excluding any FESCO Content or Customer Content), such content is and shall be obtained from

2) any written threats or claims made by a third party or governmental agency which alleges any
liability or wrongdoing on the part of FESCO or any of its Customers.
K. No later than thirty (30) days from the Effective Date of this Agreement (or such other date
agreed to in writing by the Parties), WebMD shall deposit into escrow with DSI Technology Escrow
Services, Inc. (“DSI”), in accordance with the Escrow Agreement between FMR Corp. and DSI dated
March 6, 2002 (the “Escrow Agreement”), all Source Code (as defined below) for the software related
to the Tools and the Customized Pages (the “Software”). “Source Code” shall mean the version of
the Software written in a human readable programming language, such as COBOL, Java or C++, capable
of being translated into object code for operation on computer equipment through assembly or
compiling. The Source Code shall include the technical, systems, and user manuals and
documentation for the Software including, but not limited to, all job control language statements,
descriptions of data structures, and all flow charts, technical specifications, schematics,
statements or principles of operations, architecture standards and annotations describing the
operation of the Software, all in sufficient detail to enable a competent programmer to modify such
Source Code without undue effort. WebMD shall update the Source Code in escrow every quarter if
changes have been made during such quarter. Prior to the initial deposit and each subsequent
update, WebMD shall provide FESCO with the opportunity to verify or have verified the accuracy and
completeness of the Source Code deposited. The Source Code shall be released to FESCO upon the
occurrence of any of the following events (the “Release Events”):
1) WebMD (or any permitted successor to this Agreement) fails to continue to do business in
the ordinary course, admits a general inability to pay its debts as they become due, becomes
insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy, or suffers or permits the appointment of a receiver for its business, where its assets
become subject to any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law; or
2) WebMD (or any permitted successor to this Agreement) ceases the provision of or support for
the Tools either following WebMD’s stated intent to cease providing the Tools or as reflected by
affirmative actions taken by WebMD that result in the Tools ceasing to be available to the FESCO
Customers for a period of two weeks or more, and such action by WebMD is not otherwise permitted by
the terms of the Agreement. In addition, for purposes of this subsection, “Tools” shall be deemed
to mean i) all Tools or ii) all or substantially all of the Personal Health Manager or the Personal
Health Decisions Tool.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Escrow Agreement, the Source Code shall
not be released to FESCO for any reason other than the foregoing Release Events. In addition, the
provisions of this Section 2K shall supercede Section 4.5 of the Escrow Agreement. The words
“except as otherwise provided by the terms of the Services Agreement, between WebMD, Inc. and
Fidelity Employer Services Company LLC” are added to the last sentence of the first paragraph of
the Acceptance Form to the Escrow Agreement.
Upon release of the Source Code pursuant to Section 2(K)(1) or (2) above, FESCO shall have (and
WebMD hereby grants, subject to such occurrence) a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free,
paid-up license to use, copy and modify the Source Code in any manner necessary or appropriate to
support and maintain FESCO’s, its Customers’ and their End Users’ use of and access to the Tools
and Customized Pages in the same manner in which FESCO, its Customers and End Users were being
serviced at the time of the Source Code escrow release, provided that such modifications may not:
i) introduce new functionality; ii) create additional applications or derivative works; iii) be
used beyond the scope of the license granted in Section 2 of this Agreement, or iv) be used to
service Customers who are not FESCO Customers at the time of the source code release described
herein. The license granted pursuant to this Section shall remain in effect until the earliest to
occur of the following: a) FESCO permanently stops using the affected Software, or b) twelve
months from the date of the Source Code release. Upon termination of the Source Code licenses
granted in this Section, FESCO shall return all copies of Source Code to WebMD. All modifications
made by FESCO pursuant to this Section shall be owned by WebMD.
Upon release of Source Code from escrow FESCO a) shall at all times treat the Source Code as WebMD
Confidential Information and will safeguard the Source Code in the same manner as it safeguards the
