                          CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

                             ASSETS PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     This Assets Purchase Agreement (this "ASSETS PURCHASE AGREEMENT" or
"AGREEMENT"),  dated as of December 31, 1997, is an agreement by and between
SMITHKLINE BEECHAM CLINICAL LABORATORIES, INC., a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of Delaware ("SBCL") and ACTAMED CORPORATION, a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of Georgia ("ACTAMED"). 
Capitalized terms used in this Assets Purchase Agreement and not otherwise
defined herein are defined in EXHIBIT A attached to this Assets Purchase
Agreement.
                                          
                                    PREAMBLE

     ActaMed is in the business of providing electronic data interchange
products and services to the health care industry, including its ProviderLink
software, and desires to develop business involving automated laboratory order
entry and results reporting services.

     SBCL provides laboratory testing services to certain Providers who use SBCL
Software  for electronic clinical laboratory test order entry and/or test result
reporting between an  SBCL Lab and such Provider.  In addition, SBCL uses the
SBCL Software to allow certain [*] to send laboratory test orders entered
electronically to an SBCL Lab and/or to have the test results reported
electronically back to [*] or the Provider ordering the test.

          The Parties previously entered into a Development Agreement dated
October 31, 1997 pursuant to which ActaMed and SBCL are jointly developing the
ActaLab Software.

          ActaMed desires to purchase and SBCL desires to sell certain assets
associated with SBCL's provision of Lab EDI Services, as more fully set forth
herein.  Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Purchase
Agreement, SBCL and ActaMed are entering into (i) a License Agreement whereby,
among other things, SBCL grants ActaMed an irrevocable non-exclusive license to
the SBCL Software (as defined therein); and (ii) a Services Agreement whereby
ActaMed agrees, among other things, to provide Lab EDI Services to Automated
Providers and SBCL agrees to pay certain compensation to ActaMed in connection
therewith.  This Assets Purchase Agreement states the parties' agreements
relating to the purchase and sale of the SCAN Assets and certain transition
matters.

          The Parties contemplate that there will be a staged transfer to
ActaMed of the SCAN Assets.  The transfer of Region One SCAN Assets is to occur
on the Region One Transfer Date.  The transfer of the other Regions will occur
sequentially when the Transfer Benchmarks for transfer of such Regions have been
met.
                                          
                                     AGREEMENT

          In consideration of the recitals and of the respective covenants,
representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and intending to be
legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                                   -3-

or

                              (c)  notwithstanding anything to the contrary in

                    1.6.2     after ActaMed's initial Public Offering, if a
Transfer Date occurs at least thirty (30) trading days after the effective date
of such Public Offering, the average for such 30 days of (i) the mean between
the reported high and low sales prices for ActaMed Common Stock on each such
trading day, or (ii) if no sales are reported on any such trading day, the mean

Public Offering (including the initial day of trading when computing the number
of days), the initial offering price for ActaMed Common Stock in such initial
Public Offering less the amount of any underwriters' discounts or commissions on
a per share basis, as set forth in the effective registration statement.

transaction to one or more purchasers who are not ActaMed stockholders as of the

shall be the consideration per equivalent share of Common Stock received by
ActaMed for the Qualified Preferred Stock, adjusted backwards to the Region One

stock or similar change in ActaMed's capital structure (whether by stock split,
stock dividend, merger, share exchange, consolidation or otherwise) since the
Region One Transfer Date.

     SECTION 1.7    PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT.  SBCL shall transfer all of 
the SCAN Assets located in Region Three on the Region Three Transfer Date.  
In the event that, by [*] SBCL has not provided [*] to ActaMed [*] described

subsequent to [*] SBCL provides [*] ActaMed shall [*] that SBCL [*] 
pursuant to this provision [*].

     SECTION 1.8    NUMBER OF SITES ADJUSTMENT.  On any Transfer Date other 
than the Region One Transfer Date, if the aggregate number of SBCL Sites 
located in the Regions which were previously transferred to ActaMed in 
accordance herewith, plus the aggregate number of SBCL Sites located in 
Regions then being or subsequently to be transferred to ActaMed, is less than 
[*] then the portion of the Purchase Price 

[*] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED


                                   -5-




otherwise payable on such Transfer Date shall be reduced to an amount equal 
to the portion of the Purchase Price otherwise then payable times a fraction 
the numerator of which shall be the number of SBCL Sites to be transferred on 
such Transfer Date, and the denominator of which shall be [*] MINUS the 
number of SBCL Sites transferred on previous Transfer Dates, and MINUS the 
number of SBCL Sites located in Regions subsequently to be transferred; 
PROVIDED that no such adjustment shall be made if such fraction is [*] or 
more.

                               ARTICLE 2   

                               CLOSINGS

     SECTION 2.1    INITIAL CLOSING.  Conveyance of SCAN Assets in each of the
Regions by SBCL to ActaMed shall take place as set forth in this Article Two. 
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Assets Purchase Agreement,
SBCL and ActaMed have executed and delivered the License Agreement, the First
Amendment to the Development Agreement, the Services Agreement, the Third
Amendment to the Stockholders Agreement, the Third Amendment to the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Standstill Agreement, and such other documents as the
parties have reasonably requested, each of which shall be effective as of the
Region One Transfer Date.  In addition, effective on or before such date,
ActaMed shall file in the office of the Secretary of State of Georgia its Fourth
Amended Articles.

     SECTION 2.2    STAGING OF THE TRANSACTIONS.

                    2.2.1     The parties shall effect the transfer of the SCAN
Assets in as orderly a manner as possible and with minimal disruption to
Automated Providers.  This Assets Purchase Agreement provides benchmarks that
will be used by the parties to measure the degree to which the transfer is
orderly and without disruption and provides steps the parties will take if the
benchmarks are not met to improve the transition process.  Provided the
benchmarks are satisfied, the parties intend that all of the transfers be
completed as quickly as possible and that targeted transfer dates may be
accelerated in such circumstances.

                    2.2.2     At any time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days
written notice by SBCL to ActaMed, except to the extent a shorter period is
provided for in Section 2.2.3 hereof, SBCL shall in its sole discretion have the
right to accelerate the Region Two Transfer Date, the Region Three Transfer Date
or the Region Four Transfer Date to a date immediately after expiration of such
notice period (the "ACCELERATED TRANSFER DATE").  In such case, the transactions
contemplated by Sections 1.5.3, 1.5.4 and 1.5.5 above shall take place on such
Accelerated Transfer Date, in the manner specified in Sections 2.5 and 2.6
below, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Assets Purchase
Agreement.

                    2.2.3     In the event of any proposed issuance of Qualified
Preferred Stock, ActaMed shall provide SBCL with notice of its intent to
consummate such a transaction not less 

[*] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED


                                     -6-




than forty-five (45) days prior to doing so, and shall provide SBCL notice of 
an affirmative obligation to issue Qualified Preferred Stock not less than 
fifteen (15) days prior to issuance.  In such event, SBCL shall in its sole 
discretion have the right to notify ActaMed and cause one or more Accelerated 
Transfer Dates to occur thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice, 
and, if SBCL so designates, conditioned upon the occurrence of the proposed 
sale of Qualified Preferred Stock.  The number of shares Series D Preferred 
Stock issued to SBCL on any such Accelerated Transfer Date(s) shall be 
calculated as if such Accelerated Transfer Date(s) occurred prior to the 
closing of the sale of such Qualified Preferred Stock.

     SECTION 2.3    REGIONS TO BE TRANSFERRED.

                    2.3.1     The SCAN Assets located in Region One will be
transferred to ActaMed on the Region One Transfer Date.  The parties will
cooperate to identify and resolve any problems that arise after the transfer of
such SCAN Assets to ActaMed.

                    2.3.2     Provided that the applicable Transfer Benchmarks
have been met for Region One Sites, and subject to SBCL's rights under Section
2.2.2 hereof, the SCAN Assets located in Region Two will be transferred to
ActaMed three (3) months after the Region One Transfer Date (the "REGION TWO
TRANSFER DATE").  ActaMed shall notify SBCL's Relationship Manager that it is in
compliance with the Transfer Benchmarks and wishes to close the transfer of the
SCAN Assets located in Region Two fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled
Region Two Transfer Date.  SBCL shall have seven (7) days to respond to
ActaMed's notice, indicating that SBCL either (i) will close the transfer on the
scheduled Region Two Transfer Date or (ii) that ActaMed's operations relative to
the Region One Sites fail to meet the Transfer Benchmarks.  If SBCL determines
that ActaMed's operations relative to the Region One Sites fail to meet the
Transfer Benchmarks to allow for the transfer of SCAN Assets located in Region
Two, the provisions of Section 2.4 will apply.  The parties will cooperate to
identify and resolve any problems that arise after the transfer of the SCAN
Assets located at Region Two Sites to ActaMed.

                    2.3.3     Provided that the applicable Transfer Benchmarks
have been met for Region One Sites and Region Two Sites on and after the Region
Two Transfer Date, and subject to SBCL's rights under Section 2.2.2 hereof, the
SCAN Assets located in Region Three will be transferred to ActaMed three (3)
months after the Region Two Transfer Date (the "REGION THREE TRANSFER DATE"). 
ActaMed shall notify SBCL's Relationship Manager that it is in compliance with
the Transfer Benchmarks and wishes to close the transfer of the SCAN Assets
located in Region Three fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled Region Three
Transfer Date.  SBCL shall have seven (7) days to respond to ActaMed's notice,
indicating that SBCL either (i) will close the transfer on the scheduled Region
Three Transfer Date or (ii) that ActaMed's operations relative to the Region One
Sites and Region Two Sites fail to meet the Transfer Benchmarks.  If SBCL
determines that ActaMed's operations relative to the Region One Sites and Region
Two Sites fail to meet the Transfer Benchmarks to allow for the transfer of SCAN
Assets located in Region Three, the provisions of Section 2.4 will apply.  The
parties will 


                                       -7-



cooperate to identify and resolve any problems that arise after the transfer 
of the SCAN Assets located at Region Three Sites to ActaMed.

                    2.3.4     Provided that the applicable Transfer Benchmarks
have been met for Region One Sites, Region Two Sites and Region Three Sites on
and after the Region Three Transfer Date, and subject to SBCL's rights under
Section 2.2.2 hereof, the SCAN Assets located in Region Four will be transferred
to ActaMed three (3) months after the Region Three Transfer Date (the "REGION
FOUR TRANSFER DATE").  ActaMed shall notify SBCL's Relationship Manager  that it
is in compliance with the Transfer Benchmarks and wishes to close the transfer
of the SCAN Assets located in Region Four fifteen (15) days prior to the
scheduled Region Four Transfer Date.  SBCL shall have seven (7) days to respond
to ActaMed's notice, indicating that SBCL either (i) will close the transfer on
the scheduled Region Four Transfer Date or (ii) that ActaMed's operations
relative to the Region One Sites, Region Two Sites and Region Three Sites fail
to meet the Transfer Benchmarks.  If SBCL determines that ActaMed's operations
relative to the Region One Sites, Region Two Sites and Region Three Sites fail
to meet the Transfer Benchmarks to allow for the transfer of SCAN Assets located
in Region Four, the provisions of Section 2.4 will apply. The parties will
cooperate to identify and resolve any problems that arise after the transfer of
the SCAN Assets located at Region Four Sites to ActaMed.

     SECTION 2.4    PROCEDURES APPLICABLE IF TRANSFER BENCHMARKS ARE NOT MET. 
If, prior to any scheduled Transfer Date after the Region One Transfer Date,
SBCL determines that ActaMed has failed to meet the requisite Transfer
Benchmarks, ActaMed shall, on or prior to five (5) business days following the
scheduled Transfer Date, either (i) submit a written remediation plan to SBCL
detailing the steps required to accomplish such Transfer Benchmarks and the
means to achieving  such steps, or (ii) notify SBCL, in writing, that ActaMed
believes the failure to meet such Transfer Benchmarks is for reasons beyond the
control of ActaMed, including without limitation, a failure by SBCL to perform
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Services Agreement.  Within
ten (10) business days following receipt of such a remediation plan or notice,
SBCL shall make a determination, considering available resources and the
contents of the plan or notice, as to whether the problem is remediable within a
reasonable period of time.  If SBCL determines that the problem is remediable as
aforesaid, it shall set a date not less than thirty (30) nor more than ninety
(90) days from the scheduled Transfer Date as a measurement date (the
"Measurement Date") for satisfaction of the applicable Transfer Benchmarks.  If
SBCL determines that the applicable Transfer Benchmarks are met on or before the
Measurement Date, then the original Transfer Date shall be reset for a date
immediately following the date which is ten (10) days after such applicable
Transfer Benchmarks were met, and on which date such applicable Transfer
Benchmarks continue to be met.  If ActaMed disagrees with SBCL's determination
as to whether the problem is remediable, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant
to the provisions of Article IX hereof.  If a Transfer Date is extended or reset
hereunder, all subsequent Transfer Dates will be rescheduled, subject to this
Section 2.4, at three (3) month intervals after the extended or reset Transfer
Date.

Date and post-Transfer Date periods.

     SECTION 2.8    NON-TRANSFERABLE ASSETS.

                    2.8.1     To the extent that any SCAN Asset which would
otherwise be transferred on an Applicable Transfer Date (a "TRANSFERRED ASSET")
is not capable of being sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered
without obtaining a Required Consent, or if such sale, assignment, transfer,
conveyance or delivery or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or
delivery would constitute a violation of any Contract or License constituting or
relating specifically to a Transferred Asset, or a violation of any Regulation,
or would result in the imposition of any significant additional Liability or
obligation on SBCL or ActaMed, or a substantial diminution in the value or use
of such Transferred Asset, this Assets Purchase Agreement shall not constitute a
sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such Transferred Asset or
an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery thereof, nor
shall it constitute an assumption of any Liability under any Contract or License
constituting or relating specifically to such Transferred Asset.  Any such
Transferred Asset and any Contract or License which constitutes or relates
exclusively to any such Transferred Asset or Assets shall be a "NON-TRANSFERABLE
ASSET".  SBCL shall use its best efforts, and ActaMed shall reasonably cooperate
therein, to provide ActaMed with the benefit of any such Non-Transferable Asset.

                    2.8.2     Anything in this Assets Purchase Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, SBCL shall not be obligated to sell, assign, transfer,
convey or deliver, or cause to be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or
delivered to ActaMed, and ActaMed shall not be obligated to purchase or assume,
any Non-Transferable Asset without first having obtained all Required Consents
or prevented the imposition of such Liability or obligation or diminution in
value or use.  Both before and after the Applicable Transfer Date, SBCL and
ActaMed shall use their collective best efforts to obtain any Required Consents
or to prevent the imposition of any


                                    -10-



such Liability or obligation or any such diminution in value or use so as to 
transfer each such Non-Transferable Asset to ActaMed without adversely 
modifying, amending or burdening such Non-Transferable Asset.  Any costs 
associated with such efforts shall be borne by SBCL.

                    2.8.3     To the extent that on a given Transfer Date, there
is any Non-Transferable Asset, SBCL shall, from and after such Transfer Date,
cooperate with ActaMed in any reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to
provide the benefit of such Non-Transferable Asset to ActaMed, and ActaMed, so
long as such benefit is so provided, shall satisfy or perform any Liability
under or in connection with such Non-Transferable Asset which would be a
Liability assumed by ActaMed if such Non-Transferable Asset were a Transferred
Asset.  Any costs associated with such efforts shall be borne by SBCL.

                    2.8.4     At any time after a given Transfer Date, if any
Non-Transferable Asset becomes capable of being sold, assigned, transferred,
conveyed or delivered to ActaMed without a violating any Contract, License or
Regulation or resulting in the imposition of any significant additional
Liability or obligation on SBCL or ActaMed or a substantial diminution in the
value or use of such Asset, then, at such time, such Non-Transferable Asset
shall be deemed to have been sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered
to ActaMed effective as of the Applicable Transfer Date hereof pursuant to the
execution and delivery of a Bill of Sale and Assignment and an Assumption
Agreement with respect to the Transferred Assets on such Applicable Transfer
Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if and to the extent that SBCL has theretofore
provided ActaMed with comparable assets or compensation for such Asset, an
equitable adjustment shall be made between SBCL and ActaMed to effectuate fully
the intent of the foregoing provision.


                                      ARTICLE 3   

                            REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


     SECTION 3.1    BY SBCL.  Except as set forth on a Disclosure Schedule
hereto, SBCL hereby represents and warrants to ActaMed, and shall (except as
contemplated by Section 2.5.2 hereof) represent and warrant to ActaMed on each
Transfer Date as to itself and the SCAN Assets being transferred on such
Transfer Date, as follows:

                    3.1.1     CAPACITY AND VALIDITY.  SBCL has the full power
and corporate authority necessary to enter into and perform its obligations
under this Assets Purchase Agreement and the other documents to be executed and
delivered by SBCL hereunder or in connection herewith (the "SBCL DOCUMENTS") and
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  This Assets
Purchase Agreement and all other SBCL Documents have been or will be duly
executed and delivered by SBCL, and constitute or will constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligations of SBCL, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms except as enforceability may be limited by applicable equitable
principles, or by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
laws from time to time in effect


                                    -11-



affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.   The execution, 
delivery and performance of this Assets Purchase Agreement or any other SBCL 
Document, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or 
thereby, will not violate any provisions of the articles of incorporation or 
bylaws of SBCL, or any Regulation or Court Order to which SBCL is subject.

                    3.1.2     ORGANIZATION, GOOD STANDING AND FOREIGN
QUALIFICATION.  SBCL is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of Delaware, and has the corporate power and
authority to carry on its business in such places as it has been and is now
being conducted, and to own and lease the properties and assets which it now
owns or leases, in each case in connection with its provision of Lab EDI
Services.

                    3.1.3     PROJECTIONS.

                              (a)  The aggregate costs reflected by the line 
items [*] attached hereto as DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE 3.1.3 (the "PROJECTIONS") 
are accurate in all material respects and do not omit to state any material 
fact required to be stated therein to make such Projections not misleading; 
PROVIDED that such Projections are indicative only of general expenses 
(excluding one-time or transactional expenses, which include any expenses 
incurred with respect to this transaction) for [*] projected to be incurred 
in connection with SBCL's provision of Lab EDI Services to [*] SCAN Sites and 
assume that ActaMed will provide services to only such number of SCAN Sites 
and only in the same manner that SBCL did prior to transfer.

                              (b)  The Projections were prepared in accordance
with the books and records of SBCL in all material respects, which books and
records have been properly maintained and are complete and correct in all
material respects.

                              (c)  SBCL has not received any advice or
notification from its independent certified public accountants that SBCL has
used any improper accounting practice that would have the effect of not
reflecting or incorrectly reflecting in the Projections any expenses associated
with SBCL's provision of Lab EDI Services.

                    3.1.4     ABSENCE OF CHANGES.  Except as contemplated by
this Assets Purchase Agreement, since December 1, 1997, SBCL's provision of Lab
EDI Services has been carried on only in the ordinary course of SBCL's business,
and there has not been any transaction or occurrence in which SBCL has:

                              (a)  suffered or experienced any event or
condition materially increasing the expenses incurred by SBCL in the provision
of Lab EDI Services;

[*] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

                              (b)  increased the rate of compensation payable or

or [*] (as defined in the Services Agreement) (such as network operations, 
quality assurance or software development problems) which have materially and 
adversely affected SBCL's provision of Lab EDI Services to SBCL Sites in 
Regions not yet transferred to ActaMed pursuant to this Assets Purchase 
Agreement.

                    3.1.5     REAL PROPERTY.  SBCL neither owns nor leases
(either as lessee or lessor) any real property related exclusively to its
provision of Lab EDI Services. 

                    3.1.6     PERSONAL PROPERTY.

                              (a)  SBCL owns and has good title to the SCAN

                              (c)  SBCL does not lease any equipment, machinery
or other items of tangible personal property for use exclusively in the
provision of Lab EDI Services.  SBCL does not lease any personal property as

                    3.1.7     COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

                              (a)  To the best knowledge of SBCL, in its
provision of Lab EDI Services, SBCL has complied in all material respects with
all applicable Regulations relating to the provision of Lab EDI Services.

                              (b)  To the best knowledge of SBCL, the SCAN
Software complies as of the Region One Transfer Date with all applicable
Regulations relating to SBCL's provision of Lab EDI Services.

                              (c)  SBCL has obtained all consents or approvals
required from, has made all necessary filings with, and has provided all
required notices to, any governmental body or agency or any other third party in

                    3.1.8     LITIGATION AND CLAIMS.  There are no outstanding
Court Orders or quasi-judicial or administrative decisions to which SBCL is
subject relating to the SCAN Assets located at SBCL Sites and there is no
Litigation pending or, to SBCL's knowledge, threatened relating to (i) the SCAN
Assets located at SBCL Sites or (ii) SBCL's provision of Lab EDI Services.  SBCL
has not been advised by any attorney representing it that there are any "loss
contingencies" (as defined in FASB 5), which would be required by FASB 5 to be
disclosed or accrued in SBCL's financial statements by reason of the Lab EDI
Services provided by SBCL.

                    3.1.9     CONTRACTS AND COMMITMENTS; WARRANTIES.

                              (a)  DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE 3.1.9 contains, to the
best knowledge of SBCL, a list, which is true and correct in all material
respects, of all Vendor Contracts and all Contracts to which SBCL is a party
solely because it provides Lab EDI Services using the SCAN Network, except for
Contracts (other than Vendor Contracts) that (i) are terminable on thirty (30)
days or less notice by SBCL without any Liability, (ii) are described in any
other Section of the Disclosure Schedule hereto, or (iii) do not require
payments in excess of $5,000 in the aggregate following the date hereof (unless
renewed which renewal is at the discretion of ActaMed).

                              (b)  Each of the Contracts listed in DISCLOSURE
SCHEDULE 3.1.9, or described in this Section 3.1.9, is in full force and effect.
No Default by SBCL under any of the terms or conditions set forth in any of the
Contracts to which SBCL is a party or any document or instrument related thereto
has occurred or been asserted by any party which could result in acceleration of
any obligations under or termination of the Contract.  The execution, delivery
and performance of this Assets Purchase Agreement or any other SBCL Document,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will
not conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a Default under any
Contract to which SBCL is a party or by which it is bound, affect the
continuation, validity and effectiveness of any of such Contracts, or any terms
thereof, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the SCAN Assets
located at SBCL Sites, or result in the acceleration of the maturity of any
payment date of any of SBCL's


                                    -14-



obligations, or increase or adversely affect the obligations of SBCL 
thereunder.  SBCL has provided, upon request, true, correct and complete 
copies of the Contracts referred to in DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE 3.1.9 to ActaMed 
for review.

                    3.1.10    CONDITION OF ASSETS.  To the best of SBCL's
knowledge, the PC Systems located at SBCL Sites in a Region to be transferred on
an Applicable Transfer Date are in good operating condition so as to allow, in
the aggregate, a level of connectivity with the SCAN Network which is consistent
with SBCL's historically experienced level of connectivity.  No representation
or warranty is hereby given as to the condition or state of repair of any
individual component of a PC System.

                    3.1.11    BROKERS AND FINDERS.  No third party is entitled
to receive any commission, fees or similar consideration in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Assets Purchase Agreement based on any
arrangement or agreement made by or on behalf of SBCL.


                    3.1.12    INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS; LEGEND ON SHARES.

                              (a)  SBCL hereby acknowledges that (i) the shares
of Series D Preferred Stock (or, if applicable, Conversion Shares) delivered
pursuant to this Assets Purchase Agreement have not been registered under the
Securities Act, and the resale of such shares is therefore subject to
restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws including without
limitation that such shares cannot be sold or otherwise disposed of except in a
transaction which is registered under the Securities Act or exempted from
registration; (ii) ActaMed has advised SBCL, a reasonable time prior to the
execution of this Assets Purchase Agreement, that the shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act; and (iii) all certificates representing the
shares delivered to SBCL shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend
substantially in the following form (together with any other legend required by
state law), and that stop transfer orders will be given to ActaMed's transfer
agent:

               "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
               UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE
               SECURITIES ACTS AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR
               OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN
               REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND
               ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES ACTS OR
               EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATIONS ARE
               AVAILABLE."

