted the quality of our
accounts receivable balances or our ability to access our credit facility as evidenced by our December 2008 borrowing of $38.0 million to fund
the Premise Corporation acquisition price and related transaction fees. However, if challenging economic conditions persist, our clients’ future
ability to pay for our software and services, for which they have contracted, may be impaired. As a result, reserves for doubtful accounts and
write-offs of accounts receivable may increase, with corresponding decreases in cash collections.
2008
During the year ended December 31, 2008, operating activities provided $73.4 million of cash. Cash flow from operating activities reflected
income generated from operations of $76.9 million, after adjusting for non cash items of $22.6 million, which included depreciation and
amortization, in-process research and development charge, stock compensation, provision for bad debt, non cash deferred tax provision, gain
on sale of assets and gain on sale of investments. Cash flow from operating activities after noncash items, described above, in 2008 as
compared to 2007 increased by $4.8 million due to higher revenues and related cash collections in 2008.
Net changes in operating assets and liabilities contributed an adjustment of $5.3 million to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating
activities. This adjustment comprises the following changes year over year:
• an increase in accounts receivable of $20.9 million related to increased revenue in 2008 and higher 2009 maintenance activity billed
in December 2008;
• a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $2.1 million related to timing of cash payments;
• an increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities of $9.0 million related to timing of our contractual obligations and
payments;
• a decrease in accrued compensation of $10.6 million due to payment of 2007 annual incentive compensation in 2008 and no accrual
of expense for 2008 annual incentive compensation resulting from failure to meet minimum operating results required to fund
payment under our corporate bonus plan;
• an increase in other long term liabilities of $12.5 million due to recording of a FIN 48 liability and an increase in deferred rent
primarily related to our Atlanta location; and
• an increase in deferred revenue of $13.5 million due to higher 2009 maintenance activity billed in December 2008.
Investing activities used $96.8 million of cash which included $111.5 million, net of cash acquired, for our EPSi, MediNotes, and Premise
acquisitions, $25.1 million of capital expenditures and $18.2 million for investment in software, partially offset by net sales of marketable
securities of $51.6 million and $3.6 million received on the 2007 sale of our CPMRC business. We do not expect our 2008 acquisitions to
materially impact our future liquidity. Capital expenditures included leasehold improvements for our new corporate headquarters facility in
Atlanta, Georgia and our facility in British Columbia, Canada and investment in our facilities in Pune, India.

Financing activities provided cash inflow of $110.6 million, primarily consisting of net proceeds of $105.0 million from our secured financing
described below. We also received $6.3 million from stock option exercises. Stock-option exercises subsided during the fourth quarter of 2008
due to the downturn in the economy and related drop in our stock price. The amount of cash that will be provided by future stock option
exercises is uncertain.
2007
amortization, stock compensation, provision for bad debt, non cash deferred tax provision, gain on sale of assets and gain on sale of
investments. Cash flow from operating activities after noncash items, described above, in 2007 as compared to 2006 increased by $15.8 million
due to higher revenues and related cash collections in 2007.
Net changes in operating assets and liabilities contributed an adjustment of $1.8 million to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating
activities. This adjustment comprises the following changes year over year:
• an increase in accounts receivable of $5.7 million related to increased revenue in 2007;
• an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $4.6 million due to timing of cash payments;
• a decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities of $9.1 million related to timing of our contractual obligations and
payments, as well as payments of $4.7 million in connection with our restructuring activities;
• an increase in accrued compensation of $11.1 million due primarily to an increase in sales commissions and bonuses;
• a decrease in inventory of $1.0 million due to our exit of the networking services business;
• an increase in other long term liabilities of $2.5 million; and
• an increase in deferred revenue of $1.4 million and a decrease in other assets of $1.4 million each due to timing of our customer
billing cycles.
Investing activities used $102.7 million of cash, and consisted of net purchases of marketable securities of $79.4 million to invest excess cash
not needed in daily operations, property and equipment expenditures of $16.6 million related to activities at our Technology Solutions Center,
or TSC, for the continued expansion of our remote hosting function, capitalized software development costs of $20.9 million for new product
development, $2.0 million used to collateralize a letter of credit on a new building lease, and $6.4 million related to earnout payments on our
prior acquisitions, offset by $22.6 million received from sale of CPMRC assets.
Financing activities provided cash inflow of $12.9 million, primarily consisting of proceeds from stock option exercises. The timing and amount
of cash provided by future stock option exercises are uncertain.
2006
amortization, stock compensation, provision for bad debt, non cash deferred tax provision, gain on sale of assets and gain on sale of
investments.
Net changes in operating assets and liabilities contributed an adjustment of $29.8 million to reconcile net income to cash provided by
operating activities. This adjustment comprises the following changes year over year:
• an increase in accounts receivable of $14.5 million related to increased revenue in 2006;
47
Table of Contents
• an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $3.8 million due to timing of cash payments;
• an decrease in accrued compensation of $4.9 million due timing of payroll transactions;
• a decrease in inventory of $1.2 million due to phasing out our networking services business;
• a decrease in deferred revenue of $10.6 million due to timing of our customer billing cycles and a decline in up-front billing
contracts; and
• a decrease in other assets of $2.6 million primarily representing deferred expenses, due to timing of our customer billing cycles.
Investing activities used $89.7 million of cash, and consisted of net purchases of marketable securities of $52.1 million to invest excess cash
not needed in daily operations, purchases of property and equipment of $17.5 million, capitalized software development costs of $14.1 million
for new product development, and $6.0 million related to acquisitions. The property and equipment expenditures were related to activities at
our Technology Solutions Center, or TSC, for the continued expansion of our remote hosting function, as well as investments in our enterprise
resource planning solution.
Financing activities provided cash inflow of $27.7 million and mainly consisted of exercises of stock options. Stock option exercises were
above their typical levels during the year ended December 31, 2006 as a result of exercises of options from option holders whose employment
was terminated in connection with the restructuring.
Future Capital Requirements

As of December 31, 2008, our principal source of liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents balances and marketable securities of $108.5
million. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities combined with our anticipated cash flows from
operations will be sufficient to fund our current operations for the next twelve months.
As of December 31, 2008, $58.3 million of our money market funds held at Evergreen Investments have been guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury
Money Market Guarantee Program. The plan ensures that if a participating fund’s share value declines under $1.00 and a decision is made to
liquidate by the fund’s Board of Trustees, the U.S. Treasury would cover any shortfall between the share price at the time of liquidation and
$1.00 for investors as of September 19, 2008. This guarantee is effective until April 30, 2009.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company held approximately $116.6 million par value of investments in auction-rate securities (“ARS”) of which
$36.3 million was purchased through UBS Financial Services (“UBS”) and $80.3 million was purchased through Goldman Sachs. As of
December 31, 2008, our ARS purchased through UBS are entirely comprised of “AAA” rated pools of student loans, and our ARS purchased
through Goldman Sachs are comprised of $64.8 million of “AAA” rated pools of student loans and $15.5 million of “Baa3” rated pools of
student loans. These investments have long-term nominal maturities for which the interest rates are supposed to be reset through a Dutch
auction each month. Prior to February 2008, the monthly auctions historically provided a liquid market for these securities. However, in
February 2008, the broker-dealers managing the Company’s ARS portfolio experienced failed auctions of certain of these securities where the
amount of securities submitted for sale exceeded the amount of purchase orders. Our ARS continued to fail to settle at auctions through the
end of 2008.
The Company continues to earn interest on these investments at the contractual rate. In April 2008, a partial call transaction was closed related
to one of our ARS, as a result of which we received proceeds of $4.6 million. In May 2008, a call transaction was closed related to another one
of our ARS securities, as a result of which we received proceeds of $14.3 million. Each of these two transactions resulted in a recovery of the
full par value of the securities. On November 12, 2008, we entered into a settlement agreement with UBS pursuant to which the Company
(1) received the right (the “put option”) to sell its ARS, originally purchased through UBS, at par value, to UBS between June 30, 2010 and
July 2, 2012 and (2) gave UBS the right to purchase the ARS, originally purchased through UBS, from the Company any time after the
acceptance date of the settlement agreement as long as the Company receives the par value of the securities.

Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2008, the Company has recorded these investments, including the put option, at their estimated fair value of $107.2 million.
Due to events in the credit markets, quoted prices in active markets are not readily available at this time. A third-party appraisal firm provided
an estimate of the fair value of the ARS and the put option held as of December 31, 2008. In order to validate the fair value estimate of these
securities and the put option for reporting, the Company considered the appraiser’s pricing model which included factors such as credit
quality, duration, insurance wraps, assumptions about future cash flows and likelihood of redemption. The Company concluded that the
pricing model, given the lack of market available pricing, provided a reasonable basis for determining fair value of the ARS and the put option
as of December 31, 2008. All of our ARS were at an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2008.
The Company has accounted for the put option as a freestanding financial instrument and elected to record the value under the fair value
option of SFAS No. 159. This resulted in the recording of a $3.3 million asset with a corresponding credit to income for the value of the put
option for the year ended December 31, 2008. Simultaneously, the Company made an election pursuant to SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS 115”), to transfer the related auction rate securities from available-for-sale to
trading securities. The transfer resulted in the reversal of prior unrealized losses, net of taxes, on the UBS purchased ARS from accumulated
other comprehensive income and the recognition of the unrealized losses as a charge to income of $3.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2008. The Company expects that the future changes in the fair value of the put option will be offset by the fair value movements in the related
ARS. We have recorded a temporary loss on the ARS purchased through Goldman Sachs of $8.8 million, as of December 31, 2008, in
accumulated other comprehensive income, reflecting the decline in the fair value of these securities, as these securities remain classified as
available for sale. The Company has concluded that no other-than-temporary impairment losses occurred for the year ended December 31, 2008
related to these securities because the Company believes that the declines in fair value that have occurred during 2008 are due to recent market
liquidity conditions.
We believe these investments continue to be of high credit quality, and we currently plan to hold the ARS until such time as successful
auctions occur, secondary markets allow for a sufficient price to recover substantially all of our par value, or our put option becomes
exercisable. Accordingly, we have classified these securities as long-term investments in our consolidated balance sheet. The Company will
continue to analyze its ARS each reporting period for impairment and it may be required to record an impairment charge in the consolidated
statement of operations if the decline in fair value of the Goldman Sachs purchased ARS are determined to be other-than-temporary.
In February 2008 we entered into a secured financing agreement with an investment bank, pursuant to which we received $45.0 million in
exchange for a transfer to the bank (as a form of collateral) of ARS with a nominal value of $90.0 million in the aggregate. The Company entered
into this arrangement to provide funds to close our February 2008 acquisition of EPSi. On May 9, 2008, we entered into a credit agreement,
pursuant to which the Company received a senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million. We
entered into this arrangement to obtain funds to repay the $45.0 million short-term financing agreement. On August 26, 2008, Eclipsys entered
into a credit agreement pursuant to which Eclipsys received a senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of
$125.0 million. The credit facility includes a letter of credit subfacility of up to $10.0 million and a swingline loan subfacility of up to $5.0 million.
We have collateralized a letter of credit with $1.9 million of available principal and are incurring interest expense on the outstanding letter of
credit amount based on the applicable rate of 1.75% plus a 0.25% facing fee. We also incur interest on the unused principal balance based on
an applicable rate of 0.30%. Borrowings under the credit facility may be used to pay transaction expenses, to refinance debt, for potential
acquisitions and capital investments, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. At the closing, Eclipsys borrowed $51.0
million under the credit facility of which $50.3 million was used to repay all borrowings plus interest under Eclipsys’ prior $50.0 million credit
facility and $0.7 million was used to pay transaction costs.
On October 2, 2008, the Company acquired MediNotes for approximately $45.0 million consisting of cash and Eclipsys common stock. The
cash portion of the acquisition price and related transaction fees were financed with $16.0 million borrowed from our $125.0 million credit
facility. On December 31, 2008, we acquired Premise Corporation for approximately $39.4 million. The acquisition price was financed with $38.0
million borrowed from our $125.0 million credit facility. As of December 31, 2008, Eclipsys has $18.1 million available for borrowings under the
$125.0 million credit facility.

Table of Contents
Our future cash requirements will depend on a number of factors including, among other things, the timing and level of our new sales volumes,
the cost of our development efforts, the success and market acceptance of our future product releases, and other related items. The Company
also periodically evaluates business expansion opportunities that fit its strategic plans, such as our February 2008 acquisition of EPSi, our
October 2008 acquisition of MediNotes, and our December 2008 acquisition of Premise. If an opportunity requiring significant capital
investment were to arise, the Company may seek to finance the opportunity through available cash on hand, existing financings, issuance of
additional shares of its stock or additional sources of financing, as circumstances warrant. However, there can be no assurance that adequate
liquidity would be available to finance extraordinary business opportunities. In addition, we may not be able to draw on the full available
balance of our $125.0 million credit facility if one or more of the financial institutions that have extended credit commitments to us become
unwilling or unable to fund such borrowings. In the current economic environment, the chance of a syndicate bank failing to meet a funding
commitment is less unlikely than under more normal circumstances, and our ability to replace a non-funding bank in the syndicate is uncertain.
There can also be no assurance that our credit facility will be renewed or replaced upon its expiration on August 26, 2011. Our ability to renew
such credit facility or to enter into a new financing arrangement to replace the existing facility could be impaired if the current disruptions in
U.S. and international financial markets continue or worsen.
The recent disruptions in the financial markets can also reduce access to cash by our clients and potential clients. In addition, many of our
clients’ budgets rely in part on investment earnings, which have suffered given recent declines in portfolio investment values. If healthcare
information technology spending declines or increases more slowly than we anticipate, demand for our software could be adversely affected
and our revenue could decline. Challenging economic conditions also may impair the ability of our clients to pay for our software and services
for which they have contacted. As a result, reserves for doubtful accounts and write-offs of accounts receivable may increase, with
corresponding decreases in cash collections.
SFAS 157 “Fair Value Measurements”

Due to events in credit markets quoted prices in active markets are not readily available at this time for our ARS and put option. A third-party
appraisal firm provided an estimate of the fair value of the ARS and the put option held as of December 31, 2008. In order to validate the fair
value estimate of these securities and the put option for reporting, the Company considered the appraiser’s pricing model which included
factors such as credit quality, duration, insurance wraps, assumptions about future cash flows and likelihood of redemption. The Company
concluded that the pricing model, given the lack of market available pricing, provided a reasonable basis for determining fair value of the ARS
and the put option as of December 31, 2008. The assumptions that were used in the model were highly subjective and therefore considered
level 3 unobservable inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of these assets represents $107.2 million or 54.1% of total assets
measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 157. The estimate of the fair value of the ARS we hold could change significantly based on
future market conditions. For additional information on our investments, see Note D - Investments.
Contingencies
On May 22, 2008, The McKenna System (“TMS”) filed in the 274th Judicial District Court, Comal County, Texas, a complaint against the
Company stemming from an agreement between the Company and McKenna Health System (“McKenna”) pursuant to which McKenna agreed
to acquire software and services from the Company. McKenna terminated that agreement on April 18, 2007. The complaint alleges various
causes of action essentially amounting to breach of contract for failing to meet contractual obligations related to the software sold and the
timeliness of implementation, and intentionally or negligently misleading McKenna. TMS has asserted damages of approximately $7.5 million,
and seeks multiple damages under various theories. The outcome of this case and its impact on the Company’s results of operations depend
upon questions of fact and law that are disputed or not clear and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time. The Company intends to
contest this matter vigorously, including defending the allegations and pursuing McKenna’s unfulfilled obligations to Eclipsys.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time parties to other legal proceedings, lawsuits and other
claims incident to their business activities. Such matters may include, among other things, assertions of contract breach or intellectual
property infringement, claims for indemnity arising in the course of our business and claims by persons whose employment with us has been
terminated. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, management is
unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability, amounts which may be covered by insurance or recoverable from third
parties, or the financial impact with respect to these other matters as of December 31, 2008. However, based on our knowledge as of
December 31, 2008, management believes that the final resolution of such other matters pending at the time of this report, individually and in
the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contracts and Commitments

The following table provides information related to our contractual obligations under various financial and commercial agreements as of
December 31, 2008:

The unconditional purchase obligations consist of minimum purchase commitments for telecommunication services, computer equipment,
maintenance, consulting and other commitments.
These amounts are expected to be funded from current cash and cash equivalent balances and the income generated from operations.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We do not currently use derivative financial instruments or enter into foreign currency hedge transactions. Foreign currency fluctuations
through December 31, 2008 have not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. We continually monitor our
exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and may use derivative financial instruments and hedging transactions in the future if, in our
judgment, the circumstances warrant their use. Generally, our expenses are denominated in the same currency as our revenue and the exposure
to rate changes is minimal. We believe most of our international operations are naturally hedged for foreign currency risk as our foreign
subsidiaries invoice their customers and satisfy their obligations primarily in their local currencies with the exception of our development
center in India. Our development center in India is not naturally hedged for foreign currency risk since their obligations are paid in their local
currency but are funded in U.S. dollars. There can be no guarantee that foreign currency fluctuations in the future will not be significant.
We hold investments in auction-rate securities (“ARS”). These ARS are debt instruments with long-term nominal maturities that previously
could be sold via Dutch auctions every 7, 14, 21, 28, or 35 days creating a short-term instrument. In February 2008, broker-dealers holding the
Company’s ARS portfolio experienced failed auctions of certain ARS where the amount of securities submitted for sale exceeded the amount
of related purchase orders. Our ARS continued to fail to settle at auctions through the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company continues to earn
interest on these investments at the contractual rate, and the ARS that the Company
51
Table of Contents
holds have not been placed on credit watch by credit rating agencies. The average interest rate earned on the majority of these investments in
the second half of 2008 was between zero and two percent. During the second half of 2008, $15.5 million (comprising pools of student loans) of
our approximately $116.6 million par value of investments in ARS was downgraded from “AAA” rated to “Baa3” rated. During the year ended
December 31, 2008, we adjusted the carrying amount of our ARS to estimated fair market value. If uncertainties in the credit and capital markets
continue and these markets deteriorate further or the Company experiences any additional rating downgrades on any investments in its
portfolio, the Company may incur further temporary impairments or other-than-temporary impairments, which could negatively affect the
Company’s financial condition, cash flow and reported earnings.
As discussed further in Liquidity and Capital Resources, in November 2008 we entered into a put option to sell our ARS to UBS between
June 30, 2010 and July 2, 2012. Associated with this put, we classified $32.4 million of our ARS as trading as of December 31, 2008. This
classification results in fair value changes recorded to income. The Company expects that the future changes in the fair value of the put option
will be offset by the fair value movements in the related ARS.
Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have
their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if
interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or
we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates.
The following table illustrates potential fluctuation in annualized interest income based upon hypothetical values for blended interest rates for
hypothetical ARS balances (we currently earn interest on $116.6 million par value of ARS):
Hypothe tical
Inte re st Rate Hypothe tical ARS balan ce s (in thou san ds)
$95,000 $105,000 $115,000
0.0% — — —
0.5% 475 525 575
1.0% 950 1,050 1,150
1.5% 1,425 1,575 1,725
2.0% 1,900 2,100 2,300
2.5% 2,375 2,625 2,875
We estimate that a one-percentage point decrease in interest rates for our investment securities portfolio as of December 31, 2008 would have
resulted in a decrease in interest income of $0.3 million for a three month period or $1.2 million for a 12 month period. This sensitivity analysis
contains certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level and rate of debt securities and an immediate across-the-board increase or
decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period, and it does not consider the impact of
changes in the portfolio as a result of our business needs or as a response to changes in the market. Therefore, although it gives an indication
of our exposure to changes in interest rates, it is not intended to predict future results, and our actual results will likely vary. Hypothetical
interest rates used in the table above are significantly lower than the analysis in the prior year due to changes in market conditions in 2008.
On August 26, 2008, we entered into a credit agreement pursuant to which we received a senior secured revolving credit facility in the
aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million. As of December 31, 2008, borrowings under the credit facility totaled $105.0 million. The interest
rate applicable to the borrowed amount is based, at our option, on the prime rate, one-month LIBOR rate, three-month LIBOR rate, six-month
LIBOR rate or 12-month LIBOR rate at the initial debt draw date and interest rate contract end date plus an applicable margin. The applicable
margin is based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement and as of December 31, 2008 was 1.75%. Our leverage ratio increases
to 2.0% in 2009 due to the increase in our outstanding debt. As of December 31, 2008, our weighted average interest rate was calculated at
3.97%. Based on borrowings of $105.0 million, as of December 31, 2008, for each percentage point increase in the interest rate, annual interest
expense would increase $1.0 million.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Eclipsys Corporation:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Eclipsys Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the
Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria
established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on
these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our
integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our
audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of
internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Eclipsys Corporation (“Eclipsys” or the “Company,” “We,” “Us” or “Our”) is a healthcare information technology company and a leading
provider of advanced integrated clinical, revenue cycle and performance management software, and professional services that help healthcare
organizations improve their clinical, financial, and operational outcomes. We provide our products and services principally in the U.S. and
Canada and have recently expanded our operations to markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The Company develops and licenses
proprietary software and content that is designed for use in connection with many of the key clinical, financial and operational functions that
healthcare organizations require. Among other things, the software enables physicians, nurses and other clinicians to coordinate care through
shared electronic medical records, place orders and access and share information about patients. The software also helps clients optimize their
healthcare revenue cycle, including patient admissions, scheduling, invoicing, inventory control and cost accounting, in addition to providing
records maintenance and assessment of the profitability of specific medical procedures and personnel. Clinical content, which is integrated
with our software, provides information for use by physicians, nurses and other clinicians.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Eclipsys and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company
transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Eclipsys manages its business as
one reportable segment. Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current
year presentation. In addition, the Company has revised the presentation of certain prior year deferred tax asset and liabilities to offset $28.7
million of those arising in the same tax jurisdiction. These reclassifications and revisions did not affect total revenue, or operating income.
Segment Information
The Company follows SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” SFAS 131 requires that a company
report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise for
which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker currently evaluates the Company’s operations from a
number of different operational perspectives including but not limited to a client by client basis. The Company derives all significant revenues
from a single reportable operating segment of business, healthcare information technology. Accordingly, the Company does not report more
than one segment; nevertheless, management evaluates, at least annually, whether the Company continues to have one single reportable
segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts,
revenues recognized, the amounts recorded for capitalized software development costs and related useful lives, stock-based compensation,
the valuation of ARS and the related put option, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and acquired intangible assets and the related
impact on goodwill.
Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
59
Table of Contents
Restricted Cash
The restricted cash balance was $2.0 million as of December 31, 2007 and represented collateral to secure a letter of credit for our Atlanta
facility. The restricted cash balance was zero as of December 31, 2008 given that the letter of credit, as of December 31, 2008, is secured by our
credit facility.
Marketable Securities
The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities.” The Company determines the appropriate classification of all marketable securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading
at the time of purchase, and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. Unrealized gains and losses on securities classified
as available-for-sale are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity, and unrealized
gains and losses on securities classified as trading are reported in earnings. The Company uses the specific identification method to determine
the cost basis in computing realized gains and losses on the sale of its available-for-sale securities. As of December 31, 2007, $168.9 million of
our marketable securities investments were investments in ARS and were classified as current. As of December 31, 2008 our total investments
in ARS of $103.9 million were recorded as long-term investments. See Note D – Investments.
Accounts Receivable and Unbilled Receivables

The timing of revenue recognition and contractual billing terms under certain multiple element arrangements may not precisely coincide,
resulting in the recording of unbilled accounts receivable or deferred revenue. Client payments are due under these arrangements in varying
amounts primarily upon the achievement of certain contractual milestones throughout the implementation periods, which generally range from
12 to 36 months. The current portion of unbilled accounts receivable is included in accounts receivable.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

In evaluating the collectability of our accounts receivable, we assess a number of factors, including a specific client’s ability to meet its
financial obligations to us, as well as general factors, such as the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection
experience. Based on these assessments, we record a reserve for specific account balances as well as a reserve based on our historical
experience for bad debt to reduce the related receivables to the amount we ultimately expect to collect from clients. If circumstances related to
specific clients change, or economic conditions deteriorate such that our past collection experience is no longer relevant, our estimate of the
recoverability of our accounts receivable could be further reduced from the levels provided for in the consolidated financial statements.
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives, which generally range from 3 to 7 years. Computer equipment is depreciated over 5 years. Office equipment is depreciated over 7
years. Purchased software for internal use is amortized over 3 years. Expenditures for our resource planning system are depreciated over 8
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives of the assets or the remaining term of the lease. When assets
are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or
loss is reflected in income. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance not considered to substantially lengthen the property and equipment
lives are charged to expense as incurred.
Capitalized Software Development Costs and Acquired Technology

We capitalize a portion of our computer software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility. These
costs include salaries, benefits, consulting and other directly related costs incurred in connection with programming and testing software.
Capitalization ceases when the software is generally released for sale to clients. Capitalized software development costs were $18.2 million,
$20.9 million, and $14.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. These costs are amortized over the greater
of (i) the ratio of current revenues to total and anticipated future revenues for the applicable software or (ii) the straight-line method over three
years. During 2008, 2007, 2006 all our capitalized software costs were amortized over a three year period. Amortization of capitalized software
development costs, which is included in costs of systems and services revenues, was $18.7 million, $15.0 million, and $17.5 million for the years
ended December 31, 2008,
60
Table of Contents
2007, and 2006, respectively. Accumulated amortization of capitalized software development costs was $32.4 million and $23.8 million as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Acquired technology is amortized over its estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.
Amortization of acquired technology is included in the cost of systems and services. Management monitors the net realizable value of
development costs and acquired technology to ensure that the investment will be recovered through future revenues.
Intangible Assets, including Goodwill

SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” classifies intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite
lives subject to amortization; (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization; and (3) goodwill. For intangible assets with
definite lives, tests for impairment must be performed if conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For intangible
assets with indefinite lives and goodwill, tests for impairment must be performed at least annually or more frequently if events or
circumstances indicate that assets might be impaired. Our acquired technology and other intangible assets determined to have definite lives
are amortized over their useful lives. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, if conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be
recoverable, we review such intangible assets with definite lives for impairment. Such conditions may include an economic downturn in a
market or a change in the assessment of future operations. Goodwill is not amortized. We perform tests for impairment of goodwill annually, or
more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it might be impaired. We have only one reporting unit for which all goodwill is assigned.
Impairment tests for goodwill include comparing the fair value of the company compared to the comparable carrying value, including goodwill.
No impairment has been identified or recorded in 2008, 2007 or 2006.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including separate and identifiable intangible assets, are reviewed for potential impairment at such time that events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. Any impairment loss would be recognized
when the sum of the expected, undiscounted net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If an asset is impaired, the asset is
written down to its estimated fair value. We did not record any impairment of long-lived assets in 2008, 2007 or 2006.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and other current liabilities,
approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are derived from licensing of computer software; software and hardware maintenance; professional services (including
implementation, integration, training and consulting); remote hosting; outsourcing; network services; and the sale of computer hardware. With
the exception of hardware revenues, we classify our revenues in one caption (systems and services) in our statement of operations since the
amount of license revenue related to traditional software contracts is less than 10% of total revenues and the remaining revenue types
included in this caption relate to software maintenance, services and bundled subscription arrangements that have similar attribution patterns
for revenue recognition.
We generally contract under multiple element arrangements, which include software license fees, hardware and services including
implementation, integration, training and software maintenance, for periods of 3 to 7 years. We evaluate revenue recognition on a contract-by-
contract basis as the terms of each arrangement vary. The evaluation of our contractual arrangements often requires judgments and estimates
that affect the timing of revenue recognized in our statements of operations. Specifically, we may be required to make judgments about:
• whether the fees associated with our software and services are fixed or determinable;
• whether collection of our fees is considered probable;
• whether professional services are essential to the functionality of the related software;
61
Table of Contents
• whether we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates in the application of the percentage-of-completion method;
and
• whether we have verifiable objective evidence of fair value for our software and services.
We recognize revenues in accordance with the provisions of SOP 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9, SAB 104
“Revenue Recognition,” and EITF 00-21 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” SOP 97-2 and SAB 104 require among other
matters, that there be a signed contract evidencing that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable,
collectibility is probable, and remaining obligations under the agreement are insignificant.
Contracts with our clients can include multiple element arrangements that provide for multiple software modules including the rights to
unspecified future versions and releases we may offer within the software suites the client purchases or rights to unspecified software
versions that support different hardware or operating platforms, and that do not qualify as exchange rights. We refer to these arrangements as
subscription contracts. Additionally, we sometimes enter into multiple element arrangements that do not include these rights to unspecified
future software or platform protection rights. We refer to these arrangements as traditional software contracts. Finally, we offer much of our
software and services on a stand-alone basis. Revenue under each of these arrangements is recognized as set forth below:
Subscription Contracts
Our subscription contracts typically include the following elements:
• Maintenance;
Software license fees are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, commencing upon the delivery of the software provided that
(1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) the fee is fixed or determinable and (3) collection of our fee is considered probable. The value of the
software is determined using the residual method pursuant to SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With
Respect to Certain Transactions.” These contracts contain the rights to unspecified future software within the suite purchased and/or
unspecified platform transfer rights that do not qualify for exchange accounting. Accordingly, these arrangements are accounted for pursuant
to paragraphs 48 and 49 of SOP 97-2. Under certain arrangements, we capitalize related direct costs consisting of third party software costs and
direct software implementation costs. These costs are amortized over the term of the arrangement.
In the case of maintenance revenues, vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value is based on substantive renewal prices, and the
revenues are recognized ratably over the maintenance period.
In the case of professional services revenues, VSOE is based on prices from stand-alone sale transactions, and the revenues are recognized as
services are performed pursuant to paragraph 65 and 66 of SOP 97-2.
Third party hardware revenues are recognized upon delivery, pursuant to SAB 104.
For remote hosting services, where VSOE is based upon consistent pricing charged to clients based on volumes and performance
requirements on a stand-alone basis and substantive renewal terms, revenues are recognized ratably over the contract term as the services are
performed. Our remote hosting arrangements generally require us to perform one-time set-up activities and include a one-time set-up fee. This
one-time set-up fee is generally paid by the client at contract execution. We have determined that these set-up activities do not constitute a
separate unit of accounting, and accordingly the related set-up fees are recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
We consider the applicability of EITF 00-3, “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, to
Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware,” to our remote hosting services arrangements on
a contract-by-contract basis. If we determine that the client has the contractual right to take possession of our software at any time during the
hosting period without significant penalty,
62
Table of Contents
and can feasibly run the software on its own hardware or enter into another arrangement with a third party to host the software, a software
element covered by SOP 97-2 exists. When a software element exists in a remote hosting services arrangement, we recognize the license,
professional services and remote hosting services revenues pursuant to SOP 97-2, whereby the fair value of the remote hosting service is
recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the remote hosting contract. If we determine that a software element covered by SOP 97-2 is not
present in a remote hosting services arrangement, we recognize revenue for the remote hosting services arrangement ratably over the term of
the remote hosting contract pursuant to SAB 104.
Traditional Software Contracts

We enter into traditional multiple-element arrangements that can include the following elements:
• Maintenance;
Revenue for each of the elements is recognized as follows:

Software license fees are recognized upon delivery of the software provided that (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) the fee is fixed or
determinable and (3) collection of our fee is considered probable. For those arrangements in which the fee is not considered fixed or
determinable, the software license revenue is recognized as the payments become due. For arrangements where VSOE only exists for the
undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements (software license revenue) using the residual method in accordance with SOP 98-
9.
In addition to the software license fees, these contracts may also contain maintenance, professional services and hardware or remote hosting
services. VSOE and revenue recognition for these elements is determined using the same methodology as noted above for subscription
contracts.
Software Contracts Requiring Contract Accounting

We enter into certain multiple element arrangements containing milestone provisions in which the professional services are considered
essential to the functionality of the software. Under these arrangements, software license fees and professional service revenues are
recognized using the percentage-of-completion method over the implementation period which generally ranges from 12 to 36 months. Under
the percentage-of-completion method, revenue and profit are recognized throughout the term of the implementation based upon estimates of
total labor hours incurred and revenues to be generated over the term of the implementation. Changes in estimates of total labor hours and the
related effect on the timing of revenues and profits are recognized in the period in which they are determinable. Accordingly, changes in these
estimates could occur and have a material effect on our operating results in the period of change.
Stand-Alone Software and Services

We also market certain software and services on a stand-alone basis, including the following:
• Maintenance;
• Professional services;
• Hardware;
• Outsourcing; and
• Remote Hosting services.
Revenues related to such software and services are recognized as follows:
Software license fees and maintenance marketed on a stand-alone basis may be licensed either under traditional contracts or under
subscription arrangements. Software license fees under traditional contracts are recognized pursuant to SOP 97-2 when the following criteria
are met, delivery of the software has occurred, persuasive
63
Table of Contents
evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Under subscription agreements for stand-alone
software, license fees are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. With respect to maintenance, VSOE is determined based on
substantive renewal prices contained in the contracts. Maintenance is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
Professional services represent incremental services marketed to clients including implementation, consulting, and training services.
Professional services revenues, where VSOE is based on prices from stand-alone transactions are recognized as services are performed.
Hardware revenue is recognized upon delivery pursuant to SAB 104.
We provide outsourcing services to our clients. Under these arrangements we assume full, partial or transitional responsibilities for a
healthcare organization’s IT operations using our employees. Our outsourcing services include facilities management, network outsourcing
and transition management. These arrangements typically range from five to ten years in duration. Revenues from these arrangements are
recognized when services are performed.
Remote hosting contracts that are sold on a stand alone basis are recognized ratably over the contract term pursuant to SAB 104. Our remote
hosting arrangements generally require us to perform one-time set-up activities and include a one-time set-up fee. This one-time set-up fee is
generally paid by the client at contract execution. We have determined that these set-up activities do not constitute a separate unit of
accounting, and accordingly we recognize the related set-up fees ratably over the term of the contract.
The Company records reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses in both systems and services revenues and as a direct cost of system and services
in accordance with EITF 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred. In
2008, 2007, and 2006 reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses were $11.7 million, $11.6 million, $9.0 million, respectively.
Network service arrangements include the assessment, assembly and delivery of a wireless network which may include wireless carts or other
wireless equipment to the client. Our network services arrangements are sold to a client for a fixed fee. All services are performed prior to the
delivery of the equipment. These contracts are typically 60 to 90 days in length and are recognized pursuant to SAB 104, upon the delivery of
the network to the client. We exited the network services business in 2007.
Costs of Revenues
The principal costs of systems and services revenues are salaries, benefits and related overhead costs for implementation, maintenance,
remote hosting and outsourcing personnel. Other significant costs include third party costs, software rental and maintenance and the
amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology intangible assets. Capitalized software development costs are
generally amortized over three years on a straight-line basis commencing upon general release of the related software, or are based on the ratio
that current revenues bear to total anticipated revenues for the applicable software. Acquired technology is amortized over three to five years
based upon the estimated economic life of the underlying asset. Cost of revenues related to hardware sales includes our cost to acquire the
hardware from the manufacturer.
Shipping Costs
In accordance with EITF 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees,” the Company classifies the re-imbursement by clients of
shipping and handling costs as revenue and the associated cost as cost of revenue.
Sales Taxes
In accordance with EITF 06-3, “How Sales Taxes Collected from Clients and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the
Income Statement (That is, Gross Versus Net Presentation),” the Company reports sales taxes collected from clients and remitted to
governmental authorities on a net basis, that is both the sales tax expense and the associated re-imbursement by clients are classified as
expenses.

Table of Contents

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and
related overhead, as well as consulting costs related to design, development and testing of new software.
We capitalize certain software development costs subsequent to attaining technological feasibility. These costs are amortized as an element of
the cost of systems and services.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes and corresponding balance sheet accounts are determined in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for
Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between
the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified
according to the financial statement classification of the net assets and liabilities generating the differences. The Company provides a
valuation allowance for that portion of deferred tax assets, which it cannot determine is more likely than not to be recognized.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”). This
interpretation clarifies the criteria for recognizing income tax benefits under FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and
requires additional disclosures about uncertain tax positions. Under FIN 48 the financial statement recognition of the benefit for a tax position
is dependent upon the benefit being more likely than not, based on its technical merits, to be sustainable upon audit by the applicable taxing
authority. If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is then measured and recognized at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of
being realized upon ultimate settlement. Upon adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, the Company recognized no increase in its liability for
unrecognized income tax benefits. The Company accounts for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component
of income tax expense.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, numerous states, Canada, India and Singapore. U.S. federal, state and Canada
jurisdictions are open to examination due to net operating loss carryforwards. India and Singapore jurisdictions are open to examination for
2006 and 2007, respectively.
We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with SFAS 123(R), as adopted effective January 1, 2006.
Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for our stock-based employee compensation arrangements under the intrinsic value method prescribed
by APB 25, as allowed by SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148. As a result, no expense was recognized for options to purchase our common
stock that were granted with an exercise price equal to fair market value at the date of grant and no expense was recognized in connection with
purchases under our employee stock purchase plan prior to January 1, 2006.
We elected to adopt SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized during the period
includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant
date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 amortized over the awards’ vesting period, and
(b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R) amortized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period. The fair value of stock
options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with weighted average assumptions for the activity
under our stock plans. Option pricing model input assumptions such as expected term, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate, impact the
fair value estimate. Further, the forfeiture rate impacts the amount of aggregate compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally
require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions were based on or determined from
external data (for example, the risk free interest rate) and other assumptions were derived from our historical experience with share-based
payment arrangements (for example, volatility and expected term). The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of
judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. Pro forma results for 2005 have not been restated.
We have elected to use the simplified method for estimating our expected term equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the
contractual term as allowed by SAB 107, “Share-Based Payment.” SAB 110, “Year-End Help
65
Table of Contents
for Expensing Employee Stock Options,” requires the use of historical data to estimate an expected term, unless the terms of our share-option
grants have significantly changed, for options granted after December 31, 2007. The grants the Company issued after December 31, 2007 have
a contractual term of 7 years, which differs from the contractual term of the historical grants (generally 10 years). Therefore, we do not have
sufficient historical data to estimate the expected term for current option issuances. Accordingly, we continue to use the simplified method.
Additionally, this reduction in contractual term has lowered our assumption of our expected term.
We currently estimate volatility by using the weighted average historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free interest rate is the
implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term input to the Black-
Scholes model. We estimate forfeitures using a weighted average historical forfeiture rate. Our estimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the
requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from our estimate.
Concentration of Credit Risk

Our clients operate primarily in the healthcare industry. We sell our software and services under contracts with varying terms. The accounts
receivable amounts are unsecured. We believe that the allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient to cover credit losses. Revenue related to
one of our customers represented 10.7%, 10.3% and 8.1% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 respectively.
Foreign Currency
Our financial position and results of operations of our subsidiaries, with the exception of our subsidiary in India, are measured using the
currency of the respective countries as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the
balance sheet date, while revenue and expenses for the year are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during the year. Translation
gains and losses are not included in determining net income or loss but are accumulated and reported as a separate component of
stockholders’ equity.
The functional currency of our Indian subsidiary is the U.S. dollar, with monetary assets and liabilities remeasured into U.S. dollars at year-end
exchange rates, and revenues and expenses remeasured at average rates prevailing during the year.
We have not entered into any hedging contracts during the three-year period ended December 31, 2008.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Standards
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161,
“Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of SFAS No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 seeks to
improve financial reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures regarding the impact on
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 requires: (1) the disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments and
gains and losses in a tabular format; (2) the disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related; and (3) cross-referencing within the
footnotes. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. We currently do not believe this standard will have a material impact on
our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R continues to require
the purchase method of accounting to be applied to all business combinations, but it significantly changes the accounting for certain aspects
of business combinations. Under SFAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141R will change the accounting treatment for certain specific
acquisition related items including: (1) expensing acquisition related costs as incurred; (2) valuing noncontrolling interests at fair value at the
acquisition date; and (3) expensing restructuring costs associated with an acquired business. SFAS 141R also includes a substantial number
of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141R is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160
establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.
It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (minority interest) is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent company’s equity. This statement is effective for us
on January 1, 2009. We currently do not believe this standard will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
67
Table of Contents
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” This FSP
amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a
recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The intent of this FSP is to improve the
consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to
measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R and other United States generally accepted accounting principles. This FSP shall be
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We
currently do not believe that this FSP will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating
securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-
class method. This FSP shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods
within those years. The share-based payment awards that are granted by the Company contain dividend rights that are forfeitable on unvested
shares; therefore, we do not expect this FSP to have a material impact on our calculation of EPS.
Recently Adopted Standards

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS
159 allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value
option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is
elected for an instrument, SFAS 159 specifies that unrealized gains and losses for that instrument be reported in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. SFAS 159 was effective for us on January 1, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, we applied the fair value option to our auction rate
securities put option, which resulted in an initial $3.3 million gain recorded on the income statement. We did not apply the fair value option to
any other of our outstanding instruments.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a
framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods of those fiscal
years. We adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. Our most significant asset that is adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis is our long-term
investments.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” which delays the effective date of SFAS
No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Therefore, in accordance with the
aforementioned FSP, we have only partially applied SFAS 157. Beginning January 1, 2009 we will also apply SFAS 157 to all nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis as required
by SFAS 157. We do not expect the further application of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on our financial statements. See Note E – Fair
Value Measurement.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not
Active” which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in
determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. Some of the key principles illustrated
include:
• determining fair value in a dislocated market depends on facts and circumstances, and may require the use of significant judgment
about whether individual market transactions are forced liquidations or distressed sales and therefore poor indicators of fair value;
• when relevant observable market data is not available, the use of assumptions about future cash flows and discount rates may be
appropriate in determining fair value; and
• the value of broker quotes in determining fair value depends on facts and circumstances, particularly when an active market does
not exist.
FSP 157-3 is effective immediately, including with respect to prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. As of January
2008, the Company has consistently used the methodology described in this FSP in calculating the fair value of its auction rate securities.

NOTE C - BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

For all periods presented, basic and diluted earnings per common share is presented in accordance with SFAS 128, “Earnings per Share,”
which provides for the accounting principles used in the calculation of earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by
dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period. Non-vested restricted stock carries dividend and voting rights and, in accordance with GAAP, is not included in the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding used to compute basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per common share reflect the potential
dilution from assumed conversion of all dilutive securities, such as stock options and unvested restricted stock, using the treasury stock
method. When the effect of the outstanding equity securities is anti-dilutive, they are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per
common share. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 3,585,844, 2,534,981 and 2,720,448 anti-dilutive shares were excluded
from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share, respectively. The earnings amounts used for per-share calculations are the same for
both the basic and diluted methods.
The computations of the basic and diluted earnings per common share were as follows:

Total $ 107,369 $ 168,925
(1) These securities are classified as trading, and the changes in fair value of these securities are included in earnings.
(2) As of December 31, 2008 the maturity date of our Goldman purchased ARS range from August 1, 2027 to November 1, 2047. These
securities are classified as available for sale, and the changes in fair value of these securities are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income.
(3) Our auction rate securities put option is exercisable from June 30, 2010 to July 30, 2012. We have accounted for the put option as a
freestanding financial instrument and elected to record the value under the fair value option of SFAS No. 159. Therefore, the changes in
fair value of the put option are included in earnings.
(4) As of December 31, 2008 the maturity date of our other securities is less than one year. These securities are classified as available for
sale, and the changes in fair value of these securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. As these securities are
currently in an unrealized gain position, they have not been evaluated for impairment.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company held approximately $116.6 million par value of investments in auction-rate securities (“ARS”) of which
$36.3 million was purchased through UBS Financial Services (“UBS”) and $80.3 million was purchased through Goldman Sachs. As of
December 31, 2008, our ARS purchased through UBS are entirely comprised of “AAA” rated pools of student loans, and our ARS purchased
through Goldman Sachs are comprised of $64.8 million of “AAA” rated pools of student loans and $15.5 million of “Baa3” rated pools of
student loans. These investments have long-term nominal maturities for which the interest rates are supposed to be reset through a Dutch
auction each month. Prior to February 2008, monthly auctions historically provided a liquid market for these securities. However, in February
2008, the broker-dealers managing the Company’s ARS portfolio experienced failed auctions of certain of these securities where the amount of
securities submitted for sale exceeded the amount of purchase orders. Our ARS continued to fail to settle at auctions through the fourth
quarter of 2008.
70
Table of Contents
The Company continues to earn interest on these investments at the contractual rate. In April 2008, a partial call transaction was closed related
to one of our ARS, as a result of which we received proceeds of $4.6 million. In May 2008, a call transaction was closed related to another one
of our ARS securities, as a result of which we received proceeds of $14.3 million. Each of these two transactions resulted in a recovery of the
full par value of the securities. On November 12, 2008, we entered into a settlement agreement with UBS pursuant to which the Company
(1) received the right (the “put option”) to sell its ARS, originally purchased through UBS, at par value, to UBS between June 30, 2010 and
July 2, 2012 and (2) gave UBS the right to purchase the ARS, originally purchased through UBS, from the Company any time after the
acceptance date of the settlement agreement as long as the Company receives the par value of the securities.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company has recorded these investments, including the put option, at their estimated fair value of $107.2 million.
All of our ARS were at an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2008. Due to events in the credit markets, quoted prices in active markets
are not readily available at this time. A third-party appraisal firm provided an estimate of the fair value of the ARS and the put option held as of
December 31, 2008. In order to validate the fair value estimate of these securities and the put option for reporting, the Company considered the
appraiser’s pricing model which included factors such as credit quality, duration, insurance wraps, assumptions about future cash flows and
likelihood of redemption. The Company concluded that the pricing model, given the lack of market available pricing, provided a reasonable
basis for determining fair value of the ARS and the put option as of December 31, 2008.
The Company has accounted for the put option as a freestanding financial instrument and elected to record the value under the fair value
option of SFAS No. 159. This resulted in the recording of a $3.3 million asset with a corresponding credit to income for the value of the put
option for the year ended December 31, 2008. Simultaneously, the Company made an election pursuant to SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS 115”), to transfer the related auction rate securities from available-for-sale to
trading securities. The transfer resulted in the reversal of prior unrealized losses, net of taxes, on the UBS purchased ARS from accumulated
other comprehensive income and the recognition of the unrealized losses as a charge to income of $3.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2008. The Company expects that the future changes in the fair value of the put option will be offset by the fair value movements in the related
ARS. We have recorded a temporary loss on the ARS purchased through Goldman Sachs of $8.8 million, as of December 31, 2008, in
accumulated other comprehensive income, reflecting the decline in the fair value of these securities, as these securities remain classified as
available for sale. The Company has concluded that no other-than-temporary impairment losses occurred for the year ended December 31, 2008
related to these securities because the Company believes that the declines in fair value that have occurred during 2008 are due to recent market
liquidity conditions.
The following table shows the gross unrealized losses of fair value of the Company’s investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed
to be other-than-temporarily impaired (in thousands), aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have
been in a continuous unrealized loss position, as of December 31, 2008. The table excludes ARS purchased through UBS, as these investments
are classified as trading securities.

Table of Contents
We believe these investments continue to be of high credit quality, and we currently plan to hold the ARS until such time as successful
auctions occur, secondary markets allow for a sufficient price to recover substantially all of our par value, or our put option becomes
exercisable. Accordingly, we have classified these securities as long-term investments in our consolidated balance sheet. The Company will
continue to analyze its ARS each reporting period for impairment and it may be required to record an impairment charge in the consolidated
statement of operations if the decline in fair value of the Goldman Sachs purchased ARS are determined to be other-than-temporary.
NOTE E - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

We measure our financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with SFAS 157. The fair value framework prescribed in SFAS 157
requires the categorization of assets into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to determine the estimated fair value of the
assets. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The
three levels are defined as follows:
• Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or
quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets.
• Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in estimating the value of the asset.
The following table summarizes our financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with SFAS 157 as of
December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

(1) Our auction rate securities, categorized as level 3, were $166.2 million as of December 31, 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2008,
net purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements totaled $49.1 million. In addition, we recorded an unrealized loss of $12.7 million on our
ARS for the year ended December 31, 2008. Of this $12.7 million unrealized loss, $3.9 million has been recorded on the income statement in
the line item “Gain (Loss) on Investments” and $8.8 million has been recorded on the balance sheet as a component of other
comprehensive income. See Note D for further information. We also received $0.5 million of interest receivable that was included in prior
year’s ending balance.
(2) Our put option, categorized as level 3, became effective November 2008 and was recorded as a $3.3 million asset with a corresponding
unrealized gain to “Gain (Loss) on Investments” for the value of the put option for the year ended December 31, 2008.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company has recorded these investments at their estimated fair value of $198.2 million. Due to events in credit
markets quoted prices in active markets are not readily available at this time for our ARS and put option. A third-party appraisal firm provided
an estimate of the fair value of the ARS and the put option held as of December 31, 2008. In order to validate the fair value estimate of these
securities and the put option for reporting, the Company considered the appraiser’s pricing model which included factors such as credit
quality, duration, insurance wraps, assumptions about future cash flows and likelihood of redemption. The Company concluded that the
pricing model, given the lack of market available pricing, provided a reasonable basis for determining fair value of the ARS and the put option
as of December 31, 2008. The assumptions that were used in the model were highly subjective and therefore considered level 3 unobservable
inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of these assets represents $107.2 million or 54.1% of total assets measured at fair value in
accordance with SFAS 157. The estimate of the fair value of the ARS we hold could change significantly based on future market conditions.

As of December 31, 2008, $58.3 million of our money market funds held at Evergreen Investments have been guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury
Money Market Guarantee Program. The plan ensures that if a participating fund’s share value declines under $1.00 and a decision is made to
liquidate by the fund’s Board of Trustees, the U.S. Treasury would cover any shortfall between the share price at the time of liquidation and
$1.00 for investors as of September 19, 2008. This guarantee is effective until April 30, 2009.

The Company’s intangible assets originated from acquisitions. The Company used an independent third-party appraiser at the time of
acquisition to determine the value of the acquired intangible assets.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we acquired intangible assets of $43.1 million, $8.1 million, and $2.7 million related to acquired
technology, ongoing customer relationships and other, respectively, in connection with the acquisitions of EPSi, MediNotes, and Premise.
Amortization expense was $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, comprised of $5.3 million for acquired technology, $1.4 million for
client relationships, and $0.4 million for other intangible assets.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, we disposed of intangible assets of $0.9 million in connection with the sale of our CPMRC business.
Amortization expense was $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, comprised of $0.6 million for acquired technology and $1.1 million
for client relationships.
Amortization expense was $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, comprised of $0.4 million for acquired technology and $0.9 million

NOTE J - STOCK-COMPENSATION PLANS

2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan
At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held June 11, 2008, our stockholders approved the 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the 2008 Plan. The
maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2008 Plan (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and
other similar events) is 4,164,364 shares. Any shares of common stock that are subject to options or stock appreciation rights (“SARs”)
granted under the 2008 Plan shall be counted against this limit as one share of common stock for every share granted, and in the amount of 1.6
shares of common stock for every share that is subject to awards other than options or SARs. In addition, if any shares of common stock
subject to an award under the 2008 Plan, or after December 31, 2007, any shares of common stock subject to an award under our 2005 Stock
Incentive Plan, are forfeited, expire or are settled for cash, the shares subject to the award may be used again for awards under the 2008 Plan, in
the amount of one share of common stock for every share that was subject to options or SARs and in the amount of 1.6 shares of common
stock for every share that was subject to awards other than options or SARs.
We expect to satisfy option exercises by issuing shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2008, there were approximately
3,873,070 shares available for future awards under the 2008 Plan.
2005 Inducement Grant Stock Incentive Plan

In October 2005, our Board of Directors approved the 2005 Inducement Grant Stock Incentive Plan (the “Inducement Grant Plan”) for use in
making inducement grants of stock options and restricted stock to new employees pursuant to the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. This
Inducement Grant Plan is substantially similar to our 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan as approved by stockholders, except that eligible recipients
are limited to prospective and newly hired employees of the Company, consistent with its purpose as an employment inducement tool.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we issued 106,800 stock options as inducement grants under the Inducement Grant Plan to founders
and employees of EPSi; and 342,714 shares of restricted stock to founders and employees of EPSi, MediNotes, and Premise all associated with
their continued employment.
Awards granted under the 2008 Plan, the Prior Plans and the Inducement Grant Plan generally have a contractual life of 7 to 10 years and
generally vest over a 4 to 5 year period.
Stock-Options Awards
Stock-option awards granted by the Company entitle recipients to purchase shares of Eclipsys common stock within prescribed periods at a
price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. A summary of stock option transactions is as follows:

As of December 31, 2008, $23.2 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of 2.97 years.

Table of Contents
The weighted average grant date fair value of our employee stock options granted was $8.37, $12.63 and $15.11 per option during the years
ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The intrinsic value of shares exercised was $4.0 million, $8.8 million and $30.5 million
during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The weighted average fair value of outstanding stock options has been estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The following are significant weighted average assumptions used for estimating the fair value of the activity under our stock option
plans:
Ye ars En de d De ce m be r 31,
2008 2007 2006
Expected term (in years) 4.58 5.91 6.46
Risk free interest rate 2.53% 4.31% 4.99%
Expected volatility 47.2% 59.3% 77.1%
Dividend yield 0% 0% 0%
We use the simplified method for estimating our expected term equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term as
allowed by Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, “Share-Based Payment.”
Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, “Year-End Help for Expensing Employee Stock Options,” for options granted after December 31, 2007 requires
the use of historical data to estimate an expected term unless the company significantly changes the terms of its share-option grants. The
grants the Company issued after December 31, 2007 have a contractual term of 7 years, which differs from the contractual term of the historical
grants (generally 10 years). Therefore, we do not have sufficient historical data to estimate the expected term for current option issuances.
Accordingly, we continue to use the simplified method. Additionally, this reduction in contractual term has lowered our assumption of our
expected term.
We currently estimate volatility by using the historical volatility of our common stock.
The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the
expected term input to the Black-Scholes model.
We estimate forfeitures using a historical forfeiture rate. Our estimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period based on
the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from our estimate. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company elected
to change the application of the forfeiture rate used in the calculation of stock-based compensation expense which resulted in an incremental
expense of $1.5 million. In previous quarters, the Company applied a weighted average forfeiture rate which allocated or weighted the impact of
vested shares over the vesting period of the entire grant. Beginning with the third quarter of 2008, the Company applied the forfeiture rate
calculated for each respective vesting tranche which applies the impact of the vested shares to the respective vested tranche.
Non-Vested Restricted Stock

Non-vested restricted stock is sometimes granted by the Company. The restrictions lapse on a pro rata basis over a specified period of time,
generally four to five years. The grant date fair value per share of non-vested restricted stock, which is the stock price on the grant date, is
expensed on a straight-line basis over the period during which the restrictions lapse. The shares represented by restricted stock awards are
considered outstanding at the grant date, as the recipients are entitled to dividends and voting rights. A summary of restricted stock award
activity for the period is presented below:
W e ighte d

Compensation expense recorded for stock-based awards of restricted stock was $5.3 million, $2.3 million, and $2.6 million, for the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
As of December 31, 2008, $11.9 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested restricted awards is expected to be
recognized over a weighted average period of 2.54 years. The fair value of shares vested in each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007
and 2006 was $3.2 million, $2.7 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
Deferred Stock Units

Effective May 10, 2006, we implemented a deferred stock unit plan to provide for equity compensation for our non-employee directors in the
form of deferred stock units, or DSUs. As of the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, each continuing non-employee
director receives a number of DSUs determined by dividing $125,000 by the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on
the grant date. These DSUs vest monthly over the course of the ensuing year. In addition, in connection with joining the Company’s Board of
Director, each new non-employee director receives a number of DSUs determined by dividing $75,000 by the fair market value of a share of the
Company’s common stock on the grant date. These inducement DSUs vest monthly over the course of the ensuing 24 months. Each new non-
employee director also receives a number of DSUs equal to the product of $11,000 and the number of full 30-day periods from the date of
election or appointment to the Board until the next regular scheduled annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. These initial
compensatory DSUs vest monthly over the course of the ensuing number of full 30-day month periods until the next regular scheduled annual
meeting of the Company’s stockholders. After cessation of board service, the Company will pay the DSUs by issuing to the former director a
number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the number of accumulated vested deferred stock units. A non-employee director
may also elect to receive DSUs in lieu of all or a portion of his or her cash fees. All DSUs received for cash fees are fully vested.
We granted 56,320, 24,086 and 26,459 deferred stock units at an average market value of $20.64, $23.44 and $18.91 during the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The value of these deferred stock units is amortized to compensation expense and director
fees ratably over the vesting period. Expense recorded for deferred stock units was $0.8 million, $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On June 29, 2005, our shareholders approved the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the 2005 Purchase Plan. In connection with the
approval, the Second Amended and Restated 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was terminated and no further awards will be made under
such plan. Under the provisions of the 2005 Purchase Plan, our employees may purchase shares of our stock at a purchase price of 95% of the
closing price of our stock on the final day of the yearly offering period as defined. There were 42,240 shares issued under the 2005 Purchase
Plan as a result of employee participation during the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition, during 2008, the Company decreased the
shares available for issuance under the 2005 Purchase Plan by 600,000 shares. As of December 31, 2008, there were 287,706 shares available for
future issuance under the 2005 Purchase Plan.
Employee Savings Plan

During 1997, we established a Savings Plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the Code, whereby employees may
contribute a percentage of their compensation, not to exceed the maximum amount allowable under the Code. At the discretion of our Board of
Directors, we may elect to make matching contributions, as defined in the Savings Plan. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006
we made matching contributions of approximately $1.7 million, $1.5 million, and $1.3 million, respectively.

NOTE K - LONG-TERM FINANCING

On August 26, 2008, we entered into a credit agreement pursuant to which we received a senior secured revolving credit facility in the
aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million. All loans under the credit facility may be prepaid at any time and are due and payable on the date
that is three years from the closing date subject to certain mandatory prepayment obligations upon material asset sales, as described in the
credit agreement. The credit facility includes a letter of credit subfacility of up to $10.0 million and a swingline loan subfacility of up to $5.0
million.
We borrowed $51.0 million under the credit facility at closing. Of the $51.0 million borrowed at closing, $50.3 million was used to repay all
borrowings plus interest under our prior $50.0 million credit facility (previously borrowed to fund our February 2008 acquisition of EPSi) dated
as of May 9, 2008 and $0.7 million was used to pay transaction costs. On October 1, 2008 we borrowed an additional $16.0 million against the
credit facility for our acquisition of MediNotes. On December 31, 2008 we borrowed an additional $38.0 million against the credit facility for our
acquisition of Premise.
The interest rate applicable to the borrowed amount is based, at our option, on the prime rate, one-month LIBOR rate, three-month LIBOR rate,
six-month LIBOR rate or 12-month LIBOR rate at the initial debt draw date and interest rate contract end date plus an applicable margin. The
applicable margin is based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement and as of December 31, 2008 was 1.75%. Our leverage ratio
increases to 2.0% in 2009 due to the increase in our outstanding debt. The effective interest rates at December 31, 2008 are as follows:
O u tstan ding De bt Inte re st Rate

$ 51,000 3.95%
16,000 3.97%
38,000 4.00%
$105,000 3.97%
We have also collateralized a letter of credit with $1.9 million of available principal and are incurring interest expense on the outstanding letter
of credit amount based on the applicable rate of 1.75% plus a 0.25% facing fee. We also incur interest on the unused principal balance based
on an applicable rate of 0.30%.
As of December 31, 2008, $18.1 million remains available for future borrowings. We believe these borrowings are currently available. However,
there can be no assurance that adequate liquidity would be available to finance extraordinary business opportunities. In addition, we may not
be able to draw on the full available balance of our $125.0 million credit facility if one or more of the financial institutions that have extended
credit commitments to us become unwilling or unable to fund such borrowings. In the current economic environment, the chance of a
syndicate bank failing to meet a funding commitment is less unlikely than under more normal circumstances, and our ability to replace a non-
funding bank in the syndicate is uncertain.

Table of Contents
The obligations under the credit facility are secured by first priority security interests in specified assets of Eclipsys, including cash, accounts
receivable, securities, and intellectual property. Under the credit facility, Eclipsys must comply with customary operating covenants and
financial covenants. The credit facility also contains other customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties,
indemnity provisions, and negative covenants. As of December 31, 2008 we are not in violation of any of the covenants under the credit
facility agreement.
The fair value of our debt approximates the carrying value of our debt due to the nature of our credit facility.
NOTE L - RESTRUCTURING
In October 2007, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to relocate its corporate headquarters from Boca Raton, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia.
The intent of the restructuring plan was to consolidate more of the Company’s operations in one location, reduce overhead costs, and provide
a more accessible location for existing and potential clients as well as employees. The charges related to this plan primarily consist of
severance-related expenses associated with the termination of impacted employees and include one-time employee-related benefits. The
restructuring charges have been recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as “restructuring charge.”

In January 2006, we effected a restructuring of our operations which included a reduction in headcount of approximately 100 individuals and
the reorganization of our Company. In December 2006, we realigned certain management resources and consolidated some facilities to
eliminate excess office space.
These activities resulted in total restructuring charges of $14.7 million, which were incurred in the year ended December 31, 2006. Severance
charges were $12.2 million, of which $2.8 million was for non-cash stock-based compensation. The excess office space consolidation resulted
in charges of $2.5 million related to the closing of three of our facilities. The remaining liability as of December 31, 2008 is expected to be paid
out through 2009.

As of December 31, 2008, we had U.S. net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $293.8 million. Of this
amount, $10.5 million expires in 2018 and $39.1 million expires in 2019; the balance expires in varying amounts through 2027. Of the total U.S.
net operating loss carry forward, approximately $96.1 million relates to stock option tax deductions which will be tax-effected and the benefit
credited as additional paid-in-capital when realized. Additionally, the Company has Canadian net operating loss carryovers of approximately
$27.7 million that expire in varying amounts through 2026. Our Indian subsidiary is entitled to a tax holiday which expires in 2009.
As a result of two acquisitions in 2008, the Company acquired a small amount of net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) that are subject to
the limitations of Code Section 382. We do not expect that the limitations placed on these acquired NOLs as a result of this change in
ownership will result in the expiration of these NOLs prior to their usage. However, future equity transactions could limit the utilization of all or
a portion of the Company’s existing NOLs if the transactions resulted in the Company triggering certain percentage ownership change
thresholds under Code Section 382.
The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability taking into consideration such factors as historical losses, projected
future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. SFAS 109 requires the Company to record a
valuation allowance when it is “more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.” It further states that
“forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent
years.” Since inception through September 30, 2008, the Company has maintained a 100% valuation allowance equal to the deferred U.S. tax
assets after considering the U.S. deferred tax assets that can be realized through offsets to existing taxable temporary differences.

Table of Contents
Based upon the Company’s results of operations in recent years, and its expected profitability in this and future years, the Company
concluded, effective September 30, 2008, that it was more likely than not that substantially all of its net U.S. deferred tax assets would be
realized. As a result, in accordance with SFAS 109, substantially all of the valuation allowance applied to such net deferred tax assets has been
reversed in 2008. Reversal of the valuation allowance resulted in a non-cash income tax benefit in 2008 totaling $86.9 million.
As of December 31, 2008, a valuation allowance of approximately $0.2 million has been established against the U.S. state and Canada deferred
tax assets that management does not believe are more likely than not to be realized. This determination is based primarily on the Company’s
projected expiration of net operating losses in various state jurisdictions. We will continue to assess the requirement for a valuation allowance
on a quarterly basis.
In the third quarter of 2008, the Company completed its analysis of research and development expenditures for eligibility to qualify for a
research and development (“R&D”) tax credit. Accordingly, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset and related tax benefit of $10.6 million.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company has total R&D tax credit carryforwards of $13.8 million. In 2019, $0.6 million of the R&D credits begin to
expire.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in Canada would be recovered from
future taxable income. Accordingly, in 2007, we recorded a tax benefit of approximately $5 million for the reversal of the tax valuation allowance
related to our Canadian operation.
Eclipsys intends to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been
recorded for the difference between its financial and tax basis investment in its foreign subsidiaries. If these earnings were distributed to the
U.S. in the form of dividends, or otherwise, the Company would have additional U.S. taxable income and, depending on the Company’s tax
posture in the year of repatriation, may have to pay additional U.S. income taxes. Withholding taxes may also apply to the repatriated earnings.
Determination of the amount of unrecognized income tax liability related to these permanently reinvested and undistributed foreign subsidiary
earnings is currently not practicable.
The Company uses the “with-and-without” or “incremental” approach for ordering tax benefits derived from the share-based payment of
awards. Using the with-and-without approach, actual income taxes payable for the period are compared to the amount of tax payable that
would have been incurred absent the deduction for employee share-based payments in excess of the amount of compensation cost recognized
for financial reporting. As a result of this approach, tax net operating loss carry forwards not generated from share-based payments in excess
of cost recognized for financial reporting are considered utilized before the current period’s share-based deduction.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”). This
interpretation clarifies the criteria for recognizing income tax benefits under FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and
requires additional disclosures about uncertain tax positions. Under FIN 48 the financial statement recognition of the benefit for a tax position
is dependent upon the benefit being more likely than not, based on its technical merits, to be sustainable upon audit by the applicable taxing
authority. If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is then measured and recognized at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of
being realized upon ultimate settlement. Upon adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, the Company recognized no increase in its liability for
unrecognized income tax benefits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the consolidated liability for unrecognized income
tax benefits during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows (in thousands):
2008 2007
Balance at January 1, 2008 $ 716 $—
Additions for tax positions of prior years 12,330 548
Additions for tax positions related to 2008 1,073 168
Reductions for tax positions of prior years (333) —
Settlements — —
Foreign currency translation (539) —
Balance at December 31, 2008 $13,247 $716
Of the $13.4 million of additions, $13.4 million would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in the respective period of change. The
Company accounts for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The liability for
uncertain income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 include interest and penalties of $2.8 million and $0.2 million,
respectively. The income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 includes interest and penalties of $2.6 million and $0.2
million, respectively.

The Company’s tax returns filed in multiple jurisdictions are subject to audit by taxing authorities. Years with net operating losses that can be
carried forward remain open for audit until the net operating loss is utilized or expires. As of December 31, 2008, the earliest years remaining
open for audit and/or settlement in our major taxing jurisdictions are as follows: United States – 1997 and Canada – 2002.
NOTE N - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On May 22, 2008, The McKenna System (“TMS”) filed in the 274th Judicial District Court, Comal County, Texas, a complaint against the
Company stemming from an agreement between the Company and McKenna Health System (“McKenna”) pursuant to which McKenna agreed
to acquire software and services from the Company. McKenna terminated that agreement on April 18, 2007. The complaint alleges various
causes of action essentially amounting to breach of contract for failing to meet contractual obligations related to the software sold and the
timeliness of implementation, and intentionally or negligently misleading McKenna. TMS has asserted damages of approximately $7.5 million,
and seeks multiple damages under various theories. The outcome of this case and its impact on the Company’s results of operations depend
upon questions of fact and law that are disputed or not clear and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time. The Company intends to
contest this matter vigorously, including defending the allegations and pursuing McKenna’s unfulfilled obligations to Eclipsys.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time parties to other legal proceedings, lawsuits and other
claims incident to their business activities. Such matters may include, among other things, assertions of contract breach or intellectual
property infringement, claims for indemnity arising in the course of our business and claims by persons whose employment with us has been
terminated. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, management is
unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability, amounts which may be covered by insurance or recoverable from third
parties, or the financial impact with respect to these other matters as of December 31, 2008. However, based on our knowledge as of
December 31, 2008, management believes that the final resolution of such other matters pending at the time of this report, individually and in
the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Non-cancelable Operating Leases

We lease office space and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Rental expense under operating leases was $13.4 million,
$11.7 million, and $8.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Future minimum rental payments under non-
cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2008 are as follows:

Thereafter 10,122

We have unconditional purchase obligations that consist of minimum purchase commitments for telecommunication services, computer
equipment, maintenance, consulting and other commitments. In aggregate, these obligations total approximately $121.4 million. These
obligations will require payments of $47.8 million in 2009, with the majority of the balance occurring within the next three years.
Indemnification clauses
Our standard software license agreements contain indemnification clauses that are limited in amount. Pursuant to these clauses, we indemnify,
hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. We account for these
clauses under FASB Staff Position FIN 45 45-1: Accounting for Intellectual Property Infringement Indemnifications under FASB Interpretation
No. 45. Accordingly, there are no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2008.

NOTE O - ACQUISITIONS
EPSi
On February 25, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Enterprise Performance Systems, Inc. (“EPSi”), a private company.
The aggregate purchase price was $57.1 million ($54.7 million net of cash acquired and transaction costs) and is subject to certain holdback
arrangements and working capital adjustments. EPSi is a provider of business intelligence solutions, including web-based software and related
consulting services that allow clients in the healthcare industry to improve financial performance and operational decision making. We
acquired EPSI to strengthen our position in providing clinical, operational and financial performance-improvement solutions that help
organizations manage the business of healthcare.
The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible assets, liabilities assumed, and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their
estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values was recorded as goodwill. The
fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired is determined using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash
flows to present value using estimates and assumptions determined by management. Purchased intangible assets are amortized on a straight-
line basis over the weighted-average respective useful lives based on an assessed pattern of use. For accounting purposes, the purchase price
is $54.7 million which includes $0.7 million of transaction costs and net of cash acquired of $2.4 million. Approximately $0.9 million of the
purchase price was allocated to in-process research and development and was charged to our income statement in the first quarter of 2008.
The resulting allocation of the purchase price is summarized below (in thousands):
$ Allocation Estim ate d

Am ou n t Use ful Live s
Net tangible assets acquired $ 2,961
Customer relationships 4,600 6 yrs.
Non-Compete agreements 1,210 3 yrs.
Acquired technology 13,260 4 yrs.
Goodwill 32,670
Purchase Price $ 54,701
For the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded amortization expense of $3.8 million related to intangible assets acquired in the EPSi
acquisition.
The $0.9 million acquired in-process research and development, discussed above, was valued using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method
by an independent appraisal firm. The material assumptions, underlying the purchase price allocation, were as follows: projected revenue
assumptions, decay rate, cost assumptions, operating expense assumptions, charge assumptions for the use of contributory assets, and
discount rate assumptions. At the date of acquisition, the technology was still in the research and development phase and had not yet been
completed to a point of an existing or current product offering. At the time of acquisition, the projected cost to complete the project was $0.2
million. The in-process technology was incorporated within an EPSi product module that was released in January 2009.
MediNotes
On October 2, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of MediNotes Corporation (“MediNotes”), a provider of physician
practice information solutions. In connection with the transaction, the Company was obligated to pay a total of approximately $45 million (net
of certain closing balance sheet adjustments) in exchange for the acquisition of MediNotes and the cancellation of a previous MediNotes’
royalty arrangement. All of the consideration for the cancellation of the royalty arrangement and 61% of the consideration for the acquisition
of MediNotes was payable in the form of Eclipsys common stock, and the balance of the consideration for the acquisition of MediNotes was
payable in cash. The common stock portion of the purchase price was based on the arithmetic mean of the last sale price of a share of Eclipsys
common stock on each of the 10 consecutive trading days ending two trading days immediately prior to the acquisition closing date. We
acquired MediNotes to support our strategy of providing a comprehensive set of solutions that help health systems better connect with
physicians, and physicians with their patients.
fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired is determined using the income approach, which discounts

expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and assumptions determined by management. Purchased intangible assets are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted-average respective useful lives based on an assessed pattern of use. For accounting
purposes, the purchase price is $45.1 million which includes $1.4 million of transaction costs and net of cash acquired of $0.1 million.

Tangible assets acquired $ (5,903)
Non-Compete agreements 1,030 2 yrs.
Goodwill 34,888
For the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded amortization expense of $1.0 million related to intangible assets acquired in the MediNotes
acquisition.
Premise
On December 31, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Premise Corporation (“Premise”), a privately held company,
expanding our portfolio of solutions that help our clients improve operational performance, which also includes EPSi software and our growing
portfolio of analytics solutions. The purchase price was $38.5 million cash, subject to certain holdback escrow provisions and working capital
adjustments. Premise is a provider of integrated and clinically focused software solutions and services that help optimize patient flow,
streamline communications, enhance operational efficiency, and empower knowledge-based decision making. We acquired Premise to expand
our portfolio of solutions that help our clients improve operational performance, which also includes EPSi software and our growing portfolio
of analytics solutions.
fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired is determined using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash
flows to present value using estimates and assumptions determined by management. Purchased intangible assets are amortized on a straight-

is $38.6 million which includes $1.1 million of transaction costs and net of cash acquired of $0.9 million.

NOTE P - SALE OF ASSETS

In December 2007, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Elsevier Inc. (“Elsevier”) pursuant to which Elsevier acquired
certain assets of our CPMRC business (including CPMRC’s proprietary clinical practice guidelines and related intellectual property), assumed
certain CPMRC content customer contracts and retained related CPMRC employees for $23.1 million in cash. The transaction resulted in a net
gain of $12.8 million in 2007 comprised of the following:
(in thousands):
Cash received $23,134

CPMRC earnout settlement payment (5,100)
Net assets sold (4,755)
Other costs (518)
Gain on sale $12,761
In connection with this transaction the Company, for $5.1 million, settled the remaining earnout obligation under the 2004 CPMRC acquisition
agreement and reflected this as a reduction of the gain on sale.
In addition to the aforementioned proceeds from sale, the CPMRC agreement allows for us to earn up to an additional $11.0 million through
2010 in the event Elsevier meets certain sales targets, we are successful in obtaining permission from a customer to transfer its contract to
Elsevier, and we complete certain minor data base application development for Elsevier. If these milestones are met, we would reflect any
contingent consideration received as additional gain on the sale of CPMRC. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we recognized $4.4 million
additional gain on the sale of CPMRC.
In connection with the sale, the Company and Elsevier entered into reseller and license agreements to allow Eclipsys to continue to acquire
CPMRC content and services from Elsevier in order to support existing and possible new customers who use Eclipsys’ Knowledge-Based
Charting software application, which contains the CPMRC content.
NOTE Q - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

License Agreement with Partners HealthCare System, Inc.
We have a license agreement with Partners HealthCare System, Inc., or Partners. Mr. Jay Pieper, a director of Eclipsys, is Vice President of
Corporate Development and Treasury Affairs for Partners. Under the terms of this license, we may develop, commercialize, distribute and
support certain technology of Partners, or the Partners’ Technology, and license it, as well as sell related services, to other healthcare
providers and hospitals throughout the world (with the exception of the Boston, Massachusetts metropolitan area). No royalties are payable
by us pursuant to the license with Partners.
In 2001, Partners entered into a contract with us for the license of a new Eclipsys software application and related professional services. This
new software application consisted of an upgrade to an existing software application that Partners had licensed from Transition Systems, Inc.,
an entity that was acquired by us in December 1998. Under this contract, Partners paid us the sums of $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $0.9 million,
in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, Partners owed us the sum of approximately $0.7 million related to this contract.
Mr. Pieper was not affiliated with Eclipsys at the time of the negotiation of the Partners license from Transition Systems, Inc. In December
2008, Partners also entered into a contract with us for the licensing, support, and implementation of our EPSi software solution. As of
December 31, 2008, no payments under this new agreement were owed by Partners to us.
Lease Agreement and Cost-Sharing Arrangement with BG Jet Corp.

Effective March 1, 2007, we entered into a Lease Agreement and a Cost Sharing Agreement, each with BG Jet Corp., and an Assignment and
Consent among Eclipsys, BG Jet Corp, NetJets Sales, Inc., NetJets Services, Inc. and NetJets Aviation, Inc. BG Jet Corp. is 50% owned by
Mr. Eugene Fife, one of our directors and the Chairman of our Board. The NetJets entities are affiliated companies that in the aggregate
provide a fractional aircraft interest and related services to BG Jet Corp. This arrangement had an initial term of 11 months and was renewed for
a subsequent one year term in February 2008 and the arrangement is being renewed for an additional one year term, effective February 1, 2009.
Either Eclipsys or BG Jet Corp. may terminate the arrangement if Mr. Fife’s service on our Board ceases, or as a result of a change in control of
Eclipsys, or upon loss of use of the aircraft that is subject to the fractional interest, or upon transfer of the fractional interest in whole or part
by BG Jet Corp.

1 In October 2005, our Board of Directors approved the 2005 Inducement Grant Stock Incentive Plan (the “Inducement Grant Plan”) for use
in making inducement grants of stock options and restricted stock to new employees pursuant to the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. This
Inducement Grant Plan was based upon and is substantially similar to our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan as approved by stockholders, except
that eligible recipients are limited to prospective and newly hired employees of the Company, consistent with its purpose as an
employment inducement tool. The Board initially authorized 1,200,000 shares under the Inducement Grant Plan, which was increased in
February 2008 by an additional 400,000 shares and in December 2008 by an additional 350,000 shares. As of December 31, 2008, a total of
1,950,000 shares were authorized under the Inducement Grant Plan.
2 Represents options which were granted as inducement hiring grants in accordance with NASDAQ rules to (i) Mr. Eckert as our President
and Chief Executive Officer in 2005; (ii) Mr. Deady as our Executive Vice President, Client Solutions in 2006; and (iii) to founders and
employees of Enterprise Performance Systems, Inc. in connection with our acquisition of that company in February 2008. These options
were issued pursuant to our 2005 Inducement Grant Stock Inducement Plan.
3 270,138 shares have been reserved for grants of inducement hiring stock options to founders and employees of Premise Corporation, to
be issued in the first quarter of 2009 in accordance with Eclipsys’ Stock Option Grant Guidelines.
4 The number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2008 included

(ii) each share of Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the
Per Share Common Consideration and (B) the Per Share Escrow Amount.
(d) Subject to Section 2.7(g), at the Effective Time, each Company Closing Payment Option then outstanding shall, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted without exercise only into and, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, represent only the right to receive, with respect to each share of Company Common
Stock then subject to purchase under such Company Closing Payment Option, an amount equal to the sum of cash equal to (without
interest):
(i) the Per Share Common Consideration less the exercise price per share of such Company Option (such difference, the
“Option Consideration”); and
(ii) the Per Share Escrow Amount.
19
(e) Subject to Section 2.7(g), at the Effective Time, each Company Warrant then outstanding shall by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted without exercise only into and, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, represent only the right to receive (without interest), with respect to:
(i) each share of Company Common Stock then subject to purchase under such Company Warrant, an amount equal to the
sum of cash equal to (A) the Per Share Common Consideration less the exercise price per share of such Company Warrant and
(B) the Per Share Escrow Amount; and
(ii) each share of Series B Preferred Stock then subject to purchase under such Company Warrant, an amount equal to the sum
of (A) the sum of the Series B Liquidation Preference and Per Share Common Consideration less the exercise price per share of such
Company Warrant and (B) the Per Share Escrow Amount.
(f) At the Effective Time, each Company Deferred Payment Option then outstanding shall be treated as set forth in Sections 2.9(e)
and 6.17.
(g) All Merger Consideration payable to an Effective Time Company Holder at any time pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall
be aggregated with all other Merger Consideration payable to such Effective Time Company Holder at such time and rounded to the
nearest whole cent. Escrow Merger Consideration and payments out of the Software Development Escrow Fund, if any, shall be paid to
the Effective Time Company Holders in their Pro Rata Portion (rounded to the nearest whole cent), as set forth in the Escrow Agreement.
2.8 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares (other than any Shares to be cancelled
pursuant to Section 2.7(a)) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Stockholder who has not voted in favor of the
Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive a portion of
the Merger Consideration unless and until such Stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal
and payment thereunder. If, after the Effective Time, any such Stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses such holder’s right to
appraisal, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the
portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.7(c), without interest. Premise shall give
Eclipsys (a) prompt notice of any demands received by Premise for appraisal of Shares, attempted written withdrawals of such demands, and
any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware law and received by Premise relating to a stockholders’ rights to appraisal with respect to
the Merger, and (b) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any exercise of such appraisal rights. Premise
shall not, except with the prior written consent of Eclipsys, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for payment for Capital
Stock of Premise, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.
2.9 Payment for Shares, Company Options and Company Warrants.

(a) (i) At or prior to the Effective Time, Eclipsys shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, make available to the Paying
Agent, for the benefit of the Effective Time Company Holders (other than the holders of Company Options, in their capacity as such), the
Closing Payment.
20
(ii) At or prior to the Effective Time, Eclipsys shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, make available to the Paying
Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Company Deferred Payment Options, the Deferred Payment Amount.
(iii) The “Closing Payment” shall be an amount equal to (A) the Estimated Purchase Price, less (B) the Holdback Amount, less
(C) the Dissenting Share Amount, less (D) the Aggregate Option Consideration.
(iv) The “Deferred Payment Amount” shall be an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Option Consideration payable in
respect of Company Deferred Payment Options pursuant to Section 2.7(f).
(v) The Closing Payment shall be held by the Paying Agent in accordance with the Paying Agency Agreement for the benefit
of Eclipsys or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, pending payment therefor by the Paying Agent to the Effective Time
Company Holders (other than the holders of Company Closing Payment Options, in their capacity as such). The Deferred Payment
Amount shall be held by the Paying Agent in accordance with the Paying Agency Agreement for the benefit of Eclipsys or the
Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, pending payment therefor by the Paying Agent to the holders of Company Deferred
Payment Options. Earnings from any investment of the Closing Payment or the Deferred Payment Amount pursuant to the Paying
Agency Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive property of Eclipsys or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, and no
part thereof shall accrue to the benefit of Effective Time Company Holders.
(vi) If any Shares become Dissenting Shares after the payment by Eclipsys or the Surviving Corporation to the Paying Agent
of the Closing Payment, Eclipsys may instruct the Paying Agent to, and the Paying Agent shall promptly upon receipt of such
instruction, remit to Eclipsys the portion of the Closing Payment allocable to such Dissenting Shares.
(b) At or immediately following the Effective Time, Eclipsys shall deposit with the Surviving Corporation the Aggregate Option
Consideration payable in respect of all Company Closing Payment Options and the Surviving Corporation shall, as promptly as
practicable, pay (i) to Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (“ADP”) the Aggregate Option Consideration payable in respect of Company
Closing Payment Options held by each Option Holder listed on Schedule 2.9(b)(i) (the “Employee Option Holders”), and (ii) to each
Option Holder listed on Schedule 2.9(b)(ii) (the “NonEmployee Option Holders”), the Option Consideration payable in respect of each
share of Company Common Stock then subject to purchase under the Company Closing Payment Options of such NonEmployee Option
Holder (net of any applicable tax withholding). The Surviving Corporation shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause ADP to
pay, as promptly as practicable, to each Employee Option Holder, the Option Consideration with respect to each share of Company
Common Stock then subject to purchase under the Company Closing Payment Options of such Employee Option Holder (net of
applicable tax withholding).
21
(c) At the Closing, Eclipsys shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, the Holdback Amount with the Escrow Agent in four separate
escrow accounts. The Escrow Amount shall be deposited in an account (the “Escrow Fund”), which shall be used to pay Damages, if
any, to the Eclipsys Indemnified Parties. The Stockholders’ Amount shall be deposited in an account (the “Stockholders’ Fund”), which
shall be used to reimburse the Stockholders’ Representative for out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in the performance of his or
her duties hereunder, including fees of attorneys and accountants employed by the Stockholders’ Representative necessary to
discharge his or her duties as Stockholders’ Representative, payment of the Emerson Software Development Bonus, if any, and the
Gravina Software Development Bonus, if any, and for other payments on behalf of the Effective Time Company Holders set forth herein.
The True-Up Reserve Amount shall be deposited in an account (the “True-Up Reserve Fund”), which shall be used to pay to Eclipsys
any shortfall if the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Purchase Price. The Software Development Escrow Amount shall be deposited
in an account (the “Software Development Escrow Fund”), which shall be used to pay to Eclipsys any amounts pursuant to
Section 6.19. Promptly following the Holdback Termination Date, Eclipsys and the Stockholders’ Representative shall give joint written
instructions to the Escrow Agent to (A) retain any portion of the Escrow Fund subject to good faith pending claims by Eclipsys under
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (the “Claimed Amount”) as of such date, and (B) pay any remaining part of the
Escrow Fund to the Effective Time Company Holders according to Section 2.7(g). Each of the Escrow Fund, the Stockholders’ Fund, the
True-Up Reserve Fund and the Software Development Escrow Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any Lien,
attachment or other judicial process of any creditor of any Person, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in
accordance with the terms hereof and of the Escrow Agreement. Any Claimed Amount unpaid at the Holdback Termination Date shall be
paid pursuant to the Escrow Agreement upon a final resolution of the applicable claim. Any amount remaining in the Stockholders’ Fund
or the True-Up Reserve Fund shall be paid in accordance with the Escrow Agreement no later than the final payment out of the Escrow
Fund. Promptly following the Scheduled Development End Date, Eclipsys and the Stockholders’ Representative shall give joint written
instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay any remaining part of the Software Development Escrow Fund to the Effective Time Company
Holders according to Section 2.7(g). Whenever Eclipsys and the Stockholders’ Representative are required to provide joint instructions
to the Escrow Agent under the terms of the Escrow Agreement or this Agreement, such parties shall promptly provide such joint
instructions, unless either party in good faith disputes that the terms and conditions requiring such delivery of such joint instructions
have not been met or disputes the terms of such joint instructions, in which case, such dispute shall be promptly resolved as set forth in
Section 11.13. The interests of the Effective Time Company Holders in the Escrow Fund, the Stockholders’ Fund, the True-Up Reserve
Fund and the Software Development Escrow Fund shall not be assignable or transferable, whether directly, indirectly or by operation of
law, except in the event of death of an Effective Time Company Holder to such Effective Time Company Holder’s estate, personal
representative or heirs by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that as a condition to any such transfer the
transferee(s) shall hold such interests subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the
transferee(s) shall execute and deliver to Eclipsys and the Escrow Agent an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Eclipsys
agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
22
(d) As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, Eclipsys or the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to
each Effective Time Company Holder (other than the Option Holders, in their capacity as such) whose Company Capital Stock was
converted into the right to receive the consideration described in Section 2.7: (i) a letter of transmittal in form acceptable to Eclipsys; and
(ii) instructions for surrendering certificates that represented Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Certificates”) and any
instruments representing Company Warrants (“Warrant Instruments”), in exchange for payment therefor (other than holders of
Certificates representing Dissenting Shares). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or such other agent or
agents as may be appointed by Eclipsys, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and delivered, the holder of such
Certificate shall become entitled to receive in exchange therefor (as promptly as practicable thereafter), the consideration specified in
Section 2.7(c). Upon surrender, such Certificate shall be cancelled. Upon receipt of a duly executed and delivered letter of transmittal by
Eclipsys and any associated Warrant Instrument, the holder of Company Warrants shall become entitled to receive (as promptly as
practicable thereafter) consideration therefor in accordance with Section 2.7(e). No portion of any Merger Consideration shall be paid to
(A) the holder of any Shares or Company Warrants until a letter of transmittal has been validly executed and delivered pursuant hereto,
with all Certificates and related Warrant Instruments, and (B) the holder of any Company Options until a Form W-9 and any other
documentation reasonably requested by Eclipsys or the Paying Agent has been validly executed and delivered by such holder of
Company Options. Payment pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) shall be made by the Paying Agent from the Closing Payment, provided that
if at the time of any payment hereunder, the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Final Closing
Date Debt shall have been determined pursuant to Section 2.10(d), such payment hereunder shall be based on any adjusted amounts
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.10(d). If payment in respect of any Certificate or Warrant Instrument is to be made to a Person
other than the Person in whose name such Certificate or Warrant Instrument is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the
Certificate or Warrant Instrument so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, that the
signatures on such Certificate or Warrant Instrument or any related stock power shall be properly guaranteed by an eligible institution
and that the Person requesting such payment shall have established to the satisfaction of Eclipsys and the Paying Agent that any
transfer and other Taxes required by reason of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Warrant
Instrument have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.9, any Certificate
(other than Certificates representing Shares described in Section 2.7(a) and any Dissenting Shares) or Warrant Instrument shall be
deemed, at any time after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive (upon execution and delivery as described herein) the
portion of the Merger Consideration payable with respect thereto, without interest, as contemplated herein.
(e) As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, Eclipsys or the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to
each holder of Company Deferred Payment Options a notice describing the payment terms for such options, including an ability to elect
to execute a general release in the form attached as Schedule 2.9(e), in the event the holder thereof elects to execute and accelerate
payment for such options. If, on any day prior to the 60th day after the Closing Date, the Paying Agent receives a general release from a
holder of Company Deferred Payment Options in the form of Schedule 2.9(e) (which has not been revoked
23
by such holder within seven days after the date of such release), the holder of such Company Deferred Payment Options shall become
entitled to receive (as promptly as practicable after such seven day period), the consideration specified in Section 2.7(f) in respect of
such Company Deferred Payment Options (without interest thereon). Payment pursuant to this Section 2.9(e) shall be made by the
Paying Agent from the Deferred Payment Amount. Promptly following the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date (plus any unexpired
revocation period with respect to a general release received prior to such date), Eclipsys shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to
deliver to it any portion of the Deferred Payment Amount that has not been disbursed to holders of Company Deferred Payment Options.
Promptly following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the holders of Company Deferred Payment Options that did not provide an
unrevoked general release to the Paying Agent as provided in this Section 2.9(e) shall become entitled to receive from Eclipsys the
consideration specified in Section 2.7(f) in respect of such Company Deferred Payment Options (without interest thereon). The interests
of a holder of Company Deferred Payment Options in any portion of the Deferred Payment Amount payable to such holder shall not be
assignable or transferable, whether directly, indirectly or by operation of law, except in the event of death of such holder to such holder’s
estate, personal representative or heirs by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that as a condition to any
such transfer the transferee(s) shall hold such interests subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Premise 2004 Plan
and the transferee(s) shall execute and deliver to Eclipsys an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Eclipsys agreeing to be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Premise 2004 Plan.
(f) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Premise shall be closed and there shall thereafter be no further registration of
transfers of any Shares, Company Options or Company Warrants, or any conversion or exercise thereof. If, after the Effective Time, a
Certificate or Instrument (other than a Certificate representing Shares described in Section 2.7(a)) is presented to the Surviving
Corporation, it shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.9 (subject to Section 2.8 with regard to Dissenting Shares).
(g) All Merger Consideration paid upon conversion of the Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants in
accordance with the terms of this Article II, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.10, shall be deemed to have been paid in full
satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants. From and after the
Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Instruments shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Company Capital Stock,
Company Options and Company Warrants represented thereby, except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law.
(h) If any Certificate (other than a Certificate representing Dissenting Shares) or Instrument shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, and delivery of a duly executed letter of transmittal, in the
case of Shares and Company Warrants, the Surviving Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid in exchange for such lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate or Instrument the relevant portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7
for the Shares, Company Options or Company Warrants represented thereby; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation or the
Paying Agent may, in their discretion, require the delivery of a satisfactory indemnity.
24
(i) Promptly following the date that is 180 days after the Effective Time, Eclipsys shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to
deliver to it any funds and other property (including any interest or other income received with respect thereto) that had been made
available to the Paying Agent and that have not been disbursed to Effective Time Company Holders, and any Certificates, Warrant
Instruments or other documents relating to the Merger in its possession, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look to Eclipsys
only as general creditors thereof with respect to any portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their
Certificates or Warrant Instruments, without interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.9, to the fullest extent
permitted by Legal Requirements, none of the Paying Agent, Eclipsys or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of a
Certificate or Instrument for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat
or similar Legal Requirements.
(j) The amount of the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Shares, the Company Warrants and the Company Options and
any other applicable numbers or amounts shall be adjusted as necessary to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse
stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Shares), reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification or other like change with respect to Company Capital Stock occurring or having a record date on or after the date hereof
and prior to the Effective Time.
(k) Eclipsys, the Surviving Corporation, the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent and ADP shall be entitled to deduct and withhold
from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to any holder or former
holder of Company Capital Stock, Company Option or Company Warrant such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld
therefrom under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent
that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the
holders in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made and shall be duly and timely paid to the proper Governmental
Entity.
2.10 Calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital, Closing Payment and Final Adjustments.
(a) (i) The Current Assets, the Current Liabilities, the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Estimated Closing Date Net
Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Debt, the Estimated Closing Date Debt, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Estimated Closing
Date Cash shall be calculated, as applicable (A) consistent with the hypothetical calculations set forth in Schedule 2.10; (B) consistent
with the practices and policies of Premise used in preparing the Financial Statements; and (C) with all normal and recurring accounting
entries reflected therein and all errors and omissions corrected.
(ii) Each line item component or subcomponent of the Current Assets, Current Liabilities, the Final Closing Date Debt, the
Estimated Closing Date Debt, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Estimated Closing Date Cash shall be calculated in conformity
with GAAP.
25
(iii) For purposes of calculating the Current Assets, the Current Liabilities, the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the
Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Debt and the Estimated Closing Date Debt, such calculation
shall not take into account the impact of any purchase accounting adjustments relating to Eclipsys’s acquisition of Premise,
including any write-up or write-down of assets or liabilities resulting from such purchase accounting.
(iv) At least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Premise shall provide Eclipsys with its good faith estimate of the
Seller Transaction Expenses that are unpaid as of such date.
(b) Prior to the execution of this Agreement, Premise delivered to Eclipsys its good faith calculations of the Estimated Closing Date
Net Working Capital, the Estimated Closing Date Cash and the Estimated Closing Date Debt as set forth on Schedule 2.10(b), and
Eclipsys accepted such calculations. For purposes of calculating the Closing Payment, Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital,
Estimated Closing Date Cash and Estimated Closing Date Debt shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.10(b).
(c) (i) Within 60 days following the Closing, Eclipsys shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a balance sheet
of Premise as of the Closing Date showing Eclipsys’ good faith determination of the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final
Closing Date Cash and the Final Closing Date Debt (the “Eclipsys Final Calculations”).
(ii) On or before the date which is 15 days after the date of Eclipsys’ delivery to the Stockholders’ Representative of the
Eclipsys Final Calculations, the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to Eclipsys a notice of objection, stating in reasonable
detail the grounds for such objection and signed by the Stockholders’ Representative (an “Objection Notice”), or a notice of
acceptance signed by the Stockholders’ Representative (an “Acceptance Notice”), with respect to the Eclipsys Final Calculations.
Eclipsys shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative and any accountants and other representatives engaged by the
Stockholders’ Representative, upon reasonable advance notice, access to such books and records of Premise relating to the
Eclipsys Final Calculations as may be reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Representative.
(iii) The Eclipsys Final Calculations shall be final and binding on the parties if an Acceptance Notice is delivered to Eclipsys
or if no Objection Notice is delivered to Eclipsys with respect to such amounts within the 15-day period required by
Section 2.10(c)(ii). If an Objection Notice is delivered, the potential dispute with respect to the Eclipsys Final Calculations shall be
resolved as set forth in Section 2.11, and the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash or the Final
Closing Date Debt, to the extent in dispute, determined pursuant to such procedures, in addition to the undisputed amounts, shall
be final and binding on the parties.
26
(d) Upon determination of the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Final Closing Date Debt
pursuant to Section 2.10(c), Eclipsys shall determine the Purchase Price. If the Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, then
Eclipsys shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount in cash equal to the difference (less a ratable portion attributable to any
Dissenting Shares), which the Paying Agent shall distribute to the holders of Participating Shares (other than holders of Dissenting
Shares) in their Pro Rata Portion. If the Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then the Stockholders’ Representative
shall provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay that shortfall in cash to Eclipsys out of the True-Up Reserve Fund, and if
the shortfall exceeds the amount in the True-Up Reserve Fund, such excess shall be paid to Eclipsys from the Escrow Fund. Payments
pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) shall be made in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days after,
as applicable, the delivery of the Acceptance Notice, the expiration of the 15-day period, if no Objection Notice is delivered, the
agreement of Eclipsys and the Stockholders’ Representative after consultation, or the issuance by the Unrelated Accounting Firm of its
final report pursuant to Section 2.11. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Purchase Price exceeds the
Estimated Purchase Price, but in an amount less than $50,000, then Eclipsys shall deposit with the Escrow Agent, for addition to the
Escrow Fund, such difference. Further, if the Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price by $50,000 or more, but the Paying
Agent has paid to Effective Time Company Holders more than 50% of the Closing Payment, then Eclipsys may, upon notice to the
Paying Agent, make such payment directly to the Effective Time Company Holders, in its discretion.
2.11 Dispute Resolution of Calculation of Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Cash or the Closing Date Debt. If an Objection Notice is
given with respect to any or all of the Eclipsys Final Calculations, the Stockholders’ Representative and Eclipsys shall consult with each other
with respect to the objection. If Eclipsys and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to reach agreement within 15 days after an Objection
Notice has been given, any unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to the Washington, D.C. office of such nationally recognized
independent accounting firm, or economic consulting or valuation firm, as is mutually agreed to by Eclipsys and the Stockholders’
Representative (the “Unrelated Accounting Firm”). The Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be directed to render a written report on the
unresolved disputed issues as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 45 days following submission of the matter to the Unrelated
Accounting Firm) and to resolve only those issues of dispute set forth in the Objection Notice (subject to any items resolved by Eclipsys and
the Stockholders’ Representative after consultation pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.11). In resolving any disputed issues
relating to the Eclipsys Final Calculations, the Unrelated Accounting Firm shall act as experts and not as arbitrators. The resolution by the
Unrelated Accounting Firm of the disputed amount, and the undisputed amounts, shall be final and binding on the parties for purposes of
determining the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Final Closing Date Debt, and the amounts owed
by the parties under Section 2.10(d), if any. If the Unrelated Accounting Firm determines Eclipsys to be correct in its determination, net in the
aggregate, of the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Final Closing Date Debt, the entire amount of
the expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be paid from the Stockholders’ Fund. Eclipsys shall promptly pay the entire amount of
the expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm if the Unrelated Accounting Firm determines the Stockholders’ Representative to be correct,
net in the aggregate, in his or her determination of the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Cash and the Final
Closing Date Debt. If neither Eclipsys nor the Stockholders’
27
Representative is correct, then Eclipsys and the Effective Time Company Holders shall share the expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm in
such proportion as the Unrelated Accounting Firm may determine appropriately reflects the relative accuracy of their respective
determinations. If the Effective Time Company Holders are obligated to pay any or all of the expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm, the
Stockholders’ Representative shall provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay such portion of the expenses of the Unrelated
Accounting Firm in cash to the Unrelated Accounting Firm out of the Stockholders’ Fund, and if the expenses exceeds the amount in the
Stockholders’ Fund, such excess will be paid to the Unrelated Accounting Firm from the Escrow Fund.
2.12 Approval. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval shall be deemed to constitute
approval of all arrangements relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and to the provisions hereof binding upon the Stockholders and
the Effective Time Company Holders.

properties, and all such Permits are in full force and effect. No suspension, cancellation, modification, revocation or nonrenewal of any

exploitation or modification by Premise of Company Owned IP or any of the products or services of Premise or, to the Knowledge
of Premise, the Intellectual Property used by Premise in its operations or Software Products (including the Company Licensed IP)

the Business; and (B) constitutes all of the Intellectual Property necessary to operate the Business after the Closing in
substantially the same manner as the Business has heretofore been operated by Premise (including for such purposes, current
Software Products as well as the planned products and services of Premise set forth on Section 4.14(f)(i) of the Disclosure
Schedule as currently designed and intended to be implemented, marketed and used), except in each case, for the development
work of Premise that has not been completed for the planned products and services of Premise set forth on Section 4.14(f)(i) of the
Disclosure Schedule.
(g) To the Knowledge of Premise, no Person is infringing or misappropriating any Company Owned IP in any respect or making any
unlawful use of any products of Premise in any respect. None of the Major Stockholders or Premise (including its representatives) has
given notice to any Person in the last three years of any such infringement, misappropriation or unlawful use or alleged infringement,
misappropriation or unlawful use. Premise has not initiated, nor is it maintaining before a court or in an arbitration proceeding, claims or

without the consent of the user.
(i) The existing and currently manufactured and marketed products of Premise, including the Software Products, in all material
respects, have the features and perform the functions described in (i) any agreed specifications, responses by Premise to requests for
50
proposals or end user documentation provided to customers (including potential customers who later become customers) of Premise and
(ii) any Contracts or representations made by Premise or its representatives (either orally or in writing) that such customers could
reasonably rely on in deciding to purchase the products (notwithstanding any subsequent disclaimer of any representations or
warranties) or would reasonably be expected to rely upon when licensing or otherwise acquiring such products, in each case, subject to
subsequent changes requested by the customer and to standard nonmaterial error and maintenance items addressed by Premise in the
ordinary course of business. Excluding error and maintenance items resolved by Premise in the ordinary course of business, Premise has
not received any notice or complaints alleging that such products do not perform as described. There are no material errors or omissions
in the design, creation, implementation or maintenance of any of the Software Products. Premise has performed all obligations (legal and
contractual) required to be performed by it under the Contracts with customers and it is not (with or without the lapse of time or the
giving of notice, or both) in breach or default in any material respect thereunder, and, with respect to material obligations required to be
performed under such Contracts that are not yet due, there is no reason to expect that such obligations will not be fulfilled when they
become due.
(j) No current Software Product and none of the planned products and services of Premise set forth on Section 4.14(f)(i) of the
Disclosure Schedule as currently designed and intended to be implemented, marketed and used is, in whole or in part, subject to the
provisions of any open source, quasi-open source or other source code license agreement that (i) requires the distribution of source
code in connection with the distribution of the licensed Software in object code form; (ii) prohibits or limits Premise or any Affiliate from
charging a fee or receiving consideration in connection with sublicensing or distributing such licensed Software (whether in source code

engineer the Software by its terms and not by operation of law, including without limitation, any version of any of the following:

to the ownership, use or operation of any of the property or assets (both past and present) of Premise, whether issued to Premise or to

material claims under the Insurance Policies have been filed in a timely fashion. To the Knowledge of Premise, the activities and
operations of Premise have been conducted in a manner so as to conform in all material respects to all applicable provisions of the
Insurance Policies. Neither Premise nor, to the Knowledge of Premise, any Major Stockholder or other Person to whom any Insurance

or in part the insurance coverage issued thereunder. Neither Premise nor, to the Knowledge of Premise, any Major Stockholder or other
Person to whom any Insurance Policy has been issued (with respect to Premise or the Business), has received (A) any refusal of
coverage from any insurer from which Premise or such other Person sought coverage, (B) any notice that a defense will be afforded with

notice that Premise or such other Person is in default under any Insurance Policy; and to the Knowledge of Premise, no event has
occurred and no circumstance or condition exists that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, might form the basis of any such

Premise in respect of such Warranty Claims. Such estimate was prepared in good faith, based on the Knowledge of Premise, although

or complying with, in any material respect, any covenant or agreement of Premise under this Agreement, and (ii) it will vote any Shares

agents or advisors, shall communicate with any employee, consultant, customer or supplier of Premise without the prior authorization of
Premise (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except for communications made in the ordinary course of business. Eclipsys

statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, without the prior written
consent of Eclipsys on the one hand, and Premise, on the other hand, except to the extent disclosure is legally required (including the
requirements and rules of any stock exchange on which the common stock of Eclipsys is traded), in which case Premise and Eclipsys shall
consult with each other, and use reasonable efforts to agree upon the text prior to any such disclosure, to the extent reasonably feasible under
the circumstances.

6.6 Third-Party Offers.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement, until the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement, Premise and each of
the Major Stockholders shall, and shall cause each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives
(including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant) and agents to immediately cease any discussions or
negotiations with any Persons with respect to any Third-Party Acquisition, and none of the Major Stockholders or Premise shall, or shall
authorize or permit any of its respective Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives (including, without
limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant) or agents to, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, participate in or initiate
any inquiries, discussions or negotiations with or provide any information or access to any Person concerning any potential Third-Party
Acquisition or that may reasonably be expected to lead to any Third-Party Acquisition or attempted Third-Party Acquisition, or
otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement a Third-Party Acquisition. Premise shall, within 24 hours, communicate to
Eclipsys the existence or occurrence and the terms of any potential Third-Party Acquisition or contact or inquiry related to any potential
Third-Party Acquisition that the Major Stockholders, Premise or any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors,
employees, representatives or agents, receive in respect of such a proposed transaction, and the identity of the Person from whom such
proposal, inquiry, or other contact was received.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time following execution of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Company
Stockholder Approval, (i) Premise receives a written proposal for a Third-Party Acquisition that the Board of Directors of Premise
believes in good faith to be bona fide, (ii) such proposal was unsolicited and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 6.6,
(iii) the Board of Directors of Premise determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) that
such proposal constitutes or could reasonably lead to a Superior Proposal and (iv) the Board of Directors of Premise determines in good
faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) that the failure to take the actions referred to in clause (x), (y) or
(z) below would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Stockholders under applicable law, then Premise may (x) furnish
information with respect to Premise to the Person making such proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement containing
terms substantially similar to, and no less favorable to Premise than, those set forth herein and in the Confidentiality Agreement;
provided, that any nonpublic information provided to any Person given such access shall have been previously provided to Eclipsys or
shall be provided to Eclipsys prior to or concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person, (y) participate in discussions or
negotiations with the Person making such proposal regarding such proposal and (z) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or
solicitation in support of such proposal.
66
(c) The Board of Directors of Premise shall not withdraw, amend or modify its approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including its recommendation in favor of this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, provided however, that the Board of Directors of Premise may withdraw, amend or modify its
recommendation with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby if (i) such withdrawal, amendment or
modification is prior to receipt by Premise of the Company Stockholder Approval, (ii) the Board of Directors of Premise determines in
good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors, that its fiduciary obligations require it to do so, (iii) the
Board of Directors of Premise provides notice of such proposed action to Eclipsys prior to taking such action, and if such withdrawal,
amendment or modification is due to the existence of a proposal for a Third-Party Acquisition, specifying the material terms and
conditions of such Third Party Acquisition and identifying the Person making such proposal for a Third-Party Acquisition, (iv) Premise
provides at least five (5) Business Days following receipt by Eclipsys of the notice required pursuant to clause (iii) above, for Eclipsys, in
its sole discretion, to make any revised proposal, and (v) after such five Business Day period, and taking into account any such revised
proposal, the Board of Directors of Premise maintains its determination described in clause (ii) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing in this Section 6.6(c) shall be deemed to affect any other obligation of Premise under this Agreement not inconsistent herewith,
regardless of whether the Board of Directors of Premise has withdrawn or modified its recommendation.
(d) (i) Premise represents and warrants to Eclipsys that (i) Premise and its Affiliates, officers, directors and employees, and to the
Knowledge of Premise, the representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant) and other
agents of Premise, have terminated any and all existing discussions with third parties relating to a Third-Party Acquisition, and
(ii) Premise has instructed all of its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents to terminate all discussions relating to a
Third-Party Acquisition.
(ii) Each of the Major Stockholders, as to itself, severally but not jointly, represents and warrants, to Eclipsys that (A) such
Major Stockholder, and its Affiliates, officers, directors and employees and, to the Knowledge of such Major Stockholder, the

representative of Premise or the Major Stockholders, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of Premise or otherwise,
shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement by Premise and the Major Stockholders.
67
6.7 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) The Major Stockholders recognize that the covenants of the Major Stockholders contained in this Section 6.7 are an essential
part of this Agreement and that but for the agreement of each Major Stockholder to comply with such covenants Eclipsys would not
enter into this Agreement. The Major Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 6.7 are necessary
to protect the legitimate business interests of the Business acquired by Eclipsys pursuant to this Agreement, including without
limitation, trade secrets and other confidential information and goodwill, and that irreparable harm and damage will be done to Eclipsys if
any Major Stockholder takes any action in any way prohibited by such covenants. In addition, the Major Stockholders acknowledge that
the Purchase Price is paid in part as consideration for customer contacts and marketplace reputation developed by Premise for the
Business and such covenants are necessary for Eclipsys to receive the full benefit of this Agreement.
(b) From and after the Closing, each Major Stockholder shall not individually, or in concert with any other Person, directly or
indirectly:
(i) engage or become interested in, as owner, employee, partner, through equity ownership (not including up to a five percent
passive equity interest in a company for which such Major Stockholder does not serve as an officer, director, employee or
consultant), investment of capital, lending of money or property, rendering of services, including as a director (or equivalent), or
otherwise create or initiate, any business competitive with the Business;
(ii) take, or assist any other Person in taking, any action intended to advance an interest of any competitor or potential
competitor of the Business, or encourage any other Person to take such action; or
(iii) take, or assist any other Person in taking, any material action intended to cause any customer or prospective customer of
the Business to use the services or purchase or license the products of any competitor of the Business.
The covenants of the Major Stockholders set forth in this Section 6.7(b) are referred to herein as the “Covenant Not to Compete.”
The Covenant Not to Compete shall cover all of the counties and other political subdivisions of the states of the United States. The
Covenant Not to Compete shall bind each Major Stockholder for the three year period immediately following the Closing Date, as the
same may be extended pursuant to the terms of Section 6.7(f) (the “Restrictive Period”). The Major Stockholders agree that the duration
and area for which the Covenant Not to Compete set forth in this Section 6.7(b) is to be effective are reasonable.
Each of the Major Stockholders hereby acknowledges and agrees that the benefit of the Covenant Not to Compete may be
assigned by Eclipsys to any Subsidiary of Eclipsys in connection with any corporate restructuring or reorganization of Eclipsys of the
Business, without the further consent of such Major Stockholder.
68
(c) In addition, and not in limitation of the prohibitions described in Section 6.7(b), for the Restrictive Period, each of the Major
Stockholders shall not, and shall cause such Major Stockholder’s Affiliates and family members not to, directly or indirectly, and shall
not cause, encourage or assist any other Person to, divert or attempt to divert or take advantage of or attempt to take advantage of any
actual or potential business or opportunities of Eclipsys, Premise or their Affiliates of which any of the Major Stockholders become
aware which relate to the Business, or any part thereof, and which are located in any county or any other political subdivision of the
states of the United States of America.
(d) During the Restrictive Period, each of the Major Stockholders shall not, and each Major Stockholder shall cause its Affiliates
not to, and shall not, cause or encourage or assist any other Persons to, directly or indirectly:
(i) perform any action, activity or course of conduct consisting of or encouraging the following: (A) soliciting, or recruiting
any employees of Premise listed on Section 4.11(b) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Restricted Employees”) to leave the
employment of Premise or its Affiliates; (B) hiring any Restricted Employees; or (C) soliciting or encouraging any such Restricted
Employee to leave the employment of Premise or its Affiliates; or
(ii) cause, solicit or encourage any customer, or contractor, subcontractor or other supplier of Premise to terminate or
adversely alter any relationship such customer or supplier may have with Premise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit general solicitations by the Major Stockholders or their Affiliates not
directed at any specific employees of Eclipsys or Premise or their respective Affiliates, including any newspaper advertisements.
(e) The covenants set forth in this Section 6.7 are in addition to and not by way of limitation of any other duties any Major
Stockholder may have to Eclipsys, Premise or their Affiliates. The Major Stockholders acknowledge that the covenants contained in this
Section 6.7 impose a reasonable restraint on the Major Stockholders in light of the activities and business and future plans of Eclipsys.
The Major Stockholders acknowledge that if they violate any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 (collectively, the
“Restrictive Covenants”), it will be difficult to determine the resulting damages to Eclipsys, Premise and their Affiliates and, in addition
to any other remedies Eclipsys, Premise and their Affiliates may have, Eclipsys, Premise and their Affiliates shall be entitled to temporary
injunctive relief and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages in the event of any breach or threatened
breach of such covenants. The nonprevailing party or parties shall be liable to pay all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, that the prevailing party or parties may incur in enforcing or defending, to any extent, any of the Restrictive Covenants,
whether or not litigation is actually commenced and including litigation of any appeal. Eclipsys, Premise and their Affiliates may elect to
seek one or more remedies at their discretion on a case-by-case basis. Failure to seek any or all remedies in one case shall not restrict
Eclipsys, Premise and their Affiliates from seeking any remedies in another situation or for a continuing breach. Such action by Eclipsys,
Premise and their Affiliates shall not constitute a waiver of any of their rights.
69
(f) Each of the Restrictive Covenants shall be read and interpreted with every reasonable inference given to its enforceability.
However, if any term, provision or condition of the Restrictive Covenants is held by a court or arbitrator to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated. If a court or arbitrator determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants are unenforceable, in whole or in part, then the court
or arbitrator shall modify such covenant so as to make it enforceable to the fullest extent the court or arbitrator deems enforceable under
the prevailing circumstances. As to each Major Stockholder, the Covenant Not to Compete shall be deemed to be a series of separate
covenants, one for each and every county or other political subdivision of the states of the United States of America, which is where the
Covenant Not to Compete is intended to be effective. Any violation of the provisions of this Section 6.7 shall automatically toll the
passage of the three-year period with respect to the breaching Major Stockholder and extend the Restrictive Period for the duration of
such violations with respect to the breaching Major Stockholder.
(g) At any time during the Restrictive Period, each or any of the Major Stockholders shall, within five (5) days of the written request
of Eclipsys, certify to Eclipsys in writing (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Eclipsys) that such Major Stockholder is in
full compliance with the covenants contained in this Section 6.7.
(h) Nothing contained in this Section 6.7 is intended to confer upon any Major Stockholder any right to employment with Eclipsys,
Premise or their Affiliates at any time after the Closing Date.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restrictive Covenants shall not apply to any Institutional Major Stockholder and its
Affiliates as follows: (i) to the extent that such Restrictive Covenants would prevent such Institutional Major Stockholder and its
Affiliates from conducting its business in the ordinary course as such business is currently conducted, provided that the exception set
forth in this Section 6.7(i)(i) shall not apply to any Affiliates of such Institutional Major Stockholders if such Affiliates are also Major
Stockholders; (ii) the Restrictive Covenants shall apply to the Institutional Major Stockholder and its Affiliates, but shall not apply to
any Portfolio Company of such Major Stockholder or any investor in such Institutional Major Stockholder (solely in such investor’s
capacity as such); and (iii) in the case of each of Aetna Ventures. LLC and Connecticut Innovations, Inc., the Restrictive Covenants shall
apply only to such entity and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, but not to any Person controlling or under common control with such
entity; provided that in the cases of clauses (ii) and (iii), such Institutional Major Stockholder does not perform any action, activity or
course of conduct consisting of or encouraging the following: (y) soliciting or recruiting any Restricted Employees for hire by any such
Portfolio Company, investor, or controlling Person or Person under common control; or (z) soliciting or encouraging any such employee
of Premise to leave the employment of Eclipsys, Premise or their Affiliates.
6.8 Directors. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Major Stockholders shall cause each director to resign from their position as a director
of the Board of Directors of Premise.
70
6.9 Stockholders’ Representative.

this Agreement, including the taking of actions and the giving of consents on behalf of the Major Stockholders prior to the Closing and
the Effective Time Company Holders from and after the Closing as specified herein. The Major Stockholders hereby appoint Richard
Dumler as the initial Stockholders’ Representative. The approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Stockholders and the
acceptance of the Merger Consideration by the Effective Time Company Holders shall constitute, to the fullest extent permitted by law,

irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any Effective Time Company Holder or by operation of law, whether by the death or
incapacity of any individual Effective Time Company Holder or by the occurrence of any other event. Another person shall be appointed
as the Stockholders’ Representative if the person so designated (or any successor thereof) is unwilling or unable to so act. The
Stockholders’ Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Accordingly, the Stockholders’ Representative shall have full power
and authority to:

the Emerson Software Development Bonus, the Gravina Software Development Bonus and the Stockholders’ Fund and the True-
Up Reserve Fund, in their Pro Rata Portion, to the Effective Time Company Holders.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Effective Time Company Holders hereby (i) irrevocably appoints
the Stockholders’ Representative as such Effective Time Company Holder’s agent for service of any and all legal process, summons,
notices and documents which may be served in any action or proceeding under or pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) waives any
requirement of personal notice or any claim that service on the Stockholders’ Representative is invalid or insufficient to constitute valid
personal service on such Effective Time Company Holder.
(c) Each of the Effective Time Company Holders acknowledges that actions taken, consents given and representations made by the
Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Effective Time Company Holders pursuant hereto shall be binding upon the Major
Stockholders and the Effective Time Company Holders, as applicable, including all actions and consents under the Escrow Agreement.

the Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any of them for Damages with respect to any action taken or any omission by the
Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 6.9, except to the extent such Damages are caused by the Stockholders’
Representative’s bad faith, fraud or criminal misconduct and (ii) to indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative against any Damages that

Representative, except to the extent such Damages are caused by the Stockholders’ Representative’s bad faith, fraud or criminal
misconduct.

6.10 Employee Matters.

(a) The employees of Premise shall, subject to Section 6.10(b), continue as at-will employees of Premise or Eclipsys or another
Subsidiary of Eclipsys following the Closing, on terms to be determined by Eclipsys. If employment is continued by Eclipsys or another
Subsidiary of Eclipsys other than Premise, the new employer shall assume any accrued but unused vacation benefits as listed on
Schedule 6.10(a). Employees of Premise who continue in the employ of Premise, Eclipsys or a Subsidiary of Eclipsys shall, following a
reasonable transition period determined by Eclipsys, have benefits and be employed on terms consistent with those provided by
Eclipsys to its other employees at comparable levels in the organization, including annual base compensation, as applicable based on
employment level, plus an opportunity to receive equity based compensation and an annual bonus pursuant to the performance-based
corporate bonus plan, if established by Eclipsys’s Board of Directors. Following the Closing, to the extent permitted by Legal
Requirements, applicable Tax qualification requirements and the terms of the applicable employee benefit plans and policies of Eclipsys,
and subject to any generally applicable break in service or similar rule, Eclipsys shall recognize the years of service of each continuing
employee of Premise with Premise prior to the Closing Date for purposes of vesting and eligibility to participate (but not benefit accrual)
under the employee benefit plans and policies of Eclipsys; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized if recognition
would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service or to the extent that such service was not recognized under the
corresponding Company Benefit Plan.
(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement confers upon any employee (including for such purposes persons filling a similar
function) of Premise any right to continued employment or participation in any Company Benefit Plan (other than the Premise 2004 Plan
to the extent provided by Section 6.17) or any employee benefit plan or policy of Eclipsys or its Subsidiaries at any time after the Closing
Date, nor shall anything contained herein be deemed an amendment or modification of any Company Benefit Plan or any employee
benefit plan or policy of Eclipsys or its Subsidiaries.
(c) Eclipsys shall be solely responsible for any required notice and payments under the Worker Adjustment Retraining and
Notification Act of 1988 (the “WARN Act”) and any similar state statutes, and otherwise to comply with any such statute with respect to
any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting any continuing
employees of Premise occurring after the Closing Date. Premise shall provide any required notice and payments under the WARN Act,
and any similar state statutes, and otherwise to comply with any such statute with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as
defined in the WARN Act) or group termination or similar event affecting any employees of Premise on or before the Closing Date.

condition to the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Eclipsys, each Major Stockholder hereby gives the following general release
effective as of the Closing Date:
(a) Each Major Stockholder on behalf of such Major Stockholder and such Major Stockholder’s agents, heirs, successors and
assigns, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges Premise, Eclipsys, each of their respective
Affiliates and their respective partners, members, managers, stockholders, directors, officers and agents, and their respective successors
and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, from any and all
charges, complaints, claims, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands,
remedies, costs, losses, debts, expenses and fees, of every type, kind, nature, description or character, whether known or unknown,
suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, that such Major Stockholder has, owns or holds, or claims to have, hold or own,
including but not limited to those arising out of or in connection with (i) the Major Stockholder’s employment, or other relationship with
Premise, (ii) the Major Stockholder’s right to or interest in any Intellectual Property or other assets or properties of Premise, (iii) the Major
Stockholder’s right to or any interest in or under any Contract (including the Stockholder Agreements) with Premise, or (iv) any equity or
other interests the Major Stockholder may have or claim to have in, or any other claims the Major Stockholder may have against, Premise
or its predecessors (collectively, the “Claims”). Each Major Stockholder represents that such Major Stockholder has not assigned or
transferred or purported to have assigned or transferred to any Person any Claims. This general release set forth in this Section 6.11 shall
not affect any rights that the Major Stockholder may have (x) that arise solely under this Agreement (including payment of the Purchase
Price) or the Escrow Agreement, (y) that arise after the Closing Date or (z) based on any claim, demand or cause of action such Major
Stockholder may have against Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates (other than Premise) that is not related to Premise (including the Business),
the Merger, this Agreement or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Each Major Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the releases made herein constitute final and complete releases of the
Released Parties with respect to all Claims. Each Major Stockholder expressly acknowledges and agrees that this general release is
intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Claims that such Major Stockholder does not know or suspect to exist at the time
hereof, and this general release contemplates the extinguishment of any and all such Claims. Furthermore, each Major Stockholder
hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any rights and benefits that such Major Stockholder may have under any Legal Requirements,
including any state law or any common law principles limiting waivers of unknown claims. Each Major Stockholder understands that the
facts and circumstances under which such Major Stockholder gives this full and complete release and discharge of the Released Parties
set forth herein may hereafter prove to be different than now known or believed by such Major Stockholder and such Major Stockholder
hereby accepts and assumes the risk thereof and agrees that such Major Stockholder’s full and complete release and discharge of the
Released Parties with respect to the Claims shall remain effective in all respects and not be subject to termination, rescission or
modification by reason of any such difference in facts and circumstances.
74
(c) Each Major Stockholder represents and agrees that such Major Stockholder has not filed with any Governmental Entity or
arbitrator or any other Person any complaint, charge or lawsuit against any of the Released Parties involving any Claims, and that such
Major Stockholder shall not do so at any time hereafter.
(d) Each Major Stockholder represents and acknowledges that in executing this general release such Major Stockholder does not
rely and has not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth herein made by any of the Released Parties or by any of the
Released Parties’ Affiliates, agents, representatives or attorneys with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this general release
or otherwise.
(e) Without limiting the foregoing general release, each Major Stockholder agrees that such Major Stockholder shall not, directly or
indirectly, (i) bring or cause to be brought, or encourage or participate in the prosecution of, any action, proceeding or suit seeking
recovery by or on behalf of any Person from any Released Party of any amount in respect of, or Damages with respect to, any of the
Claims, or (ii) defend any action, proceeding or suit in whole or in part on the grounds that any or all of the terms or provisions of this
Section 6.11 violate any Legal Requirements, or are illegal, invalid, inequitable, not binding, unenforceable or against public policy.
6.12 Confidentiality.
(a) Each party and such party’s representatives shall (i) use any Confidential Information of any other party solely for the purpose
of pursuing the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) not directly or indirectly use or exploit the Confidential Information of any
other party for its own benefit or the benefit of another Person, including to create, adopt or modify products or services which would
compete with the disclosing party’s products or services. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information of Eclipsys shall,
from and after the Closing Date, include the Confidential Information of Premise and the Business, and, without limiting any other
obligations relating thereto, the Major Stockholders shall be subject to all obligations set forth herein with respect to such Confidential
Information of Eclipsys and Premise. This provision is not intended to restrict independent business activities, in each case undertaken
without use of any other party’s Confidential Information and without violating the Restrictive Covenants, employment terms or other
legal or contractual duties (but this sentence does not limit the Restrictive Covenants or any employment terms or other legal or
contractual duties).
(b) Each party agrees that (i) the Confidential Information of any other party received or otherwise held by it or any memoranda,
notes, analyses, reports, compilations or studies generated by it or its representatives based upon such Confidential Information shall be
kept confidential, (ii) except as permitted hereunder, such party and its advisors and other representatives shall not disclose any of the
Confidential Information of any other party in any manner whatsoever and (iii) such party and its representatives shall use the same level
of care to prohibit disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information as such party uses to protect its own confidential information,
but in no event using less than reasonable care and diligence; provided, however, that (A) such party may make any disclosure of such
information to which the other party to whom the Confidential Information belongs gives its prior written consent, and
75
(B) any of such information may be disclosed to such party’s representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of
pursuing the transactions contemplated hereby, and who agree to keep such information confidential. In any event, each party shall be
responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its representatives and shall, at its sole expense, take all reasonable measures (including
but not limited to court proceedings) to restrain its representatives from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential
Information of any other party.
(c) The receiving party shall immediately notify the disclosing party upon any loss or unauthorized disclosure of the other party’s
Confidential Information.
(d) In the event that any party or any of its representatives are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests
for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any of the
Confidential Information of any other party, it shall provide the disclosing party with prompt written notice of any such request or
requirement, if permitted by law to do so, so that the disclosing party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or
waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver
by the disclosing party, the receiving party or any of its representatives are nonetheless, in the opinion of its outside counsel, legally
compelled to disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other similar censure or
penalty, the receiving party or its representative may, without liability hereunder, disclose only that portion of the Confidential
Information of the disclosing party that such counsel advises is legally required to be disclosed, provided that the receiving party and
its Affiliates and agents exercise their respective commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential
Information, including, without limitation, by cooperating with the disclosing party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other
reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.
(e) Each party acknowledges that the Confidential Information of the other parties has tangible value and it is further understood
and agreed that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the provisions set forth herein by any party or any
of their representatives and that the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a
remedy for any such breach or threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of the
provisions set forth herein, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to the parties.
(f) The covenants set forth in this Section 6.12 shall survive until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, provided, that nothing
herein shall limit the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to the Confidential Information of the other parties, whether before or
after such date, under any Legal Requirements relating thereto, including state and common laws relating to misappropriation of trade
secrets.
(g) Nothing herein shall limit the obligations of the parties under the Confidentiality Agreement, and to the extent of any
inconsistency between this Section 6.12 and the Confidentiality Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement shall govern with respect to
the parties thereto.
76
6.13 Covenants Regarding Contracts.

(a) On or before the Closing Date, unless waived by Eclipsys, Premise shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and
Eclipsys shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Premise in obtaining, all Consents required under the Material Contracts in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, on terms that are not materially burdensome to Eclipsys or Premise, and Premise shall
deliver copies of such Consents to Eclipsys.
(b) On or before the Closing Date, Premise shall obtain payoff letters for the Debt of Premise to Silicon Valley Bank, including any
applicable per diem amounts and any penalty interest, prepayment penalties, exit fees or other penalties due as a result of such Debt
payment (the “Payoff Amounts”). At the Closing, Eclipsys shall pay the Payoff Amounts to Silicon Valley Bank, provided that Premise
shall be liable for the Payoff Amounts, and such amounts shall be included in the calculation of Estimated Closing Date Debt and Final
Closing Date Debt and shall have the effect of decreasing the Estimated Purchase Price and the Purchase Price.
(c) At the Closing or, if such payment is not due until after the Closing, at such later time as such payment is due, Eclipsys shall
pay each of the Seller Transaction Expenses listed on Schedule 6.13, provided that Premise shall be liable for all Seller Transaction
Expenses, including those listed on Schedule 6.13, and such amounts shall have the effect of decreasing the Estimated Purchase Price
and the Purchase Price.
6.14 Stockholder Notices.

(a) Premise shall promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date or such earlier date as may be
required under the Delaware General Corporation Law, deliver notice to its Stockholders of the Company Stockholder Approval and the
availability of appraisal rights (along with such other information required under applicable law), pursuant to and in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (including Section 228(e)) and the Premise Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws of Premise (the “Stockholder Notice”).
(b) As soon as practicable following execution of this Agreement, if the Stockholder Written Consents are not delivered within two
hours after execution, and without limiting any of the rights of Eclipsys hereunder, Premise shall take all action necessary in accordance
with Delaware law and the Premise Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Premise to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a
meeting for Stockholders to consider and vote upon the adoption and approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated hereby, including the appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative, or solicit the written consent of Stockholders
thereto. Subject to Section 6.6, Premise shall, through its Board of Directors, recommend to the Stockholders the adoption and approval
of this Agreement and shall not withdraw, modify or change such recommendation, and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the
Company Stockholders’ Approval.
77
6.15 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Premise may purchase tail coverage under its directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary
insurance policies covering Premise’s directors, officers and fiduciaries, with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occur at
or before the Effective Time. Eclipsys shall use, and cause the Surviving Corporation to use, commercially reasonable efforts to keep any
such tail coverage in effect for the term thereof, provided that neither Eclipsys nor the Surviving Corporation shall in any event be
obligated to make payments with respect to any such policy beyond the premiums paid by Premise prior to the Closing.
(b) This Section 6.15 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third-party rights to, the directors, officers and
fiduciaries of Premise at or prior to the Effective Time, to the extent such persons are covered by any such tail policies purchased by
Premise prior to the Effective Time, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Eclipsys and the Surviving Corporation. Each
director, officer or fiduciary of Premise so covered shall be entitled to enforce the post-closing covenants of Eclipsys and the Surviving
Corporation contained in this Section 6.15.
(c) Following the Closing, the organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, contain provisions in the aggregate no less favorable (in all material respects) with respect to indemnification,
advancement of expenses and exculpation of the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation than are currently set forth in the
Premise Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Premise. Any indemnification agreements with the directors and officers of Premise in
existence on the date of this Agreement and listed on Section 4.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedule shall remain effective, without any further
action, and shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
(d) In the event that the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the
continuing entity after such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person,
then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that such continuing entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may
be, shall assume the obligations set forth in Section 6.15(c).
6.16 Termination of 401(k) Plan. Effective no later than the Closing Date, Premise shall terminate any and all Company Employee Plans
intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each such plan, a “Company 401(k) Plan”) pursuant to resolutions of Premise’s
Board of Directors that are substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6.16. At or prior to the Closing, Premise shall provide Eclipsys
with evidence that all Company 401(k) Plans have been terminated (effective no later than the Closing Date) and shall thereafter take such
other actions in furtherance of terminating any Company 401(k) Plans as Eclipsys may reasonably require. This Section 6.16 is not intended to
require that all assets of such Company 401(k) Plans be fully distributed as of or prior to the Closing Date.
78
6.17 Amendment to the Premise 2004 Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Premise shall amend the Premise 2004
Plan as set forth in Schedule 6.17(a) such that each Company Option that could be assumed by Eclipsys pursuant to Section III.A. of Article
Two of the Premise 2004 Plan as in effect immediately prior to such amendment (each, a “Company Deferred Payment Option”) shall become
fully vested as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and be converted into the right to receive the same amount of Merger Consideration in
respect of such Company Deferred Payment Option, as the holder thereof would receive pursuant to Section 2.7(d) if such Company Deferred
Payment Option were a Company Closing Payment Option. Such amendment shall also provide that such Merger Consideration shall be
payable on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, without interest, except that, to the extent the holder of any Company Deferred Payment
Option elects to execute a general release in the form of Schedule 2.9(e) prior to the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date, such Merger
Consideration shall be payable promptly after the expiration of any period during which such general release may be revoked.
6.18 Collection of Grady Receivable.