source code for its own proprietary applications and b) shall have no right to market, sell,
license or transfer the Source Code or provide access to the Source Code to third parties who are
not FESCO Developers (as defined below).
Persons permitted to access the Source Code (the “FESCO Developers”) must each (a) be FESCO
employees or contractors and (b) have previously signed nondisclosure agreements or similar
agreements with FESCO which agreements impose contractual obligations upon such persons that are
consistent with the terms and conditions of Section 9 of this Agreement. FESCO shall limit access
to and use of the Source Code to FESCO Developers who have a reasonable need for such access for
the purposes contemplated hereunder.
L. In the event of any Continuing Severity One Problem (as defined in this Section 2(L)), FESCO
shall be entitled to send such number of personnel of FESCO and its Affiliates as FESCO reasonably
determines is necessary to WebMD’s and/or any other relevant third party’s site to access WebMD’s
Source Code at such site, in the presence of WebMD personnel, to assist WebMD in resolving such
Continuing Severity One Problem, provided that 1) such personnel must be operations/technical
personnel and not sales/marketing personnel, 2) FESCO shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
limit its access only to that portion of the WebMD Source Code that is applicable to the relevant
Continuing Severity One Problem, 3) such personnel shall each have executed a confidentiality
agreement which is consistent with the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement, 4) such
personnel shall not be permitted to copy or remove any Source Code from the site without the
permission of WebMD and 5) such access shall terminate upon resolution of the relevant Continuing
Severity One Problem. For purposes of this Section 2L, “Continuing Severity One Problem” shall mean
any of the following which is not caused by FESCO and remains unresolved for 48 hours: (i) issues
that result in the outage of the entire service provided by WebMD hereunder to the End Users, (ii)
any situation that prevents a substantial number of new End Users from accessing or using the
applicable Customized Pages or the Tools, or a substantial number of existing End Users from
receiving material End User Data, (iii) issues or software defects that result in a continuing
significant security exposure (i.e., disclosure to unauthorized third parties of personally
identifiable health information of End Users or other personally identifiable End User Data), (iv)
a continuing significant End User Data quality issue (missing, incomplete or incorrect End User
Data with significant impact on End User experience or on the integrity of End User Data), and (v)
an outage, significant slowdown, etc. (caused by failures related to the Tools or otherwise within
WebMD’s reasonable control) which materially impacts or disables major functions of the Tools from
being performed and for which no workaround is available.
M. Upon effectiveness of this Agreement and on an ongoing basis thereafter, FESCO shall provide
WebMD with a list identifying each company or employee group within a company that has outsourced
its health and welfare benefits administration to FESCO (or has signed a letter of intent to
outsource its health and welfare benefits administration to FESCO) (“FESCO Client”). This list
will be treated as FESCO Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of Section 9 of this
Agreement. WebMD agrees that following notification by FESCO to WebMD that a company or employee
group is a FESCO Client (other than FESCO Clients that are pre-existing WebMD customers), WebMD and
FESCO will engage in coordinated marketing activities as to such FESCO Client (which shall include,
for all purposes of this Agreement, WebMD providing the appropriate sales force to reasonably
support such activities and both parties meeting on a regular basis to discuss sales strategies),
describing the Site as the preferred delivery mechanism for the Tools for such FESCO Client until
the earlier to occur of 1) the end of the eighteen month period from the time of FESCO’s
notification to WebMD that such company or employee group is a FESCO Client and such FESCO Client
has not purchased the Basic Tools or 2) FESCO’s receipt of a written notice from the FESCO Client
that it does not wish to obtain access to the Tools from FESCO via the Site, at which time WebMD
may enter into a direct agreement with the FESCO Client with respect to the Tools and such client
shall not be considered a Customer under this Agreement. In addition, once a FESCO Client has
accepted the Basic Tools via the Site, WebMD shall engage only in coordinated marketing activities
with FESCO with respect to
sales of Buy-up Tools to such FESCO Client and shall not contract directly with such FESCo Client
with respect to the Buy-up Tools until such time as the FESCO Client notifies FESCO in writing that
it does not wish to obtain the Buy-up Tools from FESCO via the Site, at which time WebMD shall be
free to contract directly with the FESCO Client for the Buy-up Tools and FESCO shall, for as long
as the FESCO Client receives the Buy-up Tools or any subset thereof directly from WebMD, deduct
from FESCO’s buy-up guarantees set forth in Schedule A either 1) with respect to FESCO Clients
receiving the full set of Buy-up Tools directly from WebMD, the number of employees of such FESCO
Client eligible to receive such Tools directly from WebMD, or 2) in a case involving a subset of
the Buy-up Tools, such amount as is determined in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) of the last
sentence of Section 2N. FESCO agrees to promptly notify WebMD of any written notification it
receives from a FESCO Client stating that such FESCO Client does not wish to obtain the Tools via
the Site.
In addition, in the event that (i) a current FESCO Client has a direct agreement with WebMD as of
the date of this Agreement, or (ii) a company or employee group within a company is not a FESCO
Client at the time it initially enters into an agreement with WebMD to receive the Tools or subset
thereof, but subsequently becomes a FESCO Client, and such FESCO Client indicates a preference to
receive the Tools or subset thereof from FESCO via the Site, then:
1) FESCO will be free to offer the Tools to such FESCO Client via the Site during the term of
the FESCO Client’s direct contract with WebMD, provided that, except with respect to integration
fees owed by FESCO to WebMD with respect to a FESCO Client that has accepted receiving the Basic
Tools via the Site, such FESCO Client shall not be considered a Customer under this Agreement.
2) within a reasonable time prior to expiration or potential renewal of the FESCO Client’s
direct contract with WebMD, or otherwise at the time of termination of the FESCO Client’s direct
contract with WebMD, WebMD will inform the FESCO Client that FESCO is the preferred provider of the
Tools via the Site, and the parties shall jointly pursue transitioning the FESCO Client to a direct
contractual relationship with FESCO pursuant to which FESCO would provide the Tools to such FESCO
Client in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In connection with any and all discussions
with such FESCO Client, if WebMD is offering pricing or other financial terms directly to such
FESCO Client which are more favorable than the pricing or other financial terms offered to FESCO
under this Agreement, then FESCO shall be entitled to (i) offer the more favorable terms to the
FESCO Client, and (ii) pay WebMD, with respect to such FESCO Client, in accordance with the more
favorable terms. If, despite the parties efforts to transition the FESCO Client to a direct
contractual relationship with FESCO, the FESCO Client states a preference for renewing or extending
its direct contractual relationship with WebMD, WebMD shall be entitled to enter into such a
renewal or extension, provided that if such FESCO Client has accepted receiving the Basic Tools via
the Site, then FESCO shall receive credit against its Basic guarantee for the number of employees
of such FESCO Client who are eligible to receive the Basic Tools via the Site and if such FESCO
Client has entered into a direct contract with WebMD to receive the Buy-up Tools or any subset
thereof then FESCO shall receive credit against its Buy-up guarantees set forth in Schedule A
either a) with respect to a FESCO Client receiving the full set of Buy-up Tools, for the number of
employees of such FESCO Client eligible to receive such Tools, or b) in a case involving a subset
of the
Buy-up Tools, for such amount as is determined in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) of the
last sentence of Section 2N.
If a FESCO Client that has a direct agreement with WebMD enters into a renewal or extension of such
agreement with WebMD, but is not receiving the Basic Tools from FESCO
via the Site either at the time of or subsequent to such renewal or extension, then such FESCO Client shall not
be considered a Customer for purposes of this Agreement and FESCO shall not receive credit against
its guarantees for the number of employees of such FESCO Client who are eligible to receive the
Basic or Buy-up Tools from WebMD.
N. During the Term of this Agreement, FESCO will first offer to FESCO Clients and prospective
clients the Tools in connection with its marketing of interactive online personal health management
products and services via the Site, and shall not market third party products or services
substantially equivalent to the Tools to FESCO Clients or prospective clients, provided that if a
Customer requests that FESCO implement alternative interactive online personal health management
products or services via the Site, then, FESCO may provide such alternative products or services to
such Customer.

