FORM OF RECEIPTS; DEPOSIT OF PREFERRED STOCK; EXECUTION AND

Section 2.01. Form and Transferability of Receipts. Receipts shall
be engraved or printed or lithographed on steel-engraved borders and shall be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Deposit
Agreement, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as
hereinafter provided. Pending the preparation of definitive Receipts, the
Depositary, upon the written order of the Company or any holder of Preferred
Stock, as the case may be, delivered in compliance with Section 2.02, shall
execute and deliver temporary Receipts which are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise substantially of the tenor of the
definitive Receipts in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the persons
executing such Receipts may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Receipts. If temporary Receipts are issued, the Company and the Depositary will
cause definitive Receipts to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Receipts, the temporary Receipts shall be exchangeable
for definitive Receipts upon surrender of the temporary Receipts at the
Corporate Trust Office, without charge to the holder. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Receipts, the Depositary shall execute
and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Receipts representing the same
number of Depositary Shares as represented by the surrendered temporary Receipt
or Receipts. Such exchange shall be made at the Company's expense and without
any charge to holders thereof. Until so exchanged, the temporary Receipts shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Deposit Agreement
and with respect to the Preferred Stock as definitive Receipts.
Receipts shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual signature of
a duly authorized officer of the Depositary, provided that such signature may be
a facsimile if a Registrar for the Receipts (other than the Depositary) shall
have been appointed and such Receipts are countersigned by the manual signature
of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar. No Receipt shall be entitled to
any benefits under this Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any
purposes unless it shall have been executed as provided in the preceding
sentence. The Depositary shall record on its books each Receipt so signed and
delivered as hereinafter provided.
Except as the Depositary may otherwise determine, Receipts shall be in
denominations of any number of whole Depositary Shares. All Receipts shall be
dated the date of their execution. Receipts may be endorsed with or have
incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement as may be required to
comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules
and regulations of any securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation
system, upon which the Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts
may be listed or traded or to conform with any
-3-
7
usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or
restrictions to which any particular Receipt is subject.
Title to a Receipt (and to the Depositary Shares evidenced thereby),
when properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of
transfer, shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case
of a negotiable instrument; provided, however, that until a Receipt shall be
transferred on the books of the Depositary as provided in Section 2.04, the
Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the record
holder thereof at such time as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of
determining the person entitled to distributions of dividends or other
distributions or to any notice provided for in this Deposit Agreement and for
all other purposes.
Section 2.02. Deposit of Preferred Stock; Execution and Delivery of
Receipts in Respect Thereof. On the date on which the Preferred Stock is
initially issued by the Company, the Depositary, upon receipt of written
instructions from the Company and a certificate or certificates for the
Preferred Stock to be deposited under the Deposit Agreement in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 2.02, shall execute and deliver a Receipt or
Receipts for the number of Depositary Shares representing such deposited
Preferred Stock to the person or persons stated in such instructions.
Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the
Company or any holder of Preferred Stock may deposit such Preferred Stock under
this Deposit Agreement by delivery to the Depositary of a certificate or
certificates for the Preferred Stock to be deposited properly endorsed or
accompanied, if required by law, by a duly executed instrument of transfer or
endorsement, in form satisfactory to the Depositary, together with (i) all such
certifications as may be required by the Depositary in accordance with the
provisions of this Deposit Agreement and (ii) a written order directing the
Depositary to execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person
or persons stated in such order a Receipt or Receipts for the aggregate number
of Depositary Shares representing such deposited Preferred Stock.
If required by the Depositary, Preferred Stock presented for deposit at
any time, whether or not the register of stockholders of the Company is closed,
shall also be accompanied by an agreement or assignment, or other instrument
satisfactory to the Depositary, which will provide for the prompt transfer to
the Depositary or its nominee of any dividend or right to subscribe for
additional Preferred Stock or to receive other property which any person in
whose name the Preferred Stock is or has been recorded may thereafter receive
upon or in respect of such deposited Preferred Stock, and to which the
Depositary shall be entitled, or in lieu thereof such agreement of indemnity or
other agreement as shall be satisfactory to the Depositary.
Upon each delivery to the Depositary of a certificate or certificates
for Preferred Stock to be deposited hereunder, together with the other documents
above specified, the Depositary shall, as soon as transfer and registration can
be accomplished, present such certificate or certificates to the Company or the
transfer agent, as the Company shall instruct the Depositary, for transfer and
registration of the Preferred Stock being deposited in the name of the
Depositary or its nominee.
The certificates representing the Preferred Stock so delivered to the
Depositary shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, and
shall be held by the Depositary upon
-4-
8
and subject to the terms of this Deposit Agreement as custodian for those
persons who are the registered holders of Receipts from time to time.
Deposited Preferred Stock shall be held by the Depositary at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary, or at such other place or places as
the Depositary shall determine.
Upon receipt by the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for
Preferred Stock deposited in accordance with the provisions of this Section
2.02, together with the other documents required as above specified, the
Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall
execute and deliver to, or upon the order of the person or persons named in the
written order referred to in the first paragraph of this Section 2.02, a Receipt
or Receipts evidencing the aggregate number of Depositary Shares represented by
such Preferred Stock, in the denominations and registered in such name or names
as requested by such person or persons. The Depositary shall execute and deliver
such Receipts at its Corporate Trust Office or at such other offices as it may
designate. However, in each case, such delivery will be made only upon payment
to the Depositary of the fee of the Depositary for the execution and delivery of
such Receipt or Receipts, as provided in Section 5.08, and of all taxes and
governmental charges and fees payable in connection with such deposit and the
transfer of the deposited Preferred Stock.
The Depositary shall not issue any Receipt other than in accordance
with the express provisions of this Section 2.02 and, without limiting the
foregoing, shall not issue any Receipt prior to receiving the certificate or
certificates of Preferred Stock (together with properly executed instruments of
transfer or endorsement) to be represented by the Receipt.
The Company shall deliver to the Depositary from time to time such
quantities of Receipts as the Depositary may request so as to enable the
Depositary to perform its obligations under this Deposit Agreement.
Section 2.03. Redemption of Preferred Stock. Whenever the Company
shall be required or shall elect, under its Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, and the Certificate, to redeem shares of Preferred Stock, it shall give
the Depositary (i) not less than 45 nor more than 60 days' notice of the
Redemption Date (as such term is defined in the Certificate), (ii) the
redemption price per share of Preferred Stock and the method of calculation
thereof; (iii) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be
surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (iv) the then current
Conversion Price (as such term is defined in the certificate) and the method of
converting the shares prior to the redemption date; and (v) that dividends on
such shares shall cease to accumulate on such Redemption Date. On the Redemption
Date, provided that the Company shall have paid or caused to be paid in full to
the Depositary the redemption price of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed, plus
an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the Redemption
Date prior to such Redemption Date and in accordance with the provisions of the
Certificate, the Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares
representing such Preferred Stock on the Redemption Date. The redemption price
per Depositary Share will be equal to one-tenth (1/10th) of the per share amount
payable with respect to the Preferred Stock.
-5-
9
The Depositary shall mail notice of such redemption and the
simultaneous redemption of the number of Depositary Shares representing the
Preferred Stock to be redeemed, first class mail postage prepaid, not less than
30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each holder of record
of Receipts for Depositary Shares to be redeemed, at the addresses of such
holders as the same appear on the records of the Depositary; but neither failure
to mail any such notice to one or more such holders nor any defect in any notice
shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption as to other
holders. Each such notice shall state (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the
redemption price per Depositary Shares and the method of calculation thereof;
(iii) the place or places where Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares are to be
presented and surrendered for payment of the redemption price per Depositary
Share; (iv) the then current Conversion Price and the method of converting the
shares prior to Redemption Date; and (v) that dividends in respect of the
Depositary Shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.
If notice of redemption shall have been given as hereinbefore provided,
and the Company shall not have failed in the payment of the redemption price for
the underlying Preferred Stock to be redeemed, then each holder of Receipts
evidencing Depositary Shares called for redemption shall be entitled to all
preferences and relative and other rights accorded by this Deposit Agreement
until and including the day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, and
thereafter all such rights shall cease and terminate, except the right of the
holders thereof to receive, upon surrender of their Receipts, the amounts
payable upon redemption of the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipts.
The deposit with the Depositary, in trust for the benefit of the
holders of the Depositary Shares, of monies or securities provided for the
redemption of Preferred Stock shall be irrevocable except that any balance of
monies so deposited by the Company and unclaimed by the holders of the
Depositary Shares entitled thereto at the expiration of two years from the
Redemption Date shall be repaid to the Company, and after any such repayment,
the holders of the Depositary Shares entitled to the funds so repaid to the
Company shall look only to the Company for payment, without interest.
From and after the Redemption Date (i) all dividends on the shares of
Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accrue from and after
such date, (ii) the Depositary Shares being redeemed from such proceeds shall be
deemed no longer to be outstanding, (iii) all rights of the holders of Receipts
evidencing such Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the redemption
price) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate, and
(iv) upon surrender in accordance with such redemption notice of the Receipts
evidencing any such Depositary Shares called for redemption (properly endorsed
or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary or applicable law shall so require),
such Depositary Shares shall be redeemed by the Depositary at a redemption price
per Depositary Share equal to one-tenth (1/10th) of the per share amounts
payable with respect to the Preferred Stock pursuant to the Certificate, plus
all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares,
including all amounts paid by the Company in respect of dividends which on the
Redemption Date have accumulated on the shares of Preferred Stock to be so
redeemed and have not theretofore been paid.
The Depositary shall have no liability to the holders of Depositary
Shares for failure timely to pay the redemption price for Depositary Shares to
be redeemed if the Company shall
-6-
10
have failed to deposit with the Depositary the redemption price for the
Preferred Stock underlying such Depositary Shares prior to the Redemption Date.
Section 2.04. Transfer of Receipts. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall make transfers on its
books from time to time of Receipts upon any surrender thereof by the holder in
person or by duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a
properly executed instrument of transfer, and duly stamped as may be required by
law. Thereupon, the Depositary shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts and
deliver the same to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto
representing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares as those represented
by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered.
Section 2.05. Combinations and Split-ups of Receipts. Upon
surrender of a Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary's Corporate Trust Office or
at such other offices as it may designate for the purpose of effecting a
split-up or combination of such Receipt or Receipts, and subject to the terms
and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall execute and
deliver a new Receipt or Receipts in authorized denominations for the number of
Depositary Shares requested, representing the same aggregate number of
Depositary Shares represented by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered.
Section 2.06. Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Preferred
Stock. Upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary's Corporate
Trust Office or at such other offices as it may designate for the purpose of
withdrawal of the Preferred Stock represented thereby, accompanied by a notice
of withdrawal, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and
subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the holder of
such Receipt or Receipts shall be entitled to delivery, to such holder or upon
such holder's order, of such number of whole shares of the Preferred Stock and
any other property at the time represented by all such Receipts as such holder
may designate. Upon such surrender, the Depositary shall deliver to such holder
one or more certificates representing the number of whole shares of Preferred
Stock which the holder wishes to withdraw and one or more Receipts for the
number of Depositary Shares representing the number of whole shares of Preferred
Stock, if any, which such holder does not wish to withdraw. Delivery of such
Preferred Stock and other property may be made by the delivery of certificates
and other proper documents of title, which, if required by law, shall be
properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer. Such
delivery shall be made, as hereinafter provided, without unreasonable delay.
A Receipt surrendered for such purposes may be required by the
Depositary to be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly
executed instrument of transfer in blank, and the holder thereof shall execute
and deliver to the Depositary a written order directing the Depositary to cause
the Preferred Stock being withdrawn to be delivered to or upon the written order
of a person or persons designated in such order. Thereupon, the Depositary shall
deliver at its Corporate Trust Office, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Deposit Agreement, to or upon the written order of the person or persons
designated in the order delivered to the Depositary as above provided, the
Preferred Stock and other property represented by such Receipt.
If the Receipt or Receipts delivered by the holder thereof evidence a
number of Depositary Shares (and corresponding Preferred Stock) in excess of the
number of Depositary
-7-
11
Shares representing the number of whole shares of Preferred Stock to be
withdrawn by such holder, the Depositary shall deliver to such holder
simultaneously a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing such excess number of
Depositary Shares.
At the request, risk and expense of any holder so surrendering a
Receipt, and for the account of such holder, the Depositary shall forward the
certificate or certificates and other proper documents of title for the amount
of Preferred Stock and any other property represented by such Receipt for
delivery at such place as may be designated by the holder.
Section 2.07. Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer,
Surrender and Exchange of Receipts. As a condition precedent to the execution
and delivery, transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of any
Receipt, the Depositary, or any of the Depositary's Agents, may require payment
of a sum sufficient for reimbursement of any tax or other governmental charge
with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge with respect to Preferred
Stock being deposited or withdrawn), may require proof satisfactory to it as to
the identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require compliance
with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary may establish consistent with
the provisions of this Deposit Agreement.
The deposit of Preferred Stock may be refused, or the delivery of
Receipts against Preferred Stock may be suspended or the transfer of Receipts
may be refused, or the transfer, surrender or exchange of outstanding Receipts
may be suspended during any period when the register of stockholders of the
Company is closed, or if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the
Depositary, any of the Depositary's Agents or the Company at any time or from
time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or
governmental body or commission, or under any provision of this Deposit
Agreement or for any other reason. Without limitation of the foregoing, the
Depositary shall not knowingly accept for deposit under this Deposit Agreement
any Preferred Stock which in order to be so deposited is required to be
registered under the Securities Act, unless a registration statement under the
Securities Act is in effect as to such Preferred Stock.
Section 2.08. Lost Receipts, etc. In case any Receipt shall be
mutilated or be destroyed or lost or stolen, the Depositary in its discretion
may execute and deliver a Receipt of like form and tenor in exchange and
substitution for such mutilated Receipt, or in lieu of and in substitution for
such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, upon the provision of the holder thereof
to the Depositary of (i) evidence satisfactory to the Depositary of such
destruction or loss or theft of such Receipt and the authenticity thereof; (ii)
evidence of the holder's ownership of the Receipt; and (iii) reasonable
indemnification satisfactory to the Depositary.
Section 2.09. Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts.
All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary or any Depositary's Agent shall be
cancelled by the Depositary. The Depositary is authorized to destroy such
Receipts so cancelled.
Section 2.10. Conversion Rights. Receipts may be surrendered by
delivery of a Conversion Notice, in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C, to the Depositary to instruct the Company to cause the conversion of
any specified number of whole or fractional shares of Preferred Stock
represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipts into
-8-
12
the number of whole shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing the aggregate
liquidation preference (then in effect) of such Depositary Shares by the
Conversion Price (then in effect), as such Conversion Price may be adjusted by
the Company from time to time as provided in the Certificate. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement and the Certificate, a holder of
a Receipt or Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares representing whole or
fractional shares of Preferred Stock may surrender such Receipt or Receipts to
the Depositary at the Depositary's Corporate Trust Office or to such office or
to such Depositary's Agents as the Depositary may designate for such purpose,
together with (i) a Conversion Notice, and (ii) any payment in respect of
dividends required by this Section 2.10, thereby directing the Depositary to
instruct the Company to cause the conversion of the number of shares or
fractions thereof of underlying Preferred Stock specified in such Conversion
Notice into whole shares of Common Stock. In the event that a holder delivers to
the Depositary for conversion a Receipt or Receipts which in the aggregate are
convertible into less than one whole share of Common Stock or any number of
whole shares of Common Stock plus an excess constituting less than one whole
share of Common Stock, the holder shall receive payment in lieu of such
fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable in accordance with the last
paragraph of this Section 2.10. If more than one Receipt shall be delivered for
conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of whole shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts so delivered.
The conversion date shall be deemed to have occurred on such date as the holder
surrenders such Receipts to be converted to the Depositary.
Upon receipt by the Depositary of a Receipt or Receipts, together with
a Conversion Notice, duly completed and executed, directing the Depositary to
instruct the Company to cause the conversion of a specified number of shares or
fractions thereof of Preferred Stock, the Depositary shall, on the date of
receipt of such Conversion Notice, instruct the Company (i) to cause the
conversion of the Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced
by the Receipt or Receipts so surrendered for conversion as specified in the
Conversion Notice to the Depositary and (ii) to cause the delivery to the holder
or holders of such Receipts of a certificate or certificates evidencing the
number of shares of Common Stock (or any cash, securities or other property
deliverable in lieu of such Common Stock), and the amount of money, if any, to
be delivered to the holders of Receipts surrendered for conversion in payment of
any fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable. The Company shall, as
promptly as practicable after receipt of such instructions from the Depositary,
cause the delivery to such holder or holders of (i) a certificate or
certificates evidencing the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which
the Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such
Receipt or Receipts has been converted, and (ii) any money or other property to
which the holder or holders are entitled. The person or persons in whose name or
names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be
issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or
holders of record of the shares represented thereby at the close of business on
the date such Receipt or Receipts shall have been surrendered to and a
Conversion Notice received by the Depositary, unless the stock transfer books of
the Company shall be closed on that date, in which event such person or persons
shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record on the next
succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open.

Upon such conversion, the Depositary (i) shall deliver to the holder a
Receipt evidencing the number of Depositary Shares, if any, which such holder
has elected not to convert in excess of the number of Depositary Shares
representing Preferred Stock which has been so converted, (ii) shall cancel the
Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts surrendered for conversion and (iii)
shall deliver for cancellation to the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock the
shares of Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by the
Receipts so surrendered and so converted.
