ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

ITEM 2 OF THE FORM 8-K OF HBO & COMPANY DATED JUNE 23, 1995, IS HEREBY AMENDED
IN ITS ENTIRETY AS FOLLOWS:

On June 17, 1995, HBO & Company of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of HBO
& Company (HBOC), acquired First Data Health Systems Corporation (HSG), a
wholly owned subsidiary of First Data Corporation, in exchange for 4 million
shares of Common Stock of HBOC valued at approximately $200 million, $500,000
in cash and a promissory note for $100,000.  HSG provided information systems
and services to hospitals, medical group practices and medical facilities
throughout the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Puerto Rico and
other countries.

The transaction was accounted for as a purchase.  The cost of the acquisition
has been allocated on the basis of an outside appraisal of the tangible ($58
million) and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed ($83
million).  HBOC recorded approximately $115 million of intangible assets,
after the purchased research and development charge, which are being
amortized on a straight line basis over periods ranging from seven to 15
years.  The purchased research and development charge of $126 million relates
to research and development purchased from HSG which had not reached the
stage of technological feasibility ($115 million), severance and other
acquisition related costs ($8 million) and a mainframe capitalized research
and development net book value adjustment ($3 million).  The Company is in
the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation.

manner that could subject the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to any
direct or indirect liability (by indemnity or otherwise) for a breach of any
fiduciary, co-fiduciary or other duty under ERISA.  No material oral or
written representation or communication with respect to any aspect of the

other family member of such employee).

        (j) Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 5.9, the Internal Revenue Service
has issued a favorable determination letter with respect to each Pension
Plan.  The Company is not aware of any facts that would adversely affect the
qualified status of any Pension Plan that is intended to so qualify.

        (k) No non-exempt "prohibited transaction" (within the meaning of

Company, any of the Subsidiaries and ERISA Affiliates of the Company.

        (m) No Pension Plan has been completely or partially terminated or
been the subject of a Reportable Event as to which notices would be required
to be filed with the PBGC.  No proceeding by the PBGC to terminate any

otherwise under Title IV of ERISA (including any withdrawal liability) or
under the Code with respect to any Pension Plan on or prior to the Closing
Date.

     the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.

        (4) Each of the Foreign Plans has been administered at all times, and
     in all material respects, in accordance with its terms. There are no
     pending investigations by any Governmental Body involving the Foreign
     Plans, and no pending claims (except for claims for benefits payable in
     the normal operation of the Foreign Plans), suits or proceedings against
     any Foreign Plan or asserting any rights or claims to benefits under any
     Foreign Plan which could have a Material Adverse Effect.

        (5) The fair market value of the assets of each of the Foreign Plans
     which are funded are at least equal to the liabilities of such Foreign
     Plans, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement will not by itself create or otherwise result in any material
     liability with respect to any Foreign Plan.

                                ARTICLE VI

        As an inducement to FDC, FDC Health and the Company to enter into
this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Buyer
and Parent jointly and severally hereby represent and warrant to FDC, FDC
Health and the Company and agree as follows:

        SECTION 6.1.  ORGANIZATION OF BUYER. Each of Buyer and Parent is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware.  Each of Buyer and Parent is duly qualified to
transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the
character of its properties owned or held under lease or the nature of its
activities makes such qualifications necessary, except where the failure to
be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect
on Parent and Buyer.  Each of Buyer and Parent has the corporate power and
corporate authority to own or lease and operate its assets and to carry on
its businesses in the manner that they were conducted immediately prior to
the date of this Agreement.

        SECTION 6.2.  AUTHORITY OF BUYER AND PARENT; CONFLICTS. (a) Each of
Buyer and Parent has the corporate power and corporate authority to execute,
deliver and perform this Agreement and each of the Buyer Ancillary Agreements
to which such corporation is a party.  The execution, delivery and

Parent, as applicable, have been duly authorized and approved by Buyer's
and/or Parent's board of directors, as applicable,


                                Page 37


<PAGE>


and do not require any further authorization or consent of Buyer, Parent or
their respective stockholders.  This Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by Buyer and Parent and (assuming the valid
authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by FDC and the
Company) is the legal, valid and binding agreement of Buyer enforceable in
accordance with its terms, and each of the Buyer Ancillary Agreements has
been duly authorized by Buyer or Parent, as applicable, and upon execution
and delivery by Buyer and/or Parent will be (assuming the valid
authorization, execution and delivery by FDC and the Company, where FDC
and/or the Company is a party, and the other party or parties thereto) a
legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer and Parent, as applicable,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, in each case subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
application relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general
principles of equity.  The issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant
to this Agreement and the filing of any registration statements with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by Parent under the Securities
Act of 1933 (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
the "SECURITIES ACT") for the purpose of registering the shares of Parent
Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement and in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement have been duly authorized by Parent's board of
directors.

        (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of
the Buyer Ancillary Agreements or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby nor compliance with or fulfillment of the
terms, conditions and provisions hereof or thereof will:

        (i) conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions
    or provisions of, or constitute a default, an event of default or
    an event creating rights of acceleration, termination or cancellation
    or a loss of rights under, or result in the creation or imposition
    of any Encumbrance upon any shares of Parent Common Stock or any
    assets of Parent or Buyer under (A) the Certificate of Incorporation
    or By-laws of either Buyer or Parent; (B) any material note, instrument,
    mortgage, contract, agreement commitment, lease, license, franchise
    or financial obligation to which either Buyer or Parent is a party or
    any of its properties is subject or by which Buyer or Parent is bound;
    (C) any Court Order to which Buyer or Parent is a party or by which it
    is bound; or (D) any Requirements of Law affecting Buyer or Parent; or

        (ii) require the approval, consent, authorization or act of, or the
    making by Buyer or Parent of any declaration, filing or registration
    with, any Person, except for (A) in connection, or in compliance, with
    the provisions of the HSR Act; (B) the registration of shares of Parent
    Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement under the Securities
    Act and applicable state securities laws; (C) the listing of the shares
    of


                                Page 38


<PAGE>


    Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement with Nasdaq;
    and (D) such approvals, consents, authorizations, declarations, filings
    or registrations the failure of which to be obtained or made would not
    materially impair the ability of Buyer or Parent to perform its obligations
    hereunder or prevent the consummation of any of the transactions
    contemplated hereby.

        SECTION 6.3.  CAPITALIZATION. As of the date hereof, the authorized
capital stock of Parent consists of 60,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock
and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value (the "PARENT PREFERRED
STOCK").  At the close of business on March 31, 1995 (a) 32,077,055 shares of
Parent Common Stock were issued and outstanding, all of which were duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of
preemptive rights, (b) 2,464,612 shares of Parent Common Stock were reserved
for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options under the Parent Stock
Options and (c) no shares of Parent Preferred Stock were issued or
outstanding.  At the Closing Date, there shall not have been any changes to
the information set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, other than
pursuant to a corporate action described in SECTION 3.2 as to which the
adjustments required by such section have been or will be made, and other
than shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the exercise of outstanding
options under the Parent Stock Options and the grant of additional options
under the Parent Stock Options.  All of the shares of Parent Common Stock
issuable pursuant to this Agreement will be, when so issued, duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive rights.
Except for this Agreement and except for not in excess of 614,237 stock
options available for issuance pursuant to the Parent's plans or agreements
in respect thereof (collectively, the "PARENT STOCK OPTIONS"), there are no
options, warrants, calls, rights or agreements to which Parent or any of its
subsidiaries is a party or by which they are bound (a) obligating Parent or
any of its subsidiaries to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued,
delivered or sold, additional shares of capital stock of Parent or any of its
subsidiaries; (b) obligating Parent or any of its subsidiaries to grant,
extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right or agreement; or
(c) obligating Parent to register under the Securities Act any shares of
Parent Common Stock on behalf of any stockholder of Parent.  Each outstanding
share of capital stock of each subsidiary of Parent is duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, except as disclosed in the
Parent SEC Documents, each such share is owned by Parent or another
subsidiary of Parent free and clear of all Encumbrances.

