a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which such
person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer
of the Registrant or any of its affiliates. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain
procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder. At present, no
litigation or proceeding is pending that involves a director or officer of the company regarding
which indemnification is sought, nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may
result in claims for indemnification.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant maintains a directors&#146; and officers&#146; insurance and company reimbursement
policy. The policy insures directors and officers against unindemnified losses arising from certain
wrongful acts in their capacities as directors and officers and reimburses the Registrant for those
losses for which the Registrant has lawfully indemnified the directors and officers. The policy
contains various exclusions, none of which apply to this offering. One of the Registrant&#146;s
directors is also insured against certain losses or liabilities that he may incur in his capacity
as a director under an insurance policy maintained by a third party.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:




<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">(a)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">(b)&nbsp;To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
a 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
&#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective Registration Statement; and



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">(c)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt"><I>provided, however, </I>that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and
is, therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(representing the maximum number of shares that may be reserved for issuance under such plan over its 10-year term,
pursuant to four years of annual increases in the number of shares
reserved for issuance under such plan - the
number of shares reserved for issuance is initially 3,250,000 and will automatically increase on an annual basis by
the lesser of (a) 650,000 or (b) the number of shares subject to awards granted in the prior calendar year and
23,111 shares subject to options surrendered by optionholders under the Emageon, Inc. 2000 Equity Compensation Plan
which are issuable under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan); 500,000 shares issuable under the Emageon Inc. 2005

Compensation Plan; 133,328 shares issuable under the Imageon Solutions, Inc. 2000 Equity Incentive Plan; and 18,787

extent that any currently outstanding options granted under the Emageon, Inc. 2000 Equity Compensation Plan or
the Imageon Solutions, Inc. 2000 Equity Incentive Plan are terminated, forfeited or lapse prior to exercise,
the shares underlying such options shall become issuable under the Emageon Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan
and the maximum number of shares issuable under the Emageon Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan shall be
increased by the number of such shares. Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
this Registration Statement also covers any additional number of shares as may be available under the Plans in the
event of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar change to the Common Stock.
(2) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h). The price per
share and aggregate offering price are calculated based on the basis of (a) $4.79, the weighted average exercise
price of the 2,157,869 shares subject to outstanding grants under the Emageon, Inc. 2000 Equity Compensation Plan,
(b) $2.53, the weighted average exercise price of the 133,328 shares subject to outstanding grants under the
Imageon Solutions, Inc. 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, (c) $4.70, the weighted average exercise price of the 18,787
shares subject to outstanding grants under the Ultravisual Medical Systems Corporation 2000 Stock Option Plan, (d)
$14.90, the weighted average exercise price of the 14,000 shares subject to outstanding grants under the Emageon
Inc. 2005 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan, and (e) $15.48, the average of the high and low prices of the
Company's shares as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on May 12, 2005, a date within 5 business days prior to
the filing of this registration statement, for the 6,359,111 shares issuable under the Emageon Inc. 2005 Equity
Incentive Plan and the Emageon Inc. 2005 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan which are not subject to

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the obligations being registered hereby
will be passed on for the Registrant by Kilpatrick Stockton LLP.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's
amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes a provision eliminating the personal
liability of a director to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, provided, however, that such provision shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant
or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, which relates to unlawful payment of dividends and unlawful stock purchases and
redemptions or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Registrant shall
indemnify any director or officer of the company who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or
Table of Contents
investigative by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The Registrant has entered into agreements with its directors and executive officers that
require the Registrant to indemnify such persons against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements,
and other amounts that any such person becomes legally obligated to pay (including with respect to
a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which such
person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer
of the Registrant or any of its affiliates. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain
procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder. At present, no
litigation or proceeding is pending that involves a director or officer of the company regarding
which indemnification is sought, nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may
result in claims for indemnification.
The Registrant maintains a directors' and officers' insurance and company reimbursement
policy. The policy insures directors and officers against unindemnified losses arising from certain
wrongful acts in their capacities as directors and officers and reimburses the Registrant for those
losses for which the Registrant has lawfully indemnified the directors and officers. The policy
contains various exclusions, none of which apply to this offering. One of the Registrant's
directors is also insured against certain losses or liabilities that he may incur in his capacity
as a director under an insurance policy maintained by a third party.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
Table of Contents
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and
is, therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
