EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-196442) of Express Scripts Holding Company (the Company) and its subsidiary guarantor registrants as amended, (the Registration Statement) is being filed for the purpose of adding Strategic Pharmaceutical Investments, LLC and L&C Investment, LLC, both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (together, the New Guarantors), as co-registrants under the Registration Statement and to add the guarantees of debt securities of the Company by the New Guarantors to the securities registered under the Registration Statement.

** | Deferred in accordance with Rule 456(b) and Rule 457(r) under the Securities Act. |
Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company is a Delaware corporation. Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the DGCL), which enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for violations of the directors fiduciary duty, except:
| for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; |
| for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions); or |
| for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. |
Reference is also made to Section 145 of the DGCL, which provides that a corporation may indemnify any persons, including officers and directors, who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the persons conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits
II-1
or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses that such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred. The indemnification permitted under the DGCL is not exclusive, and a corporation is empowered to purchase and maintain insurance against liabilities whether or not indemnification would be permitted by statute.
The Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended) provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, as the same may be amended, a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of any fiduciary duty as a director.
The Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended) and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for indemnification of its directors and officers to the fullest extent currently permitted by the DGCL. We also have indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. In addition, the Company maintains liability insurance for its directors and officers.
Item 16. Exhibits.
The Exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Index to Exhibits on page II-26 and are incorporated by reference herein.
Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:
(A)(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) 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% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) 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 (A)(1)(i), (A)(1)(ii) and (A)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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. |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
II-2
A. Each prospectus filed by a registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
B. Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
(5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of a registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, each undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of an undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, each undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of an undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of an undersigned registrant or used or referred to by an undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about an undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of an undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by an undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(B) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of any registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.
(C) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of each registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 that registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in expression with the securities being registered, 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.

Re: Express Scripts Holding Company

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Express Scripts Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (the Company), in connection with the registration statement on Form S-3 filed on June 2, 2014 (the Initial Registration Statement) as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto to be filed on the date hereof (the Amendment and, together with the Initial Registration Statement, the Registration Statement) by the Company and the Guarantors listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the Guarantors) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance and sale by the Company from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act (the Rules and Regulations), of: (i) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (Common Stock), (ii) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (Preferred Stock), which may be issued in one or more series, (iii) debt securities of the Company (Debt Securities), which may be issued in one or more series under the indenture, dated as of November 21, 2011 (the Indenture), between the Company, certain subsidiaries of Company party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the Trustee), which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, (iv) warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock or Debt Securities (Warrants), which may be issued pursuant to one or more warrant agreements (each, a Warrant Agreement) proposed to be entered into by the Company and one or more warrant agents to be named therein, (v) subscription rights to purchase shares of Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock, Debt Securities or other securities (Subscription Rights), which may be issued under one or more subscription rights certificates (each, a Subscription Rights Certificate) and/or pursuant to one or more subscription rights agreements (each, a Subscription Rights Agreement) proposed to be entered into by the Company and one or more subscription agents to be named therein, (vi) purchase contracts (Purchase Contracts) obligating the holders thereof to purchase from the Company, and the Company to sell to such holders, shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock or debt securities issued by the Company or by third parties at a future date or dates, which may be issued pursuant to one or more purchase contract agreements (each, a Purchase Contract Agreement) proposed to be entered into by the Company and one or more purchase contract agents to be named therein, (vii) purchase units of the Company (Purchase Units), each consisting of a Purchase Contract and Debt Securities or debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. treasury securities, or any other securities or any combination of the foregoing, which may be issued pursuant to one or more agreements (each, a Purchase Unit Agreement) proposed to be entered into by the Company and one or more purchase unit agents to be named therein, and (viii) such indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock and indeterminate amount of Debt Securities as may be issued upon conversion, exchange or exercise, as applicable, of any Preferred Stock, Debt Securities, Warrants or Subscription Rights or settlement of any Purchase Contracts or Purchase Units, including such shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock as may be issued pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments determined at the time of offering (collectively, Indeterminate Securities).

We do not express any opinion as to the effect of any non-Opined on Law on the opinions stated herein.

The opinions stated herein are subject to the following qualifications:
(a) | the opinions stated herein are limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, preference and other similar laws affecting creditors rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); |
(b) | we do not express any opinion with respect to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to any party to any of the Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any such party or any of its affiliates as a result of the specific assets or business operations of such party or such affiliates; |
(c) | except to the extent expressly stated in the opinions contained herein, we have assumed that each of the Transaction Agreements constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each party to such Transaction Agreement, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms; |

(e) | we do not express any opinion with respect to the enforceability of any provision of any Transaction Agreement to the extent that such section purports to bind any Opinion Party to the exclusive jurisdiction of any particular federal court or courts; |

(g) | we have assumed that any agent of service will have accepted appointment as agent to receive service of process and call to your attention that we do not express any opinion if and to the extent such agent shall resign such appointment.

(h) | we have assumed that the choice of New York law to govern the Indenture and any supplemental indenture thereto is a valid and legal provision; |

(k) | we have assumed that the limited liability company agreement and the partnership agreement, as applicable, of the applicable Delaware Opinion Party Guarantor set forth on Schedule II is the only limited liability company agreement or partnership agreement, as applicable, as defined under the DLLCA or the DRUPA, as applicable, of such Delaware Opinion Party Guarantor; |
(l) | we do not express any opinion with respect to the enforceability of any provisions contained in the Offered Guarantees or the related Transaction Agreements to the extent that such provisions provide that the obligations of the Guarantors are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the enforceability or genuineness of the Indenture or the effect thereof on the opinions herein stated; |

(n) | to the extent that any opinion relates to the enforceability of the choice of New York law and choice of New York forum provisions contained in any Transaction Agreement, the opinions stated herein are subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be subject to, in each case, (i) the exceptions and limitations in New York General Obligations Law sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 and (ii) principles of comity or constitutionality. |
In addition, in rendering the foregoing opinions we have assumed that:
