WHEREAS, HLTH has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 17, 2009, with WebMD (the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which (i) HLTH will merge with and into WebMD, with WebMD continuing as the surviving entity (the Merger) and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of common stock of HLTH, par value $0.0001 per share (HLTH Common Stock) shall be converted into the right to receive 0.4444 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of WebMD (WebMD Common Stock);
WHERAS, at the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of HLTH shall vest in WebMD, as the surviving company in the Merger, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of HLTH shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of WebMD;
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 5.01 of the Original Indenture, it is required that in connection with the Merger, WebMD execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture that provides that WebMD assumes all the obligations of HLTH under the Securities and the Indenture and, in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Original Indenture, WebMD (as successor by merger to HLTH) and the Trustee may enter into such supplemental indenture without the consent of any Securityholder; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 10.13 of the Original Indenture, it is required that in connection with the Merger, WebMD execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture that provides that, from and after the Effective Time, each $1,000 principal amount of Securities shall be convertible, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Original Indenture, into the number of shares of WebMD Common Stock that a holder of a number of shares of HLTH Common Stock equal to the conversion rate immediately prior to the Merger would have been entitled to receive in the Merger and, in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Original Indenture, WebMD and the Trustee may enter into such supplemental indenture without the consent of any Securityholder.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, WebMD and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Securityholders as follows:
SECTION 1. Substitution of WebMD, as Successor by Merger, for HLTH. Pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 of the Original Indenture, (a) WebMD shall become, as of the Effective Time, the successor to, and be substituted for, HLTH for all purposes of the Indenture and the Securities; and (b) WebMD hereby assumes, as of the Effective Time, every duty and obligation of HLTH under the Original Indenture and the Securities with the same effect as if WebMD had been named as the Company in the Original Indenture. From and after the Effective Time, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of HLTH against WebMD, and WebMD shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers of HLTH, as if it were the issuer of the Securities under the Indenture, consistent with the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture.
SECTION 2. Conversion of Securities. In accordance with Section 10.13 of the Original Indenture and subject to the provisions of Sections 10.03 and 10.04 thereof, from and after the Effective Time, each $1,000 principal amount of Securities shall be convertible, during any period in which such Securities shall be convertible as specified in the Original Indenture, into the number of shares of WebMD Common Stock that a holder of a number of shares of HLTH Common Stock equal to the conversion rate immediately prior to the Merger would have been entitled to receive in the Merger (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be equal to 28.5503 shares of WebMD Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities and shall result in a Conversion Price of approximately $35.03).
