The obligations of Allscripts, Misys UK Holdings and Misys US Holdings under this Section 2.1 are subject to, and conditioned on, compliance with applicable Law.

Section 2.2 Repurchase Procedure.

Each Repurchase Calculation Chart shall be delivered to Misys

(b) By 9:30 A.M. Eastern Time on the Misys Repurchase Date, Misys shall deliver to Allscripts (i) wire transfer instructions for the Misys Repurchased Share Price and (ii) the stock certificates, duly endorsed or accompanied by a duly endorsed stock power, representing such Misys Repurchased Shares, if such shares are in physical form or, if in book entry, appropriate transfer instructions to the transfer agent. Promptly after receipt of such wire transfer instructions and stock certificates, Allscripts shall transfer the Misys Repurchased Shares Price in immediately available funds to the account designated by Misys. It is the intent of the parties that all actions contemplated by this Section 2.2(b) are to be completed by the end of the Misys Repurchase Date.

(c) The Misys Repurchased Shares Price to be determined on any Misys Repurchase Date shall be an amount equal to (i) the number of Misys Repurchased Shares on such date multiplied by (ii) the volume average weighted purchase price paid by Allscripts for all Other Repurchased Shares purchased by Allscripts during the Repurchase Period immediately prior to the Misys Repurchase Date without deduction for any commissions, fees or other costs and expenses related to such purchases.

(d) Allscripts shall direct its transfer agent to either (a) issue new stock certificates to Misys UK Holdings and Misys US Holdings representing the number of shares of Allscripts common stock owned by Misys UK Holdings and Misys US Holdings after such Misys Repurchase Date, such certificates to contain the same restrictive legends as in effect on the date hereof, or (b) if Misys UK Holdings or Misys US Holdings hold their shares in book entry form, to update the share register to reflect the number of shares of Allscripts common stock owned by Misys UK Holdings or Misys US Holdings after such Misys Repurchase Date.

Section 2.3 Information and Correction.

(a) Allscripts shall provide any information related to the Repurchase Calculation Chart and the Misys Repurchased Shares Price as Misys, Misys UK Holdings or Misys US Holdings may reasonably request.


(b) If either Misys or its Subsidiaries or Allscripts determines that an error or miscalculation has been made with respect to either the determination of the Misys Repurchased Shares or the Misys Repurchased Shares Price, notwithstanding any provisions in the Relationship Agreement, the parties shall promptly take such action as is necessary to put Misys and its Subsidiaries in the same position they would have been in had there been no such error or miscalculation.

Section 2.4 Restriction on Repurchases. Allscripts shall not repurchase any shares of Allscripts Common Stock from Other Holders on a Misys Repurchase Date that would, after taking into account the repurchase of the Misys Repurchased Shares on such date, result in a violation of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act or any other Laws or Nasdaq Rules.

Section 2.5 Cancellation of Shares. All shares of Allscripts Common Stock repurchased pursuant to any Market Purchase Program or hereto shall be cancelled by Allscripts immediately after such repurchase.

Section 2.6 Tax.

(a) Any Misys Repurchased Shares Price shall be paid net of all taxes required by applicable Law to be deducted or withheld from such payment.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the close of any taxable year of Allscripts in which a Misys Repurchase Date falls, Allscripts will, at its own expense, make a good faith determination of the amount of its current earnings and profits (“Current E&P”) and accumulated earnings and profits (“Accumulated E&P”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to such year and provide in writing to each of Misys, Misys UK Holdings and Misys US Holdings Allscripts’ good faith determination of the Current E&P and Accumulated E&P for such year and its good faith determination of the amount thereof allocable to payments hereunder of Misys Repurchased Shares Price for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided, that Allscripts shall not be liable for, or indemnify Misys, Misys UK Holdings or Misys US Holdings as a result of the failure of such determination to be correct.

(c) At the request of Misys or Misys UK Holdings, Allscripts will elect, to the extent permissible under applicable law (as determined in reasonable good faith by Allscripts), to determine the amount of U.S. federal withholding tax on payments hereunder of Misys Repurchased Shares Price based on a reasonable estimate, in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulation §1.1441-3(c)(2)(i)(C), of Allscripts’ Current E&P and Accumulated E&P for the applicable taxable year and the amount thereof allocable to the payments hereunder of Misys Repurchased Shares Price for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the event Allscripts is liable for any tax that is U.S. federal withholding tax that is under-withheld with respect to any such payments, Misys and Misys US Holdings jointly and severally shall indemnify Allscripts for any loss or expense suffered by it as a result of such under-withholding.


(d) If requested by Misys, Misys UK Holdings or Misys US Holdings, Allscripts will cooperate in good faith with any such Person, at the requesting Person’s expense, in connection with seeking a refund of any tax withheld from payments hereunder to, or otherwise paid by, any such Person or any dealings with any tax authority in connection with the Misys Repurchased Shares Price paid to any such Person.