and, during the term of this Agreement FESCO will provide an accounting of all such payments (an
“Accounting”) to WebMD on a monthly basis. FESCO shall make available to WebMD all supporting
documentation sufficient to calculate such payments (“Supporting Documentation”) within thirty (30)
business day after receiving written request by WebMD, provided that such request is received by
FESCO within ninety (90) days of WebMD receiving the Accounting for such month. If required by
WebMD after reviewing any Supporting Documentation provided pursuant to the forgoing sentence,
WebMD shall have the right to audit (during normal business hours), with at least fifteen (15)
days’ prior written notice to FESCO, and at WebMD’s expense) the books and records of FESCO in
order to verify that it has performed its obligations in accordance with this provision and made

documentation necessary to verify WebMD’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The
foregoing Section is not intended in any way to diminish or alter WebMD’s or FESCO’s termination

contract in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms
of Schedule A.

August 31, 2007 unless sooner terminated by the parties in accordance with this Section 4 of this
Agreement. If, as of August 31, 2007 and as of the last day of each of the first three (3)
subsequent one-year renewal terms thereafter (if applicable), this Agreement has not already
terminated, FESCO may renew this Agreement for a successive one-year term (not to exceed four
successive one-year renewal terms, in the aggregate) by providing written notice of such election
to WebMD within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the current term and subject to the following
additional conditions:
| 1) | all applicable fees for each renewal term will be determined by mutual agreement of the Parties at the time of renewal, subject to the * provisions of Section 3B | ||

| 6) | Each FESCO right of renewal for each additional one-year renewal term shall be contingent upon FESCO providing the buy-up products and services to at least the number of employees specified in the buy-up guarantee for the then current term on the last day of the then current term, and if FESCO has not achieved the applicable guarantee as of such date, then such renewal shall not occur (e.g., if FESCO is not providing the Buy-Up Tools to at least * employees by August 31, 2007, the renewal term beginning 9/1/07 shall not occur). If the conditions for a renewal term are not met, there will be no further renewal terms. . |
Upon any such renewal, unless otherwise provided herein, all of the terms provided in this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms set forth in Schedule A, shall remain in full
force and effect for such successive term.
B. In the event of a final determination by a State or Federal governmental authority that WebMD
has engaged in a wrongful act (which wrongful act has a material adverse effect on the business and
brand of WebMD) (a “Wrongful Act”), and directly as a result of such Wrongful Act, (i) Customer
acceptance or usage of the Tools and (ii) FESCO’s ability to market the Tools as contemplated by
the Agreement, have been materially and adversely affected for a period of at least ninety (90)
days, FESCO shall notify WebMD and the parties will immediately meet to discuss the impact of the
Wrongful Act. If, after such meeting (or if the meeting does not occur within ten (10) days after
the request by FESCO, after such ten (10) day period), FESCO determines, in its reasonable
discretion, that the Wrongful Act has the material adverse effect as described in the preceding
clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4B, FESCO shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
upon thirty (30) days notice to WebMD.
X. XXXXX may terminate the provision of the Tools or Customized Pages to specific FESCO Customer(s)
at any time, upon written notice to WebMD.
D. In the event either party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such breach
within 30 days following receipt of written notice concerning the breach, the other party may
terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party.
E. In addition, WebMD will provide FESCO with at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of
any proposed material changes to the Tools and at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of
any proposed material changes to the terms of use or security measures employed by WebMD. If, in
its reasonable discretion, FESCO determines that any such changes (other than changes that are
mandated by applicable governmental regulations or requirements) may have a significant adverse
effect on FESCO, FESCO will so notify WebMD within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of
such proposed change from WebMD. If WebMD thereafter elects to implement the changes despite
receiving such notification from FESCO, FESCO may immediately, upon providing written notice to
WebMD, terminate this Agreement.
F. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, at FESCO’s election, for those Customers
receiving the Tools hereunder as of the effective date of termination as to which
| Confidential treatment has been requested. The redacted material has been separately filed with the Commission. | ||
FESCO has continuing contractual obligations to deliver the Tools, WebMD shall continue to provide
the Tools in accordance with this Agreement for a period of up to three (3) years from the
effective date of termination (the “Transition Period”) in order to facilitate an orderly

without limitation, if requested by FESCO, Indexing, during the term of this Agreement. WebMD
shall provide all Tools in accordance with the provisions of Schedule H (“Service Level

