         (a) As a result of the Merger,  the Reporting  Person is the beneficial
owner  of  7,497,838  shares  of  Common  Stock  of  the  Company,  representing
approximately  19.9%  of the  outstanding  Common  Stock  of the  Company.  This

issued in  connection  with the  Merger,  as  disclosed  by the  Company  in its
registration  statement  on  Form  S-4  (Commission  File  No.  333-49568).  The

Item 5, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, none of the parties named
in Item 2 owns any of the Company's Common Stock.

         (b) With respect to the 7,497,838 shares of Common Stock of the Company
beneficially  owned by the Reporting  Person,  the  Reporting  Person shares the
power to vote all of such shares with the Company pursuant to a Stock Rights and
Restrictions  Agreement,  as more fully  described in Item 6 below,  and has the
sole  power to  dispose  of all of such  shares.  With  respect to the shares of
Common Stock of the Company  beneficially  owned by the other  persons  named in
Item 2,  except as set forth in Schedule I, to the  knowledge  of the  Reporting
Person,  each such  person has the sole power to vote all of such shares and the
sole power to dispose of all of such shares.

         Item 1 sets forth the Company's name and state of  incorporation  along
with the address of its principal  business and principal office.  The Company's
principal business is to provide  point-of-care  medication management solutions
designed to meet the needs of physician  practices,  their  patients and managed

five  (5)  years,  the  Company  (i)  has not  been  convicted  in any  criminal
proceeding  (excluding traffic violations or similar  misdemeanors) and (ii) was
not a party  to a civil  proceeding  of a  judicial  or  administrative  body of
competent  jurisdiction  as result of which it was or is subject to a  judgment,
decree  or final  order  enjoining  future  violations  of,  or  prohibiting  or
mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.

         (c) Except as described  above in this Item 5 and in Item 6, which item

ITEM 6.         Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
                Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

       Pursuant to a Stock Rights and Restrictions  Agreement (the "Stock Rights
and Restrictions  Agreement"),  dated as of January 8, 2001, between the Company
and the Reporting Person,  the Reporting Person has complete  discretion to vote
the  shares of Common  Stock of the  Company,  unless  the matter to be voted on
constitutes a business  combination,  involves the acquisition of 50% or more of
the outstanding  stock of the Company,  involves the issuance of Common Stock by
the Company for cash or involves any acquisition by the Company,  in which cases
the Reporting Person has agreed to vote the shares of Common Stock in accordance
with the  recommendation  of the directors of the Company who were  directors of
the Company  prior to January 8, 2001 (or who were  elected by such  directors);
provided,  however,  that the voting  restriction will not apply in any event if
the average  closing price of the Common Stock for the 90 days prior to the date
of such vote is less than  $14.5625 and the  Reporting  Person is not in default
under the Merger Agreement or any agreement executed in connection therewith.

       Also,  pursuant  to the Stock  Rights  and  Restrictions  Agreement,  the
Reporting Person has agreed not to transfer any of the shares of Common Stock of
the Company  without the prior written consent of a majority of the directors of
the Company who were  directors of the Company  prior to January 8, 2001 (or who
were elected by such directors),  except under certain limited circumstances set
forth in the Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement.

       Pursuant to the Stock Rights and Restrictions  Agreement,  so long as the
Reporting  Person owns 25% of the shares of Common Stock of the Company which it
owned  immediately  following the Merger,  the  Reporting  Person is entitled to
designate  one  individual to the  Company's  board of directors.  The Reporting
Person's initial designee to the Company's board is Mr. Richard E. Tarrant.  Mr.
Tarrant  also  executed  the Stock  Rights and  Restrictions  Agreement,  in his
individual  capacity,  for the purpose of agreeing not to transfer any shares of
Common  Stock of the Company  owned by him for a period of six months  following
the effectiveness of the Merger.

       The foregoing description of the Stock Rights and Restrictions  Agreement
is qualified in its entirety by reference to such  agreement,  which is filed as
Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 7.         Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Allscripts  shall provide IDX with 30 days' prior written notice of any intended
mailing of a notice to  stockholders  for a meeting at which directors are to be
elected.  IDX shall give  written  notice to  Allscripts,  no later than 10 days
prior to such mailing,  of the Person  designated  pursuant to Section 2.2(a) as
nominee for election as director.  Allscripts  agrees to nominate and  recommend
for  election  as  director  the  individual  designated,  or to be  designated,
pursuant to Section  2.2(a).  If IDX shall fail to give notice to  Allscripts as
provided  above,  it shall be  deemed  that the IDX  Designee  then  serving  as
director shall be the IDX Designee for election.

