Wygod -------------------------- Martin J. Wygod June 18, 2000 2 4 EXHIBIT A Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation Provisions 1. Background. Martin J. Wygod ("Wygod") acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Parent is currently negotiating to acquire the Companies in the Mergers pursuant to the Agreements. (b) The Companies are currently engaged in the following businesses: (i) development or provision of an Internet-based healthcare electronic commerce network that links physicians, payers, suppliers or patients, (ii) facilitating or processing administrative or clinical healthcare transactions, (iii) clinical and administrative healthcare related electronic commerce business, and (iv) development or provision of physician practice management information systems or other healthcare software systems relating to administrative and clinical functions, to physicians, practice associations, management service organizations, physician practice management organizations or other providers of healthcare services (collectively, the "Business"). The Business is conducted by the Companies throughout the United States. (c) Wygod holds a substantial equity interest in the Company and CareInsite in the form of common stock of both the Company and CareInsite as well as options to acquire the common stock of both the Company and CareInsite ("Target Equity"), which will be converted into common stock or options to acquire common stock of Parent upon the consummation of the Mergers ("Parent Equity"). (d) As a result of holding Target Equity, Wygod will benefit from the consummation of the Mergers because, among other things, the Exchange Ratios in the Agreements place significant value on Wygod's Target Equity and Parent Equity to be received in exchange for Target Equity. (e) In order to protect the Business (defined above) of the Company for which Parent is paying a substantial price, and as a condition to Parent's execution of the Agreements and the appointment of Wygod as Co-Chief Executive Officer, Parent is requiring Wygod to agree to become bound to the provision of this Exhibit A upon the consummation of the Mergers. (f) The provisions of this Exhibit A are reasonable in light of the substantial benefit that will accrue to Wygod through the exchange in the Mergers of his Target Equity for Parent Equity and are reasonably necessary to protect the Business that Parent is acquiring at a substantial price. 2. Noncompete.

"Territory" shall mean (a) the area within a 100 mile radius of that office of the Company from which Wygod performed the majority of his services during the one-year period ending on the earlier of his resignation or removal as a director of Parent, or the 3rd anniversary of the Effective Time (the "Applicable Date"), (b) the state in which Wygod is resident on the Applicable Date, and (c) any other state in the United States in which the Companies develop, distribute or provide their business services or products as of the date of the Effective Time. 3. Confidentiality. Wygod acknowledges that in the course of serving as Co-Chief Executive Officer of Parent and as a result of his relationship with the Companies prior to the Merger he has had and will continue to have access to and will learn information that is proprietary to, or confidential to Parent and the Companies and that concerns the Business including the operation, methodology and plans of Parent and the Companies and their Affiliates (as defined below), including without limitation, business strategy and plans, financial information, trade secrets, market information developments (as defined below), information regarding acquisition and other strategic partner candidates and customer information (collectively, "Proprietary 2 6 Information"). Wygod agrees that during the period beginning on the Effective Time and ending upon the later of (i) the end of the Restrictive Period or (ii) the first anniversary of the Termination Date, he will keep such Proprietary Information confidential and will not disclose directly or indirectly any such Proprietary Information to any third party and will not misuse, misappropriate or exploit such Proprietary Information in any way except as required by law or regulatory body.

During the period beginning on the Effective Time and ending upon the end of the Restrictive Period, Wygod shall not directly or indirectly solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any employees, agents, or consultants of Parent, the Companies or their Affiliates to leave the employ of Parent, the Companies or their Affiliates or to do anything from which Wygod is restricted by reason of this letter agreement, nor shall Wygod, directly or indirectly, offer or aid others to offer employment to or interfere or attempt to interfere with any employees, agents or consultants of Parent, the Companies or their Affiliates. 5. Construction. Wygod hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees as follows: (A) the covenants set forth in Sections 2 through 4 above are reasonable in all respects and are necessary to protect the legitimate business and competitive interests of Parent in connection with Parent's acquisition of the Business pursuant to the Agreement; and (B) it is the intention that the provisions of this Exhibit A comply in all respects with California Business and Professional Code ss. 16601. In the event that any provision of this Exhibit A shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction by reason of the geographic or business scope or the duration thereof of such covenant, or for any other reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to the particular aspect of such provision found invalid or unenforceable as applied and shall not affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Exhibit A and the provision shall be construed as if the geographic or business scope or the duration of such provision or other basis on which such provisions have been challenged had been more narrowly drafted so as not to be invalid or unenforceable. 6. Enforcement; Remedies. Wygod covenants, agrees and recognizes that because the breach of the covenants, or any of them, contained in Sections 2 through 4 hereof may result in immediate and irreparable injury to Parent, Parent shall be entitled to seek an injunction restraining Wygod from any violation of Sections 2 through 4 to the fullest extent allowed by law. Wygod further covenants and agrees that in the event of a material breach of any of the respective covenants and agreements contained in Sections 2 through 4 hereof, the period during 3 7 which Wygod is obligated to refrain from competing shall be extended for the entire period of such breach. Wygod further covenants, agrees and recognizes that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a material breach of any of the respective covenants and agreements contained in Sections 2 through 4 hereof, which remains uncured 30 days after written notice from Parent, further vesting with respect to the Current Options shall cease. Parent's entitlement to seek injunctive relief or ceasing any further Current Option vesting, as described in this Section 6, shall be Parent's sole and exclusive remedy in the event that Wygod breaches any covenant or agreement contained in this Exhibit A; provided, however, that in the case of any wilful material breach by Wygod of the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 2 through 4 hereof, nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Parent from pursuing any other legal or equitable remedies that may be available to it for any such breach, including the recovery of damages from Wygod. 4