B. Error Correction; Enhancements; New Products and New Services.
In the event that FESCO, Customer(s) or End Users advise WebMD that the Tools contain material
defects or material errors, or WebMD otherwise becomes aware that the Tools contain such defects or
errors, WebMD shall promptly, and in accordance with Schedule H hereto correct such errors. At
least ninety (90) days prior to each planned introduction of New Products and New Services, but in
any event no less than two (2) times per year, a WebMD senior executive will meet with FESCO to
discuss New Products or New Services that WebMD plans to provide to its customers. FESCO, at its
option, shall be entitled to add any such New Products and New Services to those products and
services included on Schedule B hereto, at a price to be
determined by the Parties, subject to the * provisions of Section 3B hereto.
* . In addition, at least ninety (90) days prior to implementation of any
Enhancements by WebMD, WebMD will provide a high level description of the Enhancements to FESCO. At
least thirty (30) days prior to implementation of any Enhancements, or the introduction of any New
Products or New Services, by WebMD, WebMD shall provide FESCO with (i) a detailed description of
and specifications for such Enhancements or New Products or New Services, and (ii) in-person, or
via webcast, FESCO-only training sessions at which the changes associated with the Enhancements, or
the New Products or New Services, will be introduced and explained in detail to FESCO associates.
In addition, WebMD shall have the right to automatically implement Enhancements, so long as such
implementation is in accordance with the provisions described in Schedule H hereto.
Without limiting FESCO’s rights under the first sentence of Section 2N, in the event that FESCO
desires to obtain from an outside vendor a new product, service or feature which is related to the
Tools, but is not already being provided by WebMD, FESCO will first offer WebMD the opportunity to
provide FESCO with a proposal for provision of such product, service or feature. In the event
that, within sixty (60) days of FESCO’s submission of a request for a proposal from WebMD, the
parties have not reached agreement with respect to pricing, delivery time frames, or any other
material terms and conditions related to the new product, service or feature, FESCO shall be free
to obtain such product, service or feature from a third party vendor whose proposed terms and
conditions for such product, service or feature are more favorable than those proposed by WebMD’s,
as determined in FESCO’s sole discretion.
C. Staffing. Technical support services, including levels of support and applicable response
times, shall be provided as set forth in Schedule H. Each party will designate a technical contact
as the primary individual responsible for technical and content matters relating to the Tools and
the Customized Pages.
D. Security. WebMD shall at all times during the term of this Agreement abide by the
security provisions and procedures described on Schedule I (“Security Schedule”) hereto.
E. Compliance with Laws. WebMD will at all times provide tools and related services in a

and regulations applicable to the performance of its services.

Tools depends upon FESCO’s and its Customers’ provision of appropriate hardware and software.
WebMD will provide specifications for equipment and systems necessary to support the Tools. Unless
otherwise provided for in the schedules hereto, WebMD will not provide FESCO, Customer or End User
with any hardware, software, or telecommunications consulting services. Without limiting any of
the provisions of the Schedules to this Agreement, WebMD may, from time to time, recommend
reasonable changes or additions to the hardware and software. FESCO shall be responsible for
notifying Customer and End Users of such
| Confidential treatment has been requested. The redacted material has been separately filed with the Commission. | ||
recommendations. Customer and End User shall have the responsibility for securing and
maintaining equipment and software necessary to support access to the Tools.
B. Placement. FESCO will collaborate with WebMD to implement placement of the Tools as detailed in
Schedule C.
C. Compliance with Laws. FESCO will act in a professional manner, consistent with industry
standards, and will at all times comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
D. End User Activities. FESCO will use commercially reasonable efforts to not permit any person or
entity, other than Customer and End Users, to use or gain access to the Tools and shall provide
reasonable security devices to protect against unauthorized usage of or access to the Tools.
E. Provision of Plan Data. FESCO shall provide plan data information relevant to FESCO Customers’
health plans and updates thereto (“Plan Data”) as often as is deemed reasonably necessary by FESCO
to keep the Plan Data current and accurate, consistent with the provisions of Schedule C. WebMD
agrees to implement changes to such Plan Data as promptly as practicable, but in no event longer
than thirty (30) days following submission of such updated Plan Data by FESCO. WebMD acknowledges
that Plan Data provided by FESCO hereunder has been furnished to FESCO by the relevant health plans
and/or FESCO Customers. FESCO accepts no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of Plan
Data, provided that FESCO will promptly correct any inaccuracy, incompleteness or other defect in
such Plan Data of which FESCO becomes aware. WebMD shall not be responsible for the accuracy of
any Plan Data furnished to WebMD, provided that WebMD shall 1) present such Plan Data in connection
with the Tools and Customized Pages as accurately as such Plan Data is furnished to WebMD by FESCO
and 2) WebMD shall promptly correct any errors in such Plan Data reported to WebMD by FESCO.

of contract in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the terms of Schedule H.
ii. Subject to the provisions of Section 7(B)(iii), WebMD represents and warrants that the
information, content, and data that appear in the Tools and on the Customized Pages during

by health and medical professionals and organizations independent of WebMD and (b) are not
intended to replace professional medical advice and are not a tool for diagnosing the
existence of a specific disease in any given individual. FESCO further acknowledges that,
other than as specifically set forth herein or in the Schedules hereto, WebMD does not
guarantee the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of the information obtained from the
Tools, or warrant any results from using the Tools.

A. NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER WITH RESPECT TO ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY

OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 9 OR 10, AND (iv) BODILY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO TANGIBLE
PROPERTY.
Section 9. Confidentiality and Nondisclosure
A. Both parties shall maintain as confidential and shall not disclose (except for those employees,
attorneys, accountants and other advisors of the recipient and its Affiliates who need to know such
information in connection with the recipient’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement,
and have in turn been advised of the confidentiality obligation hereunder), copy, or use for
purposes other than the performance of this Agreement, any information which relates to the other
party’s, its Affiliates’ or their respective customers’ personal information and affairs, business
information and affairs, trade secrets, technology, research and development, or the terms of this
Agreement (“Confidential Information”) and each party agrees to protect that Confidential
Information with the same degree of care a prudent person would exercise to protect its own
confidential information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care) and to prevent the
unauthorized, negligent, or inadvertent use, disclosure, or publication thereof. Breach of
confidentiality and unauthorized disclosure may cause irreparable damage and therefore, in addition
to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the injured party shall have the right to seek
equitable and injunctive relief, and to recover the amount of damages (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such unauthorized use or disclosure. The
recipient shall be liable under this Agreement to the disclosing party for any use or disclosure in
violation of this Section by it or its Affiliates’ employees, attorneys, accountants or other
advisors.
B. Subject to applicable consumer privacy laws and regulations, the parties shall have no
obligation under this agreement with respect to any information that is: (a) already known by the
receiving party at the time of the disclosure; (b) publicly known at the time of the disclosure or
becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the receiving party; (c) subsequently disclosed
on a non-confidential basis by a third party not having a confidential relationship with the
disclosing party and which third party rightfully acquired such information; (d) independently
developed by the receiving party; (e) communicated to a third party with the express written
consent of the disclosing party; or (f) required to be disclosed to any governmental agency or is
required by any subpoena, summons, order or other judicial process, provided however that the
receiving party shall give at least fourteen days written notice to the other party prior to
disclosing such information.
C. WebMD acknowledges that as a financial institution, FESCO may be subject to certain laws and
regulations regarding the privacy and protection of consumer information, and that any receipt or
use of personal information by WebMD may also be subject to compliance with such laws and
regulations. WebMD agrees that any personally identifiable information or data concerning or
relating to FESCO’s customers or prospective customers, or any information or data that WebMD
collects or derives from interactions with FESCO, Customers or End Users, including without
limitation data collected or received by WebMD as an End User views and interacts with the Tools
(“Personal Information”), shall be treated as FESCO Confidential Information hereunder and shall be
used solely for the purpose of carrying out the services described under this Agreement. WebMD
also agrees to treat such Personal Information in
accordance with FESCO’s current published privacy policy (a copy of which is attached hereto as
Schedule J), except (without limiting the provisions of the following two paragraphs) to the extent
aspects of FESCO’s policy are inconsistent with WebMD’s obligations under this Agreement, or the
terms of use or privacy policy accepted by End Users.
In no event shall any such Personal Information be used by WebMD for any purpose other than that