        SECTION 6.4.  SEC DOCUMENTS AND OTHER REPORTS. Parent has filed with
the SEC since January 1, 1992 copies of all documents which are required to
be filed under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the
"EXCHANGE ACT") (the "PARENT SEC DOCUMENTS"), except for such filings which
the failure to file would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent and
Buyer.  As of their respective dates, the


                                Page 39


<PAGE>


Parent SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and none of
the Parent SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.  The financial statements of Buyer included
in the Parent SEC Documents comply as to form in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of
the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
(except, in the case of the unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q
of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except
as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto), and fairly present the
consolidated financial position of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries
as at the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and

unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and to any other
adjustment described therein).

        SECTION 6.5.  OPERATIONS SINCE MARCH 31, 1995. To the Knowledge of
Parent, except as set forth in SCHEDULE 6.5 and except for any change
resulting from general economic, financial, industry-wide or market
conditions or circumstances generally affecting Buyer's businesses, since

        SECTION 6.6.  NO UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. Except as set forth in
SCHEDULE 6.6 or reflected in the Parent SEC Documents, to the Knowledge of
Parent, as of March 31, 1995, neither Parent nor any of its subsidiaries was
subject to any liability, whether absolute, contingent, accrued or otherwise,
that would be required to be included on a balance sheet prepared in
accordance with GAAP and which in the aggregate would have a Material Adverse
Effect on Parent and Buyer.  Since March 31, 1995, except as set forth in
SCHEDULE 6.6, to the Knowledge of Parent, neither Parent nor any of its
subsidiaries has incurred any liability, whether absolute, contingent,
accrued or otherwise, except for liabilities incurred in the ordinary course
of business that have not and would have a Material Adverse Effect on Buyer
and Parent.

as set forth in SCHEDULE 6.7:

        (i) to the Knowledge of Parent, Parent and its subsidiaries have

        (ii) as of the date hereof, there are no lawsuits, claims, suits,
    proceedings or investigations pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent,
    threatened against Parent or its subsidiaries which would have a Material
    Adverse Effect on Parent and Buyer; and

        (iii) as of the date hereof, there is no action, suit or proceeding
    pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened that questions the
    legality or propriety of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
    or any of the Buyer Ancillary Agreements.

        SECTION 6.8.  NO BROKERS. Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 6.8,
neither Buyer or Parent nor any Person acting on behalf of either Buyer or
Parent has paid or become obligated to pay any fee or commission to any
broker, finder or intermediary for or on account of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

        SECTION 6.9.  INVESTMENT INTENT. Buyer is acquiring the Shares as an
investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution
thereof.  Buyer shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate any
of the Shares in the absence of registration under, or pursuant to an
applicable exemption from, federal and applicable state securities laws.

investigation that may be threatened, brought, asserted or commenced against
the Company, FDC the Subsidiaries, Buyer or Parent, as the case may be, that

such lawsuit, claim, proceeding or investigation had arisen prior to the date
hereof.

        SECTION 7.3.  CONSENTS OF THIRD PARTIES; GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. (a)

Buyer, the Parent, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or is
subject on the Closing Date and (x) that would prohibit or require the
waiver, consent or approval of any person to such transactions or (y) under
which, without such waiver, consent, or approval, such transaction would
constitute an occurrence of default under the provisions thereof, result in
the acceleration of any obligation thereunder or give rise to a right of any
party thereto to terminate its obligation thereunder.  All obtained written
waivers, consents and approvals shall be produced at Closing in form and
content reasonably satisfactory to the other party.

        (b)  During the period prior to the Closing Date, the parties shall

        SECTION 7.5.  ACQUISITION PROPOSALS. Commencing on the date of this
Agreement and until either the Closing Date or the earlier termination of
this Agreement, unless Buyer shall otherwise agree in writing, FDC shall not,
and shall not permit the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to, and shall not

notify the Buyer if any such inquiries or proposals are received by, any such
information is requested from, or any such negotiations or discussions are
sought to be initiated or continued with FDC, the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries.  "ACQUISITION PROPOSAL" means any tender or exchange offer

        SECTION 8.3.  TAX MATTERS. (a) TERMINATION OF PRIOR TAX SHARING
AGREEMENTS.  Any agreement or arrangement regarding the sharing of Taxes that
may exist between FDC or any Affiliate of FDC, on the one hand, and the
Company or any of the Subsidiaries, on the other, other than this Agreement,
shall terminate, and any obligations to make payments under any such
agreement or arrangement shall be cancelled, as of the Closing Date.

        (b) LIABILITY FOR TAXES. (i) FDC shall be liable for all Taxes
(including as set forth in paragraph (g)(ii) Taxes attributable to the
SECTION 338(h)(10) Election made in accordance with paragraph (g) of this
SECTION) (A) imposed on the FDC Tax Group or any member of the FDC Tax Group
(other than the Company or the Subsidiaries) for any taxable year, or (B)
imposed on the Company or the Subsidiaries or for which the Company or the
Subsidiaries may otherwise be liable (including any liability for the Taxes
of any Person other than the Company and the Subsidiaries (A) under Treas.
Reg. Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign
law) or (B) as a transferee or successor), for any taxable year or period
that ends on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle
Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the
Closing Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that FDC shall not be liable and shall not
indemnify Buyer for any Taxes imposed on the Company or the Subsidiaries as a
result of transactions occurring on the Closing Date (other than transactions
in the ordinary course of the Business) that occur at the direction of Buyer
(Taxes described in this proviso are "EXCLUDED TAXES").  FDC shall be
entitled to any refund of Taxes for which it is liable pursuant to this
paragraph (b)(i).

        (ii) Buyer and Parent shall be liable for (A) all Taxes imposed on
the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or for which the Company or the
Subsidiaries may otherwise be liable, for any taxable year or period that
begins after the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the
portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date and (B) any
Excluded Taxes.  Buyer shall be entitled to any refund of such Taxes for
which it is liable pursuant to this paragraph (b)(ii).

        (iii) For purposes of paragraphs (b)(i) and (b)(ii), whenever it is
necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of the Company or the
Subsidiaries for a portion of any Straddle Period, the determination of the
Taxes of the Company or the Subsidiaries for the portion of the Straddle
Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Straddle Period
beginning after, the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the
Straddle Period consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended at
the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of
the day following the Closing Date, and items of income, gain, deduction,
loss or credit of the Company or the Subsidiaries for the Straddle Period
shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a "closing of
the books basis" by assuming that the books of the Company or the
Subsidiaries were closed at the close of the Closing Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that (I) Taxes imposed on the Company or the Subsidiaries as a result of
transactions occurring on the Closing Date (other than transactions in the


                                Page 46


<PAGE>


ordinary course of the Business) that occur at the direction of Buyer shall
be allocated to the taxable year or period that is deemed to begin at the
beginning of the day following the Closing Date and (II) exemptions,
allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the
deduction for depreciation or real estate or personal property taxes, shall
be apportioned between such two taxable years or periods on a daily basis (it
being understood that this proviso shall not apply with respect to the
incremental deductions arising by reason of the 338(h)(10) Election).

        (iv) For purposes of paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii), whenever it is
otherwise necessary to allocate an item of income, gain, deduction, loss or
credit to either a taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing
Date or a taxable year or period that begins after the Closing Date, rules
consistent with those in Treas. Reg Section 1.1502-76(b) shall be applied.

        (v) If, as a result of any action, suit, investigation, audit, claim,
assessment or amended Tax Return, there is any change after the Closing Date
in an item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit that results in an
increase in a Tax liability for which FDC would otherwise be liable pursuant
to paragraph (b)(i), and such change results in a decrease in the Tax
liability of the Company, the Subsidiaries, Buyer, or any Affiliate or
successor thereof (after considering all tax attributes of such party) for
any taxable year or period beginning after the Closing Date or for the
portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, FDC shall
not be liable pursuant to paragraph (b)(i) with respect to such increase to
the extent of such decrease.

        (vi) Buyer shall pay, and shall indemnify FDC against, and FDC shall
pay and shall indemnify Buyer against, one-half of any real property transfer
or gains tax, stamp tax, stock transfer tax, or other similar tax imposed on
the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, together with any
penalties or interest with respect to such taxes.

        (c) TAX RETURNS. (i) FDC shall file or cause to be filed when due all
Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company
or any of the Subsidiaries for taxable years or periods ending on or before
the Closing Date and shall remit any Taxes due in respect of such Tax
Returns, and Buyer shall file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns
that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries for taxable years or periods ending after the Closing Date and
shall timely remit any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns.  FDC or
Buyer shall reimburse the other party for the Taxes for which FDC or Buyer,
respectively, is liable pursuant to paragraph (b) of this SECTION 8.3 but
which are payable with Tax Returns to be filed by the other party pursuant to
the previous sentence upon the written request of the party entitled to
reimbursement, setting forth in detail the computation of the amount owed by
FDC or Buyer, as the case may be, but in no event shall such reimbursement be
due earlier than 10 days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax
Returns, including extensions.