(a) The Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the Grady Receivable. Until the Grady Collection
Date, the Surviving Corporation shall consult regularly with the Stockholders’ Representative on its efforts to collect the Grady
Receivable and give the Stockholders’ Representative the opportunity to provide input into material decisions affecting such collection
and the handling thereof, including any decision to commence legal actions to collect such receivable, and shall in good faith consider
such input.
(b) Promptly after the earlier of (i) complete payment of the Grady Receivable and (ii) the first anniversary of the Closing Date (such
earlier date, the “Grady Collection Date”), the Surviving Corporation shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative with a complete
accounting of the amount collected on the Grady Receivable as of such date, less any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Eclipsys and
the Surviving Corporation to collect such amounts, including the costs of any legal proceeding (such net amount, the “Net Grady
Collection”). If, on or before the Grady Collection Date, Eclipsys enters into any transaction with Grady not in effect on the date of this
Agreement and the Grady Receivable is liquidated in whole or part in connection with that transaction, Eclipsys will be deemed for
purposes of this Section 6.18 to have received from Grady a payment against the Grady Receivable equal to the amount, if any, by which
the total amount payable by Grady in that transaction exceeds Eclipsys list prices for what is being delivered by Eclipsys in the
transaction.
6.19 Post-Closing Software Development.

(a) Schedule 6.19(i) sets forth certain “Performance Plans” as of the date hereof for the Premise software development
organization (the “Premise Software Development Organization”) for 2009. Schedule 6.19(ii) sets forth Premise’s projection as of the
date hereof of Premise’s 2009 Plan of Record (the “POR”) and Premise’s staffing plans for 2009 for the Premise Software Development
Organization (the “Staffing Plan”). The Performance Plans and Staffing Plan together reflect plans of Premise, which Premise in good
faith believes are realistic and achievable in the ordinary course of business as previously conducted without adding additional
headcount, staff overtime, supplemental headcount from Eclipsys or third parties, or other extraordinary efforts, the costs of which in the
aggregate exceed, in any material respect, aggregate costs of the Staffing Plan reflected in the POR. It is important to Eclipsys that the
Development Plan be achieved within the Staffing Plan.
79
(b) For purposes of facilitating the efforts of the Premise Software Development Organization to meet the Performance Plans in
accordance with the Staffing Plan, it is agreed that:
(i) Subject to paragraph (c) below, Eric Rosow and Craig Gravina (the “Development Managers”) shall have day-to-day
operational control over the Premise Software Development Organization, including without limitation staffing (hiring/firing of
employees and consultants), allocation of resources and other employment related issues, subject to reasonable oversight by the
executive officers of Eclipsys, consistent with the responsibilities of those officers for management of the business of Eclipsys;
and provided that the Development Managers (A) may not deviate from the Performance Plans, the POR or the Staffing Plan in any
material respect without prior written consent by the Chief Executive Officer of Eclipsys it being understood that the Development
Managers will have flexibility as to how best to allocate resources within the costs contemplated by the Staffing Plan, and (B) shall
operate the Premise Software Development Organization consistent with past practices to the extent that doing so is not
inconsistent with the Performance Plans, the POR and the Staffing Plan.
(ii) The Development Managers shall prepare reasonable written plans to achieve the Performance Plans within the POR and
Staffing Plan (the “Development Plans”), which Development Plans shall (A) include planned resource allocations, schedules, and
interim milestones; (B) be of such quality, scope and level of detail at least as good as previous Premise practice and consistent
with reasonable professional standards for commercial software development; and (C) be prepared and delivered to Eclipsys
management not later than January 31, 2009 and subsequently as materially modified or supplemented by the Development
Managers with the written consent of any of the Eclipsys CEO, EVP Client Solutions or SVP Software Development, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(iii) As and when reasonably requested by the Eclipsys CEO, EVP Client Solutions or SVP Software Development, the
Development Managers will report the status of performance against the Development Plans so as to permit Eclipsys to exercise
reasonable oversight and evaluate the results of the activities and performance of the Premise Software Development Organization.
(iv) The balance, if any, remaining in the Software Development Escrow Fund shall be liquidated, and paid to the
Stockholders’ Fund if, prior to December 31, 2009, either of the Development Managers is terminated without “Cause” without the
consent of the Stockholders Representative or resigns for “Good Reason” or “Justification”, as those terms are defined in their
respective Employment Agreements and/ or employees’ Proprietary Information Protection Agreement with Eclipsys.
80
(v) If there is any material change, modification or additions to the Performance Plans without the approval of the
Stockholders Representative, an appropriate and corresponding change shall be made in the POR, as mutually agreed between
Eclipsys, on the one hand, and, on the other, the Development Managers and the Stockholders’ Representative.
(vi) The balance, if any, remaining in the Software Development Escrow Fund shall be liquidated, and paid to the Stockholders
Fund if Eclipsys (A) does not provide the Premise Software Development Organization with resources reasonably comparable to
those as have been employed and as called for by the Staffing Plan and with related operations support and funding substantially
consistent with the POR, or (B) otherwise takes any action that in any material respect adversely affects the ability of the Premise
Software Development Organization to meet the Performance Plans consistent with the POR and Staffing Plan, without the
approval of the Stockholders’ Representative.
(c) During 2009, Eclipsys and the Development Managers shall assess the performance of the Premise Software Development
Organization against the Performance Plans. If (i) the Premise Software Development Organization fails to meet in any material respect
any of the Performance Plans; (ii) or if any release of Software contemplated by the Performance Plans is of substandard quality, as
measured by unreasonable levels of non-acceptance or complaints by clients or by unreasonable inordinate levels of support activity
compared to prior Premise Software releases (each of the events described in these items (i) and (ii) a “Precipitating Cause”), then
Eclipsys may give notice (a “Change Notice”) to the Development Managers and the Stockholders’ Representative, and shall thereafter
promptly consult with the Development Managers regarding appropriate courses of action, and following such consultation Eclipsys
may add resources to the Premise Software Development Organization beyond those indicated in the Staffing Plan through additional
headcount, staff overtime, supplemental headcount from Eclipsys or third parties, or other measures, as Eclipsys determines in its
reasonable discretion are necessary or advisable to remedy the Precipitating Cause and minimize the risk that of subsequent Precipitating
Causes, or to remedy issues associated with released Software.
(d) The total direct cost to Eclipsys of such additional resources (including all salaries and wages, incentive compensation,
benefits, taxes, and other direct costs) (collectively, “Supplemental Development Costs”) from the date of their engagement until the
Scheduled Development End Date, shall be set forth in a notice (a “Supplemental Costs Notice”) which will be sent to the Development
Managers and the Stockholders’ Representative within ten (10) days after the end of each month in which they are incurred, and the
Stockholders’ Representative and Eclipsys shall provide the Escrow Agent joint instructions to pay such amounts from the Software
Development Escrow Fund to Eclipsys promptly after the delivery of each Supplemental Costs Notice, as and when such Supplemental
Development Costs are incurred by Eclipsys. The Development Managers or the Stockholders’ Representative may object to any
Change Notice or Supplemental Costs Notice within five (5) Business Days of his receipt thereof, and such objection shall be subject to
Section 11.13 but shall not delay delivery of joint payment instructions to the Escrow Agent or payment of Supplemental Development
Costs from the Software Development Escrow Fund to Eclipsys. Any balance remaining in the
81
Software Development Escrow Fund at the Scheduled Development End Date shall be deposited to the Stockholders’ Fund. If the entire
Software Development Escrow Fund is exhausted pursuant to this Section 6.19 before the Scheduled Development End Date, no
amounts from the Software Development Escrow Fund shall be payable for the benefit of the Effective Time Company Holders.
(e) It is understood and agreed that no representations or warranties are made in this Section 6.19 or elsewhere in this Agreement or
the other Transaction Documents as to the ability to achieve the Performance Plans with the Staffing Plan or otherwise, it being
understood that the Staffing Plan and Performance Plans are planning documents prepared by Premise in good faith, and therefore, other
than access to the Software Development Escrow Fund by Eclipsys in the manner set forth in this Section 6.19, no additional liability is
created by this Section 6.19. Although the failure to achieve the Performance Plans with the Staffing Plan does not cause any other
Damages under this Agreement, payments from the Software Development Escrow Fund to Eclipsys shall not prevent Eclipsys making a
claim for Damages under this Agreement in excess of amounts recovered by Eclipsys from the Software Development Escrow Fund if and
to the extent that the Damages incurred by Eclipsys in excess of amounts recovered by Eclipsys from the Software Development Escrow
Fund would be recoverable by Eclipsys other than pursuant to this Section 6.19.
ARTICLE VII
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION; REMEDIES
7.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants.

(a) The representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall survive until the Holdback Termination Date (the “Survival
Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 4.2, 4.3, 4.6(a), 4.9, 4.10, 4.11(b),
4.14(a), 4.14(c), 4.14(f)(i), 4.14(f)(iii), 4.14(j), and 4.16 (the “Core Representations”) shall survive until the earlier of (i) 90 days after the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period or (ii) the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date. The right to indemnification,

investigation conducted with respect to, or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date.
(b) The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely, except as
expressly provided otherwise herein.

the following:
(i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Premise or the Major Stockholders, or any of them,
contained in this Agreement (as modified by the Disclosure Schedule), or any of the other Transaction Documents (without giving
effect to (A) any supplement to the Disclosure Schedule after the date hereof, except for the Capitalization Update, or (B) any
disclosures set forth in Sections 4.4(e), 4.7(d)(i), 4.14(d), 4.14(e) or 4.19(b) of the Disclosure Schedule or deemed set forth in such
sections pursuant to Section 11.16);
(ii) any breach of any covenant of Premise prior to the Closing, or any breach of any covenant of the Major Stockholders, or
any of them, contained in this Agreement;
(iii) (x) a Third-Party Claim arising from or in connection with the operations of the Business before the Closing Date,
including but not limited to (A) errors and omissions in design, creation, implementation or maintenance of any of the Software
Products, (B) any failure of any of the Software Products to conform to commitments made on or before the Closing Date by or on
behalf of Premise to customers or third parties, or (C) any failure by Premise prior to the Closing Date to perform all material
obligations under the Material Contracts, and in each case notwithstanding disclosures set forth in the Disclosure Schedule; or
(y)(A) any return to Stryker Corporation of any amounts previously paid by Stryker Corporation to Premise under the iBed
Application Software Development Services Agreement between Premise and Stryker Corporation, dated February 25, 2008, (B) any
Excess Hartford Project Hours (which hours, for such purpose, shall be valued consistent with the estimates used to price
installation services under the Hartford Addendum), and any Excess Hartford Consulting Services (which consulting services, for
such purpose, shall be valued consistent with the estimates used to price installation services under the Hartford Addendum),
provided that the value of the Excess Hartford Project Hours and the Excess Hartford Consulting Services, in the aggregate,
subject to indemnity under this provision, shall not exceed $150,000, or (C) any deficit in the net amount collected for the Grady
Receivable during the period commencing one day after the Closing Date through the Grady Collection Date (that is, the amount by
which the Grady Receivable on the date hereof is greater than the Net Grady Collection, if any, through such date).
(iv) any claims by any current or former employees (including for such purposes persons filling a similar function) of Premise
or any of its predecessors arising from or in connection with events or circumstances preceding the Closing, or arising from or in
connection with the employment policies of Premise in place at any time prior to the Closing, or for the Emerson Software
Development Bonus or the Gravina Software Development Bonus, in each case to the extent not satisfied with funds in the
Stockholder Development Escrow Fund or the Stockholders’ Fund;
83
(v) (A) any and all Taxes of Premise with respect to (x) taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date or (y) any taxable
period that commences before and ends after the Closing Date to the extent attributable to the period prior to Closing, (B) any and
all Taxes arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (C) any and all costs and expenses incurred by
Premise in connection with disputes with taxing authorities relating to Taxes covered by this clause (v), including reasonable third-
party costs and expenses relating to disputes with taxing authorities; and
(vi) any payments made by the Surviving Corporation, Eclipsys or their successors and assigns pursuant to the
indemnification provisions referenced in Section 6.15(c),
provided that Eclipsys shall not be entitled to recover duplicate Damages under clauses (i) through (vi) to the extent claims could be made
under more than one of such clauses and such recovery of Damages shall be reduced by any Tax benefit or refund actually received by the
Surviving Corporation or Eclipsys as a result of the Damages.
The express written waiver by Eclipsys of any condition set forth in Section 8.2 based on the inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty, or on the nonperformance of or noncompliance with any covenant or obligation, will not preclude any right of Eclipsys or any other
Eclipsys Indemnified Party to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representation, warranty, covenant, or
obligation to the extent arising from a Third-Party Claim. For purposes of this Agreement, Damages may include in a particular case, to the
extent proven, but not be limited to, the amount by which the value of Premise and the Business is less than it would have been but for a
breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of Premise or the Major Stockholders, or the failure by Premise or the Major
Stockholders to fulfill their obligations hereunder.
(b) Eclipsys shall indemnify the Effective Time Company Holders and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors,
employees, stockholders, agents and representatives, and each of their respective successors and assigns (the “Premise Indemnified
Parties”) against and hold them harmless, reimburse and make them whole from and against any and all Damages to the extent arising
from or in connection with (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Eclipsys or Merger Sub contained in this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and (ii) any breach of any covenant of Eclipsys or Merger Sub contained in this
Agreement. The express written waiver by Premise of any condition set forth in Section 8.3 based on the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty, or on the nonperformance of or noncompliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not preclude any right
of the Premise Indemnified Parties to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such representation, warranty,
covenant or obligation to the extent arising from a Third-Party Claim.
(d) Any payments made pursuant to this Article VII shall, except as may otherwise be required by applicable Legal Requirements,
be treated for all purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.
84
(e) For the sole purpose of appropriately apportioning any Taxes relating to any taxable period that commences before and ends
after the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax that is attributable to Premise for the part of such taxable period that ends on the Closing

period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the
denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (ii) in the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income or
receipts, the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. The

before the last day of the Survival Period, the party seeking recovery for Damages provides notice in writing pursuant to Section 7.5 or
Section 7.6 of a claim for Damages specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by such party.
In such event, the party giving such notice shall continue to have the right to recover hereunder, and to all other rights and remedies
under this Agreement, with respect to the matter or matters to which such claim relates until such claim has been finally resolved and
payment made, if any.

days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period or (ii) the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, except to the
extent that on or before such date, the party seeking recovery for Damages provides notice in writing pursuant to Section 7.5 or
Section 7.6 of a claim for Damages specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by such party.
In such event, the party seeking recovery for Damages shall continue to have the right to recover hereunder, and to all other rights and
remedies under this Agreement, with respect to the matter or matters to which such claim relates until such claim has been finally
resolved and payment made, if any.
(c) A claim made under Section 7.2(a)(ii), with respect to actions of Premise or the Major Stockholders prior to the Closing, must be
made at any time prior to the last day of the Survival Period, except to the extent that on or before such date, the party seeking recovery
for Damages provides notice in writing pursuant to Section 7.5 or Section 7.6 of a claim for Damages specifying the factual basis of that
claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by such party. In such event, the party seeking recovery for Damages shall continue

specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by such party. In such event, the party seeking
recovery for Damages shall continue to have the right to recover hereunder, and to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement,
with respect to the matter or matters to which such claim relates until such claim has been finally resolved and payment made, if any.
7.4 Other Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Effective Time Company Holders shall have no liability (for
indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any matters under this Agreement unless the total Damages for matters hereunder exceed
$200,000, but once such amount has been met, the Effective Time Company Holders shall be liable for all of such Damages, including
such $200,000; provided, that, with respect to claims, rights or causes of action arising (i) from Stockholder Fraud, (ii) during the Survival
Period from a breach of any of the Core Representations, (iii) from the Emerson Software Development Bonus or the Gravina Software
Development Bonus; or (iv) with respect to matters under this Agreement described in Sections 7.2(a)(iii)(y), (v) or (vi): (A) these
thresholds shall be inapplicable so that the Effective Time Company Holders have liability from the first dollar of Damages; and (B) all
such Damages will be counted toward the threshold described in this Section 7.4(a).
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Eclipsys and Merger Sub shall have no liability (for indemnification
or otherwise) with respect to any matters under this Agreement unless the total Damages for matters hereunder exceed $200,000, but
once such amount has been met, Eclipsys shall be liable for all of such Damages, including such $200,000; provided, that, with respect to
claims, rights or causes of action arising (i) from Fraud by Eclipsys or (ii) during the Survival Period from a breach of the representations
and warranties contained in Section 5.5: (A) these thresholds shall be inapplicable so that Eclipsys has liability from the first dollar of
Damages; and (B) all such Damages will be counted toward the threshold described in this Section 7.4(b).
(c) For purposes of determining amounts to be indemnified under this Article VII (but not for purposes of determining whether
there is any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement), the representations and warranties
contained herein shall not be deemed qualified by any references herein to materiality generally or to whether any such breach results or
may result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Any claims by the Eclipsys Indemnified Parties for claims under Section 7.2(a)(i) through (vi) shall be first made against the
Escrow Fund; provided, however, that (1) any claim by the Eclipsys Indemnified Parties against a Major Stockholder under
Section 7.2(a)(i), with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of such Major Stockholder, or Section 7.2(a)(ii),
with respect to a breach of any covenant of such Major Stockholder, shall only be made directly against the Major Stockholder
(including the right to
86
make a claim with respect to any amounts payable to such Major Stockholder out of the Stockholders’ Fund, the True-Up Reserve Fund,
the Software Development Escrow Fund or the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement), and
(2) unless otherwise agreed by Eclipsys in writing, any payments to be made to an Eclipsys Indemnified Party in respect of Core
Representation Losses out of the Escrow Fund shall only be paid therefrom after payment of all Damages that are not Core
Representation Losses have been paid, or if payments are made with respect to Core Representation Losses prior to payment of all non-
Core Representation Losses, and the Escrow Fund is depleted as a result of such payments in respect of such Core Representation
Losses, then to the extent amounts are used to make payments in respect of such Core Representation Losses out of the Escrow Fund,
then the Eclipsys Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Major Stockholders as set forth herein for all Damages
that are not Core Representation Losses up to such amounts paid out of the Escrow Fund for Core Representation Losses. Liability for
claims in excess of the Escrow Fund for which all of the Major Stockholders are responsible shall be apportioned among the Major
Stockholders based on their Pro Rata Portion, and subject to the further limits described below. Once the Escrow Fund is exhausted, no
Effective Time Company Holder, other than the Major Stockholders, shall have any further liability under this Article VII, but each Major
Stockholder shall continue to be severally, but not jointly, liable to the extent provided in this Article VII; provided, however, that each
Major Stockholders’ liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any Damages:
(i) relating to any breach or inaccuracy of a Core Representation for which a claim is made prior to the third anniversary of the
Closing Date shall not exceed, in the aggregate, one hundred percent (100%) of the portion of the Purchase Price payable to such
Major Stockholder,
(ii) relating to any breach or inaccuracy of a Core Representation for which a claim is made on or after the third anniversary of
the Closing Date but prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, shall not exceed, in the aggregate, fifty percent (50%) of the
portion of the Purchase Price payable to such Major Stockholder,
(iii) relating to any breach or inaccuracy of a Core Representation for which a claim is made on or after the fifth anniversary of
the Closing Date shall not exceed, in the aggregate, fifteen percent (15%) of the portion of the Purchase Price payable to such
Major Stockholder,
(iv) relating to any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty contained in Article III or Article IV (other than the
Core Representations) or to any matters under this Agreement described in Section 7.2(a)(ii), with respect to actions of Premise or
the Major Stockholders prior to the Closing, or Section 7.2(a)(iii), (iv) or (vi) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, twenty-five percent
(25%) of the portion of the Purchase Price payable to such Major Stockholder, and
(v) relating to any matters under this Agreement described in Section 7.2(a)(v) shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of
the portion of the Purchase Price payable to such Major Stockholder (and such Major Stockholder’s liability shall not be limited by
anything contained in clause (iv), even if such liability may also relate to a claim under Sections 7.2(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (vi)),
87
provided, however, that with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of a Major Stockholder under Article III,
such Major Stockholder shall only be liable for such Major Stockholder’s breaches or inaccuracies. The Major Stockholders’ liability arising
from claims or causes of actions arising from Stockholder Fraud, and with respect to claims arising under Section 7.2(a)(ii) with respect to
actions of a Major Stockholder after the Closing, shall not be subject to any cap or limitation on amount, provided, that (1) with respect to
claims arising under Section 7.2(a)(ii) with respect to actions of a Major Stockholder, each Major Stockholder shall only be liable for breaches
by such Major Stockholder or breaches arising from the concerted action of such Major Stockholder, and (2) with respect to Stockholder
Fraud, each Major Stockholder shall only be liable if such Major Stockholder committed, or conspired to commit, such Stockholder Fraud.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, payments to Eclipsys for Damages shall be limited to the amount of Damages,
if any, that remains after deducting therefrom any provision or reserve with respect to such Damages reflected as a Current Liability.
Eclipsys and the Surviving Corporation (i) shall use commercially reasonably efforts to attempt to recover insurance proceeds to mitigate
Damages under any applicable insurance policies of Premise in place prior to the Effective Time, and shall consult with the Stockholders’
Representative in connection with any such insurance claim and give the Stockholders’ Representative the opportunity to provide input
into material decisions affecting such insurance claim and the handling thereof, and shall in good faith consider such input, and (ii) may,
but shall have no obligation to, attempt to recover under any insurance policy of Eclipsys in place at any time or under any insurance
policy of the Surviving Corporation in place after the Effective Time to mitigate any Damages. In the event of any recovery under clauses
(i) or (ii), Damages shall be reduced by the amount of any recovery under such policies, net of any costs of recovery, including any
increase in premiums arising from such claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no party shall be entitled to punitive
damages unless assessed in connection with a Third-Party Claim.
(f) The liability of Eclipsys (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of its representations,
warranties or covenants in this Agreement, shall not exceed, in the aggregate the portion of the Purchase Price remaining unpaid,
provided, this limitation on liability shall not be applicable to any Damages incurred by the Effective Time Company Holders with respect
to any Third-Party Claim, solely to the extent such Damages arise as a direct and proximate result of any breach or inaccuracy by
Eclipsys of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement.
(g) Subject to the terms of this Article VII, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Damages relating to a
claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII; provided, that the costs of mitigation efforts incurred by an indemnified Person
may be claimed as an indemnifiable Damages under this Article VII.
88
(h) Nothing herein shall limit, or be deemed to limit, the rights of Eclipsys against any Stockholder arising under the letter of
transmittal delivered by such Stockholder as described in Section 2.9(d).
(i) In no event shall any Stockholder be entitled to require that any Claim be made or brought against any other Person, including
Premise, before any claim for Damages is brought or claim is made by any Eclipsys Indemnified Party against such Stockholder or the
Escrow Fund hereunder in accordance with the terms and subject to the limitations of this Agreement.
7.5 Procedures Relating to Indemnification Involving Third-Party Claims.