If any Preferred Stock shall be called by the Company for redemption or
exchange, such Preferred Stock may be converted into Common Stock as provided in
this Deposit Agreement until and including, but not after, the close of business
on the Redemption Date or the Exchange Date (unless the Company shall default in
making payment of the amount payable upon such redemption or exchange) or, if
the Company shall so elect and state in the notice of redemption the date on
which the Company irrevocably deposits with the designated bank or trust company
as paying agent, moneys sufficient to pay, on the Redemption Date, the
Redemption Price. Upon receipt by the Depositary of a Receipt or Receipts
evidencing Depositary Shares representing any Preferred Stock called for
redemption or exchange, together with a properly completed and executed Notice
of Conversion, the shares of Preferred Stock held by the Depositary represented
by such Depositary Shares for which conversion is requested shall be deemed to
have been received by the Company for conversion.
Upon any conversion of the Preferred Stock represented by the
Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts, no allowance, adjustment
or payment shall be made with respect to accrued dividends upon such Preferred
Stock except that if any holder of a Receipt surrenders such Receipt with
instructions to the Depositary for conversion of the underlying Preferred Stock
evidenced thereby during the period between the opening of business on any
dividend record date and the close of business on the corresponding dividend
payment date (except shares called for redemption or exchange on a Redemption
Date or Date during such period), such Receipt must be accompanied by a payment
equal to the dividend thereon, if any, which the holder of record of such
Receipt is entitled to receive on such dividend payment date in respect of the
underlying Preferred Stock to be converted.
Upon the conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock for which a Notice
of Conversion has been received by the Depositary, all dividends in respect of
such Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue, such Preferred Stock and the
Depositary Shares representing such Preferred Stock shall be deemed no longer
outstanding, all rights of the holder of the Receipt with respect to such
Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the Common Stock, any cash
payable with respect to any fractional shares of Common Stock as provided
herein, any cash payable on account of accrued dividends in respect of the
Preferred Stock so converted, any other cash securities or other property to
which the holder is entitled and any Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares
representing Preferred Stock not so converted) shall terminate, and the Receipt
evidencing such Depositary Shares shall be cancelled in accordance with Section
2.09.
No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion
of Preferred Stock underlying the Depositary Shares. If, except for the
provisions of this Section 2.10 and the Certificate, any holder of Receipts
surrendered with instructions to the Depositary for conversion of the underlying
Preferred Stock would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock upon
-10-
14
such conversion, the Company shall cause to be delivered to such holder an
amount in cash for such fractional share determined in accordance with the
Certificate.
Section 2.11. Optional Exchange of Preferred Stock for
PracticeWorks Preferred Stock. Whenever the Company shall elect to exchange all
of the shares of Preferred Stock for PracticeWorks Preferred Stock, it shall
give the Depositary not less than 10 days' prior written notice of the date of
such proposed exchange of Preferred Stock. On the date of such exchange,
provided that PracticeWorks shall then have issued and deposited with the
Depositary the PracticeWorks Preferred Stock for the Preferred Stock to be
exchanged, the Depositary shall exchange the Depositary Shares representing the
Preferred Stock in exchange for the PracticeWorks Preferred Stock issued in such
exchange. The Depositary shall mail notice of such exchange and the proposed
simultaneous exchange of the Depositary Shares representing the Preferred Stock
to be exchanged, first class postage prepaid, not less than 10 and not more than
60 days prior to the date fixed for exchange for such Preferred Stock and
Depositary Shares (the "Exchange Date"), to the record holders on the record
date for such exchange (determined pursuant to Section 4.04) of the Receipts
evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so exchanged, at the addresses of such
holders as the same appear on the records of the Depositary; but neither failure
to mail any such notice to one or more such holders nor any defect in any notice
shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for exchange as to other
holders. PracticeWorks shall provide the Depositary with such notice and each
such notice shall state the record date for the purposes of such exchange, the
Exchange Date, the place or places where Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares
are to be surrendered for exchange, that dividends in respect of the Preferred
Stock represented by the Depositary Shares to be exchanged will cease to accrue
at the close of business on such Exchange Date, and that the conversion rights
in respect thereof will terminate at the close of business on the last business
day preceding such Exchange Date.
Notice having been mailed by the Depositary as aforesaid, from and
after the Exchange Date (unless default shall be made by PracticeWorks in
issuing the PracticeWorks Preferred Stock in exchange for, or in making the
final dividend payment on, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock on the
Exchange Date), all dividends in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock so
called for exchange shall cease to accrue, the conversion rights in respect
thereof will terminate, the Depositary Shares being exchanged shall be deemed no
longer to be outstanding, all rights of the holders of Receipts evidencing such
Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the Debentures to be exchanged
therefor) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate
and, upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the Receipts evidencing
any such Depositary Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the
Depositary or applicable law shall so require), such Depositary Shares shall be
accepted in exchange for such PracticeWorks Preferred Stock at an exchange rate
per Depositary Share equal to one-tenth (1/10th) of the exchange rate per share
in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock plus all money and other property,
if any, represented by each such Depositary Share, including all amounts paid by
the Company in respect of dividends which on the Exchange Date have accrued on
the shares of Preferred Stock to be so exchanged and have not theretofore been
paid. The foregoing shall further be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Certificate.

ARTICLE III
CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF HOLDERS OF RECEIPTS
Section 3.01. Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information.
Any person presenting Preferred Stock for deposit or any holder of a Receipt may
be required from time to time to file such proof of residence, or other matters
or other information, to execute such certificates and to make such
representations and warranties as the Depositary may reasonably deem necessary
or proper. The Depositary or the Company may withhold or delay the delivery,
transfer, redemption or exchange of any Receipt, the withdrawal of the Preferred
Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by any Receipt or the
distribution of any dividend or other distribution or the sale of any rights or
of the proceeds thereof until such proof or other information is filed or such
certificates are executed or such representations and warranties are made.
Section 3.02. Payment of Taxes or Other Governmental Charges. If
any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable by or on behalf of the
Depositary with respect to any Receipt or Depositary Share, or any Preferred
Stock (or any fractional interest therein) represented by any Depositary Share,
such tax (including transfer taxes, if any) or governmental charge shall be
payable by the holder of such Receipt or of the Receipt evidencing such
Depositary Share, except as provided in Section 5.08. Transfer of such Receipt
or any withdrawal of such Preferred Stock may be refused until such payment is
made, and any dividends or other distributions may be withheld, or any part or
all of the Preferred Stock represented by such Receipt and not theretofore sold
may be sold for the account of the holder thereof (after attempting by
reasonable means to notify such holder prior to such sale), and such dividends
or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale may be applied to
payment of any such tax or other governmental charge, the holder of such Receipt
remaining liable for any deficiency.
ARTICLE IV
THE DEPOSITED SECURITIES; NOTICES
Section 4.01. Cash Distributions. Pursuant to and subject to the
provisions of the Certificate, whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash
dividend or other cash distribution from the Company on the Preferred Stock,
which such dividend or distribution the Depositary shall hold in trust for the
benefit of the holders of Receipts, the Depositary shall distribute to each
record holder of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 the
amount of such dividend or distribution as is, as nearly as possible, in
proportion to the number of outstanding Depositary Shares held by such holder;
provided, however, that in case the Company and/or the Depositary shall be
required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash
distribution in respect of the Preferred Stock an amount on account of taxes,
the amount made available for distribution or distributed on the Receipts
evidencing Depositary Shares issued in respect of such Preferred Stock shall be
reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall distribute or make available for
distribution, as the case may be, only such amount, however, as can be
distributed without attributing to any holder of Receipts a fraction of one cent
and any balance not so distributable shall be held by the Depositary (without
liability for interest
-12-
16
thereon) and shall be added to and treated as part of the next sum received by
the Depositary for distribution to record holders of Receipts then outstanding.
The Depositary shall have no liability to the holders of Depositary
Shares for failure to distribute timely such cash dividend or cash distribution
to the holders of Depositary Shares entitled thereto if the Company shall have
failed to deposit such cash dividend or cash distribution with the Depositary
prior to the applicable payment date for the dividend or distribution.
Section 4.02. Distributions Other Than Cash. Pursuant to and
subject to the provisions of the Certificate, whenever the Depositary shall
receive any distribution other than cash upon the Preferred Stock, which
distribution the Depositary shall hold in trust for the benefit of the holders
of Receipts, the Depositary shall distribute to each record holder of Receipts
on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 such amount of the securities
or other property received by it as is in proportion to the number of
outstanding Depositary Shares held by such holder, in any manner that the
Depositary may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such
distribution. If in the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be
made proportionately among the record holders of Receipts entitled thereto, or
if for any other reason (including any requirement that the Company or the
Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes) the Depositary deems such
distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, with the prior approval in
writing of the Company, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable
for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the sale (at public or
private sale) of the securities or other property thus received, or any part
thereof, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The
net proceeds of any such sale shall be distributed or made available for
distribution, as the case may be, by the Depositary to the holders of Receipts
entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution received in cash. The Company
shall not make any distribution of such securities or other property to the
Depositary and the Depositary shall not make any distribution of such securities
or other property to the holders of Receipts unless the Company shall have
provided the Depositary an opinion of counsel stating that such securities or
property have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be
registered in connection with such distributions.
