Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 15, 2008, Eclipsys Corporation (the "Company") entered into an arrangement with Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("GS"), pursuant to which the Company received $45 million in exchange for a transfer to GS of Auction Rate Securities owned by the Company and maintained in an investment account with GS, with a nominal value of $90 million in the aggregate (the "ARS"). The Company is obligated to repay GS and GS is obligated to transfer the ARS back to the Company on May 15, 2008, subject to earlier transfer back to the Company at the Company’s discretion (the "Repayment Date"). The arrangement has been amended to permit the Company to extend the Repayment Date to August 15, 2008 if not in default under the arrangement on May 15, subject to compliance with the margin requirement described below. The repayment obligation includes the original $45 million with interest payable monthly at a rate measured at 3 month LIBOR plus 1.5% through May 15, 2008, increasing to 3 month LIBOR plus 3.5% if the Repayment Date extends beyond May 15, 2008 (collectively and net of any cash payments made, the "Repayment Amount"). If the market value (as determined by GS in its reasonable discretion) of the ARS falls below 140% of the Repayment Amount, the Company may be required immediately to transfer to GS additional cash or securities such that the total value of the ARS and all additional transferred cash and securities (as determined by GS in its reasonable discretion) would be at least 150% of the Repayment Amount, and thereafter to maintain that 150% margin until the Repayment Date, provided that the Company may not extend the Repayment Date to August 15, 2008 as described above if the market value of the ARS and all additional transferred cash and securities is not at least 176% of the Repayment Amount on May 15, 2008. Any such additional cash and securities would be transferred back to the Company, along with the ARS, for the Repayment Amount on the Repayment Date. If the Company were to fail to meet these margin requirements, then GS would be entitled to accelerate the Company’s obligations under the arrangement and to liquidate the ARS and any other transferred securities to satisfy the Company’s obligations if unfulfilled. The agreement provides that in such a case the Company would remain liable for any shortfall between the proceeds of the liquidated ARS and any other transferred securities and the aggregate obligation. The Company retains interest income on the ARS during the term of the arrangement. GS provides various banking and treasury services to the Company.

Due to disruption in the auction market for these securities, the Company determined that it would be appropriate to enter into this arrangement to ensure adequate short-term liquidity. The Company intends to replace this short-term arrangement with proceeds from a longer-term commercial credit facility, or sale of ARS, or both. In the meantime, the Company has confidence in the quality of its ARS investments (which consist primarily of AAA rated notes backed by insured student loans), and believes that its cash balances provide ample working capital to conduct its business.
