Reverse of Security
           1. Indenture and Principal Amount
     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of March 18, 2008 (herein called the “Indenture”), from the Company to U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($500,000,000) except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, Securities pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Indenture and subject to the right of the Company to “re-open” the Series of Securities.
           2. Optional Redemption
     The Securities of this series are subject to redemption (in minimum amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) upon not less than 30 days’ but not more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount, together in the case of any such redemption with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount for the Securities. On or after the redemption date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest) interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions of them called for redemption.
     “Make-Whole Amount” means the sum, as determined by the Quotation Agent (defined below), of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) on the Securities being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (defined below), plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed to the redemption date.
     “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below) (if

1


 

no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the Securities, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date, in each case calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date, plus 0.20%.
     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term from the redemption date to the stated maturity of the Securities that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities.
     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; provided, however, that if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the Comparable Treasury Price shall be the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.
     “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the Company to act as Quotation Agent.
     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., and their respective successors, and any other primary United States Government securities dealers (each a “primary treasury dealer”) specified by the Company from time to time; provided , however , that if any Reference Treasury Dealer shall cease to be a primary treasury dealer, the Company shall substitute another primary treasury dealer for such Reference Treasury Dealer.
     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by a Reference Treasury Dealer, of the bid and asking prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.
     “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of the principal of and interest on each Security to be redeemed that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption. If the redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Security being redeemed, the amount of the next

2


 

succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Security being redeemed will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to that redemption date.
           3. Repurchase upon a Change of Control
     If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each Holder of Securities will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities (in minimum amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Securities on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Change of Control Payment”).
     Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to Holders of Securities, with a written copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state:
  (i)   a brief description of the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event;
 
  (ii)   that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3 and that all Securities validly tendered will be accepted for payment;
 
  (iii)   the Change of Control Payment and the Change of Control Payment Date, which date shall be a Business Day that is no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);
 
  (iv)   if the notice is mailed prior to the date of the consummation of the Change of Control, the notice will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date; and
 
  (v)   that Holders of Securities electing to have Securities purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer must surrender their Securities, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase” on the reverse of this Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Securities to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
     The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 3, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this section by virtue of such conflicts.

3


 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Securities upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (i) a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer or (ii) the Company has given written notice of a redemption as provided under “Optional Redemption,” unless the Company has failed to pay the redemption price on the redemption date.
     “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Securities are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on the 60th day following the occurrence of a Change of Control (which date shall be extended if the rating of the Securities is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies on such 60th day, such extension to last until the date on which the Rating Agency considering such possible downgrade either (x) rates the Securities below an Investment Grade Rating or (y) publicly announces that it is no longer considering the Securities for possible downgrade; provided , that no such extension shall occur if any of the Rating Agencies rates the Securities with an Investment Grade Rating that is not subject to review for possible downgrade on such 60th day).
     “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:
  (i)   the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries;
 
  (ii)   the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;
 
  (iii)   the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or

4


 

      indirect parent company of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction;
 
  (iv)   the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company cease to be Continuing Directors; or
 
  (v)   the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
             Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (ii) above if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no Person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.

  (i)   was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Securities; or
 
  (ii)   was nominated for election or elected to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination).
     “Fitch” means Fitch, Inc. and its successors.
     “Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent) by Fitch, Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s and BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P, or, in each case, if such Rating Agency ceases to make a rating of the Securities publicly available, the equivalent investment grade credit rating by the replacement agency selected by the Company in accordance with the procedures described in the definition of “Rating Agencies” below.

     “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and its successors.

Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
           8. Limitation on Suits

The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
           9. No Alteration of the Company’s Obligation

Reverse of Security
           1. Indenture and Principal Amount
     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of March 18, 2008 (herein called the “Indenture”), from the Company to U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($500,000,000) except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, Securities pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Indenture and subject to the right of the Company to “re-open” the Series of Securities.
           2. Optional Redemption
     The Securities of this series are subject to redemption (in minimum amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) upon not less than 30 days’ but not more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount, together in the case of any such redemption with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount for the Securities. On or after the redemption date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest) interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions of them called for redemption.
     “Make-Whole Amount” means the sum, as determined by the Quotation Agent (defined below), of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) on the Securities being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (defined below), plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed to the redemption date.
     “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below) (if

1


 

no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the Securities, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date, in each case calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date, plus 0.25%.
     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term from the redemption date to the stated maturity of the Securities that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities.
     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; provided, however, that if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the Comparable Treasury Price shall be the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.
     “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the Company to act as Quotation Agent.
     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., and their respective successors, and any other primary United States Government securities dealers (each a “primary treasury dealer”) specified by the Company from time to time; provided , however , that if any Reference Treasury Dealer shall cease to be a primary treasury dealer, the Company shall substitute another primary treasury dealer for such Reference Treasury Dealer.
     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by a Reference Treasury Dealer, of the bid and asking prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.
     “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of the principal of and interest on each Security to be redeemed that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption. If the redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the Security being redeemed, the amount of the next

2


 

succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Security being redeemed will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to that redemption date.
           3. Repurchase upon a Change of Control
     If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each Holder of Securities will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities (in minimum amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Securities on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Change of Control Payment”).
     Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to Holders of Securities, with a written copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state:
  (i)   a brief description of the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event;
 
  (ii)   that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3 and that all Securities validly tendered will be accepted for payment;
 
  (iii)   the Change of Control Payment and the Change of Control Payment Date, which date shall be a Business Day that is no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);
 
  (iv)   if the notice is mailed prior to the date of the consummation of the Change of Control, the notice will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date; and
 
  (v)   that Holders of Securities electing to have Securities purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer must surrender their Securities, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase” on the reverse of this Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Securities to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
     The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 3, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this section by virtue of such conflicts.

3


 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Securities upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (i) a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer or (ii) the Company has given written notice of a redemption as provided under “Optional Redemption,” unless the Company has failed to pay the redemption price on the redemption date.
     “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Securities are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on the 60th day following the occurrence of a Change of Control (which date shall be extended if the rating of the Securities is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies on such 60th day, such extension to last until the date on which the Rating Agency considering such possible downgrade either (x) rates the Securities below an Investment Grade Rating or (y) publicly announces that it is no longer considering the Securities for possible downgrade; provided , that no such extension shall occur if any of the Rating Agencies rates the Securities with an Investment Grade Rating that is not subject to review for possible downgrade on such 60th day).
     “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:
  (i)   the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries;
 
  (ii)   the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;
 
  (iii)   the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or

4


 

      indirect parent company of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction;
 
  (iv)   the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company cease to be Continuing Directors; or
 
  (v)   the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (ii) above if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no Person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.

     “Fitch” means Fitch, Inc. and its successors.
     “Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent) by Fitch, Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s and BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P, or, in each case, if such Rating Agency ceases to make a rating of the Securities publicly available, the equivalent investment grade credit rating by the replacement agency selected by the Company in accordance with the procedures described in the definition of “Rating Agencies” below.

     “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and its successors.

6


 

percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
     In connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) of $500,000,000 principal amount of Medco’s 2.750% Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) and $500,000,000 principal amount of Medco’s 4.125% Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes,” and together with the 2015 Notes, the “Securities”) of Medco Health Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), we, as your counsel, have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.
     Upon the basis of such examination, we advise you that the Securities constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.
     In rendering the foregoing opinion, we are expressing no opinion as to Federal or state laws relating to fraudulent transfers.
     The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
     Also, we have relied as to certain factual matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and other sources believed by us to be responsible, and we have assumed that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee thereunder, an assumption that we have not independently verified.

 


 

Medco Health Solutions, Inc.    
     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to us under the heading “Validity of the Securities” in the Prospectus Supplement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.
         
  Very truly yours,
