SUPPLEMENTAL BONUS PROGRAM
TRUST AGREEMENT
(As Amended And Restated Effective as of March 15, 2008)

This Supplemental Bonus Program Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) was originally made and entered into the 15^th day of March, 2007 by and between WEBMD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) (then known as WEBMD, INC., a Georgia corporation), and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (the “Trustee”), to evidence a trust (the “Trust”) established to hold funds to provide supplemental bonuses to certain designated employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. All assets were distributed from the Trust in accordance with the terms of the original Trust Agreement on March 14, 2008. This amendment and restatement of the Trust Agreement is effective as of March 15, 2008.

RECITALS

A. As a result of the Company’s operating results for calendar year 2007, the Company has adopted a supplemental bonus program for 2007 for the employees listed on the 2007 Participant List that gives those Participants the right to receive the amounts shown opposite their respective names (the “2007 Supplemental Bonuses”). This supplemental bonus program gives those Participants who remain employed through March 1, 2009 the right to receive all of the assets of the Trust as of March 1, 2009 (except for expenses as described herein), which 2007 Supplemental Bonuses will be paid on or about March 1, 2009. The terms of such bonus program are reflected in this Trust Agreement.

B. The Company has decided to fund the 2007 Supplemental Bonuses with assets to be held and administered under this Trust Agreement.

AGREEMENT

The Company hereby adopts this amended and restated Trust Agreement, and the Trustee hereby agrees to serve as trustee and to receive and hold any and all cash and property that may be delivered to it as trustee hereunder from time to time in trust for the uses and purposes and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated:

ARTICLE I

ESTABLISHMENT, TERM, FUNDING AND
ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST

Section 1.01 Establishment and Term of the Trust

(a) The Trust hereby established is irrevocable and shall continue until the first to occur of:

(i) The Bonuses of each and every Participant have been either paid or forfeited and all other liabilities of the Trust have been satisfied or provided for; or

(ii) All then living Participants and the Beneficiaries of any deceased Participants who have neither forfeited nor received the full amount of their Bonuses and shall consent; or

(iii) December 31, 2010.

(b) (i) The Company may extend the supplemental bonus program for an additional year by delivering to the Trustee a new Participant List setting forth the names of employees eligible for bonuses for such additional year (who shall then become Participants for such year) and the amounts of their potential bonuses (which shall be such new Participants’ Bonuses hereunder for such additional year). Such new Participant List shall be automatically effective upon receipt by the Trustee, provided that the Trustee receives such new Participant List no later than the April 1 immediately following the previous calendar year. The Company may further extend the term of this Trust for up to three additional calendar years in accordance with this Section 1.01(b) (for an aggregate of up to four annual extensions) unless this Section 1.01(b) is amended to allow for additional extensions.

(ii) For each year that the Company extends the supplemental bonus program pursuant to this Section 1.01(b), the date in Section 1.01(a)(iii) shall be extended by one year.

(iii) For each year that the Company extends the term of the supplemental bonus program and the Trust pursuant to this Section 1.01(b), (A) the new Participant List and Bonuses for such year shall be assigned the appropriate year and new accounts will be established, (B) any reference in this Trust Agreement to the 2007 Participant List shall, for such extended year, refer to the corresponding Participant List and Bonuses for such year, and (C) the Participants’ individual bonus amounts, applicability of the forfeiture provisions and Participant Bonus Determination Date will be defined in the corresponding Participant List for each such year.

(c) The principal of the Trust and any earnings thereon (collectively, the “Trust Fund”) shall not be paid to the Company, shall be held separate and apart from funds of the Company, and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes herein set forth.

Section 1.02 Funding, Accounts and List of Participants

(a) On or prior to March 31, 2008, the Company will pay to the Trustee a deposit in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Bonuses listed on the 2007 Participant List in cash.

