and release by Eclipsys and the Merger Sub of any rights they may have
under this Agreement to delay the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, to terminate this Agreement, to make an
indemnification claim against the MSI Shareholders or otherwise as a
result of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement being

Sub contained in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 35.3 or the failure by Eclipsys, the Merger Sub or
the Surviving Corp. to perform any covenant or agreement of Eclipsys,
the Merger Sub or the Surviving Corp. contained in this Agreement.
37. Method of Asserting Claims.
37.1. The Indemnified Purchaser or Indemnified Shareholder, as the
case may be (each an "Indemnified Person"), shall give prompt written
notification to the MSI Shareholders or Eclipsys, as the case may be,
of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a
third party claim for which indemnification pursuant to this provision
may be sought; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the
Indemnified Person in
38
39
notifying the MSI Shareholders or Eclipsys, as the case may be,
shall relieve the indemnifying parties of any liability or obligation
under this Agreement except to the extent of any damage or liability
caused by or arising out of such failure. Within 20 days after delivery
of such notification, the MSI Shareholders or Eclipsys, as the case may
be, may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Person, assume control
of the defense of such action, suit or proceeding with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, provided the MSI
Shareholders or Eclipsys, as the case may be, acknowledge in writing to
the Indemnified Person that any damages, fines, costs or other
liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding constitute Damages for
which the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification
pursuant to this provision. If the indemnifying parties do not so
assume control of such defense, then the Indemnified Person shall
control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may
participate at its own expense; provided, that if the indemnifying
parties have not assumed such control and the Indemnified Person
reasonably concludes that the indemnifying parties and the Indemnified
Person have conflicting interests or different defenses available with
respect to such action, suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person shall be considered
Damages for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such
defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such
action, suit or proceeding and the defense and in good faith shall
consider recommendations made by the other party. Neither the
indemnifying parties nor the Indemnified Person shall agree to any
settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without the prior written
consent of the other parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
37.2. In the event that an Indemnified Shareholder does claim a
right to payment pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified
Shareholder shall send written notice of such claim to Eclipsys. Such
notice shall specify the basis for such claim. As promptly as possible
after the Indemnified Shareholder has given such notice, such
Indemnified Shareholder and Eclipsys shall establish the merits and
amount of such claim (by mutual agreement, litigation, arbitration,
mediation or otherwise) and, within five (5) business days of the final
determination of the merits and amount of such claim, Eclipsys shall
deliver to the Indemnified Shareholder an amount of cash in immediately
available funds, or at the sole option of the Indemnified Shareholder,
an amount of Eclipsys Stock, valued as of the Closing Date, in either
case, in an amount sufficient to satisfy and discharge in full such
claim as determined under this Agreement.
37.3. In the event that an Indemnified Purchaser does claim a right
to payment pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Purchaser shall
send written notice of such claim to the MSI Shareholders. Such notice
shall specify the basis for such claim. As promptly as possible after
the Indemnified Purchaser has given such notice, such Indemnified
Purchaser and the MSI Shareholders shall establish the merits and
amount of such claim (by mutual agreement, litigation, arbitration,
mediation or otherwise) and, within five (5) business days of the final
determination of the merits and amount of the claim, the MSI
Shareholders shall deliver to the Indemnified Purchaser an amount of
Eclipsys Stock,
39
40
valued as of the Closing Date, in an amount sufficient to satisfy and
discharge in full such claim as determined under this Agreement.
38. Survival. No claim for indemnification under this Agreement may be
asserted by an Indemnified Purchaser or Indemnified Shareholder after the end of
the claims period (the "Claims Period") which shall be one (1) year following
the Closing Date.
39. Limitations.
39.1. The aggregate liability of MSI Shareholders for Damages under
the indemnification provisions of this Agreement:
1. shall not exceed in the aggregate $6,000,000, and
2. shall be unrecoverable until such aggregate Damages
exceed $600,000.
39.2. Subject to the provisions of Section 39.4 hereof, each MSI
Shareholder's indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several in
accordance with the percentage interest set forth opposite such MSI
Shareholder's name on Exhibit F hereto and shall not exceed the amount
set forth opposite such MSI Shareholder's name on such Exhibit F.
39.3. Subject to the provisions of Section 39.4 hereof, the
aggregate liability of Eclipsys for Damages under the indemnification
provisions of this Agreement:
1. shall not exceed in the aggregate $6,000,000; and
2. shall be unrecoverable until such aggregate Damages
exceed $600,000.
39.4. Except with respect to claims based on fraud, the rights of
the Indemnified Persons under the indemnification provisions of this
Agreement shall be the exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Purchasers
and Indemnified Shareholders with respect to claims resulting from or
relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to
perform any covenant or agreement of the other party contained in this
Agreement. No MSI Shareholder shall have any right of contribution
against MSI Solutions or MSI Services with respect to any breach by MSI
Solutions or MSI Services of any of its representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
40. Registration of Shares. As promptly as practicable following the
expiration of the pooling of interests period required for accounting purposes
(and in any event no later than September 30, 1999), Eclipsys shall file with
the SEC, a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the resale to the public
by MSI Shareholders of the Merger Shares (the "Stockholder Registration
Statement"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Eclipsys shall take such actions as
are
40
41
reasonably necessary to allow it to file the Stockholder Registration Statement
from and after September 1, 1999. Eclipsys shall use its reasonable best efforts
to cause the Stockholder Registration Statement to be declared effective by the
SEC as soon as practicable. Eclipsys shall cause the Stockholder Registration
Statement to remain effective until the date 24 months after the Closing Date
(such date to be extended by the aggregate number of days in which such
registration statement is delayed or suspended pursuant to Section 41.1 below)
