         doctors, consumers and patients based on DuPont and its Life Sciences
         partners' products and services.

1.8      The parties agree that the professional site will be free of commercial
         advertising with the exception of the "Lounge" and "Library," whereas
         the consumer site will include advertising, and promote e-commerce.

1.9      The professional site will offer a range of transaction-based services
         for a fee to doctors, and the consumer site will include all elements
         of e-commerce. The parties will share revenue generated by the
         operations of this Agreement as outlined in Schedule 1 to this
         Agreement.

         within 60 days. DuPont will use commercially reasonable efforts to
         engage suitable partners who are representative of the best companies
         in the pharmaceutical industry. WebMD agrees that DuPont and its Life
         Science partners will be exclusive sponsors of segmented human health
         systems, e.g. DuPont for the HIV/AIDS category, Merck for the
         Hypertension category and Zeneca for the Oncology category. Web MD
         agrees that it shall not enter into relationships with Life Science
         companies other than through its relationship with DuPont for the sale
         of advertising and sponsorships on its own website (webmd.com), and
         will consult with DuPont for its input on the Life Science advertising
         and sponsorships appearing on co-branded portal sites.

2.4      DuPont will use its best efforts to ensure that WebMD has timely access
         to the content and resources of relevant DuPont businesses and DuPont's
         Life Sciences partners.

3.       Other Activities
3.1      WebMD and DuPont will develop and conduct live events centered around
         DuPont Life Sciences products and services; involving opinion and
         thought-leader forums as appropriate. In addition, WebMD will devote no
         less than [*]% of its inventory of MSN and Lycos banner impressions
         available under the agreements with MSN and Lycos, both dated March 5,
         1999, to promote the relationship among WebMD, DuPont and their Life
         Sciences partners.

3.2      DuPont and WebMD may enter into a separate alliance for the
         international development and deployment of the WebMD strategy, and
         DuPont will develop a plan for such global expansion.

4.       Management of the Collaboration
4.1      To facilitate the anticipated scope and importance of the alliance
         created by this Agreement, the parties will jointly establish teams to
         execute the terms of this alliance, and these teams will be located to
         facilitate communications, e.g., New York, Wilmington, Atlanta.

4.2      WebMD will reimburse the cost for DuPont to retain mutually agreeable
         external or internal expertise in the area of audits and fraud
         detection/management to ensure that all proper procedures and controls
         are in place for this alliance. The scope and length of the engagements
         will be mutually determined by the parties, and the cost thereof will

         username and password from usage by other authorized users of the
         physician subscriber's account.


4.3      Recognizing the importance of maintaining the strength, market
         presence, and integrity of DuPont's brand, WebMD will consult with
         DuPont on removing or modifying any WebMD service or other offerings

         average of [*] page views per month, over three calendar months, on or
         before the eighteenth month after the Effective Date, to be paid
         straight line over the remaining months of the three-year consumer
         term; provided, however, that DuPont will have a minimum of twenty four
         (24) months over which to pay the $[*], and the revenue splits
         described in Note 4 of Schedule 1 shall extend at least until the end
         of the twenty four(24) month period.

4.6      The parties will meet periodically (and at least once per quarter) to
         discuss possible acquisitions, investment and other areas of

5.3      To the extent legally permitted, WebMD will provide DuPont and the Life
         Sciences partners a royalty-free, transferable, assignable license to
         blinded, aggregated data on physicians and consumers gathered through
         the operations of the collaboration.

6.       Sponsorship of Physician Subscriptions

6.1      In order to eliminate conflict within the existing WebMD direct and
         indirect sales force, DuPont shall sponsor WebMD memberships for a
         total of 6,150,000 member months for physicians in the United States at
         a price of $29.95 per month. The first [*] DuPont-sponsored member
         months will commence in May 1999. The penetration schedule pertaining
         to 1999 is attached hereto as Schedule 2. In the event that WebMD
         offers memberships to a third party at a price of less than $29.95 per
         month, it shall also extend any such lower price to DuPont for the
         unexpired portion of DuPont's subscriptions hereunder. DuPont and WebMD
         will meet quarterly to consider cancellation of physician subscriptions
         which are not being actively used.

6.2      For the period 1st May, 1999 to 31st December, 1999, invoices for
         subscription sponsorships shall be issued by WebMD on the last day of
         each month for that month's active members and payable by DuPont net 30
         days from the date of such invoice. All other revenue and expense items
         for that period shall be invoiced quarterly in arrears payable net 30
         days from the date of such invoices. The parties will meet no later
         January, 2000 to determine mutually agreeable accounting cycles and
         reporting.