        (ii)  With respect to the taxable period which includes the Closing
Date, Buyer shall promptly cause the Company and the Subsidiaries to prepare
and provide to FDC a package of tax information materials, including, without
limitation, schedules and work papers (the "TAX PACKAGE"), required by FDC to
enable FDC to prepare and file all Tax Returns required to be prepared and
filed by it pursuant to paragraph (c)(i).  The Tax Package shall be completed
in accordance with past practice including past practice as to providing such
information, and as to the method of computation of separate taxable income
or other relevant measure of income of the Company and the Subsidiaries.
Buyer shall cause the Tax Package to be delivered to FDC within 150 days
after the Closing Date.

        (d) CONTEST PROVISIONS. (i) Buyer or FDC, as the case may be, shall
promptly notify the other party in writing upon receipt by Buyer or FDC, or
any of their respective Affiliates, of notice of any pending or threatened
federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits, examinations or assessments
which may affect any Tax liability for which FDC or Buyer, respectively, is
liable pursuant to paragraph (b) of this SECTION 8.3, PROVIDED that failure
to comply with this provision shall not affect Buyer's or FDC's right to
indemnification hereunder except to the extent such failure impairs Buyer's
or FDC's ability to contest any such Tax liabilities.

        (ii) FDC shall have the sole right to represent the Company's or the
Subsidiaries' interests in any Tax audit or administrative or court
proceeding relating to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date
(including, for these purposes, such proceedings as relate to the Section
338(h)(10) Election), and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense.  In
the case of any Straddle Period, FDC shall be entitled to participate at its
expense in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating (in
whole or in part) to Taxes attributable to the portion of such Straddle
Period ending on and including the Closing Date and, with the written consent
of Buyer, and at FDC's sole expense, may assume the entire control of such
audit or proceeding.

        (iii) Neither Buyer nor FDC, nor any of their respective Affiliates,
may agree to settle any Tax claim which may be the subject of indemnification
by Buyer or FDC under paragraph (b) of this SECTION 8.3 without the prior
written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld.  In the event that one party desires to settle a Tax claim and the
other does not, the procedures set forth in SECTION 11.4 shall control.

        (e) ASSISTANCE AND COOPERATION. After the Closing Date, each of FDC
and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to):

        (i) assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such
    other party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with
    paragraph (c) of this SECTION 8.3;


                                Page 48


<PAGE>


        (ii)  cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes
    with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of the Company or the
    Subsidiaries;

        (iii) make available to the other and to any taxing authority as
    reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to
    Taxes of the Company or the Subsidiaries;

        (iv) provide timely notice to the other in writing of any pending or
    threatened Tax audits or assessments of the Company or the Subsidiaries
    for taxable periods for which the other may have a liability under this
    SECTION 8.3; and

        (v) furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from
    any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information
    request with respect to any such taxable period.

        (f) ADJUSTMENT TO PURCHASE PRICE. Any payment by Buyer or FDC under
this SECTION 8.3 will be deemed to be an adjustment to the Purchase Price for
tax purposes.

        (g) ELECTION UNDER SECTION 338(h)(10). (i) FDC and Buyer shall make
and timely file a joint election for the Company (and for any or all of the
domestic Subsidiaries as specified by Buyer for which such an election can be
made) under SECTION 338(h)(10) of the Code and under any applicable similar
provisions of state or foreign law with respect to the purchase of the Shares
or the deemed purchase of the shares of the Subsidiaries (collectively, such
elections shall be referred to as the "SECTION 338(h)(10) ELECTION").  Buyer
represents to FDC that it is qualified to make an election under SECTION
338(h)(10) of the Code and FDC represents to Buyer that it is qualified to
make an election under SECTION 338(h)(10) of the Code.  FDC and Buyer shall
within 180 days after the Closing Date exchange completed and executed copies
of Internal Revenue Service Forms 8023A, required schedules thereto, and any
similar state and foreign forms.  If any changes are required in these forms
as a result of information which is first available after the Closing Date,
the parties will promptly agree on such changes and take all action necessary
to reflect them in any necessary governmental filings.

        (ii) FDC will pay any Tax attributable to the making of the SECTION
338(h)(10) Election and will indemnify Buyer against any adverse consequences
arising out of any failure to pay such Tax.  FDC will also pay any state,
local, or foreign Tax (and indemnify Buyer against any adverse consequences
arising out of any failure to pay such Tax) attributable to an election under
state, local or foreign law similar to the election available under SECTION
338(g) of the Code (or which results from the making of an election under
SECTION 338(g) of the Code) with respect to the purchase of the Shares of the
Company (or deemed purchases of the shares of the Subsidiaries)


                                Page 49


<PAGE>


hereunder where the state, local or foreign Tax jurisdiction (i) does not
provide or recognize a SECTION 338(h)(10) election or (ii) does not apply its
provisions corresponding to SECTION 338(h)(10) of the Code to the purchase of
the Shares of the Company (or deemed purchases of the shares of the
Subsidiaries), PROVIDED that Buyer shall only make a straight 338(g) or
similar election only for state, local and foreign tax purposes and only
under the circumstances described in clauses (i) or (ii) hereof.  In the
event there is uncertainty as to whether a jurisdiction provides for or
recognizes a SECTION 338(h)(10) or comparable election, FDC shall determine
what position FDC and Buyer shall take in their respective tax returns as to
whether such an election is available and the consequences thereof and shall
have sole control over any disputes with that jurisdiction with respect to
such position; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if as a result of such action on the
part of FDC, Buyer is precluded from making an election it otherwise would
have been entitled to make, FDC shall pay Buyer such amounts as are necessary
to put Buyer in the same after-tax position as Buyer would have been in had
such election been made.

        (iii) Buyer and FDC shall jointly appoint an independent appraiser
(the "APPRAISER") to conduct and to deliver to Buyer and FDC, within 90 days,
an appraisal (the "APPRAISAL") of the fair market value as of the Closing
Date of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries for which the SECTION
338(h)(10) Election will be made.  The cost of the Appraisal shall be paid
one-half by FDC and one-half by Buyer.

        Buyer and FDC hereby agree to allocate the Modified Adjusted Deemed
Sales Price, as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10-1(f), for
the Company and the Subsidiaries, among the assets of the Company and the
Subsidiaries for which the Section 338(h)(10) Election will be made in
accordance with Section 338(h)(10) of the Code, the regulations thereunder
and the Appraisal and agree to file all federal, state, local and foreign Tax
Returns in accordance therewith (it being understood that the parties may
take differing positions on the Modified Adjusted Deemed Sales Price).

        SECTION 8.4.  ASSUMPTION OF CERTAIN LIABILITIES BY FDC. FDC hereby
agrees that it shall either discharge, and provide evidence at the Closing of
such discharge, or, shall pay on behalf of the Company or the applicable
Subsidiary or reimburse the Company or such Subsidiary for the payment of,
those liabilities described or set forth on SCHEDULE 8.4.

        SECTION 8.5.  RADIOLOGY, SCHEDULING, MEDICAL RECORDS AND PHARMACY
SOFTWARE PRODUCTS. With respect to customers of the Business described on
SCHEDULE 8.5 who are parties to contracts, agreements, offers or options with
the Company as of the Closing Date that provide for delivery of Pharmacy,
Scheduling, Medical Records and Radiology Software Products upon the
satisfaction of certain terms (the "PHARMACY, SCHEDULING, MEDICAL RECORDS AND
RADIOLOGY SOFTWARE CONTRACTS"), from the Closing Date to the expiration of
FDC's indemnification


                                Page 50


<PAGE>


obligations to the Buyer Group Members under SECTION 11.1(a)(iv), Buyer will,
and will cause the Company to, offer, on terms substantially similar to those
contained in the Pharmacy, Scheduling, Medical Records and Radiology Software
Contracts, the then-current comparable software products of Buyer for
pharmacy and radiology.  No Buyer Group Member shall be indemnified under
this Agreement for Buyer's, the Company's or any of their Affiliates' costs
of providing, installing or otherwise implementing, substituting, replacing
or providing alternative software, goods or services of Buyer, the Company or
any of their Affiliates to customers of the Business in fulfillment of
Buyer's obligations pursuant to this SECTION 8.5.

        SECTION 8.6.  TANDEM. After the Closing, FDC shall maintain control
of the negotiations with Tandem Computer Incorporated ("TANDEM") relating to
settlement of the Tandem Matter, and Buyer and the Company shall cooperate
with FDC to the extent reasonably necessary to consummate all applicable
agreements to settle the Tandem Matter.  Each of FDC and Buyer will, and
Buyer will cause the Company to, use its reasonable efforts to cooperate to
obtain certain credits relative to the sale of product to current customers
of the Business who own or operate Tandem equipment to minimize the Losses
and Expenses incurred by the Buyer Group Members in connection with or
arising from the Tandem Matter; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Buyer shall not be
required to incur out-of-pocket expenses outside the ordinary course of
business and shall not be required to commence any adversarial proceeding, in
each case, unless fully indemnified by FDC.

of such FDC Noticed Breach to the extent the Losses and Expenses from such

investigation, injunction or restraining order shall have been issued,
instituted, threatened or proposed against or in respect of FDC, any of its
Affiliates, Parent or Buyer by or before any court or Governmental Body of
competent jurisdiction to enjoin, restrain, prohibit or obtain substantial

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF
FDC, FDC HEALTH AND THE COMPANY

        All of the obligations of FDC, FDC Health and the Company to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be
contingent upon and subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing

PROVIDED, FURTHER, that, without limiting the foregoing, FDC shall not be
required to indemnify and hold harmless under this SECTION 11.1(a) with

required to indemnify and hold harmless under this SECTION 11.1 for all
Losses and Expenses, regardless of amount, from a breach of or inaccuracy
contained in the provisions of SECTIONS 5.2, 5.8, 8.3 and 8.4 and pursuant to

indemnifiable pursuant to SECTION 11.1(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) shall
include, without limitation, Expenses incurred as to any Third-Person Claim
in respect thereof even if such claim is ultimately unsuccessful.

of FDC shall have been determined pursuant to this ARTICLE XI, and FDC shall
have reimbursed all Buyer Group Members for the full amount of such Losses
and Expenses in accordance with this ARTICLE XI.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the indemnification provided for in SECTION 11.1(a) shall continue

    is ultimately successful) which relates to any such warranty or
    representation and that, if true, would be such a breach or inaccuracy

    Closing, of any agreement or product of, or product under development by,
    the Company or any of the Subsidiaries;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Buyer and Parent shall only be required to indemnify

and Expenses from any single condition, event or act that is indemnified
against under this Agreement so long as the aggregate amount of such Losses

and Parent, jointly and severally, shall be required to indemnify and hold
harmless under this SECTION 11.2(a) for all Losses and Expenses, regardless

SECTIONS 6.1 and 8.3.

        (b) For purposes of this ARTICLE only, the definition of the term

sentence when it is used in a warranty, representation, agreement or covenant
that is the subject of a claim for indemnification hereunder:  For purposes

indemnification under this Agreement, is deemed to be material if the Losses

more and (ii) all effects and changes with respect to each sentence qualified

$100,000 threshold is met.

Expenses of which any FDC Group Member has notified Buyer or Parent in
accordance with the applicable requirements of SECTIONS 11.3 and 11.4 on or
prior to the date such indemnification would otherwise terminate in
accordance with this SECTION 11.2(c), as to which the obligations of Buyer

Expenses in accordance with this ARTICLE XI.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the


                                Page 58


<PAGE>


indemnification provided for in SECTION 11.2(a) shall continue (and claims
may be made by any FDC Group Member at any time) for Losses and Expenses from

Expenses of the FDC Group Members that are indemnifiable pursuant to SECTION
11.2(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv) shall include, without limitation, Expenses
incurred as to any Third-Person Claim in respect thereof even if such claim
is ultimately unsuccessful.

        SECTION 11.3.  NOTICE OF CLAIMS. (a) Any Buyer Group Member or FDC
Group Member (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") seeking indemnification hereunder
shall give promptly to a party obligated to provide indemnification to such
Indemnified Party (the "INDEMNITOR") a written notice (a "CLAIM NOTICE")
describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for
indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then
known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim
and a reference (made in good faith) to the provision of this Agreement or
any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in
connection herewith upon which such claim is based; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
failure to give such notice or failure to make such reference shall not
relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the
Indemnitor shall have been prejudiced by such failure (it being understood
that this proviso does not modify or otherwise affect the time periods
specified in SECTIONS 11.1(a) and 11.2(a)); PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the
provisions of SECTION 11.4 shall also apply to such a Claim Notice relating
to a Third-Person Claim.

        (b) In calculating any Loss or Expense there shall be deducted any
insurance recovery in respect thereof (and no right of subrogation shall
accrue hereunder to any insurer); PROVIDED that no party shall be obligated
hereby to procure or pay for insurance coverage in anticipation of such
claims or pursue any action against an insurer if a claim for insurance is
denied.

        (c) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount
of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this
ARTICLE XI shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of
any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree.  The judgment or decree of
a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have
expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall
have been finally determined.  The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of
proof in establishing the amount of Losses and Expenses suffered by it.

        SECTION 11.4.  THIRD-PERSON CLAIMS. (a) In order for an Indemnified
Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement
in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any
third Person against the Indemnified Party (a "THIRD-PERSON CLAIM"), such
Indemnified Party shall give to an Indemnitor a Claim Notice relating to the
Third-Person Claim within 15 days after


                                Page 59


<PAGE>


receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third-Person
Claim; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve
an Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the
Indemnitor shall have been prejudiced by such failure (except that the
Indemnitor shall not be liable for any Expenses incurred during the period in
excess of the initial 15 days in which the Indemnified Party failed to give
such notice) (it being understood that the Indemnified Party shall use good
faith efforts to notify the Indemnitor promptly upon receipt of any oral or
written notice of a Third-Person Claim).  Thereafter, the Indemnified Party
shall deliver to the Indemnitor, within five business days after the
Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents
(including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the
Third-Person Claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, should an Indemnified
Party be physically served with a complaint with regard to a Third-Person
Claim, the Indemnified Party must notify an Indemnitor with a copy of the
complaint within five business days after receipt thereof and shall deliver
to the Indemnitor within seven business days after the receipt of such
complaint copies of notices and documents (including court papers) received
by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Person Claim; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of
its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been
prejudiced by such failure.

        (b) (i) In the event of a Third-Person Claim, subject to SUBSECTION
11.4(b)(ii) an Indemnitor shall have the absolute right after the receipt of
notice, at its option and at its own expense, to be represented by counsel of
its choice (which shall be satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) and to
defend any proceeding, claim, or demand which relates to any Loss or Expense
indemnified against hereunder if the Indemnitor gives written notice to the
Indemnified Party of its intention to defend (a "Notice to Defend") within
seven business days following receipt of the Claim Notice.  The Notice to
Defend must also state that the Indemnitor agrees to fully indemnify the
Indemnified Party for the Third-Person Claim to the extent provided for in
this ARTICLE XI; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Indemnified Party may
participate in any such proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its
expense.  The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in
connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such legal
proceeding, claim or demand.  To the extent an Indemnitor elects not to
defend such proceeding, claim or demand or fails to give a Notice to Defend
within such seven business-day period, and the Indemnified Party defends
against or otherwise deals with any such proceeding, claim or demand, the
Indemnified Party may retain counsel, at the expense of the Indemnitor to the
extent provided for in this ARTICLE XI, and control the defense of such
proceeding.  Except as provided in SECTION 11.4(c), neither the Indemnitor
nor the Indemnified Party may settle any such proceeding which settlement
obligates the other party, pursuant to such settlement or this ARTICLE XI, to
pay money, to perform obligations, to refrain from performing acts or to
admit liability without the consent of the other party.


                                Page 60


<PAGE>


        (ii) In the event of a Third-Person Claim in which the primary remedy
sought is an injunction, or other similar equitable relief against the
Indemnified Party, that would have a Material Adverse Effect or Material
Adverse Effect on Parent and Buyer, or which principally consists of a
criminal law claim against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall
have the rights and obligations of the Indemnitor under SECTION 11.4(b)(i)
and the Indemnitor shall have the rights and obligations of the Indemnified
Party under SECTION 11.4(b)(i).

        (iii) After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a
court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction
and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, or a settlement shall
have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall
arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter
alleged to be indemnified by an Indemnitor hereunder, the Indemnified Party
shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by it with
respect to such matter and the Indemnitor shall pay all of the sums so owing
to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer, certified or bank cashier's check
within 30 days after the date of such notice.

        (iv) The Indemnified Party shall neither be required to refrain from
paying or satisfying any claim which the Indemnitor has not acknowledged in
writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party, provided that the
Indemnified Party shall have given notice of such claim to the Indemnitor in
accordance with SECTIONS 11.3 and 11.4, or which has matured by court
judgment or decree, unless appeal is taken thereafter and proper appeal bond
posted by the Indemnitor, nor shall the Indemnified Party be required to
refrain from paying or satisfying any Third-Person Claim after and to the
extent that such Third-Person Claim has resulted in an unstayed permanent
injunction or other similar equitable relief against the Indemnified Party
(unless such claim shall have been discharged or enforcement thereof stayed
by the filing of a legally permitted bond by the Indemnitor or otherwise, at
its sole expense).

        (c) (i) Except as provided in SECTION 11.4(b)(iv), in the event that
an Indemnitor, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Party, on the other hand,
has reached a good faith, bona fide settlement agreement or compromise that
involves only monetary payment, subject only to approval hereunder, with any
claimant regarding a matter which may be the subject of indemnification
hereunder and desires to settle on the basis of such agreement or compromise
that involves only monetary payment, such party who desires to so settle or
compromise shall notify the other party in writing of its desire setting
forth the terms of such settlement or compromise (the "NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT").

        (ii) The Third-Person Claim may be settled or compromised on the
basis set forth in the Notice of Settlement unless within 20 days of the
receipt of the Notice of Settlement the party who issued the Notice of
Settlement receives a notice from the other party of its desire to continue
to contest the matter (the "NOTICE TO CONTEST") and, in such case:


                                Page 61


<PAGE>


        (A) Should the Indemnified Party deliver a Notice to Contest, the
claim shall be so contested and the monetary liability of the Indemnitor
shall be limited as provided in subsection (C) below.

        (B) If the settlement or compromise could result in a claim for
indemnification being made against the Indemnitor and if the Indemnitor
delivers the Notice to Contest, the claim shall be so contested and the
monetary liability of the Indemnified Party shall be limited as provided in
subsection (C) below.

        (C) If a matter is contested as provided in subsections (A) or (B)
above and is later adjudicated, settled, compromised or otherwise disposed of
and such adjudication, compromise, settlement or disposition results in a
liability, loss, damage or injury in excess of the amount for which one party
desired previously to settle the matter as set forth in the Notice of
Settlement, then the liability of such party shall be limited to such lesser
proposed settlement amount and the party contesting the matter shall be
solely responsible for the amount in excess of such lesser proposed
settlement amount and without regard to any minimum or maximum restriction on
liability described in this Agreement.

        (iii) For an Indemnitor's Notice to Contest to be effective, it must
also state that the Indemnitor acknowledges and agrees that it shall be
obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any amount in excess of the
lesser proposed settlement amount as described in subsection (ii)(C) above.
Except for such obligation for the excess of the lesser proposed settlement
amount acknowledged in a Notice to Contest, the giving of or failure to give
a Notice to  Contest by any party shall not be construed or implied as an
acknowledgment by such party of an obligation for indemnification under this
ARTICLE XI.

        (d) To the extent of any inconsistency between this SECTION 11.4 and
SECTION 8.3(d), the provisions of SECTION 8.3(d) shall control.

        SECTION 11.5.  LIMITATIONS. (a) In any case where an Indemnified
Party recovers from third Persons any amount in respect of a matter with
respect to which an Indemnitor has indemnified it pursuant to this ARTICLE
XI, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnitor the
amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the
expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the
sum of (i) any amount previously so paid by the Indemnitor to or on behalf of
the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter and (ii) any amount expended
by the Indemnitor in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such
matter.

        (b) Except for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of law and
injunctive and provisional relief, if the Closing occurs, this ARTICLE XI
shall be the exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement (including any
covenant, obligation,


                                Page 62

representation or warranty continued in this Agreement or any certificate
delivered pursuant to this Agreement) or otherwise in respect of the sale of
the Shares.

        (e) by Buyer pursuant to the penultimate proviso to SECTION 3.1; or

        (f) by Buyer or FDC if any court of competent jurisdiction in the
    United States or other United States Governmental Body shall have issued
    an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently
    restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the
    transactions contemplated hereby.

        SECTION 12.3.  EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event that FDC exercises
its right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with and pursuant solely
to paragraph (d) of SECTION 12.1 (PROVIDED that Buyer is not then eligible to
exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant solely to paragraph
(c) or (f) of SECTION 12.1), FDC shall be entitled to receive from Parent,
and Parent shall pay, a fee in cash equal to $5,000,000 as liquidated
damages, and not as a penalty, the parties agreeing that the damages to FDC
resulting from such a breach of Buyer or Parent are not capable of being
estimated with accuracy and that such amount is a reasonable estimate of the
probable loss to FDC.  In the event of such a termination by FDC, neither
Buyer or Parent shall have any other legal or equitable obligation to FDC,
FDC Health or the Company, in the nature of damages or otherwise; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall not limit any remedies that FDC may have
under the Confidentiality Agreement.  In the event that this Agreement shall
be terminated pursuant to any other paragraph of SECTION 12.1, nothing herein
shall relieve any party from any liability for its breach other than as
provided in this SECTION 12.3.

provided for herein and the preparation of this Agreement and other related
documents shall be held in confidence pursuant to the Confidentially
Agreement.

        SECTION 13.2.  NO PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT. Neither Buyer nor FDC shall,
without the approval of the other, make any press release or other public
announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
except as and to the extent that any such party shall be so obligated by law,
in which case the other party shall be advised and the parties shall use
their best efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to
be issued; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall not preclude
communications or disclosures necessary to implement the provisions of this
Agreement or to comply with the accounting and SEC disclosure obligations or
the rules of any stock exchange.

        (b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.  Nothing in

confer upon any Person other than the parties and successors and assigns
permitted by this SECTION 13.4 any right, remedy or claim under or by reason

        SECTION 13.5.  ACCESS TO RECORDS AFTER CLOSING. (a) For a period of

reasonable access to all of the books and records of the Company and the

in connection with matters relating to or affected by the operations of the
Company and the Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date.  Such access shall be
afforded by Buyer upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal
business hours.  FDC shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses
incurred by it pursuant to this SECTION 13.5(a).  If Buyer, the Company or
the Subsidiaries shall desire to dispose of any of such books and records
prior to the expiration of such six-year period, Buyer shall, prior to such
disposition, give FDC a reasonable opportunity, at FDC's expense, to
segregate and remove such books and records as FDC may select.

        (b) For a period of six years after the Closing Date, Buyer and its

the Closing Date.  Such access shall be afforded by FDC and its Affiliates
upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours.
Buyer shall be solely responsible for any costs and expenses incurred by it
pursuant to this SECTION 13.5(b).  If FDC or any of its Affiliates shall
desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of
such six-year period, FDC shall, prior to such disposition, give Buyer a
reasonable opportunity, at Buyer's expense, to segregate and remove such
books and records as Buyer may select.

        SECTION 13.6.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Agreement, the
Exhibits and SCHEDULES referred to herein and the documents delivered
pursuant hereto and the Confidentiality Agreement contain the entire
understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter
contained herein or therein, and supersede all other prior agreements,
understandings or letters of intent between or among any of the parties
hereto.  This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except
by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of the
parties hereto.

        SECTION 13.7.  INTERPRETATION. Articles, titles and headings to
sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not
intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement.  The SCHEDULES and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed
with and as an integral part of this


                                Page 66


<PAGE>


Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.
Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or
warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item
in any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or
lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not
material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such
amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy
between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not
described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not material for
purposes of this Agreement.  Unless this Agreement specifically provides
otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of
any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such item
or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course
of business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the
inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between
the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein
or included in any Schedule is or is not in the ordinary course of business
for purposes of this Agreement.  FDC may, from time to time prior to or at
the Closing, by notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
supplement, amend or create any Schedule, in order to add information or
correct previously supplied information.  No such amendment shall be
evidence, in and of itself, that the representations and warranties in the
corresponding section are no longer true and correct in all material
respects.  It is specifically agreed that such Schedules may be amended to
add immaterial, as well as material, items thereto.  No such supplemental,
amended or additional Schedule shall be deemed to cure any breach for
purposes of SECTION 9.1.  If, however, the Closing occurs, then, except as
provided in the first paragraph of ARTICLE IX and the first paragraph of
ARTICLE X, any such supplement, amendment or addition will be effective to
cure and correct for all other purposes any breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant which would have existed if FDC had not made such
supplement, amendment or addition, and all references to any Schedule hereto
which is supplemented or amended as provided in this SECTION 13.7 shall for
all purposes after the Closing be deemed to be a reference to such Schedule
as so supplemented or amended.

        SECTION 13.8.  WAIVERS. Any term or provision of this Agreement may
be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or
parties entitled to the benefit thereof.  Any such waiver shall be validly
and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any
party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such
party.  The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision
of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision,
nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or
the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.
No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a
waiver of any other or subsequent breach.


                                Page 67


<PAGE>


        SECTION 13.9.  EXPENSES. Except as provided in the Registration
Rights Agreement, each party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident
to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance
and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its
part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and independent public accountants.

        SECTION 13.10.  PARTIAL INVALIDITY. Wherever possible, each provision
hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained
herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only
to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without
invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a
construction would be unreasonable.

        SECTION 13.11.  EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an
original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same
agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been
signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to each of FDC, the
Company, Buyer and Parent.

        SECTION 13.12.  FURTHER ASSURANCES. On and after the Closing Date
each party hereto shall take such other actions and execute such other
documents and instruments of conveyance and transfer as may be reasonably
requested by the other party hereto from time to time to effectuate or
confirm the transfer of the Shares to Buyer in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.

        SECTION 13.13.  GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the internal laws (as opposed to the
conflicts of law provisions) of the State of New York.

        SECTION 13.14.  DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. FDC makes no
representations or warranties with respect to any projections, forecasts or
forward-looking information provided to Parent or Buyer.  There is no
assurance that any projected or forecasted results will be achieved.  EXCEPT
AS TO THOSE MATTERS EXPRESSLY COVERED BY THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CERTIFICATE DELIVERED BY FDC PURSUANT TO SECTION
4.4, FDC IS SELLING THE SHARES (AND THE BUSINESS AND ASSETS OF THE COMPANY
REPRESENTED THEREBY) ON AN "AS IS, WHERE IS" BASIS AND DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND GUARANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.  FDC
MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR


                                Page 68


<PAGE>


ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER.  Parent and
Buyer acknowledge that neither FDC nor any of its representatives nor any
other Person has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as
to the accuracy or completeness of any memoranda, charts, summaries or
schedules heretofore made available by FDC or its representatives to Parent
or Buyer or any other information which is not included in this Agreement or
the Schedules hereto, and neither FDC nor any of its representatives nor any
other Person will have or be subject to any liability to Parent, any
Affiliate of Parent or any other Person resulting from the distribution of
any such information to, or use of any such information by, Parent, any
Affiliate of Parent or any of their agents, consultants, accountants, counsel
or other representatives.

                 HBOC COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF FDC HEALTH SYSTEMS GROUP

        ATLANTA, June 19, 1995 -- HBO & Company (Nasdaq:HBOC) today announced
it has completed the acquisition of the Charlotte-based Health Systems Group
of First Data Corporation (HSG).  HBOC purchased HSG for 4 million shares of
HBOC stock.  The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase of assets.
During the second quarter, HBOC will take a one-time pretax charge of
approximately $125 million for the acquisition, primarily related to
purchased research and development for HSG.
        With 1994 revenue of approximately $121 million, HSG has more than
500 customers.
        "The acquisition of HSG is a continuation of HBOC's strategy to
deliver new enterprisewide solutions while continuing to support and enhance
our customers existing  products ," said Charles W. McCall, HBOC president
and chief executive officer.  "We believe the combination of our product
strength, customer base and financial position gives us a strategic advantage
in the healthcare informatics industry."
        HBOC announced its plans to acquire HSG on May 16, 1995.  Since then,
the company has been working to ensure a smooth transition of the HSG
business to HBOC, says vice president James A. Gilbert.  "Our overriding goal
is to provide uninterrupted, high-quality service to every HSG customer," he
said. "At the same time, we've taken steps to eliminate redundancies and
streamline processes to ensure future profitability."
        Gilbert said that HBOC will operate HSG as a business unit under the
leadership of Chuck Miller, a former HSG vice president, who will report to
Gilbert.
        HBO & Company delivers underpriced patient care, clinical, financial
and strategic management software solutions, as well as networking
technologies, outsourcing and other services to healthcare organizations in
the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1994

NOTE 1:  BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

First Data Health Systems Corporation ("HSC") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
First Data Corporation ("FDC").

Through its wholly-owned domestic and international subsidiary companies, HSC
provides management information systems and services to hospitals, medical
group practices, and medical facilities throughout the United States, as well
as Australia, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and other countries
(collectively, the "Health Services Business" or the "Company"). The Company
offers a comprehensive range of computer-based services, including
computerized patient records, medical records imaging, on-line patient file
management, account billing, scheduling, accounting, payroll, and insurance
and claims processing.

In addition to its ownership of the Company, HSC is the parent company of ACB
Business Services, Inc. ("ACB") and The Shareholder Services Group, Inc.
("TSSG") which provide services in and to the accounts receivable management
and mutual fund industries, respectively. The accompanying financial
statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows of HSC's Health Services Business and do not include the accounts of
ACB and TSSG. All material intercompany accounts and transactions within the
Health Services Business have been eliminated in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements.


NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company has principally defined cash and cash equivalents as cash, time
deposits, and certain highly liquid instruments with maturities of three
months or less at the date of purchase.

INVENTORY
Inventory consists of data processing equipment components for assembly and
repair parts and is carried at lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market.

EQUIPMENT, FURNITURE AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Equipment and furniture are depreciated over their estimated useful lives
ranging from 3 to 8 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of their estimated lives (ranging from 3 to 10 years) or the
remaining lease term. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line

method. Included in equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements are
assets held under capital lease agreements of $918,000, net of accumulated
amortization of $1,485,000 as of December 31, 1994.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of
tangible and other identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed
arising from the acquisitions of McDonnell Douglas Health Systems Company in
1989 and Gerber Alley & Associates, Inc. ("Gerber Alley") in 1992 and is
being amortized over estimated useful lives of 40 and 25 years, respectively.
Other intangible assets principally consist of software related to these
acquisitions. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
estimated length of the benefit period, from 5 to 10 years.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company has expensed software development costs since the capitalization
and subsequent amortization thereof, as required under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, would not have a material impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company provides its customers with information systems solutions either
in a service bureau capacity ("Host Based Services") or through the sale of
integrated minicomputer hardware and software solutions ("Turnkey Services").
Revenue attributable to Host Based Services is based principally upon
transaction volumes and is recognized as services are performed. Revenue
attributable to Turnkey Services is generally recognized as follows:

          Software license fees -- For those agreements for which the
          Company's remaining obligations are insignificant, software license
          fees are recognized at the installation date. In situations where
          the Company's remaining obligations are significant, the license
          fees are deferred and amortized over the contract term which is
          generally seven years.

          Hardware -- Hardware sales and the related cost of sales are
          generally recognized upon delivery of the equipment.

          Services -- Implementation, installation, monthly software support
          and other fees are recognized upon billing which generally occurs
          as work is performed.

With respect to Turnkey products under development, all revenues have been
deferred.

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method required by
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The taxable income of the
Company is included in the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return of
FDC. Under an agreement with FDC, the provision for income taxes and tax
benefits is determined by the Company on a stand-alone basis. Current income
taxes are remitted to, and benefits received from, FDC.

NOTE 3: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

"Intercompany loan -- FDC, net" on the Balance Sheet includes a
noninterest-bearing intercompany receivable of approximately $18 million.
"Interest Expense" on the Statement of Income primarily represents interest
paid on the interest-bearing portion of the intercompany loan from FDC. The
loan bears interest at an annually adjusted floating rate (8.25% for 1994)
reflective of FDC's cost of external debt and is repaid based upon available
cash flows of the Company.

In December 1993, FDC announced its decision to consolidate its data center
operations and recorded a charge to earnings with respect thereto. Included
therein was the decision to relocate the Company's and other FDC affiliates'
data center assets and operations to a shared FDC facility. This relocation
occurred in early 1994 and effectively resulted in an outsourcing agreement
with an FDC affiliate. The Company is charged based upon usage. The
accompanying Statement of Income reflects approximately $4.5 million of
charges related to data processing services. As this relocation was part of
an FDC companywide initiative, the Company's financial statements do not
reflect any expenses associated therewith.

In addition, the accompanying Statement of Income reflects charges from FDC
and its subsidiaries of approximately $7.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994, which are principally attributable to the Company's
participation in certain FDC insurance, benefit and incentive plans, as well
as certain other services provided during those years. The majority of the
expenses are charged based on usage and/or actual costs. Management does not
believe that, had the Company been operating other than as an affiliate of
FDC, there would have been a material impact on net income.

Deferred income taxes result from the recognition of temporary differences.
Temporary differences are differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will
result in differences between income for tax purposes and income for
financial statement purposes in future years. The provision for income taxes

NOTE 6: RETIREMENT PLANS

DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN
Eligible employees of the Company participate in FDC's U.S. defined benefit
pension plan. Net pension costs for the year ended December 31, 1994 were
approximately $1.0 million. Such amounts are included in the charges from FDC
in Note 3.

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
FDC has an incentive savings plan which allows eligible employees of FDC and
its subsidiaries to contribute a percentage of their compensation and
provides for certain matching and service related contributions. The
Company's matching and service related contributions associated with the plan
were approximately $1.5 million in 1994. Such amounts are included in the
charges from FDC in Note 3.

NOTE 7: STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

Certain of the Company's officers, key employees and other individuals
participate in the First Data Corporation 1992 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
"1992 Plan"). Awards under the 1992 Plan may be in the form of stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance grants and other
types of awards that the Compensation and Benefits Committee of FDC's Board
of Directors deems to be consistent with the purposes of the 1992 Plan. FDC
options granted to the Company's employees are generally at a price
equivalent to the fair market value at the date of grant.

NOTE 8: OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company leases certain office facilities and operating equipment under
cancelable and noncancelable agreements. Total rent expense was $6.6 million
for the year ended December 31, 1994.

At December 31, 1994, the minimum aggregate rental commitment under all
noncancelable leases was (thousands): 1995, $5,950; 1996, $5,928; 1997,
$5,083; 1998, $4,510; 1999, $4,461; and $4,763 for years thereafter. Most
leases contain standard renewal clauses.

NOTE 9: CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in litigation primarily arising in the normal course
of its business. In the opinion of management, the Company's recovery or
liability, if any, under any pending litigation, would not materially affect
its financial condition or operations.

NOTE 9: CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

The company is and has been an authorized value-added reseller ("VAR") of
Tandem Computers Incorporated ("Tandem") through a VAR agreement. The Company
markets and sells its proprietary systems with with Tandem computer hardware
and software, thereby sublicensing Tandem's software to its clients. Tandem
has asserted a claim against the Company for license and maintenance fees
related to software for which it believes the Company did not possess a
licensing arrangement. The Company is currently in negotiations with Tandem
to extend its VAR agreement and provide remedies to Tandem's claim. These
remedies are intended to include continued and expanded use of Tandem
hardware and software with the Company's systems, including its newly
developed systems. The Company believes that settlement of this licensing
issue with Tandem as presently contemplated will not result in a material
adverse impact to the Company's financial position. Should circumstances
arise which would preclude the Company from entering into the presently
contemplated settlement, the Company could be subject to a material financial
obligation.

The Company has entered into contractual agreements to provide turnkey
products to a number of customers which turnkey products are in various
stages of development. All software license fees received to date for these
products have been deferred as has the gross profit on hardware deliveries to
date. In the event the Company is unable to fulfill its obligations under
these contractual agreements, the remedies available to the affected
customers are generally limited to a recovery of amounts paid to the Company.
In the case of hardware, the amount to be refunded by the Company could be in
excess of market value of the hardware. In order to remedy potential breaches
of contract, the Company has negotiated modifications to certain customer
contracts and expects to enter into further negotiations. The Company does
not believe that the final resolution of issues pertaining to these contracts
will have a material adverse impact on its financial position.

In conjunction with the renewal of certain client contracts, the Company
committed to provide certain replacement software without charge. Such
replacement software may be developed by the Company or more likely, in the
alternative, purchased from third parties in which case the estimated costs
would range from approximately $1.8 million to $3.1 million through 1997.

NOTE 10: CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to credit risk
resulting from the possibility that a loss may occur from the failure of
another party to perform according to the terms of the contract. The Company
regularly monitors credit risk exposures and takes steps to mitigate the
likelihood of these exposures resulting in a loss. The primary counterparties
to the Company's accounts receivable and sources of the Company's revenues
consist of healthcare providers.

wholly-owned subsidiary of FDC.

                          DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1992


NOTE 1: BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

First Data Health Systems Corporation ("HSC") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
First Data Corporation ("FDC"). FDC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of American
Express Company ("American Express") prior to an initial public offering in
April 1992 ("the IPO").

Through its wholly-owned domestic and international subsidiary companies, HSC
provides management information systems and services to hospitals, medical
group practices, and medical facilities throughout the United States, as well
as Australia, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and other countries
(collectively, the "Health Services Business" or the "Company"). The Company
offers a comprehensive range of computer-based services, including
computerized patient records, medical records imaging, on-line patient file
management, account billing, scheduling, accounting, payroll, and insurance
and claims processing.

In addition to its ownership of the Company, HSC is the parent company of ACB
Business Services, Inc. ("ACB") and The Shareholder Services Group, Inc.
("TSSG") which provide services in and to the accounts receivable management
and mutual fund industries, respectively. The accompanying financial
statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows of HSC's Health Services Business and do not include the accounts of
ACB and TSSG. All material intercompany accounts and transactions within the
Health Services Business have been eliminated in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements.


NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company has principally defined cash and cash equivalents as cash, time
deposits, and certain highly liquid instruments with maturities of three
months or less at the date of purchase.

INVENTORY
Inventory consists of data processing equipment components for assembly and
repair parts and is carried at lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market.

EQUIPMENT, FURNITURE AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Equipment and furniture are depreciated over their estimated useful lives
ranging from 3 to 8 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of their estimated lives (ranging from 3 to 10 years) or the
remaining lease term. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line

method. Included in equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements are
assets held under capital lease agreements of $1,589,000 and $2,366,000, net
of accumulated amortization of $777,000 and $0 as of December 31, 1993 and
1992, respectively.

In 1992, the Company completed the sale of a building for approximately $3
million primarily in exchange for a note. This transaction is excluded from
the Statement of Cash Flows because it did not involve cash.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of
tangible and other identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed
arising from the acquisitions of McDonnell Douglas Health Systems Company in
1989 and Gerber Alley & Associates, Inc. in 1992 and is being amortized over
estimated useful lives of 40 and 25 years, respectively. Other intangible
assets principally consist of software related to these acquisitions. These
costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated length of the
benefit period, from 5 to 10 years.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company has expensed software development costs since the capitalization
and subsequent amortization thereof, as required under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 86, would not have a material impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company provides its customers with information systems solutions either
in a service bureau capacity ("Host Based Services") or through the sale of
integrated minicomputer hardware and software solutions ("Turnkey
Services"). Revenue attributable to Host Based Services is based principally
upon transaction volumes and is recognized as services are performed. Revenue
attributable to Turnkey Services is recognized as follows:

        Software license fees -- For those agreements for which the Company's
        remaining obligations are insignificant, software license fees are
        recognized at the installation date. In situations where the
        Company's remaining obligations are significant, the license fees
        are deferred and amortized over the contract term which is generally
        seven years.

        Hardware -- Hardware sales and the related cost of sales are
        generally recognized upon delivery of the equipment.

        Services -- Implementation, installation, monthly software support
        and other fees are recognized upon billing which generally occurs
        as work is performed.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," as of January 1, 1992. The adoption of
SFAS No. 109 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
condition or its results of operations.

The taxable income of the Company is included in the consolidated U.S.
federal income tax return of FDC. Under an agreement with FDC, the provision
for income taxes and tax benefits is determined by the Company on a
stand-alone basis. Current income taxes are remitted to, and benefits
received from, FDC. Prior to the IPO, the taxable income of FDC (including
the Company) was included in the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return
of American Express.

NOTE 3: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

"Intercompany loan -- FDC, net" on the Balance Sheet includes a
noninterest-bearing intercompany receivable of approximately $18 million.
"Interest Expense" on the Statement of Income primarily represents interest
paid on the interest-bearing portion of the intercompany loan from FDC. The
loan bears interest at an annually adjusted floating rate (9% for 1993 and
1992) reflective of FDC's cost of external debt and is repaid based upon
available cash flows of the Company.

The accompanying Statement of Income reflects charges from FDC and its
subsidiaries of approximately $9.3 million and $6.9 million for the years
ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Such amounts are principally
attributable to the Company's participation in certain FDC insurance, benefit
and incentive plans, as well as certain other services provided during those
years. The majority of the expenses are charged based on usage and/or actual
costs. Management does not believe that, had the Company been operating other
than as an affiliate of FDC, there would have been a material impact on net
income.

In December 1993, FDC announced its decision to consolidate its data center
operations and recorded a charge to earnings with respect thereto. Included
therein was the decision to relocate the Company's and other FDC
affiliates' data center assets and operations to a shared FDC facility. This
relocation occurred in early 1994 and effectively resulted in an outsourcing
agreement with an FDC affiliate. The Company will be charged based upon
usage. As this relocation was part of an FDC companywide initiative, the
Company's financial statements do not reflect any expenses associated
therewith.

NOTE 4: ACQUISITIONS

The Company completed the purchase of Gerber Alley & Associates, Inc.
("Gerber Alley") in December 1992 for a cash purchase price of approximately

Deferred income taxes result from the recognition of temporary differences.
Temporary differences are differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will
result in differences between income for tax purposes and income for
financial statement purposes in future years. The provision for income taxes

NOTE 7: RETIREMENT PLAN

Eligible employees of the Company participate in FDC's U.S. defined benefit
pension plan that covers substantially all full-time employees of FDC and its
participating subsidiaries. Net pension costs for the years ended December
31, 1993 and 1992 were approximately $1,143,000 and $1,118,000, respectively.
Such amounts are included in the charges from FDC in Note 3.


NOTE 8: EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
Certain of the Company's officers, key employees and other individuals
participate in the First Data Corporation 1992 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
"1992 Plan'). Awards under the 1992 Plan may be in the form of stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance grants and other
types of awards that the Compensation and Benefits Committee of FDC's Board
of Directors deems to be consistent with the purposes of the 1992 Plan. FDC
options granted to the Company's employees are generally at a price
equivalent to the fair market value at the date of grant.

INCENTIVE SAVINGS PLAN
FDC has an incentive savings plan which allows eligible employees of FDC and
its subsidiaries to contribute a percentage of their compensation and
provides for certain matching and service related contributions. The
Company's matching and service related contributions associated with the plan
were approximately $1,568,000 and $975,000 in 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Such amounts are included in the charges from FDC in Note 3.

NOTE 9: OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company leases certain office facilities and operating equipment under
cancelable and noncancelable agreements. Total rent expense was $7,662,000
and $6,784,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

At December 31, 1993, the minimum aggregate rental commitment under all
noncancelable leases was (thousands): 1994, $7,645; 1995, $6,944; 1996,
$6,679; 1997, $6,246; 1998, $5,919; and $13,518 for years thereafter. Most
leases contain standard renewal clauses.

NOTE 10: CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in litigation primarily arising in the normal course
of its business. In the opinion of management, the Company's recovery or
liability, if any, under any pending litigation, would not materially affect
its financial condition or operations.

The company is and has been an authorized value-added reseller ("VAR") of
Tandem Computers Incorporated ("Tandem") through a VAR agreement. The Company
markets and sells its proprietary systems with Tandem computer hardware and
software, thereby sublicensing Tandem's software to its clients. Tandem has
asserted a claim against the Company for license and maintenance fees related
to software for which it believes the Company did not possess a licensing
arrangement. The Company is currently in negotiations with Tandem to extend
its VAR agreement and provide remedies to Tandem's claim. These remedies are
intended to include continued and expanded use of Tandem hardware and
software with the Company's systems, including its newly developed systems.
The Company believes that settlement of this licensing issue with Tandem as
presently contemplated will not result in a material adverse impact to the
Company's financial position. Should circumstances arise which would preclude
the Company from entering into the presently contemplated settlement, the
Company could be subject to a material financial obligation.

In conjunction with the renewal of certain client contracts, the Company
committed to provide certain replacement software without charge. Such
replacement software may be developed by the Company or more likely, in the
alternative, purchased from third parties in which case the estimated costs
would range from approximately $1.8 million to $3.5 million through 1997.

NOTE 11: CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to credit risk
resulting from the possibility that a loss may occur from the failure of
another party to perform according to the terms of the contract. The Company
regularly monitors credit risk exposures and takes steps to mitigate the
likelihood of these exposures resulting in a loss. The primary counterparties
to the Company's accounts receivable and sources of the Company's revenues
consist of healthcare providers.

On June 17, 1995, FDC sold its entire ownership interest in the common stock
of HSC to HBO & Company. Immediately prior to closing, HSC's ownership
interest in the capital stock of ACB and TSSG was distributed to a
wholly-owned subsidiary of FDC.

           Report of Ernst & Young LLP Independent Auditors


The Board of Directors and Stockholder
First Data Health Systems Corporation


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Health Services
Business of First Data Health Systems Corporation (the "Health Services
Business") as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of
income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of management of the Health
Services Business. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Health Services Business
at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED INCOME STATEMENTS
(000 Omitted)


1. The attached Pro Forma Combined Income Statements for the six months ended
June 30, 1995, and the year ended December 31, 1994, give effect to the
acquisition of First Data Health Systems Corporation (HSG) which was
completed on June 17, 1995.  The adjustments related to the Pro Forma
Combined Income Statements assume the transaction was consummated January 1
of each year presented.

No Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheets are included in these Pro Forma
Statements since the HBO & Company Balance Sheet at June 30, 1995, includes
HSG.

HBO & Company accounted for the acquisition as a purchase.  Accordingly, pro
forma adjustments include such adjustments as are necessary to allocate the
purchase price based on the estimated fair market value of the assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed and  to give effect to events that are
directly attributable to the transaction, expected to have a continuing
impact on HBOC and are factually supportable.

The Pro Forma Combined Income Statements are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations which would have been attained had the acquisition
been consummated on the dates indicated or which may be attained in the
future. The Pro Forma Combined Income Statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of HBOC and
the historical financial statements of HSG.

2. HSG revenue and expense classifications were historically broken out using
different policies than those applied by HBOC.  The adjustments necessary to
reclassify HSG revenue and expenses in accordance with HBOC policies are:

Historically, HSG netted certain costs against revenue for presentation,
while HBOC has historically reported revenue as a gross number.

3. The following adjustments are necessary to adjust the June 30, 1995, and
December 31, 1994, income statement impact of the asset and liability fair
market value adjustments assuming the transaction had been consummated on
January 1 of each year presented:

</TABLE>

HBOC recorded deferred revenue acquired at its cost (the cost to service
remaining commitment).  The net profit which had been deferred has been
eliminated.

The reduction of expense related to terminated employees results from the
permanent termination of certain HSG employees in order to eliminate certain
redundant positions and increase the efficiency of the combined operations.

4. HSG was charged an allocated amount for the use of First Data
Corporation's Data Center.  In 1994, the amount charged was less than that
deemed reasonable by management by $1,500.  The adjusted charge reflects that
which will be charged to HBOC in the future.  The 1995 charge has been deemed
reasonable by management.

5. In the second quarter of 1995, HBOC recorded a $125,520 purchased research
and development charge directly attributable to the purchase of HSG.  Since
this amount is a nonrecurring charge, it has been excluded from these Pro
Forma Statements.

6. The provision for income tax was derived by using the HBOC effective tax
rate of 40%.

7. The weighted average shares outstanding have been adjusted to give effect
to the 4 million shares outstanding assuming the transaction had been
consummated on January 1 of each year presented and to give effect to the
dilutive effect of stock options outstanding at June 30, 1995, assuming that
HBOC had net income instead of a net loss.