(c) Except as otherwise  provided herein,  at all times (i) when there is an IDX
Designee on  Allscripts'  Board of Directors  and IDX and its  Affiliates  shall
Beneficially  Own 5,623,379 or more shares of Common Stock (subject to equitable
adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend,  reverse stock split
or similar event  affecting the  Allscripts  Common Stock after the date of this
Agreement),  and (ii) such designee is R.E.T., the IDX Designee shall be elected
as the sole Vice Chairman of the Allscripts Board of Directors, which shall be a
non-executive position.

(d) In the event that any IDX  Designee  shall cease to serve as a director  for
any reason (other than as set forth in Section  2.2(a)),  the vacancy  resulting
thereby shall be filled by the  remaining  directors of Allscripts in accordance
with its  Certificate of  Incorporation,  Bylaws and applicable law by a new IDX
Designee and such new IDX Designee shall  thereafter  serve until the expiration
of the term of the IDX Designee replaced by such new IDX Designee.

(e)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein, no IDX Designee
may be a  Person  who  previously  has been a  director  of  Allscripts  and was
properly removed for cause from the Board of Directors of Allscripts or a Person
who has been convicted of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude.

                                       8
<PAGE>

(f) The IDX Designee will be furnished with all information  that is provided to
all other directors of Allscripts (in their capacities as such) at the same time
as such information is furnished to such other directors (in their capacities as
such).

(g) IDX shall  cause the IDX  Designee  serving as a director of  Allscripts  to
comply  with the  retirement  policies  of  Allscripts  as in effect on the date
hereof (a copy of which is  attached  as Exhibit A) or as  hereafter  amended or
modified  from  time to time by the  Board of  Directors  of  Allscripts  or its
stockholders;  provided, however, that no such amendment or modification to such
policies  shall be binding upon IDX or the IDX Designee  unless the IDX Designee
shall have voted in favor of such amendment or modification  at the meeting,  or
in the action in lieu of a meeting,  of the Board of Directors of  Allscripts at
or in which it is considered.

(h) IDX shall make the initial IDX  Designee  reasonably  available  for initial
marketing ("road show") efforts  undertaken by Allscripts in connection with the
Merger Agreement and for subsequent meetings with customers of the Channelhealth
business (which shall occur not less frequently than once per month).

2.3      LIMITATION ON ACQUISITION OF ADDITIONAL VOTING SHARES BY IDX.

(a) From and after the date hereof,  IDX shall not acquire any Allscripts Voting
Shares,  other than the IDX Shares  owned by IDX as of the date hereof and after
giving  effect to the  Closing,  (i)  without  the prior  written  consent  of a
majority of the Allscripts  Continuing Directors or (ii) pursuant to Article III
of the Merger Agreement;  provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.3(a)
shall limit IDX's power and right (A) to purchase or acquire  shares as a result
of any stock dividend or stock split,  reclassification of the Allscripts Common
Stock,  or the  exercise  or  conversion  of any  security  received by IDX from
Allscripts in respect of the IDX Shares,  or (B) to acquire shares of Allscripts
Common Stock or any Allscripts  Exchangeable Security pursuant to Section 2.6 or
to convert, exchange or exercise any such Allscripts Exchangeable Security.

(b) From and after the date hereof,  Allscripts shall not acquire any IDX Voting
Shares  without the prior  written  consent of a majority of the IDX  Continuing
Directors;  provided,  however,  that nothing in this Section 2.3(b) shall limit
Allscripts' power and right (i) to purchase or acquire shares as a result of any
stock dividend or stock split,  reclassification of the IDX Common Stock, or the
exercises or  conversion  of any  security  received by  Allscripts  from IDX in

exercise any such IDX Exchangeable Security.

(c) Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event IDX
shall  effect  a sale of any IDX  Shares,  IDX  shall  be  entitled  to  acquire
additional  Voting  Shares,  without the  necessity of obtaining  prior  written
consent,  up to an aggregate amount that would cause IDX to hold the same amount
of Voting  Shares  as IDX held  after  giving  effect  to the  Closing,  and the
obligations  of  Allscripts  set forth in Section  2.2 shall be  reinstated,  if
applicable;  provided,  however,  that (i) IDX may not undertake to acquire such
additional  Voting  Shares  until  the end of the six month  period  immediately

                                       9
<PAGE>

following any such sale,  (ii) in no event will IDX be entitled to reinstate the
obligations of Allscripts set forth in Section 2.2(b) once such  obligations are
terminated and (iii) IDX will be restricted from making any further sales of IDX
Shares  until  the  end of the  thirty  day  period  immediately  following  the
acquisition of any additional Voting Shares pursuant to this Section 2.3(c).

2.4  RESTRICTIONS  ON  TRANSFER.  From and  after  the  date  hereof  until  the
termination of this Agreement,  IDX and its Affiliates shall not sell, transfer,

(d) One or more  Transfers  made as a pro rata dividend or  distribution  to the

agree in writing with  Allscripts  to be bound by the same  restrictions  as IDX
hereunder.

(e)  One  or  more  Transfers  to  any  Person  (other  than  IDX  or any of its
Affiliates)  who shall have  commenced a tender or exchange  offer for shares of
Allscripts Common Stock if, at the time of public  announcement of the tender or
exchange offer:  (i) IDX and its Affiliates  collectively  Beneficially Own less
than 5% of the then outstanding  Allscripts Voting Shares and no IDX Designee is
serving on the  Allscripts  Board of Directors,  or (ii) IDX and its  Affiliates
collectively  Beneficially Own more than 5% of the then  outstanding  Allscripts

</TABLE>


                  *These time  restrictions  and percentages  will also apply to
                  any shares of Allscripts  Common Stock acquired by IDX and its
                  Affiliates  pursuant to Article  III of the Merger  Agreement,
                  which  will  result  in  additional  IDX  Shares  that  can be
                  Transferred based on the percentage  limitations being applied
                  to a greater number of IDX Shares.

In any month, no more than 16.6667% of the IDX Shares eligible to be Transferred
during the then current year may be sold by IDX and its  Affiliates  pursuant to
this Section 2.4(f).  IDX and its Affiliates shall not be permitted to cumulate,
or carry forward for Transfer in subsequent  periods,  either (i) unsold maximum
monthly  eligible  share  Transfer  amounts  from  month  to  month  during  any
particular  year or (ii) unsold maximum annual  eligible share Transfer  amounts
from year to year.

(g) Subject to Section  2.4(f),  one or more  Transfers in accordance  with Rule
144;  provided,  however,  that no Transfers shall be permitted pursuant to Rule
144 except through one of the market makers in  Allscripts'  Common Stock listed
on Schedule II or as otherwise previously approved in writing by Allscripts.

(h) (i) During each of the periods (A) from and after the first  anniversary  of
the date hereof  through the second  anniversary of the date hereof and (B) from
and  after  the  third  anniversary  of  the  date  hereof  through  the  fourth
anniversary  of the date hereof,  IDX may deliver a written notice to Allscripts
that IDX desires to Transfer in a single  transaction  either 50% or 100% of the
maximum  aggregate  number  of its IDX  Shares  that it  would be  permitted  to
Transfer in that period,  which notice (the "Notice of Proposed  Transfer") must
set forth (A) the  number of IDX Shares  that IDX  desires  to  Transfer  (which
number must equal either 50% or 100% of the maximum  aggregate  number of shares
that it would be  permitted  to  Transfer  in that  period) and (B) the price at
which IDX would be willing to Transfer  such shares (the  "Target  Price").  The
Notice of Proposed  Transfer  shall  constitute an offer by IDX,  which shall be
irrevocable  for a  period  of 10  days  following  receipt  of such  notice  by
Allscripts, to permit Allscripts to arrange for the purchase of such shares by a
purchaser  selected by Allscripts in its sole discretion for cash at a price per
share equal to the average of the Per Share  Market Value of such shares for the
five Trading Days immediately preceding (and excluding) the date that Allscripts
delivers  a written  notice to IDX (the  "Notice  of  Arranged  Transfer")  that
Allscripts  has arranged for such  purchase at such price per share (the "Market
Price"); provided, however, that IDX shall have no obligation to Transfer any of

                                       11
<PAGE>

its IDX Shares to the  proposed  purchaser if the  proposed  purchase  price per
share does not equal at least 90% of the Target Price.

(ii) The  consummation of such purchase shall take place on such date, not later
than 10 days  after  receipt  of the  Notice of  Arranged  Transfer  by IDX,  as
Allscripts and IDX shall select. Upon the consummation of such purchase, (A) IDX
shall  deliver the  certificate  or  certificates  evidencing  the IDX Shares so
purchased  duly  endorsed  in blank  for  transfer  or  accompanied  by  written
instruments of transfer in form  satisfactory  to the purchaser duly executed by
IDX, free and clear of any liens,  encumbrances and claims and (B) the purchaser
shall  simultaneously  with the  delivery  of the  certificate  or  certificates
evidencing the IDX Shares so purchased pay to IDX the aggregate  Market Price of
such shares.

(iii)  Allscripts  shall  have no  obligation  to  deliver a Notice of  Arranged
Transfer in response to any Notice of Proposed  Transfer  delivered  by IDX, and
the decision as to whether to deliver any Notice of Arranged  Transfer  shall be
made by  Allscripts  in the exercise of its sole  discretion.  In the event that
Allscripts shall have received a Notice of Proposed  Transfer from IDX but shall
not have given a Notice of Arranged  Transfer to IDX with respect  thereto prior
to the  expiration  of the 10-day  period  following  receipt of such  Notice of
Proposed  Transfer,  nothing in this Section 2.4(h) shall limit the right of IDX
to Transfer any IDX Shares that are not to be purchased  pursuant to a Notice of
Arranged  Transfer,  but otherwise  subject to and in accordance  with the time,
percentage and other restrictions set forth in Section 2.4(f).

(i) (i) From and after the fifth anniversary of the date hereof,  IDX agrees not
to effect  any  Transfer  of IDX Shares in any single  transaction  involving  a
number of such  shares  representing  in excess of 2.5% of the then  issued  and
outstanding  shares of  Allscripts  Common Stock unless and until IDX delivers a
written  notice to Allscripts  that IDX intends to effect such  Transfer,  which
notice (a  "Notice  of Block  Transfer")  must set  forth (A) the  number of IDX
Shares that IDX  desires to  Transfer,  or maximum  and minimum  number of, such
shares  and (B) the price per share at which IDX would be  willing  to  Transfer
such  shares  (the  "Specified  Price").  The  Notice  of Block  Transfer  shall
constitute an offer by IDX, which shall be  irrevocable  for a period of 10 days
following receipt of such notice by Allscripts,  to permit Allscripts to arrange
for the purchase of the maximum  number (but not fewer than the minimum  number)
of such shares by a purchaser  selected by Allscripts in its sole discretion for
cash at a price per share equal to the average of the Per Share  Market Value of
such shares for the five Trading Days immediately  preceding (and excluding) the
date that  Allscripts  delivers  a written  notice to IDX (the  "Notice of Block
Purchase")  that  Allscripts  has arranged  for such  purchase at such price per
share  (the  "Current  Price");  provided,  however,  that  IDX  shall  have  no
obligation  to Transfer any of its IDX Shares to the  proposed  purchaser if the
Current Price does not equal at least 90% of the Specified  Price offered in the
Notice of Block Transfer.

(ii) The  consummation of such purchase shall take place on such date, not later
than  10  days  after  receipt  of the  Notice  of  Block  Purchase  by IDX , as
Allscripts and IDX shall select. Upon the consummation of such purchase, (A) IDX
shall  deliver the  certificate  or  certificates  evidencing  the IDX Shares so
purchased  duly  endorsed  in blank  for  transfer  or  accompanied  by  written
instruments of transfer in form  satisfactory  to the purchaser duly executed by
IDX, free and clear of any liens,  encumbrances and claims and (B) the purchaser

                                       12
<PAGE>

shall  simultaneously  with the  delivery  of the  certificate  or  certificates
evidencing the IDX Shares so purchased pay to IDX the aggregate Current Price of
such shares.

(iii)  Allscripts shall have no obligation to deliver a Notice of Block Purchase
in response to any Notice of Block  Transfer  delivered by IDX, and the decision
as to  whether  to  deliver  any  Notice  of  Block  Purchase  shall  be made by
Allscripts in the exercise of its sole discretion.  In the event that Allscripts
shall have received a Notice of Block Transfer from IDX but shall not have given
a Notice of Block  Purchase to IDX with respect  thereto prior to the expiration
of the 10-day period following receipt of such Notice of Block Transfer, nothing
in this  Section  2.4(i) shall limit the right of IDX to Transfer any IDX Shares
that are not to be purchased pursuant to a Notice of Block Purchase.

(j) (i)  During  the  period  from and after the third  anniversary  of the date
hereof through the fourth anniversary of the date hereof, if Allscripts proposes
to file a  registration  statement  under the  Securities  Act with respect to a
primary firm commitment  underwritten public offering of Allscripts Common Stock
(a  "Piggyback  Registration"),  it shall give written  notice of such  proposed
filing to IDX as soon as practicable,  but in no event fewer than 20 days before
the anticipated  filing date.  Allscripts shall include in such registration all
IDX Shares with respect to which  Allscripts has received a written  request for
inclusion  within 10 days after the giving of  Allscripts'  notice (a "Piggyback
Registration  Request");  provided,  however,  that  Allscripts  may in its sole
discretion  restrict the number of IDX Shares so requested  for inclusion to the
maximum  aggregate  number of such shares that IDX would be permitted to sell in
such period  after the date that  Allscripts  gives  notice of its  intention to
effect a Piggyback Registration.

(ii) If the managing underwriters of the Piggyback Registration advise IDX that,
in their  opinion,  the  number  of  shares  requested  to be  included  in such
registration  exceeds the maximum  number that can be included in such  offering
without  adversely  affecting  the  marketability  of the offering (the "Maximum
Number"),  IDX will limit the number of shares included in such  registration to
the Maximum Number, and the shares registered shall be selected in the following
order of priority:  (A) first, the shares of Allscripts  Common Stock Allscripts
proposes to Transfer,  and (B) second,  the IDX Shares  covered by the Piggyback
Registration  Request  and  other  shares  requested  to  be  included  in  such
registration based upon rights under agreements  outstanding on the date hereof;
provided,  however,  that if shares of Common  Stock are being  offered  for the
account of Persons  other than IDX,  the  proportion  by which the amount of IDX
Shares intended to be offered for the account of IDX is reduced shall not exceed
the proportion by which the amount of shares of Allscripts Common Stock intended
to be offered for the account of such other Persons is reduced.

(iii) IDX may not participate in any Piggyback Registration unless it (A) agrees
to sell its  shares of  Allscripts  Common  Stock on the basis  provided  in any
underwriting arrangements approved by Allscripts, (B) completes and executes all
questionnaires,   powers  of  attorney,   custody   arrangements,   indemnities,
underwriting  agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms
of such  underwriting  arrangements  and this  Agreement,  and (C)  furnishes in
writing to Allscripts such  information  regarding IDX and other  information as
Allscripts  may from  time to time  request  or as may be  legally  required  in
connection  with such  registration;  provided,  however,  that IDX shall not be
required to make any  representations  or warranties in connection with any such

                                       13
<PAGE>

registration other than  representations  and warranties as to (x) its ownership
of its IDX Shares to be  Transferred  free and clear of all liens,  encumbrances
and claims, (y) IDX's power and authority to effect such Transfer,  and (z) such
matters  pertaining  to  compliance  with  securities  laws as may be reasonably
requested;  provided further,  however,  that the obligation of IDX to indemnify
pursuant to any such  underwriting  agreements  shall be several,  not joint and
several, among such Persons selling securities, and the liability of IDX will be
in proportion  to, and provided  further that such liability will be limited to,
the net amount  received by IDX from the sale of the IDX Shares pursuant to such
registration.

(iv) In connection with any Piggyback  Registration,  Allscripts will enter into
such  agreements  (including  an  underwriting  agreement)  as are  customary in
transactions  of the kind  contemplated  by the  intended  method or  methods of
distribution  set forth in the Piggyback  Registration  Statement and reasonably
acceptable  to  Allscripts,  and  take  such  other  actions  as are  reasonably
necessary  in  connection  therewith  in order to  expedite  or  facilitate  the
Piggyback  Registration;  and (A) make such  representations and warranties with
respect to the Piggyback Registration Statement or any post-effective  amendment
or supplement thereto,  prospectus or any amendment or supplement  thereto,  and
documents incorporated by reference,  if any, to IDX and the underwriters of the
Piggyback  Registration  in  form,  substance,  and  scope as are  customary  in
connection  with  transactions  of such kind;  (B) if  requested by the managing
underwriters of the Piggyback Registration, obtain an opinion of outside counsel
to Allscripts  in customary  form and covering  matters of the type  customarily
covered  by  such  an  opinion,  addressed  to such  underwriters  named  in the
underwriting  agreement  and  dated the date of the  closing  of the sale of the
shares covered by the Piggyback Registration Statement;  (C) if requested by the
managing underwriters of the Piggyback  Registration,  obtain a "comfort" letter
(or, if a "comfort"  letter may not be  delivered  under  applicable  accounting
pronouncements or standards,  a single "procedures"  letter) and a single update
thereof  from each of the  independent  certified  public  accountants  who have
certified the most recent audited financial  statements that are incorporated by
reference  in the  Piggyback  Registration  Statement,  which  letters  shall be
addressed to the  underwriters  of the  Piggyback  Registration,  such letter or
letters  to be  in  customary  form  and  covering  such  matters  of  the  type
customarily  covered  by  "comfort"  letters  of such  type;  (D)  deliver  such
documents  and  certificates  as may be  reasonably  requested  by IDX  and  the
underwriters  of the  Piggyback  Registration  to evidence  compliance  with any
conditions  contained in the underwriting  agreement or other agreements entered
into by  Allscripts;  and (E)  undertake  such  obligations  relating to expense
reimbursement  as  provided  in  Section  2.4(j)(v)  and   indemnification   and
contribution  obligations  for  the  benefit  of  IDX of  the  type  customarily
undertaken by issuers in connection with "piggyback" registrations.

(v) In connection with any Piggyback Registration, Allscripts agrees to bear and
to pay, or cause to be paid,  promptly  upon request  being made  therefor,  all

Agreement,  IDX and its Affiliates  shall be entitled to vote on all matters all
of its or their IDX Shares in its or their complete discretion.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing,  IDX and its Affiliates  shall vote all such shares in accordance
with the recommendation of the majority of the Allscripts  Continuing  Directors
on  any  matter  that  (i)  constitutes  an  Allscripts   Business   Combination
Transaction,  (ii) would involve a change of control of Allscripts (for purposes
of this section a change in control shall mean the acquisition by a Person other
than IDX or its Affiliates of Beneficial  Ownership of more than 50% of the then
outstanding Allscripts Voting Shares), (iii) involves the issuance by Allscripts
of securities for its own account for cash, or (iv) involves any  acquisition by

Common Stock for the 90 Trading Days  immediately  preceding (and excluding) the
date on which the matter is voted  upon is less than  $14.5625  per share  (such
amount to be  appropriately  adjusted  to give effect to stock  splits,  reverse
splits,  stock dividends,  reclassifications  and share exchanges since the date
hereof) and (B) there shall exist no  continuing  and uncured  default by IDX of
any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Strategic

2.6      RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CERTAIN ISSUANCES BY ALLSCRIPTS.

(a) If, when, and for so long as, IDX and its Affiliates Beneficially Own shares
of  Allscripts  Common Stock that would  constitute,  after giving effect to the
proposed transaction (but not prior to the proposed transaction),  less than the
Applicable Percentage of the then outstanding shares of Allscripts Common Stock,
Allscripts  shall  not  issue  any  shares  of  Allscripts  Common  Stock or any
Allscripts  Exchangeable  Securities,  for any  consideration  or in any type of
transaction, unless Allscripts shall have first complied with, in the case of an
issuance  other than pursuant to a Public  Offering,  the  provisions of Section
2.6(b) or, in the case of a Public Offering, the provisions of Section 2.6(c).

(b) If Allscripts  determines to issue any shares of Allscripts  Common Stock or
any Allscripts  Exchangeable  Security,  other than in a Public  Offering,  then
Allscripts  shall provide  written  notice of such  determination  to IDX, which
notice shall  include all the terms of such  issuance and shall offer to IDX the
right  to  purchase,  at the same  price  and on the  same  terms as  Allscripts
proposes  to  issue  such  shares  of  Allscripts  Common  Stock  or  Allscripts
Exchangeable Security to others (or, if Allscripts proposes to issue such shares
of Allscripts  Common Stock or any Allscripts  Exchangeable  Security other than
for cash,  at a cash price equal to the current  market price of the  Allscripts
Common  Stock  or if an  Allscripts  Exchangeable  Security,  such  value  to be
determined by agreement between  Allscripts or IDX, or if the parties are unable
to  agree,  by an  investment  banking  firm or other  asset  valuation  firm of
national  reputation  selected by IDX from  Schedule I attached  hereto (as such
Schedule I may be amended in writing  from time to time by both  Allscripts  and
IDX) with the  consent of a majority  of the  Allscripts  Continuing  Directors,
which consent  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  the cost of which shall be
borne by Allscripts) a number or amount of the shares of Allscripts Common Stock
or  Allscripts  Exchangeable  Securities  proposed  to be issued  determined  by
dividing the aggregate number of outstanding  shares of Allscripts  Common Stock
then  Beneficially  Owned by IDX by the total  number  of  shares of  Allscripts
Common Stock then outstanding (the "Offer Notice").  If IDX determines to accept
the offer  contained in the Offer Notice,  IDX shall deliver a written notice to
Allscripts  indicating  its  acceptance  within 10 days after its receipt of the
Offer Notice, which notice shall indicate whether IDX has accepted such offer in
whole or in part,  and, if  accepted in part,  the number or amount of shares of
Allscripts Common Stock or Allscripts  Exchangeable  Securities as to which such
offer has been accepted (an  "Acceptance  Notice").  Any acceptance of the offer
contained  in an Offer  Notice by  delivery  of an  Acceptance  Notice  shall be
irrevocable  and  shall   constitute  a  commitment  by  IDX  to  purchase  from
Allscripts,  and by Allscripts to sell to IDX, the number or amount of shares of
Allscripts Common Stock or Allscripts  Exchangeable  Securities  covered by such
Acceptance Notice upon the terms contained in the Offer Notice.

1.       If at any time and from time to time, (i) Allscripts determines to
issue any Allscripts Voting Shares or any Allscripts  Exchangeable Security in a
Public  Offering,  and (ii) as a result  thereof  IDX and its  Affiliates  would
Beneficially  Own  less  than  the  Applicable  Percentage  of  the  then  to be
outstanding  Allscripts Voting Shares, then (A) Allscripts shall provide written
notice of such  determination  to IDX,  which notice shall  include the proposed
size and other terms of such  issuance,  to the extent  then known,  the name or
names of any managing  underwriter or placement agent(s) and the date when it is
proposed that any such issuance will be made,  and (B)  Allscripts  shall either
sell directly or cause the  underwriters  or placement  agent(s) to offer to IDX

                                       16
<PAGE>

the right to  purchase  from  Allscripts  directly or from the  underwriters  or
placement agent(s),  at the applicable offering price, a number or amount of the
Allscripts Voting Shares, Allscripts Exchangeable Securities or other securities
proposed  to be issued  that,  if  purchased  by IDX,  would  permit IDX and its
Affiliates to Beneficially Own a number of Voting Shares  determined by dividing
the  aggregate  number of  outstanding  shares of  Allscripts  Common Stock then
Beneficially  Owned by IDX by the total  number of shares of  Allscripts  Common
Stock then outstanding.

3.       RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.   From and after the date of Closing and
until the expiration of the six month period following the Closing, R.E.T. shall
not  Transfer  any shares of Common Stock  Beneficially  Owned by R.E.T.  in his
individual  capacity,  unless and until such time as Glen E. Tullman  ("G.E.T.")
shall Transfer any shares of Common Stock  Beneficially  Owned by G.E.T.  in his
individual capacity.
4.       STOCK CERTIFICATES AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS.

of this Agreement in accordance with its terms) or if the securities represented

Allscripts  shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel,  which opinion
shall be reasonably  satisfactory to counsel for Allscripts,  that  registration
under the Securities Act is not required,  as the case may be, then, in any such
event,  upon the  request of IDX,  Allscripts  shall cause such  certificate  or

any legend.