contemplated in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the marketing of WebMD’s other
products or services), and WebMD is expressly prohibited from using Personal Information to contact
or market to FESCO customers or prospects through any means for any other purpose. WebMD agrees
that such Personal Information shall not be given, bartered, sold, traded, transferred or exchanged
in any way to other companies or entities for any uses without the express written consent of FESCO
and the applicable End User(s) and, if this were to occur, it would cause irreparable harm to
FESCO.
Should WebMD wish to share any such Personal Information with an Affiliate or a third party for the
purpose of carrying out the services described under this Agreement, WebMD shall (a) obtain the
advance written approval of FESCO, and (b) obtain the agreement of any such affiliate or third
party not to redisclose the Personal Information or to use the Personal Information other than as
set forth above in this Section. FESCO acknowledges that WebMD may share Personal Information with
its wholly owned subsidiary, Wellmed, Inc., solely for the purpose of assisting WebMD in the
performance of WebMD’s obligations under this Agreement.
Section 10. Protection of End User Data.
A. WebMD shall use data provided to WebMD by End Users (“End User Data”) solely to fulfill all
obligations set forth herein. In no event shall WebMD provide such End User Data to FESCO or to
third parties in a manner that identifies an End User without that End User’s prior consent,
provided that WebMD may use Aggregate Data (provided that such Aggregate Data is not identifiable,
directly or indirectly, with any individual Customer) for the purpose of reporting metrics about
its sites on an aggregate basis, such as total number of page views, aggregate number of users,
etc. All End User Data shall be protected in accordance with the security provisions described in
Schedule I hereto. WebMD agree that End Users shall retain rights of privacy in any and all
information provided by such End Users to WebMD in connection with use of the Tools and/or the
Customized Pages. Without limiting the obligations described in Section 9, such information shall
be treated at all times in accordance with WebMD’s then-current privacy policy.
B. WebMD will provide FESCO with electronic Reports as further described on
Schedule G hereto in such format as the parties may mutually agree upon. All such reports shall
be comprised of Aggregate Data that can be accessed online via FESCO’s confidential password on
such terms as agreed to by parties, unless otherwise provided for herein.
C. WebMD will not provide FESCO or Customer with any personally identifiable health
information (“PIHI”) unless it has received FESCO, Customer and End User authorization to do so.
Each party agrees to treat any and all PIHI in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations
(“Laws”).
D. In the event that FESCO has access to non-personally identifiable information about End Users
from a source or sources other than WebMD, FESCO specifically agrees not to attempt to identify
otherwise unidentifiable individual End Users through the use of such information.
E. Each Party agrees to promptly notify the other if it becomes aware of the inadvertent disclosure
of any personally identifiable information transmitted in violation of this Agreement.
F. In the event of any security breach or incident that affects the security, confidentiality or
integrity of End User Data, WebMD shall comply with the security provisions set forth in Schedule I
hereto and, upon receiving notification of such breach from WebMD, FESCO, at its option, will
either notify, or direct WebMD to notify, End Users of such security breach or incident if required
by applicable law or as otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties. In the event FESCO elects to
provide the notification, WebMD will reasonably assist FESCO with such notification. In no such
event shall WebMD directly notify Customers or End Users of a security breach or incident without
FESCO’s prior written approval of such notification, unless notification is required by law and
FESCO has failed to provide such approval within time frames specified by the applicable law.
Section 11. Indemnification.
A. WebMD Indemnity. WebMD will indemnify, defend and hold harmless, at its own expense, FESCO and
its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and
assigns with respect to any third party claims, suits, losses, damages, liabilities, demands,
costs, expenses and actions (“Liabilities”) against FESCO to the extent that such Liabilities are
based upon:
i. a breach of any of WebMD’s representations, warranties, obligations, covenants or
agreements hereunder;
ii. any bodily damage, personal injury or damage to property caused by the negligence or
misconduct of WebMD (except to the extent such Liabilities relate to the information,
content, or data, supplied by WebMD in the Tools or the Customized Pages, unless such
