FDI Corporation or FDI Information (whether involving a governmental authority,

other facts or circumstances known to FDI Corporation or FDI Information or any
of its officers or directors which are reasonably likely to give rise to the
same in the foreseeable future. Neither FDI Corporation or FDI Information is

court or governmental or regulatory authority or arbitrator,
-10-
11
which affects or which might affect any of the Assets or which might interfere
with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. Nothing has come to the
attention of FDI Corporation or FDI Information that suggests to FDI Corporation

latent employment related health defect or any severance or termination action.

products or services of the FDI Business. FDI Corporation and FDI Information
represent that their prior cost of performing any warranty obligations is as set
forth in the Financial Statements. Neither FDI Corporation or FDI Information
has any reason to believe that the cost of performing warranty obligations to
customers of the FDI Business for which warranty adjustments can be expected
during unexpired warranty periods which extend beyond the date hereof will be
higher than the cost of performing warranty obligations to customers of such
products and services which the FDI Parties have sold and performed for in the
past, provided that Neoforma provides support to the customers of the FDI
Business in a manner and at a level consistent with the practices followed by
the FDI Parties historically. Neither FDI Corporation or FDI Information has

approvals of all Governmental Agencies (the "PERMITS") that are required for it

sole expense, on its own behalf and with counsel of its own choosing. In such
defense or settlement, the FDI Parties shall cooperate with and assist Neoforma,
and the FDI Parties may participate therein to the maximum extent reasonably
possible with their own counsel. Any payment resulting from such defense or
settlement, together with the total expense thereof, shall be binding on
Neoforma. Failure to give notice within a reasonable period of time shall not
constitute a defense, in whole or in part, to any claim for indemnification by
the FDI Parties except and only to the extent that such failure by the FDI
Parties shall result in material prejudice to Neoforma.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the FDI Parties may, after not less than
sixty (60) days written notice to Neoforma, make settlement of such claim,
provided that if Neoforma has fully performed its obligations to defend the
claim, such settlement shall be binding on Neoforma only if (i) Neoforma
consents to the settlement, or (ii) it is determined through the Dispute
Resolution and Arbitration procedure provided for herein that it would be
unreasonable for a person giving equal consideration to the interests of the FDI
Parties and Neoforma to refuse to consent to such settlement.
Failure to give notice within a reasonable period of time shall not
constitute a defense, in whole or in part, to any claim for indemnification by
the FDI Parties, except and only to the extent that such failure by the FDI
Parties shall result in a material prejudice to Neoforma. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the FDI Parties be required to
consent to a non-monetary term or condition to such settlement as a condition to
indemnification hereunder.
-21-
22
(e) Remedies Cumulative. Except as herein expressly
provided, the remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and shall not
preclude the assertion by one party of any other rights or the seeking of any
other remedies against the other party.
SECTION 6. CERTAIN OTHER COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS.
6.01 Further Assurances. Upon the request of Neoforma or FDI
Corporation, the other party will execute and deliver to the requesting party,
or such party's nominee, all such instruments and documents of further assurance

effectively consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including obtaining
all consents and approvals from third parties, under leases, joint venture
agreements and other contracts.
6.02 License to FDI Corporation and Facilities Development, Inc.
Effective at the Closing, Neoforma hereby grants to FDI Corporation and
Facilities Development, Inc., a three-year, world-wide, non-exclusive,
royalty-free license to use the Software and the Intellectual Property in
support of or otherwise in connection with the consulting business currently
conducted by Facilities Development, Inc. and all extensions or expansions or

FDI Corporation or Facilities Development, Inc. shall have the right to extend
the term of this license for up to two (2) three year extensions, which it may
do by providing Neoforma with

23
its written notice to extend the license together with the amount of $10,000
during the 30 day period prior to the termination of the initial term of this
license or the first extension term (in the case of a second extension). The
purchaser in any such acquisition shall have the right to assume that portion of
the term of the license granted hereunder as remains at such time (including any
unexercised extension rights) but shall not have the further right to assign or
otherwise transfer such license except with the prior written notice to
Neoforma. Neither FDI Corporation or Facilities Development, Inc. shall have the
right to copy the Software except for backup purposes. In support of the
foregoing license, Neoforma shall provide to FDI Corporation and Facilities
Development, Inc., on a timely basis (and no less frequently than quarterly),
all supplements, upgrades, enhancements, modifications, improvements, and
releases made by Neoforma. with respect to the Software or the Intellectual

