Equity Commitment Letter, dated as of August 3, 2011

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) sets forth the commitment of Blackstone Capital Partners, VI L.P. (“Sponsor”), on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, to purchase, or cause the purchase of, the equity of Beagle Parent Corp., a newly formed Delaware corporation (“Parent”). It is contemplated that, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) entered into concurrently herewith by and among Emdeon Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Parent and Beagle Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving entity of such Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Each capitalized term used and not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Merger Agreement, except as otherwise provided.

1. Commitment. Sponsor hereby commits, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, to purchase, or cause the purchase of, the equity of Parent for an aggregate purchase price of $870,000,000 in cash in immediately available funds (the “Commitment”), for the purpose of allowing Parent to consummate the Merger and fund a portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration required to be paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement; provided that Sponsor shall not, under any circumstances, be obligated to contribute more than the Commitment to Parent. Sponsor may effect the purchase of the equity of Parent directly or indirectly through one or more affiliated entities or other designated co-investors; provided that no such action shall reduce the amount of the Commitment or otherwise affect the obligations of Sponsor under this Agreement or prevent or materially impair or delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In the event Parent does not require all of the equity with respect to which the Sponsor has made commitments in order to consummate the Merger, the amount to be funded under this Agreement

may be reduced, in a manner determined by Sponsor (but subject to the proviso in the foregoing sentence), to the extent not required by Parent to consummate the Merger.

2. Conditions. The obligation of Sponsor to fund or cause the funding of the Commitment shall be subject only to (i) the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by the Company, (ii) the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Merger Agreement (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing (but subject to their satisfaction at the Closing) or the failure of which to be satisfied is attributable primarily to any breach by Parent or Merger Sub of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement), (iii) the Debt Financing has been funded or would be funded at the date the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Merger Agreement if the Equity Financing and the Rollover Investment were consummated at such date and (iv) the concurrent consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

3. Limited Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Sponsor is executing and delivering to the Company a limited guarantee, dated as of the date hereof (the “Limited Guarantee”). The Company’s remedies against Sponsor under the Limited Guarantee shall, and are intended to be, the sole and exclusive direct or indirect remedies available against Sponsor (except as expressly set forth in Section 4 hereof), and no Person shall have, and no Person is intended to have, any right of recovery against Sponsor or any Non-Recourse Party (as defined in the Limited Guarantee) in respect of any liabilities or obligations arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the negotiation hereof or thereof, including in the event Parent or Merger Sub breaches its obligations under the Merger Agreement and whether or not Parent or Merger Sub’s breach is caused by Sponsor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, except for claims against Sponsor pursuant to the Limited Guarantee.

(a) This Agreement may only be enforced by Parent at the direction of Sponsor; provided, however, that if the Company is granted specific performance in accordance with Section 8.15 of the Merger Agreement to cause the Commitment to be funded, Parent shall be entitled enforce its rights under and in accordance with Section 1 of this Agreement, to cause the Commitment to be funded hereunder, without the direction of Sponsor. The Company is hereby made a third party beneficiary of the rights granted to Parent under this Section 4; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the Company shall not be entitled to specific performance of the Commitment unless the Company is granted specific performance in accordance with Section 8.15 of the Merger Agreement to cause the Commitment to be funded. The Company agrees to comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Neither Parent’s nor the Company’s (nor any of the Company’s Affiliates’) creditors shall have any right to enforce this letter or to cause Parent to enforce this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement is being entered into by Sponsor and Parent to induce the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement. Each of Sponsor and Parent recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Agreement will cause the Company to sustain irreparable harm for which the Company would not have an adequate remedy at law,

and therefore in the event of any such breach the Company shall, without the posting of bond or other security (any requirement for which each of Sponsor and Parent hereby waives), be entitled to the remedy of specific performance. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that the Company shall have the right to cause the Commitment to be funded hereunder only if the Company is entitled to specific performance in accordance with Section 8.15 of the Merger Agreement to cause the Commitment to be funded.

5. No Modification; Entire Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified, and the terms of this Agreement may not be waived, without the prior written consent of Parent and Sponsor and, in the case of any amendment, modification or waiver adverse to the Company, the Company. Together with the Limited Guarantee, this Agreement constitutes the sole agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and statements, written or oral, between or among Sponsor or any of its Affiliates, Parent or any of its Affiliates, and the Company or any of its Affiliates, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the Merger Agreement and the other agreements expressly referred to herein or therein as being entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement). No assignment or other transfer of any rights or obligations hereunder shall be permitted without the consent of Sponsor and Parent and the Company; provided, that Sponsor shall be entitled to assign or transfer all or a portion of its obligations hereunder to one or more Person(s) that agree to assume Sponsor’s obligations hereunder; provided, further, such assignment or transfer shall not relieve Sponsor of any of its obligations hereunder. Any assignment or transfer in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null and void.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of such state or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New York.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF (I) THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND (II) THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN (I) THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR (II) THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT SUCH SUIT OR PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT A FINAL AND UNAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING SO BROUGHT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT IN ANY JURISDICTION WITHIN OR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED IN LAW OR IN EQUITY.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.