(b) The Trustee shall establish an account for each Participant who is listed on the 2007 Participant List (an “Account”), and shall credit to each such Account the contributions made by the Company in the amount listed for such Participant in the 2007 Participant List. If the term of the Trust is extended pursuant to Section 1.01(b), the Trustee shall establish separate Accounts for the Participants who are listed in the Participant List corresponding to such additional year. The Trustee shall allocate investment income to a separate account (the “Income Account”) and shall allocate forfeitures to another separate account (the “Forfeiture Account”). The Trustee shall pay taxes and expenses of the Trust first from the Forfeiture

Account and then from the Income Account prior to charging the Participants’ Accounts with any expenses. Any remaining balance in the Income and Forfeiture Accounts, whether positive or negative, shall be allocated to each 2007 Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 3.02 of this Trust Agreement. The Accounts, the Income Account and the Forfeiture Account may be established by book entries, and the Trust Fund need not be segregated to reflect such separate recordkeeping accounts. The Trustee shall charge each Participant’s Account for its ratable share of administrative and related expenses (to the extent the Forfeiture Account and Income Account are insufficient), as well as Bonus payments to the Participant for whom such Account was established.

(c) The Administrative Committee shall notify the Trustee in the event that any Participant has a Termination of Employment prior to the Participant Bonus Determination Date, as well as identify whether the Termination of Employment qualifies for acceleration of the payment of the Participant’s Bonus as provided in Section 3.02(b). The Administrative Committee shall furnish the Trustee with an updated 2007 Participant List from which the name of the Participant has been removed. Unless the Termination of Employment results in an acceleration of the payment of the Participant’s Bonus as provided in Section 3.02(b), the Participant shall automatically cease to be a beneficiary and Participant in the supplemental bonus program, and the balance of his or her Account shall be transferred to the Forfeiture Account.

Section 1.03 Committees

(a) The Company has delegated to a committee comprised of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (herein referred to as the “Governing Committee”) the authority to approve the Participants and their respective Bonus amounts as listed on the 2007 Participant List; provided, however, that, with respect to any individual who is an Executive Officer, the Company has delegated to the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of WebMD Health Corp. (the “Compensation Committee”) the authority to approve Participants and their respective Bonus amounts. Any reference in this Trust Agreement to “Governing Committee” shall be deemed to be a reference to the Compensation Committee where the authority, action or determination relates to an individual or Participant who is an Executive Officer, including without limitation the authority to determine Participants and the amounts of Bonuses. The Governing Committee has approved the 2007 Participant List. The Company has also delegated to the Governing Committee its powers and duties under Section 1.01(b) with respect to the extension of the term of the Trust and designation of Participants for any such additional years and determination of the Participants’ Bonuses for any such additional years, as well as the administration of the supplemental bonus program. All decisions and determinations made by the Governing Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties.

(b) The Governing Committee may delegate to a committee (herein referred to as the "Administrative Committee”) its powers and duties to administer the supplemental bonus program and this Trust Agreement. All decisions and determinations made by the Administrative Committee with respect to the administration of the supplemental bonus program and this Trust Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties. If no Administrative Committee is established, all references herein to the Administrative Committee shall be deemed references to the Governing Committee.

ARTICLE II

The Company may require such medical or other evidence as it deems necessary to judge the nature and permanency or the Participant’s condition.

“Division” means one or more of the lines of business of the Company or a Subsidiary.

“Employer” means the Company or the Subsidiary by which a Participant is employed.

“Executive Officer” means any individual who is subject to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

“HLTH Company” means HLTH Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (“HLTH”) and any wholly-owned subsidiary of HTLH other than the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries.

“Participant” means an employee listed on an applicable Participant List.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Participant’s change of status to Part-Time Employment, may, in the discretion of the Governing Committee, be deemed a Termination of Employment for the purposes herein; and in the event of such a determination, such Participant’s Bonus will be forfeited and reallocated to the Forfeiture Account.

ARTICLE III

PAYMENTS FROM THE TRUST

Section 3.01 No Entitlement.

The establishment of the Trust and the payment or delivery to the Trustee of money or other property shall not vest in the Company or any Participant or Beneficiary any right, title of interest in and to any assets of the Trust. Rather, such money or property are assets of the Trust and are subject to this Trust Agreement.

