Amendment to Letter Agreement and Equity Grant Terms between WebMD Health Corp. and Greg Mason
This letter amends a previous agreement between WebMD Health Corp. and Greg Mason, outlining the grant of stock options and restricted stock to Mason. He is granted options to purchase 75,000 shares and 12,000 shares of restricted stock, both vesting over four years, contingent on continued employment. The agreement also clarifies that certain termination provisions from the earlier agreement apply to these new grants. All other terms of the original agreement remain unchanged.
