Section 2.01 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article VIII, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.02), HLTH shall be merged with and into WebMD. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of HLTH shall cease and WebMD shall continue as the surviving company of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). The Merger, the Share Issuance and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than the Divestitures) are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Transactions.”

Section 2.02 Effective Time; Closing. On the second Business Day following the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (the “Satisfaction Date”), a closing (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of O’Melveny & Xxxxx LLP, Times Square Tower, 0 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or such other place as the parties shall agree, for the purpose of confirming the satisfaction or waiver, as the case may be, of the conditions set forth in Article VIII; provided, however, that, if (a) the Satisfaction Date has occurred, (b) HLTH has entered into a definitive purchase agreement relating to a Divestiture and (c) HLTH reasonably believes that such Divestiture is likely to close no later than thirty (30) days after the Satisfaction Date, HLTH may elect to extend the date of the Closing to a date that is three (3) Business Days after the closing of such Divestiture; provided further, however, that, in no event shall the Closing occur after the End Date (the date of the Closing being referred to as, the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, WebMD shall file a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the date and time of such filing of the Certificate of Merger (or such later time as may be agreed by each of the parties hereto and specified in the Certificate of Merger) being the “Effective Time”).

Section 2.03 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of HLTH shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of HLTH shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.04 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(a) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in the form of Exhibit 2.04 (the “WebMD Charter Amendment”) and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed.

(b) At the Effective Time, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of WebMD, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

Section 2.05 Directors and Officers.

(a) The directors of WebMD and HLTH immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, removal or resignation.

(b) The officers of WebMD immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, removal or resignation.

ARTICLE III
EFFECT ON CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 3.01 Effect on Capital Stock; Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger:

(a) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and WebMD-Owned Stock. Each share of HLTH Common Stock held in the treasury of HLTH, and each share of HLTH Common Stock owned by WebMD or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of WebMD or of HLTH immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(b) Conversion of HLTH Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of HLTH Common Stock (other than any shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.01(a) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled and shall be converted automatically, payable upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 3.03, of the certificate formerly evidencing such share, into the right to receive (i) a number of shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Stock Consideration”) plus (ii) subject to Sections 3.01(d) and 3.02, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Cash Consideration Amount (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

(c) Effect on WebMD Capital Stock. Each share of the capital stock of WebMD not owned by HLTH or any HLTH Subsidiary issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding after the Effective Time, and each share of capital stock of WebMD owned by HLTH or any HLTH Subsidiary shall become treasury stock of WebMD.

(d) Adjustment to Cash Consideration. HLTH shall sell the HLTH Auction Rate Securities at or prior to the Effective Time. In the event that the aggregate cash proceeds from the sale of the HLTH Auction Rate Securities are less than $194.5 million, the Cash Consideration Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to (x) the difference between $194.5 million and the aggregate cash proceeds received by HLTH divided by (y) the number of shares of HLTH Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time (the “Reduction Amount”).

Section 3.02 WebMD Redeemable Merger Notes. In the event that one of the Divestitures has not been consummated and HLTH determines that the amount of Available Cash as of the Effective Time may be less than the Fully-Diluted Cash Consideration, HLTH may elect, by written notice to WebMD, to cause WebMD to issue, as of the Effective Time, notes with the principal terms set forth in the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit 3.02 (the “Merger Notes”) in the aggregate initial principal amount equal to the maximum amount by which HLTH determines the Fully-Diluted Cash Consideration could exceed the Available Cash (but not more than a maximum of $250 million). The Merger Notes issued in respect of each share of HLTH Common Stock in the Merger shall be in lieu of an amount of Fully-Diluted Cash Consideration equal to the initial principal amount of such Merger Notes. The Merger Notes shall be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Merger Notes Indenture”) between WebMD, as issuer, and a trustee mutually determined by WebMD and HLTH, to be entered into at or prior to the Closing, and which shall contain terms consistent with those set forth on the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit 3.02 and other customary terms and conditions.

Section 3.03 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, and in any case not later than the date on which HLTH shall mail the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the holders of HLTH Common Stock, WebMD shall enter into an agreement with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company or such other bank or trust company that may be designated by WebMD to serve as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in connection with the conversion of HLTH Common Stock contemplated by this Article III. At or immediately subsequent to the Effective Time, WebMD shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of HLTH Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article III through the Exchange Agent, (i) certificates representing the shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.01 as of the Effective Time sufficient to pay the Undiluted Stock Consideration, (ii) Merger Notes, if any, issuable pursuant to Section 3.02 and (iii) cash in an amount sufficient to pay the Undiluted Cash Consideration (such cash, certificates for shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, and certificates for Merger Notes, together with any payments of interest or principal with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). For purposes of such deposit, WebMD shall assume that there will not be any fractional shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock. WebMD shall make available to the Exchange Agent, for addition to the Exchange Fund, from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 3.03(e).

(b) Exchange Procedures. HLTH shall prepare and mail along with the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to each holder of record of HLTH Common Stock as of the record date for the HLTH Stockholders’ Meeting: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates evidencing such shares (together with any book-entry shares, the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates pursuant to such letter of transmittal, including instructions for use in effecting surrender of Certificates (or attaching affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or non-certificated shares represented by book-entry. In addition, HLTH shall use its best efforts to make the letter of transmittal available to all Persons who become holders of HLTH Common Stock during the period between such record date and the date of the HLTH Stockholders’ Meeting. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration in the form of (i) a check in the amount equal to the cash, if any, which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article III (including any cash in lieu of fractional shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock), (ii) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the shares of HLTH Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate (after taking into account all shares of HLTH Common Stock then held by such holder) and (iii) Merger Notes, if any, which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.02, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.03, each Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to the shares of HLTH Common Stock formerly represented thereby. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of HLTH Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer or stock records of HLTH, any cash to be paid upon, or shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock or Merger Notes to be issued upon, due surrender of the Certificate formerly representing such shares of HLTH Common Stock may be paid or issued, as the case may be, to the transferee if such Certificate is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer or similar Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to WebMD Class A Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate the right of receipt of which is represented thereby, until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of escheat, tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly, the amount of any cash payable with respect to a fractional share of WebMD Class A Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article III and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such whole shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock.

(d) Payments with Respect to Unexchanged Merger Notes. No payments of principal or interest, if any, made after the Effective Time with respect to the Merger Notes shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate the right of receipt of which is represented thereby, until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of escheat, tax or other applicable laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of Merger Notes issued in exchange therefor, without interest, the amount of principal and interest payable with respect to such Merger Notes following the Effective Time (or, with respect to the Convertible Notes, following the conversion of such notes) and prior to the date of surrender.

(e) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof the right to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of WebMD. Each holder of a fractional share interest shall be paid an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) such fractional share interest to which such holder (after taking into account all fractional share interests then held by such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (ii) the Reference Price. As promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent shall so notify WebMD, and WebMD shall deposit such amount with the Exchange Agent and shall cause the Exchange Agent to forward payments to such holders of fractional share interests subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Article III.

(f) No Further Ownership Rights. The Merger Consideration issued (and paid) in accordance with the terms of this Article III upon conversion of any shares of HLTH Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of HLTH Common Stock subject, however, to WebMD’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared or made by HLTH on such shares of HLTH Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or prior to the date of this Agreement and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.

(g) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into WebMD Class A Common Stock or HLTH Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to WebMD Class A Common Stock or HLTH Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(h) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of the shares of HLTH Common Stock for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to WebMD, upon demand, and any holders of the shares of HLTH Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to WebMD for the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions with respect to WebMD Class A Common Stock and any payments of principal and interest on the Merger Notes to which they

are entitled pursuant to this Article III. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income received with respect thereto) remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of HLTH Common Stock as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of WebMD free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i) No Liability. WebMD shall not be liable to any holder of shares of HLTH Common Stock for any share of WebMD Class A Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), Merger Notes (or principal or interest payments with respect thereto) or cash properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(j) Withholding Rights. WebMD shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of HLTH Common Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by WebMD, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of HLTH Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by WebMD.

(k) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by WebMD, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as WebMD may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled and any dividends, other distributions or payments of principal or interest to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to this Article III.

Section 3.04 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of HLTH shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of HLTH Common Stock thereafter on the records of HLTH. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing shares of HLTH Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of HLTH Common Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates are presented to the Exchange Agent or WebMD for any reason for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the proper Merger Consideration subject to and in accordance with the terms and requirements of this Article III.

Section 3.05 HLTH Stock Options. All options (“HLTH Stock Options”) outstanding, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, at the Effective Time under the HLTH Corporation 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended and restated effective August 11, 2006) and the other HLTH Equity Plans set forth in Section 3.05 of the HLTH Disclosure Schedule (collectively, “HLTH Stock Option Plans”), shall be treated in the Merger as set forth on Exhibit 3.05 attached hereto.

Section 3.06 Restricted Stock. If any shares of HLTH Common Stock (the “Restricted Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any HLTH Equity Plan or other agreement with HLTH, then each holder of Restricted Shares shall not receive the Merger Consideration for the Restricted Shares, but shall instead, at the Effective Time, for each Restricted Share held, receive the number of shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock equal to (i) the Stock Consideration plus (ii) the number of shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock that would be purchasable for the Cash Consideration at the Reference Price; provided, however, that the aggregate number of shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock each holder of Restricted Shares receives pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be rounded to the nearest whole number in the event such holder would otherwise receive a fractional share. The shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of HLTH Common Stock will also be unvested and subject to the same vesting schedule, repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition, and the certificates representing such shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock may accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. HLTH shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, WebMD is entitled to exercise any such repurchase options or other rights set forth in any such restricted stock purchase or other agreement.

Section 3.07 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. HLTH’s 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall terminate immediately following the purchase of shares of HLTH Common Stock on the last day of the purchase period ending on April 30, 2008; provided, that any provision thereof that is intended to survive such termination shall survive in accordance with the terms of the plan.

Section 3.08 Appraisal Rights/Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of HLTH Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such shares of HLTH Common Stock in accordance with and otherwise complied in all respects with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of HLTH Common Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or have otherwise waived, withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares of HLTH Common Stock under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in and in accordance with this Article III, of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of HLTH Common Stock. At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL.

(b) HLTH shall give WebMD (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by HLTH, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by HLTH and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. HLTH shall not, except with the prior written consent of WebMD, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HLTH

Except as set forth in the correspondingly-numbered sections and subsections of the HLTH Disclosure Schedule that has been delivered by HLTH to WebMD in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “HLTH Disclosure Schedule”) or as disclosed in the reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents filed by HLTH with the SEC and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Filed HLTH SEC Documents”), HLTH hereby represents and warrants to WebMD that:

Section 4.01 Corporate Organization.

(a) Each of HLTH and each HLTH Subsidiary is a corporation or a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has the requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority and all necessary Governmental Approvals to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing or to have such power, authority and Governmental Approvals could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to prevent or materially delay consummation of the Transactions or otherwise prevent or materially delay HLTH from performing its obligations under this Agreement and could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a HLTH Material Adverse Effect. Each of HLTH and each HLTH Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation or limited liability company to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to prevent or materially delay consummation of the Transactions or otherwise prevent or materially delay HLTH from performing its obligations under this Agreement and could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a HLTH Material Adverse Effect.

(b) A true and complete list of each HLTH Subsidiary, together with the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and the percentage of the outstanding capital stock or membership interest of each such HLTH Subsidiary owned by HLTH (directly or indirectly), is set forth in Section 4.01(b) of the HLTH Disclosure Schedule. HLTH does not directly or indirectly own any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity or similar interest in, any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business association or entity (other than WebMD and the WebMD Subsidiaries).

Section 4.02 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of HLTH consists of (i) 900,000,000 shares of HLTH Common Stock, (ii) 4,990,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, designated “New Preferred Stock” (“HLTH New Preferred Stock”) and (iii) 10,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, designated “Preferred Stock” (“HLTH Preferred Stock”). As of February 12, 2008, (i) 182,132,460 shares of HLTH Common Stock are issued and outstanding, all of which are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) 275,726,433 shares of HLTH Common Stock are held in the treasury of HLTH, and (iii) 0 shares of HLTH Common Stock are held by HLTH Subsidiaries. As of January 31, 2008, 5,623,381 shares of HLTH Common Stock are reserved for future issuance pursuant to outstanding employee stock options or restricted stock granted pursuant to the HLTH Equity Plans. As of the date of this Agreement, no shares of HLTH New Preferred Stock or HLTH Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. Except for outstanding awards issued under the HLTH Equity Plans, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character relating to the issued or unissued capital stock of HLTH or obligating HLTH or any HLTH Subsidiary to issue or sell any shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, HLTH.

(b) All of the issued and outstanding shares or other ownership interests of each HLTH Subsidiary are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and each such share or other ownership interest is owned by HLTH or another HLTH Subsidiary free and clear of all Encumbrances. There are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character relating to the issued or unissued capital stock of any HLTH Subsidiary or obligating any HLTH Subsidiary to issue or sell any shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, any HLTH Subsidiary.

(c) Each HLTH Plan is now and always has been operated in all material respects in accordance with its terms and the requirements of all applicable Laws, except where such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a HLTH Material Adverse Effect. HLTH and each HLTH Subsidiary has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it under, is not in any material respect in Default under, and has no knowledge of any material Default by any party to, any HLTH Plan.

(d) Each HLTH Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) or Section 401(k) of the Code has timely received a favorable determination letter which has not been revoked, opinion letter or advisory letter from the IRS that is so qualified and, to the Knowledge of HLTH, no fact or event has occurred since the date of such determination letter or letters from the IRS that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any such HLTH Plan or the exempt status of any related trust.

Neither HLTH nor any HLTH Subsidiary has been a “distributing corporation” or a “controlled corporation” in a distribution intended to qualify under Section 355(e) of the Code within the past five years. To the Knowledge of HLTH, neither HLTH nor any of its Affiliates has taken or agreed to take any action that would prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Any stock certificate that, immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, represented shares of the Old Class B Common Stock will, from and after the effectiveness of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Old Class B Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified.

ARTICLE V

A. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, subject to any rights, powers and preferences of any outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them.

B. Subject to applicable law, and any rights, powers and preferences of any outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds lawfully available therefor.

ARTICLE VI

In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by law, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized and empowered:

(a) to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of the stock required by law or this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80 percent of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required in order for the stockholders of the Corporation to alter, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws or to adopt additional bylaws; and

(b) from time to time to determine whether and to what extent, and at what times and places, and under what conditions and regulations, the accounts and books of the Corporation, or any of them, shall be open to inspection of stockholders; and, except as so determined or as expressly provided in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or in any Preferred Stock Designation, no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any account, book or document of the Corporation other than such rights as may be conferred by applicable law.

The Corporation may in its Bylaws confer powers upon the Board of Directors in addition to the foregoing and in addition to the powers and authorities expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Restated

Ex. 2.04-3

Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80 percent of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with paragraph (a) of this Article VI or this sentence. For purposes of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, “Voting Stock” shall mean the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

ARTICLE VII

A. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of such stockholders.

B. Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called by the Board of Directors, and any power of stockholders to call a special meeting is specifically denied.

C. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of the proposal by stockholders of any other action to be taken by the stockholders at a meeting shall be given in such manner as shall be provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

D. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80 percent of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with this Article VII.

ARTICLE VIII

A. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.

B. Unless and except to the extent that the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so require, the election of directors of the Corporation need not be by written ballot.

C. The Board of Directors (other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof (the “Preferred Stock Directors”)) shall be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. At each annual meeting of the stockholders, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. If the number of directors (other than Preferred Stock Directors) is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of

Ex. 2.04-4

directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

D. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, any director may be removed from office only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80 percent of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class.

E. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, vacancies resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been elected expires and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of authorized directors constituting the whole Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

F. During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock have the right to elect additional directors as provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions, and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall be reduced accordingly.

G. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80 percent of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with this Article VII.

Ex. 2.04-5

ARTICLE IX

A director of the corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the GCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

ARTICLE X

A. The Corporation elects to be governed by Section 203 of the GCL.

B. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80 percent of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with this Article X.

ARTICLE XI

Except as may be expressly provided in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation reserves the right at any time and from time to time to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or a Preferred Stock Designation, and any other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed herein or by applicable law, and all rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the right reserved in this Article XI.

From and after the Effective Time, all references to HLTH in the Conversion HLTH Stock Option Plans and the applicable stock option agreements issued thereunder shall be deemed to refer to WebMD, which shall have assumed the Conversion HLTH Stock Option Plans as of the Effective Time by virtue of this Agreement and without any further action.

	•		MedE America Corporation and Its Subsidiaries 1998 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan

No less than 90 days prior to the Effective Time, HLTH shall give notice to each holder of Accelerated HLTH Options under the Accelerated HLTH Stock Option Plans that (i) such holder’s Accelerated Options shall, to the extent unvested or unexercisable, be immediately vested and exercisable, and (ii) such holder shall have at least 60 days from the date of the notice to exercise the Accelerated Options, after which the Accelerated Options shall be cancelled and forfeited; provided, however, that such cancellation shall be contingent on the consummation of the Merger.

As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, WebMD shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each holder of a Substitute Option an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant thereto and such Substitute Option shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (including any antidilution provisions, and subject to the adjustments required by this Section 3.05 after giving effect to the Merger). WebMD shall comply with the terms of all such Substitute Options and operate with the intent, subject to the provisions of the HLTH Stock Option Plans, that (i) Substitute Options that qualified as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code prior to the Effective Time continue to qualify as incentive stock options after the Effective Time and (ii) the assumption of each Conversion HLTH Option will satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) so as not to be treated as the grant of a new stock right or a change in the form of payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. WebMD shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Substitute Options pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 3.05. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock subject to Substitute Options will be covered by an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) or another appropriate form, and WebMD shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements for so long as Substitute Options remain outstanding.

(d) Section 16 of the Exchange Act

On or after the date of the Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, each of WebMD and HLTH shall take all necessary action such that, with respect to each member of the HLTH Board and each employee of HLTH that is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the acquisition by such Person of WebMD Class A Common Stock or Substitute Options in the Merger and the disposition by any such Person of WebMD Class A Common Stock or HLTH stock options pursuant to the Transactions contemplated by the Agreement shall be exempt from the short-swing profit liability rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder.
