Accounting Firm determines Eclipsys to be correct in its
determination, in the aggregate, of the Closing Date Net Working
Capital, the Closing Date Cash and the Closing Date Debt, and
Eclipsys paying the entire amount of the expenses of the Unrelated
Accounting Firm if the Unrelated Accounting Firm determines the