                              (b)  SBCL is an accredited investor (as such term
is defined in Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC) and is acquiring
the shares of Series D Preferred Stock (and, if applicable, Conversion Shares)
for its own account for investment purposes only, and not with a view to the
distribution, transfer, or assignment of the same in whole or in part.  SBCL has
been represented by counsel and advisers, each of whom has been


                                    -15-




previously selected by SBCL, as SBCL has found necessary to consult 
concerning this Assets Purchase Agreement and the shares to be issued 
pursuant to this Assets Purchase Agreement.  SBCL, either alone or with its 
representative(s), has such knowledge and experience in financial or business 
matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the 
prospective investment.  SBCL and its counsel and other advisers have been 
provided with such information concerning ActaMed as they have deemed 
relevant with respect to SBCL's investment decision relating to the shares 
being delivered to it.  SBCL has had a reasonable opportunity to ask 
questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the 
transactions contemplated by this Assets Purchase Agreement, to discuss 
ActaMed's business, management and financial affairs with the management of 
ActaMed, and to obtain any additional information which ActaMed possesses or 
can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to 
verify the accuracy of the information furnished.  SBCL has received 
satisfactory responses from management of ActaMed to SBCL's inquiries.

                    3.1.13    THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE.  SBCL has sufficient rights
and licenses in Third Party Software to convey the rights contemplated by
Section 1.2 hereof, free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances, in each
case subject to the exclusions and limitations expressly set forth in Section
1.2 hereof.

                    3.1.14    SCHEDULES.  All Sections of the Disclosure
Schedule referenced in this Section 3.1 are true, correct and complete as of the
date of this Assets Purchase Agreement, and will be true, correct and complete
as of each Transfer Date.  Matters disclosed in each such Section of the
Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed disclosed for purposes of the matters to be
disclosed in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule.

     SECTION 3.2    BY ACTAMED.  Except as set forth on a Disclosure Schedule
hereto, ActaMed hereby represents and warrants to SBCL, and will represent and
warrant to SBCL on each Transfer Date, as follows:

                    3.2.1     ORGANIZATION, GOOD STANDING AND AUTHORITY. 
ActaMed is a duly organized and validly existing corporation in good standing
under the laws of the State of Georgia and has full corporate power and
authority to carry on its business, to own and operate its properties and
assets, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Assets Purchase
Agreement and the other documents to be executed and delivered by ActaMed
hereunder (the "ACTAMED DOCUMENTS").  ActaMed is currently engaged in the
ActaMed Business and is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in
each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a Material
Adverse Effect.  The Fourth Amended Articles have been duly filed and are
currently in effect.  ActaMed has delivered to SBCL true, correct and complete
copies of the Fourth Amended Articles and the bylaws of ActaMed, including all
amendments thereto, as presently in effect.  ActaMed has all governmental
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on the
ActaMed Business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted and to own,
operate and lease its properties and


                                    -16-




assets, except for those licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals the 
failure of which to have would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

                    3.2.2     AUTHORIZATION OF AGREEMENT, NO BREACH.  The
execution and delivery of this Assets Purchase Agreement have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of ActaMed, and no
further corporate action of any nature is required pursuant to the Articles or
the bylaws of ActaMed.  All Persons who have executed or will execute this
Assets Purchase Agreement, or any other agreement or document called for by this
Assets Purchase Agreement on behalf of ActaMed have been duly authorized to do
so by all necessary corporate action.  This Assets Purchase Agreement and the
other ActaMed Documents have been duly executed and delivered by ActaMed and
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of ActaMed, enforceable against
ActaMed in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may
be limited by applicable equitable principles, or by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws from time to time in effect affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.  The execution, delivery and
performance of this Assets Purchase Agreement and the other ActaMed Documents
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will
not (1) violate or result in a breach of or Default or acceleration under the
Articles or the bylaws of ActaMed or any material contract to which ActaMed is a
party or is bound, (2) violate any Court Order, quasi-judicial or administrative
decision or award of any court, arbitrator, mediator, tribunal, administrative
agency or governmental body applicable to or binding upon ActaMed or upon the
securities, property or business of ActaMed or (3) violate any Regulation
relating to ActaMed, or to the securities, property, or business of ActaMed.

                    3.2.3     ACTAMED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

                              (a)  DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE 3.2.3 hereto contains a
true and correct copy of (i) the balance sheets of ActaMed at December 31, 1995
and December 31, 1996 and the statements of operations, statements of
stockholders equity and statements of cash flows of ActaMed for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1996, which have been audited by Deloitte & Touche, LLP independent accountants (the "ACTAMED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"),  and
(ii) the unaudited balance sheets of ActaMed at September 30, 1997 and the
statements of operations, statements of stockholders equity and statements of
cash flows of ActaMed for quarter ended September 30, 1997 (the "ACTAMED
UNAUDITED STATEMENTS").

                              (b)  The ActaMed Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the
respective periods covered thereby.  The ActaMed Financial Statements are
correct and complete and present fairly in all material respects the financial
position of ActaMed at the date of the balance sheets included therein and the
results of operations and cash flows of ActaMed for the respective periods
covered by the statements of operations and cash flows included therein. 
ActaMed has no material obligations or liabilities of any nature whatsoever
(whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or not due)
which would be required by GAAP to be


                                    -17-



disclosed in the ActaMed Financial Statements and which, either individually 
or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect and which are not 
disclosed by the ActaMed Financial Statements.

                              (c)  The ActaMed Unaudited Statements have been
prepared in reasonable detail and in accordance with GAAP applied consistently
throughout the periods reflected therein (except as otherwise disclosed therein)
and certified by the chief financial officer of ActaMed as presenting fairly the
financial condition and results of operations of ActaMed and any of its
Subsidiaries for the periods covered by the statements (subject to customary
exceptions for interim unaudited financial statements).

                    3.2.4     CONSENTS.  No consent, approval or authorization
of, or qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, or notice to any
governmental authority on the part of ActaMed is required in connection with (a)
the valid execution and delivery of the ActaMed Documents and (b) the issuance
of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock (and, if applicable, the Conversion
Shares), except the filing of the Fourth Amended Articles in the office of the
Secretary of State of the State of Georgia, which filing will be accomplished
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Assets Purchase Agreement.

                    3.2.5     CAPITALIZATION.

                              (a)  After giving effect to the authorization of
the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the capital stock of ActaMed, as
authorized by its Articles consists of the authorized, issued and outstanding
capital stock set forth on DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE 3.2.5.  None of such issued
shares is held in the treasury of ActaMed.  ActaMed does not have outstanding
any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of its
capital stock and no Person has any right against ActaMed to subscribe for or to
purchase, or any options for the purchase, or any agreements providing for the
issuance, of any capital stock or any stock or securities convertible into
capital stock of ActaMed.
                              (b)  All of the issued and outstanding shares 
of ActaMed capital stock have been validly issued and are fully paid and 
non-assessable.  The shares of Series D Preferred Stock, when issued to SBCL 
pursuant to this Assets Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully 
paid and nonassessable, will have the designations, preferences, limitations, 
and relative rights set forth in the Articles and will be free and clear of 
all liens, claims and encumbrances.  Any and all of the Conversion Shares, 
when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                    3.2.6     REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  Except as set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement, ActaMed will not be under any obligation to
register under the Securities Act any of its then outstanding securities or any
of its securities which may thereafter be issued.

                    3.2.7     OFFERING.  Subject to the accuracy of
representations and warranties by SBCL in Section 3.1 hereof, the issuance of
the shares of Series D Preferred Stock (and the


                                    -18-



issuance of the Conversion Shares) on the Applicable Transfer Date 
constitutes a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of 
Section 5 of the Securities Act, and from the qualification requirements of 
any applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws.

                    3.2.8     CHANGES.  Since the date of the latest ActaMed
Unaudited Statements, there has not been (i) any adverse change in the assets,
liabilities, financial condition or operations of the ActaMed Business from that
reflected in the ActaMed Financial Statements, other than changes in the
ordinary course of business, none of which individually or in the aggregate has
had a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) any adverse change in the prospects of the
ActaMed Business or any other event or condition (or events or conditions) of
any character which, either individually or cumulatively, has had a Material
Adverse Effect.

                    3.2.9     SUBSIDIARIES.  Other than EDI Services Inc.,
ActaMed has no Subsidiaries.  Except as set forth in this Assets Purchase
Agreement, ActaMed does not own, or have the right to acquire, any securities or
other equity or ownership interest in any corporation, association or other
business entity or Person.

                    3.2.10    PENDING LITIGATION, ETC.  There are no actions at
law, suits in equity or other proceedings or, to the knowledge of ActaMed,
investigations in any court, tribunal or by or before any other governmental or
public authority or agency or any arbitrator or arbitration panel or any
governmental or private third-party insurance agency, pending or, to the
knowledge of ActaMed, threatened against or affecting ActaMed that either
individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect, or,
would question the validity or enforceability of this Assets Purchase Agreement,
the ActaMed Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby.  ActaMed is not in default with respect to any Court Order.

                    3.2.11    TITLE TO PROPERTIES.  ActaMed has good and
marketable title to its properties and assets and has good title to all its
respective leasehold interests, in each case subject to no Lien, other than as
set forth on DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE 3.2.11 hereto.  DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE 3.2.11
accurately lists with respect to the personal property owned by ActaMed (i) each
financing statement, deed, agreement or other instrument which has been filed,
recorded or registered pursuant to any Regulation that names a business entity
as debtor or lessee or as the grantor or the transferor of the interest created
thereby, and (ii) as to each such financing statement, deed, agreement or other
instrument, the names of the debtor, lessee, grantor or transferor and the
secured party, lessor, grantee or transferee and the name of the jurisdiction in
which such financing statement, deed, agreement or other instrument has been
filed, recorded or registered.

                    3.2.12    INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, ETC.  ActaMed owns or
possesses the rights to use, free from burdensome restrictions or conflicts with
the rights of others, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of the
ActaMed Business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.  All licenses
constituting ActaMed's Intellectual Property are in full force and effect and
constitute legal, valid and binding obligation of the respective parties
thereto, and


                                    -19-



there have not been and are not any Defaults thereunder by any party.  There 
are no outstanding options, licenses, or material agreements of any kind 
relating to the foregoing, nor is ActaMed bound by or a party to any options, 
licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to such Intellectual 
Property.  ActaMed has not received any communications alleging that it has 
violated or, by conducting its business as proposed, would violate any of the 
Intellectual Property rights of any other Person.  To ActaMed's knowledge, 
none of its employees is obligated under any contract (including licenses, 
covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any 
judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would 
interfere with the use of their best efforts to promote the interests of 
ActaMed or that would conflict with the ActaMed Business as proposed to be 
conducted.  Neither the execution nor delivery of this Assets Purchase 
Agreement, nor the carrying on of the ActaMed Business by the employees of 
ActaMed, nor the conduct of the ActaMed Business as proposed, will, to 
ActaMed's knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, 
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a Default under, any Contract 
under which any of such employees is now obligated.  ActaMed does not believe 
it is or will be necessary to utilize any inventions of any of its employees 
(or people it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by 
ActaMed.

                    3.2.13    COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS.  ActaMed is not
in violation of or in Default in any material respect under any term of its
organizational documents, any term or provision of any mortgage, indenture,
contract, agreement, instrument, judgment or decree, and is not in violation in
any material respect of any applicable Regulation, and to ActaMed's knowledge,
there is no state of facts which, with the passage of time or giving of notice
or both, would constitute any such violation or Default that would in the
aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.  The execution, delivery and
performance of and compliance with the ActaMed Documents, the issuance of the
shares of Series D Preferred Stock (and the Conversion Shares) and the
consummation of any other transaction contemplated by the ActaMed Documents have
not resulted and will not result in any such violation, or be in conflict with,
or constitute a Default under any of the foregoing, or result in the creation of
any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of ActaMed.

                    3.2.14    COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.  ActaMed is in compliance
with all Regulations to which it is subject, the violation of which, either
individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.  The
execution, delivery or performance of this Assets Purchase Agreement or any of
the other ActaMed Documents, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the ActaMed Documents, will not cause ActaMed to be in violation
of any Regulation.

                    3.2.15    EMPLOYEES.  To the knowledge of ActaMed, no
employee of ActaMed is in violation of any term of any employment contract,
patent disclosure agreement or any other Contract relating to the Intellectual
Property of ActaMed or the relationship of any such employee with such entity or
any other party.

                    3.2.16    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.


                              (a)  DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE  3.2.16  contains a
current, correct and complete list of all the Employee Benefit Plans. 

                              (b)  All Employee Benefit Plans conform (and at
all times have conformed) in all material respects to, and are being
administered and operated (and have at all times been administered and operated)
in material compliance with, the requirements of ERISA, the Code and all other
applicable Regulations.  All returns, reports and disclosure statements required
to be made under ERISA and the Code with respect to all such Employee Benefit
Plans have been timely filed or delivered.  There have not been any "prohibited
transactions," as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section
406 of ERISA, involving any of the Employee Benefit Plans, that could subject
ActaMed to any material penalty or tax imposed under the Code or ERISA.

                              (c)  Any Employee Benefit Plan intended to be
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from tax under Section
501(a) of the Code has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so
qualified or an application for such determination is pending.  Any such
determination that has been obtained remains in effect and has not been revoked,
and with respect to any application that is pending, ActaMed has no reason to
suspect that such application for determination will be denied.  Nothing has
occurred since the date of any such determination that is reasonably likely to
affect adversely such qualification or exemption, or result in the imposition of
excise taxes or income taxes or unrelated business income under the Code or
ERISA with respect to any such Employee Benefit Plan.

                              (d)  ActaMed and the ERISA Affiliates do not
sponsor or contribute to, and have not in the past sponsored or contributed to,
and have no Liability with respect to, any defined benefit plan subject to Title
IV of ERISA or any multi-employer plan (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA). 
Neither ActaMed nor any ERISA Affiliate has any current or contingent obligation
to any multi-employer plan (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA). ActaMed does
not have any Liability with respect to any employee benefit plan or arrangement
other than with respect to the Employee Benefit Plans listed in DISCLOSURE
SCHEDULE 3.2.16.

                              (e)  There are no pending or, to the knowledge of
ActaMed, threatened claims by or on behalf of any such Employee Benefit Plans,
or by or on behalf of any individual participants or beneficiaries of any such
Employee Benefit Plans, alleging any violation of ERISA or any other Applicable
Regulations, or claiming benefit payments (other than those made in the ordinary
operation of such plans), nor is there, to the knowledge of ActaMed, any basis
for such claim.  Such Employee Benefit Plans are not the subject of any pending
(or to the knowledge of ActaMed, any threatened) investigation or audit by the
Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Department of Labor or the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation or any similar regulatory agency, foreign or domestic.


                                    -21-



                              (f)  ActaMed has timely made all required payments
and contributions under the Employee Benefit Plans including the payment of all
insurance premiums.  All such payments and contributions have been deducted
fully by ActaMed for federal income tax purposes.  Such deductions have not been
challenged or disallowed by any governmental entity and ActaMed has no reason to
believe that such deductions are not properly allowable.  ActaMed has not
incurred any Liability for any tax, excise tax, penalty or fee with respect to
any Employee Benefit Plan, and, to the best of ActaMed's knowledge, no event has
occurred and no circumstance exists or has existed that could give rise to any
such Liability.  

                              (g)  The execution of and performance of the
transactions contemplated by this Assets Purchase Agreement will not (either
alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) result in
any payment, acceleration, vesting or increase in benefits with respect to any
employee or former employee of ActaMed, including one that would be an "excess
parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code.

                              (h)  ActaMed does not maintain any plan or
arrangement that provides post retirement medical benefits, post retirement
death benefits or other post retirement welfare benefits, other than to the
extent required by Part 6 of Title I of ERISA.  

                              (i)  ActaMed does not maintain or contribute to,
nor has it in the past maintained or contributed to, any "welfare benefit fund"
(within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code).

                              (j)  Any Employee Benefit Plan that is a group
health plan (within the meaning of Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code) complies and
has been administered in material respects in accordance with all of the
applicable requirements of Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Title I of
ERISA, Title XXII of the Public Health Service Act, the Social Security Act and
all other applicable Regulations.

                              (k)  Any Employee Benefit Plan that is a group
health plan (within the meaning of Section 4980D(f)(1) of the Code) complies and
has been administered in material respects in accordance with all of the
applicable requirements of Subtitle K of the Code, Part 7 of Title I of ERISA, 
the Public Health Service Act and all other applicable Regulations, and

                              (l)  Neither ActaMed nor any ERISA Affiliate has
contributed to a non-conforming group health plan (as that term is defined in
Code section 5000(c)) or incurred any tax liability under Code section 5000(a).

                    3.2.17    COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.

                              (a)  ActaMed is in compliance with all applicable

materials or process by-products, except violations which, either 
individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  
ActaMed is not liable for any material penalties, fines or forfeitures for 
failure to comply with any of the foregoing.  All licenses, permits or 
registrations required for the ActaMed Business as presently conducted and 
proposed to be conducted, under any environmental Regulations have been or 
will, in a timely manner, be obtained or made, other than such licenses, 
permits or registrations as to which the failure to obtain or make, either

and ActaMed is in compliance therewith in all material respects.

                              (b)  No release, emission or discharge into the
environment of hazardous substances, as defined under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended, or
hazardous waste, as defined under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or
air pollutants as defined under the Clean Air Act, or pollutants, as defined
under the Clean Water Act, by ActaMed has occurred or is presently occurring on
or from any property owned or leased by ActaMed in excess of federal, state or
local permitted releases or reportable quantities, or other concentrations,
standards or limitations under the foregoing Regulations governing the
protection of health and the environment or under any other Regulations (then or
now applicable, as the case may be) other than such releases, emissions or
discharges, either individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.

                              (c)  To its knowledge, ActaMed has never (1)
owned, occupied or operated a site or structure on or in which any hazardous
substance was or is stored, transported or disposed of in violation of any
environmental Regulations at such time as such site or structure was owned,

arranged for the transportation of any hazardous substance other than in full
compliance with all applicable environmental Regulations governing the ActaMed
Business or the storage, transportation or disposal of hazardous substances
except for such violations as, either individually or in the aggregate, would
not have a Material Adverse Effect.  ActaMed has never caused or been held
legally responsible for any release or threatened release of any hazardous
substance, or received notification from any federal, state or other
governmental authority of any such release or threatened release, or that
ActaMed may be required to pay any costs or expenses incurred or to be incurred
in connection with any efforts to mitigate the environmental impact of any
release or threatened release, of any hazardous substance from any site or
structure owned, occupied or operated by ActaMed, except such releases or
threatened releases as, either individually or in the aggregate, would not have
a Material Adverse Effect.

Substantial Holder, or, to ActaMed's knowledge, any Affiliate of a Substantial
Holder, is directly or indirectly interested in any contract with ActaMed or any
of its Subsidiaries.

                    3.2.24    BROKERS OR FINDERS.  No broker, agent, finder or
consultant or other Person has been retained by or on behalf of ActaMed (other
than legal or accounting advisors), or is or may be entitled to be paid based
upon any agreements or understandings made by ActaMed in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.

                    3.2.25    FULL DISCLOSURE.  This Assets Purchase Agreement,
the other ActaMed Documents, and any report or financial statement referred to
in this Section 3.2 hereof and any certificate, report, statement or other
writing furnished to  SBCL by or on behalf of ActaMed in connection with the
negotiation of this Assets Purchase Agreement and the other ActaMed Documents
and the sale of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, taken as a whole, do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
with respect to which disclosure has been requested and which is necessary to
make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

                                  TRANSITION MATTERS


     SECTION 4.1    PRIOR TO REGION TRANSFER.

                    4.1.1     SBCL CONTINUED OPERATION.  Except (i) as 
contemplated by the Implementation Plan, (ii) with the prior written consent 
of ActaMed, or (iii) as necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by 
this Assets Purchase Agreement, SBCL shall, with respect to all SBCL Sites in 
each Region which has not been transferred, until the Applicable Transfer 
Date for the Region:

                              (a)  provide Lab EDI Services using the SCAN
Network in substantially the same manner as presently being conducted;

                              (b)  use its best efforts to preserve its present
relationships with Automated Providers and vendors; and

                              (c)  notify ActaMed of any development materially
and adversely affecting its ability to provide Lab EDI Services, and of any
governmental complaints, investigations or hearings (or written communications
indicating that the same is contemplated) or administrative proceedings,
involving its ability to provide Lab EDI Services, and permit its
representatives prompt access to all materials prepared in connection therewith.

                    4.1.2     SCAN EXPENSE STATEMENTS.  SBCL will cooperate with
ActaMed and Ernst & Young, or another of the "Big 6" national accounting firms
chosen by ActaMed and approved by SBCL ("CPA"), and provide CPA access to SBCL's
business and accounting records relating to SBCL's provision of Lab EDI Services
so that CPA may prepare audited financial statements, as of December 31, 1995,
December 31, 1996, and December 31, 1997, with respect to SBCL's provision of
such services, to the extent required for ActaMed to complete a registration of
the ActaMed Common Stock with the Securities Exchange Commission.  ActaMed will
be responsible for, and pay, the expense of said audit, and ActaMed and SBCL
shall use their collective best efforts to cause said audit to be completed on
or prior to April 30, 1998.

     SECTION 4.2    REGION TRANSITION MATTERS.

                    4.2.1     IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.  (a) As a further condition
precedent to the occurrence of the Region One Transfer Date, the parties have
prepared a detailed plan regarding the transition of SBCL Sites into ActaMed
Sites (the "IMPLEMENTATION PLAN"), a copy of which is attached hereto as
SCHEDULE 4.2.1.  SBCL's nominees to the Implementation Committee shall review
the Implementation Plan and shall notify ActaMed as to any proposed changes to
the Implementation Plan on or prior to January 15, 1998.  ActaMed shall
implement all such


                                    -26-



changes, except to the extent its designees to the Implementation Committee 
reasonably believe that any such change would materially impact ActaMed's 
ability to meet the Transfer Benchmarks or the Performance Standards (as 
defined in the Services Agreement), or would have a Material Adverse Effect 
on ActaMed.  If SBCL's designees to the Implementation Committee disagree 
with ActaMed's assessment of a proposed change, the dispute shall be resolved 
in accordance with the provisions of Article IX hereof.  The Implementation 
Plan shall continue in force, without any modification in respect of the 
disputed change, until resolution of the matter.

                              (b)  In the event of any conflict between the
terms of the Implementation Plan, on the one hand, and this Assets Purchase
Agreement, the Services Agreement, the License or the Development Agreement, on
the other, the terms of the relevant Transaction Document shall govern and
control over those of the Implementation Plan.  

                    4.2.2     IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE.  ActaMed and SBCL shall
form an implementation committee, consisting of an equal number of
representatives of ActaMed and SBCL (the "IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE"), authorized
and directed to (i) apply the Implementation Plan to each Region prior to it
being transferred to ActaMed, (ii) oversee, manage and implement the transition
of SBCL Sites into ActaMed Sites in accordance with the Implementation Plan;
(iii) revise and adapt the Implementation Plan to changing circumstances; and 
(iv) determine the steps to be taken by the parties in those instances where the
Implementation Plan does not address an issue or problem presented.  The
Implementation Committee shall initially be comprised of the people named on
SCHEDULE 4.2.2 hereto.  From such list, ActaMed and SBCL shall each designate
one person (each an "RELATIONSHIP MANAGER") who together will manage the
Implementation Committee. 

                    4.2.3     ASSISTANCE FROM SBCL.  SBCL will provide resources
to assist ActaMed in the transition of SBCL Sites to ActaMed Sites as more fully
provided in the Services Agreement.

     SECTION 4.3    GENERAL COVENANTS.

                    4.3.1     ACCESS TO PROPERTIES.  At all times prior to the
last Transfer Date, the Transferred Employees, attorneys, accountants, agents
and other authorized and designated representatives of ActaMed  will be allowed
upon reasonable advance notice and with minimal disruption to SBCL's business
operations, reasonable access to the properties, books and records of SBCL
relating to the SCAN Assets located at SBCL Sites, including without limitation,
title documents, leases, customer lists, and other data that, in the reasonable
opinion of both ActaMed and SBCL, are required for ActaMed to obtain such
information as it may reasonably request about the Transferred Employees or such
SCAN Assets.  ActaMed shall also be allowed reasonable opportunity to consult
with the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and agents of SBCL in
connection with such investigation. 


                                    -27-



                    4.3.2     OTHER OFFERS AND EXCLUSIVE DEALING.  Unless and
until notice of termination of this Assets Purchase Agreement prior to the last
Transfer Date pursuant to Article X hereof, SBCL shall not, acting in any
capacity, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee,
agent, affiliate or otherwise of SBCL, (a) solicit, initiate or encourage
submission of proposals or offers from any Person, corporation or other entity
for the primary or specific purpose of selling the SCAN Assets located at SBCL
Sites, or relating to the provision of Lab EDI Services to Automated Providers,
(b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or, except as
required by a legal or judicial process, furnish to any other Person,
corporation or other entity any information with respect to, or otherwise
cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage,
any effort or attempt by any other Person to purchase the SCAN Assets located at
SBCL Sites or to obtain the right to provide Lab EDI Services to Automated
Providers, or (c) approve or undertake any such transaction.  Nothing in this
Section 4.3.2 shall restrict what SBCL may otherwise do under the Services
Agreement.

                    4.3.3     CONSENTS AND APPROVALS.  SBCL will use its best 
efforts to obtain the waiver, consent and approval of all Persons whose 
waiver, consent or approval (a) is required in order to consummate the 
transactions contemplated by this Assets Purchase Agreement, or (b) is 
required by any Contract to be assumed by ActaMed, or by any Court Order or 
License to which SBCL is a party or subject on any Transfer Date in 
connection with the provision of Lab EDI Services, and which would prohibit, 
or require the waiver, consent or approval of such transactions, or under 
which such transactions would, without such waiver, consent or approval, 
constitute a Default under the provisions thereof, result in the acceleration 
of any obligation thereunder, or give rise to a right of any party thereto to 
terminate its obligations thereunder.  All written waivers, consents and 
approvals obtained by SBCL relating to a Region shall be provided to ActaMed 
on the Transfer Date relating to such Region in form and content reasonably 
satisfactory to ActaMed.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 
SBCL shall cause the [*] to sell to ActaMed in accordance with the terms and 
conditions of this Agreement the SCAN Assets located in Region Two on or 
prior to December 31, 1998.

               To the extent that SBCL's rights under any Contract or other SCAN
Asset to be assigned to ActaMed hereunder may not be assigned without the
consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Assets Purchase
Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted
assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful.  If notwithstanding
the best efforts of SBCL described above any such consent shall not be obtained,
or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair ActaMed's
rights under the SCAN Asset in question so that ActaMed would not in effect
acquire the benefit of all such rights, ActaMed to the maximum extent permitted
by law, shall act after the Applicable Transfer Date as SBCL's agent in order to
obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, with SBCL in any other reasonable arrangement designed to
provide such benefits to ActaMed.

                    4.3.4     PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS.  The parties hereto are in
the process of  jointly developing a plan (the "COMMUNICATION PLAN") for
communicating the transactions

[*] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

                                    -28-



contemplated by this Assets Purchase Agreement and the Services Agreement to 
Automated Providers, Transferred Employees and the public, a draft of which 
attached as SCHEDULE 4.3.4 hereto.  The parties agree to use their collective 
best efforts to complete the Communication Plan by January 6, 1998, and each 
party agrees to abide by such Communication Plan. Without limiting the 
foregoing, neither party shall send any communication to any Automated 
Providers or Transferred Employee describing, or otherwise in connection 
with, the transactions and relationships contemplated by this Agreement (and 
such other agreements) unless the form and content of such communication 
shall have been approved in advance by the other unless required by law or 
judicial process, in which case notification shall be given to the other 
party hereto prior to such disclosure.

                    4.3.5     STANDSTILL.  At all times prior to the last
Transfer Date, ActaMed shall not consummate, or enter into any agreement with
respect to a Sale of Assets (as that term is defined in the Articles), without
the prior written consent of SBCL.

                              If, at any time prior to the last Transfer 
Date, (i) ActaMed consummates any Merger, Share Exchange or Consolidation (as 
such terms are defined in the Articles) (a "Combination"); (ii) the holders 
of ActaMed stock immediately prior to the Combination are not the holders of 
a majority of the voting stock of the surviving company of the Combination, 
(iii) Michael K. Hoover no longer has (or has diminished) responsibility for 
overseeing and, directly or indirectly, managing the transfer of the Regions 
under Section 2.3, and (iv) the Transfer Date of any remaining Region does 
not occur as scheduled under Section 2.3, then SBCL may withhold [*] of the 
Fixed Fee (as defined in the Services Agreement) due on or after such 
scheduled date or dates until such time as all Regions have been transferred.

     SECTION 4.4    CONFIDENTIALITY OF TRADE SECRETS.  Each party hereto agrees
not to use, copy or disclose the Trade Secrets of the other party, except as
permitted by this Assets Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
Each party shall treat the other's Trade Secrets with at least that degree of
care it uses with respect to its own such Trade Secrets.  SBCL will give access
to its Trade Secrets relating to its provision of Lab EDI Services to those
ActaMed personnel who have a need for such access and to no other Person
whatsoever.  ActaMed will give access to its Trade Secrets relating to the
provision of Lab EDI Services to those SBCL personnel who have a need for such
access and to no other Person whatsoever.  The requirements herein contained
with respect to non-disclosure and non-use and protection of each party's Trade
Secrets shall permanently survive termination of any other provisions of this
Assets Purchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.  If any party is
ordered by a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body of
competent jurisdiction to disclose Trade Secrets, or if it is served with or
otherwise becomes aware of a motion or similar request that such an order be
issued, then such party will not be liable to the other party for disclosure of
Trade Secrets required by such order if the disclosing party complies with the
following requirements:  (1) if an already issued order calls for immediate
disclosure, then the disclosing party shall immediately move for or otherwise
request a stay of such order to permit the other

[*] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

                                    -29-



party to respond; (2) the disclosing party promptly notifies the other party 
of the motion or order; and (3) the disclosing party does not oppose a motion 
or similar request by the other party for an order protecting the Trade 
Secrets including joining or agreeing to (or non-opposition to) a motion for 
leave to intervene by such other party.  Notwithstanding anything to the 
contrary contained in this Assets Purchase Agreement, SBCL may disclose to 
the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human 
Services (the "OIG") as part of the disclosure SBCL makes under its Integrity 
Agreement the fact that SBCL and ActaMed have entered into the transactions 
contemplated by the parties and any information relating to such transaction 
or this Assets Purchase Agreement which SBCL determines, in good faith upon 
advice of counsel, is required or, in light of SBCL's obligations under the 
Integrity Agreement, appropriate for SBCL to make, or SBCL proposes to make 
in response to a request for such information from the OIG, provided that 
ActaMed shall be given opportunity (which shall be reasonable in light of all 
facts and circumstances) to review and comment upon the information SBCL 
intends to include in any such submission.  In the event that any such 
disclosure that SBCL intends to make includes any information that 
constitutes Trade Secrets of ActaMed, SBCL will provide reasonable (in light 
of all facts and circumstances, including the time frame in which such 
disclosure is required to be made) assistance to ActaMed to take reasonable 
steps to assure that such Trade Secrets of ActaMed are maintained in 
confidence, including, but not limited to, (i) requesting that the OIG treat 
such information as trade secrets within the meaning of the Freedom of 
Information Act, 5 U.S.C. Section 552(b)(4), (ii) requesting of the OIG that 
SBCL and ActaMed be given prior notice of an proposed release of such 
information to Persons or entities outside of the OIG; (iii) requesting that 
the OIG otherwise assure the confidentiality of the information provided by 
ActaMed as if such information was a Trade Secret of SBCL [*] and taking 
other reasonable steps that may be requested by ActaMed and to which SBCL 
may, in its sole discretion, agree to assure that the OIG honors its 
confidentiality obligations in that section; (iv) where such information is 
to be provided in response to a request by the OIG, take reasonable steps to 
narrow the request from the OIG in an appropriate manner in order to limit 
the amount of information, if any, that constitutes Trade Secrets of ActaMed 
covered by such request; and (v) make reasonable efforts to permit ActaMed, 
with the concurrence of the OIG, to disclose such information directly to the 
OIG, provided that in any such case, ActaMed shall give SBCL a timely 
opportunity to review, comment upon and approv the information ActaMed 
intends to include in such submission. The additional safeguards described in 
subsections (i) through (v) above are designed to help assure the 
confidentiality of the Trade Secrets, the disclosure of which would have a 
material adverse impact on ActaMed.  These additional provisions are not 
intended to interfere with SBCL's ability to meet its disclosure obligations 
under the Integrity Agreement.  Each party shall promptly notify the other in 
the event it receives an inquiry, investigation or request for information 
from the OIG or other governmental agency into the matters relating to the 
proposed transactions.  The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall apply in 
addition to similar provisions in the Services Agreement.

     SECTION 4.5    EFFORTS TO SATISFY CONDITIONS.  SBCL and ActaMed each agree
to use their respective best efforts to cause the Transfer Dates to occur as
currently scheduled.  In 

[*] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

                                    -30-




addition, SBCL agrees to use its best efforts to satisfy the conditions set 
forth in Section 7.1 hereof, and ActaMed agrees to use its best efforts to 
satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 hereof. In furtherance of the 
foregoing, each party will use its best efforts to take all commercially 
reasonable steps necessary or desirable and proceed diligently and in good 
faith to satisfy each condition to the obligations of the other party 
contained in this Assets Purchase Agreement and will not take or fail to take 
any commercially reasonable action that could reasonably be expected to 
result in the nonfulfillment of any such condition.  Each of ActaMed and SBCL 
further agrees to use its best efforts to (i) satisfy any conditions to the 
transfer of a Region set forth in Section 2.3, and (ii) deliver any and all 
documents to be delivered upon the transfer of a Region, as set forth in 
Sections 2.5 and 2.6.

     SECTION 4.6    EXPENSES.  Except as otherwise provided herein, each of 
the parties to this Assets Purchase Agreement shall bear its respective 
expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and 
performance of this Assets Purchase Agreement and the transactions 
contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of 
agents, representatives, counsel and accountants.

     SECTION 4.7    ANTITRUST NOTIFICATION.  The parties have filed with the 
United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of 
Justice the notification and report form required for the transactions 
contemplated hereby and any supplemental or additional information which was 
requested in connection therewith pursuant to the HSR Act.  The filing fee 
relating to such notification and report form will be borne equally.


                                      ARTICLE 5   

                              ACTAMED COVENANTS TO SBCL

     SECTION 5.1    ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF ACTAMED.  ActaMed covenants and 
agrees that:

                    5.1.1     SECURITIES LAW FILINGS.  From and after 
consummation of a Public Offering and for so long as a Permitted Owner holds 
any Conversion Shares, ActaMed will timely file the reports required to be 
filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the Regulations 
adopted by the SEC thereunder, to the extent required from time to time to 
enable the Permitted Owner to sell Conversion Shares without registration 
under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by 
(a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time 
to time, or (b) any similar Regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.  Upon 
the request of the Permitted Owner, ActaMed will deliver to the Permitted 
Owner a written statement as to whether it has complied with such 
requirements.

                    5.1.2     TRANSACTIONS WITH SUBSTANTIAL HOLDERS.  ActaMed 
shall not, directly or indirectly, knowingly enter into any material 
transaction or agreement with any of its Substantial Holders or any Affiliate 
or officer of ActaMed or a Substantial Holder, or a material 


                                     -31-



transaction or agreement in which a Substantial Holder or Affiliate or 
officer of ActaMed or a Substantial Holder has a direct or indirect interest, 
unless such transaction or agreement is on terms and conditions no less 
favorable to ActaMed or any of its Subsidiaries than could be obtained at the 
time in an arm's length transaction with a third Person that is not such a 
Substantial Holder or Affiliate or officer of ActaMed or a Substantial 
Holder, and such transaction or agreement has been reviewed and approved by a 
majority of those members of ActaMed's Board of Directors who have no such 
interest in the transaction.  Except as provided in Section 11.1.4, this 
Section shall not be enforceable against ActaMed by (i) any Person other than 
a Permitted Owner or (ii) any Person not a party to this Assets Purchase 
Agreement.

                    5.1.3     BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL COVENANTS.  ActaMed 
covenants that:

                              (a)  Except for shares issued (i) upon exercise 
of options granted in accordance with the Stock Option Plans, the Articles 
and the Stockholders Agreement, (ii) upon conversion of shares of Preferred 
Stock, (iii) in connection with a Public Offering,  (iv) upon exercise of the 
Warrant, or (v) as permitted under the Articles and the Stockholders 
Agreement, ActaMed will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries, to 
hereafter issue or sell any shares or any securities convertible into, or any 
warrants, rights, or options to purchase shares of, the capital stock of 
ActaMed or such Subsidiary to any Person other than ActaMed, and ActaMed will 
not pledge any of the capital stock of any Subsidiary to any Person.  ActaMed 
will not, in any event, issue or sell any shares of Series D Preferred Stock 
to any Person other than SBCL or its Affiliates.

                              (b)  Except as expressly permitted by the 
Articles or the Stockholders Agreement, ActaMed shall not (except for the 
advancement of money for expenses in the ordinary course of business) make, 
or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make, any loans or advances to any 
Person or have outstanding any investment in any Person, whether by way of 
loan or advance to, or by the acquisition of the capital stock, assets or 
obligations of,  or any other interest in, any Person.

                              (c)  Except as expressly permitted herein or by 
the Articles or the Stockholders Agreement, neither ActaMed nor any of its 
Subsidiaries shall declare or make (i) any payment or the incurrence of any 
Liability to make any payment in cash, property or other assets as a dividend 
or other distribution in respect of any shares of capital stock of ActaMed or 
any Subsidiary, excluding, however, any dividends payable to ActaMed by a 
Subsidiary or dividends which may be payable solely in ActaMed Common Stock 
or the common stock of  any Subsidiary and (ii) except as otherwise permitted 
by the Transaction Documents or a stock option agreement under the Stock 
Option Plans, any payment or the incurrence of any Liability to make any 
payment in cash, property or other assets for the purposes of purchasing, 
retiring or redeeming any shares of any class of capital stock of ActaMed or 
any Subsidiary or any warrants, options or other rights to purchase any such 
shares. 

                              (d)  Neither ActaMed nor any of its 
Subsidiaries will amend or change its articles of incorporation or bylaws, or 
violate or breach any of the provisions thereof.


                                     -32-



                              (e)  Without the consent of a majority of the 
Board of Directors:

                                    (i)      Other than debt in an amount no 
greater than $2,000,000 incurred to fund the cash portion of the Purchase 
Price, ActaMed shall not create, incur or suffer to exist, or permit any 
Subsidiary to create, incur or suffer to exist, any debt other than: (a) debt 
existing on the date hereof and included in the ActaMed Financial Statements 
or incurred in the ordinary course of business between the date of the 
ActaMed Financial Statements and the date hereof, and any renewals or 
replacements of such debt not exceeding the principal amount of the debt 
being replaced or renewed; and (b) debt not in excess of $1,000,000 in the 
aggregate in any one calendar year.

                                    (ii)     ActaMed shall not create or 
suffer to exist, or permit any Subsidiary to create or suffer to exist, any 
obligations for the payment of rent for any property under leases or 
agreements to lease, other than obligations for (a) the payment of rent 
which, in the aggregate, do not exceed $1,000,000 annually and (b) payments 
under leases set forth on DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE 3.2.19.

                                    (iii)    ActaMed shall not acquire, or 
permit any Subsidiary to acquire, directly or indirectly, the assets of or 
equity interests in any other business or entity, whether by purchase, merger 
consolidation or otherwise in excess of $1,000,000.

                                    (iv)     ActaMed shall not effect an 
initial Public Offering of any equity securities, other than equity 
securities issued in a merger, totaling less than $15,000,000 (before 
discounts and commissions) in gross proceeds to ActaMed, and at a per share 
price of less than 2.5 times the then existing conversion price of the Series 
A Preferred Stock.

                    5.1.4     CORPORATE EXISTENCE, BUSINESS, MAINTENANCE, 
INSURANCE.

                              (a)  ActaMed will at all times preserve and 
keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and rights and 
franchises deemed material to its business and those of its Subsidiaries, 
except any Subsidiary of ActaMed may be merged into ActaMed or another 
Subsidiary.

                              (b)  ActaMed shall engage solely in the 
business of developing healthcare information networks (with a principle 
focus on the provision of lab order entry and results reporting services) and 
businesses closely related thereto.  ActaMed (and any Subsidiary) will not 
purchase or acquire any property other than property useful in and related to 
such business.

                              (c)  ActaMed will maintain or cause to be 
maintained in good repair, working order and condition all properties used or 
useful in the business of ActaMed and any Subsidiary and from time to time 
will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, 


                                     -33-



renewals and replacements thereof.  ActaMed and any Subsidiary will at all 
times comply in all material respects with the provisions of all material 
leases to which it is a party or under which it occupies property so as to 
prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.

                              (d)  ActaMed will maintain or cause to be 
maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, appropriate 
insurance with respect to its properties and business and the properties and 
business of any Subsidiary against loss or damage.

During the Transitional Employee Leasing Arrangement period, ActaMed shall 
require, as a condition of the continued employment of each Transferred 
Employee, that each Transferred Employee report to SBCL, and continue to

                    7.2.5     GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS.  All governmental and
other consents and approvals, if any, necessary to permit the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Assets Purchase Agreement shall have been
received by SBCL.

                                      ARTICLE 8   

                SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

                                 AND INDEMNIFICATION

     SECTION 8.1    SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.

                    8.1.1     SURVIVAL OF SBCL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES 
AND COVENANTS. ActaMed and SBCL acknowledge and agree that, as contemplated 
by Section 4.3.1, prior to each of the Transfer Dates, ActaMed intends to 
perform such investigation of the SCAN Assets to be transferred on such 
Transfer Date and related Lab EDI Services provided by SBCL as ActaMed may 
deem appropriate; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no investigation by ActaMed shall 
diminish or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, 
covenants or agreements made or to be performed by SBCL pursuant to this 
Assets Purchase Agreement or ActaMed's right to rely fully upon such 
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.  All such 
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made or to be performed 
by SBCL pursuant to this Assets Purchase Agreement shall survive the 
execution and delivery hereof and each of the Transfer Dates hereunder 
indefinitely except to the extent limited by this Section 8.1.1.  The 
representations and warranties shall terminate and expire, (a) with respect 
to any General Claim based on a breach thereof (other than one based on a 
breach of Section 3.1.3 hereof) with respect to which a Claims Notice has not 
been given, after [*] from the Transfer Date of the SCAN Assets as to which 
the representation and warranty was made, (b) with respect to any General 
Claim based upon a breach of Section 3.1.3 hereof, after the earlier of (i) 
[*] or (ii) [*] days after the Region Four Transfer Date, and (c) with 
respect to a Tax Claim, on the later of (i) the [*] after the date upon which 
the Liability to which any such Tax Claim may relate is barred by all 
applicable statutes of limitation and (ii) the [*] after the date upon which 
any claim for refund or credit related to such Tax Claim is barred by all 
applicable statutes of limitation.  A Claims Notice for a General Claim based 
on a breach of covenant may be given at any time up to the [*] of the date on 
which the breach of such covenant occurred.  With respect to any Ownership 
Claim, Undisclosed Liability Claim or any type of claim not specifically 
addressed

[*] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

                                     -43-



above, such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall 
survive without limit of time.

                    8.1.2     SURVIVAL OF ACTAMED REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES 
AND COVENANTS. All the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, 
made or to be performed by ActaMed  pursuant to this Assets Purchase 
Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof indefinitely except 
to the extent limited by this Section 8.1.2.   No investigation by SBCL shall 
diminish or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, 
covenants or agreements made or to be performed by ActaMed pursuant to this 
Assets Purchase Agreement or SBCL's right to rely fully upon such 
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.  All such 
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall be considered to 
have been relied upon by SBCL and shall survive the delivery to SBCL of the 
shares of Series D Preferred Stock (and the Conversion Shares).  The 
representations and warranties shall terminate and expire (a) with respect to 
a General Claim based on a breach thereof for which a Claims Notice has not 
been given, after [*] from the Transfer Date with respect to which such 
representation and warranty was made, (b) with respect to a Tax Claim, on the 
later of (i) the [*] after the date upon which the Liability to which any 
such Tax Claim may relate is barred by all applicable statutes of limitation 
and (ii) the [*] after the date upon which any claim for refund or credit 
related to such Tax Claim is barred by all applicable statutes of limitation 
and (c) with respect to the covenants of ActaMed set forth in Sections 5.1.3 
and 5.1.6 hereof, upon the closing of a Public Offering.  A Claims Notice for 
a General Claim based on a breach of covenant may be given at any time up to 
the [*] of the date on which the breach of such covenant occurred.  With 
respect to any Ownership Claim, Undisclosed Liability Claim or any type of 
claim not specifically addressed above, such representations, warranties, 
covenants and agreements shall survive without limit of time.

     SECTION 8.2    OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY.

                    8.2.1     OBLIGATIONS OF SBCL TO INDEMNIFY.  Subject to the
limitations of Sections 8.1.1, 8.2.6 and 8.2.9, SBCL agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each ActaMed Indemnitee against and in respect of:

                              (a)  all Losses imposed upon or incurred by any
ActaMed Indemnitee by reason of or resulting from:

                                   (i)    a breach of any representation or
warranty of  SBCL contained in or made pursuant to this Assets Purchase
Agreement other than the representation contained in Section 3.1.3(a); or 

                                   (ii)   any nonfulfillment of any covenant or
agreement of SBCL contained in or made pursuant to this Assets Purchase
Agreement; or

                                   (iii)  any Liability of SBCL not assumed by
ActaMed hereunder, including without limitation any Liability for any Taxes
attributable to ownership of 

[*] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

                                     -44-



SCAN Assets or SBCL's provision of Lab EDI Services in a Region prior to its 
Transfer Date in accordance herewith. 

                              (b)  any and all actions, suits, claims,
proceedings, investigations, demands, assessments, audits, fines, judgments,
costs and other expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees
and expenses) incident to any Loss in connection with Section 8.2.1(a) or to the
enforcement of this Section 8.2.1; 

                              (c)  all Losses imposed upon or incurred by any
ActaMed Indemnitee by reason of or resulting from any Litigation pending or
threatened, arising out of or relating to the provision of Lab EDI Services at
an SBCL Site hereunder, regardless of whether it is disclosed in any Section of
the Disclosure Schedule called for by Section 3.1 or Section 2.5.2 hereof;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER that, to the extent that any such Loss arises out of the
actions of a Transferred Employee, SBCL shall only be obligated to indemnify and
hold harmless an ActaMed Indemnitee hereunder if such Transferred Employee was
acting subject to SBCL's general oversight and guidance pursuant to Section 6.2
hereof.

                    8.2.2     OBLIGATION OF ACTAMED TO INDEMNIFY.  Subject to
the limitations of Section 8.1.2 and Section 8.2.6, ActaMed agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each SBCL Indemnitee against and in respect of:

                              (a)  all Losses imposed upon or incurred by any
SBCL Indemnitee by reason of or resulting from:

                                   (i)    a breach of any representation or
warranty of ActaMed contained in or made pursuant to this Assets Purchase
Agreement; or 

                                   (ii)   any nonfulfillment of any covenant or
agreement of ActaMed contained in or made pursuant to this Assets Purchase
Agreement; and

                                   (iii)  any Liability of ActaMed (other than
a Liability indemnified by SBCL pursuant to Section 8.2.1) attributable to
ownership of SCAN Assets or ActaMed's provision of Lab EDI Services in a Region
after its Transfer Date in accordance herewith; PROVIDED that if the Services
Agreement provides for indemnification for any such Liability, then no such
claim shall be brought hereunder. 

                              (b)  any and all actions, suits, claims,
proceedings, investigations, demands, assessments, audits, fines, judgments,
costs and other expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees
and expenses) incident to any Loss in connection with Section 8.2.2(a) or to the
enforcement of this Section 8.2.2.

                              (c)  all Losses imposed upon or incurred by any
SBCL Indemnitee by reason of or resulting from any Litigation pending or
threatened, arising out of or relating to use of SCAN Assets at an ActaMed Site


                                     -45-



after such site became an ActaMed Site hereunder, regardless of whether it is 
disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule by reason of Section 3.2 or Section 
2.6.3 hereof.

                              (d)  all Losses imposed upon or incurred by SBCL
by reason of SBCL premises being used by Transferred Employees on or after the
Hire Date.

                    8.2.3     CLAIMS NOTICE.  A Claim shall be made by any
Indemnitee by delivery of a Claims Notice to the Indemnifying Party requesting
indemnification and specifying the basis on which indemnification is sought and
the amount of asserted Losses and, in the case of a Third Party Claim,
containing (by attachment or otherwise) such other information as such
Indemnitee shall have concerning such Third Party Claim.  

                    8.2.4     PROCEDURES INVOLVING NON-THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.  If
the Claim involves a matter other than a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall have forty-five (45) days to object to such Claim by delivery of a
written notice of such objection to such Indemnitee specifying in reasonable
detail the basis for such objection.  If an objection is timely made by the
Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee shall cooperate in
the compromise of the Claim with ultimate resolution of the validity of such
Claim to be determined under Article IX.  Failure to object in a timely manner
shall constitute a final and binding acceptance of the Claim by the Indemnifying
Party on behalf of all Indemnitors, and the Claim shall be paid in accordance
with Section 8.2.8 hereof.

                    8.2.5     PROCEDURES INVOLVING THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.  The
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereunder with respect to a Third
Party Claim shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

                              (a)  The Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying
Party written notice of a Third Party Claim promptly after receipt by the
Indemnitee of notice thereof, and the Indemnifying Party may undertake the
defense, compromise and settlement thereof by representatives of its own
choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.  The failure of the Indemnitee
to notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have with respect to such claim
except to the extent the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of
such claim is prejudiced by such failure.  The assumption of the defense,
compromise and settlement of any such Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying
Party shall be an acknowledgment of the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to
indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such claim hereunder.  If the
Indemnitee desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense,
compromise and settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense.  If,
however, the Indemnifying Party fails or refuses to undertake the defense of
such Third Party Claim within ten (10) days after written notice of such claim
has been given to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall
have the right to undertake the defense, compromise and settlement of such claim
with counsel of its own choosing. In the circumstances described in the
preceding sentence, the Indemnitee shall, promptly upon its assumption of the
defense of such claim, make a Claim as specified in 


                                      -46-



Section 8.2.1(b) or 8.2.2(b) which shall be deemed a Claim that is not a 
Third Party Claim for the purposes of the procedures set forth herein.

                              (b)  If, in the reasonable opinion of the
Indemnitee, any Third Party Claim or the litigation or resolution thereof
involves an issue or matter which could have a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, assets, properties or prospects of the Indemnitee
(including, without limitation, the administration of the tax returns and
responsibilities under the tax laws of the Indemnitee), the Indemnitee shall
have the right to control the defense, compromise and settlement of such Third
Party Claim undertaken by the Indemnifying Party, and the reasonable costs and
expenses of the Indemnitee in connection therewith shall be included as part of
the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.  If the
Indemnitee shall elect to exercise such right, the Indemnifying Party shall have
the right to participate in, but not control, the defense, compromise and
settlement of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense.

                              (c)  No settlement of a Third Party Claim
involving the asserted liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article
shall be made without the prior written consent by or on behalf of the
Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such a Third Party Claim, (1)
no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party
without the Indemnitee's consent unless (a) there is no finding or admission of
any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect
on any other claim that may be made against the Indemnitee (b) the sole relief
provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and
(c) the compromise or settlement includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the
giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, from all liability in
respect of such Third Party Claim, and (2) the Indemnitee shall have no
liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without
its consent.

                    8.2.6     LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION.

                              (a)  No Party to this Assets Purchase Agreement
shall be entitled to indemnification under this Assets Purchase Agreement to the
extent that such Party's Losses are increased or extended by the willful
misconduct, violation of law or bad faith of such Party.

                              (b)  No Indemnifying Party shall be required to 
indemnify an Indemnitee with respect to any Loss arising out of or with 
respect to a Claim unless the amount of such Loss, when aggregated with all 
other such Losses, shall (i) exceed [*], at which time Claims may be asserted 
to the extent that all Losses or Asserted Liabilities are in excess of such 
threshold amount; PROVIDED, however, that such threshold amount shall not 
apply to any (a) Loss which results from or arises out of an Ownership Claim, 
a Tax Claim or Undisclosed Liability Claim, (b) Loss which results from or 
arises out of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or an intentional breach 
of a representation, 

[*] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

                                     -47-



warranty, covenant or agreement in this Assets Purchase Agreement; (c) Claim 
which is based upon Section 8.2.1(a)(iii) or 8.2.2(a)(iii) or (d) Loss which 
results from or arises out of any Litigation incident to any of the matters 
referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b); and (ii) be less than [*], 
PROVIDED that such cap shall not apply to (a) a General Claim which is based 
upon a breach by SBCL of its representations and warranties set forth in 
Sections 3.1.7(a) or (b) hereof or a breach of its covenant set forth in 
Section 4.4 hereof, (b) a General Claim which is based upon a breach by 
ActaMed of its representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.2.14 or a 
breach of its covenant set forth in Section 4.4 hereof, or (c) a Claim which 
is based upon Section 8.2.1(a)(iii) or 8.2.2(a)(iii).  Notwithstanding the 
foregoing, for any breach of Section 3.1.6(a)-(c), SBCL shall indemnify each 
ActaMed Indemnitee for any individual Loss in excess of [*] per item of 
tangible personal property and any aggregate Loss exceeding [*] for items of 
tangible personal property. 

                    8.2.7     NO RELEASE FOR FRAUD.  Nothing contained in this
Assets Purchase Agreement shall relieve or limit the liability of any Party or
any officer or director of such Party from any Liability arising out of or
resulting from common law fraud or intentional misrepresentation in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Assets Purchase Agreement or in
connection with the delivery of any of the Transaction Documents.  Each Party
shall have a right to indemnification for any Loss incurred as the result of any
common law fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any other Party or any
officer or director of such other Party without regard to the Threshold Amount,
the maximum liability or any period of limitation.

                    8.2.8     PAYMENT.

                              (a)  If any Party is required to make any payment
under this Article, such Party shall promptly pay the Indemnified Party the
amount so determined.  If there is a dispute as to the amount or manner of
determination of any indemnity obligation owed under this Article, the
Indemnifying Party shall nevertheless pay when due such portion, if any, of the
obligation as shall not be subject to dispute.  The difference, if any, between
the amount of the obligation ultimately determined as properly payable under
this Article and the portion, if any, theretofore paid shall bear interest as
provided in Section 8.2.8(c).

                              (b)  Any items as to which an Indemnified Party is
entitled to payment under this Article may be paid by set-off against amounts
payable to the Indemnifying Party to the extent that such amounts are sufficient
to pay such items.

                              (c)  If all or part of any indemnification
obligation under this Assets Purchase Agreement is not paid when due, then the
Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party interest on the unpaid
principal amount of the obligation from the date the amount became due until
payment in full, at the per annum rate of interest announced from time to time
by NationsBank South, N.A., to be its "prime rate."

                    8.2.9   SPECIAL INDEMNITY AS TO PROJECTIONS. 
Notwithstanding Section 8.2.6(b), SBCL shall pay to ActaMed any amount by 
which (x) the aggregate general expenses incurred by ActaMed for goods and 
services reflected on SCHEDULE 3.1.3 under the Subtotals [*] in connection 
with ActaMed's provision of Lab EDI Services to the Fixed Fee Sites (as 
defined in the Services Agreement), taking into account that the Projections 
are based on [*] SCAN Sites, the number of SCAN Sites actually transferred to 
ActaMed and the staging of their transfer, excluding one-time or 
transactional expenses (which amount shall include any expenses incurred with 
respect to this transaction), and less any increased expenses incurred as a 
result of providing the Agreed Services (as defined in the Services 
Agreement) in a different manner than SBCL did prior to the transfer of such 
SCAN Sites exceeds (y) [*] of the Projections.

                    8.2.10  EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.  Except for equitable remedies 
and any action for common law fraud, the remedies provided in this Article 
constitute the sole and exclusive remedies for recovery against the 
Indemnifying Party based upon this Assets Purchase Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE 9

                              DISPUTE RESOLUTION

     SECTION 9.1  INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  Any dispute between the 
parties arising out of or with respect to this Assets Purchase Agreement, 
either with respect to the interpretation of any provision of this Assets 
Purchase Agreement or with respect to the performance by ActaMed or SBCL, 
shall be resolved as provided in this Article.

                    9.1.1   INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  Prior to the 
initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures, the parties shall first 
attempt to resolve their dispute informally, as follows:

                             (a)  The Relationship Managers for each Party 
shall meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such dispute.  They 
shall meet as often as the parties reasonably deem necessary in order to 
gather and furnish to the other all information with respect to the matter in 
issue which the parties believe to be appropriate and germane in connection 
with its resolution.  The Relationship Managers shall discuss the problem and 
negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute without the 
necessity of any formal proceeding.  During the course of negotiations, all 
reasonable requests made by one Party to another for nonprivileged 
information, reasonably related to this Assets Purchase Agreement, shall be 
honored in order that each of the parties may be fully advised of the other's 
position.

                             (b)  If, within fifteen (15) days after a matter 
has been identified for resolution pursuant to this Article, either of the 
Relationship Managers concludes in good faith that amicable resolution 
through continued negotiation in this forum does not appear likely, 

[*] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

                                     -49-



the matter will be escalated by formal written notification to the SBCL 
President and the ActaMed President.  The Parties will use their respective 
best efforts to cause the SBCL President and the ActaMed President to meet to 
attempt to resolve the dispute.

                             (c)  Formal proceedings for the resolution of a 
dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of: (i) the date on which the 
SBCL President and the ActaMed President conclude in good faith that amicable 
resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear 
likely; or (ii) thirty (30) days after the dispute has been referred to the 
SBCL President and the ActaMed President.

                    9.1.2  FORMAL PROCEEDINGS PERMITTED.  The provisions of 
this Section 9.1 shall not be construed to prevent a party from instituting, 
and a party being authorized to institute, formal proceedings earlier to 
avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period or any period 
provided for in Section 8.1.

     SECTION 9.2  ARBITRATION.  If the parties are unable to resolve any 
controversy arising under this Assets Purchase Agreement as contemplated by 
Section 9.1 and if such controversy is not subject to Article VIII or Section 
9.3, then such controversy shall be submitted to mandatory and binding 
arbitration at the election of either party (the "Disputing Party") pursuant 
to the following conditions:

                    9.2.1  SELECTION AND REPLACEMENT OF ARBITRATORS.  The 
Disputing Party shall notify the AAA and the other party in writing 
describing in reasonable detail the nature of the dispute (the "DISPUTE 
NOTICE").  Each of the parties shall select a neutral arbitrator in 
accordance with the rules of AAA, and the two arbitrators so selected shall 
select a third neutral arbitrator (the three arbitrators referred to in this 
Section being hereinafter referred to as the "PANEL").

                    9.2.2  CONDUCT OF ARBITRATION.  The Panel shall allow 
reasonable discovery as permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to 
the extent consistent with the purpose of the arbitration.  The panel shall 
have no power or authority to amend or disregard any provision of this 
Section.  The arbitration hearing shall be commenced promptly and conducted 
expeditiously, with each of ActaMed and SBCL being allocated one-half of the 
time for the presentation of its case.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the 
parties, an arbitration hearing shall be conducted on consecutive days.

                    9.2.3  REPLACEMENT OF ARBITRATOR.  Should an arbitrator 
refuse or be unable to proceed with arbitration proceedings as called for by 
this Section, such arbitrator shall be replaced by an arbitrator selected in 
accordance with the rules of the AAA.

                    9.2.4  FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS.  The Panel rendering 
judgment upon disputes between parties as provided in this Section shall, 
after reaching judgment and award, prepare and distribute to the parties a 
writing describing the findings of fact and conclusions of law relevant to 
such judgment and award and containing an opinion setting forth the reasons 
for 

                                     -50-



the giving or denial of any award.  The award of the Panel shall be final and 
binding on the parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in a court of 
competent jurisdiction.

