This Agreement is entered into as of July 27, 2007 (the “Effective Date”) by and between EXTEND HEALTH, INC. (the “Company”), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Executive”).

1. Duties and Scope of Employment.

(a) Position and Duties. As of the Effective Date, Executive will serve as SVP, Corporate Development and Corporate Secretary, of the Company. Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s position within the Company, as shall reasonably be assigned to him by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment Term.”

(b) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive will perform his duties faithfully and to the best of his ability and will devote his full business efforts and time to the Company. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Board (with Executive recusing himself from such vote.)

2. At-Will Employment. The parties agree that Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at-will” employment and may be terminated at any time with or without cause or notice. Executive understands and agrees that neither his job performance nor promotions, commendations, bonuses or the like from the Company give rise to or in any way serve as the basis for modification, amendment, or extension, by implication or otherwise, of his employment with the Company.

3. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company will pay Executive as compensation for his services a base salary at the annualized rate of One Hundred Ninety-Eight Thousand Dollars ($198,000.00) (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and be subject to the usual, required withholding.

(b) Bonus. During the Employment Term, Executive will be eligible to receive a quarterly discretionary performance bonus based upon performance measurement criteria to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board will determine whether these performance goals have been met. This bonus payment will be earned only on the date of payment, and Executive must be employed by the Company on the date of payment.

(c) Stock Option. Executive has been granted certain stock options: (i) a stock option to purchase 56,130 shares of Company common stock granted on May 29, 2004 with a vesting commencement date of May 29, 2004; (ii) a stock option to purchase 40,000 shares of Company common stock granted on January 6, 2007 with a vesting commencement date of January 5, 2007; and (iii) a stock option to purchase 162,569 shares of Company common stock granted on August 17, 2007 with a vesting commencement date of July 27, 2007) (each, an “Option” and together, the “Options”). The Options are subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the stock option plan under which they were granted (the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan or 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, as applicable) (each, an “Option Plan” and together, the “Option Plans”) and the stock option agreements by and between Executive and the Company relating to each Option (the “Option Agreements”), both of which documents are incorporated herein by reference.

(d) Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive will be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans currently and hereafter maintained by the Company of general applicability to other senior executives of the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s group medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, and flexible-spending account plans (collectively, “Benefits”). The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers to its employees at any time.

4. Vacation. Executive will be entitled to paid vacation of eighteen (18) days per year in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy, with the timing and duration of specific vacations mutually and reasonably agreed to by the parties hereto.

5. Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, entertainment or other expenses incurred by Executive in the furtherance of or in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time.

6. Termination of Employment. In the event Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, Executive will be entitled to any (a) unpaid Base Salary accrued up to the effective date of termination; (b) pay for accrued but unused vacation; (c) Benefits as provided under the terms of any Benefits agreements or plans applicable to Executive (d) unreimbursed business expenses required to be reimbursed to Executive, and (e) rights to indemnification Executive may have under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, the Agreement, or separate indemnification agreement, as applicable. In addition, depending on the reason for termination, Executive may be entitled to the amounts and benefits specified in Sections 7 and/or 8.

7. Severance.

(a) Involuntary Termination. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without “Cause” (as defined herein) or the Executive resigns for Good Reason, and Executive signs and does not revoke a standard release of claims with the Company, within two and one-half (2¹/2) months following the end of the calendar year in which the Executive’s

-2-

termination of employment occurs then, subject to Section 12, Executive shall be entitled to continued payments of severance pay (less applicable withholding taxes) at a rate equal to his then-current Base Salary rate for a period of six (6) months from the date of termination, payable periodically according to the Company’s normal payroll practices.

(b) Voluntary Termination; Termination by reason of Death or Disability; Termination for Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates voluntarily by Executive without Good Reason, terminates as a result of Executive’s death or Disability, or is terminated by the Company for Cause, then (i) all vesting of the Option and any additional Company stock options or other equity awards granted to Executive will terminate immediately and all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and (ii) Executive will only be eligible those amounts, Benefits and rights set forth in Section 6. Except as may be provided by Section 8, if Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, all vesting of the Option and any additional Company stock options and other equity awards granted to Executive will terminate immediately.

8. Change of Control Benefits. If within twelve (12) months following a “Change of Control” (as defined below) (i) Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause, or (ii) the Executive resigns for Good Reason, then in addition to any severance benefits to which Executive may be entitled pursuant to Section 8(a), 100% of the shares subject to the then-outstanding Options and any additional then-outstanding stock options granted to Executive to purchase Company common stock (each, an “Additional Option”) shall vest and become exercisable. Thereafter, each Option will continue to be subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Option Plan under which it was granted and applicable Option Agreement and each Additional Option, if any, will continue to be subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the plan under which it was granted and the option agreement between Executive and the Company governing such stock option (together, the “Option Documents”), each of which is incorporated herein by reference. The Option Agreements are amended by this Section 8; to the extent not amended by this Agreement, the Option Agreements remain in full force and effect.

9. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Employee’s termination (other than due to death), then only that portion of the severance payable to Employee pursuant to this Agreement, if any, and any other severance payments or separation benefits which may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits”), which (when considered together) do not exceed the “Section 409A Limit” (as defined below) may be made within the first six (6) months following Employee’s termination of employment in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Any portion of the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits in excess of the Section 409A Limit otherwise due to Employee on or within the six (6) month period following Employee’s termination will accrue during such six (6) month period and will become payable in a lump sum payment on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Employee’s termination of employment. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.

-3-

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following his termination but prior to the six month anniversary of his date of termination, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other. Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply.

10. Definitions.

(i) Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as (i) an act of dishonesty made by Executive in connection with Executive’s responsibilities as an employee, (ii) Executive’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony, (iii) Executive’s gross misconduct, or (iv) Executive’s continued substantial violations of his employment duties (v) the determination by the Board in exercise of its reasonable judgment that Executive has, with full knowledge of the relevant circumstances, committed an act that (x) negatively and materially affects the Company’s business or reputation (including its relationships with its customers, suppliers or employees) and (y) (A) was taken without proper authorization or (B) was taken with proper authorization, but outside the scope of the Executive’s reasonable business judgment; or (vi) a material breach by Executive of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided however, that the conduct contemplated in clauses (iv) and (vi) shall constitute “Cause” only if Executive fails to cure such conduct within 30 days after receipt from the Board of written notice of the conduct which constitutes Cause. Termination by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability shall not be deemed a termination without Cause for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” of the Company is defined as: (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than the Company, a subsidiary of the Company or a Company employee benefit plan, including any trustee of such plan acting as trustee, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or (ii) a change in the composition of the Board occurring within a two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” will mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but will not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the Company); or (iii) the date of the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation that has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity, including any parent or holding company) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity

-4-

outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company; or (v) the date of the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company’s assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not constitute a Change of Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that shall be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

(d) Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means the inability of Executive, due to a physical or mental impairment, to perform the essential functions of Executive’s position, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a total of ninety (90) days in any 360-day period. Whether Executive is disabled will be determined by the Company based on evidence provided by one or more physicians selected by the Company.

(e) Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code, as it has been or may be amended from time to time, and any temporary, proposed or final regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.

(f) Section 409A Limit. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” means the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the Company’s taxable year preceding the Company’s taxable year of Executive’s termination of employment as determined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated.

(g) Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean: (a) a material diminution of Executive’s then current Base Salary; (b) a material change in the geographic location at which Executive must perform his services; provided that in no instance will the relocation of Executive to a facility or a location of 50 miles or less from Executive’s then current office location be deemed material for purposes of this Agreement; or (c) there is a material reduction in Executive’s overall title, responsibilities or authority, or scope of duties, except that the failure of the Company to obtain the same job title for the Executive following a Change in Control as Executive had prior to the Change in Control where the Executive retains a position of materially similar or greater overall scope and responsibility within the acquiring company, taking into appropriate consideration that a nominally lower hierarchical role in a larger company may involve similar or greater scope and responsibility than a nominally higher role in the hierarchy of a smaller company, will not constitute “Good Reason” for purposes of this Agreement. It is understood, however, that before Executive may resign for Good Reason, (A) Executive must provide the Company with written notice within forty-five (45) days of the event that Executive believes constitutes “Good Reason” specifically identifying the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for Good Reason and (B) the Company must have an opportunity within thirty (30) days following delivery of such notice to cure the Good Reason condition. In no instance will a resignation by Executive be deemed to be for Good Reason if it is made more than twenty four (24) months following the initial occurrence of any of the events that otherwise would constitute Good Reason hereunder.

11. Confidential Information. Executive agrees to enter into the Company’s standard At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement attached as Exhibit A (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) upon commencing employment hereunder.

12. Conditional Nature of Severance Payments. The receipt of any severance or other benefits pursuant to Section 7 will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company within two and one-half (2¹/2) months following the end of the calendar year in which the Executive’s termination of employment occurs. No severance or other benefits will be paid or provided until the separation agreement and release of claims becomes effective. Executive further agrees and acknowledges that Executive’s right to receive the severance payments set forth in Section 7 and any Benefits set forth in Section 3(d) (to the extent Executive is otherwise entitled to such payments or Benefits) will be conditioned upon Executive not directly or indirectly engaging in (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, proprietor, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director or otherwise), nor having any ownership interest in or participating in the financing, operation, management or control of, any person, firm, corporation or business that directly competes with the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) or is a customer of the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company), in each case during the six (6) month period in which Employee is eligible to receive severance payments. Upon any breach of this section, all severance payments pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement will immediately cease.

13. Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, executors and legal representatives of Executive upon Executive’s death and (b) any successor of the Company. Any such successor of the Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void.

14. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications called for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, (ii) one (1) day after being sent by a well established commercial overnight service, or (iii) four (4) days after being mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, prepaid and addressed to the parties or their successors at the following addresses, or at such other addresses as the parties may later designate in writing:

16. Arbitration.

(a) General. In consideration of Executive’s employment with the Company, its promise to arbitrate all employment-related disputes, and Executive’s receipt of the compensation, pay raises, and other benefits paid to Executive by the Company, at present and in the future, Executive agrees that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes with anyone (including the Company and any employee, officer, director, shareholder, or benefit plan of the company, in their capacity as such or otherwise), whether brought on an individual, group, or class basis, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from Executive’s employment with the Company or the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, including any breach of this agreement, shall be subject to binding arbitration under the arbitration rules set forth in California Code of Civil procedure section 1280 through 1294.2, including section 1283.05 (the “Rules”), and pursuant to California law. Disputes that Executive agrees to arbitrate, and thereby agrees to waive any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under local, state, or federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Family Rights Act, the California Labor Code, claims of harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination, and any statutory or common law claims. Executive further understands that this agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the Company may have with Executive.

(b) Procedure. Executive agrees that any arbitration will be administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS RULES”). Executive agrees that the arbitrator shall have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication, motions to dismiss and demurrers, and motions for class certification, prior to any arbitration hearing. Executive also agrees that the arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies available under applicable law, and that the arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party, except as prohibited by law. Executive understands that the Company will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the arbitrator or JAMS except that Executive shall pay any filing fees associated with any arbitration that Executive initiates, but

-7-

only so much of the filing fees as Executive would have instead paid had Executive filed a complaint in a court of law. Executive agrees that the arbitrator shall administer and conduct ‘any arbitration in accordance with California law, including the California Code of Civil Procedure, and that the arbitrator shall apply substantive and procedural California law to any dispute or claim, without reference to rules of conflict of law. To the extent that the JAMS RULES conflict with California law, California law shall take precedence. Executive agrees that the decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing. Executive agrees that any arbitration under this agreement shall be conducted in Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County, California.

(c) Remedy. Except as provided by the Rules and this agreement, arbitration shall be the sole, exclusive, and final remedy for any dispute between Executive and the Company. Accordingly, except as provided for by the rules and this agreement, neither Executive nor the Company will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful Company policy, and the arbitrator shall not order or require the Company to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law. Nothing in this agreement or in this provision is intended to waive the provisional relief remedies available under the Rules.

(d) Administrative Relief. Executive understands that this Agreement does not prohibit Executive from pursuing an administrative claim with a local, state, or federal administrative body such as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, or the Workers’ Compensation Board. This Agreement does, however, preclude Executive from pursuing court action regarding any such claim.

(e) Voluntary Nature of Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive is executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by the Company or anyone else. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that Executive has carefully read this agreement and that Executive has asked any questions needed for Executive to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this agreement and fully understand it, including that Executive is waiving executive’s right to a jury trial. Finally, Executive agrees that Executive has been provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of Executive’s choice before signing this Agreement.

17. Integration, This Agreement, together with the Option Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement, represent the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements whether written or oral. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A prior to actual payment to Executive. No waiver, alteration, or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be binding unless in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto.

-8-

18. Tax Withholding. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to withholding of applicable taxes.

Furthermore, I represent and warrant that the inclusion of any Prior Inventions on Exhibit A of this Agreement will not materially affect my ability to perform all obligations under this Agreement. If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate into or use in connection with any product, process, service, technology, or other work by or on behalf of the Company any Prior. Invention, I hereby grant to the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license, with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses, to make, have made, modify, use, import, offer for sale, and sell such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product, process, service, technology, or other work, and to practice any method related thereto.

-2-

inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, designs, discoveries, ideas, trademarks, or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under patent, copyright, or similar laws, which I may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the period of time I am in the employ of the Company (including during my off-duty hours), or with the use of Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or Company Confidential Information, except as provided in Section 3.(e) below (collectively referred to as “Inventions”). I further acknowledge that all original works of authorship that are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of my employment with the Company and that are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. I understand and agree that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market any Inventions is within the Company’s sole discretion and for the Company’s sole benefit, and that no royalty or other consideration will be due to me as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Inventions.

(c) Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate, current, accurate, and authentic written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the term of my employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, electronic files, reports, or any other format that may be specified by the Company. The records are and will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times.

(d) Patent and Copyright Registrations. I agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Inventions and any rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments, and all other instruments that the Company shall deem proper or necessary in order to apply for, register, obtain, maintain, defend, and enforce such rights, and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title, and interest in and to such Inventions and any rights relating thereto, and testifying in a suit or other proceeding relating to such Inventions and any rights relating thereto. I further agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. If the Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure my signature with respect to any Inventions, including, without limitation, to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering such Inventions, then. I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead, to execute and file any papers and oaths, and to do all other lawfully permitted acts with respect to such Inventions with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

(e) Exception to Assignments. I understand that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of Inventions to the Company do not apply to any invention that qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870 (attached hereto as Exhibit B). I will advise the Company promptly in writing of any inventions that I believe meet the criteria in California Labor Code Section 2870 and are not otherwise disclosed on Exhibit A.
