          With respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of WebMD Health Corp. (which we refer to as WHC), has approved the following bonuses to be paid by WHC to persons who were “Named Executive Officers” for purposes of WHC’s Proxy Statement for its 2007 Annual Meeting:
             
Named        
Executive Officer   Title   Bonus
 
Wayne T. Gattinella
  Chief Executive Officer of WHC   $ 135,000  
 
Nan-Kirsten Forte
  Executive Vice President—Consumer Services of WHC   $ 40,000  
 
Anthony Vuolo
  Chief Operating Officer of WHC (and, for part of 2007, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of WHC)   $ 125,000  
 
The above amounts were determined by the Compensation Committee of the WHC Board, in its discretion. In addition, the Compensation Committee of the WHC Board approved the contribution to a Supplemental Bonus Program and Trust (the “Supplemental Bonus Trust”) of the following supplemental bonuses for the listed WHC Named Executive Officers: $135,000 for Mr. Gattinella, $40,000 for Ms. Forte, and $125,000 for Mr. Vuolo. The amounts of the supplemental bonus contributions were determined by the Compensation Committee of the WHC Board, in its discretion. The Supplemental Bonus Trust will distribute the supplemental bonus contributions, together with actual net interest earned on the respective amounts, to the listed WHC Named Executive Officers as promptly as practicable following March 1, 2009 (but in no event later than 21/2 months following such date); provided, however, that in order to receive such payment, the individual must continue to be employed by WHC on March 1, 2009 (unless their separation from employment occurs as a result of death or disability). Contributions to the Supplemental Bonus Trust are also being made by WHC for the benefit of certain other WHC officers and employees, subject to similar terms and conditions as apply to the listed WHC Named Executive Officers.
          HLTH owns approximately 84% of the outstanding common stock of WHC. Messrs. Gattinella and Wygod were each a “Named Executive Officer” for purposes of both HLTH’s and WHC’s Proxy Statements for their 2007 Annual Meetings. Mr. Funston has served as Chief Financial Officer of HLTH since November 2006 and as Chief Financial Officer of WHC since August 2007. Messrs. Wygod and Funston are not receiving 2007 bonuses from WHC and no contributions are being made for their benefit to the Supplemental Bonus Trust.
