THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and effective as of June 17, 2008 by and among HEALTH CARE SERVICE CORPORATION, a Mutual Legal Reserve Company, an Illinois corporation (“Parent”), MERCURY ACQUISITION CORP., a Pennsylvania corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and MEDECISION, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Company”).

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and Company desire to enter into a transaction whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into Company (the “Merger”), pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, no par value per share, of Company (“Company Common Stock”) not owned directly or indirectly by Company will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration; and

WHEREAS, Parent has required, as a condition to its willingness to enter into this Agreement, that (i) each of David St. Clair, Carl E. Smith, Liberty Ventures I, L.P. and Liberty Ventures II, L.P. enter into a Voting Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 and (ii) each of Stockwell Fund, L.P., Grotech Partners V, L.P. and Grotech V Maryland Fund, L.P. enter into a Voting Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2, (each such agreement, a “Voting Agreement” and collectively, the “Voting Agreements”) all concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, which Voting Agreements shall become effective as of the date of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and Company have approved this Agreement, the Voting Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Merger; and

WHEREAS, Parent has required, as a condition to its willingness to enter into this Agreement, that David St. Clair and Carl E. Smith enter into employment agreements (the “Employment Agreements”) with Company in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits B, and C, respectively, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, which Employment Agreements shall become effective as of the Effective Time; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Company has approved the Employment Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Company has resolved to recommend to Company’s shareholders the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger; and

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and Company desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with, and to prescribe certain conditions to, the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

1.1.The Merger.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (the “PBCL”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Company at the Effective Time.  Following the Effective Time, Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall terminate.

1.2.Closing.  The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall occur at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the first Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing, or such other time and date as Parent and Company shall agree in writing, unless this Agreement has been theretofore terminated pursuant to its terms (the actual time and date of the Closing is referred to as the “Closing Date”).  The Closing shall be held at the offices of Company, or such other place as Parent and Company shall agree in writing.

1.3.Effective Time.  At the Closing, the parties hereto shall (a) file articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the PBCL and (b) make all other filings or recordings required by the PBCL to effectuate the Merger.  The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger are duly filed with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or at such subsequent date and time as Company and Merger Sub shall agree and specify in the Articles of Merger (the date and time that the Merger becomes effective is referred to as the “Effective Time”).

1.4.Effects of the Merger.  At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of Section 1929 of the PBCL.

1.5.Articles of Incorporation.  At the Effective Time, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Company shall be amended and restated in their entirety in accordance with Exhibit D until thereafter amended in accordance with the PBCL and as provided in such Articles of Incorporation.

1.6.Bylaws.  At the Effective Time, the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of Company shall be amended and restated in their entirety in accordance with Exhibit E until thereafter amended in accordance with the PBCL and as provided in such Bylaws.

1.7.Officers and Directors.  As of the Effective Time, the persons listed on Schedule 1.7 to the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.  The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

1.8.Effect on Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, Company or the holders of any shares of Company

2

Common Stock or any shares of common stock, no par value, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”):

(a)Each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares canceled pursuant to Section 1.8(c)) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $7.00, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

(b)All shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any shares of Company Common Stock shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law.

(c)All shares of Company Common Stock that are owned directly or indirectly by Parent or any Subsidiary thereof, Merger Sub, Company or any Subsidiary thereof at the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(d)Each share of Merger Sub Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, no par value, of the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

1.9.Company Stock Options and Warrant. Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall take, and cause the Board of Directors of Company or any committee administering the Company Stock Plans to adopt resolutions approving the taking of, all actions (including, without limitation, obtaining all necessary consents and providing all necessary notices) to provide that:

(a)all outstanding Company Stock Options heretofore granted under the MEDecision, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, whether or not then exercisable or vested, and all outstanding Company Stock Options under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, other than the Company Stock Options set forth on Schedule 1.9 to the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Remaining Unvested Options”), whether or not then exercisable or vested, shall cease to represent, upon the Effective Time, a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted, in settlement and cancellation thereof, into the right to receive, immediately after the Effective Time, a lump sum cash payment by the Surviving Corporation of an amount equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the per share Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock for which such Company Stock Option shall not theretofore have been exercised (the “Option Merger Consideration”);

(b)the Remaining Unvested Options shall terminate as of the Effective Time and shall cease to represent, as of the Effective Time, a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock, and will otherwise be treated in the manner set forth on Schedule 1.9 to the Company Disclosure Schedule;

3

(c)Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from the holder of the Warrant an irrevocable notice to exercise the Warrant simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger such that the holder thereof receives at the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.8, a lump sum cash payment from Parent or the Surviving Corporation of an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the per share Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per share of the Warrant, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock for which such Warrant shall not theretofore have been exercised (the “Warrant Merger Consideration”);

(d)the Company Stock Plans shall terminate, and all rights under any provision of any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest with respect to the capital stock or other equity interests of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the Warrant, shall be canceled, effective upon the Effective Time, without any liability on the part of Company or any of its Subsidiaries (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement); and

(e)no Person shall have any right under the Company Stock Plans or under any other plan, program, agreement or arrangement with respect to equity interests of Company or any of its Subsidiaries (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) at and after the Effective Time.

(f)Reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than the time of the second general employee payroll payment made by the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time, except to the extent appropriate payment instructions for particular Persons are not reasonably accessible by such time), the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall pay the holders of Company Stock Options the cash payments specified in this Section 1.9.  No interest shall be paid or accrue on such cash payments.  To the extent the Surviving Corporation or Parent is required or entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Stock Options with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (collectively, the “Code”), or any provision of any other Tax Law, the amounts so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, any amounts deducted in accordance with the terms of any benefit plan (such as 401(k) plan contributions), and any amounts deducted in accordance with applicable Law or any Order (such as child support payments), as the case may be, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Stock Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.  Company shall cooperate with Parent, and keep Parent fully informed, with respect to all resolutions, actions and consents that Company intends to adopt, take and obtain in connection with the matters described in this Section 1.9.  Without limitation, Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all such resolutions and consents.

1.10.Certain Adjustments.  If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, (a) the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or different class, in each case, by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, (b) a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities of Company shall be declared with a record date within such period, (c) any other securities of Company shall

4

be declared with a record date within such period or (d) any similar event shall have occurred, then the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of shares of Company Common Stock (and Company Stock Options and the Warrant) the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

ARTICLE II
CONVERSION OF SHARES

2.1.Paying Agent.  At the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall designate, and enter into an agreement with, such bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Company to act as paying agent in the Merger (the “Paying Agent”), which agreement shall provide that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall deposit with the Paying Agent at the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8(a), cash sufficient to effect the payment of the Merger Consideration to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 1.8(a).

2.2.Payment Procedures.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than five Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock that were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8(a) (the “Certificates”) (a) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and shall be in such a form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (b) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration.  Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as Parent may appoint, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed, and such other documents as the Paying Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive, and the Paying Agent or such other agent or agents as Parent may appoint shall promptly pay (subject to the provisions of this Article II), the Merger Consideration in exchange for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.  No interest shall be paid or accrue on the Merger Consideration.  If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate is registered, then it shall be a condition to the payment of such Merger Consideration that (i) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall have (A) paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or (B) established to the satisfaction of Parent that any such Taxes either have been paid or are not payable.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate (other than a Certificate representing shares of Company Common Stock cancelled in accordance with Section 1.8(c)) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration, without interest, into which the shares of

5

Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.8(a).

2.3.No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock.  All consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificates, subject, however, to any obligation of the Surviving Corporation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been authorized or made with respect to shares of Company Common Stock which remain unpaid or unsatisfied at the Effective Time, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, the Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, except as otherwise provided by applicable Law.

2.4.Undistributed Merger Consideration.  Any portion of the funds made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.1 that remains undistributed to holders of Certificates on the date that is one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation or its designee, and any holders of Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for the Merger Consideration to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 1.8(a) and this Article II.  Any portion of the funds made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.1 that remains unclaimed by holders of Certificates on the date that is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

2.5.No Liability.  None of Parent, Merger Sub, Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or their respective representatives shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

2.6.Investment of Merger Consideration.  The Paying Agent shall invest the funds made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.1 as directed by Parent on a daily basis; provided, however, that such investments shall only be in direct obligations of, or obligations directly guaranteed by, the United States or money market funds investing solely in the foregoing.  No such gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to Section 1.8(a) and this Article II.  Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and shall promptly be paid to, the Surviving Corporation.  To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, such that the funds available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.1 diminish below the level required to make prompt payments of the Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, the Surviving Corporation shall promptly replace or restore the portion of such funds lost through investments so as to ensure that such funds are, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments.

6

2.7.Lost Certificates.  If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may require as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

2.8.Withholding Rights.  The Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled, and shall be entitled to direct the Paying Agent, to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock (or the Warrant) such amounts as Parent or the Surviving Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of any other Tax Law.  To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock (or the Warrant) in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent.

2.9.Further Assurances.  At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of Company or Merger Sub, all deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of Company or Merger Sub, all other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation all right, title and interest in, to and under all of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.10.Stock Transfer Books.  The stock transfer books of Company shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of Company.  At or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation for any reason shall, subject to compliance with the provisions of this Article II by the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF COMPANY

Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, after giving effect to Section 8.14 (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”), Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

3.1.Organization and Qualification.  Each of Company and its Subsidiaries is a corporation or other entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws

7

(i)Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or disclosed on Schedule 3.14 to the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) will:  (i)  increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Employee Benefit Plan; (ii) result in any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits; (iii) further limit or further prohibit the ability to amend or terminate any Employee Benefit Plan; (iv)  require the funding of any trust or other funding vehicle; or (v) renew or extend the term of any agreement in respect of compensation for an employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would create any liability to Company, any of its Subsidiaries, Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their respective Affiliates after consummation of the Merger.

5.6.Indemnification; Directors and Officers Insurance.

(a)For six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain all existing rights of any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Charter Documents”) and the organizational documents of such Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof or the indemnification agreements entered into with such Indemnitees and identified on Schedule 5.6(a) hereto, as the case may be.  Without limiting the foregoing, for six years after the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (or any successor) shall contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Company Charter Documents, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Indemnitees thereunder.  Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall honor all of its indemnification obligations existing as of the Effective Time.

(b)After the Effective Time, each of Parent, Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnitees shall cooperate in the defense of any litigation, claim or proceeding relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 5.6, and, to the extent it will not impair a legally recognized privilege, shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend

38

such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(c)The Company, in cooperation with Parent, shall purchase, effective as of the Effective Time, “tail” insurance coverage (“Tail Insurance”) with an extended reporting period of claims of six (6) years from the Effective Time, with at least the same coverage and policy limits as contained in, and containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable to those persons who are currently (and any additional persons who prior to the Effective Time become) covered by, the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage (including excess liability directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage) in force as of the date of this Agreement (“Current Insurance”).  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (i) the Tail Insurance shall only cover claims arising out of or relating to actual or alleged wrongful acts which occurred before or at the Effective Time and (ii) if the Tail Insurance is not available, or if the premium payable for the Tail Insurance would exceed 250% of the annual premiums for the Current Insurance and the Parent, after reasonable notice from Company, reasonably determines that Company should not purchase the Tail Insurance, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall provide policies, issued by one or more reputable insurers, which contain substantially similar coverage for six (6) years from the Effective Time with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time (“Alternative Insurance”); provided, however, that if the annual premiums for the Alternative Insurance in any year would exceed 125% of the annual premiums (the “Premium Cap”) for the Current Insurance, the Parent and Surviving Corporation shall obtain the most Alternative Insurance coverage available for such year for a premium equal to the Premium Cap.  If the Tail Insurance is obtained, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policy in full force and effect.

(d)The provisions of this Section 5.6 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, and shall not impair any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract, under the Company Charter Documents, or the comparable organization documents of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, under applicable Law, or otherwise.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 5.6 shall survive the Effective Time and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby indefinitely.  The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.6 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.6 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.6 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.6).  Parent shall ensure that the Surviving Corporation complies with all of its obligations under this Section 5.6 and shall guarantee the obligations under Section 5.6(a) and 5.6(c).

(e)After the Effective Time, in the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and

39

5.15.Tax Compliance.

(a)Income Taxes.  Company will not file prior to Closing any income Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company and its Subsidiaries for the taxable year ended December 31, 2007, which are not required to be filed prior to Closing, taking into account applicable extensions.  No later than August 10, 2008 Company shall prepare and provide to Parent correct and complete drafts of all income Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company and its Subsidiaries for the taxable year ended December 31, 2007 and which are not required to be filed prior to August 15, 2008, taking into account applicable extensions.  If the Company has income Tax Returns required to be filed by it and its Subsidiaries for the taxable year ended December 31, 2007 and such Tax Returns are due to be filed prior to August 15, 2008, taking into account applicable extensions, the Company will deliver correct and complete drafts to Parent at least ten days before the filing deadline for review and comment by Parent.  Company shall consider in good faith any Parent comments delivered within five (5) days of receipt of any such draft Tax Return, and shall timely file such Tax Return.  Company shall timely file all such Tax Returns which are due on or before the Closing Date, in accordance with such drafts and any accepted Parent comments.  Company and Subsidiaries shall also make timely and adequate estimated tax payments for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2008.  Prior to Closing, at Parent’s election, Company and Parent will enter into an agreement that will be effective on Closing to ratably allocate Company and Subsidiaries’ income for 2008 in accordance with Treas.

Reg. sec. 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B), Company and all Persons related to Company under Section 267 of the Code immediately after Parent’s acquisition of Company shall treat the transaction as occurring for all federal income tax

41

purposes at the beginning of the day following the day on which Company becomes a member of Parent’s consolidated group.