(a) In order for a party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or
involving a claim or demand made by any Person not a party to this Agreement against such party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such
indemnified party must promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third-Party Claim after receipt
by such indemnified party of written notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not
affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced as a result of such
failure. Thereafter, the indemnified party shall promptly deliver to the indemnifying party after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof,
copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third-Party Claim. In the
event that more than one Major Stockholder is an indemnifying party hereunder, the indemnified party may provide the notices and other
communications required pursuant to this Section 7.5 solely to the Stockholders’ Representative.
(b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense
thereof and, if it promptly so chooses and acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party therefor, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party, provided, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the
indemnified party. Should the indemnifying party assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to
the indemnified party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. If the
indemnifying party assumes such defense, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ
counsel (not reasonably objected to by the indemnifying party), at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the
indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense. However, notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates is an indemnified party in connection with a Third-Party Claim involving any Company IP,
any then current employee or other person filling a similar function, or any then current client or supplier (including the owner of any
Intellectual Property then used in the Business), Eclipsys may control the defense, at the cost of the indemnifying party; provided,
however, that in such event, that Eclipsys shall in good faith, and to the extent reasonably permitted by any applicable protective or
confidentiality orders and subject to the maintenance of all applicable attorney-client and attorney work product privileges, provide
updates to the indemnifying party (or if there is more than one indemnified party, the Stockholders’ Representative) to permit the
indemnifying party to reasonably monitor and provide the indemnifying party the opportunity to provide input into material decisions
affecting such claim and the handling thereof, including, as applicable, the potential settlement of such claim, and shall in good faith
consider such input.
89
(c) The indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party in
connection with a Third-Party Claim for any period during which the indemnifying party has failed to assume or is not entitled to assume
the defense thereof; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but
substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for
the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to one local counsel, where applicable). In connection with
any Third-Party Claim, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall cooperate with each other in the defense or prosecution
thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnified or indemnifying party’s request) the provision to such
party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees (including persons
filling a similar function) available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material
provided hereunder, including deposition or trial testimony.
(d) If the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party may settle, compromise
or discharge such Third-Party Claim in good faith with the indemnified party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided such settlement, compromise or discharge, by its terms, obligates the indemnifying party to
pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim, releases the indemnified party completely in connection
with such Third-Party Claim and does not impose any equitable remedies. If the indemnifying party shall not have assumed the defense
of a Third-Party Claim or if the indemnified party assumes the defense thereof, the indemnified party may settle, compromise or discharge
such Third-Party Claim in good faith with the indemnifying party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim (and
shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the indemnified party in defending such Third-Party Claim) if:
(i) the Third-Party Claim seeks an Order or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the indemnified
party, which the indemnified party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any
related claim for money damages, or
(ii) the indemnified party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, that joint representation would be
expected to give rise to a conflict of interest.
If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third-Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages. All claims under Section 7.2 other
than Third-Party Claims shall be governed by Section 7.6.
90
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Eclipsys and Premise shall have the sole right to represent the interests of Premise in all Tax
audits and administrative and court proceedings and to employ counsel of its choice; provided, however, that, to the extent relating to
Taxes for which the Major Stockholders are liable pursuant to Section 7.2(a), the Stockholders’ Representative, in its sole discretion,
shall have the right to participate in or control any such proceeding and shall have full control over the resolution or settlement of any
such matters; provided, that, in the event that any such adjustment would have an adverse effect on Premise for a period ending after
the Closing Date, the Stockholders’ Representative (i) shall permit Eclipsys to participate in the proceeding to the extent the adjustment
may affect the Tax liability of Premise for a period ending after the Closing Date and (ii) shall not settle or otherwise compromise such
proceeding without the prior written consent of Eclipsys, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. To the extent
the Stockholders’ Representative does not assume full control over any such matters, Eclipsys shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to defend positions taken on Tax Returns for Taxes for which the Major Stockholders are liable pursuant to Section 7.2(a) and shall keep
the Stockholders’ Representative reasonably informed of the progress of any such proceedings and shall not settle or otherwise
compromise such proceeding without prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Eclipsys and the Stockholders’ Representative shall bear their own expenses incurred in connection with audits and
other administrative judicial proceedings relating to Taxes for which such party and its Affiliates are liable under Section 7.2(a).
7.6 Other Claims. A claim by any party for reimbursement, make whole or other recovery for Damages arising from any event,
circumstance or condition not involving a Third-Party Claim that may be payable under the terms of this Agreement may be asserted by
written notice to the party or parties from whom such recovery is sought (or to the Stockholders’ Representative, if such recovery is sought
from more than one of the Stockholders) and, unless disputed, shall be paid promptly after receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no party shall be liable to any other for any punitive damages pursuant to this Section 7.6. Any dispute relating thereto shall be
settled in accordance with Section 11.13.
7.7 Set-Off. In addition to any rights of set-off, off-set or other rights that Eclipsys may have at common law, by statute or otherwise,
Eclipsys shall have the right to set-off against the Escrow Fund, at any time, and any amounts payable to Major Stockholders out of the True-
Up Reserve Fund, the Software Development Escrow Fund and the Stockholders’ Fund held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow
Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the Escrow Agreement, any amounts owing by any Major Stockholder to Eclipsys
pursuant to this Article VII; provided, however, that (A) notwithstanding the exercise by Eclipsys of the right to set-off described in this
Section 7.7, Eclipsys and the Stockholders shall remain obligated to first comply with their respective obligations described in Section 7.5 and
Section 7.6 and (B) with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of a Major Stockholder under Article III,
Eclipsys shall only have the right of set-off against amounts owed to such breaching Major Stockholder. Neither the exercise of nor failure to
exercise any such right of set-off will constitute an election of remedies or limit Eclipsys in any manner in the
91
enforcement of other remedies available to it hereunder and the exercise by Eclipsys of the right of set-off against the Escrow Fund or other
amounts the Escrow Agent or Eclipsys would otherwise be required to pay to any Major Stockholder shall not be the sole or exclusive remedy
of Eclipsys for recovery of any amounts owed by the Stockholders to Eclipsys under this Article VII.
7.8 Recovery in the Case of Strict Liability or Negligence. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT, SUBJECT TO THE OTHER TERMS
AND CONDITIONS IN THIS ARTICLE VII, AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION FOR ALL OF ITS
DAMAGES, AND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE VII SHALL BE INTERPRETED TO PERMIT RECOVERY OF SUCH DAMAGES TO
THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AND SUCH INDEMNIFICATION SHALL NOT BE LIMITED AS A
RESULT OF ANY LEGAL REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW OR PRODUCTS LIABILITY LAW), OR AS A
RESULT OF SOLE OR CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY BEING IMPOSED ON THE PERSON SEEKING SUCH INDEMNIFICATION OR
OTHER RECOVERY, AND ANY CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE PERSON SEEKING SUCH
INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHER RECOVERY SHALL NOT LIMIT DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES ARE NOT
ATTRIBUTABLE TO SUCH CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE.
7.9 Sole and Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Should the Closing occur (i) the sole and exclusive remedies of Eclipsys and Merger Sub for any breach or inaccuracy of the
representations and warranties and covenants of Premise and the Major Stockholders under this Agreement and any other Transaction
Documents (except to the extent expressly provided in such Transaction Documents), whether such claims be in contract, tort or
otherwise, shall be the remedies provided in this Article VII, and Eclipsys and Merger Sub hereby waive, from and after the Closing, any
and all other remedies which may be available at law or equity for any breach or inaccuracy or alleged breach or inaccuracy of the
representations and warranties and covenants of Premise and the Major Stockholders hereunder, and (ii) the Stockholders’ sole and
exclusive remedies for any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties and covenants of Eclipsys and Merger Sub under
this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (except to the extent expressly provided in such Transaction Documents),
whether such claims be in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be the remedies provided in this Article VII, and each of the Stockholders, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby waives, and by approval hereof by the Stockholders, shall be deemed to have waived, from
and after the Closing, any and all other remedies which may be available at law or equity for any breach or inaccuracy or alleged breach
or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties and covenants of Eclipsys and Merger Sub hereunder. If the Closing does not occur,
the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties shall be as set forth in Section 9.5, and the provisions of this Article VII shall be inapplicable.
(b) Nothing in this Article VII shall (i) limit the right of any party to seek injunctive or other equitable relief for any breach or alleged
or threatened breach of any covenant in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, provided that the exercise of any
92
equitable relief shall be subject to Section 11.11, or (ii) limit the rights of the Major Stockholders to seek any remedies with respect to
Fraud by Eclipsys, or Eclipsys to seek any remedies with respect to Stockholder Fraud in connection herewith or transactions
contemplated hereby (including limiting the time such claims can be made, or making such claims subject to any deductibles set forth
herein).
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the concept of “indemnity” as used in this Article VII is intended to include claims between or
among the parties to this Agreement and not involving any third-party, as well as Third-Party Claims, and the limitation set forth in this
Section 7.9 of remedies for breach or inaccuracies of representations and warranties under this Agreement is not intended to preclude
claims between or among the parties, including but not limited to claims for breach of contract or Fraud, which claims are, however,
intended to be governed by this Article VII.

ARTICLE X
TAX MATTERS
The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Eclipsys and the Stockholders for certain Tax matters
following the Closing Date:
10.1 Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Eclipsys shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns for
Premise for Tax periods described in Section 7.2(a)(v) and that are filed after the Closing Date on a basis consistent with past custom and
practice, unless there is not substantial authority for such position. Eclipsys shall deliver, at least 30 days prior to the due date for the filing of
such Tax Return (taking into account extensions), to the Stockholders’ Representative a statement setting forth the amount of Tax, if any, for
which the Effective Time Company Holders are responsible pursuant to Section 7.2(a), and a copy of such Tax Returns. The Stockholders’
Representative shall have the right to review such Tax Returns and statement prior to the filing of such Tax Returns. The Stockholders’
Representative, on the one hand, and Eclipsys, on the other hand, agree to consult and resolve in good faith any issue arising as a result of
the Stockholders’ Representative’s review of such Tax Returns and mutually to consent to the filing of such Tax Returns as promptly as
possible.
10.2 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) Subject to Section 7.5(f), Eclipsys, Premise, and Stockholders’ Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent
reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Article X and any audit, litigation
or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the
provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees
available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Eclipsys
shall permit the Stockholders’ Representative to retain a copy of Premise’s books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to
Premise relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the
extent notified by Eclipsys, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods.
100
(b) Eclipsys and the Stockholders’ Representative further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or
eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
10.3 Tax-Sharing Agreements. All tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving Premise shall be terminated
as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, Premise shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.
10.4 Certain Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees,
recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the Stockholders when due, and each Stockholder shall, at its own expense, file
all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable law,
Eclipsys shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.
10.5 Refunds or Credits. Except to the extent included as Current Asset, any refund or credit of Taxes that are received, recognized or
recognizable by the Surviving Corporation, or any of its successors or assignees, or credited against Tax to which the Surviving Corporation,
or any of its successors or assignees, become entitled that relate to Tax periods described in Section 7.2(a)(v) shall be for the account of the
Effective Time Company Holders and Eclipsys shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay over to the Effective Time Company Holders, in
their Pro Rata Portion, the amount of any such refund or credit on an after-tax basis within fifteen (15) days after receipt, recognition or
entitlement thereto.
10.6 Amended Tax Returns.

(a) Any amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund with respect to a Tax Return filed on or prior to the Closing Date shall be filed,
or caused to be filed, only by the Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not, without the prior written
consent of Eclipsys, make or cause to be made any such filing to the extent such filing, if accepted, reasonably might change the Tax
liability of Eclipsys or the Surviving Corporation for any Tax period.
(b) Any amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund with respect to a Tax Return filed after the Closing Date, shall be filed, or
caused to be filed, only by Eclipsys. Eclipsys shall not, without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, file, or
cause to be filed, any amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund for any such post Closing Date period to the extent that such filing, if
accepted, reasonably might change the Tax liability of the Stockholders for any pre-Closing Date period.

shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
11.5 Construction.
(a) The headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise “or” is not exclusive, and “includes” means “includes, but
is not limited to.”
(b) Each of the parties acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its choice throughout all negotiations that have
preceded the execution of this Agreement and that each party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and any and all drafts relating thereto exchanged between the parties shall not be
construed against any party by reason of its preparation. Accordingly, any ambiguities in this Agreement shall not be interpreted
against any party that may have drafted this Agreement.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall not be deemed to require a Person to undertake
extraordinary or unreasonable measures, including the payment of amounts in excess of normal and usual filing fees and processing fees.
11.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile
transmission or PDF by electronic transmission shall be effective delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.
11.7 Parties In Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and, except for the
Persons expressly set forth in Section 7.2 and Section 11.8, with respect to such sections, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, including
any employee or former employee of Premise (or any beneficiary or dependent thereof), including for such purposes persons filling a similar
function.
11.8 Prior Review and Counsel. Eclipsys and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and Premise and the Major Stockholders, severally and not
jointly, on the other hand, each represents and warrants that: (a) it was provided a fair and reasonable time in which to evaluate this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to negotiate their respective terms and conditions; (b) it has regularly consulted with
and received advice and counsel from one or more
104
attorneys of its own choice regarding the Merger, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the negotiation of each and every
one of them, which attorney(s) is/are not and was/were not any of the other party’s attorneys; (c) it has not received any legal or other
substantive advice or any attorney work product from any of the other party’s attorneys (including in-house attorneys), and it has not relied
upon any comment, observation, remark, communication or information (whether oral or written) made or delivered by any of the other party’s
attorneys (including in-house attorneys); and (d) it has read and fully understands this Agreement and each of the other Transaction
Documents. Each party’s attorneys (including in-house attorneys) shall be entitled to rely on the other party’s representations and warranties
made in this Section 11.8 as intended beneficiaries of such representations and warranties.
11.9 Waiver. No waiver of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made by any party, unless such
waiver is expressed in writing and signed by the party against which it is to be enforced (or the Stockholders’ Representative, with respect to
matters relating to all Major Stockholders or all Stockholders). The waiver by any party of any right under this Agreement or to a remedy for
the breach of any of the provisions herein shall not operate or be construed by the breaching party as a waiver of the nonbreaching party’s
remedies with respect to any other or continuing or subsequent breach.
11.10 Amendments. No amendment or modification in respect of this Agreement shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed
by the parties hereto (or the Stockholders’ Representative, with respect to matters relating to all Major Stockholders prior to the Closing or all
Stockholders after the Closing Date).
11.11 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not
performed by any other party in accordance with the terms hereof and, except as set forth in Section 9.5(b), that the parties shall be entitled to
an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in
any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled at
law or in equity.
11.12 Cumulative Remedies. Except as expressly limited herein, the rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative
and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law or equity.
11.13 Arbitration.
(a) Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than
the Employment Agreements) or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of
the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Washington, D.C., before a sole arbitrator;
provided, however, if the claim and any counterclaim, in the aggregate, exceed $750,000, exclusive of interest and attorneys’ fees, the
dispute shall be heard and determined by three arbitrators as provided herein. If any such dispute, claim or controversy arises at the
same time and relates to the same or similar facts, claims or events as any one or more other disputes, claims or controversies, such
disputes, claims or controversies
105
(including any dispute, claim or controversy under Section 2.11), shall, to the extent practicable, be combined in one arbitration
proceeding under this Section 11.13, and in such event, the provisions of this section governing dispute resolution shall supersede any
other provisions relating to such matters in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. If any dispute, claim or controversy
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Employment Agreements) arises at the
same time and relates to the same or similar facts, claims or events as a dispute, claim or controversy relating to or arising out of the
Employment Agreement of any Stockholder, the employment of any Stockholder by Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates including Premise,
such disputes, claims or controversies shall, to the extent practicable, be combined in one arbitration proceeding, and in such event, the
provisions of this Agreement governing dispute resolution shall supersede any provisions relating to such matters in the Employment
Agreement between any such Stockholder and Eclipsys or any Affiliate of Eclipsys. For the avoidance of doubt, no claim under any
Employment Agreement shall be governed by this provision, unless it arises at the same time and relates to the same or similar facts,
claims or events as a dispute, claim or controversy relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other
than the Employment Agreements).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any dispute, claim or controversy arises out of or relates to this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document (other than a dispute solely relating to any Employment Agreement), the parties shall first try to resolve their
dispute through informal and good faith negotiation between an authorized officer of Premise (or, after the Closing, the Stockholders’
Representative) and an authorized officer of Eclipsys, with authority to settle such dispute claim or controversy, before resorting to
arbitration. Such persons shall meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such dispute, claim or controversy within ten Business
Days after a written request from either Premise (or, after the Closing, the Stockholders’ Representative) or Eclipsys to the other. Such
representatives shall discuss the problem and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute promptly and without the
necessity of any formal arbitration proceeding relating thereto. The location, format and duration (not to exceed three Business Days,
unless mutually agreed by such representatives) of these negotiations shall be left to the discretion of the representatives involved. If
such negotiations do not lead to resolution of the underlying dispute, claim or controversy to the satisfaction of any party, then any
party may provide notice of the election to pursue resolution by arbitration as set forth herein.
(c) Any arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS pursuant to the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules of JAMS. All arbitrators shall be
retired or former district court or appellate court judges of any United States District Court or United States Court of Appeals, other than
courts in the States of Connecticut or Georgia, or such other person with such other qualifications as Eclipsys and Premise (or, after the
Closing, the Stockholders’ Representative) may agree, and shall be selected within seven Business Days after receipt of notice from one
party to another that it intends to seek arbitration hereunder. The Federal Rules of Evidence shall govern the admissibility of evidence
during the arbitration. The arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing
party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The determination of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the
parties and a judgment on such award or determination may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and such judgment shall be
final and nonappealable. The decision and award of the arbitrator(s) shall be accompanied by a reasoned opinion.
106
(d) All parties covenant not to appeal or otherwise litigate or file any court action that would seek to delay, amend, vacate or
otherwise alter the determination of the arbitrator(s).
11.14 Costs and Fees. The prevailing party in any arbitration or court proceeding under this Agreement, including any related appeal,
shall be entitled to recover its fees and costs incurred in the arbitration or proceeding (including attorneys and arbitration fees and costs) from
the nonprevailing party, provided, that the arbitrator or judge has the discretion to determine that there is no prevailing party or to eliminate or
reduce the prevailing party’s recovery of its costs and fees to the extent that the arbitrator or judge determines that full recovery thereof would
be unreasonable or disproportionate to the harm suffered by the prevailing party. In absence of a determination of a prevailing party, the
parties shall split equally all costs and fees. “Costs and fees” mean all reasonable pre-award expenses of the arbitration or other proceeding,
including the arbitrators’ fees, administrative fees, travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses such as copying and telephone, court costs,
witness fees, expert costs and fees, and attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses and other costs incurred in enforcing, perfecting and executing
such judgment or order. For the purposes of this section, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses shall include all such fees, costs and expenses
incurred in (i) appeals, (ii) post-judgment motions, (iii) contempt proceedings, (iv) garnishment, levy and debtor and third-party examinations,
(v) discovery and (vi) bankruptcy litigation.
11.15 Counsel to Premise. Eclipsys and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that Wiggin and Dana LLP has represented Premise and the
Premise Indemnified Parties in connection with this Agreement and all other agreements and instruments contemplated by this Agreement, and

Exhibit 10.8
Effective June 11, 2008
2008 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
APPENDIX A: DEFERRED STOCK UNITS FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
1. Purpose
The purpose of this Appendix A to the Eclipsys Corporation 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to grant Awards of deferred
stock units (“DSUs”) to Non-employee directors of the Company (“Non-employee Directors”). The Awards hereunder are made pursuant to
Section 8 of the Plan and are subject to the provisions of the Plan. Terms not specifically defined in this Appendix A shall have the same
meaning as in the main body of the Plan.
2. DSU Awards
(a) Initial Awards
In connection with joining the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), each new Non-employee Director shall be granted:
(i) for inducement and retention purposes, a number of DSUs equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $75,000 by the
Fair Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined in the Plan) on the date of issuance (the “Inducement
DSUs”); and
(ii) for compensatory purposes, a number of DSUs equal to the product of $11,000 and the number of full 30-day
periods from the date of election or appointment to the Board until the scheduled date of the next regular annual meeting of
stockholders (if the next annual meeting has not yet been scheduled, assuming the next annual meeting is scheduled to be
held on the same month and day as the immediately preceding annual meeting) (the “Pro-Rata DSUs”).
The Inducement DSUs and the Pro-Rata DSUs will be issued on the date of election or appointment to the Board, but if the date of
election or appointment to the Board is during a regular quarterly blackout period under the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, then upon
termination of that regular quarterly blackout period, but not earlier than the day after the completion of two full day trading sessions of the
principal exchange or market system upon which the Company’s common stock trades following the filing of the SEC report on Form 10-Q or
Form 10-K that includes financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal quarter of the Company. Each DSU will represent a notional
right to receive one share of Common Stock at the time specified below.
Each Initial DSU shall vest during continuation of Board service in 24 equal consecutive monthly increments following the date of award
or, if earlier, upon the occurrence of a DSU Change in Control (as defined below). Each Pro-Rata DSU will vest during continuation of Board
service in the same manner as described below for Annual DSUs.
b. Annual Awards
Each individual who is elected as a Non-employee Director at an annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (“Annual Meeting”), or
who is a continuing Non-employee Director immediately after such Annual Meeting, will be granted a number of DSUs equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing $125,000 by the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined in the Plan) on the date of the Annual
Meeting (the “Annual DSUs”). However, if the date of the Annual Meeting is during a regular quarterly blackout period under the Company’s
Insider Trading Policy, then the Annual DSUs shall be granted upon termination of that regular quarterly blackout period, but not earlier than
the day after the completion of two full day trading sessions of the principal exchange or market system upon which the Company’s common
stock trades following the filing of the SEC report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K that includes financial statements for the most recently
completed fiscal quarter of the Company. Each DSU will represent a notional right to receive one share of Common Stock at the time specified
below.
Each Annual DSU shall vest during continuation of Board service in 12 equal consecutive monthly installments following the date of the
Annual Meeting on which such Annual DSUs is issued or, if earlier, upon the occurrence of a DSU Change in Control, or the annual meeting
of stockholders immediately following the meeting with respect to which the Annual DSU was granted.
(c) DSU Change in Control

For purposes of this Appendix A, a “DSU Change in Control” shall occur if there is a Change in Control and there also is a change in
ownership or a change of effective control of the Company determined as follows:
(i) A change in the ownership of the Company that is a DSU Change in Control shall occur if any one person, or more
than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such
person or group, constitutes more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the Company.
However, if any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to own more than 50 percent of the
total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same
person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the Company (or to cause a change in the
effective control of the Company (within the meaning of paragraph (ii) below)). An increase in the percentage of stock
owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its
stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock for
2
purposes of this paragraph. This paragraph applies only when there is a transfer of stock of the Company (or issuance of
stock of the Company) and stock in the Company remains outstanding after the transaction.
For purposes of paragraph (i), persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or
own stock of the Company at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering. However, persons will be considered
to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition
of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations
(including the Company) that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction,
such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in the Company prior to the transaction
giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.
(ii) Notwithstanding that the Company has not undergone a change in ownership that is a DSU Change in Control
under paragraph (i), a change in the effective control of the Company that is a DSU Change in Control shall occur on the
date that either:
(A) Any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined under paragraph (i)),
acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such
person or persons) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 35 percent or more of the total voting power of the
stock of the Company; or
(ii) A majority of members of the Company’s board of directors is replaced during any 12-month period by
directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company’s board of
directors prior to the date of the appointment or election.
(iii) A change in effective control of the Company that is a DSU Change in Control shall also occur as a result of any
transaction in which either of the Company or the other corporation involved in the transaction has an event described in
paragraph (i) or (vi). For example, assume that the Company transfers more than 40 percent of the total gross fair market
value of its assets to company X in exchange for 35 percent of X’s stock. The Company has undergone a change in
ownership of a substantial portion of its assets under paragraph (vi) and company X has a change in effective control under
paragraph (ii).
(iv) If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to effectively control the Company (as
described herein), the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same person or persons is not considered to
cause a change in the effective control of the corporation (or to cause a change in the ownership of the Company within the
meaning of paragraph (i)).
3
(v) For purposes of paragraph (ii), persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase
or own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering. However, persons will be
considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or
acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both
corporations (including the Company) that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar
transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in the Company only with
respect to the ownership in the Company prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the
ownership interest in the other corporation.
(vi) The following rules determine whether there has been a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the
Company’s assets so that a DSU Change in Control has occurred:
(A) A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets occurs on the date that any
one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as defined in paragraph (i)), acquires (or has acquired during
the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the
Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40 percent of the total gross fair market value
of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair
market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined
without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.
(B) (1) There is no DSU Change in Control under this paragraph (vi) when there is a transfer to an entity that
is controlled by the shareholders of the Company immediately after the transfer, as provided in this subparagraph
(vi)(B). A transfer of assets by the Company is not treated as a change in the ownership of such assets if the assets
are transferred to:
(I) A shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect
to its stock;
(II) An entity, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Company;
(III) A person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or
more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company; or
4
(IV) An entity, at least 50 percent of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or
indirectly, by a person described in subparagraph (III) immediately above.
(2) For purposes of this subparagraph (vi)(B) and except as otherwise provided, a person’s status is
determined immediately after the transfer of the assets. For example, a transfer to a corporation in which the Company
has no ownership interest before the transaction, but which is a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company after the
transaction is not treated as a change in the ownership of the assets of the Company.
(3) Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase assets of the
Company at the same time. However, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a
corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of assets, or similar business transaction
with the Company. If a person, including an entity shareholder, owns stock in both corporations (including the
Company) that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of assets, or similar transaction, such
shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in the Company only to the extent of the
ownership in the Company prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership
interest in the other corporation.
3. Elective Deferral of Cash Compensation

(a) A Non-employee Director may elect to defer all or a portion of his or her cash annual retainer fees (but not committee chair fees or per-
meeting fees). All cash annual retainers that are being deferred to DSUs will be converted to DSUs on the day after the completion of two full
day trading sessions of the principal exchange or market system upon which the Company’s common stock trades following the filing of the
SEC report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K that includes financial statements for the fiscal quarter of the Company just ended. Such deferred fees
shall be converted to DSUs by dividing (i) the amount of cash deferred by (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (as defined in the
Plan) as of the date of conversion.
(b) All DSUs issued for deferred cash compensation under this Section 3 shall be fully vested at all times.
(c) A Non-employee Director who wishes to defer the receipt of cash compensation under Section 3(a) shall make an election with
respect to a coming calendar year during the time established by the Board, but in no event later than December 31 of the prior year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the first year in which a Non-employee Director becomes eligible to participate under this
Appendix A, the election to defer with respect to compensation earned for services to be performed subsequent to the election shall be made
within thirty (30) days after the date the Non-employee Director becomes eligible to participate. Any election made under Section 3 shall be
irrevocable for the year with respect to which it relates.
5
4. Dividends; Other Adjustments

In the event of a cash dividend with respect to the Common Stock, the number of DSUs will be increased as if such dividends were
reinvested in the Common Stock, based on the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date the dividend is paid. In the event of any stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in
capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than an ordinary cash dividend, the number of DSUs will be
equitably adjusted to reflect such occurrence.
5. Payment of DSUs
Shares of Common Stock equal to the whole number of vested DSUs credited to a Non-employee Director as of the date the Non-
employee Director ceases to serve as a member of the Board (or, if earlier, the date of a DSU Change in Control) shall be issued to the Non-
employee Director (or, following the Non-employee Director’s death, his or her Designated Beneficiary) on the earlier of the first business day
coincident with or next following (i) the cessation of Board service, or (ii) a DSU Change in Control.
6. Not Outstanding Stock

A Non-employee Director shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock represented by the DSUs
until he or she shall have become the holder of record of such shares.
7. Withholding Taxes
The Company shall have the right to deduct from all payments pursuant to Section 5 hereof an amount necessary to satisfy all federal,
state or local taxes as required by law to be withheld with respect thereto, or the Non-employee Director or other person receiving such
payment may be required to pay to the Company prior to delivery of such Common Stock or cash, the amount of any such taxes which the
Company is required to withhold, if any, with respect to such Common Stock or cash, or the Committee may allow a combination of the two
preceding methods.
8. No Right to Transfer
Except as specifically authorized by the Board, a Non-employee Director may not transfer the DSUs, or the rights represented thereby,
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except as specifically authorized by the Board, no purported assignment or transfer of
the DSUs, or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise (except by will or the laws
of descent and distribution), shall vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever.
6
9. Section 409A
This Appendix A is intended to comply with the rules under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this
Appendix A shall be administered in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In addition, if any provision of
this Plan would cause Non-employee Directors to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or
Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, the Company may reform such provision to maintain to the maximum extent practicable the
original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.
10. No Funding
The Company shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust any fund or money with which to make any payment under this
Appendix A. In any event, the payments to the Non-employee Director or to his or her Designated Beneficiary shall be made either in the form
of Common Stock or from assets which shall continue, for all purposes, to be a part of the general assets of the Company and no person shall
have by virtue of the provisions of this Appendix A, any interest in such Common Stock or assets. To the extent that any person acquires a
right to receive cash payments from the Company under the provisions of this Appendix A, such right shall be no greater than the right of any
unsecured general creditor of the Company.

