 the then applicable Maximum Loan Amount. Lender’s obligation to make Loans to Borrower under this Agreement is hereinafter referred to as the
“Commitment.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender will not be obligated to advance any Loan to Borrower after the Maturity Date, and Lender’s obligation to advance any Loan to Borrower is subject to satisfaction of all
relevant terms and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to the conditions precedent and other provisions of Sections 4 (with respect to the initial Loan) and 5 (with respect to each Loan). 
  
 2.2    Procedures for Borrowing.    Borrower may borrow under the Commitment during the Credit Period on
any Business Day by (a) giving Lender written notice of Borrower’s request for a Loan hereunder that sets forth the principal amount to be borrowed by Borrower under such requested Loan (a “Loan Notice”) and the date on
which such Loan is requested to be advanced (the “Loan Request Date”) and (b) executing and delivering to Lender a Note (as defined in Section 2.3 below) for the principal amount of the Loan requested, dated as of the date
such Loan is actually advanced by Lender to Borrower. If Lender is unable for any reason to advance such Loan to Borrower on the Loan Request Date, Lender shall advance such Loan to Borrower as soon after the Loan Request Date as possible, which
date shall not be more than two (2) calendar weeks following the date of Lender’s receipt of the applicable Loan Notice.

Exhibit A (the “Note”). The Note will provide that interest on unpaid principal will accrue at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year).

terms of this Agreement (including but not limited to the provisions of Section 7.2) or the terms of the Note, the unpaid principal amount of all Loans and all unpaid interest accrued thereon, together with any other fees, expenses or costs incurred
in connection therewith, will be immediately due and payable to Lender in full on the Maturity Date.

least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice, or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing, received by Lender no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Each prepayment will be applied as follows: (a) first, to the payment of interest
accrued on all Loans outstanding and (b) second, to the extent that the amount of such prepayment exceeds the amount of all such accrued interest, to the payment of principal on such Loan or Loans as Borrower may designate. 
  
 2.6    Adjustment to Maximum Loan Amount.    In the event that Borrower (i) sells any of its capital
stock in one or more transactions as part of an equity financing, (ii) obtains funding in connection with a debt financing or other lending transaction that is either unsecured or subordinate to the Lien of Lender under the Security Agreement or
(iii) enters into a debt financing or other lending transaction secured by assets owned by Borrower as of the Effective Date (provided that Borrower must obtain the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
in order to enter into a transaction contemplated by clause (iii)), then the Maximum Loan Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the cash proceeds

 received by Borrower pursuant to any of the transactions set forth in the preceding clauses (i) through (iii).

Payments.    Lender is authorized to record on Schedule A hereto, and on any continuation(s) of such Schedule that may be attached to this Note: (a) the date and principal amount of each Loan advanced by Lender under
the Credit Agreement; and (b) the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal and/or accrued interest of any Loan; which recordation will constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so endorsed on
Schedule A; provided however, that any failure to record such information on such Schedule or continuation thereof will not in any manner affect the obligations of Borrower to make payments of principal and interest in accordance with
the terms of this Note. Lender will promptly provide Borrower with a copy of each recordation made by Lender on Schedule A. 
  
 3.    Prepayment.    Prepayment of unpaid principal and/or interest due under this Note may be made at any time without penalty as specified in the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise

 

 12 

 agreed in writing by Lender, all payments will be made in lawful tender of the United States and will be applied (a) first, to the payment of accrued interest
and (b) second, to the extent that the amount of such prepayment exceeds the amount of all such accrued interest, to the payment of principal. 
  
 4.    Security.    Payment of this Note is secured by a security interest in assets and properties of Borrower granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Security
Agreement dated of even date herewith between Borrower and Lender, as such may be amended from time to time (the “Security Agreement”). 
  
 5.    Default; Acceleration of Obligation.    Borrower will be deemed to be in default under this Note and the outstanding unpaid principal balance of this Note, together
with all interest accrued thereon, will immediately become due and payable in full, without the need for any further action on the part of Lender, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement). 

 
 6.    Remedies On Default; Acceleration.    Upon any Event of Default, Lender will have, in
addition to its rights and remedies under this Note and the Credit Agreement, full recourse against any real, personal, tangible or intangible assets of Borrower, and may pursue any legal or equitable remedies that are available to Lender, and may
declare the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note and all unpaid accrued interest under this Note to be immediately due and payable in full. 
  
 7.    Waiver and Amendment.    Any provision of this Note may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both Borrower and Lender. Except as provided below with
respect to waivers by Borrower, no waiver or consent with respect to this Note will be binding or effective unless it is set forth in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is asserted. No course of dealing between Borrower and
Lender will operate as a waiver or modification of any party’s rights or obligations under this Note. No delay or failure on the part of either party in exercising any right or remedy under this Note will operate as a waiver of such right or
any other right. A waiver given on one occasion will not be construed as a bar to, or as a waiver of, any right or remedy on any future occasion. 
  
 8.    Waivers of Borrower.    Borrower hereby waives presentment, notice of non-payment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand and diligence. 
  
 9.    Governing Law.    This Note will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws
of the State of California as applied to agreements between residents thereof to be performed entirely within such State, without reference to that body of law relating to conflict of laws or choice of law. 
  
 10.    Severability; Headings.    Any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this
Note in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render illegal or unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction and will not invalidate or render illegal or unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The headings in
this Note are for convenience of reference only and will not alter or otherwise affect the meaning of this Note. 
 

 13 

  
 11.    Attorneys’ Fees.    If any party
hereto commences or maintains any action at law or in equity (including counterclaims or cross-complaints) against the other party hereto by reason of the breach or claimed breach of any term or provision of this Note, then the prevailing party in
said action will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs incurred therein. 
  
 11.    Assignment.    This Note may not be assigned or delegated by either Lender or Borrower, whether by voluntary assignment or transfer, operation of law, merger or otherwise. 

 
 12.    Credit Agreement.    This Note incorporates by reference all the provisions of the
Credit Agreement, including, but not limited to, all provisions contained therein with respect to Events of Default, waivers, remedies and covenants, and the description of the benefits, rights and obligations of each of Borrower and Lender under
the Credit Agreement.

 Exhibit B 
  
 SECURITY
AGREEMENT 
  
 This Security Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of
April    , 2001 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Neoforma.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and VHA Inc., a Delaware corporation,
(“Lender”). 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 A.  Borrower may borrow the principal amount of up to $25,000,000 from Lender pursuant to the terms of a certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Lender dated of even date
herewith (the “Credit Agreement”) and a Secured Revolving Promissory Note (the “Note”). 
  
 B.  The parties have agreed that Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Note will be secured by Borrower’s grant to Lender of a security interest in and to certain collateral, pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, as a material inducement to Lender to enter into the Credit Agreement, and in
consideration of loans made or to be made by Lender under the Note and the Credit Agreement, the parties’ agreements herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1.    Security.    The payment and performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement
and the Note (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Obligations”) will at all times be secured as follows: 
  
 (a)  Grant of Security Interest.    As security for the due performance and payment of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in the
“Collateral” as defined in Section 1(b). 
  
 (b)  Collateral
Defined.    As used in this Agreement, the term “Collateral” means, collectively, any and all of the assets, properties, goods, inventory, equipment, furniture, fixtures, leases, supplies, records,
money, documents, instruments, chattel paper, accounts, intellectual property rights (including but not limited to, copyrights, moral rights, patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade secrets and other general
intangibles), whether owned by Borrower on the Effective Date or hereafter acquired, and all proceeds and thereof. 
  
 (c)  Financing Statements.    So long as Borrower is indebted to Lender under the Note, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to Lender such assignments, notices, financing statements or other
documents and papers as Lender may reasonably require in order to perfect and maintain the security interest in the Collateral granted to Lender hereby and to give any third party notice of Lender’s interest in the Collateral. Upon the full and
final discharge of all of Borrower’s Obligations, Lender will execute and deliver such documents as may be  
 

 17 

 reasonably necessary and requested by Borrower to release the Collateral from the security interest granted to Lender in this Agreement

  
 2.    Covenants of Borrower.    Borrower hereby covenants and
agrees with Lender as follows: 
  
 (a)  Taxes.    Borrower will pay all
taxes due and owing by Borrower at such time as they become due. Borrower will keep the Collateral in good condition and repair continuously for so long as Borrower has Obligations to Lender under the Note or under the Credit Agreement.

  
 (b)  Notice to Account Debtors.    Upon the request of Lender at any
time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined below), Borrower shall notify account debtors on all Borrower’s accounts that such accounts have been assigned to Lender and that payments in respect
thereof shall be made directly to Lender. 
  
 (c)  Moving of
Collateral.    Borrower will not move or relocate any or all of the Collateral that remains owned by Borrower (other than any Collateral that is sold, leased or otherwise transferred by Borrower in a bona fide transaction for
value) to any location outside the State of California without giving Lender notice of the moving of such Collateral in sufficient time to enable Lender to make all filings necessary to maintain without interruption the continuous perfection of
Lender’s security interest in such moved or relocated Collateral in the jurisdiction(s) in which such Collateral is moved or relocated. Any notice provided by Borrower relating to the movement of Collateral shall indicate in detail the
description of the Collateral to be moved or relocated and the location(s) and address(es) to which such Collateral is to be moved. 
  
 (d)  Sale of Collateral.    Borrower will not, without Lender’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion: (i) sell, lease, assign,
transfer or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, any part thereof or any interest therein, or any of Borrower’s rights therein, to any person, entity or party other than Lender, except for (A) sales of inventory in the ordinary course of
business, (B) the grant of licenses in the ordinary course of business or (C) the disposition in the ordinary course of business of any item of equipment that has become worn-out or obsolete. 
  

3.  Lender’ Rights and Remedies Upon Event of Default. 
  
 (a)  General Remedies.    In the event of an occurrence of any Event of Default (as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement),
in addition to exercising any other rights or remedies Lender may have under the Credit Agreement, at law or in equity, or pursuant to the provisions of the California Commercial Code, Lender may, at its option, and without demand first made,
exercise any one or all of the following rights and remedies: (i) collect the Collateral and its proceeds; (ii) take possession of the Collateral wherever it may be found, using all reasonable means to do so, or require Borrower to assemble the
Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to Borrower; (iii) proceed with the foreclosure of the security interest in the Collateral granted herein and the 
 

 18 

 sale or endorsement and collection of the proceeds of the Collateral in any manner permitted by law or provided for herein; (iv) sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral at public or private sale, with or without having the Collateral at the place of sale; (v) institute a suit or other action against Borrower for recovery on the Note; (vi) exercise any rights and remedies
of a secured party under the California Commercial Code and/or (vii) offset, against any payment due from Borrower to Lender, the whole or any part of any indebtedness of Lender to Borrower. 
  
 (b)  No Election of Remedies.    The election by Lender of any right or remedy will not prevent Lender from exercising any other
right or remedy against Borrower. 
  
 (c)  Proceeds.    If an Event of
Default occurs, all proceeds and payments with respect to the Collateral will be retained by Lender (or if received by Borrower will be held in trust and will be forthwith delivered by Borrower to Lender in the original form received, endorsed in
blank) and held by Lender as part of the Collateral or applied by Lender to the payment of the Obligations. 
  
 (d)  Sales of Collateral.    Any item of Collateral may be sold for cash or other value at public or private sale or other disposition and the proceeds thereof collected by or for Lender. Borrower agrees
to promptly execute and deliver, or promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such instruments, documents, assignments, waivers, certificates and affidavits and supply or cause to be supplied such further information and take such further action
as Lender may require in connection with any such sale or disposition. Lender will have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. If any notice of a proposed sale, lease, license or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice
shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale, lease, license or other disposition. Lender agrees to give Borrower ten (10) days prior written notice of any sale, lease, license or other disposition of
Collateral (or any part thereof) by Lender. 
  
 (e)  Application of
Proceeds.    The proceeds of all sales and collections in respect of the Collateral, the application of which is not otherwise specifically herein provided for, will be applied as follows: (i) first, to the payment of the
costs and expenses of such sale or sales and collections and the attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender relating to costs of collection; (ii) second, any surplus then remaining will be applied first, to the payment of all
unpaid interest accrued under the Note, and then to the payment of unpaid principal under the Note and (iii) third, any surplus then remaining will be paid to Borrower. 
  
 4.    Notices.    All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon
delivery either personally or by commercial delivery service, or sent via facsimile (receipt confirmed) to the parties at the addresses or facsimile numbers set forth in the Credit Agreement (or at such other address or facsimile number for a party
as shall be specified by like notice). 
 

 19 

  
 5.    Termination.    When all
Obligations have been paid and performed in full and discharged, this Agreement and the security interest granted to Lender under this Agreement will terminate. 
  
 6.    Modification; Waiver.    This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a writing signed by both parties hereto.
No waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement will be binding unless it is set forth in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is asserted. No course of dealing between Borrower and Lender will operate as a waiver or
modification of any party’s rights under this Agreement. No delay or failure on the part of either party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver given on one
occasion will not be construed as a bar to, or as a waiver of, any right or remedy on any future occasion. 
  
 7.    Attorneys’ Fees.    If any party hereto commences or maintains any action at law or in equity (including counterclaims or cross-complaints) against the other party hereto by reason
of the breach or claimed breach of any term or provision of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in said action will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs incurred therein.

or Borrower, whether by voluntary assignment or transfer, operation of law, merger or otherwise.

jurisdiction will not invalidate or render illegal or unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction and will not invalidate or render illegal or unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The headings in this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not alter or otherwise affect the meaning of this Agreement. 
  
 10.    Governing Law.    This Agreement will be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California as applied to agreements between residents
thereof and to be performed entirely within such State, without reference to that body of law relating to conflict of laws or choice of law.

constitute one and the same instrument.
