Other Arrangements with HLTH
 
On January 31, 2006, HLTH entered into agreements with WebMD in which both parties agreed to support each other’s product development and marketing efforts regarding specified product lines. These agreements were amended, in connection with HLTH’s sales of Emdeon Practice Services (“EPS”) and of a 52% interest in Emdeon Business Services (“EBS”), to separate the provisions applicable to each of HLTH, EPS and EBS and to make certain modifications in the relationships between WebMD and each of those

parties. In addition, in connection with the VIPS Sale, the remaining provisions applicable to HLTH and ViPS were terminated. In an amended agreement with WebMD, EPS agreed to continue its strategic relationship with WebMD following the sale and agreed to integrate WebMD’s personal health record with the clinical products of EPS, including the electronic medical record, to allow import of data from one to the other, subject to applicable law and privacy and security requirements. In an amended agreement with WebMD, EBS agreed to continue its strategic relationship with WebMD and to market WebMD’s online decision-support platform and tools that support consumer directed health plans and health savings accounts to its payer customers for integration into their consumer directed health offerings. In addition, pursuant to a data license agreement, EBS agreed to license certain de-identified data to HLTH and its subsidiaries for use in the development and commercialization of certain applications that use clinical information, including consumer decision-support applications. As noted above under “— Termination Agreement,” HLTH assigned the data license agreement to WebMD in connection with the termination of the merger agreement with WebMD.
 
HLTH has in the past entered into, and may from time to time in the future enter into, ordinary course business arrangements with WebMD or its subsidiaries that are not material to either company and may not be the subject of any ongoing contract. For example, from time to time, subsidiaries of HLTH have advertised some of their products and services on WebMD’s physician portals.
