      WHEREAS , WebMD made an initial public offering (the “ Offering ”) of its stock as contemplated by the Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2005, as amended;

      WHEREAS , HLTH, WebMD, the WebMD Domestic Subsidiaries and other members of the HLTH Group desire to agree upon a method for determining the financial consequences to each party resulting from the filing of a consolidated, combined or unitary income tax return; and

      NOW , THEREFORE , in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS.

          (ii) “ Consolidated Federal Tax Liability ” shall mean, with respect to any taxable year, the Regular Tax and the Alternative Minimum Tax actually paid by the HLTH Group with respect to such taxable year (without taking into account any carry-backs of tax attributes from later taxable years).

          (iii) “ Federal Tax Liability ” of the WebMD Subgroup shall mean, with respect to any taxable year, an amount equal to the Consolidated Federal Tax Liability multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the WebMD Subgroup’s Separate Return Tax Liability, and the denominator is the

          (iv) “ WebMD Domestic Subsidiary ” shall mean any WebMD Subsidiary that would be eligible, from time to time, to join with WebMD in the filing of a Consolidated Federal Tax Return, with WebMD as the common parent corporation, if WebMD and such WebMD Subsidiary were not members of the HLTH Group.

          (v) “ WebMD Subgroup ” shall be comprised of WebMD and the WebMD Subsidiaries.

          (vi) “ WebMD Subsidiary ” shall mean any corporation (as determined for tax purposes) that is controlled, directly or indirectly, by WebMD. For this purpose, “control” shall mean ownership of 50% or more of the stock or other equity interests in such corporations in terms of voting power or equity value.

          (vii) “ WebMD Tax Package ” means all information requested by HLTH, in a format determined by HLTH, in connection with a Consolidated Federal Tax Return of the HLTH Group or a State, Local or Foreign Tax Return that includes any member of the HLTH SubGroup and any member of the WebMD SubGroup.

          (ix) “ Separate Return Tax Liability ” of the HLTH Subgroup or WebMD Subgroup shall mean, with respect to any taxable year, the liability for Regular Tax and Alternative Minimum Tax for such taxable year, and any interest, penalties, and other additions to such taxes for such taxable year, computed as if the HLTH Subgroup or the WebMD Subgroup, as the case may be, was not part of the HLTH Group for such taxable year, but rather was a separate affiliated group of corporations filing a Consolidated Federal Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code. Such computation shall be made (A) without regard to the income, deductions (including net operating loss and capital loss deductions) and credits in any year of any member of the HLTH Group which is not a member of the relevant Subgroup, (B) with regard to net operating loss and capital loss carry-forwards from earlier years (but not carry-backs from later years except to the extent permitted by Section 2(g)) of the members of the relevant Subgroup; provided , however that no account shall be taken of any loss carryforward or other tax attribute of the WebMD Subgroup to the extent the WebMD Subgroup has previously received payment therefore pursuant to Section 2(iv) of this Agreement as it existed prior to its amendment pursuant to this Second Amended and Restated Tax Sharing Agreement, (C) with regard to the minimum tax credits of the relevant Subgroup, (D) as though the highest rate of tax specified in Section 11(b) of the Code were the only Regular Tax rate applicable to the relevant Subgroup and (E) consistent with the past practices of the HLTH Group; provided , however , that such computation can depart from the past practices of the HLTH Group in the event of a change in applicable Tax law or if HLTH is advised by its accountants or counsel that adherence to past practices would have an adverse effect on the HLTH Group.

The WebMD Subgroup Estimated Payment shall be computed in accordance with the past practices of the HLTH Group except in the event of a change in applicable Tax law, or if HLTH is advised by its accountants or counsel that adherence to past practices would have an adverse effect on the HLTH Group.

     (d)  Payment of Taxes at Year-End .

On or before the date which is three business days prior to the last date prescribed by law for payment of the Consolidated Federal Tax Liability of the HLTH Group for such year, WebMD shall pay to HLTH an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the WebMD Subgroup’s Federal Tax Liability over the total WebMD Subgroup Estimated Payments made by WebMD with respect to such taxable year.

A similar rule shall apply to the extent the amount of the WebMD Subgroup’s Federal Tax Liability is adjusted at or prior to the time at which the Consolidated Federal Tax Return for such year is filed.

Reg. Section 1.1502-21, over (B) the amount of the loss carryforwards of the WebMD Subgroup that would have been absorbed in the computation of the Consolidated Federal Tax Liability if such Extraordinary Gains had not been incurred by the HLTH Subgroup. Such payment shall be in full reimbursement for the tax savings (federal and state) attributable to the excess amount of loss carryf
