RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

     THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT is made effective as of November 3, 2009 (the “Grant Date”), by and between WebMD Health Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Anthony Vuolo (the “Holder”):

     WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors or its designee has determined that it would be to the advantage and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to enter into this Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, (the “Plan”; all capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan) to assign certain shares of Common Stock of the Company subject to certain restrictions thereon (hereinafter referred to as the “Restricted Stock”) to the Holder in consideration of services to be rendered and as an incentive for the Holder’s best performance of future services to Company and its Subsidiaries, subject to the restrictions set forth herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.
AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK

     Section 1.1 Award of Restricted Stock.

          In consideration of Holder’s services and for other good and valuable consideration which the Committee has determined, the Company hereby awards and assigns to the Holder, on the Grant Date, 44,000 shares of Restricted Stock. The Restricted Stock is awarded under and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

     Section 1.2 Not a Contract of Employment.

          Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Holder any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way any otherwise existing rights of the Company and any Affiliate, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Holder at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.

     Section 1.3 Covenants.

          This grant of Restricted Stock is additional consideration for the covenants set forth in Section 6 of the Employment Agreement dated as of July 14, 2005, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”). In the event that the Holder breaches any such restrictive covenants, in addition to any other remedy available to the Company, any shares of Restricted Stock will be immediately forfeited without any notice or consideration being paid therefor and the Company shall be entitled to recoup income realized upon the prior vesting of shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder.

ARTICLE II.
RESTRICTIONS

     Section 2.1 Definition.

          “Restrictions” shall mean the restrictions on sale or other transfer set forth in Section 3.1, the exposure to forfeiture set forth in Section 2.2 and the vesting set forth in Section 2.3.

     Section 2.2 Forfeiture.

          Any share of Restricted Stock that is not vested pursuant to Section 2.3 upon the termination of employment of the Holder, for any reason other than as a result of death or Disability or as set forth in Section 2.3(b), shall thereupon be forfeited to the Company without payment. In the event of the termination of the Holder’s employment as a result of the death or Disability of the Holder, all Restrictions shall lapse as of the date of termination.

     Section 2.3 Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions.

          (a) Subject to Sections 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6, each share of Restricted Stock shall not be transferable until such share becomes vested. Twenty five percent (25%) of the shares of Restricted Stock shall vest, and the Restriction on such shares shall lapse, annually on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Grant Date; provided, however, that if a vesting date shall fall on a date which is during a black-out period with respect to the Common Stock to which Holder is subject, such vesting date shall be delayed until the first day after the expiration of such black-out period.

          (b) In the event of the termination of Holder’s employment by the Company without Cause or by the Holder for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement, provided that a reduction in title or responsibilities shall not be an event of Good Reason for this purpose) in each case following a Change of Control, any remaining unvested shares of Restricted Stock, will be deemed fully vested, and the Restrictions thereon shall lapse, as of the date of such termination, so long as the Holder executes and does not revoke the acknowledgment described in Section 5.4 of the Employment Agreement. In addition, the Holder may voluntarily resign at any time after 12 months following a Change of Control and any remaining unvested shares of Restricted Stock will vest, and the Restrictions thereon shall lapse, on the date of such resignation so long as the Holder executes and does not revoke the acknowledgment described in Section 5.4 of the Employment Agreement.

     Section 2.4 Legend.

          Certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock assigned pursuant to this Agreement shall, until all Restrictions lapse or shall have been removed and new certificates are assigned pursuant to Section 2.5, be held by the Company and bear the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN VESTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE TERMS OF THAT CERTAIN RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN WEBMD HEALTH CORP. (THE “COMPANY”) AND THE REGISTERED OWNER OF SUCH SHARES, AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OFFERED, TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT.”

     Section 2.5 Assignment of Certificates for Vested Shares.

          Upon the vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock as provided in Section 2.3 and subject to Section 3.3, the Company shall cause new certificates to be assigned with respect to such vested shares and delivered to the Holder or Holder’s legal representative, free from any Restrictions and free from the legend provided for in Section 2.4; provided, that such shares shall remain subject to applicable securities laws and the Company’s employee trading policy. Such vested shares shall cease to be considered Restricted Stock subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be shares of Common Stock of the Company free of all Restrictions (other than any applicable securities law restrictions or any restrictions imposed by the Company’s employee trading policy).

     Section 2.6 Restrictions On New Shares.

          In the event that the Holder receives any new or additional or different shares or securities by reason of any transaction or event described in Section 15.1 of the Plan, such new or additional or different shares or securities which are attributable to the Holder in Holder’s capacity as the registered owner of the Restricted Stock then subject to Restrictions, shall be considered to be Restricted Stock and shall be subject to all of the Restrictions, unless the Committee provides, for the removal or lapse of the Restrictions on the shares of Restricted Stock underlying the distribution of the new or additional shares or securities.

ARTICLE III.
MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 3.1 Restricted Stock Not Transferable.

          No Restricted Stock or any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Holder or Holder’s successors in interest or shall

be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect.

          (c) The lapse of such reasonable period of time as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

          In addition, the Company may, at its sole election, cancel the Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock in the event the Holder fails to satisfy the applicable tax withholdings within 45 days of the applicable vesting date.

     Section 3.6 Withholding Tax.

          The Holder agrees that, in the event of the issuance of the Restricted Stock or the expiration of Restrictions thereon results in the Holder’s realization of income which for federal, state or local income tax purposes is, in the opinion for the Company, subject to withholding of tax at source by the Company, the Holder will pay to the Company an amount equal to such withholding tax prior to the Company’s delivery of the Certificate or the Company shall withhold that number of Shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum tax withholding obligation.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be administered, and the Restricted Stock shall be assigned, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations

including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement and the Restricted Stock assigned hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

          The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

     Section 3.11 Section 83(b) Election.

          If, within 30 days of the Grant Date, a Holder makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, or any successor section thereto, to be taxed with respect to all or any portion of the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Holder would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the Holder shall deliver a copy of such election to the Company immediately after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

     Section 3.12 Set-off