Exhibit 10.14
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
This Restricted Stock Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of , by Eclipsys Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(“Eclipsys”) and (“Recipient”) to govern awards of restricted stock by Eclipsys to Recipient made from time to time pursuant to
Grant Notices (as defined below) that reference this Agreement as governing the awards reflected therein.
1. Grants of Restricted Stock. From time to time in its discretion, Eclipsys may grant and issue to Recipient shares of Eclipsys’s common
stock that are subject to the restrictions described in, and other provisions of, this Agreement (the “Restricted Stock”). No grants of
Restricted Stock are promised by this Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Stock will be documented by a written notice delivered by Eclipsys
to Recipient (a “Grant Notice”) stating: (i) that the Restricted Stock described therein is subject to this Agreement, (ii) the number of shares of
Restricted Stock subject to the grant, (iii) the schedule and any other conditions for vesting of the Restricted Stock, and (iv) such other terms
and conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock as Eclipsys may determine. As a condition to each grant of Restricted Stock, Recipient may
in the discretion of Eclipsys be required to pay to Eclipsys $.01 by cash or check for each share of Restricted Stock (the “Acquisition
Consideration”).
2. Governing Plan. The Restricted Stock shall be granted pursuant to and (except as specifically set forth herein or in another written
agreement between Eclipsys and Recipient) subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Eclipsys Corporation 2008 Omnibus
Incentive Plan or its successor plan (the “Plan”), which are incorporated herein by reference. Terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
3. Restrictions on the Restricted Stock.

(a) Limitation on Transfer. The Restricted Stock (including any shares received by Recipient with respect to shares of Restricted Stock as
a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting Eclipsys’s securities without
receipt of consideration) may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered
unless and until the conditions to vesting set forth in the Grant Notice are met and any additional requirements or restrictions contained in this
Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan have been satisfied, terminated or expressly waived by Eclipsys in writing. However, this will not
prohibit nominal transfers of Restricted Stock for estate planning purposes that do not effect a change in beneficial ownership, if the transferee
agrees in writing to the terms of this Agreement. Satisfaction of the conditions to vesting set forth in the Grant Notice and any additional
requirements or restrictions contained in this Agreement, and the resulting removal of the restrictions imposed hereunder from particular
shares of Restricted Stock, is also referred to as “vesting” of those shares and shares from which the restrictions have been removed are
referred to as “vested.”
(b) Cancellation of Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding Section 3(a), but subject to the Plan, any applicable Grant Notice, and any other
separate written agreement between Eclipsys and Recipient, if any Cancellation Event occurs, then (i) vesting of any shares of Restricted
Stock originally scheduled to vest after the time that Cancellation Event occurred will cease; (ii) any grant insofar as it relates to Restricted
Stock that has not yet vested will be cancelled; (iii) unvested Restricted Stock will be forfeited to Eclipsys and all rights of Recipient as a
stockholder of such shares will cease; (iv) Eclipsys shall be obligated to pay to Recipient, by cash or equivalent or by cancellation of amounts
owed by Recipient to Eclipsys or any Affiliate, any Acquisition Consideration per share previously received from Recipient in respect of all
shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited to Eclipsys; and (v) Recipient shall have no rights to or in respect of shares of Restricted Stock
that are forfeited to Eclipsys except the right to receive any Acquisition Consideration per share previously received from Recipient in respect
thereof. In case of
1
a Cancellation Event, any partially vested share will be rounded up to the nearest whole share for purposes of determining the number of
shares that are forfeited to Eclipsys. For these purposes, if Recipient is an employee of Eclipsys or any of its present or future parent or
subsidiary corporations (each an “Affiliate”) as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any
regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), a “Cancellation Event” means, and shall be deemed to occur upon, the cessation of
Recipient’s employment with Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates or its successor for any reason, including without limitation resignation by
Recipient with or without good reason, or termination of employment by Eclipsys or any Affiliate or its successor with or without cause.
4. Voting and Other Rights. During the period prior to vesting, except as otherwise provided herein, Recipient will have all of the rights
of a stockholder with respect to all of the Restricted Stock, including without limitation the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the right to
receive all dividends or other distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock. In connection with the payment of such dividends or other
distributions, Eclipsys will be entitled to deduct from any amounts otherwise payable by Eclipsys to Recipient (including without limitation
salary or other compensation), except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or regulation, any taxes or other amounts required by any
governmental authority to be withheld and paid over or deposited to such authority for Recipient’s account.
5. Handling of Shares.
(a) Certificates or Book Entries. Eclipsys may in its discretion issue physical certificates representing Restricted Stock, or cause the
Restricted Stock to be recorded in book entry or other electronic form and reflected in records maintained by or for Eclipsys. Each certificate or
data base entry representing any unvested portion of any Restricted Stock may be endorsed with a legend substantially as set forth below, as
well as such other legends as Eclipsys may deem appropriate to comply with applicable laws and regulations:
The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to certain limitations on transfer and other restrictions as set forth in the Eclipsys
Corporation 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (copies of which are available for inspection at the offices of Eclipsys), and the notice of grant
applicable to the securities.
(b) Escrow. With respect to each unvested share of Restricted Stock (including any shares received by Recipient with respect to shares
of Restricted Stock that have not yet vested as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization or a similar
transaction affecting Eclipsys’s securities without receipt of consideration), the Secretary of Eclipsys, or such other escrow holder as the
Secretary may appoint, will retain physical custody of any certificate representing such share until such share vests.
(c) Delivery of Certificates. As soon as practicable after the vesting of any Restricted Stock and upon request by Recipient, but subject
to Section 5(d), Eclipsys will deliver to Recipient or Recipient’s designee a certificate(s) free of restrictive legends representing such vested
Restricted Stock, or cause appropriate book entry or other electronic changes to be made to reflect Recipient’s ownership of such vested
Restricted Stock free of restrictions, in any case net of the number of shares, if any, withheld by Eclipsys in payment of tax pursuant to
Section 6(a).
(d) Conditions to Vesting. At the time for vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock, and as a condition to vesting, Recipient must, if
requested by Eclipsys, make appropriate representations in a form satisfactory to Eclipsys that such Restricted Stock will not be sold other
than (A) pursuant to an effective
2
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act;
(B) in compliance with all applicable state securities laws and regulations; and (C) in compliance with all terms and conditions of the Plan, the
applicable Grant Notice, any applicable policy of Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates, and any other written agreement between Recipient and
Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates.
6. Tax Matters.
(a) Recipient’s Tax Obligations. The vesting of Restricted Stock generally results in taxable income for employees and is subject to
appropriate income tax withholding, deposits, or other deductions required by applicable laws or regulations. Subject to any separate written
agreement between Recipient and Eclipsys, Recipient and Recipient’s successors will be responsible for all income and other taxes payable as
a result of grant or vesting of Restricted Stock or otherwise in connection with this Agreement. All obligations of Eclipsys or its Affiliates to
pay tax deposits to any federal, state or other taxing authority as a result of grant or vesting of Restricted Stock will result in a commensurate
obligation of Recipient to reimburse Eclipsys or its Affiliate the amount of such tax deposits. Eclipsys may in its discretion, but is not obligated
to, require that such obligation of Recipient be satisfied by the Recipient forfeiting and Eclipsys deducting and retaining from the shares
vesting at any particular time that number of shares with a value equal to the amount of the required minimum tax withholdings that Eclipsys or
its Affiliate is required to pay as a result of such vesting, with such value measured by the same value per share used by Eclipsys or its
Affiliate to determine its tax deposit obligation and based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state income and payroll
tax purposes that are applicable to supplemental wages. If Eclipsys or its Affiliate is required to pay additional tax deposits after the initial
issuance to Recipient of the net number of vested shares, Eclipsys or its Affiliate may require Recipient to make up the difference in cash. If
the tax deposits paid are less than Recipient’s tax obligations, Recipient is solely responsible for any additional taxes due. If Eclipsys or its
Affiliate pays tax deposits in excess of Recipient’s tax obligations, Recipient’s sole recourse will be against the relevant taxing authorities, and
Eclipsys and its Affiliates will have no obligation to issue additional shares or pay cash to Recipient in respect thereof. Recipient is
responsible for determining Recipient’s actual income tax liabilities and making appropriate payments to the relevant taxing authorities to fulfill
Recipient’s tax obligations and avoid interest and penalties.
(b) Section 83(b) Election. Recipient understands that Recipient may make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code (by filing an
election with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the date Recipient acquired the Restricted Stock) to include in
Recipient’s gross income the fair market value (as of the date of acquisition) of the Restricted Stock. Recipient may make such an election
under Section 83(b), or comparable provisions of any state tax law, only if, prior to making any such election, Recipient (a) notifies Eclipsys of
Recipient’s intention to make such election, by delivering to Eclipsys a copy of the fully-executed Section 83(b) Election Form attached hereto
as Exhibit A, and (b) pays to Eclipsys an amount sufficient to satisfy any taxes or other amounts required by any governmental authority to be
withheld or paid over to such authority for Recipient’s account, or otherwise makes arrangements satisfactory to Eclipsys for the payment of
such amounts through withholding or otherwise. Recipient understands that if Recipient has not made a proper and timely Section 83(b)
election, at the time the forfeiture restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock lapse, Section 83 will generally provide that Recipient will
recognize ordinary income and be taxed in an amount equal to the fair market value (as of the date the forfeiture restrictions lapse) of the
Restricted Stock less any Acquisition Consideration paid for the Restricted Stock. For this purpose, the term “forfeiture restrictions” includes
the right of Eclipsys to acquire the Restricted Stock pursuant to its rights under Section 3 of this Agreement. Recipient acknowledges that it is
Recipient’s sole responsibility, and not the responsibility of Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates, to file a timely election under Section 83(b),
even if Recipient requests Eclipsys or its representative to make this filing on Recipient’s behalf. Recipient is relying solely on Recipient’s
own advisors with respect to the decision as to whether or not to file a Section 83(b) election.
3
7. Additional Agreements
(a) Independent Advice; No Representations. Recipient acknowledges that (i) Recipient was and is free to use professional advisors of
Recipient’s choice in connection with this Agreement and any grant of Restricted Stock, that Recipient understands this Agreement and the
meaning and consequences of receiving grants of Restricted Stock, and is entering into this Agreement freely and without coercion or duress;
and (ii) Recipient has not received and is not relying, and will not rely, upon any advice, representations or assurances made by or on behalf of
Eclipsys or any Affiliate or any employee of or counsel to Eclipsys or any Affiliate regarding any tax or other effects or implications of the
Restricted Stock or other matters contemplated by this Agreement or any Grant Notice.
(b) Value of Restricted Stock. No representations or promises are made to Recipient regarding the value of the Restricted Stock or the
business prospects of Eclipsys or any Affiliate. Recipient acknowledges that information about investment in Eclipsys stock, including
financial information and related risks, is contained in Eclipsys’s SEC reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, which have been made available
from Eclipsys’s Human Resources department and/or on Eclipsys’s internal web site for Recipient’s review at any time before Recipient’s
acceptance of this Agreement or at any time during Recipient’s employment or service. Further, Recipient understands that Eclipsys and its
Affiliates and their respective employees, counsel and other representatives do not provide tax or investment advice and acknowledges
Eclipsys’s recommendation that Recipient consult with independent specialists regarding such matters. Sale or other transfer of Eclipsys stock
may be limited by and subject to policies of Eclipsys or its Affiliates as well as applicable securities laws and regulations.
(c) Merger, Consolidation or Reorganization. In the event of a Reorganization of Eclipsys in which holders of shares of Common Stock of
Eclipsys are entitled to receive in respect of such shares any additional shares or new or different shares or securities, cash or other
consideration (including, without limitation, a different number of shares of Common Stock) (“Exchange Consideration”), then Recipient will
be entitled to receive a proportionate share of the Exchange Consideration in exchange for any Restricted Stock that is then still owned by
Recipient and not cancelled; provided that, subject to any Grant Notice or other separate written agreement between Eclipsys and Recipient,
any Exchange Consideration issued to Recipient in respect of unvested Restricted Stock will be subject to the same restrictions and vesting
provisions that were applicable to the Restricted Stock in exchange for which the Exchange Consideration was issued.
(d) No Right to Continued Employment or Service; No Positive Inference. Neither this Agreement nor any grant of Restricted Stock
confers upon Recipient any right to continue as an employee, director or consultant of, or in any other relationship with, Eclipsys or its
Affiliates, or to any particular employment or service tenure or minimum vesting of Restricted Stock, or limits in any way the right of Eclipsys
or its Affiliates to terminate Recipient’s services to Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates at any time, with or without cause. Restricted Stock is to
motivate and reward future performance, and no grant of Restricted Stock will be interpreted as a reward for past performance that dictates
vesting in advance of the vesting schedule specified in the applicable Grant Notice, or an indication that the Recipient has performed well or is
entitled to any particular employment or service tenure.
(e) Remedy for Breach of Legal Obligations. As a condition to vesting of any Restricted Stock, Recipient must enter into the Eclipsys
Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement, in the form specified by Eclipsys. If Recipient breaches in any material respect the Proprietary
Interest Protection Agreement between Recipient and Eclipsys, or any other contract between Recipient and Eclipsys, or
4
Recipient’s common law duty of confidentiality or trade secret protection, and Recipient fails to cure that breach in full within ten days of
notice and demand for cure by Eclipsys, then such breach shall entitle Eclipsys, in its discretion and in addition to any other legal or equitable
remedies available to it, to do any or all of the following:
(1) recover from Recipient any shares of Restricted Stock still owned by Recipient, whether or not vested, solely for payment of any
Acquisition Consideration previously paid by Recipient for the recovered shares, whereupon any rights of Recipient to such recovered shares
of Restricted Stock will cease;
(2) require Recipient to disgorge to Eclipsys the gross income Recipient earned (i.e. sales price less any Acquisition Consideration) upon
transfer by Recipient, at any time from 12 months before such breach until 12 months after the Eclipsys learned of such breach, of any vested
shares of Restricted Stock; and/or
(3) obtain injunctive relief or other similar remedy in any court with appropriate jurisdiction in order to specifically enforce the provisions
hereof.
Eclipsys may suspend any vesting or transfer of Restricted Stock pending cure of any such breach.
8. General.
(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is personal in its nature and Recipient may not assign or transfer Recipient’s rights under
this Agreement, except as specifically provided herein or permitted by Eclipsys in writing.
(b) Notices. Any notices, demands or other communications required or desired to be given by any party shall be in writing and shall be
validly given to another party if served personally or if deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested. If such notice, demand or other communication shall be served personally, service shall be conclusively deemed made at the
time of such personal service. If such notice, demand or other communication is given by mail, such notice shall be conclusively deemed given
forty-eight (48) hours after the deposit thereof in the United States mail addressed to the party to whom such notice, demand or other
communication is to be given as hereinafter set forth, provided that either party may change its address for the purpose of receiving notices,
demands and other communications by providing written notice to the other party in the manner described in this paragraph:
To Eclipsys: Eclipsys Corporation

Three Ravinia Drive, Suite 1000
Atlanta, GA 30346
Attention: General Counsel
To Recipient: At Recipient’s address of record as maintained in Eclipsys’s employment files
(c) Entire Agreement. Except as this Agreement and/or another written agreement between Eclipsys and Recipient may expressly provide
otherwise, this Agreement, the Plan, and any Grant Notices constitute the entire agreement and understanding of Eclipsys (together with its
Affiliates) and Recipient with respect to Restricted Stock, and supersede all prior written or verbal agreements and understandings between
Recipient and Eclipsys (together with its Affiliates) relating to such subject matter. Recipient has not received and is not relying upon, and will
not rely upon, any representations by any employee of or counsel to or other representative of Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates in connection
with this Agreement or any grant of Restricted Stock hereunder. This Agreement may only be amended by written instrument signed by
Recipient and an authorized officer of Eclipsys.
5
(d) Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to
agreements executed and to be wholly performed within the State of Delaware. If any provision of this Agreement as applied to any party or to
any circumstance is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity of that provision
shall in no way affect (to the maximum extent permissible by law) the application of such provision under circumstances different from those
adjudicated by the court, the application of any other provision of this Agreement, or the enforceability or invalidity of this Agreement as a
whole. If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by reason of the scope,
extent or duration of its coverage, then such provision shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to
be valid and enforceable or, if such provision cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties, then such
provision will be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(e) Remedies. All rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement or by law shall be cumulative, and no such right or remedy
shall be exclusive of any other. A party may pursue any one or more rights or remedies hereunder or may seek damages or specific
performance in the event of another party’s breach hereunder or may pursue any other remedy by law or equity, whether or not stated in this
Agreement.
(f) Arbitration. Any and all disputes and claims between Recipient and Eclipsys that arise out of this Agreement shall be resolved
through final and binding arbitration. Any claim under this Agreement must be commenced by a claimant within 365 days of the date on which
the cause of action accrues (unless a contractual limitation on duration of claims is impermissible or a longer period of time is required by law,
in which case the end of the minimum required period will be the deadline for commencing claims), or it will be deemed waived. Binding
arbitration will be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association.
Recipient understands and agrees that the arbitration shall be instead of any civil litigation and that this means that Recipient is waiving
Recipient’s right to a jury trial as to such claims. The parties further understand and agree that the arbitrator’s decision shall be final and
binding to the fullest extent permitted by law and enforceable by any court having jurisdiction. If and to the extent necessary to make this
arbitration provision enforceable, Eclipsys shall pay the arbitrator’s compensation and any fees for the arbitration, unless the arbitrator directs
otherwise in the award, or unless the law where the arbitration occurs provides otherwise.
(g) Interpretation. Headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement, and will not affect
the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. References herein to Sections are references to the referenced Section hereof, unless
otherwise specified.
(h) Waivers; Amendments. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed
as a waiver of any later breach of that provision. This Agreement may be modified only by written agreement signed by Recipient and
Eclipsys.
(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Facsimile or photographic copies of originally signed copies of this
Agreement will be deemed to be originals.

Effective , you have been granted shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of Eclipsys Corporation (the “Company”).
This notice is a “Grant Notice” as described in the Restricted Stock Agreement between you and the Company (the “Agreement”). This grant
is made under, and this grant and the Shares are subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of, this Grant Notice, the Agreement
including the restrictions on transfer set forth therein, the Company’s 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and any other applicable
written agreement between you and the Company. By your acceptance, you agree to such terms and conditions and confirm that your receipt
of and payment for the Shares is voluntary.
For purposes of this Grant Notice, there are four “Vesting Dates” as follows:
. Subject to the following paragraph, the Shares shall vest in four annual installments, each consisting of 25% of
the total number of shares, with one such installment vesting on each of the four Vesting Dates. Only whole Shares shall vest; partial Shares
shall accumulate to the next Vesting Date.
Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement or in another written agreement between you and the Company, (i) no Shares will vest before
December 1, 2009; (ii) vesting of Shares will occur only on Vesting Dates, without any ratable vesting for periods of time between Vesting
Dates; (iii) any termination of your employment for any reason or no reason will result in cessation of vesting, cancellation of this grant, and
forfeiture to the Company of any Shares not vested at the time your employment terminates; and (iv) notwithstanding the foregoing, vesting
will be suspended during the portion of any leave of absence (LOA) you have in excess of 180 days, and if you return to work following such
a LOA, any Vesting Dates that passed during the suspension of vesting will be added to the end of the original vesting schedule, with vesting
on each such additional Vesting Date in the amount of shares not vested on the corresponding Vesting Date during the period of the
suspension, contingent upon your continued employment.
As a condition to vesting of any Shares, you must enter into the Eclipsys Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement, in the standard form
generally used for all new employees who live in your state of residence. If you breach in any material respect the Proprietary Interest
Protection Agreement between you and the Company, or any other contract between you and the Company, or your common law duty of
confidentiality or trade secret protection, and you fail to cure that breach in full within ten days of notice and demand for cure by the
Company, then such breach shall entitle the Company, in its discretion and in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies available to it,
to do any or all of the following: (1) cancel any shares of Restricted Stock still owned by you, whether or not vested, whereupon any rights
you might otherwise have to such canceled shares of Restricted Stock will cease; (2) require you to disgorge to the Company the income you
earned from any Restricted Stock that you transferred at any time from 12 months before such breach until 30 days after the Company learned
of such breach, and for this purpose net income means the value at time of transfer less applicable income taxes you paid in connection with
such shares; and/or (3) obtain injunctive relief or other similar remedy in any court with appropriate jurisdiction in order to specifically enforce
the provisions hereof. The Company may suspend any vesting or transfer of Restricted Stock pending cure of any such breach.
The Prospectus for the Plan, the Plan document and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other filings made by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission are available for your review on the Company’s internal employee web site. You may also obtain
paper copies of these documents upon request to the Company’s HR department.

Notice of Grant of Stock Option Eclipsys Corporation

ID: 65-0632092
[Name] Option Number:

[Address] Plan: 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan
Employee ID:
Effective (the “Issuance Date”), you have been granted a non-statutory option to buy shares of common stock of
Eclipsys Corporation (the “Company”) at an exercise price of per share. This option vests and becomes exercisable over a four-year
vesting period as follows: (i) with respect to 25% of the underlying shares on the first anniversary of the Issuance Date (the “First Vesting
Date”); and (ii) with respect to the remaining 75% of the underlying shares in 36 equal consecutive monthly installments on the same day (e.g.
the 14th day) of each calendar month following the First Vesting Date as the day of the month on which the Issuance Date occurs, provided
that vesting will not occur if you are not employed with the Company (as defined in the Plan) on the scheduled vesting date. The option
expires, to the extent not earlier terminated or exercised, on the seventh anniversary of the Issuance Date or such earlier date as the Plan
provides, and the Company has no obligation to notify you before expiration.
The option is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of this notice, the Company’s 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”), and any other applicable written agreement between you and the Company. By your acceptance of this option, and also by its
exercise, you agree to such terms and conditions and confirm that your receipt and exercise of this option is voluntary.
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or a separate written agreement between you and the Company signed by an executive officer of the
Company, (i) no vesting will occur before the First Vesting Date, vesting of the option will occur only on scheduled vesting dates, without any
ratable vesting for periods of time between vesting dates, and any termination of your employment for any reason or no reason (unless you
are then or are becoming a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) will result in cessation of vesting and lapse of the option to the
extent not yet vested at the time of termination; (ii) following any termination of your employment, you will have until the earlier of the
expiration of the option or the close of business on the first anniversary of the date of termination of your employment to exercise the option,
to the extent vested at the time of or as a result of termination of your employment; and (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, vesting will be
suspended during the portion of any leave of absence (LOA) you have in excess of 180 days, and if you return to work following such a LOA,
any scheduled vesting dates that passed during the suspension of vesting will be added to the end of the original vesting schedule, with
vesting on each such additional vesting date in the amount of shares not vested on the corresponding vesting date during the period of the
suspension, contingent upon your continued employment.
As a condition to vesting and exercise of this option, you must enter into the Eclipsys Proprietary Interest Protection Agreement, in the
standard form generally used for all new employees who live in your state of residence. If you breach in any material respect the Proprietary
Interest Protection Agreement between you and the Company, or any other contract between you and the Company, or your common law
duty of confidentiality or trade secret protection, and you fail to cure that breach in full within ten days of notice and demand for cure by the
Company, then such breach shall entitle the Company, in its discretion and in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies available to it,
to do any or all of the following: (1) cancel and terminate as of the date of such breach any unvested and/or unexercised portion of this stock
option; (2) require you to disgorge to the Company the net income you earned from any shares received by you upon exercise of this option
that you transferred at any time from 12 months before such breach until 30 days after the Company learned of such breach, and for this
purpose net income means the sales price less the exercise price less applicable income taxes you paid in connection with such shares;
(3) require you to tender back to the Company any share of Company stock you own that you acquired upon the exercise of this stock option
at a price equal to the exercise price you paid for such share; and/or (4) obtain injunctive relief or other similar remedy in any court with
appropriate jurisdiction in order to specifically enforce the provisions hereof. The Company may suspend any exercise of this option pending
cure of any such breach.
Unless otherwise permitted by the Company’s Board of Directors, you must pay the exercise price and meet any tax obligations in cash.
The Prospectus for the Plan, the Plan document, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other filings made by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission are available for your review on the Company’s internal employee web site. You may also obtain paper
copies of these documents upon request to the Company’s HR department.
No representations or promises are made regarding the duration of your employment or service, vesting of the option, the value of the
Company’s stock or this option, or the Company’s prospects. The Company provides no advice regarding tax consequences or your handling
of this option; you agree to rely only upon your own personal advisors.