Agreement. At the Closing, Neoforma shall have entered into either a consulting

such form as is mutually agreeable to Neoforma and such key employees.
-23-
24
6.04 Sublease. FDI Corporation currently leases its office space and
the furniture, fixtures and equipment used by it in its business. Effective at
the Closing, FDI Corporation hereby subleases to Xxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc., a
sufficient portion of the office space FDI Corporation currently occupies,
together with the furniture, fixtures and equipment currently used by FDI
Corporation, so as to enable Neoforma to conduct from and after the Closing the
FDI Business in the manner it has been conducted by FDI. Neoforma shall make
monthly sublease payments to FDI Corporation to reimburse FDI Corporation; such
sublease payments shall be calculated to fairly reflect the portion of the
leased premises and furniture, fixtures, and equipment used by Neoforma each
month. Schedule 6.04 sets forth the initial allocation of such sublease
payments.
6.05 Staffing Plan. Schedule 6.05 sets forth a staffing plan for the
FDI Business for the twelve month period immediately following the Closing. This
plan shall provide that all employees shall devote 100% of their working time
and efforts to the business of Neoforma, unless otherwise agreed to by Neoforma,
in which case any party which desires to purchase some of the services of such
employees shall work out an arrangement pursuant to which they shall pay
Neoforma for such services. The parties will adhere to this staffing plan,
provided that if any party believes that modifications are necessary for the
effective continuation of the FDI Business or the business of Facilities, the
parties will in good faith discuss those modifications and attempt to reach an
accommodation with respect thereto.
6.06 Confidentiality. Following the date hereof, FDI Corporation, and
its directors and officers shall keep confidential all information relating to
the FDI Business and not use such information for any purpose except as
contemplated by this Agreement. FDI Corporation
-24-
25
will not disclose to any person other than Neoforma or Facilities Development,
Inc. any trade secrets, know how, technology, processes, formulas, computer
programs, customer lists, customer names or identities or other confidential or
proprietary business information used in or associated with the FDI Business or
related to the Assets. FDI Corporation further agrees to take all steps
necessary to prevent its directors, officers, employees and agents from
disclosing such trade secrets and other information.
6.07 Public Announcements. Neoforma shall permit FDI Corporation to
work with it to develop the initial press release describing the transactions
described in this Agreement, and no such press release will be made without the
approval of FDI Corporation, which will not be withheld unreasonably. Neoforma
shall have the right thereafter to make any public statement, announcement or
press release with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby, and to otherwise publicize this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, to the extent it deems necessary without the consent of FDI
Corporation or any other party, provided, however, that any statement,
announcement or release made on or before June 1, 2000, which states or can
reasonably be construed to indicate that Neoforma is engaged in providing
consulting services in competition with Facilities Development, Inc. shall not
be made unless it is approved by Facilities Development, Inc., which approval
shall not be withheld unreasonably.
6.08 Access to Records. Following the date hereof, FDI Corporation
will provide Neoforma and its representatives with reasonable access to such
tax, financial or other records, books of account, litigation files or other
information as to which Neoforma has
-25-
26
demonstrated a reasonable need to review upon Neoforma's requesting such
information or records.
6.09 Customer Support. Neoforma acknowledges that effective at the
Closing, it will assume all liabilities of the FDI Parties to support the
Software in the hands of the FDIParties's customers, which liabilities are set
forth in the Contracts or otherwise set forth on Schedule 6.09. Neoforma agrees
to provide such support in the manner and at the levels that the FDI Parties
have provided such support historically.
6.10 Transfer of Software and Intellectual Property. If as of the
first anniversary of the Closing Neoforma has not completed a public offering of
its common stock registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, then
thereafter for a period of ninety (90) days, FDI Corporation shall have the
right to compel Neoforma to transfer to FDI Corporation for no payment free and
clear ownership of and all rights to the Software and the Intellectual Property
(including all supplements, upgrades, enhancements, modifications, improvements,
and releases made by Neoforma) within 30 days of FDI Corporation's providing
Neoforma of its intent to exercise such right, provided that Neoforma shall
retain a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, three (3) year license to use
the Software and Intellectual Property for Worldwide Web-based applications
only, which license shall include the right to license the Software solely for
such purposes to others. Neoforma shall have the right to extend the term of any
license granted to it pursuant to this Section for up to two (2) three year
extensions, which it may do by providing FDI Corporation with its written notice
to extend the license together with the amount of $10,000 during the 30 day
period prior to the termination of the initial term of this license or the first
extension term (in the case of a second extension).
-26-
27
Neoforma agrees that until such time as Xxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc. has completed a
public offering of its common stock registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or the foregoing right to compel transfer shall expire, it will not
grant to any third party any right with respect to the Software or the
Intellectual Property which would render it unable to deliver to FDI Corporation
the free and clear ownership and all other rights to the Software and the
Intellectual Property that are contemplated hereby.
