This excerpt taken from the CVS 8-K filed Nov 2, 2006. . Certain Filings. (a) As soon as practicable (but in no event later than 45 days after the date of this Agreement) following
the date of this Agreement, CVS and Caremark shall jointly prepare and file with the SEC the Joint Proxy Statement, and CVS and Caremark jointly shall prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement (in which the Joint Proxy Statement will
be included). Each of CVS and Caremark shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the Joint Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC and the Registration Statement declared effective under the 1933 Act as promptly as practicable after the
filing thereof and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger.
(b) Each of Caremark and CVS shall provide the other parties and their respective counsel with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that such party or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Joint Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement, as applicable, promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response to those comments. (c) No amendment or supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement will be made by CVS or Caremark without the approval of the other parties hereto, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each party will advise the other parties, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any 51 supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of CVS Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any request by the SEC for amendment of the Joint Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement. If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, CVS or Caremark discovers any information relating to any party, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement, so that none of those documents would include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements in any such document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers that information shall promptly notify the other party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing that information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by law or regulation, disseminated to the stockholders of CVS and Caremark. (d) CVS and Caremark shall cooperate with one another in (i) determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) seeking any of those actions, consents, approvals or waivers or making any of those filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking promptly to obtain any of those actions, consents, approvals or waivers and (iii) setting a mutually acceptable date for CVS Stockholder Meeting and Caremark Stockholder Meeting, so as to enable them to occur, to the extent practicable, on the same date. Each party shall permit the other party to review any communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, any Governmental Authority and to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Authority, give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in those meetings and conferences, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