Liabilities are due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of WebMD);
iii. a claim that the Tools, when used in accordance with this Agreement, infringe any
proprietary right of any third party; provided, however, that WebMD shall have no obligation
pursuant to this clause iii to the extent that any claim is based on (a) any use of the
Tools in violation of this Agreement, or (b) any FESCO or Customer Content. If FESCO’s use
of any Tools is enjoined by reason of an infringement claim, WebMD shall either (1) procure
the right for FESCO to continue using the Tools, (2) replace or modify the components of the
Tools subject to the infringement claim with non-infringing components of substantially
equivalent functionality, or (3) if neither of the above are
available, refund to FESCO a pro-rata portion, if any, of the unused fees prepaid for access
to the affected Tools and, if the affected Tools constitute all or substantially all of the
Personal Health Manager or the Personal Health Decisions Tool, permit FESCO to terminate
this Agreement immediately;
iv. the gross negligence or willful misconduct of WebMD;
provided that, in any such case under (i) through (iv) above, WebMD shall not be responsible for
Liabilities based on the results of End Users’ decisions made in connection with use of the Tools
or the Customized Pages, unless such Liabilities are due to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of WebMD.
WebMD will pay those costs and damages awarded against FESCO (including attorneys’ fees) that are
specifically attributable to a claim covered under this paragraph A or those costs and damages
agreed to in a monetary settlement of such claim, and all such costs and damages shall be
considered Liabilities hereunder.
X. XXXXX Indemnity. FESCO will indemnify, defend and hold harmless WebMD and its affiliates and
its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns with
respect to any Liabilities to the extent that such Liabilities are based upon:
i. a breach of any of FESCO’s representations, warranties, obligations, covenants or
agreements hereunder;
ii. any bodily damage, personal injury or damage to property caused by the negligence or
misconduct of FESCO; or
iii. the gross negligence or willful misconduct of FESCO.
FESCO will pay those costs and damages awarded against WebMD (including attorneys’ fees) that are
specifically attributable to a claim covered under this paragraph B or those costs and damages
agreed to in a monetary settlement of such claim, and all such costs and damages shall be
considered Liabilities hereunder.
C. Indemnification Procedures. A party seeking indemnification hereunder shall give the party from
whom indemnification is sought reasonably prompt notice of the relevant claim; provided, however,
that failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party from its liability or
obligation hereunder except to the extent of any material prejudice directly resulting from such
failure. The indemnifying party shall control the defense of any third party claim giving rise to
the indemnification obligations herein; the indemnified party shall have the right to participate
in the proceeding at its own expense; provided that the indemnified party’s participation shall be
at the indemnifying party’s expense if either the indemnifying party fails to defend the claim or
the indemnifying party agrees to pay such expenses in writing. In addition, the indemnified party
shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim.
Section 12. Press Releases; Advertising and Promotion. The parties shall agree upon the language
for a press release regarding the services contemplated in this Agreement at a time to be mutually
agreed between the parties (such press release may be a joint release by both parties or an
individual release by one or both parties, as mutually agreed to by the parties). In addition,
each party shall have the right to review and approve in its absolute discretion, prior to posting,
publication, or other method of delivery, any additional press releases or any advertising,
marketing or promotional messages (regardless of the medium of transmission) and materials which
refer to or mention that party, that party’s products or services, or that party’s trademarks,
service marks or trade names.
Section 13. Insurance. WebMD, at its own expense, shall procure and maintain during the term of
this Agreement, policies of insurance to include the following coverage: (a) Workers’ Compensation
Insurance for its own employees that meets the statutory limits of the states in which WebMD

the aforementioned policies. WebMD shall furnish FESCO with a Certificate of Insurance evidencing
such coverage and such Certificate is to provide 30 days written notice to FMR Corp. prior to the
effective date of any termination of coverage. WebMD will provide FESCO with at least thirty (30)
days written notice of any material reduction in coverage. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed
