          WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive are party to an Employment Agreement dated October 8, 2001 (the “Original Employment Agreement”), and the Company and the Executive desire to amend and restate the Original Employment Agreement on the terms hereinafter set forth which include the extension of the Employment Period (as hereinafter defined);

          WHEREAS, the Company acknowledges that WebMD Health Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of the Company (“WebMD Health”), has filed a Form S-1 registration statement that contemplates an initial public offering of the securities of WebMD Health pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”);

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

          1. Employment. (a) The Company hereby continues to employ Executive as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and Executive hereby accepts such continued employment with the Company. Executive shall report to, and perform such duties and services for the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates (such subsidiaries and affiliates, collectively, “Affiliates”) commensurate with such position as may be designated from time to time by, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and not a committee thereof. During the Employment Period, the Company shall, subject to its fiduciary duties, use its best efforts to include Executive in management’s nominees for election, and recommend the election of Executive, as a member of the Board and to appoint him to serve on the Executive Committee of the Board (if any).

          (b) Executive shall also serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of WebMD Health (the “WebMD Health Board”). In such capacity, Executive shall report to, and perform such duties and services for WebMD Health and its subsidiaries commensurate with such position as may be designated from time to time by, the WebMD Health Board, and not a committee thereof. During the Employment Period, WebMD Health shall, subject to its fiduciary duties, use its best efforts to include Executive in management’s nominees for election, and recommend the election of Executive, as a member of the WebMD Health Board and to appoint him to serve on the Executive Committee of the WebMD Health Board (if any).

          (c) Executive shall use his best efforts to promote the interests of the Company and its Affiliates. Executive shall have flexibility in determining his work schedule, and shall not be required to work a fixed number of hours during any particular day, week or

month. Executive may render his services from his home or any other convenient location from which he can maintain communication with the Company. During the Employment Period, Executive shall not be required to move from his current residence and any travel shall be at Executive’s reasonable discretion. Subject to Section 6 and Executive’s affirmative obligations to render services under this Agreement, it is understood that Executive’s employment hereunder does not preclude him from (i) being engaged in other business activities, (ii) serving in any capacity with any civic, educational or charitable organization, or any trade association or (iii) serving on the board of directors of any corporation.

          2. Compensation and Benefits.

          2.1 Salary. The Company shall pay Executive for services during the Employment Period a base salary at the annual rate of $1.26 million; provided, however, that upon consummation of the Offering (as defined below), the base salary shall be reduced to $975,000 per annum. Executive’s base salary shall be payable in equal installments, no less frequently than monthly, pursuant to the Company’s customary payroll policies in force at the time of payment, less any required or authorized payroll deductions. In addition, Executive’s base salary may be increased (but not decreased) in the discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Offering” shall occur when a portion of the securities of WebMD Health are registered pursuant to the 1933 Act and are first publicly traded.

          2.2 WebMD Health Equity. (a) In the event of the consummation of the Offering, WebMD Health shall recommend to the Compensation Committee of the WebMD Health Board (the “WebMD Health Compensation Committee”) that Executive be granted a nonqualified option (the “WebMD Health Stock Option”) to purchase 400,000 shares of WebMD Health’s common stock. The WebMD Health Stock Option grant assumes a capitalization of 100 million shares of WebMD Health outstanding (on a fully diluted basis) upon the consummation of the Offering. The number of shares corresponding to the WebMD Health Stock Option shall be adjusted proportionately upward or downward in the event the capitalization of WebMD Health, upon the consummation of the Offering, is greater or less than the 100 million shares assumed above. The WebMD Health Stock Option shall be at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of WebMD Health’s common stock (as determined by the WebMD Health Compensation Committee) on the date on which the Offering is consummated (the “Offering Effective Date”) determined in the same manner and at the same price as options granted to other senior executives of WebMD Health. The WebMD Health Stock Option shall be granted pursuant to the terms of a stock option plan and a stock option agreement (the “WebMD Health Stock Option Agreement”) to be entered into between Executive and WebMD Health, which agreement shall be in substantially the same form provided by WebMD Health to its employees generally. The WebMD Health Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable, subject to Executive’s continued engagement with WebMD Health on such dates (except as otherwise provided in Sections 4 and 5 below) in accordance with the following schedule: 25% shall vest on the first anniversary of the Offering Effective Date and 25% shall vest on each of the subsequent three anniversaries of the Offering Effective Date.

          (b) In the event of the consummation of the Offering, WebMD Health shall recommend to the WebMD Health Compensation Committee that Executive be granted 100,000

shares of restricted stock of WebMD Health on the Offering Effective Date (the “WebMD Health Restricted Stock”), subject to proportionate adjustment in the number of shares of WebMD Health Restricted Stock as provided in Section 2.2(a) above. The WebMD Health Restricted Stock shall vest and the restrictions thereon shall lapse in equal annual installments over four years, commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant subject to Executive’s continued employment on the applicable dates except as otherwise provided in Sections 4 and 5 below. The WebMD Health Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms of a stock plan and a restricted stock agreement (the “WebMD Health Restricted Stock Agreement”) to be entered into between Executive and WebMD Health, which agreement shall be in substantially the same form provided by WebMD Health to its employees generally.

          (c) Executive understands and acknowledges that, while WebMD Health is working diligently towards consummation of the Offering, there can be no assurance that the Offering will occur. If the Offering does not occur, WebMD Health shall have no obligation under this Section 2.2.

          2.3 Benefits. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to participate, on the same basis and at the same level as other senior officers of the Company, in any group insurance, hospitalization, medical, health and accident, disability, fringe benefit and tax-qualified retirement plans or programs of the Company now existing or hereafter established to the extent that he is eligible under the general provisions thereof.

          2.4 Expenses. Pursuant to the Company’s customary policies in force at the time of payment, Executive shall be promptly reimbursed, against presentation of vouchers or receipts therefor, for all authorized expenses properly and reasonably incurred by him on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates in the performance of his duties hereunder.

          2.5 Car Allowance. During the Employment Period, the Company shall provide Executive with a car allowance in accordance with Company policy.

          2.6 Use of Aircraft. During the Employment Period and the Consulting Period (as defined below), the Company shall provide Executive with the use of a corporate aircraft selected by Executive for business purposes. Executive shall also have the right to use such aircraft for personal reasons, provided that Executive shall reimburse the Company for any incremental out-of-pocket costs (e.g., fuel and catering) (computed on an hourly basis) the Company incurs as a result of Executive’s personal use of such aircraft.

          2.7 Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation time in amounts commensurate with his position with the Company. The date or dates of such vacations shall be selected by Executive having reasonable regard to the business needs of the Company and WebMD Health.

          3. Employment Period. Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date, and shall terminate on the fifth anniversary thereof, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 5 or renewed pursuant to this Section 3 (the “Employment Period”). Unless written notice of either party’s desire to terminate the Employment Period has been given to the other party prior to the expiration of the Employment Period (or any one-month

renewal thereof contemplated by this sentence), the Employment Period shall be automatically renewed for successive one-month periods.

          4. Change in Control. (a) In the event that a Company Change in Control (as defined below) occurs during the Employment Period, all of Executive’s options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (or any Affiliate’s common stock) or any other form of equity compensation (in the Company or one of its Affiliates) granted to Executive and held as of the date on which the Company Change in Control occurs (collectively, the “Outstanding Equity”) shall become fully vested and exercisable (or equivalent feature of another form of equity compensation) on the date on which such Company Change in Control occurs and if his employment terminates for any reason other than Cause (as defined below), such equity will remain outstanding (or equivalent) until the expiration of its original term (e.g., the tenth anniversary of the applicable date of grant of an option).

          (e) For the purposes of this Agreement and for the avoidance of doubt, no public offering or any split-off, spin-off or other divesture of WebMD Health by the Company shall constitute a WebMD Health Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement.

With respect to any continuation of Executive’s insurance coverage under this Section 5.3(a), the Company may require Executive to elect “COBRA”, and, in such case, the Company will, subject to the proviso to the sentence

above, pay that portion of the COBRA premium that the Company pays for active employees with the same coverage for the period that Executive is eligible for COBRA. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding in Section 5.2 or this Section 5.3, the Company shall have no obligation to continue to maintain any Welfare Plan solely as a result of the provisions of this Agreement.

          (d) Construction. Executive hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees as follows:

          (i) the covenants set forth in this Section 6 are reasonable in all respects and are necessary to protect the legitimate business and competitive interests of the Company; and

          (ii) In the event that any provision of this Section 6 shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction by reason of the geographic or business scope or the duration thereof of such covenant, or for any other reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to the particular aspect of such provision found invalid or unenforceable as applied and shall not affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Section 6 and the provision shall be construed as if the geographic or business scope or the duration of such provision or other basis on which such provisions have been challenged had been more narrowly drafted so as not to be invalid or unenforceable.

          (e) Enforcement; Remedies. Executive covenants, agrees and recognizes that because the breach of the covenants, or any of them, contained in Section 6 hereof may result in immediate and irreparable injury to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to seek an injunction restraining Executive from any violation of Section 6 to the fullest extent allowed by law. Executive further covenants and agrees that in the event of a material breach of any of the respective covenants and agreements contained in this Section 6, the period during which Executive is obligated to refrain from competing shall be extended for the entire period of such breach. Executive further covenants, agrees and recognizes that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a material breach of any of the respective covenants and agreements contained in this Section 6, which remains uncured 30 days after written notice from the Company, the Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall cease. The Company’s entitlement to seek injunctive relief or ceasing any further Company obligation under this Agreement shall be the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event that Executive breaches any covenant or agreement contained in this Section 6; provided, however, that in the case of any willful material breach by Executive of the covenants and agreements contained in Section 6 hereof, nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other legal or equitable remedies that may be available to it for any such breach, including the recovery of damages from Executive.

          7. Gross-Up Payment. (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution or benefit received or to be received by Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other payment or distribution or benefit made or provided by the Company, or any of its Affiliates, to or for the benefit of Executive (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise and determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 7) (a “Payment”) would be

subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, is hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income and employment taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the sum of (x) the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments and (y) the product of any deductions actually disallowed under Section 68 of the Code solely as a direct result of the inclusion of the Gross-Up Payment in Executive’s adjusted gross income and the highest applicable marginal rate of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to (i) pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rates of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and (ii) pay applicable state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

          (ii) Subject to the provisions of Sections 7(i) and 7(iii), all determinations required to be made under this Section 7, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by the Company’s certified public accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from Executive or the Company that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 7, shall be paid by the Company to Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 7(iii) and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive.

          (iii) Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the U.S. IRS (the “IRS”) that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which

Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall:

          (b) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim;

          (c) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company; and

          (d) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim;

provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income and employment tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(iii), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive shall agree to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the amount of such payment to Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income and employment tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and provided further, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue (an “Other Issue”) raised by the IRS or any other taxing authority; provided, however, that if, solely as a result of any contest by the Company pursuant to this Section 7(iii), Executive’s ability to settle or otherwise resolve any such Other Issue is delayed, then the Company will reimburse Executive, on an after-tax basis, for any additional interest incurred by Executive as a result of such delay.

          (iv) If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 7(iii), Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section

7(iii)) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 7(iii), a determination is made that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

          8. Notices. Any notice or communication given by either party hereto to the other shall be in writing and personally delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the following addresses:

          (a) if to the Company:

669 River Road, Center 2 Elmwood Park, NJ 07407 Attention: Executive Vice President — General Counsel

          (b) if to Executive, to the address reflected in the Company’s payroll records.

Any notice shall be deemed given when actually delivered to such address, or two days after such notice has been mailed or sent by overnight courier, whichever comes earliest. Any person entitled to receive notice may designate in writing, by notice to the other, such other address which notices to such person shall thereafter be sent.

          9. Miscellaneous.

          9.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the WebMD Health Stock Option Agreement and the WebMD Health Restricted Stock Agreement (as well as the various option agreements between Executive and the Company entered into prior to the Effective Date and the plans under which such options were granted) contain the entire understanding of the parties in respect of its subject matter and this Agreement supersedes upon its effectiveness all other prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter (including, without limitation, the Original Employment Agreement). To the extent there are inconsistencies between this Agreement and such stock option and other plans and agreements the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

          9.2 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, canceled or discharged, except by written instrument executed by the party affected thereby. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision.

          9.3 Binding Effect; Assignment. The rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Company by reorganization, merger or consolidation, or any assignee of all or substantially all of the Company’s business and properties. Executive’s rights or obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned by Executive, except that the right specified in Section 5.2 shall pass upon Executive’s death to Executive’s executor or administrator.

          9.4 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

          9.5 Governing Law; Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed for all purposes by the laws of the State of New Jersey.

          9.6 Further Assurances. Each of the parties agrees to execute, acknowledge, deliver and perform, and cause to be executed, acknowledged, delivered and performed, at any time and from time to time, as the case may be, all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions or intent of this Agreement.

          9.7 Severability. The parties have carefully reviewed the provisions of this Agreement and agree that they are fair and equitable. However, in light of the possibility of differing interpretations of law and changes in circumstances, the parties agree that if any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Moreover, if any of the provisions contained in this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, geographic application or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting or reducing it to the extent legally permitted, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then applicable law.

          9.8 Withholding Taxes. All payments hereunder shall be subject to any and all applicable federal, state, local and foreign withholding taxes.

          9.9 Legal Fees. In the event that Executive prevails in a legal proceeding (including a mediation, arbitration or other form of dispute resolution) with the Company with respect to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive’s reasonable legal fees and costs.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