6.3      User activity information will be tracked and reported quarterly by
         WebMD to DuPont in a form reasonably satisfactory to DuPont. WebMD and
         DuPont will work together to ensure a high level of subscriber
         utilization.

6.4      For the training of physician subscribers, WebMD shall devote $[*] per
         each physician who is enrolled as a new DuPont-sponsored subscriber of
         WebMD hereunder.

6.5      Within 30 days after the Effective Date, the parties will jointly
         develop a plan for the effective distribution and usage of WebMD
         subscriptions among U.S. physicians. The plan will include, among other
         elements, penetration goals for WebMD subscriptions on a quarterly
         basis beginning after the calendar year 1999, and steps to be taken by
         WebMD to promote active usage of the WebMD service by physician
         subscribers. WebMD will pay DuPont $[*] per active user per month, and
         DuPont will use those funds as incentives to the distribution force.
         DuPont will use reasonable commercial efforts to distribute the
         sponsored subscriptions according to the distribution plan developed
         hereunder.

7.       Warrant Agreement.
         In partial consideration of DuPont's obligation to sponsor physician
         subscriptions to the WebMD service hereunder, WebMD, by separate
         warrant agreement ("the Warrant Agreement"), shall issue to DuPont a
         warrant to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of WebMD common stock,
         Series D, at a purchase price of $20 per share. Such warrants

         shall remain exercisable for a period of five years, and shall contain
         commercially reasonable terms and conditions.

8.       Proprietary Rights and Confidentiality.
8.1      Proprietary Information. "Proprietary Information" means any data or
         information regarding (i) the business operations of a party which is
         not generally known to the public and affords such party a competitive
         advantage, including but not limited to, information regarding its
         products and product development, suppliers, marketing strategies,
         finance, operations, customers, sales, and internal performance
         results; (ii) proprietary software, including but not limited to:
         concepts, designs, documentation, reports, data, specifications, source
         code, object code, flow charts, file record layouts, databases,
         inventions and trade secrets, whether or not patentable or
         copyrightable; and (iii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.2      Ownership and Protection. Each party agrees that it has no interest in
         or right to use the Proprietary Information of the other except in
         accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each party acknowledges
         that it may disclose Proprietary Information to the other in the
         performance of this Agreement. The party receiving the Proprietary
         Information shall (i) maintain it in strict confidence and take all
         reasonable steps to prevent its disclosure to third parties, except to
         the extent necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, in
         which case these confidentiality restrictions shall be imposed upon the
         third parties to whom the disclosures are made; (ii) use at least the
         same degree of care as it uses in maintaining the secrecy of its own
         Proprietary Information (but no less than a reasonable degree of care);
         and (iii) prevent the removal of any proprietary, confidential or
         copyright notices placed on the Proprietary Information.

8.3      Limitation. Neither party shall have any obligation concerning any
         portion of the Proprietary Information of the other which (i) is
         publicly known prior to or after disclosure hereunder other than
         through acts or omissions attributable to the recipient or its
         employees or representatives; (ii) as demonstrated by prior written
         records, is already known to the recipient at the time of disclosure
         hereunder; (iii) is disclosed in good faith to the recipient by a third
         party having a lawful right to do so; or (iv) is the subject of written
         consent of the party which supplied such information authorizing
         disclosure; or (v) is required to be disclosed by the receiving party
         by applicable law or legal process, provided that the receiving party
         shall immediately notify the other party so that it can take steps to
         prevent its disclosure.

8.4      Remedies for Breach. In the event of a breach of this Section 8, the
         parties agree that the non-breaching party may suffer irreparable harm
         and the total amount of monetary damages for any injury to the
         non-breaching party may be impossible to calculate and would therefore
         be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that the
         non-breaching party may be entitled to temporary, preliminary and
         permanent injunctive relief against the breaching party, its officers
         or employees, in addition to such other rights and remedies to which it
         may be entitled at law or in equity.

                  default within ninety (90) days after the non-defaulting party
                  gives written notice of such failure;

         (b)      The other party fails to observe, perform or fulfill any
                  confidentiality obligation imposed hereunder and fails to cure

         commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association
         then in effect. There shall be one arbitrator mutually agreed to by
         both parties; such arbitrator shall have experience in the area of
         controversy. After the hearing, the arbitrator shall decide the
         controversy and render a written decision setting forth the issues
         adjudicated, the resolution thereof, and the reasons for the award. The

         under this Agreement as independent contractors, and the relationship
         established under this Agreement shall not be construed as a
         partnership, joint venture or other form of joint enterprise. Neither

10.2     Comparable Terms. The fees charged DuPont Customers by WebMD for WebMD
         Services and any non-price terms imposed shall not at any time be less