The Depositary shall have no liability to the holders of Depositary
Shares for failure to distribute timely such distribution to the holders of
Depositary Shares entitled thereto if the Company shall have failed to deliver
such distribution to the Depositary prior to the applicable payment date for the
distribution.
Section 4.03. Subscription Rights, Preferences or Privileges. If
the Company shall offer or cause to be offered to the holders of the Preferred
Stock in whose names such securities are recorded on the books of the Company
any rights, preferences or privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any
securities or any rights, preferences or privileges of any other nature, such
rights, preferences or privileges shall be made available by the Depositary to
the holders of Receipts in such manner as the Depositary may determine
(including the issue to the record holders of Receipts entitled thereto of
warrants representing such rights, preferences or privileges or by such other
method as may be approved by the Depositary in its discretion); provided,
however,
-13-
17
that if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or
privileges, the Depositary determines that it is not lawful or not feasible to
make such rights, preferences or privileges available to holders of Receipts by
the issue of warrants or otherwise, or if and to the extent so instructed by
holders of Receipts who do not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or
privileges, the Depositary may, if applicable laws permit transfer, sell such
rights, preferences or privileges at public or private sale, at such place or
places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such
sale shall be distributed by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts
entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution received in cash.
If the Company shall determine that registration under the Securities
Act of the securities to which any rights, preferences or privileges relate is
required in order for holders of Receipts to be offered or sold the securities
to which such rights, preferences or privileges relate, the Company agrees with
the Depositary that it will file promptly a registration statement pursuant to
the Securities Act with respect to such rights, preferences or privileges and
securities and use its best efforts and take all steps available to it to cause
such registration statement to become effective within a reasonable period of
time before such rights, preferences or privileges shall expire. In no event
shall the Depositary make available to the holders of Receipts any right,
preference or privilege to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless
and until any such required registration statement is in effect, or the
Depositary receives an opinion from counsel to the Company that the offering and
sale of such securities to such holders are exempt from registration under the
Securities Act.
If the Company shall determine that any other action under the laws of
any jurisdiction or any governmental or administrative authorization, consent or
permit is required in order for such rights, preferences or privileges to be
made available to holders of Receipts, the Company agrees with the Depositary
that the Company will use its best efforts to take such action or obtain such
authorization, consent or permit sufficiently in advance of the expiration of
the rights, preferences or privileges to enable holders of Receipts to exercise
such rights, preferences or privileges.
Section 4.04. Notice of Dividends, Fixing of Record Date for
Receipt Holders. Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall
become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever
rights, preferences or privileges shall be offered, with respect to the
Preferred Stock, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting
at which holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of
Preferred Stock are entitled to notice, or whenever the Depositary shall receive
notice of any election or requirement on the part of the Company to redeem or
exchange any share of the Preferred Stock, or whenever the Depositary and the
Company shall decide it is appropriate, the Depositary shall fix a record date
(which shall be the record date fixed by the Company with respect to the
Preferred Stock) for the determination of the holders of Receipts (i) who shall
be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or
privileges or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, (ii) who shall be entitled
to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting,
(iii) who shall be entitled to notice of such meeting or (iv) for any other
appropriate reasons.
Section 4.05. Voting Rights. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting
at which the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary
shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the record holders of Receipts
a notice, the form of which shall be prepared by the
-14-
18
Company and delivered to the Depositary and which shall contain (i) such
information as is contained in such notice of meeting and (ii) a statement that
the holders of Receipts at the close of business on a specified record date
determined in accordance with Section 4.04 of this Deposit Agreement shall be
entitled, subject to any applicable provisions of law and of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Company's Bylaws or the
Certificate, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights
pertaining to the amount of Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares
evidenced by their respective Receipts and (iii) a brief statement as to the
manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of a
holder of a Receipt on such record date, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar
as practicable to vote or cause to be voted the amount of Preferred Stock
represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt in accordance
with the instructions set forth in such request. The Company hereby agrees to
take all action which may be deemed necessary by the Depositary in order to
enable the Depositary to vote such Preferred Stock or cause such Preferred Stock
to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from the holder of a
Receipt, the Depositary will abstain from voting to the extent of the Preferred
Stock underlying such Receipt.
Section 4.06. Changes Affecting Deposited Securities and
Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, etc. Upon any change in par value,
split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of the Preferred Stock, or
upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation
or sale of assets affecting the Company or to which it is a party, the
Depositary shall, upon the instructions of the Company, treat any securities
which shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon conversion of
or in respect of the Preferred Stock as new deposited securities under this
Deposit Agreement, and Depositary Shares and Receipts then outstanding shall
thenceforth represent and evidence the new deposited securities so received in
exchange or conversion. In any such case the Depositary may in its discretion,
with the approval of the Company, or shall upon the instructions of the Company,
and (in either case) in such manner as the Depositary may deem equitable, (i)
make such adjustments as are certified by the Company in (x) the fraction of an
interest represented by one Depositary Share in one share of Preferred Stock and
(y) the ratio of the Redemption Price per Depositary Share to the redemption
price of a share of Preferred Stock, in each case as may be necessary fully to
reflect the effects of such change in par or stated value, split-up, combination
or other reclassification of Preferred Stock, or of such recapitalization,
reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets and (ii) treat any securities or
property which shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon
conversion of or in respect of the Preferred Stock as new deposited property so
received in exchange for or upon conversion or in respect of such Preferred
Stock. In any such case the Depositary may in its discretion with the approval
of the Company, execute and deliver additional Receipts or may call for the
surrender of all outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts
specifically describing such new deposited property. Anything to the contrary
herein notwithstanding, holders of Receipts shall have the right from and after
the effective date of any such change in par or stated value, split-up,
combination or other reclassification of the Preferred Stock or any such
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation or sale
of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to surrender such Receipts
to the Depositary with instructions to convert, exchange or surrender the
Preferred Stock represented thereby only into or for, as the case may be, the
kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property and cash into
which the Preferred Stock represented by such Receipts might have been converted
or for which such Preferred Stock might have been
-15-
19
exchanged or surrendered immediately prior to the effective date of such
transaction; provided that in no event shall the Company be required to deliver
fractional shares of Common Stock.
Section 4.07. Reports. The Depositary shall make available for
inspection by holders of Receipts during business hours at its Corporate Trust
Office any reports and communications received from the Company which are
received by the Depositary as the holder of the Preferred Stock.
Section 4.08. Lists of Receipt Holders. Promptly upon request by
the Company, the Depositary shall furnish to it a list, as of a recent date, of
the names, addresses and holdings of Depositary Shares by all persons in whose
names Receipts are registered on the books of the Depositary.
ARTICLE V
THE DEPOSITARY, THE DEPOSITARY'S AGENTS,
THE REGISTRAR AND THE COMPANY
Section 5.01. Maintenance of Offices, Agencies and Transfer Books
by the Depositary; Registrar. Until termination of this Deposit Agreement in
accordance with its terms, the Depositary shall maintain at its Corporate Trust
Office facilities for the execution and delivery, transfer, surrender and
exchange, split-up and combination of Receipts and the deposit and withdrawal of
Preferred Stock, and at the offices of the Depositary's Agents, if any,
facilities for the delivery, transfer, surrender and exchange, split-up,
combination and redemption of Receipts and the deposit and withdrawal of
Preferred Stock, all in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit
Agreement.
The Depositary shall keep books at its Corporate Trust Office for the
registration and transfer of Receipts, which at all reasonable times shall be
open for inspection by the record holders of Receipts as and to the extent
provided by applicable law to the same extent as a record holder of Preferred
Stock may inspect books for the transfer of Preferred Stock. The Depositary may
close the books, at any time or from time to time, when deemed advisable by it
in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder.
If the Receipts or the Depositary Shares evidenced thereby or the
Preferred Stock represented by such Depositary Shares shall be listed on any
national securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system, the
Depositary may, with the approval of the Company, appoint a Registrar for
registry of the Receipts in accordance with any requirements of such exchanges
or such quotation systems. Such Registrar (which may be the Depositary if so
permitted by the requirements of such exchanges or such quotation systems) may
be removed and a substitute Registrar appointed by the Depositary upon the
request or with the approval of the Company. If the Receipts, such Depositary
Shares or such Preferred Stock are listed on any such exchange or such quotation
system, the Depositary shall, at the request of the Company, arrange for such
facilities for the delivery, transfer, surrender and exchange of Receipts, such
Depositary Shares or such Preferred Stock as may be required by law or
applicable securities exchange or quotation system regulations.

Section 5.02. Prevention of or Delay in Performance by the
Depositary, the Depositary's Agents, the Registrar or the Company. Neither the
Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor any Registrar nor the Company shall
incur any liability to any holder of any Receipt, if by reason of any provision
of any present or future law or regulation of the United States of America or of
any other governmental authority, or, in the case of the Depositary, the
Depositary's Agent or the Registrar by reason of any provision, present or
future, of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or the
Certificate, or by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstance beyond

incur any liability to any holder of a Receipt by reason of any nonperformance
or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which by
the terms of this Deposit Agreement shall or may be done or performed, or by
reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for
in this Deposit Agreement.
Section 5.03. Obligations of the Depositary, the Depositary's
Agents, the Registrar and the Company. Neither the Depositary nor any
Depositary's Agent nor any Registrar nor the Company assumes any obligation or
shall be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to holders of

performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Deposit
Agreement.
Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor any Registrar nor
the Company shall be under any obligation to take action hereunder pursuant to
instructions of holders of Receipts (except as otherwise expressly provided
herein) or to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other
proceeding in respect of the Preferred Stock, the Receipts or the Depositary
Shares, which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless
indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) and liability be furnished as often as may be required.
Except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein, the Depositary
shall have no duty to make any determination with respect to the Preferred Stock
or the correctness of the amount of any dividend paid on the Preferred Stock.
Except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein, the Depositary shall have
no duty to inform the holders of Depositary Shares of any rights that such
holders may have with respect to the Preferred Stock other than the duty to
distribute notices from the Company.
Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor any Registrar nor
the Company shall be liable for any action or inaction by it in reliance upon
the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person
presenting Preferred Stock for deposit, any holder of a Receipt or any other
person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or
information. The Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, any Registrar or the
Company may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice,
request, direction or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Depositary,
the Depositary's Agents, any Registrar or the Company be liable for any
indirect, special or consequential loss or damage (including, but not limited
to, loss of profits) arising from acts or
-17-
21
omissions committed in connection with the performance of this Deposit
Agreement, it being the understanding of the parties that Depositary's liability
hereunder shall not extend beyond direct, general contract damages.

or effect of any such vote made, as long as any such action or inaction is in
good faith.
The Depositary and its agents shall not be liable to the Company for
any acts or omissions committed in connection with the performance with this
Deposit Agreement except for acts or omissions committed by it or its agents out
of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
The Depositary, the Depositary's Agents and any Registrar may own and
deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in
Receipts. The Depositary may also be a depositary of the Company and its
affiliates for any purpose, may loan money to the Company and its affiliates,
may act as trustee, transfer agent or registrar of any of the securities of the
Company and its affiliates and may engage in any other business with or for the
Company and its affiliates.
Section 5.04. Resignation and Removal of the Depositary;
Appointment of Successor Depositary. The Depositary may at any time resign as
Depositary hereunder by written notice of its election so to do delivered to the
Company, such resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor
depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided.
The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by written
notice of such removal delivered to the Depositary, such removal to take effect
upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such
appointment as hereinafter provided.
In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be
removed, the Company shall, within 60 days after the delivery of the notice of
resignation or removal, as the case may be, appoint a successor depositary,
which shall be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United
States and a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If a
successor depositary shall not have been appointed within 60 days, the resigning
or removed Depositary may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint
a successor depositary. Every successor depositary shall execute and deliver to
its predecessor and to the Company an instrument in writing accepting its
appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor depositary, without any
further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor, nevertheless,
upon payment of all sums due it pursuant to this Deposit Agreement and on the
written request of the Company, shall execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor
hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor all right,
title and interest in the Preferred Stock held by such depositary, including all
cash and other property held by it pursuant to this Deposit Agreement, and shall
deliver to such successor a list of the record holders of all outstanding
Receipts. Any successor depositary shall promptly mail notice of its appointment
to the record holders of Receipts.
-18-
22
Any corporation into or with which the Depositary may be merged or
consolidated shall be the successor of such Depositary without the execution or
filing of any document or any further act. Such successor depositary may execute
the Receipts either in the name of the predecessor depositary or in the name of
the successor depositary.
Section 5.05. Corporate Notices and Reports. The Company will transmit,
or furnish to the Depositary for transmission, to the holders of Receipts, at
the addresses recorded in the Depositary's books, copies of all notices and
reports furnished by the Company to the holders of the Preferred Stock. Such
transmission will be at the Company's expense and the Company will provide the
Depositary with such number of copies of such documents as the Depositary may
reasonably request. In addition, the Depositary will transmit to the holders of
Receipts (at the expense of the Company) such other documents as may be
requested by the Company.
Section 5.06. Deposit of Preferred Stock by the Company. The Company
agrees with the Depositary that neither the Company nor any person controlled by
the Company will at any time deposit any Preferred Stock if such Preferred Stock
is required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act and no
registration statement is in effect as to such Preferred Stock.
Section 5.07. Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to
indemnify the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, and any Registrar against, and
hold each harmless from, any liability which may arise out of acts performed or
omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and of the
Receipts, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to
time, by the Depositary or such Depositary's Agent, as the case may be, except
for any liability arising out of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad
faith.
Section 5.08. Charges and Expenses. No fees, charges and expenses of
the Depositary or Depositary's Agent hereunder or any Registrar shall be payable
by any person other than the Company, except for any taxes and other
governmental charges and except as otherwise provided herein. If, at the request
of a holder of a Receipt or Receipts, the Depositary incurs fees, charges or
expenses for which it is not otherwise liable hereunder, such holder will be
liable for such fees, charges and expenses and the Depositary shall not be
obligated to, and shall incur no liability for the failure to, tender payment
for such fees, charges or expenses unless the Depositary shall have received
payment from such holder. All other fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
Section 6.01. Amendment. The form of the Receipts and any provisions of
this Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by
agreement between the Company and the Depositary in any respect which they may
deem necessary or desirable; provided, however that no such amendment (other
than any change in the fees of any Depositary, Depositary's Agent or Registrar,
which shall go into effect not sooner than three months after notice thereof to
the holders of the Receipts) which shall materially and adversely alter the
rights of the holders of Receipts shall be effective unless such amendment shall
have been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the Depositary
Shares then outstanding. Every holder of an outstanding Receipt at the time any
such amendment so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such
Receipt, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit
Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right
of the holder of any Receipt, subject to the conditions of this Deposit
Agreement, to surrender such Receipt and receive therefor the Preferred Stock
represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of
applicable law.
Section 6.02. Termination. The Deposit Agreement may be terminated by
the Company or the Depositary only if and after (i) there shall have been a
final distribution in respect of the Preferred Stock in connection with any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and such distribution
shall have been distributed by the Depositary to the holders of Receipts or (ii)
each share of Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, converted into shares of
Common Stock or exchanged for PracticeWorks Preferred Stock.
If any Receipts shall remain outstanding after the date of termination,
the Depositary thereafter shall discontinue the transfer of Receipts, shall
suspend the distribution of dividends to the holders thereof, and shall not give
any further notices (other than notice of such termination) or perform any
further acts under this Deposit Agreement, except that the Depositary shall
continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to the
Preferred Stock, and shall
-20-
24
continue to deliver Preferred Stock together with any dividends or other
distributions received with respect thereto and the net proceeds of the sale of
any rights, preferences, privileges or other property in exchange for Receipts
surrendered to the Depositary. Subject to the provisions of the balance of this
paragraph, at any time after the expiration of two years from the date of
termination, the Depositary may sell the Preferred Stock then held hereunder at
public or private sale at such place or places and upon such terms as it deems
proper and may thereafter hold the net proceeds of any such sale, together with
any other cash then held by it hereunder, without liability for interest, for
the pro rata benefit of the holders of Receipts which have not theretofore been
surrendered. After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all
obligations under this Deposit Agreement, except to account for such net
proceeds and other cash. Subject to the provisions of the balance of this
paragraph, upon the termination of this Deposit Agreement the Company shall be
discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement except for its
obligations to the Depositary and the Registrar, if any, under Sections 5.07 and
5.08 hereof. The Company shall be entitled to receive from the Depositary
interest or other income, if any, earned on money so held by the Depositary or
otherwise held by the Depositary pursuant to any other section of this Deposit
Agreement, and such interest or other income shall be paid by the Depositary to
the Company upon request, but not more often than once in any quarter. Any such
monies unclaimed by the holders of Receipts more than two years from the date of
termination of this Deposit Agreement shall, upon request of the Company, be
paid to it (together with such interest or other income not previously paid to
the Company), and after such payment, the holders of Receipts entitled to the
funds so paid to the Company shall look only to the Company for payment without
interest. The Depositary shall invest all such moneys in such fashion as may be
agreed with the Company, consistent with the duties of the Depositary to the
holders of Receipts under this Deposit Agreement.

DEPOSITARY RECEIPT
FOR
DEPOSITARY SHARES
REPRESENTING SERIES A CONVERTIBLE
REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
(par value $0.001 per share)
OF
INFOCURE CORPORATION
(Incorporated under the Laws of the State of Delaware)
No. Depositary Shares (each Depositary Share represents one-tenth
(1/10th) of one share of Series A Convertible Redeemable
Preferred Stock (par value $0.001 per share))
1. StockTrans, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, with its principal
executive offices at the time of the execution of the Deposit Agreement (as
defined below) at 44 West Lancaster Drive, Ardmore, Pennsylvania 19003, as
Depositary (the "Depositary"), hereby certifies that_____________________ is the
registered owner of __________ Depositary Shares ("Depositary Shares"), each
Depositary Share representing one-tenth (1/10th) of one share of Series A
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (par value $0.001 per share) (the
"Preferred Stock") of InfoCure Corporation, a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"). The rights,
preferences and limitations of the Preferred Stock are set forth in the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the resolutions adopted
by the Company's Board of Directors establishing the Preferred Stock (the
"Certificate"), copies of which are on file at the Depositary's Corporate Trust
Office in Ardmore, Pennsylvania.
2. The Deposit Agreement. Depositary Receipts (the "Receipts"), of
which this Receipt is one, are made available upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the Deposit Agreement, dated as of ________, 2000 (the "Deposit
Agreement"), among the Company, the Depositary and all holders from time to time
of Receipts. The Deposit Agreement (copies of which are on file at the
Depositary's Corporate Trust Office in Ardmore, Pennsylvania) sets forth the
rights of holders of Receipts and the rights and duties of the Depositary in
respect of the Preferred Stock deposited and any and all other property and cash
from time to time held thereunder. The statements made on the face and the
reverse of this Receipt are summaries of certain provisions of the Deposit
Agreement and are subject to the detailed provisions thereof, to which reference
is hereby made. Unless otherwise expressly herein provided, all defined terms
used herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Deposit Agreement.
3. Redemption. The Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary
Shares representing such Preferred Stock. The redemption price per Depositary
Share will be equal to one-tenth (1/10th) of the per share amount payable with
respect to the Preferred Stock, which amount is calculated pursuant to Section
5(a) of the Certificate. The Depositary shall mail notice of such redemption and
the simultaneous redemption of the number of Depositary Shares
A-1
29
representing the Preferred Stock to be redeemed, first class mail postage
prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to
each holder of record) of Receipts for Depositary Shares to be redeemed, at the
addresses of such holders as the same appear on the records of the Depositary;
but neither failure to mail any such notice to one or more such holders nor any
defect in any notice shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for
redemption as to other holders. Each such notice shall state (i) the Redemption
Date; (ii) the number of Depositary Shares to be redeemed and, if less than all
the Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts held by such holder are to be
redeemed, the number of such Depositary Shares to be redeemed from such holder;
(iii) the redemption price per Depositary Share; (iv) the place or places where
Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares are to be presented and surrendered for
payment of the redemption price per Depositary Share; and (v) that dividends in
respect of the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the
Redemption Date. The Depositary shall have no liability to the holders of
Depositary Shares for failure timely to pay the redemption price for Depositary
Shares to be redeemed if the Company shall have failed to deposit with the
Depositary the redemption price for the Preferred Stock underlying such
Depositary Shares prior to the Redemption Date.
4. Conversion Rights. Receipts may be surrendered by delivery of a
Conversion Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, to the Depositary
to instruct the Company to cause the conversion of any specified number of whole
or fractional shares of Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares
evidenced by such Receipts into the number of whole shares of Common Stock
obtained by dividing the aggregate liquidation preference (then in effect) of
such Depositary Shares by the Conversion Price (then in effect), as such
Conversion Price may be adjusted by the Company from time to time as provided in
the Certificate. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement
and the Certificate, a holder of a Receipt or Receipts evidencing Depositary
Shares representing whole or fractional shares of Preferred Stock may surrender
such Receipt or Receipts to the Depositary at the Depositary's Corporate Trust
Office or to such office or to such Depositary's Agents as the Depositary may
designate for such purpose, together with (i) a Conversion Notice, and (ii) any
payment in respect of dividends required by this Section 2.10 of the Deposit
Agreement, thereby directing the Depositary to instruct the Company to cause the
conversion of the number of shares or fractions thereof of underlying Preferred
Stock specified in such Conversion Notice into whole shares of Common Stock. In
the event that a holder delivers to the Depositary for conversion a Receipt or
Receipts which in the aggregate are convertible into less than one whole share
of Common Stock or any number of whole shares of Common Stock plus an excess
constituting less than one whole share of Common Stock, the holder shall receive
payment in lieu of such fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable in
accordance with the last paragraph of this Section 2.10. If more than one
Receipt shall be delivered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the
number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be
computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by
the Receipts so delivered. The conversion date shall be deemed to have occurred
on such date as the holder surrenders such Receipts to be converted to the
Depositary.
Upon receipt by the Depositary of a Receipt or Receipts, together with
a Conversion Notice, duly completed and executed, directing the Depositary to
instruct the Company to cause the conversion of a specified number of shares or
fractions thereof of Preferred Stock, the Depositary shall, on the date of
receipt of such Conversion Notice, instruct the Company (i) to
A-2
30
cause the conversion of the Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares
evidenced by the Receipts so surrendered for conversion as specified in the
Conversion Notice to the Depositary and (ii) to cause the delivery to the holder
or holders of such Receipts of a certificate or certificates evidencing the
number of shares of Common Stock (or any cash, securities or other property
deliverable in lieu of such Common Stock), and the amount of money, if any, to
be delivered to the holders of Receipts surrendered for conversion in payment of
any fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable. The Company shall, as
promptly as practicable after receipt of such instructions from the Depositary,
cause the delivery to such holder or holders of (i) a certificate or
certificates evidencing the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which
the Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such
Receipt or Receipts has been converted, and (ii) any money or other property to
which the holder or holders are entitled. The person or persons in whose name or
names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be
issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or
holders of record of the shares represented thereby at the close of business on
the date such Receipt or Receipts shall have been surrendered to and a
Conversion Notice received by the Depositary, unless the stock transfer books of
the Company shall be closed on that date, in which event such person or persons
shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record on the next
succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open.
Upon such conversion, the Depositary (i) shall deliver to the holder a
Receipt evidencing the number of Depositary Shares, if any, which such holder
has elected not to convert in excess of the number of Depositary Shares
representing Preferred Stock which has been so converted, (ii) shall cancel the
Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts surrendered for conversion and (iii)
shall deliver for cancellation to the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock the
shares of Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by the
Receipts so surrendered and so converted.
If any Preferred Stock shall be called by the Company for redemption or
exchange, such Preferred Stock may be converted into Common Stock as provided in
this Deposit Agreement until and including, but not after, the close of business
on the Redemption Date or the Exchange Date (unless the Company shall default in
making payment of the amount payable upon such redemption or exchange) or, if
the Company shall so elect and state in the notice of redemption the date on
which the Company irrevocably deposits with the designated bank or trust company
as paying agent, moneys sufficient to pay, on the Redemption Date, the
Redemption Price. Upon receipt by the Depositary of a Receipt or Receipts
evidencing Depositary Shares representing any Preferred Stock called for
redemption or exchange, together with a properly completed and executed Notice
of Conversion, the shares of Preferred Stock held by the Depositary represented
by such Depositary Shares for which conversion is requested shall be deemed to
have been received by the Company for conversion.
Upon any conversion of the Preferred Stock underlying the Depositary
Shares, no allowance, adjustment or payment shall be made with respect to
accrued dividends upon such Preferred Stock except that if any holder of a
Receipt surrenders such Receipt with instructions to the Depositary for
conversion of the underlying Preferred Stock evidenced thereby during the period
between the opening of business on any dividend record date and the close of
business on
A-3
31
the corresponding dividend payment date (except shares called for redemption or
exchange on a Redemption Date or Exchange Date during such period), such Receipt
must be accompanied by a payment equal to the dividend thereon, if any, which
the holder of record of such Receipt is entitled to receive on such dividend
payment date in respect of the underlying Preferred Stock to be converted.
Upon the conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock for which a Notice
of Conversion has been received by the Depositary, all dividends in respect of
such Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue, such Preferred Stock and the
Depositary Shares representing such Preferred Stock shall be deemed no longer
outstanding, all rights of the holder of the Receipt with respect to such
Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the Common Stock, any cash
payable with respect to any fractional shares of Common Stock as provided
herein, any cash payable on account of accrued dividends in respect of the
Preferred Stock so converted, any other cash securities or other property to
which the holder is entitled and any Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares
representing Preferred Stock not so converted) shall terminate, and the Receipt
evidencing such Depositary Shares shall be cancelled in accordance with Section
2.09.
