<PAGE>

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt,
sufficiency and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

     1.  Agreement to Vote Shares.  The Stockholder agrees during the term of
this Agreement to vote, and to cause its Affiliates to vote, the Proxy Shares,
in person or by proxy (or by written consent if action is taken by written
consent) in favor of (i) the issuance of the ChannelHealth Merger Shares and the
Allscripts Merger Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (ii) approval and
adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the ChannelHealth Merger
and the Allscripts Merger at any meeting of the Stockholders of the Company (or
any written action in lieu of a meeting) at which such matters are considered
and at every adjournment thereof.  The Stockholder agrees, not to, and not to
permit any of its Affiliates to, vote or execute any written consent in lieu of
a stockholders meeting or vote of the Company, if such consent or vote by the
stockholders of the Company would be inconsistent with or frustrate the purposes
of the other agreements of the Stockholder pursuant to this paragraph.

     2.  Irrevocable Proxy.  The Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints
ChannelHealth, with full power of substitution, as the Stockholder's attorney
and proxy to attend any meeting of Stockholders of the Company or Newco (and any
adjournment or adjournments thereof) called for the purpose of approving the
issuance of the ChannelHealth Merger Shares and the Allscripts Merger Shares and
approving and adopting, among other purposes, the Merger Agreement and the
ChannelHealth Merger and the Allscripts Merger and to vote such Stockholder's
Proxy Shares at such meeting and at any adjournment or adjournments thereof in
favor of the approval of the issuance of the ChannelHealth Merger Shares and the
Allscripts Merger Shares and in favor of the Merger Agreement and the
ChannelHealth Merger and the Allscripts Merger.  This proxy is coupled with the
interests provided for or contemplated under this Agreement and the Merger
Agreement and shall be irrevocable until terminated in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6 hereof.

     3.  No Voting Trusts.  The Stockholder agrees that the Stockholder will
not, nor will the Stockholder permit any entity under the Stockholder's control
to, deposit any of the Proxy Shares in a voting trust or subject any of the
Proxy Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Proxy Shares
inconsistent with this Agreement.

     4.  Revocation of Prior Proxies; Limitation on Dispositions and Proxies.
The Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies with respect to the
Proxy Shares or any other voting securities of the Company that relate to the
approval of the Merger Agreement.  During the term of this Agreement, the
Stockholder agrees not to grant any proxies with respect to (except for this
Proxy or a proxy which is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement) any
of the Proxy Shares.

     5.  Specific Performance.  Each party hereto acknowledges that it will be
impossible to measure in money the damages to the other party if a party hereto
fails to comply with the obligations imposed by this Agreement, and that, in the
event of any such failure, the other party will not have an adequate remedy at
law or in damages.  Accordingly, each party hereto agrees that injunctive relief
or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is the
appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of such
relief on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law.  Each
party hereto agrees that it will not

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing, or posting of a
bond in connection with any other party's seeking or obtaining such equitable
relief.

     6.  Term of Agreement; Termination.  Subject to Section 10(e), the term of
this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and such term and this
Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time,
or (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with
its terms.  Upon such termination, no party shall have any further obligations
or liabilities hereunder; provided, that such termination shall not relieve any
party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.