or such earlier time as all of the Merger Shares covered by the Stockholder
Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to or are eligible to be sold
under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.
41. Limitations on Registration Rights.
41.1. Eclipsys may, by written notice to MSI Shareholders, (i) delay
the filing or effectiveness of the Stockholder Registration Statement
or (ii) suspend the Stockholder Registration Statement after
effectiveness and require that MSI Shareholders immediately cease sales
of shares pursuant to the Stockholder Registration Statement, in the
event that:
1. Eclipsys is engaged in any activity or transaction or
preparations or negotiations for any activity or transaction
that Eclipsys desires to keep confidential for business
reasons, if the Board of Directors of Eclipsys determines in
good faith, after consultation with legal counsel, that the
public disclosure requirements imposed on Eclipsys under the
Securities Act in connection with the Stockholder Registration
Statement would require disclosure of such activity,
transaction, preparations or negotiations and provides the MSI
Shareholders with a written opinion of legal counsel to that
effect; or
2. Eclipsys is ineligible for use of a Form S-3.
41.2. Eclipsys may utilize subsection 41.1.1 only once during any
twelve (12) month period and any such delay or suspension shall not
exceed 45 calendar days.
41.3. If Eclipsys delays or suspends the Stockholder Registration
Statement or requires MSI Shareholders to cease sales of shares
pursuant to Section 41.1 above, Eclipsys shall, as promptly as
practicable following the termination of the circumstance which
entitled Eclipsys to do so, take such actions as may be necessary to
file or reinstate the effectiveness of the Stockholder Registration
Statement and/or give written notice to all MSI Shareholders
authorizing them to resume sales pursuant to the Stockholder
Registration Statement. If as a result, the prospectus included in the
Stockholder Registration Statement has been amended to comply with the
requirements of the Securities Act, Eclipsys shall enclose such revised
prospectus with the notice to MSI Shareholders given pursuant to this
Section 41.3, and MSI Shareholders shall make no offers or sales of
shares pursuant to the Stockholder Registration Statement other than by
means of such revised prospectus.
41
42
42. Registration Procedures.
42.1. In connection with the filing by Eclipsys of the Stockholder
Registration Statement, Eclipsys shall furnish to each MSI Shareholder
a copy of the prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and an opinion
of counsel and independent auditor's comfort letter, both similar to
such as would be provided in an underwritten offering.
42.2. Eclipsys shall use its reasonable best efforts to register or
qualify the Merger Shares covered by the Stockholder Registration
Statement under the securities laws of such states as MSI Shareholders
shall reasonably request; provided, however, that Eclipsys shall not be
required in connection with this paragraph to qualify as a foreign
corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in any
jurisdiction.
42.3. If Eclipsys has delivered preliminary or final prospectuses to
MSI Shareholders and, after having done so, the prospectus is amended
to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, Eclipsys shall
promptly notify MSI Shareholders and, if requested by Eclipsys, MSI
Shareholders shall immediately cease making offers or sales of shares
under the Stockholder Registration Statement and return to Eclipsys all
such preliminary or final prospectuses. Eclipsys shall promptly provide
MSI Shareholders with revised prospectuses and, following receipt of
the revised prospectuses, MSI Shareholders shall be free to resume
making offers and sales under the Stockholder Registration Statement.
42.4. Eclipsys shall pay the expenses incurred by it in complying
with its obligations under the registration rights provisions of this
Agreement, including all registration and filing fees, exchange listing
fees, fees and expenses of counsel for Eclipsys, and fees and expenses
of accountants for Eclipsys, but excluding:
1. any brokerage fees, selling commissions or
underwriting discounts incurred by MSI Shareholders in
connection with sales under the Stockholder Registration
Statement; and
2. the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by MSI
Shareholders.
43. Requirements of MSI Shareholders. Eclipsys shall not be required to
include any Merger Shares in the Stockholder Registration Statement unless:
43.1. the MSI Shareholder owning such shares furnishes to Eclipsys
in writing such information regarding such MSI Shareholder and the
proposed sale of Merger Shares by such MSI Shareholder as Eclipsys may
reasonably request in writing in connection with the Stockholder
Registration Statement or as shall be required in connection therewith
by the SEC or any state securities law authorities; and
43.2. such MSI Shareholder shall have provided to Eclipsys its
written agreement:
42
43
1. to indemnify Eclipsys and each of its directors and
officers against, and hold Eclipsys and each of its directors
and officers harmless from, any losses, claims, damages,
expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees)
to which Eclipsys or such directors and officers may become
subject by reason of any material statement or omission in the
Stockholder Registration Statement made in reliance upon and
in conformity with a written statement by such MSI Shareholder
furnished pursuant to this Section 43.2; and
2. to report to Eclipsys sales made pursuant to the
Stockholder Registration Statement.
44. Securities Indemnification. Eclipsys agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each MSI Shareholder whose shares are included in the Stockholder
Registration Statement against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or
liabilities to which such MSI Shareholder may become subject by reason of any
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Stockholder Registration
Statement or any omission to state a fact required to be stated or necessary to
make the statements not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, expenses or liabilities arise out of or are based upon information
furnished in writing to Eclipsys by or on behalf of an MSI Shareholder for use
in the Stockholder Registration Statement. Eclipsys shall have the right to
assume the defense and settlement of any claim or suit for which Eclipsys may be
responsible for indemnification under this Section 44.
45. Assignment of Rights. An MSI Shareholder may not assign any of its
registration rights under this Agreement except in connection with the transfer
of some or all of his or her Merger Shares to a child, spouse or other member of
his or her immediate family or a trust for the benefit of any such person,
provided each such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to
Eclipsys to be bound by this Agreement.
46. Piggyback Registration Rights. Eclipsys shall utilize its reasonable
best efforts to add the MSI Shareholders to Eclipsys' existing registration
rights agreements which provide for "piggyback" registration rights. If Eclipsys
is unable to obtain the consents necessary to add the MSI Shareholders to the
existing registration rights agreements, then Eclipsys shall enter into separate
piggyback agreements with the MSI Shareholders on terms that are substantially
similar to, but not superior to, those in the existing registration rights
agreements.

invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is

any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.
58. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of
the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties:
58.1. submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court
sitting in the State of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement,

relating to this
47
48
Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so
brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be
required of any other Party. Any Party may make service on another
Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be
served at the address and in the manner provided in this Agreement for
the giving of notices. Nothing in this Section 58, however, shall
affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other
manner permitted by law.
59. Construction; Definitions. The language used in this Agreement shall be
deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent,
and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party. The
section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only
and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Terms with initial capitalization are defined contextually or specifically for
purposes of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any reference to any
federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer
to all related rules and regulations, unless the context requires otherwise.
60. Knowledge. "To the knowledge of MSI" or any similar phrase contained in
this Agreement shall mean the actual knowledge, after due and appropriate
inquiry, of the MSI Executives. For purposes hereof, the "MSI Executives" shall
consist of Bean, Cote, and Feldman. "To the knowledge of Eclipsys" or any
similar phrase contained in this Agreement shall mean the actual knowledge,
after due and appropriate inquiry, of the Eclipsys Executives. For purposes
hereof, the "Eclipsys Executives" shall consist of Harvey J. Wilson, Robert J.
Colletti, Jack J. Risenhoover and Robert J. Vanaria.
61. Pooling of Interests. If any provision of this Agreement (including the
exhibits, disclosure letters and other referenced documents) or the application
of any such provision to any person or circumstance shall preclude the use of
"pooling of interests" accounting treatment in connection with the Mergers, then
such provision shall be of no force and effect to the extent, and solely to the
extent, necessary to preserve such accounting treatment for each of the Mergers,
and in that event, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected, and in
lieu of such provision there shall be added as part of this Agreement a
provision as similar in terms as may be possible for each of the Mergers to be
treated as a pooling of interests for accounting purposes.

The Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Eclipsys ("Merger Sub"),

In connection with the receipt of the Shares by such shareholder in the

undersigned will not make any offer to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any of the Shares in any transaction, public or private, except in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), as such Act may be hereafter from time to time amended. Moreover, the
undersigned will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares,
nor in any other way reduce the undersigned's risk with respect to the Shares,
as contemplated by APB Opinion No. 16, until such time as financial results
covering at least thirty (30) days of combined operations of Eclipsys and MSI
Solutions and MSI Services have been published within the meaning of Section
201.01 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Codification of Financial
Reporting Policies; provided, however, that the undersigned shall be permitted
to make de minimis sales prior to the publication of such combined financial
results to the extent permitted by applicable provisions of APB Opinion No. 16
and SEC Accounting Series Releases 130 and 135 of the Act.

The undersigned further agrees that Eclipsys shall not be required to
transfer any of the Shares unless (i) the transfer results from a sale of such
Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, or (ii) it
shall have received an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel should be
reasonably satisfactory to Eclipsys, to the effect that such transfer would not
violate, or make the issuance of the Shares to the undersigned a violation of,
the provisions of the Act. The certificate(s) representing the Shares will bear
a legend to the foregoing effects.
The undersigned represents that the undersigned does not currently have
any arrangement, agreement, or understanding regarding the sale of the Shares.