No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion
of Preferred Stock underlying the Depositary Shares. If, except for the
provisions of Section 2.10 of the Deposit Agreement and the Certificate, any
holder of Receipts surrendered with instructions to the Depositary for
conversion of the underlying Preferred Stock would be entitled to a fractional
share of Common Stock upon such conversion, the Company shall cause to be
delivered to such holder an amount in cash for such fractional share determined
in accordance with the Certificate.
5. Optional Exchange of Preferred Stock for PracticeWorks Preferred
Stock. Whenever the Company shall elect to exchange all of the shares of
Preferred Stock for PracticeWorks Preferred Stock, it shall give the Depositary
not less than 10 days' prior written notice of the date of such proposed
exchange of Preferred Stock. On the date of such exchange, provided that
PracticeWorks shall then have issued and deposited with the Depositary the
PracticeWorks Preferred Stock for the Preferred Stock to be exchanged, the
Depositary shall exchange the Depositary Shares representing the Preferred Stock
in exchange for the PracticeWorks Preferred Stock issued in such exchange. The
Depositary shall mail notice of such exchange and the proposed simultaneous
exchange of the Depositary Shares representing the Preferred Stock to be
exchanged, first class postage prepaid, not less than 30 and not more than 60
days prior to the date fixed for exchange for such Preferred Stock and
Depositary Shares (the "Exchange Date"), to the record holders on the record
date for such exchange (determined pursuant to Section 4.04) of the Receipts
evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so exchanged, at the addresses of such
holders as the same appear on the records of the Depositary; but neither failure
to mail any such notice to one or more such holders nor any defect in any notice
shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for exchange as to other
holders. PracticeWorks shall provide the Depositary with such notice and each
such notice shall state the record date for the purposes of such exchange, the
Exchange Date, the place or places where Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares
are to be surrendered for exchange, that dividends in respect of the Preferred
Stock represented by the Depositary Shares to be exchanged will cease to accrue
at the close of business on such Exchange Date, and that the conversion rights
in respect thereof will terminate at the close of business on the last business
day preceding such Exchange Date.
A-4
32
Notice having been mailed by the Depositary as aforesaid, from and
after the Exchange Date (unless default shall be made by PracticeWorks in
issuing the PracticeWorks Preferred Stock in exchange for, or in making the
final dividend payment on, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock on the
Exchange Date), all dividends in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock so
called for exchange shall cease to accrue, the conversion rights in respect
thereof will terminate, the Depositary Shares being exchanged shall be deemed no
longer to be outstanding, all rights of the holders of Receipts evidencing such
Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the Debentures to be exchanged
therefor) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate
and, upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the Receipts evidencing
any such Depositary Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the
Depositary or applicable law shall so require), such Depositary Shares shall be
accepted in exchange for such PracticeWorks Preferred Stock at an exchange rate
per Depositary Share equal to one-tenth (1/10th) of the exchange rate per share
in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock plus all money and other property,
if any, represented by each such Depositary Share, including all amounts paid by
the Company in respect of dividends which on the Exchange Date have accrued on
the shares of Preferred Stock to be so exchanged and have not theretofore been
paid. The foregoing shall further be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Certificate.
6. Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Preferred Stock. Upon
surrender of this Receipt to the Depositary at its Corporate Trust Office or at
such other offices as it may designate, and subject to the provisions of the
Deposit Agreement, the holder hereof is entitled to withdraw, and to obtain
delivery, to or upon the order of such holder, of, the number of whole or
fractional shares of the Preferred Stock and any other property, if any, at the
time represented hereby; provided, however, that in the event this Receipt shall
evidence a number of Depositary Shares in excess of the number of Depositary
Shares representing the number of whole or fractional shares of Preferred Stock
to be so withdrawn, the Depositary shall, in addition to such number of whole or
fractional shares of Preferred Stock and the other property, if any, to be so
withdrawn, deliver, to or upon the order of such holder, a new Receipt
evidencing such excess number of Depositary Shares.
A Receipt surrendered for such purposes may be required by the
Depositary to be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly
executed instrument of transfer in blank, and the holder thereof shall execute
and deliver to the Depositary a written order directing the Depositary to cause
the Preferred Stock being withdrawn to be delivered to or upon the written order
of a person or persons designated in such order. Thereupon, the Depositary shall
deliver at its Corporate Trust Office, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Deposit Agreement, to or upon the written order of the person or persons
designated in the order delivered to the Depositary as above provided, the
Preferred Stock and other property represented by such Receipt.
If the Receipt or Receipts delivered by the holder thereof evidence a
number of Depositary Shares (and corresponding Preferred Stock) in excess of the
number of Depositary Shares representing the number of whole shares of Preferred
Stock to be withdrawn by such holder, the Depositary shall deliver to such
holder simultaneously a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing such excess number of
Depositary Shares.

7. Transfers, Split-ups, Combinations. This Receipt is transferable on
the books of the Depositary upon surrender of this Receipt to the Depositary,
properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer,
and upon such transfer the Depositary shall sign and deliver a Receipt to or
upon the order of the person entitled thereto, as provided in the Deposit
Agreement. This Receipt may be split into other Receipts or combined with other
Receipts into one Receipt, evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary
Shares as evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered.
8. Conditions to Signing and Delivery Transfer, etc., of Receipts.
Prior to the execution and delivery, transfer, split-up, combination, surrender
or exchange of this Receipt, the Depositary, or any of the Depositary's Agents,
may require payment of a sum sufficient for reimbursement of any tax or other
governmental charge with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge with
respect to Preferred Stock being withdrawn), may require proof satisfactory to
it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require
compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary may establish
pursuant to the Deposit Agreement. Any holder of this Receipt, may be required
to file such information, and to execute such certificates, as the Depositary
may reasonably deem necessary or proper.
9. Suspension of Delivery, Transfer, etc. The deposit of Preferred
Stock, the delivery of this Receipt against Preferred Stock or the transfer,
surrender or exchange of this Receipt may be suspended (i) during any period
when the register of stockholders of the Company is closed, or (ii) if any such
action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary, any of the
Depositary's Agents or the Company at any time or from time to time because of
any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission,
or under any provision of the Deposit Agreement or for any other reason.
10. Payment of Taxes or Other Governmental Charges. If any tax or other
governmental charge shall become payable by or on behalf of the Depositary with
respect to this Receipt or with respect to the Depositary Shares evidenced
hereby or with respect to the Preferred Stock (or any fractional interest
therein) represented by such Depositary Shares, such tax (including transfer
taxes, if any) or governmental charge shall be payable by the holder hereof.
Transfer of this Receipt or any withdrawal of the Preferred Stock may be refused
until such payment is made, and any dividends or other distributions may be
withheld, or any part or all of the Preferred Stock represented by this Receipt
and not theretofore sold may be sold for the account of the holder hereof, and
such dividends or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale may be
applied to payment of any such tax or other governmental charge, the holder of
this Receipt remaining liable for any deficiency.
11. Representations and Warranties. The Company with its deposit of
Preferred Stock under the Deposit Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent
and warrant that such Preferred Stock or each certificate therefor is valid. The
Company hereby further represents and warrants that the Preferred Stock, when
issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of Preferred Stock
and the issuance of the Receipts. Additional representations and warranties of
the Company are set forth under Article V of the Deposit Agreement.

12. Amendment. The form of the Receipts and any provisions of this
Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement
between the Company and the Depositary in any respect which they may deem
necessary or desirable; provided, however that no such amendment (other than any
change in the fees of any Depositary, Depositary's Agent or Registrar, which
shall go into effect not sooner than three months after notice thereof to the
holders of the Receipts) which shall materially and adversely alter the rights
of the holders of Receipts shall be effective unless such amendment shall have
been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the Depositary Shares
then outstanding. The holder of this Receipt at the time any such amendment so
becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold this Receipt, to
consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as
amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the holder
of this Receipt, subject to the conditions of the Deposit Agreement, to
surrender this Receipt and receive therefor the Preferred Stock represented
hereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.
13. Charges of Depositary. The Company will pay all charges of the
Depositary, except for fees for the delivery of Receipts against the deposit of
Preferred Stock (other than the initial deposit and delivery), taxes and other
governmental charges, and such telegram, telex and delivery charges as are
expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement to be at the expense of persons
depositing Preferred Stock or holders of Receipts.
14. Title to Receipts. It is a condition of this Receipt, and every
successive holder hereof by accepting or holding the same consents and agrees,
that title to this Receipt (and to the Depositary Shares evidenced hereby), when
properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer,
is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable
instrument; provided, however, that until this Receipt shall be transferred on
the books of the Depositary as provided in Section 2.04 of the Deposit
Agreement, the Depositary may, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, treat
the record holder hereof at such time as the absolute owner hereof for the
purpose of determining the person entitled to distributions of dividends or
other distributions or to any notice provided for in the Deposit Agreement and
for all other purposes.
15. Dividends and Distributions. Pursuant to and subject to the
provisions of the Certificate, whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash
dividend or other cash distribution from the Company on the Preferred Stock,
which such dividend or distribution the Depositary shall hold in trust for the
benefit of the holders of Receipts, the Depositary shall distribute to each
record holder of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 of
the Deposit Agreement the amount of such distribution as is, as nearly as
possible, in proportion to the number of outstanding Depositary Shares held by
such holder; provided, however, that in case the Company or the Depositary shall
be required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash
distribution in respect of the Preferred Stock an amount on account of taxes,
the amount made available for distribution or distributed on the Receipts
evidencing Depositary Shares issued in respect of such Preferred Stock shall be
reduced accordingly. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Certificate,
if at any time the Company pays less than the total amount of dividends then
accrued with respect to the Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed
pro rata among the holders thereof based upon the number of shares of Preferred
Stock held by each such holder. Other distributions received on the Preferred
Stock
A-7
35
may be distributed to such holders of Receipts as provided in Section 4.02 of
the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall have no liability to the holders of
Depositary Shares for failure to distribute timely, or at all, such dividend or
distribution to the holders of Depositary Shares entitled thereto if the Company
shall have failed to deposit such dividend or distribution with the Depositary
prior to the applicable payment date for the dividend or distribution.
16. Subscription Rights, Preferences or Privileges. Whenever the
Company shall offer to the holders of the Preferred Stock any rights,
preferences or privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any securities or any
rights, preferences or privileges of any other nature, such rights, preferences
or privileges shall be made available by the Depositary to the holders of
Receipts in such manner as the Depositary may determine, either by the issue to
the record holders of Receipts entitled thereto of warrants representing such
rights, preferences or privileges or by such other method as may be approved by
the Depositary in its discretion; provided, however, that if at the time of
issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or privileges the Depositary
determines that it is not lawful or not feasible to make such rights,
preferences or privileges available to holders of Receipts by the issue of
warrants or otherwise, or if and to the extent so instructed by holders of
Receipts who do not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges,
the Depositary, in its discretion, may, if applicable laws permit transfer, sell
such rights, preferences or privileges at public or private sale, at such place
or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any
such sale shall be distributed by the Depositary to the record holders of
Receipts entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution received in cash.
If any other action (including the registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of the securities to which any
rights, preferences or privileges relate) under the laws of any jurisdiction or
any governmental or administrative authorization, consent or permit is required
in order for such rights, preferences or privileges to be made available to
holders of Receipts, the Company will use its best efforts to take such action
or obtain such registration, authorization, consent or permit sufficiently in
advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable
holders of Receipts to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. In no
event shall the Depositary make available to the holders of Receipts any right,
preference or privilege to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless
and until any such required registration statement is in effect or the
Depositary receives an opinion from counsel to the Company that the offering and
sale of such securities to such holders are exempt from registration under the
Securities Act.
17. Fixing of Record Date. Whenever any cash dividend or other cash
distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be
made, or whenever rights, preferences or privileges shall be offered, with
respect to the Preferred Stock, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice
of any meeting at which holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote or of
which holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to notice or whenever the
Depositary shall receive notice of any election or requirement on the part of
the Company to redeem or exchange any share of the Preferred Stock, or whenever
the Depositary and the Company shall decide it is appropriate, the Depositary
shall in each such instance fix a record date (which shall be the record date
fixed by the Company with respect to the Preferred Stock) for the determination
of the holders of Receipts who shall be entitled to receive such dividend,
distribution, rights, preferences or privileges, or to give instructions for the
exercise of voting
A-8
36
rights at any such meeting, or who shall be entitled to notice of such meeting,
or for any other reasons.
18. Voting Rights. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the
holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary shall, as soon
as practicable, mail to the record holders of Receipts a notice, the form of
which shall be prepared by the Company and delivered to the Depositary and which
shall contain (i) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting and
(ii) a statement that the holders of Receipts at the close of business on a
specified record date determined as provided in Paragraph 17 will be entitled,
subject to any applicable provisions of law and of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, the Company's Bylaws or the Certificate, to instruct
the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount
of Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by their
respective Receipts, and (iii) a brief statement as to the manner in which such
instructions may be given. Upon the written request of a holder of a Receipt on
such record date, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote
or cause to be voted the amount of Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary
Shares evidenced by such Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth
in such request. In the absence of specific instructions from the holder of a
Receipt, the Depositary will abstain from voting to the extent of the Preferred
Stock underlying such Receipt.
19. Changes Affecting Deposited Securities. Upon any change in par
value, split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of the Preferred
Stock, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or
consolidation or sale of assets affecting the Company or to which it is a party,
the Depositary shall, upon the instructions of the Company, treat any securities
which shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon conversion of
or in respect of the Preferred Stock as new deposited securities under this
Deposit Agreement, and Depositary Shares and Receipts then outstanding shall
thenceforth represent and evidence the new deposited securities so received in
exchange or conversion. In any such case the Depositary may in its discretion,
with the approval of the Company, or shall upon the instructions of the Company,
and (in either case) in such manner as the Depositary may deem equitable, (i)
make such adjustments as are certified by the Company in (x) the fraction of an
interest represented by one Depositary Share in one share of Preferred Stock and
(y) the ratio of the redemption price per Depositary Share to the redemption
price of a share of Preferred Stock, in each case as may be necessary fully to
reflect the effects of such change in par or stated value, split-up, combination
or other reclassification of Preferred Stock, or of such recapitalization,
reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets and (ii) treat any securities or
property which shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon
conversion of or m respect of the Preferred Stock as new deposited property so
received in exchange for or upon conversion or in respect of such Preferred
Stock. In any such case the Depositary may in its discretion with the approval
of the Company, execute and deliver additional Receipts or may call for the
surrender of all outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts
specifically describing such new deposited property. Anything to the contrary
herein notwithstanding, holders of Receipts shall have the right from and after
the effective date of any such change in par or stated value, split-up,
combination or other reclassification of the Preferred Stock or any such
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation or sale
of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to surrender such Receipts
to the Depositary with instructions to convert,
A-9
37
exchange or surrender the Preferred Stock represented thereby only into or for,
as the case may be, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities,
property and cash into which the Preferred Stock represented by such Receipts
might have been converted or for which such Preferred Stock might have been
exchanged or surrendered immediately prior to the effective date of such
transaction; provided that in no event shall the Company be required to deliver
fractional shares of Common Stock.
20. Reports; Inspection of Transfer Books. The Depositary shall make
available for inspection by holders of Receipts at its Corporate Trust Office
any reports and communications received from the Company which are received by
the Depositary as the holder of Preferred Stock. The Depositary shall also send
to record holders of Receipts copies of such notices, reports and other
financial statements to the extent provided in the Deposit Agreement when
furnished by the Company. The Depositary shall keep books for the transfer of
Receipts, which at all reasonable times will be open for inspection by the
record holders of Receipts to the same extent as a record holder of Preferred
Stock may inspect books for the transfer of Preferred Stock.
21. Liability of Depositary, the Depositary's Agents, the Registrar and
the Company. Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor the Registrar
nor the Company shall incur any liability to any holder of any Receipt, if by
reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of any
governmental authority or, in the case of the Depositary, the Depositary's Agent
or the Registrar by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or the Certificate, or by reason of
any act of God or war or other circumstance beyond its control, the Depositary,
any Depositary's Agent, the Registrar or the Company shall be prevented or
forbidden from doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of the
Deposit Agreement shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary, any
Depositary's Agent, the Registrar or the Company incur any liability to any
holder of a Receipt by reason of any non-performance or delay, caused as
aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which by the terms of the
Deposit Agreement shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any
exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in the Deposit
Agreement.
22. Obligations of the Depositary, the Depositary's Agents, the
Registrar and the Company. Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor
the Company assumes any obligation or shall be subject to any liability under
the Deposit Agreement to holders of Receipts other than that each of them agrees
to use good faith in the performance of such duties as are specifically set
forth in the Deposit Agreement.
Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor any Registrar nor
the Company shall be under any obligation to take action under the Deposit
Agreement pursuant to instructions of holders of Receipts (except as otherwise
expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement) or to appear in, prosecute or
defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of the Preferred Stock,
the Depositary Shares or the Receipts, which in its opinion may involve it in
expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability be furnished as often as
may be required.
A-10
38

the Company shall be liable for any action or inaction by it in reliance upon
the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person
presenting Preferred Stock for deposit, any holder of a Receipt or any other
person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or
information. The Depositary or its agents shall not be liable to the Company for
any acts or omissions committed by it or its agents in connection with the
performance with this Deposit Agreement except for acts or omissions committed
out of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Depositary,

consequential loss or damage (including, but not limited to, loss of profits)
arising from acts or omissions committed in connection with the performance of

contract damages.

affiliates for any purpose, may loan money to the Company and its affiliates,