                    9.2.5  PLACE OF ARBITRATION HEARINGS.  Arbitration 
hearings hereunder shall be held in Washington, D.C.

                    9.2.6  TIME OF THE ESSENCE.  The Panel is instructed that 
time is of the essence in the arbitration proceeding.  The Panel shall render 
its judgment or award within fifteen (15) days following the conclusion of 
the hearing.  Recognizing the express desire of the parties for an 
expeditious means of dispute resolution, the Panel shall limit or allow the 
parties to expand the scope of discovery as may be reasonable under the 
circumstances.

     SECTION 9.3  LITIGATION.

                    9.3.1  IMMEDIATE INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.  In the event of a 
breach of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Assets Purchase 
Agreement, or in the event a party makes a good faith determination that a 
breach of the terms of this Assets Purchase Agreement by the other party is 
such that the damages to such party resulting from the breach will be so 
immediate, so large or severe, and so incapable of adequate redress after the 
fact that a temporary restraining order or other immediate injunctive relief 
is a necessary remedy, then such party may file a pleading with a court 
seeking immediate injunctive relief.  If a party files a pleading with a 
court seeking immediate injunctive relief and this pleading is challenged by 
the other party and the injunctive relief sought is not awarded in 
substantial part (or in the event of a temporary restraining order is vacated 
upon challenge by the other party), the party filing the pleading seeking 
immediate injunctive relief shall pay all of the costs and attorneys' fees of 
the party successfully challenging the pleading.

                    9.3.2  JURISDICTION.  ActaMed and SBCL each consent to 
venue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of 
competent Pennsylvania state courts or federal courts located in Philadelphia 
for all litigation which may be brought, subject to the requirement for

any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental or 
regulatory agency binding on ActaMed or SBCL which prohibits or restrains

Assets Purchase Agreement, provided that ActaMed and SBCL shall have used

                            (f)  by SBCL if SBCL terminates the Services

                    10.1.2  NOTICE OF TERMINATION.  Notice of termination of

not be assignable by any of the parties hereto without the written consent of

permitted pursuant to clause (b) above shall execute and deliver to ActaMed 
an instrument satisfactory to it agreeing to be bound by the provisions

                                 TRANSFER BENCHMARKS

CLIENT SATISFACTION MEASUREMENTS

     ActaMed will provide such level of satisfactory Agreed Services (as 
defined in the Services Agreement) measured as set forth below.  The 
following "Transfer Benchmarks" will be used as the measurement for 
proceeding to the transfer of Region Two Sites, Region Three Sites and Region 
Four Sites.

REQUISITION VOLUME

     The first Transfer Benchmark shall be sustaining the monthly average 
number of Requisitions on a per-Site basis.  More specifically, ActaMed shall 
measure each month the volume of Requisitions for the ActaMed Sites in each 
Transferred Region.  It shall then calculate the average monthly per-Site 
Requisition volume.  This calculated average shall then be compared (i) to 
the mean of the average monthly per-Site Requisition volumes for the same 
Region for the twelve months immediately preceding the month for which the 
measurement was made and (ii) to the mean of the average monthly per-Site 
Requisition volumes for all non-Transferred Regions during the same time 
period.  If ActaMed's average monthly per-Site Requisition volume for the 
measured period, as adjusted for seasonality, is within 90% of each of (i) 
and (ii), above, then ActaMed will have met this benchmark.

     For Region One, SBCL shall provide within thirty (30) days after the 
Region One Transfer Date the monthly Requisitions and Sites for 
January-December 1997. For all other Regions, the monthly Requisitions and 
Sites for the twelve months prior to the Applicable Transfer Date shall be 
provided on the Applicable Transfer Date.

CUSTOMER SURVEYS

     The second Transfer Benchmark shall be sustaining levels of support and 
client acceptance satisfactory to SBCL, in its reasonable discretion, 
determined by comparing Transfer Surveys of the Automated Providers in each 
Transferred Region to a corresponding Initial Survey for such Automated 
Providers.

     The Initial Survey shall be a survey, in a format and with content 
approved by SBCL in advance, which shall be performed by ActaMed within 
thirty (30) days after each Transfer Date.  Such survey shall solicity 
performance and service-related comments from the Automated Providers about 
SBCL's provision of Lab EDI Services for that Region.  The initial survey 
shall be sent to ten percent (10%) of the Sites in each Region, selected at 
random by ActaMed.

     The Transfer Surveys for each Region shall be identical to the Initial 
Survey for such Region and shall be sent to the same Automated Providers, to 
the greatest extent possible, as the Initial




Survey (and to replacement Automated Providers where not possible).  The 
Transfer Surveys shall solicit performance and service-related comments from 
the Automated Providers about ActaMed's provision of Lab EDI Services for 
each Region.  The Transfer Surveys shall be performed for each applicable 
Region within thirty (30) days prior to the each scheduled Transfer Date; 
provided, that a Transfer Survey for a given Region shall only solicit 
information pertaining to the period between the last Transfer Date and the 
next scheduled Transfer Date.

CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS

     The third and final Transfer Benchmark will be the absence of a material 
number (materiality to be determined by SBCL in its reasonable discretion 
relative to the frequency and severity of complaints) of documented problems 
and Automated Providers ceasing to do business with SBCL Labs citing issues 
related to Lab EDI Services provided by ActaMed.  SBCL will provide ActaMed 
with copies of any such documented problems within fifteen (15) days of their 
receipt.

            SECTION 5.1  ADDITIONAL COVENANTS.  ActaMed and
            Healtheon, as applicable, covenant and agree as
            follows:

                    5.1.1  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. For so
            long as either (i) SBCL is a stockholder of Healtheon
            or any successor to this agreement or (ii) the Services
            Agreement (or any successor agreement for Lab EDI
            Services), including all extensions and renewals
            thereof, remains in effect, Healtheon shall not,
            directly or indirectly, knowingly enter into any
            material transaction or agreement with any of its
            Affiliates, or a material transaction or agreement in
            which an Affiliate of Healtheon has a direct or
            indirect interest, unless such transaction or agreement
            is on terms and conditions no less favorable to
            Healtheon or any of its Subsidiaries than could be
            obtained at the time in an arm's length transaction
            with a third Person that is not such an Affiliate, or
            unless such transaction or agreement has been reviewed
            and approved by either a majority of those members of
            Healtheon's 

                                     -5-



            Board of Directors who have no such interest in the 
            transaction or a majority of the shareholders, 
            voting in good faith.  This Section is in 
            furtherance and not in limitation of Healtheon's 
            obligations under Section 144 of the Delaware 
            Corporation Law.

                    5.1.2  CORPORATE EXISTENCE, BUSINESS,
            MAINTENANCE, INSURANCE.  For so long as the Services
            Agreement (or any successor agreement for Lab EDI
            Services), including all extensions and renewals
            thereof, remains in effect:

                           (a)  Neither Healtheon nor ActaMed will
            enter into any agreement for the disposition of all or
            substantially all of the assets used in the provision
            of Lab EDI Services, including by way of a merger,
            consolidation, share exchange, or, in the case of
            Healtheon, sale of the capital stock of ActaMed, if
            such a sale will have a material impact on the
            provision of Lab EDI Services.

                           (b)  Healtheon, either independently or
            through ActaMed, shall continue to engage in the
            business of developing information networks (with a
            meaningful focus on the provision of lab order entry
            and results reporting services as one of Healtheon's
            core businesses) and businesses related thereto.

                           (c)  ActaMed and Healtheon will maintain
            or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order
            and condition all properties used in the business of
            Healtheon and any Subsidiary related to the provision
            of Lab EDI Services and from time to time will make or
            cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and
            replacements thereof.  Healtheon and any such
            Subsidiary will at all times comply in all material
            respects with the provisions of all material leases to
            which it is a party or under which it occupies property
            related to the provision of Lab EDI Services so as to
            prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.

                           (d)  Healtheon will maintain or cause to
            be maintained, with financially sound and reputable
            insurers, insurance in amounts approved by Healtheon's
            Board of Directors with respect to its properties and
            business and the properties and business of any
            Subsidiary against loss or damage.

            SECTION 5.2.  INFORMATIONAL COVENANTS OF HEALTHEON. 
            Healtheon covenants and agrees that it shall deliver
            the following information to SBCL so long as the
            Services Agreement remains in effect (including any
            extensions or renewal thereof) or until such time as

            such due date shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                    5.2.3.  INSPECTION.  Except as provided in

            more frequently than two (2) times per year, Healtheon
            shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, permit SBCL

            Subsidiary,

                           (b)  to make copies and take extracts
            from any thereof,

            and accounts of Healtheon or such Subsidiary with
            Healtheon's or such Subsidiary's officers and

            to discuss with SBCL and its representatives, agents or
            attorneys the finances and accounts of Healtheon or
            such Subsidiary), and

            times and on reasonable notice during normal business
            hours, the properties of Healtheon and any Subsidiary.  

            Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,
            the provisions of this Section 5.2.3 are in addition to
            any rights which SBCL may have as a Healtheon
            stockholder under the Delaware Corporation Law and
            shall in no way limit such rights.

            The expenses of SBCL in connection with any such
            inspection shall be for the account of SBCL. 
            Notwithstanding the foregoing 

                                     -7-



            sentence, it is understood and agreed by Healtheon 
            that all reasonable expenses incurred by Healtheon 
            or such Subsidiary, any officers, employees or 
            agents thereof or the independent certified public 
            accountants therefor, shall be expenses payable by 
            Healtheon and shall not be expenses of SBCL.

            not have the right to inspect, receive, review or
            otherwise have access to any information or documents
            which, in the reasonable opinion of Healtheon's counsel
            would constitute any of the following: (i) a waiver of
            the attorney-client privilege; (ii) the disclosure of
            any third-party confidential or proprietary
            information, disclosure of which is restricted by a

            (iii) the disclosure of any confidential or proprietary
            information of Healtheon or any of its affiliated

            Board of Directors of Healtheon, SBCL or its affiliates
            compete (collectively, the "Excluded Information").  

            Notwithstanding Section 5.2.4 above, in the event of a
            Change of Control of Healtheon by an Acquirer that has
            a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act
            (a "Public Company"), SBCL shall no longer have the
            information rights set forth in this Section 

                                     -9-



            5.25.  In the event of a Change in Control of 
            Healtheon by an Acquirer (other than a Public 
            Company) that is a direct competitor of SBCL, SBCL 
            shall continue to have the information rights set 
            forth in Section 5.2.4, but only insofar as the 
            information to be obtained upon the exercise of 
            such rights relates to Lab EDI Services provided, 
            to be provided, or alleged by SBCL to have been 
            required to be provided, by ActaMed or Healtheon. 
            For purposes of this Section 5.2.5, a "Change of 
            Control" shall mean the sale or other transfer in a 
            single transaction or series of related 
            transactions to a person or group of affiliated 
            persons (the "Acquiror") of shares of Healtheon 
            Common Stock representing more than 50% of the 
            voting power of all Healtheon Common Stock then 
            outstanding.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations of this
            Section 5.2.5, independent auditors retained by SBCL
            shall have the right to review any Excluded Information
            which, in their reasonable opinion, is necessary to
            determine or confirm (i) the amount of royalties
            payable to SBCL under the License Agreement by reason
            of connectivity between Providers and commercial
            laboratories other than SBCL Labs or (ii) the revenues
            of ActaMed for purposes of Section 1.6 hereof.

                    5.2.6  CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS.  Subject to
            Section 4.4, all information disclosed to or obtained
            by SBCL pursuant to this Section 5.2 (including any
            Excluded Information which may be inadvertently
            disclosed to or obtained by SBCL hereunder) shall be
            deemed to be the confidential information of Healtheon
            and SBCL agrees that it shall treat such information
            with the same degree of care that it uses to protect
            its own confidential information of a similar nature
            and shall only disclose such information to those
            employees of SBCL who have a need to know such
            information in order to enforce SBCL's rights under
            this Agreement and the License Agreement.  In the event
            that SBCL obtains any copies of any Excluded
            Information, SBCL shall promptly return all copies of
            such information to Healtheon upon request or promptly
            after the SBCL employees in possession of Excluded
            Information gain actual knowledge that it is Excluded
            Information."
