You will be eligible for a prorated 2019 bonus award based on your date of hire. Payout is contingent on approval by the Compensation & Talent Committee. The percentage amount, as stated above, may change in future years. Your award will be based on the company funding of the bonus pool and your individual performance. Bonus awards are not guaranteed.

•12-23 months - Repayment of 50% of the signing bonus

As a regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in Company sponsored benefits generally available to regular employees. You shall also be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies for all documented reasonable business expenses that are incurred in connection with carrying out your duties for the Company and in compliance with Company policy. At Castlight we do not have a formal paid vacation, personal and sick-time policy. Instead, we have a flexible time-off policy pursuant to which we encourage you to take time-off and to work with your manager on the timing.
Subject to the approval of the Company’s Compensation and Talent Committee of the Board of Directors, you will be awarded an equity grant equivalent to $2.1M in value. 50% of value will be delivered in Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and 50% will be delivered in stock options. The size of these equity awards will be calculated using the closing price of Class B common stock on the date the grants are issued at the next regularly-scheduled meeting of the Compensation and Talent Committee of the Board of Directors, which is currently proposed to be November 15, 2019. The option (the “Option’) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of such shares on the grant date. The RSU and option awards will be subject to a four-year vesting schedule with 25% of the RSUs and options vesting on November 16, 2020 (one year from the grant date), and the remainder vesting quarterly thereafter, provided you remain in continuous service on each applicable vesting date, as set forth in the applicable equity award agreements. On each vesting date, the shares subject to the RSUs, which are vested, will be issued within 30 days following the applicable vesting date. Upon receipt of the

shares by you upon settlement of the RSUs, you will be subject to tax based on the fair market value of such shares on the date of settlement and the Company must satisfy its tax withholding obligations in a manner satisfactory to the Company before any shares are issued to you. The award of equity by the Company is subject to the Board of Directors approval and this promise to recommend such approval is not a promise of compensation and is not intended to create any obligations on the part of the Company. The equity awards will be governed by the terms of the Plan and your equity award agreements, both of which will be provided to you upon approval of such award by the Company’s Compensation and Talent Committee of the Board of Directors.
Your employment pursuant to this offer is contingent upon you providing the Company with the legally required proof of your identity and authorization to work in the United States, upon your signing and agreeing to be bound by the enclosed At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement, and upon completion of a basic background check as required by the Company to protect privacy of sensitive user information.

As a result, either you or the Company is free to terminate your employment relationship at any time for any reason, with or without cause. This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time-to-time, the “at-will” nature of your employment may not be changed except by an express writing signed and dated by both you and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
