PROXY STATEMENT

 
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2006
      This Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy are furnished to stockholders of WebMD Health Corp., a Delaware corporation, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors from holders of outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, for use at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on September 12, 2006, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, at The Marriott at Glenpointe, 100 Frank W. Burr Boulevard, Teaneck, New Jersey 07666, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The date of this Proxy Statement is August 14, 2006 and it and a form of proxy are first being mailed or otherwise delivered to stockholders on or about August 15, 2006.
PROPOSALS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING
      The following proposals will be considered and voted on at the Annual Meeting:
  •  Proposal 1: Election of eight directors of WebMD, each to serve a one-year term, or until his successor has been elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal. The eight nominees are:
     
Mark J. Adler, M.D.
  James V. Manning
Neil F. Dimick
  Abdool Rahim Moossa, M.D.
Wayne T. Gattinella
  Stanley S. Trotman, Jr.
Jerome C. Keller
  Martin J. Wygod
  •  Proposal 2: A proposal to ratify and approve WebMD’s 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan so that WebMD can continue to use equity compensation to attract, retain and motivate employees and to maximize the deductibility of certain awards that may be granted under that Plan.
 
  •  Proposal 3: A proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to serve as WebMD’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.
      Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the election of each the nominees for director listed in Proposal 1 and “FOR” each of Proposals 2 and 3.
VOTING RIGHTS AND RELATED MATTERS
      Please complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy and promptly return it in the enclosed envelope or otherwise mail it to us. All properly signed proxies that we receive prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting and that are not revoked will be voted (or withheld from voting, as the case may be) at the Annual Meeting according to the instructions indicated on the proxies or, if no direction is indicated, as follows:
  •  FOR the election of each of the nominees for director listed below in Proposal 1;
 
  •  FOR the ratification and approval of WebMD’s Amended and Restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (which we sometimes refer to, in this Proxy Statement, as the 2005 Plan) described in Proposal 2; and

Table of Contents

  •  FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to serve as WebMD’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.
None of the proposals requires the approval of any other proposal to become effective.
      A stockholder may revoke a proxy at any time before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting by taking any of the following actions:
  •  delivering to the Secretary of WebMD, at the address set forth above, prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting, a written notice, bearing a date later than the date of the proxy, stating that the proxy is revoked;
 
  •  signing and so delivering a proxy relating to the same shares and bearing a later date prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting; or
 
  •  attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person, although attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.
      Please note, however, that if a stockholder’s shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and that stockholder wishes to vote at the Annual Meeting, the stockholder must bring to the meeting a letter from the broker, bank or other nominee confirming the stockholder’s beneficial ownership of the shares.
      Our Board of Directors does not know of any matter that is not referred to herein to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, the persons named in the proxies will have discretion to vote on these matters in accordance with their judgment.
Record Date and Outstanding Shares
      Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on July 25, 2006 as the record date for the determination of our stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at our Annual Meeting. Only holders of record of our stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. Votes may be cast either in person or by properly executed proxy.
      As of the close of business on the record date, there were 8,391,798 shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote held of record by approximately 44 stockholders, although we believe that there are approximately 5,000 beneficial owners of our Class A Common Stock. Unvested shares of restricted Class A Common Stock granted under the 2005 Plan (which we refer to as WebMD Restricted Stock) are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and are included in the above number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 48,100,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, all of which are held of record by Emdeon Corporation. No other voting securities of WebMD are outstanding.
Vote and Quorum Required
      On all matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting:
  •  the holders of our Class A Common Stock and the holders of our Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class and their votes are counted and totaled together;
 
  •  each share of our Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share; and
 
  •  each share of our Class B Common Stock is entitled to five votes per share.
Accordingly, the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock is equal to the 8,391,798 votes that the 8,391,798 shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to cast plus the 240,500,000 votes that the 48,100,000 shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to cast, which totals 248,891,798. Emdeon’s ownership of the 48,100,000 shares of Class B Common Stock represents approximately 96.6% of the combined voting power of the two classes of Common Stock. As a result, Emdeon is able, acting alone, to cause the approval of all proposals submitted for a vote at the Annual

Table of Contents

Meeting. Emdeon has indicated that it intends to vote in favor of the election of each the nominees for director listed in Proposal 1 and in favor of each of Proposals 2 and 3.
      The presence, in person or by properly executed proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the meeting. Abstentions will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Shares held by nominees for beneficial owners will also be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present if the nominee has the discretion to vote on at least one of the matters presented and even though the nominee may not exercise discretionary voting power with respect to other matters and voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner (sometimes referred to as a broker non-vote). If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned from time to time until a quorum is obtained.
      Proposal 1 (Election of Directors). Election of directors is by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting with respect to such election. Accordingly, the eight nominees receiving the greatest number of votes for their election will be elected. Abstentions, broker non-votes and instructions on the accompanying proxy card to withhold authority to vote for a nominee will result in that nominee receiving fewer votes for election.
      Proposal 2 (Proposal to Ratify and Approve the Amended and Restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan). The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote is required to ratify and approve the 2005 Plan described in Proposal 2. Abstentions with respect to Proposal 2 will be treated as shares that are present or represented at the meeting, but will not be counted in favor of that proposal. Accordingly, an abstention from voting on Proposal 2 will have the same effect as a vote against that proposal. Broker non-votes with respect to Proposal 2 will not be considered as present or represented at the meeting for purposes of that Proposal and, accordingly, will have no impact on the outcome of the vote with respect to Proposal 2.
      Proposal 3 (Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm). The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting is required to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to serve as WebMD’s independent auditor described in Proposal 3. Abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to Proposal 3 will not be considered votes cast for or against such ratification and, accordingly, will have no impact on the outcome of the vote with respect to Proposal 3.
Expenses of Proxy Solicitation
      We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies from our stockholders to be voted at the Annual Meeting and the cost of preparing and mailing this Proxy Statement to our stockholders. Following the original mailing of this Proxy Statement and other soliciting materials, we and our agents also may solicit proxies by mail, telephone, facsimile or in person. In addition, proxies may be solicited from our stockholders by our directors, officers and employees in person or by telephone, facsimile or other means of communication. These officers, directors and employees will not be additionally compensated but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the solicitation. Following the original mailing of this Proxy Statement and other soliciting materials, we will request brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders of our Common Stock to forward copies of this Proxy Statement and other soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares of our Common Stock and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. In these cases, we will, upon the request of the record holders, reimburse these holders for their reasonable expenses. We have retained Innisfree M&A Incorporated, a proxy solicitation firm, for assistance in connection with the solicitation of proxies for our Annual Meeting and will pay customary fees plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
No Appraisal Rights
      Holders of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

  (1)  The amounts set forth below include shares of WebMD Restricted Stock, which are subject to vesting requirements based on continued employment, in the respective amounts stated in the footnotes below. Holders of WebMD Restricted Stock have voting power, but not dispositive power, with respect to unvested shares of WebMD Restricted Stock. For information regarding the vesting schedules of the WebMD Restricted Stock, see “Executive Compensation — Summary Compensation Table” and “Compensation of Non-Employee Directors” above.
 
  (2)  Shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis for Class A Common Stock. Accordingly, under the rules and regulations of the SEC, which provide that shares of common stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by that person for the purpose of computing the total number of shares beneficially owned by that person and the percentage ownership of that person, Emdeon is the beneficial owner of 48,100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which would represent 85.8% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock on that basis. However, those shares are not deemed to be

Table of Contents

  outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person, each of which is based on the total number of shares of our outstanding Class A Common Stock which, as of July 25, 2006, was 8,391,798 (including unvested shares of WebMD Restricted Stock). The column entitled “Percent of Total Class A and Class B Outstanding” provides information on each listed holder’s percentage ownership of the total number of shares of our outstanding common stock which, as of July 25, 2006, was 56,491,798 (including unvested shares of WebMD Restricted Stock).

  (3)  Since each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to five votes per share and each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share, Emdeon controls, through its ownership of Class B Common Stock, approximately 96.6% of the combined voting power of the outstanding common stock of WebMD.
 
  (4)  The information shown is as of May 31, 2006 and is based upon information disclosed by FMR Corp., Fidelity Management and Research Company, Fidelity Growth Company Fund and Edward C. Johnson, 3d in a Schedule 13G filed with the SEC. Such persons reported that FMR Corp. and the other members of the filing group had, as of May 31, 2006, sole power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of 1,076,080 shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock and sole power to vote or to direct the vote of 17,300 shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock. Sole power to vote the other shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the filing group resides in the respective boards of trustees of the funds that have invested in the shares. The interest of Fidelity Growth Company Fund, an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, amounted to 545,200 shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock as of May 31, 2006.

  (6)  The information shown is as of December 31, 2005 and is based upon information disclosed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. in a Schedule 13G filed with the SEC, which reported sole dispositive power with respect to 400,800 shares, of which sole voting power was reported with respect to 46,900 shares.

PROPOSAL 1:
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
      Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has eight members. Two of the members are also employees of WebMD: Mr. Gattinella, our Chief Executive Officer; and Mr. Wygod, Chairman of the Board. Six of the members are non-employee directors: Drs. Adler and Moossa and Messrs. Dimick, Keller, Manning and Trotman. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of the non-employee directors, other than Mr. Keller, is also an independent director under applicable SEC rules and NASDAQ Global Market listing standards. The non-employee directors meet regularly without any employee directors or other WebMD employees present.
      At this year’s Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to elect eight members of the Board of Directors, each to hold office for a one-year term ending on the date of the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor is elected and has qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal. The Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of the Nominating Committee of the Board, has nominated Mark J. Adler, M.D., Neil F. Dimick, Wayne T. Gattinella, Jerome C. Keller, James V. Manning, Abdool Rahim Moossa, M.D., Stanley S. Trotman, Jr. and Martin J. Wygod for re-election at the Annual Meeting.
      The persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote for the election of those nominees, unless you indicate on the proxy card that your vote should be withheld.
      Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the election of these nominees as directors.
      We have inquired of each nominee and have determined that each will serve if elected. While our Board of Directors does not anticipate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve, if any nominee is not able to serve, proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee unless the Board of Directors chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on the Board.
Information Regarding the Nominees
      Biographical information regarding the nominees for election is included below:
         
Mark J. Adler, M.D.

(1)  Percent is calculated, with respect to grants by Emdeon, based upon the total number of options that Emdeon granted during 2005 and is calculated, with respect to grants by WebMD, based upon the total number of options that WebMD granted during 2005.
 
(2)  The estimated grant date present value for options to purchase Emdeon Common Stock reflected in the above table was determined using the Black-Scholes model and the following data and assumptions: (a) the applicable option exercise prices; (b) the exercise of options within three years of the date that they become exercisable; (c) a risk-free interest rate of 3.6% per annum; (d) volatility of 0.5; and (e) that no dividends are paid on Emdeon common stock.
  The estimated grant date present value for options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock reflected in the above table was determined using the Black-Scholes model and the following data and assumptions: (a) the option exercise price of $17.50; (b) the exercise of options within three years of the date that they become exercisable; (c) a risk-free interest rate of 4.2% per annum; (d) volatility of 0.6; and (e) that no dividends are paid on WebMD Class A Common stock.
 
  The ultimate values of the options will depend on the future market price of the underlying common stock, which cannot be forecast with reasonable accuracy. The actual value, if any, an optionee will realize upon exercise of an option will depend on the excess of the market value of the underlying common stock over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. We cannot predict whether the value realized by an optionee will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes model or any other model applied to value the options.
(W) These options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock were granted on September 28, 2005 and are schedule to vest and become exercisable in equal installments over four years upon each anniversary of the grant date.

In the event of a Change in Control of WebMD, the unvested portion of the options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock would continue to vest until the later of (1) two years from the date of grant and (2) the next scheduled vesting date following the Change in Control. The continued vesting applies only if Mr. Gang remains employed until six months following such Change in Control or is terminated by WebMD’s successor without Cause or he resigns for Good Reason.
 
  •  In the event of the termination of Mr. Gang’s employment, prior to the fourth anniversary of the start date, by WebMD without Cause or by Mr. Gang for Good Reason he would be entitled to continue to receive his base salary for one year from the date of termination, to receive any unpaid bonus for the year preceding the year in which the termination occurs and, to receive health coverage until the earlier of one year following his termination and the date upon which he receives comparable coverage under another plan. In the event that a termination of Mr. Gang’s employment by WebMD without Cause or by Mr. Gang for Good Reason occurs before the fourth anniversary of Mr. Gang’s start date, 25% of the options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock described above would continue to vest through the next vesting date following the date of termination.
 
  •  The employment agreement and the related agreement described below are governed by the laws of the State of New York.

      In connection with Mr. Gang’s employment, he has entered into a related agreement that contains confidentiality obligations that survive indefinitely. The agreement also includes non-solicitation provisions that prohibit Mr. Gang from hiring WebMD employees or soliciting any of WebMD’s clients or customers that he had a relationship with during the time he was employed by WebMD, and non-competition provisions that prohibit Mr. Gang from being involved in a business that competes with WebMD’s business or that competes with any other business engaged in by any affiliates of WebMD if he is directly involved in such business. The non-solicitation and non-competition obligations end on the first anniversary of the date employment has ceased.

Arrangements with Anthony Vuolo
      Anthony Vuolo, who serves as our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, was a party to an employment agreement with Emdeon.

The following is a description of Mr. Vuolo’s amended and restated employment agreement:
  •  The employment agreement provides that Mr. Vuolo will receive an annual base salary of $450,000 and will be eligible to earn a bonus of up to 100% of his base salary. Under the employment agreement, achievement of 50% of that bonus will be based upon our attainment of corporate financial and strategic goals to be established by the Compensation Committee of our Board in consultation with Mr. Vuolo and achievement of the remaining 50% will be determined in the discretion of our Compensation Committee, or in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of Emdeon’s Board with respect to services rendered by Mr. Vuolo to Emdeon.
 
  •  Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Vuolo was granted 44,000 shares of WebMD Restricted Stock and nonqualified options to purchase 176,000 shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock in connection with our initial public offering. The per share exercise price of the options is the initial public offering price of $17.50. The WebMD Restricted Stock and options vest in equal installments over four years upon each anniversary of the grant date.
 
  •  In the event of the termination of Mr. Vuolo’s employment due to his death or disability, by us without Cause (as described below), or by Mr. Vuolo for Good Reason (as described below), or as a result of our failure to renew his employment agreement, he would be entitled to:
        (a) continuation of his base salary for a period of eighteen months following the date of termination;
 
        (b) any unpaid bonus for the year preceding the year in which the termination of employment occurs, as well as payment for bonuses for the eighteen-month period following the date of termination calculated using the bonus paid for the year prior to the year of termination; and
 
        (c) continued participation in our welfare benefit plans for thirty-six months or if earlier, until he is eligible for comparable benefits.
      In addition, all vested options to purchase Emdeon Common Stock granted to Mr. Vuolo (other than the option granted March 17, 2004) would remain exercisable as if he remained in Emdeon’s employ through the original expiration date specified in each applicable stock option agreement. Further, 25% of the options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock granted in connection with our initial public offering would continue to vest through the next vesting date following the date of termination; provided that if the event triggering Good Reason is a Change in Control (as described below) then these options would be treated as described below. Mr. Vuolo’s receipt of these severance benefits is subject to his continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenants.
  •  For purposes of the employment agreement, (a) “Cause” includes (i) a material breach of his employment agreement that remains unremedied after 30 days written notice, or (ii) conviction of a felony; and (b) “Good Reason” includes (i) a material reduction in his title or responsibilities, (ii) the requirement to report to anyone other than our CEO, (iii) a reduction in his base salary or material fringe benefits, (iv) a material breach by us of his employment agreement, (v) relocation of his place of work outside Manhattan, New York, unless it is within 25 miles of his current residence, or (vi) the date that is six months following a Change in Control (as described below) of WebMD or Emdeon (so long as we are a subsidiary of Emdeon at the time of a Change in Control of Emdeon and that Mr. Vuolo remains employed by our successor or Emdeon’s successor, or is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason, during such six-month period).
 
  •  For purposes of the employment agreement, a “Change in Control” would occur when: (i) any person, entity, or group acquires at least 50% of the voting power of WebMD or Emdeon, (ii) there is a sale or all or substantially all of our or Emdeon’s assets in a transaction where then current

23


Table of Contents

  stockholders do not receive a majority of the voting power or equity interest in the acquiring entity or its controlling affiliates or (iii) a complete liquidation or dissolution of us or Emdeon occurs.
 
  •  The employment agreement also provides that in the event of a Change in Control of our company prior to the second anniversary of the date of grant of the stock option granted in connection with this initial public offering, as long as Mr. Vuolo remains employed for at least 6 months after the Change in Control (or is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason), then such option will continue to vest through the second anniversary of the date of grant of the stock option (i.e., 50% vested) whether or not Mr. Vuolo remains employed by us on the vesting date(s). In the event of a change in control of our company on or after the second anniversary, but prior to the fourth anniversary, of the date of grant of the stock option granted in connection with this initial public offering, as long as Mr. Vuolo remains employed for at least 6 months after the change in control (or is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason), then such option will vest through the next vesting date, whether or not Mr. Vuolo remains employed by us on such vesting date.
 
  •  The employment agreement provides that in the event of a transaction whereby we are no longer a subsidiary of Emdeon and as a result Mr. Vuolo is no longer providing services to Emdeon, then all options to purchase Emdeon’s stock granted to Mr. Vuolo will be treated as if his employment was terminated without Cause.
 
  •  The employment agreement contains confidentiality obligations that survive indefinitely and non-solicitation and non-competition obligations that end on the second anniversary of the date employment has ceased.
 
  •  The employment agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York.
 
  •  The employment agreement contains a tax gross-up provision relating to any excise tax that Mr. Vuolo incurs by reason of his receipt of any payment that constitutes an excess parachute payment as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. Any excess parachute and related gross-up payments made to Mr. Vuolo will not be deductible for federal income tax purposes.

Arrangements with Martin J. Wygod
      On August 3, 2005, Emdeon amended and restated the employment agreement, dated October 8, 2001, with Martin J. Wygod. The agreement was further amended on February 1, 2006. Under the amended agreement, Mr. Wygod serves as Emdeon’s Chairman of the Board, and also serves as Chairman of the Board of WebMD. In these positions, Mr. Wygod focuses on the overall strategy, strategic relationships and transactions intended to create long-term value for stockholders. The following is a description of Mr. Wygod’s amended employment agreement:
  •  The employment agreement provides for an employment period through August 3, 2010.
 
  •  Under the employment agreement, Mr. Wygod received an annual base salary of $1.26 million, for his services as Chairman of the Board of Emdeon, until the completion of WebMD’s initial public offering; when the initial public offering was completed in September 2005, Mr. Wygod’s base salary was reduced to $975,000 per year. For 2005, Mr. Wygod received a bonus of $450,000, determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, based on both his own and our company’s performance.
 
  •  Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Wygod was granted 55,000 shares of WebMD Restricted Stock and nonqualified options to purchase 220,000 shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock in connection with our initial public offering. The per share exercise price of the options is the initial public offering price of $17.50. The WebMD Restricted Stock and the options vest in equal installments over four years upon each anniversary of the grant date.

  •  In the event of termination of Mr. Wygod’s employment by us without “Cause” (as described below) or by Mr. Wygod for “Good Reason” (as described below), Mr. Wygod would become a consultant for us and would be entitled to receive his salary, at the rate then in effect, and continuation of benefits until the later of (i) two years following such termination or (ii) August 3, 2010. In addition, all options, or other forms of equity compensation, granted to Mr. Wygod by us or any of our affiliates (which would include WebMD) that have not vested prior to the date of termination would become vested as of the date of termination and, assuming there has not been a “Change in Control” of Emdeon or of WebMD (as described below), would continue to be exercisable as long as he remains a consultant (or longer if the plan or agreement expressly provided). In the event that Mr. Wygod’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, he or his estate would receive the same benefits as described above. For purposes of the employment agreement:
        (a) “Cause” includes a final court adjudication that Mr. Wygod (i) committed fraud or a felony directed against our company relating to his employment, or (ii) materially breached any of the material terms of the employment agreement; and
 
        (b) “Good Reason” includes the following conditions or events: (i) a material reduction in title or responsibility that remains in effect for 30 days after written notice, (ii) a final court adjudication that we materially breached any material provisions of the employment agreement, (iii) failure to serve on our Board or Executive Committee of our Board, or (iv) the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as described below) of Emdeon.
  •  The employment agreement provides that in the event there is Change in Control of Emdeon, all outstanding options and other forms of equity compensation (including equity compensation granted by WebMD) would become immediately vested on the date of the Change in Control and, if following the Change in Control, Mr. Wygod’s employment terminates for any reason other than Cause, they would continue to be exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the applicable date of grant. A Change in Control of Emdeon is also an event that constitutes Good Reason for purposes of a termination by Mr. Wygod. In the event there is a Change in Control of WebMD, any portion of Mr. Wygod’s equity that relates to WebMD will fully vest and become exercisable on the date of such event, and if following such event, Mr. Wygod’s engagement with WebMD is terminated for any reason other than cause, such equity will remain outstanding until the expiration of its original term. For purposes of the employment agreement:
        (a) a “Change in Control” of Emdeon includes (i) a change in the majority of the Board of Directors of Emdeon without the consent of the incumbent directors, (ii) any person or entity becoming the beneficial owner of 25% or more of the voting shares of Emdeon and the Compensation Committee determines that such transaction constitutes a change in control, taking into consideration all relevant facts, (iii) consummation of a reorganization, merger or similar transaction where Emdeon’s stockholders no longer represent 50% of the voting power and (iv) consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of Emdeon’s assets; and
 
        (b) a “Change in Control” of WebMD includes (i) a change in the majority of the Board of Directors of WebMD without the consent of the incumbent directors, (ii) any person or entity becoming the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the voting shares of WebMD, (iii) consummation of a reorganization, merger or similar transaction where WebMD’s stockholders no longer represent 50% of the voting power; and (iv) consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of WebMD’s assets
  provided that no public offering nor any split-off, spin-off, stock dividend or similar transaction as a result of which the voting securities of WebMD are distributed to Emdeon’s stockholders will constitute a Change in Control of WebMD or Emdeon.
  •  In the event Mr. Wygod terminates his engagement with WebMD for “Good Reason” (as described in the following sentence), WebMD Restricted Stock and options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock granted to him will fully vest and become exercisable on the date his

25


Table of Contents

  engagement terminates and will remain exercisable for the period beginning on such date and ending on the later of two years following such termination or August 3, 2010. For the purposes of a termination of Mr. Wygod’s engagement with WebMD by him, “Good Reason” means a material reduction in Mr. Wygod’s title or responsibilities as Chairman of the Board of WebMD.
 
  •  In the event that Mr. Wygod’s employment with Emdeon is terminated for any reason, but he remains Chairman of the Board of WebMD, WebMD will have no obligation to pay a salary to Mr. Wygod.
 
  •  The employment agreement contains confidentiality obligations that survive indefinitely and non-solicitation and non-competition obligations that continue until the second anniversary of the date his employment has ceased.
 
  •  The employment agreement contains a tax gross-up provision relating to any excise tax that Mr. Wygod incurs by reason of his receipt of any payment that constitutes an excess parachute payment as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. Any excess parachute payments and related tax gross-up payments made to Mr. Wygod will not be deductible for federal income tax purposes.

      Mr. Wygod was granted, on January 27, 2006, options to purchase 600,000 shares of Emdeon Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.77, the closing price of Emdeon Common Stock on the date of grant; and (b) 150,000 shares of Emdeon Restricted Stock. The options to purchase Emdeon Common Stock are scheduled to vest in equal annual installments of 25% over four years and the shares of Emdeon Restricted Stock are scheduled to vest in equal annual installments of 331/3 % over three years.
Letter Agreement with Roger C. Holstein
      Roger C. Holstein resigned, effective April 27, 2005, from all his positions with Emdeon and its subsidiaries.

  •  Mr. Holstein will continue to receive his annual base salary of $660,000 until October 27, 2007, provided that the base salary for the first six months was paid to Mr. Holstein in a lump sum at the end of such six-month period in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
Introduction
      The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors was formed at the time of our initial public offering in September 2005 in order to oversee our company’s compensation practices. Our Board has delegated to the Compensation Committee the authority to determine the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers. Each of the members of the Compensation Committee is a non-employee director within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act, an outside director within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and an independent director under applicable NASDAQ Global Market listing standards. In general, the responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include:
  •  oversight of our executive compensation program and our incentive and equity compensation plans;
 
  •  determination of compensation levels for and grants of incentive and equity-based awards to our executive officers; and
 
  •  review of and making recommendations regarding other matters relating to WebMD’s compensation practices.
      Prior to the formation of WebMD’s Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Emdeon was responsible for determining the compensation of our executive officers and performed certain related duties in connection with the preparations for our initial public offering. The Compensation Committees of Emdeon and WebMD continue to coordinate their decision-making where they deem it to be appropriate and Mark J. Adler, M.D. serves as Chairman of the Compensation Committees of both Emdeon and WebMD.
      The objective of WebMD’s compensation programs and policies is to foster a pay-for-performance culture, while driving shareholder value creation. To implement this, the Compensation Committee believes that WebMD’s compensation programs should achieve the following:
  •  provide competitive total compensation opportunities that will enhance WebMD’s ability to attract, motivate and retain critical executive talent;
 
  •  link a significant amount of executive compensation to long-term goals and strategies to focus management on the long-term interests of WebMD’s stockholders; and
 
  •  align the interests of executives and other employees with those of stockholders through the use of equity-based incentive awards that link a significant portion of compensation to stock performance.
The Committee reviews information regarding the compensation practices of other companies, including certain competitors and other peer companies that are likely to compete with WebMD for the services of our executives and employees and that information is a factor in the determinations by the Committee in setting executive officer compensation (including the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, as described below) and in its general oversight of compensation practices at WebMD. However, the Committee does not use that information to generate specific compensation amounts or targets and does not seek to create an objective standard for WebMD compensation based on what other companies have done. Instead, in each compensation decision, the Committee exercises its business judgment regarding the appropriateness of types and amounts of compensation in light of the value to WebMD of specific individuals.

Table of Contents

Compensation Components and Practices
Overview
      WebMD’s executive compensation program consists of base salary, an annual incentive plan, and long-term incentive compensation (stock options and restricted stock) as further described below.
      WebMD does not offer any deferred compensation plans to its directors or executive officers. WebMD does not offer any retirement plans to its directors and does not offer any retirement plans to its executive officers, other than the 401(k) plan generally available to employees of Emdeon and its subsidiaries.
Base Salary
      The base salaries of WebMD’s executive officers will be reviewed as necessary by the Compensation Committee. In determining salaries of executive officers and changes in those salaries, the Committee intends to consider various factors, including: company and individual performance, scope of responsibility and changes in that scope (including as a result of promotions), prior experience, salary history, market competitiveness and internal equity. However, it is the Committee’s philosophy that increases to executive officer pay should rely less on increases to base salary and more on performance-based annual and long-term incentive programs. Prior to our initial public offering, the Compensation Committee of Emdeon approved the following changes to the base salaries of our executive officers:
                         
    Date of Base   Base Salary   Base Salary
Executive Officer   Salary Change   Change Amount   After Change
             
David Gang(1)
    July 2005     $ (110,000 )   $ 450,000  
Wayne T. Gattinella(2)
    April 2005     $ 110,000     $ 560,000  
Martin J. Wygod(3)
    October 2005     $ (285,000 )   $ 975,000  
 
(1)  Mr. Gang’s base salary was reduced to reflect his change in status from Co-Chief Executive Officer of WebMD to Executive VP — Product & Programming and Chief Technology Officer (at which time, he ceased to be an executive officer of Emdeon).
 
(2)  Mr. Gattinella’s base salary was increased to reflect his promotion to Co-Chief Executive Officer of WebMD. He currently serves as the sole CEO of WebMD.
 
(3)  At the time of our initial public offering and the award to Mr. Wygod of shares of WebMD Restricted Stock and options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock, Mr. Wygod’s base salary was reduced to $975,000.
Annual Incentives
      WebMD’s executives, other than executive officers, are eligible to participate in an annual cash bonus program and receive performance-based cash awards. For these executives, individual target opportunities, as a percentage of their base salary, are generally established. These target percentages vary based on each executive’s level and scope of responsibility. Actual bonus amounts are determined considering an executive’s personal performance and the performance of WebMD during the year.
      WebMD’s executive officers are eligible to receive discretionary cash bonuses, as determined by the Compensation Committee based upon its assessment of company and individual performance, and/or bonuses determined in accordance with their individual employment agreements. The cash bonuses paid to our Named Executive Officers for 2005 are summarized in the Summary Compensation Table. No pre-established performance targets were used in determining bonus amounts paid by WebMD to our executive officers for 2005; the Compensation Committee determined such amounts based on its assessment of the performance of WebMD in 2005 (taking into consideration the extent to which financial

29


Table of Contents

and operational goals discussed by management and the Board were achieved) and of each executive officer’s individual performance and contributions during the year. In addition to receiving an annual bonus for his 2005 performance, Mr. Gang received a cash payment of $500,000 in May 2005, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, as an inducement to join WebMD. The bonus paid to Mr. Wygod for 2005 was paid by Emdeon and determined by its Compensation Committee.
Long-Term Incentives
      Long-term incentives in the form of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock are granted to executives in accordance with the Committee’s philosophy of providing a total compensation package that incents both short-term and long-term performance. These incentives are designed to promote long-term growth, reward executives for maximizing shareholder value and to encourage the retention of key executives over the long-term.
      In connection with WebMD’s initial public offering, WebMD granted options to purchase its Class A Common Stock and WebMD Restricted Stock awards to eligible employees, including the executive officers. A total of 4,195,700 options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock were granted, all with an exercise price equal to the initial public offering price of $17.50. The total number of shares of WebMD Restricted Stock that were awarded in connection with the initial public offering was 374,900. These equity awards are all scheduled to vest over a 4 year period, with 25% of each award vesting on each anniversary date of the date of grant for the 4 year vesting period. In May 2005, Mr. Gang also received options to purchase 400,000 shares of Emdeon Common Stock and 100,000 shares of Emdeon Restricted Stock at the time he joined WebMD. The stock options were granted at an exercise price of $9.52 and both equity awards will vest over 4 years, with 25% of each award vesting on each of the four anniversary dates of the date of grant.
Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer
      In April 2005, Mr. Gattinella was named Chief Executive Officer of WebMD in anticipation of the September 2005 initial public offering of the Company. At the time of his appointment and pursuant to the terms of his April 28, 2005 employment agreement with WebMD (which was approved by the Compensation Committee of Emdeon), Mr. Gattinella received an increase in base salary from $450,000 to $525,000.
      Under his employment agreement, Mr. Gattinella is eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to 100% of his base salary (of which, 50% is based on the attainment of annual financial goals and 50% is based on the attainment of other annual performance goals). However, for 2005, the amount of his annual bonus was determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Based on its assessment of WebMD’s performance in 2005 and Mr. Gattinella’s individual achievements, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Gattinella should receive a bonus of $280,000.
      In accordance with his employment agreement, Mr. Gattinella was awarded, at the time of WebMD’s initial public offering, 55,000 shares of WebMD Restricted Stock and options to purchase 220,000 shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock, with an exercise price of $17.50, the initial public offering price of WebMD Class A Common Stock. Both equity awards will vest over 4 years, with 25% of each award vesting on each of the four anniversary dates of the date of grant.
Policy With Respect to Qualifying Compensation for Deductibility and Other Matters
      Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits the ability of a publicly held corporation to deduct compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers. It is the policy of the Compensation Committee to comply, where practicable, with Section 162(m) of the Code so as to maximize the tax deductibility of compensation paid to its top executive officers. Accordingly, we are seeking stockholder approval of the 2005 Plan in order to ensure that compensation attributable to options

30


Table of Contents

or other “performance-based” compensation granted will be tax deductible by WebMD. However, annual cash bonuses for WebMD’s executive officers and grants of restricted stock do not qualify as performance-based within the meaning of Section 162(m) and, therefore, are subject to its limits. The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation received by WebMD’s executive officers is appropriate under the circumstances and in the best interests of WebMD and its stockholders.

      In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. In addition, the Audit Committee reviewed with Emdeon’s independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, rather than just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended, other standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) SEC rules, and other professional standards. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young their independence from management and Emdeon, including the matters in the written disclosures required of Ernst & Young by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as adopted, on an interim basis, by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board pursuant to Rule 3600T. The Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of audit-related services (see “Proposal 3 — Services and Fees

32

of Ernst & Young” below) during 2005 by Ernst & Young is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young’s independence.
      Additionally, the Audit Committee discussed with our independent auditors the overall scope and plan for their audit of our financial statements and their audits of our internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee met with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examination, their evaluation of WebMD’s internal controls and the overall quality of WebMD’s financial reporting.
      In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements and related schedule be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee has also approved the retention of Ernst & Young as our independent auditors for 2006.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with Emdeon
      This section describes the material provisions of agreements between WebMD (or one of its subsidiaries) and Emdeon (or one of its subsidiaries other than WebMD and its subsidiaries). For additional information regarding the financial terms of these agreements and charges from WebMD to Emdeon and from Emdeon to WebMD under these agreements and certain predecessor arrangements, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Transactions with Emdeon” and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Services Agreement
      We have entered into a Services Agreement with Emdeon pursuant to which we are charged for specified services provided to us by Emdeon. Under the Services Agreement, Emdeon receives an amount that reasonably approximates its cost of providing services to us. The services that Emdeon provides to us include certain administrative services, including services relating to payroll, accounting, tax planning and compliance, employee benefit plans, legal matters and information processing. In addition, we reimburse Emdeon for an allocated portion of certain expenses that Emdeon incurs for outside services and similar items, including insurance and audit fees, outside personnel, facilities costs, professional fees, software maintenance fees and telecommunications costs. Emdeon has agreed to make the services available to us for a term of up to 5 years following our initial public offering. However, we are not required, under the Services Agreement, to continue to obtain services from Emdeon. In the event we wish to receive those services from a third party or provide them internally, we have the option to terminate services, in whole or in part, at any time we choose to do so, generally by providing, with respect to the specified services or groups of services, 60 days’ notice and, in some cases, paying a termination fee of not more than $30,000 to cover costs of Emdeon relating to the termination. Emdeon has the option to terminate the services that it provides to us, in whole or in part, if it ceases to provide such services for itself, upon at least 180 days’ written notice to us. From the date of the initial public offering through December 31, 2005, we paid Emdeon approximately $696,000 under the Services Agreement.
Registration Rights Agreement
      We have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Emdeon, which requires us to use our reasonable best efforts, upon Emdeon’s request, to register under the applicable federal and state securities laws any of the shares of our equity securities of or owned by Emdeon for sale in accordance with Emdeon’s intended method of disposition, and to take such other actions as may be necessary to permit the sale in other jurisdictions, subject to specified limitations. Emdeon has the right to include the shares of our equity securities it beneficially owns in other registrations of these equity securities we initiate. We are required to pay all expenses incurred in connection with each registration, excluding underwriters’ discounts, if any. Subject to specified limitations, the registration rights are assignable by Emdeon and its assigns. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary indemnification and contribution provisions.
Tax Sharing Agreement
      We are a party to a Tax Sharing Agreement with Emdeon that governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations of Emdeon and us with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other matters regarding taxes and related tax returns. In general, the Tax Sharing Agreement does not require Emdeon or us to reimburse the other party to the extent of any net tax savings realized by the consolidated group, as a result of the group’s utilization of our or Emdeon’s attributes, including net operating losses, during the period of consolidation. However, under the Tax Sharing Agreement, Emdeon has agreed to compensate us for any use of our net operating losses that may result from certain extraordinary transactions, including a sale of Emdeon Business Services and Emdeon Practice Services. Specifically, if Emdeon or any corporation that is controlled, directly or indirectly, by

34


Table of Contents

Emdeon other than WebMD or its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Emdeon Subgroup”) has income or gain from the sale of assets (including a subsidiary) outside the ordinary course of business, extinguishment of debt or other extraordinary transaction (“Extraordinary Gains”), Emdeon will make a payment to WebMD and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “WebMD Subgroup”) equal to 35% of the amount of the WebMD Subgroup’s net operating losses (“NOLs”) that are absorbed in the consolidated tax return as a result of the incurrence of such Extraordinary Gains. For information regarding the application of the Tax Sharing Agreement to Emdeon’s sale of Emdeon Practice Services to Sage Software, Inc. announced on August 8, 2006, see Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
      Although Emdeon has stated that it does not currently intend or plan to undertake a split-off, spin-off or other similar transaction, we have agreed in the Tax Sharing Agreement that we will not knowingly take or fail to take any action that could reasonably be expected to preclude Emdeon’s ability to undertake a split-off or spin-off on a tax-free basis. We also have agreed that, in the event that Emdeon decides to undertake a split-off or spin-off of our capital stock to Emdeon’s shareholders, we will enter into a new Tax Sharing Agreement with Emdeon that will set forth the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to any such split-off or spin-off.
      Beneficial ownership of at least 80% of the total voting power and value of our capital stock is required in order for Emdeon to continue to include the WebMD Subgroup in its consolidated group for federal income tax purposes. It is the present intention of Emdeon to continue to file a single consolidated federal income tax return with its eligible subsidiaries. Each member of the consolidated group for federal income tax purposes will be jointly and severally liable for the federal income tax liability of each other member of the consolidated group. Accordingly, although the Tax Sharing Agreement allocates tax liabilities between WebMD and Emdeon during the period in which WebMD is included in the consolidated group of Emdeon, we could be liable for the federal income tax liability of any other member of the consolidated group in the event any such liability is incurred and not discharged by such other member. The Tax Sharing Agreement provides, however, that Emdeon will indemnify WebMD to the extent that, as a result of being a member of the consolidated group of Emdeon, WebMD becomes liable for the federal income tax liability of any other member of the consolidated group, other than the WebMD Subgroup. Correspondingly, the Tax Sharing Agreement requires us to indemnify Emdeon and the other members of the consolidated group with respect to our federal income tax liability. Similar principles generally will apply for income tax purposes in some state, local and foreign jurisdictions.
Indemnity Agreement
      We have entered into an Indemnity Agreement with Emdeon, under which we and Emdeon have agreed to indemnify each other with respect to some matters. We have agreed to indemnify Emdeon against liabilities arising from or based on:
  •  the operations of our business;
 
  •  any material untrue statements or omissions in the Prospectus included in the IPO Registration Statement, other than material untrue statements or omissions contained in or pertaining to information relating solely to Emdeon; and
 
  •  guarantees or undertakings made by Emdeon to third parties in respect of our liabilities or obligations or those of our subsidiaries.
Emdeon has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities arising from or based on:
  •  the operations of Emdeon’s business;
 
  •  any material untrue statements or omissions in the Prospectus included in the IPO Registration Statement, other than material untrue statements or omissions contained in or pertaining to information relating solely to us; and
 
  •  certain pre-existing legal proceedings.

The agreement contains provisions governing notice and indemnification procedures.
Intellectual Property License Agreement
      The Intellectual Property License Agreement governs certain rights, responsibilities, and obligations of Emdeon and us with respect to the name “WebMD” and related intellectual property that Emdeon has used. Under the Intellectual Property License Agreement, we have agreed to license certain of our trademarks, trade names and service marks back to Emdeon for an initial period of 12 months to allow Emdeon to transition to its new name. Except as provided in the Intellectual Property License Agreement, Emdeon transferred any right it may have to the name “WebMD” and the related intellectual property to our company prior to the completion of our initial public offering.
Private Portals License
      Emdeon has licensed our private portal health and benefits management services for use by its employees and the employees of its other subsidiaries for a period of three years, through June 30, 2008. The fees payable by Emdeon to us for this license are approximately $250,000 annually.
Little Blue Book License
      Through our The Little Blue Book subsidiaries, for an annual license fee of $250,000, we provide a license to a subsidiary of Emdeon of certain physician-related information, such as names, addresses and hospital and HMO affiliation, for use by Emdeon’s subsidiary in communicating with physicians. This license agreement is automatically renewed for successive one-year terms unless either party elects not to renew by providing a 30-day notice.
Product Development, Marketing and Related Arrangements
      On January 31, 2006, Emdeon and WebMD entered into the agreements described below. Pursuant to these agreements, the parties have agreed to support each other’s product development and marketing of certain product lines, as more fully described below. WebMD will, in general, manage the product development and marketing of Emdeon’s and WebMD’s product lines in the following areas:
  •  online tools and applications that are displayed to physicians and consumers that provide “quality” ratings of providers and that analyze patient care (we refer to these types of applications as External Clinical Quality Applications); and
 
  •  online tools and applications that are displayed to end-user consumers, plan members and/or patients to assist in (a) communicating with, or viewing information from, providers or payers, (b) making informed benefit, provider and/or treatment choices, through access to content, personal health records, plan comparison tools, benefit comparison tools, cost treatment indicators, calculators, etc. or (c) managing and utilizing consumer-directed health plans and the related health savings accounts and other consumer directed financial accounts (we refer to all of these types of applications as Consumer-Directed Applications).
Emdeon may continue to develop and market products and services that are principally provided for internal use by healthcare payers and that provide clinical quality measures of physicians, hospitals and providers, and analytics and reporting to such payers on the quality of patient care (we refer to these types of applications as Internal Clinical Quality Services) and WebMD may develop and market its own Internal Clinical Quality Services and it may, but is not required to, sell Emdeon’s Internal Clinical Quality Services. The parties have also agreed to work together to try to develop certain other products and services.
      We believe that the growing market for Consumer Directed Health Plans (referred to as CDHPs) and related Health Savings Accounts (referred to as HSAs) presents a significant future business

36


Table of Contents

opportunity for WebMD and that the agreements described below will help accelerate our progress in this market in several ways:
  •  Under CDHPs, consumers are required to assume greater responsibility for the financial impact of their personal healthcare decisions. Accordingly, consumers in CDHPs require tools that can assist them in making more informed decisions. In providing services that help meet those needs, we will have access to certain Emdeon services and capabilities that we believe will further enhance our services, including our services that provide comparative information on healthcare provider cost and quality.
 
  •  The agreements are expected to lead to new capabilities for data sharing that will enable WebMD and Emdeon to develop new services that facilitate appropriate payment to providers for their services, and inform patients of their financial responsibility for a specific procedure or treatment.
 
  •  Our agreement with Emdeon to market the WebMD CDHP/ HSA offering to Emdeon’s health plan customers is expected to help accelerate WebMD’s market penetration of these new services.
      Business Services Agreement. The terms of this agreement, which will remain in effect for 5 years unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, include the following:
  •  External Clinical Quality Applications. Emdeon will provide a perpetual license to WebMD of Emdeon’s External Clinical Quality Applications. In addition, WebMD will be permitted to develop, market and sell its own or other third party External Clinical Quality Applications. During the term of this Agreement, Emdeon will not provide External Clinical Quality Applications as stand-alone products other than through WebMD Health; provided, however, that Emdeon will be permitted to offer External Clinical Quality Applications to its potential or current payer customers in connection with the integration of External Clinical Quality Applications with other Emdeon core services. During the term of this agreement, WebMD will pay Emdeon a 20% royalty on net sales of Emdeon’s External Clinical Quality Applications (or, in particular instances, such other mutually agreed on royalty). In addition, if WebMD requires customization or incremental development of an Emdeon External Clinical Quality Application in connection with a potential sale, and/or if WebMD needs assistance in resolving a performance issue regarding an Emdeon External Clinical Quality Application, Emdeon will charge WebMD customary rates for such assistance. The pricing pursuant to which WebMD will make the Emdeon External Clinical Quality Applications available to an Emdeon customer will be competitive with the pricing it provides to other similar customers purchasing substantially the same products at the same volume or commitment levels. The provisions of the agreement do not apply to Emdeon’s electronic health record applications, products that provide for sending and receiving of prescriptions and lab results and other similar applications provided by Emdeon and reasonable extensions of such products. Upon termination of the agreement, Emdeon has agreed to provide WebMD with a copy of the underlying source code and documentation for the External Clinical Quality Applications so that WebMD may continue to use the perpetual license to such products.
 
  •  Internal Clinical Quality Applications. Emdeon may make available to WebMD customers Emdeon’s Internal Clinical Quality Services for integration with WebMD’s products and services. The pricing pursuant to which Emdeon will make Emdeon’s Internal Clinical Quality Services available to WebMD customers will be competitive with the pricing it provides to other similar customers purchasing substantially the same products at the same volume/commitment levels. WebMD may also develop and sell its own Internal Clinical Quality Services or license and work with third parties for such services. Emdeon will pay WebMD a 10% sales commission on net sales of Emdeon’s Internal Clinical Quality Services by WebMD.
 
  •  Consumer-Directed Applications. Emdeon has, in general, agreed that WebMD will manage the product development and marketing of Consumer-Directed Applications and that, except as described below, Emdeon will not make such applications available itself or through a third party, other than in conjunction with WebMD.

37


Table of Contents

  —  If Emdeon identifies a need for a Consumer-Directed Application in order to support a business requirement related to the marketing of its core services, Emdeon will first present WebMD with the opportunity to meet Emdeon’s requirement. If WebMD elects not to pursue this opportunity or if, after electing to do so, fails to meet the applicable delivery schedule, Emdeon may pursue that opportunity through a third party or on its own, on substantially the same terms. For each Consumer-Directed Application provided to Emdeon, WebMD is paid the greater of: (a) WebMD’s cost plus 50%; or (ii) WebMD’s established market price for such product (which price will be competitive with the pricing WebMD provides to other similar customers purchasing substantially the same products at the same volume/commitment levels). In addition, if Emdeon sells the Consumer-Directed Application to a third party, Emdeon will pay WebMD a 10% royalty on net sales of the application.
 
  —  In addition, WebMD and Emdeon have agreed to work together to develop a potential Consumer Directed Application that may provide information regarding the potential cost of care or financial responsibility for individual medical and/or drug claims. Emdeon has agreed that any such product developed that provides a patient or plan member view as to the portion of the cost of care for which the patient or plan member is responsible shall be provided through WebMD, and during the term of this agreement, Emdeon will not make such product available itself or through a third party other than in conjunction with WebMD. If Emdeon and WebMD develop such product, they have agreed to negotiate an equitable allocation between the parties of the sales price for such product.
 
  —  The provisions of the agreement relating to Consumer-Directed Applications do not apply to the following Emdeon products and services: (a) paper and electronic invoices, statements, checks and explanation of benefits forms (EOBs), along with reasonable extensions of these products and services; (b) currently contemplated patient-facing applications linked to the practice management systems and electronic medical records systems of Emdeon Practice Services; (c) services provided by VIPS under contracts with the United States government and/or state governments; and (d) distribution (in addition to through WebMD), through portals that are not competitive with the WebMD Health consumer portal, of online consumer access for healthcare payment and billing services referred to above in clause (a).
      On August 7, 2006, WebMD and Emdeon Practice Services, Inc. (which we refer to as EPS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Emdeon, entered into an Amended and Restated Business Services Agreement in preparation for the sale by Emdeon of EPS to Sage Software, Inc., which was announced on August 8, 2006. The amended agreement contains the provisions applicable to the relationship between EPS and WebMD that were in the existing agreement and was entered into in order to separate those provisions from the provisions applicable to the other parties thereto. The existing agreement remains in effect among the other parties thereto.
      Marketing Agreement. The terms of this agreement, which will remain in effect for 5 years unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, include the following:
  •  Emdeon’s Business Services segment will market to its payer customers, for integration into their CDHP offerings, WebMD’s online decision-support tools that support CDHPs and HSAs, including retirement health care and HSA planners, cost estimator and expense alerts (we refer to these tools, collectively, as HSA Tools). During the term of the agreement, Emdeon has agreed not to market other services that are similar to the HSA Tools.
 
  •  Emdeon will receive a commission of 10% of the net sales of HSA Tools made through Emdeon.
      Joint Development Agreement. The terms of this agreement, which will remain in effect for 5 years unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, include the following:
  •  EPS and WebMD have agreed to integrate WebMD’s personal health record with the clinical products, including the electronic medical record, of EPS to allow import of data from one to the other, subject to applicable law and privacy and security requirements.

38


Table of Contents

  •  EPS has agreed such integration of its clinical products will be done exclusively with WebMD’s personal health record; provided, however, that EPS has the right to integrate with a third party’s personal health record if, after good faith efforts to market WebMD’s personal health record, a customer requests the third party personal health record and EPS would be at reasonable risk of losing the potential sale if it did not integrate with the third party.
Other Business Arrangements with Emdeon
      We have in the past, and may from time to time in the future, have small transactions with Emdeon or its subsidiaries not involving an ongoing contract. For example, from time to time, Emdeon has advertised some of its products and services on our physician portals.
Other Related Party Transactions
      Emdeon was reimbursed approximately $259,000, $236,000 and $230,000 during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, by Martin J. Wygod (who serves as its Chairman of the Board and as our Chairman of the Board), and a corporation that he controls, for personal use of certain of Emdeon’s staff and office facilities and for the personal portion of certain travel expenses.
      Mark J. Adler, M.D., a non-employee director of WebMD and of Emdeon, is a partner in a group medical practice that is a customer of Emdeon’s Practice Services segment. The practice purchases products and services on terms generally available, in the ordinary course of our business, to similar customers. During 2005, the aggregate amount payable to Emdeon Practice Services by this practice was approximately $31,000. During 2004, the aggregate amount payable was approximately $19,000. During 2003, the aggregate amount payable was approximately $73,000.
      During 2006, LGS DEV, LLC, a software development firm, is expected to undertake certain project work for WebMD. These services include developing, installing and testing several software tools for use in the operation of WebMD’s business. The aggregate fees, for all such services during 2006, to be paid by WebMD are currently expected to be approximately $275,000. The brother of David Gang, one of our executive officers, is a partner in this firm.
      FMR Corp. beneficially owned, based on its holdings reported in a Schedule 13G as of May 31, 2006, shares representing approximately 12.8% of the outstanding WebMD Class A Common Stock and, based on its holdings reported in a Schedule 13G as of December 31, 2005, approximately 16.2% of Emdeon’s outstanding common stock. Affiliates of FMR Corp. provide services to Emdeon in connection with the Emdeon 401(k) Savings and Employee Stock Ownership Plan and the Porex 401(k) Savings Plan. During 2005 and 2004, the aggregate amount charged to Emdeon for these services was approximately $38,000 and $44,000, respectively. In 2004, we entered into an agreement with Fidelity Human Resources Services Company LLC (“FHRS”) (formerly known as Fidelity Employer Services Company LLC) to integrate WebMD’s private portals product into the services FHRS provides to its clients. FHRS provides human resources administration and benefit administration services to employers. We recorded revenue of $2,960,000 and $817,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $1,068,000 and $984,000 was included in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to the FHRS agreement.

PROPOSAL 2:
APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
      Prior to our initial public offering, our Board and Emdeon, which was our sole stockholder at that time, approved our 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Pursuant to applicable tax rules, we are seeking the approval by our stockholders of the 2005 Plan in order to maintain the tax deductible status of certain of the awards that may be granted under the 2005 Plan. If such approval is not obtained, the 2005 Plan will be terminated and no further awards will be granted thereunder. As more fully described under “Voting Rights and Related Matters — Vote and Quorum Required” above, Emdeon is able, acting alone, to cause the approval of Proposal 2 and has indicated that it intends to vote in favor of Proposal 2.
      As of August 11, 2006, the market price of our Class A Common Stock, based upon the last sales price as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market, was $38.57 per share.
      Our Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” Proposal 2 so that, among other things, we may continue to use options and other forms of equity compensation as a method of attracting, retaining and motivating highly qualified individuals in a competitive environment and so that we maintain the tax deductible status of the compensation realized from the exercise of the options granted under the 2005 Plan or other performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m).
      The 2005 Plan is WebMD’s only equity compensation plan. Our officers (including our Named Executive Officers) have been granted Emdeon Restricted Stock and options to purchase shares of Emdeon Common Stock under Emdeon’s equity compensation plans. See “Executive Compensation” above. Emdeon’s equity compensation plans are administered by Emdeon’s Compensation Committee and contain terms and conditions that are substantially similar to the terms of our 2005 Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions of Emdeon’s equity compensation plans and of agreements related to specific grants and so long as WebMD remains a subsidiary of Emdeon for purposes of the applicable plan, Emdeon Restricted Stock and options to purchase Emdeon Common Stock held by WebMD officers and employees will continue to vest and remain outstanding so long as the officer or employee remains in the employ of WebMD.
      Set forth below is a summary of the principal features of the 2005 Plan. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2005 Plan, which appears as Annex E to this Proxy Statement.
Summary of the 2005 Plan
General
      The purpose of the 2005 Plan is to promote our success by linking the personal interests of our or our parent’s employees, officers, directors and consultants to those of our stockholders, and to provide participants with an incentive for outstanding performance. The 2005 Plan authorizes the grant of awards in any of the following forms:
  •  options to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock, which may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options;
 
  •  stock appreciation rights;
 
  •  performance shares;
 
  •  restricted stock;
 
  •  dividend equivalents;
 
  •  other stock-based awards;

40


Table of Contents

  •  any other right or interest relating to our Class A Common Stock; or
 
  •  cash.
      Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2005 Plan are employees or officers (including executive officers) of WebMD or its subsidiaries and parent, directors of WebMD and certain consultants to WebMD or any of its subsidiaries. As of August 1, 2006, approximately 850 officers and employees of WebMD and its subsidiaries (including all of its executive officers), as well as each of its 6 non-employee directors, are eligible to receive grants under the 2005 Plan. As of August 1, 2006, approximately 5,280 officers and employees of Emdeon and its subsidiaries (other than WebMD and its subsidiaries) are eligible to receive grants under the 2005 Plan and three employees of Emdeon have received a grant under the 2005 Plan. The Compensation Committee does not, in general, intend to make grants under the 2005 Plan to employees of Emdeon and its subsidiaries who are not officers or employees of WebMD or its subsidiaries.
Share Limits
      An aggregate of 7,150,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock are issuable under the 2005 Plan and, as of August 1, 2006, approximately 1,638,022 shares were available for future grant under the 2005 Plan.
      The maximum number of shares of our Class A Common Stock with respect to one or more options, stock appreciation rights or combination of options and stock appreciation rights that may be granted during any one calendar year under the 2005 Plan to any one person is 412,500 (all of which, may be granted as Incentive Stock Options), except that that limit may be increased by 412,500 for awards made in connection with a person’s initial hiring.
      The maximum fair market value of any awards (determined as of the date of the grant), other than options and stock appreciation rights, that may be received by a participant, less any consideration paid by the participant for such award, during any one calendar year under the 2005 Plan is $5,000,000. The maximum number of shares of our Class A Common Stock that may be subject to one or more performance shares (or used to provide a basis of measurement for one to determine the value of a performance share) granted in any one calendar year to any one person is 412,500.
Administration
      The 2005 Plan is administered by our Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the authority:
  •  to designate participants;
 
  •  to determine the type or types of awards to be granted to each participant and the number, terms and conditions of awards or to amend the terms of such award (subject to the terms of the 2005 Plan);
 
  •  to accelerate the vesting or lapse of restrictions applicable to an award based in each case on such considerations as the Committee may determine in its discretion;
 
  •  establish, adopt or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem advisable to administer the 2005 Plan; and
 
  •  make all other decisions and determinations that may be required under the 2005 Plan.
      Subject to certain limitations, the Compensation Committee is permitted to delegate to one or more directors or executive officers its authority under the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee delegated certain of its authority to Wayne Gattinella and Anthony Vuolo, acting jointly, to grant awards to employees who are not executive officers up to the following limits: options to purchase up to 50,000 shares and restricted stock with an aggregate fair market value of $200,000.

Table of Contents

Stock Options
      The Compensation Committee is authorized under the 2005 Plan to grant options, which may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. All options will be evidenced by a written award agreement between us and the participant, which will include any provisions specified by the Compensation Committee. The exercise price of an option may not be less than the fair market value of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. The terms of an incentive stock option will be intended to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Stock Appreciation Rights
      The Compensation Committee may also grant stock appreciation rights. Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the holder will have the right to receive the excess, if any, of the fair market value of one share of our Class A Common Stock on the date of exercise, over the grant price of the stock appreciation right as determined by the Compensation Committee, which will not be less than the fair market value of one share of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. All awards of stock appreciation rights will be evidenced by an award agreement reflecting the terms, methods of exercise, methods of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, and any other terms and conditions of the stock appreciation right, as determined by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant.
Restricted Stock Awards
      The Compensation Committee may make awards of restricted Class A Common Stock to participants, which will be subject to restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Compensation Committee may impose, including, without limitation, restrictions on the right to vote restricted stock or the right to receive dividends, if any, on the restricted stock. These awards may be subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment or upon a failure to satisfy performance goals during the applicable restriction period.
Performance Shares
      The Compensation Committee may grant performance shares to participants on terms and conditions as may be selected by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will have the discretion to determine the number of performance shares granted to each participant and to set performance goals and other terms or conditions to payment of the performance shares in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and value of performance shares that will be paid to the participant.
Dividend Equivalents
      The Compensation Committee is authorized to grant dividend equivalents to participants subject to terms and conditions as may be selected by the Compensation Committee. Dividend equivalents will entitle the participant to receive payments equal to dividends (in cash, shares of our Class A Common Stock or other property) with respect to all or a portion of the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock subject to an award.
Other Stock-Based Awards
      The Compensation Committee may, subject to limitations under applicable law, grant other awards that are payable in, or valued relative to, shares of our Class A Common Stock as will be deemed by the Compensation Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the 2005 Plan, including without limitation shares of Class A Common Stock awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to any restrictions or conditions. The Compensation Committee will determine the terms and conditions of any other stock-based awards.

Annual Awards to Non-Employee Directors
      The 2005 Plan provides for an automatic grant on January 1 of each year of options to purchase 13,200 shares of our Class A Common Stock to each member of our Board on that date who is not an employee of ours or of Emdeon. These options will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant and will vest as to 25% of the underlying shares on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the date of grant (full vesting on the fourth anniversary of the date of the grant). These options will expire ten years after the date of grant (unless previously exercised) or earlier in the event the optionee ceases to serve as a director. See “Acceleration upon Certain Events” below for a description of certain events that will result in acceleration of vesting of these options.
Performance Goals
      In order to preserve full deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Compensation Committee may determine that any award will be determined solely on the basis of:
  •  the achievement by us or one of our subsidiaries of a specified target return, or target growth in return, on equity or assets;
 
  •  total stockholder return, described as our stock price appreciation plus reinvested dividends, relative to a defined comparison group or target over a specific performance period;
 
  •  our stock price;
 
  •  the achievement by us or a business unit, or one of our subsidiaries, of a specified target, or target growth in, revenues, net income, earnings per share, EBIT or EBITDA; or
 
  •  any combination of the above.
      If an award is made on this basis, the Compensation Committee must establish goals prior to the beginning of the period for which the performance goal relates, or by a later date as may be permitted under applicable tax regulations, and the Compensation Committee may for any reason reduce, but not increase, any award, notwithstanding the achievement of a specified goal. Any payment of an award granted with performance goals will be conditioned on the written certification of the Compensation Committee in each case that the performance goals and any other material conditions were satisfied.
Limitation on Transfer and Beneficiaries
      No award under the 2005 Plan is assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, except in the case of an incentive stock option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. However, the Compensation Committee may permit other transfers if it deems appropriate.
Acceleration upon Certain Events
      Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable award agreement, upon the participant’s death or termination of employment as a result of disability, all outstanding options, stock appreciation rights, and other awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised will become fully exercisable and all restrictions on outstanding awards will lapse. Any options or stock appreciation rights will thereafter continue or lapse in accordance with the other provisions of the 2005 Plan and the award agreement. In addition, the Compensation Committee may at any time in its discretion declare any or all awards to be fully or partially vested and exercisable, provided that the Compensation Committee will not have the authority to accelerate or postpone the timing of payment or settlement with respect to awards subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code in a manner that would cause the awards to be subject to certain related interest and penalty provisions. The Compensation Committee may discriminate among participants or among awards in exercising such discretion. Awards made to our directors who are not employed by us or our parent will automatically accelerate in the event of a Change of Control. For purposes of the Plan, a Change of Control generally includes (i) a change in the majority of the Board of Directors of WebMD without the consent of the incumbent directors, (ii) any person or entity becoming the beneficial owner of

43


Table of Contents

50% or more of the voting shares of WebMD, (iii) consummation of a reorganization, merger or similar transaction where WebMD’s stockholders no longer represent 50% of the voting power; and (iv) consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of WebMD’s assets; provided that no public offering nor any split-off, spin-off, stock dividend or similar transaction as a result of which the voting securities of WebMD are distributed to Emdeon’s stockholders will constitute a Change in Control of WebMD.
No Repricing
      No adjustment may be made to a stock option or stock appreciation right award under the 2005 Plan (by amendment, cancellation and regrant, exchange or other means) that would constitute a repricing of the per share exercise or base price of the award without prior approval of our stockholders. The Committee is, however, required to make certain adjustments to the per share exercise price or base price, as well as certain other terms, in the case of a stock split and certain other events affecting the underlying common stock.
Termination and Amendment
      Our Board or the Compensation Committee has the right at any time to amend or terminate the 2005 Plan, but it may condition any amendment on the approval of our stockholders if such approval will be necessary or advisable under tax, securities, stock exchange or other applicable laws, policies or regulations. The Board or the Compensation Committee has the right to amend or terminate any outstanding award without approval of the participant, but an amendment or termination may not, without the participant’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of the award determined as if it had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of the amendment or termination, and the original term of any option may not be extended. The Compensation Committee has broad authority to amend the 2005 Plan or any outstanding award without the approval of the participants to the extent necessary to comply with applicable tax laws, securities laws, accounting rules or other applicable laws, or to ensure that an award is not subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. If any provision of the 2005 Plan or any award agreement contravenes any regulation or U.S. Department of Treasury guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code that could cause an award to be subject to interest and penalties, such provision will be modified to maintain the original intent of the provision without violating Section 409A. Furthermore, any discretionary authority that the Compensation Committee may have pursuant to the 2005 Plan will not be applicable to an award that is subject to Section 409A to the extent such discretionary authority will contravene Section 409A.
Federal Income Tax Information
      The following discussion is a summary of the federal income tax consequences relating to the grant and exercise of awards under the 2005 Plan and the subsequent sale of common stock that will be acquired under this Plan. The tax effect of exercising awards may vary depending upon the particular circumstances, and the income tax laws and regulations change frequently.
      Nonqualified Stock Options. There will be no federal income tax consequences to a participant or to us upon the grant of a nonqualified stock option. When the participant exercises a nonqualified option, however, he will realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the option shares that he receives upon exercise of the option at the time of exercise over the exercise price, and we will be allowed a corresponding deduction, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Any gain that a participant realizes when the participant later sells or disposes of the option shares will be short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on how long the participant held the shares.
      Incentive Stock Options. There typically will be no federal income tax consequences to a participant or to us upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. If the participant holds the option shares for the required holding period of at least two years after the date the option was granted or one year after exercise of the option, the difference between the exercise price and the amount realized upon sale or

44


Table of Contents

disposition of the option shares will be long-term capital gain or loss, and we will not be entitled to a federal income tax deduction. If the participant disposes of the option shares in a sale, exchange, or other disqualifying disposition before the required holding period ends, he will realize taxable ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the option shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price, and we will be allowed a federal income tax deduction equal to such amount, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. While the exercise of an incentive stock option does not result in current taxable income, the excess of the fair market value of the option shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price will be an item of adjustment for purposes of determining the participant’s alternative minimum tax.
      Stock Appreciation Rights. The participant will not recognize income, and we will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time a stock appreciation right is granted. When the participant exercises the stock appreciation right, the fair market value of any shares of common stock received will be taxable as ordinary income, and we will be allowed a federal income tax deduction equal to such amount, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
      Restricted Stock. Unless a participant makes an election to accelerate recognition of the income to the date of grant as described below, the participant will not recognize income, and we will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time a restricted stock award is granted. When the restrictions lapse, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the common stock as of that date, less any amount he paid for the stock, and we will be allowed a corresponding tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. If the participant files an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code within 30 days after the date of grant of the restricted stock, he will recognize ordinary income as of the date of grant equal to the fair market value of the stock as of that date, less any amount a participant paid for the stock, and we will be allowed a corresponding tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Any future appreciation in the stock will be taxable to the participant at capital gains rates. However, if the stock is later forfeited, such participant will not be able to recover the tax previously paid pursuant to his Section 83(b) election.
      Performance Shares. A participant will not recognize income, and we will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time performance shares are granted. When the participant receives payment under the performance shares, the amount of cash and the fair market value of any shares of stock received will be ordinary income to the participant, and we will be allowed a corresponding tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

New Plan Benefits Table
      Awards to officers and other employees under the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan are determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion or, in the case of employees who are not executive officers, pursuant to authority delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, acting jointly. Awards under this Plan to our non-employee directors are determined by our Compensation Committee, in its discretion, except that our non-employee directors receive automatic annual grants of options to purchase 13,200 shares on January 1 of each year, with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our Common Stock on the last trading day of the prior year. As a result, it is not possible to determine the benefits and amounts that will be received by any individual participant or group of participants in the future. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the grants of options shown on the table below were made pursuant to the 2005 Plan to (i) our Named Executive Officers (listed individually), (ii) our current executive officers (in the aggregate), (iii) our non-employee directors (in the aggregate), and (iv) our employers who are not executive officers (in the aggregate).

PROPOSAL 3:
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
      The Audit Committee has appointed the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, to be WebMD’s independent auditor for the current fiscal year and, with the endorsement of the Board of Directors, recommends to stockholders that they ratify that appointment. Ernst & Young has served as our independent auditors since 2005 and as Emdeon’s independent auditors since 1995.
      Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of Proposal 3.
      Although stockholder approval of the Audit Committee’s appointment of Ernst & Young is not required by law, the Board of Directors believes that it is advisable and a matter of good corporate practice to give stockholders an opportunity to ratify this appointment. If this proposal is not approved at the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee will reconsider its appointment of Ernst & Young.
      A representative of Ernst & Young is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. The representative will be afforded an opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to questions by stockholders. If the selection of Ernst & Young is ratified, the Audit Committee nevertheless retains the discretion to select different accounting firms in the future, should the Audit Committee then deem such selection to be in WebMD’s best interest and in the best interest of the stockholders. Any such selection need not be submitted to a vote of stockholders.
Services and Fees of Ernst & Young
      In addition to retaining Ernst & Young LLP to audit our consolidated financial statements for 2005 and in connection with our initial public offering and to review our quarterly financial statements, we retained Ernst & Young to provide certain related services. The fees for Ernst & Young’s services to WebMD in 2005 were:
         
Type of Fees   Amount of Fees
     
Audit Fees
  $ 2,060,000  
Audit-Related Fees
     
Tax Fees
     
All Other Fees
     
       
Total Fees
  $ 2,060,000  
       
      The “audit fees” include: (a) fees billed for professional services (i) for the audit of the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, (ii) for the audit of the consolidated financial statements included in the IPO Registration Statement, and (iii) for review of the consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed for the third quarter of 2005; and (b) fees billed for services that are normally provided by the principal accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. These services were pre-approved by our Audit Committee or, if prior to our initial public offering, were pre-approved by the Audit Committee of Emdeon’s Board of Directors.
      Our Audit Committee has, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, decided to consider whether to pre-approve permissible non-audit services and fees on a case-by-case basis, rather than pursuant to a general policy, with the exception of acquisition-related due diligence engagements, which have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee and are subject to monitoring by the Chairman of the Audit Committee. To ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, our Audit Committee has delegated to its Chairman the authority to pre-approve permissible non-audit services and fees and to amend or modify pre-approvals that have been granted by the entire Audit Committee. A report of any such actions taken by the Chairman is provided to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting.

      3. In consultation with corporate management, the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm and the internal auditors, the Committee shall review the Corporation’s accounting procedures, internal controls, financial reporting processes and disclosure controls and procedures, and shall take such action with respect to any of those matters as the Committee may determine to be necessary or appropriate. The Committee shall annually obtain and review a report from the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm, which shall be delivered prior to and within 90 days of the filing of the audit report with the SEC, which sets forth:
  •  all critical accounting policies and practices used by the Corporation,

  •  any other required reports from the registered public accounting firm.
      5. At least annually, the Committee shall consider the independence of the registered public accounting firm, including whether the provision by the firm of permitted non-audit services is compatible with independence, and obtain and review a report from, and discuss with, the registered public accounting firm describing all relationships between the auditor and the Corporation.
      6. The Committee shall pre-approve, to the extent required by applicable law, all audit engagements and any permitted non-audit engagements and the related fees and terms with the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm. The Committee may establish policies and procedures for the engagement of the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm to provide permitted non-audit services.

        (b) Time and Conditions of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, subject to Section 7.1(e) and 7.3. The Committee also shall determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised. The Committee may waive any exercise provisions at any time in whole or in part based upon factors as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion so that the Option becomes exerciseable at an earlier date.
 
        (c) Payment. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the exercise price of an Option may be paid (i) in cash, (ii) by actual delivery or attestation to ownership of freely transferable shares of stock already owned; provided, however, that to the extent required by applicable accounting rules, such shares shall have been held by the Participant for at least six months, (iii) by a combination of cash and shares of Stock equal in value to the exercise price or (iv) by such other means as the Committee, in its discretion, may authorize.

        (d) Evidence of Grant. All Options shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement between the Corporation and the Participant. The Award Agreement shall include such provisions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be specified by the Committee.

  Option under the circumstances described in paragraphs (3), (4) and (5) below, provide in writing that the Option will extend until a later date, but if an Option is exercised after the dates specified in paragraphs (3), (4) and (5) below, it will automatically become a Non-Qualified Stock Option:

      Unless the exercisability of the Incentive Stock Option is accelerated as provided in Article 14, if a Participant exercises an Option after termination of employment, the Option may be exercised only with respect to the shares that were otherwise vested on the Participant’s termination of employment.
        (b) Individual Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time an Award is made) of all shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.00.
 
        (c) Ten Percent Owners. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate unless the exercise price per share of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value per share of Stock at the date of grant and the Option expires no later than five years after the date of grant.
 
        (d) Expiration of Incentive Stock Options. No Award of an Incentive Stock Option may be made pursuant to the Plan after the day immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.
 
        (e) Right to Exercise. During a Participant’s lifetime, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s Disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.
 
        (f) Directors. The Committee may not grant an Incentive Stock Option to a non-employee director.

may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, upon the satisfaction of performance goals or otherwise, as the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter.
      10.3 Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment during the applicable restriction period or upon failure to satisfy a performance goal during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Corporation; provided, however, that the Committee may provide in any Award Agreement that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock.
      10.4 Certificates for Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine.

ARTICLE 11
DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS
      11.1 Grant of Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Participants subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents shall entitle the Participant to receive payments (in cash, Stock or other property) equal to dividends with respect to all or a portion of the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents be paid or distributed when accrued, or be deemed to have been reinvested in additional shares of Stock or otherwise reinvested.

ARTICLE 13
ANNUAL AWARDS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
      13.1 Grant of Options. Each Non-Employee Director who is serving in such capacity as of January 1 of each year that the Plan is in effect shall be granted a Non-Qualified Option to purchase 13,200 shares of Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Article 15. In addition, each Non-Employee Director who is serving in such capacity as of the effective date of the Initial Public Offering shall be granted a Non-Qualified Stock Option to purchase 13,200 shares of Stock on such date. Each such date that Options are to be granted under this Article 13 is referred to hereinafter as a “Grant Date”. In addition, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit or require each Non-Employee Director to receive all or any portion of his or her compensation for services as a director in the form of an Award under the Plan with such term and conditions as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.
      If on any Grant Date, shares of Stock are not available under the Plan to grant to Non-Employee Directors the full amount of a grant contemplated by the immediately preceding paragraph, then each Non-Employee Director shall receive an Option (a “Reduced Grant”) to purchase shares of Stock in an amount equal to the number of shares of Stock then available under the Plan divided by the number of Non-Employee Directors as of the applicable Grant Date. Fractional shares shall be ignored and not granted.
      If a Reduced Grant has been made and, thereafter, during the term of the Plan, additional shares of Stock become available for grant, then each person who was a Non-Employee Director both on the Grant Date on which the Reduced Grant was made and on the date additional shares of Stock become available (a “Continuing Non-Employee Director”) shall receive an additional Option to purchase shares of Stock. The number of newly available shares shall be divided equally among the Options granted to the Continuing Non-Employee Directors; provided, however, that the aggregate number of shares of Stock subject to a Continuing Non-Employee Director’s additional Option plus any prior Reduced Grant to the Continuing Non-Employee Director on the applicable Grant Date shall not exceed 13,200 shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 15). If more than one Reduced Grant has been made, available Options shall be granted beginning with the earliest such Grant Date.
      13.2 Option Price. The option price for each Option granted under this Article 13 shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of the Option.
      13.3 Term. Each Option granted under this Article 13 shall, to the extent not previously exercised, terminate and expire on the date ten (10) years after the date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated as provided in Section 13.4.
      13.4 Lapse of Option. An Option granted under this Article 13 shall not automatically lapse by reason of the Participant ceasing to qualify as a Non-Employee Director but remaining as a member of the Board. An Option granted under this Article 13 shall lapse under the earliest of the following circumstances:
        (1) The Option shall lapse ten years after it is granted.
 
        (2) If the Participant ceases to serve as a member of the Board for any reason other than as provided in the proviso to this paragraph (2) or paragraph (3) below, the Option shall lapse, unless it is previously exercised, (A) in the case of Option grants made to Non-Employee Directors after January 27, 2006, three years after the Participant’s termination as a member of the Board and (B) in the case of Option grants made to Non-Employee Directors on or prior to January 27, 2006, on the later of (x) 51/2 months following the Participant’s termination as a member of the Board of Directors

  or (y) December 31 of the year in which such termination of service occurs; provided, however, that if the Participant is removed for cause (determined in accordance with the Corporation’s bylaws, as amended from time to time), the Option shall (to the extent not previously exercised) lapse immediately.
 
        (3) If the Participant ceases to serve as a member of the Board by reason of his Disability or death, the Option shall lapse, unless it is previously exercised, (A) in the case of Option grants made to Non-Employee Directors after January 27, 2006, three years after the Participant’s termination as a member of the Board and (B) in the case of Option grants made to Non-Employee Directors on or prior to January 27, 2006, 141/2 months following the Participant’s termination as a member of the Board of Directors.
 
        (4) If the Participant dies during the post termination exercise period specified above in paragraph (2) or in paragraph (3) and before the Option otherwise lapses, the Option shall lapse one year after the Participant’s death. Upon the Participant’s death, any exercisable Options may be exercised by the Participant’s beneficiary, determined in accordance with Section 14.5.

      If a Participant exercises Options after termination of his or her service on the Board, he or she may exercise the Options only with respect to the shares that were otherwise exercisable on the date of termination of his service on the Board. Such exercise otherwise shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 13.
      13.5 Cancellation of Options. Upon a Participant’s termination of service for any reason other than death or Disability, all Options that have not vested in accordance with the Plan shall be cancelled immediately.
      13.6 Exercisability. Subject to Section 13.7, each Option grant under this Article 13 shall be exercisable as to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Option shares on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Grant Date, such that the Options will be fully exercisable after four years from the Grant Date.
      13.7 Acceleration Upon Change of Control. Notwithstanding Section 13.6, in the event of a Change of Control, each Option granted under this Article 13 that is then outstanding immediately prior to such Change of Control shall become immediately exercisable in full on the date of such Change in Control.
      13.8 Termination of Article 13. No Options shall be granted under this Article 13 after January 1, 2015.
      13.9 Non-exclusivity. Nothing in this Article 13 shall prohibit the Committee from making discretionary Awards to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to the other provisions of the Plan before or after January 1, 2015. Options granted pursuant to this Article 13 shall be governed by the provisions of this Article 13 and by other provisions of the Plan to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Article 13.
ARTICLE 14
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS
      14.1 Stand-alone, Tandem, and Substitute Awards. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, (subject to the last sentence of Section 4.3) or in substitution for, any other Award granted under the Plan. If an Award is
2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN –
AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE JULY 27, 2006
ANNEX E — PAGE 14


Table of Contents

granted in substitution for another Award, the Committee may require the surrender of such other Award in consideration of the grant of the new Award. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.
      14.2 Term of Award. The term of each Award shall be for the period as determined by the Committee, provided that in no event shall the term of any Incentive Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with the Incentive Stock Option exceed a period of ten years from the date of its grant (or, if Section 7.2(c) applies, five years from the date of its grant).
      14.3 Form of Payment for Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable law or Award Agreement, payments or transfers to be made by the Corporation or a Parent or Affiliate on the grant or exercise of an Award may be made in such form as the Committee determines at or after the time of grant, including, without limitation, cash, Stock, other Awards or other property, or any combination thereof, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments or on a deferred basis, in each case determined in accordance with rules adopted by, and at the discretion of, the Committee.
      14.4 Limits on Transfer. No right or interest of a Participant in any unexercised or restricted Award may be pledged, encumbered or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Corporation or a Parent or Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Corporation or a Parent or Affiliate. No unexercised or restricted Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a domestic relations order that would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied to an Award under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers where the Committee concludes that such transferability (i) does not result in accelerated taxation or other adverse tax consequences, (ii) does not cause any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option to fail to be described in Section 422(b) of the Code, and (iii) is otherwise appropriate and desirable, taking into account any factors deemed relevant, including, without limitation, state or federal tax or securities laws applicable to transferable Awards.
      14.5 Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding Section 14.4, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and such Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time, provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.
      14.6 Stock Certificates. All Stock issuable under the Plan is subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate or issue instructions to the transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock.
      14.7 Acceleration Upon Death or Disability. Unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, upon the Participant’s death or Disability during his employment or service as a director, all outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards and other Awards in the nature of rights

that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable and all restrictions on outstanding Awards shall lapse. Any Option or Stock Appreciation Rights Awards shall thereafter continue or lapse in accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Section 7.2(b), the excess Options shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options.
      14.8 Acceleration of Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions. Subject to Sections 7.3(b) and 13.7, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, at any time (including, without limitation, prior to, coincident with or subsequent to a Change of Control) determine that (a) all or a portion of a Participant’s Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully or partially exercisable, and/or (b) all or a part of the restrictions on all or a portion of the outstanding Awards shall lapse, in each case, as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare; provided, however, that, with respect to Awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall not have the authority to accelerate or postpone the timing of payment or settlement of an Award in a manner that would cause such Award to become subject to the interest and penalty provisions under Section 409A of the Code. The Committee may discriminate among Participants and among Awards granted to a Participant in exercising its discretion pursuant to this Section 14.8. All Awards made to Non-Employee Directors shall become fully vested and, in the case of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised, fully exercisable in the event of the occurrence of a Change of Control as of the date of such Change of Control.
      14.9 Other Adjustments. If (i) an Award is accelerated under Sections 7.3(b), 13.7 and/or 14.8 or (ii) a Change of Control occurs (regardless or whether acceleration under Sections 7.3(b), 13.7 and/or 14.8 occurs), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (a) that the Award will expire after a designated period of time after such acceleration or Change of Control, as applicable, to the extent not then exercised, (b) that the Award will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (c) that the Award will be assumed by another party to a transaction giving rise to the acceleration or a party to the Change of Control, (d) that the Award will otherwise be equitably converted or adjusted in connection with such transaction or Change of Control, or (e) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated; provided, however, that, with respect to Awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall not have the authority to accelerate or postpone the timing of payment or settlement of an Award in a manner that would cause such Award to become subject to the interest and penalty provisions under Section 409A of the Code.
      14.10 Performance Goals. In order to preserve the deductibility of an Award under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may determine that any Award granted pursuant to this Plan to a Participant that is or is expected to become a Covered Employee shall be determined solely on the basis of (a) the achievement by the Corporation or Subsidiary of a specified target return, or target growth in return, on equity or assets, (b) the Corporation’s stock price, (c) the Corporation’s total shareholder return (stock price appreciation plus reinvested dividends) relative to a defined comparison group or target over a specific performance period, (d) the achievement by the Corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary, or a business unit of any such entity, of a specified target, or target growth in, net income, revenues, earnings per share, earnings before income and taxes, and earnings before income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or (e) any combination of the goals set forth in (a) through (d) above. If an Award is made on such basis, the Committee shall establish goals prior to the beginning of the period for which such performance goal relates (or such later date as may be permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder), and the Committee has the right for any reason to reduce (but not increase) the Award, notwithstanding the achievement of a specified goal. Any payment of an Award granted with
2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN –
AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE JULY 27, 2006
ANNEX E — PAGE 16


Table of Contents

performance goals shall be conditioned on the written certification of the Committee in each case that the performance goals and any other material conditions were satisfied.
      14.11 Termination of Employment. Whether military, government or other service or other leave of absence shall constitute a termination of employment shall be determined in each case by the Committee at its discretion, and any determination by the Committee shall be final and conclusive. A termination of employment shall not occur (i) in a circumstance in which a Participant transfers from the Corporation to one of its Parents or Subsidiaries, transfers from a Parent or Affiliate to the Corporation, or transfers from one Parent or Affiliate to another Parent or Affiliate, or (ii) in the discretion of the Committee as specified at or prior to such occurrence, in the case of a split-off, spin-off, sale or other disposition of the Participant’s employer from the Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to extend beyond three months from the date a Participant is deemed to be an employee of the Corporation, a Parent or Affiliate for purposes of Section 424(f) of the Code, the Options held by such Participant shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options.
      14.12 Loan Provisions. Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, with the consent of the Committee, the Corporation may make, guarantee or arrange for a loan or loans to a Participant with respect to the exercise of any Option granted under this Plan and/or with respect to the payment of the purchase price, if any, of any Award granted hereunder and/or with respect to the payment by the Participant of any or all federal and/or state income taxes due on account of the granting or exercise of any Award hereunder. The Committee shall have full authority to decide whether to make a loan or loans hereunder and to determine the amount, terms and provisions of any such loan(s), including the interest rate to be charged in respect of any such loan(s), whether the loan(s) are to be made with or without recourse against the borrower, the collateral or other security, if any, securing the repayment of the loan(s), the terms on which the loan(s) are to be repaid and the conditions, if any, under which the loan(s) may be forgiven.
ARTICLE 15
CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE
      15.1 General. Upon or in contemplation of (a) any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a stock split in the form of a stock dividend) or reverse stock split, (b) any merger, combination, consolidation, or other reorganization, (c) any spin-off, split-up, or similar extraordinary dividend distribution in respect of the Stock (whether in the form of securities or property), (d) any exchange of Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or any similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in respect of the Stock, or (e) a sale of all or substantially all the business or assets of the Corporation as an entirety, then the Committee shall, in such manner, to such extent (if any) and at such time as it deems appropriate and equitable in the circumstances:
        (i) proportionately adjust any or all of (A) the number and type of shares of Stock (or other securities) that thereafter may be made the subject of Awards (including the specific share limits, maximums and numbers of shares set forth elsewhere in this Plan), (B) the number, amount and type of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) subject to any or all outstanding Awards, (C) the grant, purchase, or exercise price (which term includes the base price of any SAR or similar right) of any or all outstanding Awards, (D) the securities, cash or other property deliverable upon exercise or payment of any outstanding Awards, or (E) the performance standards applicable to any outstanding Awards, or

        (ii) make provision for a cash payment or for the assumption, substitution or exchange of any or all outstanding share-based Awards or the cash, securities or property deliverable to the holder of any or all outstanding share-based Awards, based upon the distribution or consideration payable to holders of the Stock upon or in respect of such event.
      The Committee may adopt such valuation methodologies for outstanding Awards as it deems reasonable in the event of a cash or property settlement and, in the case of Options, SARs or similar rights, but without limitation on other methodologies, may base such settlement solely upon the excess if any of the per share amount payable upon or in respect of such event over the exercise or base price of the Award. With respect to any Award of an Incentive Stock Option, the Committee may make such an adjustment that causes the option to cease to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option without the consent of the affected Participant.
      In any of such events, the Committee may take such action prior to such event to the extent that the Committee deems the action necessary to permit the Participant to realize the benefits intended to be conveyed with respect to the underlying shares in the same manner as is or will be available to stockholders generally. In the case of any stock split or reverse stock split, if no action is taken by the Committee, the proportionate adjustments contemplated by clause (i) above shall nevertheless be made.
ARTICLE 16
AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
      16.1 Amendment, Modification and Termination. The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that the Board or the Committee may condition any amendment or modification on the approval of shareholders of the Corporation if such approval is necessary or deemed advisable with respect to tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or regulations.
      16.2 Awards Previously Granted. At any time and from time to time, but subject to Section 4.3, the Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award or Award Agreement without approval of the Participant; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the Participant’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment or termination; provided further, however, that the original term of any Option may not be extended. No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Committee shall have broad authority to amend the Plan or any outstanding Award under the Plan without approval of the Participant to the extent necessary or desirable (i) to comply with, or take into account changes in, applicable tax laws, securities laws, accounting rules and other applicable laws, rules and regulations or (ii) to ensure that an Award is not subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code.

ARTICLE 17
GENERAL PROVISIONS
      17.1 No Rights to Awards. No Participant or any eligible participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and neither the Corporation nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants or eligible participants uniformly.
      17.2 No Stockholder Rights. No Award gives the Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation unless and until shares of Stock are in fact issued to such person in connection with the exercise, payment or settlement of such Award.
      17.3 Withholding. The Corporation or any Subsidiary, Parent or Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Corporation, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. With respect to withholding required upon any taxable event under the Plan, the Committee may, at the time the Award is granted or thereafter, require or permit that any such withholding requirement be satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) withholding from the Award shares of Stock or (ii) delivering shares of Stock that are already owned, having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax purposes, all in accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes. The Corporation or any Subsidiary, Parent or Affiliate, as appropriate, shall also have the right to deduct from all cash payments made to a Participant (whether or not such payment is made in connection with an Award) any applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments.
      17.4 No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or status as an officer, director or consultant at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate. In its sole discretion, the Board or the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver shares of Stock with respect to awards hereunder.
      17.5 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate.
      17.6 Indemnification. To the extent allowable under applicable law, each member of the Committee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation from any loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which such member may be a party or in which he may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by such member in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit or proceeding against him; provided such member shall give the Corporation an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such member undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Corporation may have to indemnify them or hold such persons harmless.

      17.7 Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Affiliate unless provided otherwise in such other plan.
      17.8 Expenses; Application of Funds. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Corporation and its Parents or Subsidiaries. The proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of shares of Stock pursuant to Awards will be used for general corporate purposes.
      17.9 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
      17.10 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.
      17.11 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down.
      17.12 Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Corporation to make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. To the extent that Awards under the Plan are awarded to individuals who are domiciled or resident outside of the United States or to persons who are domiciled or resident in the United States but who are subject to the tax laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States, the Committee may adjust the terms of the Awards granted hereunder to such person (i) to comply with the laws of such jurisdiction and (ii) to avoid adverse tax consequences relating to an Award. The authority granted under the previous sentence shall include the discretion for the Committee to adopt, on behalf of the Corporation, one or more sub-plans applicable to separate classes of Participants who are subject to the laws of jurisdictions outside of the United States.
      17.13 Securities Law Restrictions. An Award may not be exercised or settled and no shares of Stock may be issued in connection with an Award unless the issuance of such shares of Stock has been registered under the 1933 Act and qualified under applicable state “blue sky” laws and any applicable foreign securities laws, or the Corporation has determined that an exemption from registration and from qualification under such state “blue sky” laws is available. The Corporation shall be under no obligation to register under the 1933 Act, or any state securities act, any of the shares of Stock issued in connection with the Plan. The shares issued in connection with the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, and the Corporation may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption. The Committee may require each Participant purchasing or acquiring shares of Stock pursuant to an Award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Corporation in writing that such Participant is acquiring the shares of Stock for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any exchange upon which the Stock is then listed, and any applicable securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
      17.14 Satisfaction of Obligations. Subject to applicable law, the Corporation may apply any cash, shares of Stock, securities or other consideration received upon exercise or settlement of an Award to any