6.11 Referrals. Neoforma agrees that for so long as Facilities
Development, Inc. shall remain active in the consulting business that it
currently conducts, Neoforma will include Facilities Development, Inc. in any
response it gives to a request for a referral to a consultant that performs
services of the type Facilities Development, Inc. performs, and it will give
Facilities Development, Inc. a positive recommendation.
6.12 Retention of Shares. For a period of twelve months from and
after the Closing, FDI Corporation shall retain all right, title and ownership
in and to, and shall not distribute, at least 100,000 of the Acquired Shares.
These shares shall be subject to cancellation by Neoforma to satisfy the payment
of any amount which may become owing from FDI Corporation to Neoforma during
this period pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, with the amount of shares
subject to such cancellation being determined using the average closing price of
such shares for a ten day trading period prior to such event.
6.13 Non-Competition. For a period of eighteen (18) months after the
execution of this Agreement, (i) neither FDI Corporation or FDI Information
shall hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Neoforma, or assist in such
hiring by anyone else, or encourage any employee to terminate his or her
employment with Neoforma, provided, however, that nothing
-27-
28
shall prevent FDI Corporation or FDI Information from hiring any former employee
of Neoforma who has terminated their employment with Neoforma voluntarily and
without solicitation; (ii) neither FDI Corporation or FDI Information shall
participate, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, in any business or
activity that is presently in competition with Neoforma or, in the business of
developing, maintaining, marketing, and selling comprehensive, world-wide
web-based equipment planning tools primarily for use in the construction and/or
redesign of healthcare facility projects or in any other business in which
Neoforma is presently engaged, in any state in which Neoforma does business; and
(iii) neither FDI Corporation or FDI Information shall cause or assist to cause
any of the customers of Neoforma with whom any of them have communicated, dealt
with or became acquainted prior to the Closing Date in connection with their
operation of the FDI Business to enter into contractual arrangements with
herself or themselves or any other person, firm, partnership, corporation or
other company in any business or activity that is presently in competition with
Neoforma. Nothing in this Section 6.13 shall prohibit FDI Corporation, FDI
Information or any other party from participating in the consulting business of
Facilities Development, Inc.
6.14 Loan from Neoforma. In the event that FDI Corporation, or its
shareholder or shareholders, has any tax liability for the tax year ending
December 31, 1999 arising from the sale of FDI Corporation's assets to Neoforma
in consideration for the Acquired Shares being issued to it, Neoforma agrees to
lend to the party or parties incurring such tax liability (the "Borrowers"),
upon their request and satisfying the conditions of this Section an amount equal
to the lesser of (i) the amount of such actual tax liability, or (ii) $400,000
in the aggregate, upon the terms and conditions of this Section. This loan may
be requested in the manner
-28-
29
provided for in this Section by one or more of the FDI Corporation shareholders
in an amount not to exceed their pro rata portion (based upon their
shareholdings) of the maximum loan amount. The amount of any tax liability as to
which the loan being provided pursuant to this Section may be made shall be
demonstrated to Neoforma's reasonable satisfaction by the Borrowers providing to
Neoforma either a copy of all relevant tax returns which reflect such liability
or a written statement from the Borrowers' tax advisors, which advisors shall be
reasonably satisfactory to Neoforma, stating the amount of such liability and
the basis for its calculation. Any request for a loan pursuant to this Section
6.14 (the "Loan") shall be made, if at all, on or before October 1, 2000, and
such request shall constitute the covenant and certification of the party making
the request that the proceeds of the Loan are being used solely to pay the
subject tax liability.
As security for any loan made by Neoforma pursuant to this Section 6.14,
and as a precondition to its being obligated to make the Loan, the Borrowers
shall be required to pledge to, and deliver stock certificates respecting one
share of the Common Stock owned by FDI Corporation for each $5.00 in principal
amount of the Loan (the "Pledged Shares"). The Borrowers shall be required to
execute all such documents as are reasonably required to effectuate such pledge
and the Loan in the opinion of Neoforma's legal counsel. There shall be
separate, non-cross-defaulted and non-cross-collateralized Notes made by each
Borrower, each of which shall be non-recourse, except against such pledged
shares, bear interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum and shall
repayable on the earlier of (i) one year from the date it is made, if on such
date the beneficial owner of the Pledged Shares is permitted under applicable
law to resell a sufficient number of shares to generate proceeds in the amount
-29-
30
required to repay the balance owing under the Note at such time; (ii) eighteen
months from the date the Loan is made; or (iii) the date fifteen days after an
amount of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement having a
value equal to or in excess of the amount of the Loan have been registered under
federal securities laws, and either registered or subject to resale pursuant to
an exemption under applicable state blue sky laws. Neoforma shall have no
obligation to make any loan to any particular borrower pursuant to this Section
6.14 in the event an amount of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to
this Agreement having a value equal to or in excess of the tax liabilities which
are owing have been registered under federal securities laws, and either
registered or subject to resale pursuant to an exemption under applicable state
blue sky laws, prior to the date such Loan is requested by any particular
borrower.
