Dear Doug,

This letter will confirm the terms of the amendment to your employment letter (the “Offer Letter”) with WebMD Health Corp. (the “Company” or “WebMD”) dated as of July 14, 2005 and as amended as of December 14, 2008 and July 23, 2011. The Offer Letter is amended, effective as of the date hereof, as follows:

1. Your base salary referred to in the first sentence of Section 2(a) shall be changed to $350,000, effective March 11, 2013.

2. Section 2(b) of the Offer Letter is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“(b)(i) You will be entitled to receive an annual bonus of $200,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Bonus”), payable as follows: (A) $40,000 of the 2012 Bonus will be paid at the time that bonuses are paid to other executives of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012, so long as you are employed on such date, and (B) subject to the terms of the Company’s Supplemental Bonus Plan and Section 9 below, an amount equal to $160,000 will be contributed into the Supplemental Bonus Trust.

(b)(ii) You will be eligible for an annual bonus for the year ended December 31, 2013, the target of which will be 43% of your base salary, with the opportunity to earn a total bonus of up to 86% of your bonus target (i.e., $300,000) (the “2013 Bonus”), as follows:

(A) Up to $150,000 will be payable based upon achievement of the 2013 revenue and earnings targets approved by the Compensation Committee, with input from the Board of Directors. Sixty percent (60%) of the $150,000 (i.e., $90,000) will be allocated to the achievement of the approved revenue target and forty percent (40%) of the $150,000 (i.e., $60,000) will be allocated to achievement of the approved earnings target. The Compensation Committee will also establish the amount of the payment associated with the levels of achievement within the approved revenue and earnings ranges.

(B) Up to $150,000 will be payable based upon an assessment of your individual performance goals provided to you (the “Performance Goals”). Any 2013 Bonus will be paid at the time that bonuses are paid to other executives of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 (to the extent applicable, such amount to be paid from the Supplemental Bonus Trust), so long as you are employed on the payment date, except as set forth in Section 9.

(b)(iii) For fiscal years subsequent to the year ending December 31, 2013, you will be eligible for an annual bonus, the target of which will be 43% of your base salary, but which amount will be determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee or its designee.


(b)(iv) The determination as to whether the financial goals in Section 2(b)(ii)(A) and the Performance Goals in Section 2(b)(ii)(B) have been attained shall be made by the CEO and Compensation Committee in their sole discretion. Adjustments shall be made by the Compensation Committee to the goals in its discretion to reflect the effect of acquisitions/divestitures and any other circumstances. The financial goals in Section 2(b)(ii)(A) will be established within sixty (60) days of the date of this Agreement for the 2013 year.”
