five-year extension.

Express Scripts will be PlanetRx.com’s preferred partner for pharmacy benefit
management services and will receive one seat on the PlanetRx.com board of
directors.

“PlanetRx.com’s excellent brand awareness, technology and distribution
infrastructure allow Express Scripts to accelerate our Internet pharmacy
initiative,” said Barrett Toan, president and chief executive officer of
Express Scripts.

“This relationship enables us to focus on delivering
excellent pharmacy benefit services and health information to our clients and
their members.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Express Scripts will promote PlanetRx.com
as Express Scripts’ exclusive Internet pharmacy to fill prescriptions and
market other health and wellness products to Express Scripts’ plan members.

Express Scripts, which will retain ownership of the domain name
yourPharmacy.com, will link PlanetRx.com to yourPharmacy.com and actively
promote PlanetRx.com.

“We’re uniting the benefits of PlanetRx.com’s strong commerce capabilities
and Express Scripts’ strong content expertise” said William Razzouk,