Section 3.02 Determination of Participant Bonuses

(a) Each Participant’s right to the Bonus provided in the 2007 Participant List shall become payable if the Participant is employed with the Company, a Subsidiary, or a HLTH Company on the Participant Bonus Determination Date. Immediately prior to and effective on the Participant Bonus Determination Date, the Trustee shall reallocate the amounts then credited to the Forfeiture Account (the “First Allocable Amount”) to the Accounts of those Participants who are remaining in the program on such date and who are not Executive Officers. The amount of the First Allocable Amount reallocated to each such Participant’s Account shall be that portion of the First Allocable Amount that bears the same relation to the total First Allocable Amount as the applicable Participant’s Account balance bears to the aggregate amount of all the Account balances of those Participants who are not Executive Officers. Immediately following the reallocation of the First Allocable Amount and effective on the Participant Bonus

Determination Date, the Trustee shall reallocate the amounts then credited to the Income Account (the “Second Allocable Amount”) to the Accounts of all of the Participants who are remaining in the program on such date. The amount of the Second Allocable Amount reallocated to the Account of each Participant shall be that part of the Second Allocable Amount that bears the same relation to the total Second Allocable Amount as such Participant’s Account balance bears to the aggregate amount of all of the Account balances of Participants (after giving effect to the reallocation of the Forfeiture Account as provided above). The Participants’ Bonuses shall automatically be increased by such reallocated amounts.

(b) Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment prior to the Participant Bonus Determination Date, he or she shall forfeit all rights to any portion of his or her Bonus; provided however that if a Participant (i) dies or (ii) the Administrative Committee determines that a Participant’s Termination of Employment is (A) a result of a Disability, (B) in connection with the termination of a group of employees as part of a restructuring, reorganization or a reduction in force or (C) a result of the sale of the Subsidiary or Division by which he or she is employed, then such Participant shall be entitled to his or her Bonus, which shall be paid within 2-1/2 months following the date of his or her Termination of Employment. The amount of the Bonus as provided in the preceding proviso shall be the amount set forth on the 2007 Participant List, and will not be adjusted to reflect any reallocation of amounts credited to the Income Expense Account or the Forfeiture Account.

Section 3.03 Payments by Trustee

(a) The Company agrees to provide the Trustee with the names and last known mailing address of all Participants who become entitled to receipt of Bonus payments hereunder. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon such information provided to it by the Company in making distribution of benefits, unless the Trustee is notified that such information is incorrect or outdated.

(b) On or as soon as practicable after, but no later than 2-1/2 months after, the Participant Bonus Determination Date or, in the case of a Bonus that is payable pursuant to Section 3.02(b), within 2-1/2 months after the Participant’s Termination of Employment, the Trustee shall make payment from the Trust Fund of each Participant’s Bonus that has become due. The Trustee shall notify the Company of the amount and date of each such payment.

(c) The rights of the Participants to receive the Bonuses that become due and payable hereunder shall not be affected or diminished in any way by the existence of any dispute between a Participant and the Company. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on information provided by and determinations made by the Administrative Committee in making distributions from the Trust. Such distributions shall be made notwithstanding any notice or demand by the Company that the distributions should not be made, whether based on the Company’s claim that any Participant is not entitled to some or all of the amount of such distributions or otherwise, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company for making any payment. No surety or other bond shall be required as to any distribution or payment to any Participant.

(d) The Trustee shall deduct from each payment under this Trust Agreement any federal, state, or local withholding or other taxes or charges which the Trustee may be

required to deduct under applicable laws, and the Trustee shall remit such withheld taxes to the Company. In this regard, upon request by the Trustee, the Company shall calculate and provide to the Trustee an itemization of federal, state and/or local taxes required to be withheld from each Bonus payment to a Participant. Also, if requested by the Trustee, the Company shall be responsible for remitting such withheld taxes to the taxing authorities and for preparing and delivering to the appropriate persons, including Participants and governmental agencies, all tax returns, forms and reports as may be required by applicable laws in connection with any such withholding.

(e) In the event that all of the Participants have had a Termination of Employment with the Company or Subsidiary prior to the Participant Bonus Determination Date and any assets remain in the Trust Fund, the Company shall immediately provide to the Trustee (i) the names and last known addresses of the Participants who (A) were not Executive Officers when their employment terminated and (B) were employed by the Company or a Subsidiary at any time during the 90-day period preceding the last day prior to the Participant Bonus Determination Date on which any Participants were employed by the Company or a Subsidiary (the “Final Participants”) and (ii) the amounts of such Final Participants’ Bonuses that were payable or forfeited, as the case may be, at the time of their Termination of Employment. The Trustee shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such information, pay the full amount of the remaining Trust Fund to the Final Participants. The amount paid to each Final Participant shall be that portion of the remaining Trust Fund that bears the same relation to the total remaining Trust Fund as the Final Participant’s Bonus that became payable or was forfeited bears to the aggregate of such Bonus of all the Final Participants. For avoidance of doubt, if there is only one Final Participant, all of the remaining Trust Fund shall be paid to such Final Participant. In the event that all of the Participants who are not Executive Officers have a Termination of Employment prior to the Participant Bonus Determination Date but one or more Participants who are Executive Officers remain employed on the Participant Bonus Determination Date, then the provisions of this Section 3.03 shall be applied with respect to the remaining assets in the Forfeiture and Income Accounts immediately after the determination of and payment of Bonuses to the Participants who are Executive Officers.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may deliver the full amount of each payment due under this Trust Agreement to the Company for payment to the applicable Participant or Beneficiary (net of applicable withholding taxes), in which case the Company shall pay the amounts due to each Participant or Beneficiary on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with this Trust Agreement. In addition, the Company shall have the right to require the Trustee to deliver such amounts to the Company for payment in accordance with this Section 3.03(f).

Section 3.04 No Rights to Bonuses or Continued Employment

No employee of the Company or a Subsidiary has any right to participate in any supplemental bonus program unless such employee has been designated as a Participant on a Participant List in accordance with Section 1.01(b)(i). Neither an employee’s participation in any supplemental bonus program nor anything in this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to create or confer on a Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company, a Subsidiary, or a HLTH Company, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company, a Subsidiary, or a HLTH Company to terminate such employment at any time. In

addition, participation in a given year does not entitle a Participant to participation in any future year.

Section 3.05 Assignments

No part of the Trust Fund shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of any Participant (or Beneficiary) or the Company, or be taken in execution by levy, attachment or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any benefits, payments, claims or interests that such person may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, hereunder in any manner whatsoever.

Section 3.06 Section 409A

If any provision of this Trust Agreement contravenes any regulations or guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) or could cause a Bonus to be subject to the interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, such provision of this Trust Agreement shall be modified to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Moreover, any discretionary authority that the Company or the Executive Committee or the Administrative Committee may have pursuant to this Trust Agreement shall not be applicable to a Bonus that is subject to Section 409A of the Code to the extent such discretionary authority will contravene Section 409A of the Code or the guidance promulgated thereunder.

ARTICLE IV

(vi) To exercise all of the further rights, powers, options and privileges granted, provided for, or vested in trustees generally under the laws of the State of New York, so that the powers conferred upon the Trustee herein shall not be in limitation of any authority conferred by law, but shall be in addition thereto;

(vii) To institute, compromise and defend actions and proceedings; to pay or contest any claim; to settle a claim by or against the Trustee by compromise, arbitration, or otherwise; to release, in whole or in part, any claim belonging to the Trust to the extent that the claim is uncollectible;

(d) Within 30 days after the close of business on the last business day of each calendar month (and within 30 days after the removal or resignation of the Trustee, as provided in Article V hereof), and at any other time as directed by the Company in writing, the Trustee shall render to the Company a written account showing a reasonable summary of the investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions engaged in by the Trust during the preceding period, and setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Trust, the value of the net assets of the Trust and the value of the Income Account and the Forfeiture Account.

Section 4.03 Expenses and Taxes

(a) Such compensation to the Trustee as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time between the Company and the Trustee shall be paid by the Company, but if not so paid, shall constitute a charge upon the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if the Trustee is an employee of the Company, a Subsidiary or a HLTH Company, the Trustee shall not be entitled to compensation for serving as Trustee.

(b) Proper expenses of the Trust, including the following, shall be paid by the Company, but if not so paid, shall constitute a charge upon the Trust Fund:

(iii) expenses relating to investment of the Trust Fund such as brokers’ commissions and similar items; and

In any judicial, arbitration or administrative proceeding, only the Company, the Trustee, and the Participant Party (as defined below) shall be necessary parties, and no other

person shall be entitled to any notice or service of process (except as required by law). “Participant Party” means the interested Participant if the dispute involves payment from the Trust of any Bonus asserted to be earned by and payable to the Participant, and otherwise means a majority of Participants. Any judgment, decision or award entered in any such proceeding or action shall be conclusive upon all interested persons.

ARTICLE V

Section 6.02 Power to Amend

The Company and the Trustee shall have the right at any time and from time to time to enter into agreements modifying or amending this Trust Agreement in whole or in part; provided, however, that this Trust Agreement may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency so long as and to the extent that no such amendment or supplement shall adversely affect the rights of Participants. Without the consent of the interested Participant, no amendment shall materially impair any rights hereunder in respect of the payment from the Trust Fund of any portion of a Bonus. Notwithstanding that an amendment may be permissible under this Section 6.02, this Trust Agreement shall not be amended by an amendment that would cause any of the assets of the Trust to be used for or diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries (and plan expenses).

To the extent any person is granted the power or has the authority under this Trust Agreement to approve or compel any act on the part of the Trustee, or to provide information to the Trustee, or to render advice to the Trustee, or to otherwise approve or compel any action or exercise of any power that affects or will affect any Trust asset held hereunder, the Trustee is directed, to the extent the Trustee would not be subject to personal

liability or personal exposure (for example, by being held in contempt of court or other sanction by a court having jurisdiction over that Trustee): (i) to accept or recognize acts, approval, instructions, information vetoes, or advice, the effects of any approval, veto or compelled action or the exercise of any power, only if given by or resulting from persons acting of their own free will and not under compulsion of any legal process or like authority; and (ii) to ignore any act or approval, instruction, information veto, advice, directive, order, or the like, or the results or effects thereof, of past or present Trustees or any other person where (A) such has been instigated by directive, order, or like decree of any court, administrative body or other tribunal, or where (B) the person attempting to compel the act, or attempting to exercise the authority to render advice, or otherwise attempting to compel any action or exercise any power which affects or will affect this Trust Agreement, is not a person either appointed or so authorized or the like pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Trust Agreement.

(b) The Trustee is not obligated to defend actions in which the Trustee is named, but shall notify the Company of any such action and may tender defense of the action to the Company, Participants or Beneficiary whose interest is affected. The Trustee may in its discretion defend any action in which the Trustee is named, and any expenses incurred by the Trustee shall be paid by the Company. The Trustee is authorized to pay such amounts from the Trust Fund if the Company fails to pay them within 30 days of presentation of a statement of the amounts due.

Section 7.04 Indemnifications of Trustee

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold the Trustee harmless from and against all loss or liability (including expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees) to which it may be subject by reason of its execution of its duties under this Trust, or by reason of any acts taken in good faith in accordance with information, or acts omitted in good faith due to absence of information from the Company, a Participant or any other person designated to act on such person’s behalf, unless such loss or liability is (i) due to the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) due to the Trustee’s negligence in matters involving the transfer of funds or the safekeeping of assets.

(b) In the event that the Trustee is named as a defendant in a lawsuit or proceeding involving the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Company on a current basis the indemnity payments provided for in this Section; provided, however, that if the final judgment entered in the lawsuit or proceeding holds that the Trustee is guilty of conduct that is not subject to indemnification under Section 7.04(a), with respect to the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall be required to refund the indemnity payments that it has received. Any amount payable to the Trustee under this Section 7.04 that is not paid by the Company within 30 days of written demand may be paid from the Trust.
