(this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of the January 8, 2001, by and
between IDX SYSTEMS CORPORATION, a Vermont corporation, with offices at 0000
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 ("IDX"), and CHANNELHEALTH,

Background
IDX and ChannelHealth entered into that certain Cross License and Software
Maintenance Agreement dated January 1, 2000.
ChannelHealth is in the business of, among other things, developing and
marketing products and services known as the "Physician Channel" to automate the
delivery of office-based clinical care, the "Patient Channel" to automate
communication between physicians and their patients, and the "eCommerce Channel"
to automate aspects of claims and payments for healthcare.
IDX is interested in retaining the eCommerce Channel business and certain
components of the Patient Channel business and in divesting the Physician
Channel business. Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Allscripts"), is interested in acquiring the Physician Channel business of
ChannelHealth.
As of July 13, 2000, (i) IDX and ChannelHealth entered into an Asset
Purchase Agreement whereby, on the date hereof, IDX shall acquire the assets and
assume the liabilities associated with the eCommerce Channel business and
certain components of the Patient Channel business and (ii) IDX and Allscripts
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") whereby
ChannelHealth, on the date hereof, will become a subsidiary of Allscripts, and
concurrently herewith, IDX and Allscripts have entered into a Strategic Alliance
Agreement whereby they shall cooperatively develop and market integrated office
practice management and clinical management systems.
IDX and ChannelHealth desire to restate and supersede the Cross License and
Software Maintenance Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2000, entered into by and
between IDX and ChannelHealth (the "License Agreement"), to reflect (i) the
conveyance by ChannelHealth of the eCommerce Channel business and certain
components of the Patient Channel, and (ii) the conveyance of certain
intellectual properties related to the Physician Channel by IDX to
ChannelHealth.
IN CONSIDERATION of the premises, the mutual covenants and agreements
hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. SCOPE AND EFFECT
From and after the Effective Time, each party shall be relieved from all
obligations to perform the License Agreement that shall have arisen from and

enforce the patent on its own.

the other party; provided, however, that: (a) such Confidential Information
may be disclosed to the receiving party's respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, or representatives (collectively, our "Representatives")
on a "need to know" basis for the purpose of this Agreement on the
condition that (i) each such Representative will be informed by the
receiving party of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information
and will agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and not to
disclose the Confidential Information to any other person and (ii) both
parties agree to accept full responsibility for any breach of this Section
10 by its respective Representatives; and (b) Confidential Information
pertaining to the other party may be disclosed upon the prior written
consent of the other party. Both parties hereby agree, upon the request of
the other party, to promptly deliver to the other party at its cost the
Confidential Information pertaining to such other party, without retaining
any copies thereof. Specifically and without limitation, ChannelHealth
agrees to (i) reproduce (and refrain from removing or destroying) copyright
and proprietary rights notices which are placed on the IDX Licensed
Technology or the Allscripts Products, (ii) erase or otherwise destroy,
prior to disposing of media, all portions of IDX Licensed Technology or the
Allscripts Products contained on such media, (iii) notify the other party
promptly in writing upon any officer or director learning of any
unauthorized disclosure or use of the IDX Licensed Technology or the
Allscripts Products and (iv) reasonably cooperate with the other party to
cure any unauthorized disclosure or use of the IDX Licensed Technology or
the Allscripts Products. IDX agrees that ChannelHealth's use and
distribution of the IDX Licensed Technology pursuant to and in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement shall not be a violation of this Section

either party may, without the consent of the other party, assign and
delegate this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in
connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of
its assets (which sale shall include the assignment and assumption of all
rights and obligations under the License Agreement); provided, however,

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the access to the books,
records and documents of IDX and ChannelHealth and any related

and void upon a finding by a court or quasi-judicial body of competent
jurisdiction that this Agreement is outside the scope of the regulatory
or statutory definition of those contracts and agreements included within
