Dear
Kevin: 

This
letter (the "Separation Agreement") confirms the termination of your employment with MedicaLogic/Medscape, Inc. ("Medscape") effective on the earlier of December 31, 2001, or the
date which you notify us will be your last day of employment at Medscape (the "Effective Date"). This Separation Agreement is intended to settle all of our respective rights and obligations regarding
your employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") and other matters pertaining to your services as an employee of Medscape. 

Accordingly,
for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, you and Medscape hereby agree as follows: 

	1.
	Separation Payment and Release. Medscape has paid or will pay you an amount representing your current monthly base salary through the
Effective Date, plus accrued but unused vacation. In addition, eight days after you sign and deliver to Medscape the release attached as Exhibit A (the "Release"), Medscape will make a lump sum
payment to you of $125,000.00 (one hundred and twenty-five thousand
US dollars) (the "Separation Payment"), subject to withholding as set forth in Paragraph 7 below. You acknowledge the Separation Payment is contingent on and in consideration of your signing
the Release.

	2.
	Employment Status. After the Effective Date, Medscape will not require you to perform any further services pursuant to the Employment
Agreement or as an employee of the Company. Furthermore, the Employment Agreement is hereby terminated, and except for those sections that by the terms of the Employment Agreement survive a
termination (including without limitation your obligations under the Restrictive Covenants section that apply in the case of a severance payment, which shall be deemed to be triggered by the
separation payment Medscape is making in this Agreement), neither party shall have any continuing rights, obligations or liabilities thereunder.

	3.
	Effect on Stock Options. Medscape agrees that this Separation Agreement will not affect the terms of any of your stock option agreements
with the Company.

	4.
	Effect on Benefits. Your participation in, and coverage under, any other Medscape provided benefit plans, policies and arrangements,
including, without limitation, those available to you or generally available to Medscape employees or executives, shall cease 31 days after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided
under the terms of such benefit plans, policies and arrangements. You may be eligible to continue your benefits at your expense consistent with the provisions of COBRA. You will receive a separate
communication from us regarding your COBRA eligibility following the Effective Date.

	5.
	Expenses. Medscape will reimburse you for any customary and reasonable business expenses through the Effective Date in accordance with
Medscape's applicable reimbursement policies, subject to appropriate documentation and review. Medscape will have no obligation to reimburse you for any expenses submitted later than sixty days after
the Effective Date.

	6.
	Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Release, Medscape shall indemnify you with respect to any third
party claim arising out of, or related to, your service as an 

 

officer,
director or employee of Medscape or any of its subsidiaries to the same extent and on the same terms and conditions as shall apply from time to time to Medscape's then current officers,
directors or employees under Medscape's generally applicable policies regarding indemnification. 

	7.
	Withholding. Cash payments to be made hereunder shall be net of all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld
therefrom.

	8.
	Miscellaneous. This Separation Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by you and Medscape. Except for separate
agreements between you and Medscape specifically mentioned herein, this Separation Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between Medscape and you with respect to its subject matter.
The Separation Agreement and Release shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, other than the provisions thereof relating to conflict of
laws. This Separation Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs and assigns. This Separation Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In the event that any of the terms and conditions of this Separation
Agreement are or become invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in force. Any notices to be given and any payments to be made hereunder shall be delivered in hand or sent by
registered mail, return receipt requested, to the respective party at (i) Medscape's headquarters, if notice shall be to Medscape, or (ii) your address of permanent residence as listed
on Medscape's records from time to time or to such other address as either such party shall direct in accordance with the requirements of this Section 8.

	9.
	Confidentiality of Terms. Medscape and you agree to keep both this Separation Agreement and the Release confidential, and not to
disclose their existence or terms to anyone other than your accountant, legal advisors, spouse or domestic partner, except as may be required by law. Medscape and you further acknowledge and agree
that this confidentiality pledge is a material term of the Separation Agreement and Release, but for which pledge you and Medscape would not have
entered into the Separation Agreement or Release. If Medscape is required to make a public disclosure concerning the Separation Agreement or the Release
(or their terms) your confidentiality obligation with respect to those matters will cease at the time they are made public.

	10.
	Office Equipment. Medscape agrees that you may retain the laptop computer provided to you by the company (including any related
peripherals), as well as your company-provided mobile phone. You acknowledge that you will be required to obtain your own software licenses for any software installed on the laptop and your own
personal account for use of the mobile phone. In addition, you represent to Medscape that all company confidential or proprietary information or software of Medscape has been deleted from the laptop
as of the Effective Date. 

Finally,
Medscape thanks you for your service throughout the term of your employment. 

Please
sign below to indicate your agreement with the foregoing. 

	Sincerely,
