The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Board deems reliable;

                  (2)      If the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a

Common Stock on the date of such determination, as reported in The Wall Street
Journal or such other source as the Board deems reliable;

                  (3)      In the absence of an established market for the
Common Stock, the Fair Market Value thereof shall be determined in good faith by
the Board; or

                  (4)      For purposes of the Enrollment Date of the first
Offering Period under the Plan, the Fair Market Value shall be the initial price

Enrollment Date shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

         (b)      Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no
Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) to the extent that,
immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other person whose stock
would be attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code)
would own capital stock of the Company and/or hold outstanding options to
purchase such stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined
voting power or value of all classes of the capital stock of the Company or of
any Subsidiary, or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to purchase stock

         5.       PARTICIPATION.

         (a)      An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by
completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the form
of Exhibit A to this Plan and filing it with the Company's payroll office prior
to the applicable Enrollment Date.

         (b)      Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the
first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll in
the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner
terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

         6.       PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS.

         (a)      At the time a participant files his or her subscription
agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day
during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding 15% of the Compensation
which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period.

         (b)      All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be
credited to his or her account under the Plan and shall be withheld in whole
percentages only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such
account.

         (c)      A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the
Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof. A participant may not otherwise increase
or decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions during an Offering Period.
A participant's subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive
Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.

         (d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to
comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a
participant's payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any
time during an Offering Period. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate
provided in such participant's subscription agreement at the beginning of the
first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year,
unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

         (e)      At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or
at the time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the Plan is
disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company's
federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon
the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time,
the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participant's
compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding
obligations, including any withholding required to make available


                                       4
<PAGE>

to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early
disposition of Common Stock by the Employee.

         7.       GRANT OF OPTION. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering
Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be
granted an option to purchase on the Exercise Date of such Offering Period (at
the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock determined by dividing such Employee's payroll deductions accumulated
prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the participant's account as of the
Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall
an Employee be permitted to purchase during each Offering Period more than 5,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to
Section 19), and provided further that such purchase shall be subject to the
limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 12 hereof. The Board may, for future
Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum
number of shares of the Company's Common Stock an Employee may purchase during
each Offering Period. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section
8 hereof, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof.
The option shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

         8.       EXERCISE OF OPTION.

         (a)      Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in
Section 10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of shares shall be
exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full and
fractional shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at
the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or
her account. Any monies left over in a participant's account after the Exercise
Date shall be returned to the participant. During a participant's lifetime, a
participant's option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or
her.

         (b)      If the Board determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the
number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed
(i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the
Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the
number of shares available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the
Board may in its sole discretion (x) provide that the Company shall make a pro
rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such
Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall
be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable
among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such
Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (y) provide
that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available for
purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform
a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole
discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase
Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and terminate any or all Offering Periods
then in effect pursuant to Section 20 hereof. The Company may make pro rata
allocation of the shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable
Offering


                                       5
<PAGE>

Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of
additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company's stockholders
subsequent to such Enrollment Date.

         9.       BROKERAGE ACCOUNT; DELIVERY OF STOCK. The Company may arrange
for an account to be established for each Plan participant at a third-party
brokerage firm to be designated from time to time by the Board. As promptly as
practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares occurs, the
Company shall, at its sole discretion, either (i) arrange for the purchased
shares to be credited to the participant's brokerage account in book-entry form,
or (ii) arrange for the delivery to each participant, as appropriate, of a
certificate representing the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her
option. If shares are credited to a brokerage account, the participant may at
any time request delivery of one or more stock certificates representing such
shares. Such certificates shall be registered in the name of the participant or,
if the participant so indicates in his or her subscription agreement, in the
participant's name jointly with his or her spouse. The Company shall pay the
cost associated with the establishment of such brokerage accounts and shall pay
all brokerage fees and commissions associated with the initial deposit into such
account of shares purchased pursuant to the Plan and with the withdrawal of
stock certificates from such account. Any special features that a participate
may elect to apply with respect to his or her brokerage account which are not
made available to all participants shall be negotiated between the participant
and the broker and shall be at the sole cost of the participant.

         10.      WITHDRAWAL.

         (a)      A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the
payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise
his or her option under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the
Company in the form of Exhibit B to this Plan. All of the participant's payroll
deductions credited to his or her account shall be paid to such participant
promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such participant's option for
the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll
deductions for the purchase of shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If
a participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not
resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant
delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.

         (b)      A participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not
have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan
which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods
which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the
participant withdraws.

         11.      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

         Upon a participant's ceasing to be an Employee for any reason, he or
she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll
deductions credited to such participant's account during the Offering Period but
not yet used to exercise the


                                       6
<PAGE>

option shall be returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her
death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15 hereof, and
such participant's option shall be automatically terminated. The preceding
sentence notwithstanding, a participant who receives payment in lieu of notice
of termination of employment shall be treated as continuing to be an Employee
for the participant's customary number of hours per week of employment during
the period in which the participant is subject to such payment in lieu of
notice.

         12.      INTEREST. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions
of a participant in the Plan.

         13.      STOCK.

         (a)      Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the
Company as provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan
shall be 3,000,000 shares, plus an annual increase to be added on the first day
of the Company's fiscal year beginning in 2001 equal to the lesser of (i)
1,500,000 shares, (ii) 0.5% of the outstanding shares on such date or (iii) a
lesser amount determined by the Board.

         (b)      The participant shall have no interest or voting right in
shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised.

         14.      ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or
a committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board. The Board or its
committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe,
interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to
adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding, decision and
determination made by the Board or its committee shall, to the full extent
permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.

         15.      DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.

         (a)      A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary
who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant's account
under the Plan in the event of such participant's death subsequent to an
Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such
participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant may file a
written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the
participant's account under the Plan in the event of such participant's death
prior to exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the designated
beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such
designation to be effective.

         (b)      Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the
participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a
participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the
Plan who is living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall
deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate
of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has


                                       7
<PAGE>

been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its
discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or
more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or
relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may
designate.

         16.      TRANSFERABILITY. Neither payroll deductions credited to a
participant's account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or
to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant. Any such
attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without
effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw
funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

         17.      USE OF FUNDS. All payroll deductions received or held by the
Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and
the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

         18.      REPORTS. Individual accounts shall be maintained for each
participant in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to participating
Employees at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of
payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the
remaining cash balance, if any.

         19.      ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, DISSOLUTION,
LIQUIDATION, MERGER OR ASSET SALE.

         (a)      Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by
the stockholders of the Company, the Reserves, the maximum number of shares each
participant may purchase each Offering Period (pursuant to Section 7), as well
as the price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each
option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common
Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration". Such adjustment shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to,
the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.

         (b)      Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress
shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "NEW EXERCISE DATE"), and
shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
dissolution or liquidation, unless provided


                                       8
<PAGE>

otherwise by the Board. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the
Company's proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Board shall notify each
participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New
Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant's option has been
changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant's option shall be
exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the
participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10
hereof.

         (c)      Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, each outstanding option shall be assumed or an
equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or
Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor
corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, any Offering Period
then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "NEW
EXERCISE DATE") and any Offering Period then in progress shall end on the New
Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company's
proposed sale or merger. The Board shall notify each participant in writing, at
least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise
Date for the participant's option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and
that the participant's option shall be exercised automatically on the New
Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the
Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.

         20.      AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.

         (a)      The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time and for
any reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 19 hereof,
no such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that an
Offering Period may be terminated by the Board of Directors on any Exercise Date
if the Board determines that the termination of the Offering Period or the Plan
is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Except as provided
in Section 19 and this Section 20 hereof, no amendment may make any change in
any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any
participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or
any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law, regulation or stock
exchange rule), the Company shall obtain stockholder approval in such a manner
and to such a degree as required.

         (b)      Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any
participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely affected," the
Board (or its committee) shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit
the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering
Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a
currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the
amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in
the Company's processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish
reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting
procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common


                                       9
<PAGE>

Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the
participant's Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures
as the Board (or its committee) determines in its sole discretion advisable
which are consistent with the Plan.

         (c)      In the event the Board determines that the ongoing operation
of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the
Board may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify
or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including,
but not limited to:

                  (1)      altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period
including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase
Price;

                  (2)      shortening any Offering Period so that Offering
Period ends on a new Exercise Date, including an Offering Period underway at the
time of the Board action; and

                  (3)      allocating shares.

         Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval
or the consent of any Plan participants.

         21.      NOTICES. All notices or other communications by a participant
to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been
duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location,
or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

         22.      CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be issued
with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance
and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable
provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements
of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be
further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

         As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require
the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any
such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

         23.      TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier
to occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the
stockholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10)
years unless sooner terminated under Section 20 hereof.

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                        1998 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

_____ Original Application                           Enrollment Date: _________
_____ Change in Payroll Deduction Rate
_____ Change of Beneficiary(ies)

1.       _________________________________ hereby elects to participate in the
         WebMD Corporation Amended and Restated 1998 Employee Stock Purchase
         Plan (the "EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN") and subscribes to purchase
         shares of the Company's Common Stock in accordance with this
         Subscription Agreement and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

2.       I hereby authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in the amount
         of ____% of my Compensation on each payday (not to exceed [__]%) during
         the Offering Period in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase
         Plan. (Please note that no fractional percentages are permitted.)

3.       I understand that said payroll deductions shall be accumulated for the
         purchase of shares of Common Stock at the applicable Purchase Price
         determined in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. I
         understand that if I do not withdraw from an Offering Period, any
         accumulated payroll deductions will be used to automatically exercise
         my option.

4.       I have received a copy of the complete Employee Stock Purchase Plan. I
         understand that my participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is
         in all respects subject to the terms of the Plan. I understand that my
         ability to exercise the option under this Subscription Agreement is
         subject to stockholder approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

5.       Shares purchased for me under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan should
         be issued or registered in the name(s) of (Employee or Employee and
         Spouse only): ____________________________________.

6.       I understand that if I dispose of any shares received by me pursuant to
         the Plan within 2 years after the Enrollment Date (the first day of the
         Offering Period during which I


<PAGE>

         purchased such shares) or one year after the Exercise Date, I will be
         treated for federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary
         income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal to the excess
         of the fair market value of the shares at the time such shares were
         purchased by me over the price which I paid for the shares. I HEREBY
         AGREE TO NOTIFY THE COMPANY IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF
         ANY DISPOSITION OF MY SHARES AND I WILL MAKE ADEQUATE PROVISION FOR
         FEDERAL, STATE OR OTHER TAX WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS, IF ANY, WHICH
         ARISE UPON THE DISPOSITION OF THE COMMON STOCK. The Company may, but
         will not be obligated to, withhold from my compensation the amount
         necessary to meet any applicable withholding obligation including any
         withholding necessary to make available to the Company any tax
         deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of
         Common Stock by me. If I dispose of such shares at any time after the
         expiration of the 2-year and 1-year holding periods, I understand that
         I will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received
         income only at the time of such disposition, and that such income will
         be taxed as ordinary income only to the extent of an amount equal to
         the lesser of (1) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at
         the time of such disposition over the purchase price which I paid for
         the shares, or (2) 15% of the fair market value of the shares on the
         first day of the Offering Period. The remainder of the gain, if any,
         recognized on such disposition will be taxed as capital gain.

7.       I hereby agree to be bound by the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase
         Plan. The effectiveness of this Subscription Agreement is dependent
         upon my eligibility to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

8.       In the event of my death, I hereby designate the following as my
         beneficiary(ies) to receive all payments and shares due me under the
         Employee Stock Purchase Plan:
