Ladies and Gentlemen:
Emdeon Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several
Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”), and certain shareholders of the
Company (the “Selling Shareholders”) named in Schedule I hereto severally propose to sell to the
several Underwriters, an aggregate of [ ] shares of Class A Common Stock, par value
$0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Firm Shares”), of which [ ] shares are to be
issued and sold by the Company and [ ] shares are to be sold by the Selling
Shareholders, each Selling Shareholder selling the amount set forth opposite such Selling
Shareholder’s name in Schedule I hereto. Defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein have
the meaning ascribed thereto in the Time of Sale Prospectus (as defined below).
The Selling Shareholders also propose to issue and sell to the several Underwriters not more
than an additional [ ] shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value
$0.00001 per share (the “Additional Shares”), if and to the extent that you, as managers of the offering, shall have
determined to exercise, on behalf of the Underwriters, the right to
purchase such shares of common stock granted to the Underwriters in Section 3 hereof. The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares
are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares.” The shares of Class A Common Stock, par
value $0.00001, of the Company to be outstanding after giving effect to the sales contemplated
hereby are hereinafter referred to as the “Class A Common Stock.” The Company and the Selling
Shareholders are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Sellers.”
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a
registration statement, including a prospectus, relating to the Shares. The registration statement
as amended at the time it becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), including the information (if
any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule
430A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is hereinafter referred
to as the “Registration Statement”; each prospectus included in such registration statement (and
any amendments thereto) before it becomes effective, any prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Securities Act and the prospectus included in the Registration
Statement at the time of its effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A is hereinafter referred to as a
“preliminary prospectus”; the prospectus in the form first used to confirm sales of Shares (or in
the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers
pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.” If
the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement to register additional shares of Class
A Common Stock pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration
Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to
include such Rule 462 Registration Statement.
For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule
405 under the Securities Act, “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus together
with the free writing prospectuses, if any, each identified in Schedule III hereto, and “broadly
available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under
the Securities Act that has been made available without restriction to any person. As used herein,
the terms “Registration Statement,” “preliminary prospectus,” “Time of Sale Prospectus” and
“Prospectus” shall include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein.
The transactions set forth in this paragraph and described more fully in the Time of Sale
Prospectus under “Organizational Structure” are referred to collectively as the “Reorganization
Transactions.” Prior to the date hereof, the limited liability agreement of the Company’s
subsidiary, EBS Master LLC (the “LLC”) has been amended such that the Company has become the sole
managing member of the LLC. The Company has amended and restated its certificate of incorporation
and reclassified the common stock held by its stockholders into an aggregate of [ ] shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company has redeemed from
its stockholders [ ] shares of its
2
Class A common stock in exchange for the rights by its stockholders to receive payments under one of the tax receivable agreements with the Tax
Receivable Entity (which rights were then immediately contributed (directly or indirectly) by the
Company’s stockholders to the Tax Receivable Entity). Pursuant to the merger of EBS Acquisition II
LLC and EBS Holdco I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, EBS Acquisition II LLC’s
members, all of whom are investment funds organized and controlled by General Atlantic, received an
aggregate of [ ] shares of Class A Common Stock and rights to receive payments under
one of the tax receivable agreements with the Tax Receivable Entity (which rights were then
immediately contributed (directly or indirectly) to the Tax Receivable Entity, in exchange for
their former indirect interest in the LLC) and EBS Holdco I, LLC remained as the surviving
corporation. Pursuant to the merger of H&F Xxxxxxxxxx AIV II, L.P. with EBS Holdco II, LLC, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, H&F Xxxxxxxxxx AIV II, L.P. received an aggregate of
[ ] shares of Class A Common Stock and rights to receive payments under one of the
tax receivable agreements with the Tax Receivable Entity (which rights were then immediately
contributed (directly or indirectly) to the Tax Receivable Entity, in exchange for Xxxxxxxxxx AIV
II, L.P.’s former indirect interest in the LLC) and EBS Holdco II, LLC remained as the surviving
corporation. Each of the H&F Continuing LLC Members continue to hold an aggregate of
[ ] EBS Units, and were issued [ ] shares of the Company’s Class B
Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, which have voting but no economic rights (the “Class B
Common Stock”), and also received rights to enter into one of the tax receivable agreements with
the Tax Receivable Entity (which rights were then immediately contributed (directly or indirectly)
to the Tax Receivable Entity). The eRX Members continue to hold an aggregate of [ ]
EBS Units and were issued an aggregate of [ ] shares of Class B Common Stock.
Additionally, the LLC will amend the Fifth Amended and Restated EBS Master LLC limited liability
company agreement such that, after the Effective Date but before the Closing Date (as defined in
Section 5), Grant Units since the date of grant
will be converted into [ ] vested and unvested EBS Units, and the right to enter into
a tax receivable agreement with the Company (the “TRA Rights”), which vested and unvested EBS Units
and TRA Rights will be distributed to participants in the EBS Master Amended and Restated Equity
Incentive Plan (the “EBS Equity Plan Members”). EBS Equity Plan Members (other than the Company’s directors) will also be granted unvested options
to purchase an aggregate of [ ] shares of Class A Common Stock, at the initial public
offering price in respect of Grant Units. The Company will also issue [ ] shares of
Class B Common Stock to recipients of EBS Units pursuant to the foregoing sentence. Subsequent to
the date hereof but before the Closing Date, the Company, in its capacity as managing member of the
LLC, will cause the vested EBS Phantom Awards to be converted into [ ] shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock
and the unvested EBS Phantom
Awards to be converted into [ ] unvested restricted stock unit awards, which will entitle a holder of such unvested
3
restricted stock unit awards to receive shares of Class A Common Stock upon vesting. In addition, the Company will issue the EBS Phantom Plan Participants unvested options to purchase
[____________] shares of Class A Common Stock at
the initial public offering price. The Company will also enter into a Unit
Purchase Agreement with certain of the EBS Equity Plan Members, pursuant to which it will purchase EBS
Units and shares of Class B common stock from the EBS Equity Plan Members using proceeds it receives
from the Firm Shares. The documents set forth on Schedule IV hereto, which have been, or will be,
amended or entered into, as applicable, pursuant to the Reorganization Transactions are referred to
as the “Reorganization Documents”.
[ ] (“DSP Bank”) has agreed to reserve a portion of the Shares to be purchased
by it under this Agreement for sale to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and business
associates and other parties related to the Company (collectively, “Participants”), as set forth in
the Prospectus under the heading “Underwriters” (the “Directed Share Program”). The Shares to be
sold by DSP Bank and its affiliates pursuant to the Directed Share Program are referred to
hereinafter as the “Directed Shares”. Any Directed Shares not orally confirmed for purchase by any
Participant by the end of the business day on which this Agreement is executed will be offered to
the public by the Underwriters as set forth in the Prospectus.

material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and present fairly in all material
respects the consolidated financial condition, the consolidated results of operations and the
consolidated changes in cash flows of the entities purported to be shown thereby as of and for the
periods specified in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“U.S. GAAP”); and the summary and selected historical financial data set forth in the Registration
Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus present fairly in all material respects
the information shown therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent in all material respects
with that of the audited consolidated financial statements set forth in the Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus or the unaudited condensed consolidated financial

3. Agreements to Sell and Purchase. Each Seller, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to
sell to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and
warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally
and not jointly, to purchase from such Seller at $[ ] a share (the “Purchase Price”) the
number of Firm Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may
determine) that bears the same proportion to the number of Firm Shares to be sold by such Seller as
the number of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule II hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter
bears to the total number of Firm Shares.
On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to
its terms and conditions, the Selling Shareholders agree to sell to the Underwriters the Additional
Shares, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to
[ ] Additional Shares at the Purchase Price. You may exercise this right on behalf of
the Underwriters in whole or from time to time in part by giving written notice not later than 30
days after the date of this Agreement. Any exercise notice shall specify the number of Additional
Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such shares are to be purchased.
The number of Additional Shares to be purchased from each Selling Shareholder, by the Underwriters,
collectively, shall equal the number of Additional Shares to be purchased from Selling Shareholders
collectively multiplied by the fraction obtained by dividing the number of Additional Shares to be
sold by such Selling Shareholder, as indicated on Schedule I hereto, by the total number of
Additional Shares, as indicated on Schedule I hereto (subject to such adjustments to eliminate
fractional shares as you may determine). The number of such Additional Shares to be sold by each
Selling Shareholder and purchased by each Underwriter from each Selling Shareholder shall be the
number of Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may
determine) that bears the same proportion to the number of Additional Shares to be sold by such
Selling Shareholder as the number of Additional Shares set forth in Schedule II hereto opposite the
name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Additional Shares set forth in Schedule II
hereto. Each purchase date must be at least one business day after the written notice is given and
may not be earlier than the Closing Date nor later than ten business days after the date of such
notice. Additional Shares may be purchased as provided in Section 5 hereof solely for the purpose
of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering
16

“Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number
of Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may
determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Shares to be purchased
on such Option Closing Date as the number of Additional Shares set forth in Schedule II hereto
opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Additional Shares set forth in
Schedule II hereto.
The Company hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of each of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx &
Co. Incorporated, Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co., UBS Securities LLC and Barclays Capital Inc. (the
“Representatives”) on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period ending 180 days

Common Stock or membership interests of the LLC, whether any such transaction described in clause
(1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Class A Common Stock, membership interests in the
LLC or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) file any registration statement with the
Commission relating to the offering of any shares of Class A Common Stock or any securities

interests in the LLC.
The restrictions contained in the preceding paragraph shall not apply to (a) the Shares to be

connection with the Reorganization Transactions as contemplated by the Reorganization Documents or
the Registration Statement, (f) any exchange of membership units of the LLC and a corresponding
number of shares of Class B common stock of the Company for shares of Class A common stock of the
Company, or exercise by the Company of its related call right, in each case in a manner consistent
with the provisions therefore detailed in the form of
17
the Sixth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the LLC filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement; provided in the case of this clause (f) that no filing under
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a change in beneficial ownership of shares of Class A
Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common
Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during such 180-day period or (g) the
issuance by the Company of Class A Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock in
connection with an acquisition or business combination (including the filing of a registration
statement on Form S-4 or any other appropriate form with respect thereto); provided that such

Common Stock outstanding immediately after the completion of the offering (assuming the exchange
for shares of Class A Common Stock of all membership units in the LLC and shares of Class B Common
Stock outstanding immediately after the completion of the offering) and provided further that
recipients of such Class A Common Stock agree to be bound by the terms of the lock-up letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the

9. Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not
to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission
under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that
otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the
Underwriter.
10. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter
within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused
by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale
Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act,
any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d)
under the Securities Act, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by
any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or
liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
24
statement or
omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company and the LLC in
writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.
(b) Each Selling Shareholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless
each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any
Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused
by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale
Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act,
any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d)
under the Securities Act, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by
any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only with reference to the Selling
Shareholder Information of such Selling Shareholder provided expressly for use in the Registration
Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. The
liability of each Selling Shareholder under the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph and
in respect of any claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties of such
Selling Stockholder contained in Section 2 hereof shall be several and limited to an amount equal
to the aggregate Public Offering Price less underwriting discounts and commissions of the Shares
sold by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement.
(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, the Selling Shareholders, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who
sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling
Shareholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including,
without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or
investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any
preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined
in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is
required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or the Prospectus (as amended
or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or
caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only with
25
reference to
information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company and the LLC in writing by such
Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary
prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus or the Prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto.
(d) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted
involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 10(a), 10(b)
or 10(c), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing, but the failure to so notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability it may have under Sections 10(a), 10(b)
or 10(c) above except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced
(through forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure and in any event the
indemnifying party shall not be relieved from any liability which it may have otherwise than on
account of Sections 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c) above, and the indemnifying party, upon request of the
indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In
any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such
counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the
same counsel would be in the reasonable judgment of counsel inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall
not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or
related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the reasonably incurred fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and
all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within
the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (ii) the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors, its
officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of either such Section and (iii) the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Selling Shareholders and all
persons, if any, who control any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either such Section, and
that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such
separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters,
such firm shall be designated in writing by the
Representatives. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such
26
directors,
officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the
Company. In the case of any such separate firm for the Selling Shareholders and such control
persons of any Selling Shareholders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the mutual
agreement of the Selling Shareholders. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent
or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an
indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as
contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees
that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent
if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party
of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified
party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless (i) such
settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c) is
unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or
parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of
the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 10(e)(i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause 10(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or
parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Sellers
on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the
Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the
offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by each Seller and the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth
in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering
27
Price of
the Shares. The relative fault of the Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other
hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by the Sellers and the LLC or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are
several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not
joint. The liability of each Selling Shareholder under the contribution agreement contained in
this paragraph shall be several and limited to an amount equal to the aggregate Public Offering
Price of the Shares less the underwriting discounts and commissions sold by such Selling
Shareholder under this Agreement.
(f) The Sellers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 10(e). The amount
paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities
referred to in Section 10(e) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were
offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 10 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at
law or in equity.
(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 10 and the
representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Shareholders
contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i)
any termination of this Agreement or the Inducement Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on
behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any
Underwriter, any Selling Shareholder or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder, or the
Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of
and payment for any of the Shares.
11. Directed Share Program Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless DSP Bank, each person, if any, who controls DSP
28
Bank within the meaning of either Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of DSP Bank within
the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act (“DSP Bank Entities”) from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (i)
caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
material prepared by or with the consent of the Company or the LLC for distribution to Participants
in connection with the Directed Share Program or caused by any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading; (ii) caused by the failure of any Participant to pay for and accept
delivery of Directed Shares that the Participant agreed to purchase; or (iii) related to, arising
out of, or in connection with the Directed Share Program, other than losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or expenses relating thereto) that are finally judicially determined to have resulted
from the bad faith or gross negligence of DSP Bank Entities.
(b) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted
involving any DSP Bank Entity in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section
11(a), the DSP Bank Entity seeking indemnity, shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the
Company, upon request of the DSP Bank Entity, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
DSP Bank Entity to represent the DSP Bank Entity and any others the Company may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In
any such proceeding, any DSP Bank Entity shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such DSP Bank Entity unless (i) the
Company shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such
proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and the DSP Bank Entity and
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be in the reasonable judgment of counsel
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not,
in respect of the legal expenses of the DSP Bank Entities in connection with any proceeding or
related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonably incurred fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all DSP Bank
Entities. Any such separate firm for the DSP Bank Entities shall be designated in writing by DSP
Bank. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff, the Company agrees to indemnify the DSP Bank Entities from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at
any time a DSP Bank Entity shall have requested the Company to reimburse it for fees and expenses
of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the Company agrees
that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent
if (i) such
settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by the Company of the aforesaid
request and (ii) the Company shall not have reimbursed the DSP Bank
29
Entity in accordance with such
request prior to the date of such settlement. The Company shall not, without the prior written
consent of DSP Bank, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of
which any DSP Bank Entity is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought
hereunder by such DSP Bank Entity, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the
DSP Bank Entities from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(c) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 11(a) is unavailable to a DSP
Bank Entity or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
therein, then the Company in lieu of indemnifying the DSP Bank Entity thereunder, shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by the DSP Bank Entity as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
the Company on the one hand and the DSP Bank Entities on the other hand from the offering of the
Directed Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 11(c)(1) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause 11(c)(1) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and
of the DSP Bank Entities on the other hand in connection with any statements or omissions that
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the DSP Bank
Entities on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Directed Shares shall be deemed
to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Directed
Shares (before deducting expenses) and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by
the DSP Bank Entities for the Directed Shares, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the
Directed Shares. If the loss, claim, damage or liability is caused by an untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, the
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the DSP Bank Entities on the other hand shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement or
the omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company and the LLC or by
the DSP Bank Entities and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(d) The Company and the DSP Bank Entities agree that it would not be just or equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the DSP
Bank Entities were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 11(b). The
amount paid or payable by the DSP Bank Entities as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the DSP Bank Entities in connection with investigating or defending any
such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
30
Section 11, no DSP Bank Entity shall
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the
Directed Shares distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any
damages that such DSP Bank Entity has otherwise been required to pay. The remedies provided for in
this Section 11 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be
available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(e) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 11 shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement or the
Inducement Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any DSP Bank Entity, the
Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of
and payment for any of the Directed Shares.
12. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the
Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i)
trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be,
any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market, the
Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade,
(ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any
over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance
services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking
activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall
have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any
calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together
with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the
manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
13. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date, or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the
Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase
hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate
number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated
severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective
names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate number of
Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such
other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which
31
such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall
the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be
increased pursuant to this Section 13 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares
without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or
Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares
with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm
Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you, the Company and the
Selling Shareholders for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such
default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Shareholders. In any such case either you or the relevant
Sellers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven
days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of
Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If,
on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase
Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default
occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such
Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their
obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or
(ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters
would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this
paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of
such Underwriter under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any
failure or refusal on the part of any Seller to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the
conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason any Seller shall be unable to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters
as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all documented
out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred
by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
14. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written
agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that
relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the
Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the
preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct
of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares, it
being understood that the Underwriters and the LLC will enter into the Inducement Agreement on
the Closing Date.
32
(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the
Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the
Company, the LLC or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company and the LLC only those
duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not
superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ
from those of the Company and the LLC. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by
applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of
fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.
15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the
same instrument.
16. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York.
17. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.
18. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co., UBS
Securities LLC and Barclays Capital Inc. ( the “Representatives”) propose to enter into an
Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Emdeon Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters
listed in Schedule II thereto, including the Representatives (the “Underwriters”), of shares (the
“Shares”) of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A
Common Stock”).
To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their
efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the
prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the
period (the “Lock-Up Period”) commencing on the date hereof and ending 180 days after the date of
the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering, (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell,
sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option,

shares of Class A Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for Class A Common Stock or any membership interests of Emdeon Master LLC (the “LLC”) or (2) enter
into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of the Class A Common Stock or any securities convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or membership interests of the LLC, whether
any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Class A
Common Stock, membership interests of the LLC or such other
A-1
securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transactions
relating to shares of Class A Common Stock, any membership interests of the LLC or other securities
acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, (b) transfers of

of descent or (3) to a family member or trust; provided that in the case of any transfer or
distribution pursuant to this clause (b), (i) each donee, beneficiary or transferee shall sign and
deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter and (ii) no filing under Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), reporting a

made during the Lock-Up Period (other than a filing on Form 5 when required); provided, further,
that in the case of transferees that are charitable organizations or trusts that receive Class A
Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock
from General Atlantic LLC or any of its affiliates (the “General Atlantic entities”), the lock-up
letters applicable to such entities will permit such transferees to collectively sell under Rule
144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, up to an aggregate number of shares of Class A
Common Stock equal to 1.0% of the shares outstanding immediately prior to the Public Offering,

Common Stock, provided that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Class A Common Stock
during the Lock-Up Period[, or (d) any pledge of Class A Common Stock by GapStar, LLC in favor of
the lenders under its credit facilities, as existing on the date hereof, or any transfer of Class A
Common Stock in connection with such pledge]1. In addition, notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, such
entity (and its transferees or distributees) may transfer or distribute Class A Common Stock or
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or membership
interests of the LLC to any wholly-owned subsidiary of such entity or to the partners, members,
stockholders or affiliates of such entity, or to a charitable or family trust, provided that each
donee, transferee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form

stock, par value $0.01 (the “Class A Common Stock”). This letter is being furnished at the request
of the Company in connection with the delivery of our opinion to you of even date herewith (the
“Opinion”) under the Underwriting Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in
this letter have the respective meanings given those terms in the Underwriting Agreement.
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-153451) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”). The Registration Statement was filed on September 12, 2008, was amended on
November 10 , 2008, June 16, 2009 and [ ] , 2009 and, we are advised orally by the
Commission, was declared effective by the Commission at [time] on [ ] , 2009. In this
letter, the Registration Statement at the time it became effective under the Act, including the
information deemed to be part of the Registration Statement under Rule 430A under the Act, is
referred to as the “Registration Statement”; the preliminary prospectus included in the
Registration Statement immediately prior to the Applicable Time is referred to as the “Pricing
Prospectus”; the Pricing Prospectus, taken together with the price of the Shares to the public and
the underwriting discount or commission, is referred to as the “Time of Sale Prospectus”; and the
prospectus dated [ ], 2009 included as part of the Registration Statement as filed as required by Rule 424(b) under the Act, is referred to as the
“Prospectus.”
The primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish factual matters or
financial, accounting or statistical information. In addition, many

determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus are of a wholly or
partially non-legal character or relate to legal matters outside the scope of the Opinion.
Furthermore, the limitations inherent in the independent verification of factual matters and in the
role of outside counsel are such that we have not undertaken to independently verify, and cannot
and do not assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of, the statements
contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus (other than as
explicitly stated in paragraphs, 6 and 9 of the Opinion).
In the course of acting as special counsel to the Company in connection with the offering of
the Shares, we have participated in conferences and telephone conversations with officers and other
representatives of the Company and the independent registered public accountants for the Company
during which conferences and conversations the contents of the Registration Statement, the Pricing
Prospectus, the Prospectus and related matters were discussed. Based upon such participation (and
relying as to factual matters on officers, employees and other representatives of the Company and
its subsidiaries), our understanding of the U.S. federal securities laws and the experience we have
gained in our practice thereunder, we hereby advise you that our work in connection with this
matter did not disclose any information that gave us reason to believe that (i) at the time it
became effective, the Registration Statement (except for the financial statements, financial
statement schedules and other financial data included or omitted therefrom, as to which we express
no such belief), included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein

or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii)
as of the Applicable Time, the Time of Sale Prospectus (except for the financial statements,
financial statement schedules and other financial data included or omitted therefrom, as
to which we express no such belief) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) at the time the Prospectus was
issued and at the Closing Date, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (except for
the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included or
omitted therefrom, as to which we express no such belief) included an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

We have also reviewed such certificates of public officials and such other matters as we have

Our opinion is not based on any independent verification or investigation of the accuracy,
completeness or fairness of the statements made or information contained in the Underwriting
Agreement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, except as set forth in paragraph 1 below.
As used herein, the term: (i) “Health Care Laws” means those provisions that pertain to the
provision of revenue and payment cycle management to healthcare providers found in statutes,
judicial rulings and decrees, and administrative or governmental regulations of the United States
of America and the State of Tennessee, including but not limited to the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996; the civil False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3733; the
administrative False Xxxxxx Xxx, 00 X.X.X. § 0000x-0x(x); and the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009; (ii) “Governmental Approval” means any consent, approval, authorization,
order, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority, other than any consent,
approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification which may have become applicable as a
result of your involvement in the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement or
because of your legal or regulatory status or because of any other facts specifically pertaining to
you; and (iii) “Governmental Authorities” means any court, regulatory body, administrative agency
or governmental body of the United States of America or the State of Tennessee.
Based upon and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set
forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. The statements as to matters of law, if any, made in each of the Time of Sale Prospectus
and the Prospectus under the captions “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Business — Government
regulation creates risks and challenges with respect to our compliance efforts and our business
strategies” and “Business — Regulation and Legislation” (collectively, the “Specified Prospectus
Sections”), insofar as such statements purport to constitute overviews or summaries of the Health
Care Laws referred to therein, constitute accurate summaries of the terms of such Health Care Laws
in all material respects to the extent of their applicability to the Company.
2. No material Governmental Approval is required under any Health Care Law for the issue and
sale of the Shares by the Company.
3. The issue and sale of the Shares by the Company will not result in a breach or violation of
any Health Care Law or any order known to us and applicable to the Company issued pursuant to a
Health Care Law by a Governmental Authority.
We have not been responsible for the drafting of either the Time of Sale Prospectus or the
Prospectus, but have during the course of the preparation of each of the Time of Sale Prospectus
and the Prospectus reviewed such documents and conferred with the Company with respect to

matters set forth in the Specified Prospectus Sections. We have not verified and are not
passing upon and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of
the statements or information (including but not limited to financial information) contained in
each of the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, except to the extent set forth in Paragraph
1 of this opinion.
We express no opinion herein other than as to the law of the State of Tennessee and the

connection with the Underwriting Agreement, and this opinion may not be delivered to, quoted or
relied upon by any person other than you, or for any other purpose, without our prior written
consent. Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and we render no opinion,

$0.00001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of the Company. This opinion is being
furnished at the request of the Selling Stockholders as contemplated by Section 6(d) of the
Underwriting Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this letter shall have
the respective meanings given those terms in the Underwriting Agreement.
In connection with the furnishing of this opinion, we have examined originals, or copies
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following documents:
(i) the Underwriting Agreement; and
(ii) stock certificates of the Selling Stockholders or the stock ledger of the Company
indicating record ownership of the common stock of the Company.
In addition, we have examined: (i) such limited partnership and limited liability company
records of the Selling Stockholders as we have considered appropriate, including a copy of the
certificates of formation and operating agreements of GapStar, LLC (“GapStar”), GAP Coinvestments
III, LLC (“GAPCO III”) and GAP Coinvestments IV, LLC (“GAPCO IV”) and the certificates of limited
partnership and limited partnership agreements of General Atlantic Partners 83, L.P. (“GA 83”),
General Atlantic Partners 84, L.P. (“GA 84”), GAP-W LLC (“Gap-W”) and GAP Coinvestments

and copies of resolutions of the managing member of GAPCO III, GAPCO IV and GapStar, and the
ultimate general partner of GA 83, GA 84, GAP-W and GAPCO CDA, relating to the sale by such Selling
Stockholders of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement certified by
it; and (ii) such other certificates, agreements and documents as we deemed relevant and necessary
as a basis for the opinions and beliefs expressed below. We have also relied upon oral and written
statements of officers and representatives of the Selling Stockholders as to factual matters, the
factual matters contained in the representations and warranties of the Selling Stockholders made in
the Underwriting Agreement and upon certificates of public officials and the Selling Stockholders.
In respect of matters of fact as to the ownership of the Shares to be sold by the Selling
Stockholders, we have relied solely upon certificates of the Selling Stockholders without any
independent inquiry.
In our examination of the documents referred to above, we have assumed, without independent
investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals who have
executed any of the documents reviewed by us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified,
photostatic or reproduced or conformed copies of valid existing agreements or other documents, the
authenticity of the latter documents and that the statements regarding matters of fact in the
certificates, records, agreements, instruments and documents that we have examined are accurate and
complete.

We have also assumed, without independent investigation that (i) GAPCO Gmbh & Co. KG (“Gmbh”)
has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
under the Underwriting Agreement, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting
Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by Gmbh and does not violate
its organizational documents or the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and (iii) the due
execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement by Gmbh under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization.
Whenever we indicate that our opinion is based upon our knowledge or words of similar import,
our opinion is based solely on the actual knowledge of the attorneys in this firm who are
representing the Selling Stockholders in connection with the Underwriting Agreement or who are
otherwise responsible for representation of the Selling Stockholders and without any independent
verification.
Based on the above, and subject to the stated assumptions, exceptions and qualifications
stated below, we are of the opinion that:
1. Each Delaware Selling Stockholder listed on Schedule B to this letter (each, a
“Delaware Selling Stockholder”) has all necessary partnership or limited liability company power
and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement and
to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the Shares.
2. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized by each Delaware Selling Stockholder
and has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Delaware Selling Stockholder.
Assuming the Underwriting Agreement has been
5
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated
Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co.
UBS Securities LLC

Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co.
UBS Securities LLC
Barclays Capital Inc.
duly authorized, executed and delivered by Gmbh under the laws of Germany, the Underwriting
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Gmbh (to the extent execution and delivery are
governed by the laws of the State of New York).
3. With respect to each Selling Stockholder, the sale of the Shares to be sold by such Selling
Stockholder under the Underwriting Agreement and the compliance by such Selling Stockholder with
all of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement with respect to such Shares will not (a) breach
or result in a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other
agreement or instrument known to us to which such Selling Stockholder is a party or by which such
Selling Stockholder is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Selling Stockholder
is subject, other than any breaches or defaults that could not reasonably be expected to materially
adversely affect such Selling Stockholder’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by
the Underwriting Agreement, (b) violate in the case of a Delaware Selling Stockholder such Delaware
Selling Stockholder’s Entity Documents and (c) violate Applicable Law or any judgment, order or
decree of any court or arbitrator known to us, other than any violation that could not reasonably
be expected to materially adversely affect such Selling Stockholder’s ability to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement. For purposes of this letter, the term
“Applicable Law” means the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “GCL”), the Delaware Revised
Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “LPA”) and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the
“LLCA”), and those laws, rules and regulations of
6
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated

Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co.
UBS Securities LLC

the United States of America and the State of New York, in each case which in our experience
are normally applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement,
except that “Applicable Law” does not include the antifraud provisions of the securities laws of
any applicable jurisdiction or any state securities or Blue Sky laws of the various States.
4. With respect to each Selling Stockholder, to our knowledge, no consent, approval,
authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental
Authority, which has not been obtained, taken or made (other than as required by any state
securities or Blue Sky laws, as to which we express no opinion) is required under any Applicable
Law for the performance by such Selling Stockholder of its obligations under the Underwriting
Agreement in connection with the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder thereunder, except
for the filings (if any) by the Selling Stockholders with the Securities and Exchange Commission
required pursuant to Section 13(d), Section 13(f) or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. For purposes of this letter, the term “Governmental Authorities” means any
executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory body of the State of Delaware, New
York or the United States of America.
5. Each Selling Stockholder is the record owner of the Shares to be sold by such Selling
Stockholder pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
6. Assuming each Underwriter acquires its interest in the Shares it has purchased from the
Selling Stockholders under the Underwriting Agreement in good
7

faith without notice of any adverse claim (within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York in the date of this letter (the “NY-UCC”)) with
respect to the Shares, (i) each Underwriter that has purchased the Shares delivered on the date
hereof to The Depository Trust Company (assuming The Depository Trust Company is a clearing
corporation within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(5) of the NY-UCC) or other securities
intermediary (assuming such other securities intermediary is a securities intermediary within the
meaning of Section 8-102(14) of the NY-UCC) by making payment therefor as provided in the
Underwriting Agreement, and that has had the Shares credited by book entry to the securities
account or accounts (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the NY-UCC, assuming that the
securities intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110(e) of the NY-UCC) for
the securities account or accounts is the State of New York) of such Underwriter maintained by The
Depository Trust Company or such other securities intermediary will have acquired a security
entitlement (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the NY-UCC) to such Shares purchased by
such Underwriter, (ii) The Depositary Trust Company or such other securities intermediary shall be
a “protected purchaser” of the Shares within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the NY-UCC (assuming
that the Depositary Trust Company or such other securities intermediary has no notice of an adverse
claim within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the NY-UCC and that the Depositary Trust Company is a
clearing corporation within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(5) of the NY-UCC or such other
securities intermediary is a securities

on an adverse claim (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(1) and Section 8-502 of the NY-UCC) may
be asserted against such Underwriter with respect to such Shares.
