RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT 

This RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the      day of
September, 2015 (the “Grant Date”), between HealthStream, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (together with its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, the “Company”), and Michael Sousa (the “Grantee”). Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the HealthStream, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, which permits the issuance of Restricted Share Units; and 

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has determined that it would
be to the advantage and best interest of the Company and its shareholders to grant an award of the RSUs (as defined below) as a “Restricted Share Unit Award” as defined by and pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and pursuant to the terms
set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Grant of Restricted Share Unit Award.  

1.1 The Company hereby grants to the Grantee an award (“Award”) of 25,000 Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and as otherwise provided in the Plan. Each RSU shall have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share. A bookkeeping account will be maintained by the Company to keep track of the RSUs.

 1.2 The Grantee’s rights with respect to the Award shall remain forfeitable at all times prior to the dates on which the RSUs shall
vest in accordance with Section 2 hereof. This Award may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by Grantee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

2. Vesting and Payment. 

2.1 Vesting. The RSUs subject to this Award shall vest as follows, subject to the time-based vesting condition set forth in the last
sentence of this Section 2.1 and the Catch-Up Provision (as defined in Exhibit A) set forth in Exhibit A (all such vesting dates as set forth below, the “Vesting Dates”): 

(i) Up to 3,750 RSUs (15% of the total RSUs) shall vest on March 15, 2016, based on the extent of the satisfaction of the Performance
Criteria (as defined on Exhibit A) for the period beginning on January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2015, as referenced on Exhibit A; 

(ii) Up to 5,000 RSUs (20% of the total RSUs) shall vest on March 15, 2017, based on the extent of the satisfaction of the Performance
Criteria for the period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending December 31, 2016, as referenced on Exhibit A; 

 (iii) Up to 5,000 RSUs (20% of the total RSUs) shall vest on March 15, 2018, based on the
extent of the satisfaction of the performance criteria for the period beginning on January 1, 2017 and ending December 31, 2017, as referenced on Exhibit A; 

(iv) Up to 5,000 RSUs (20% of the total RSUs) shall vest on March 15, 2019, based on the extent of the satisfaction of the performance
criteria for the period beginning on January 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2018, as referenced on Exhibit A; and 
 (v)
Up to 6,250 RSUs (25% of the total RSUs) shall vest on March 15, 2020, based on the extent of the satisfaction of the performance criteria for the period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending December 31, 2019, as referenced on
Exhibit A. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 2.2
below), this Award shall not become vested as to any additional RSUs following the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason and Grantee shall forfeit any unvested RSUs as of the date of such termination of employment.

 2.2 Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as may otherwise be determined by the Committee, upon the occurrence
of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), this Award shall become vested immediately prior to a Change in Control as to 100% of the RSUs for which the Vesting Date has not yet occurred (it being understood that, in such circumstance, Grantee
will not be entitled to any RSUs that have not vested in respect of any Vesting Dates preceding the occurrence of the Change of Control). 

2.3 Settlement. The Grantee shall be entitled to settlement of the RSUs subject to this Award at the time that such RSUs vest pursuant
to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, as applicable. Such settlement shall be made as promptly as practicable thereafter (but in no event after the fifteenth day following the applicable vesting date, or in the case of a Change in
Control, the date of the occurrence of the Change in Control). Any settlement of RSUs granted pursuant to this Award shall be made in Shares through the issuance to the Grantee of a stock certificate (or evidence such Shares have been registered in
the name of the Grantee with the transfer agent of the Company) for a number of Shares equal to the number of such vested RSUs. The Committee, may in its discretion, provide that the ownership of Shares upon the vesting of the RSUs shall be
evidenced by a “book entry” (i.e., a computerized or manual entry) in the records of the Company or its designated agent in the name of the Grantee who has become vested in such Shares. The Grantee will not be entitled to any dividend
equivalent or voting rights with regard to the RSUs. 

  
 2 

 2.4 Withholding Obligations. Prior to the settlement of any RSUs subject to this Award,
Grantee shall provide (i) full payment (in cash or by check or by a combination thereof) to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation with respect to which the Award or portion thereof shall settle or (ii) indication that the Grantee
elects to tender to the Company Shares owned by the Grantee (or by the Grantee and his or her spouse jointly) and purchased and held for the requisite period of time as may be required to avoid the Company’s incurring an adverse accounting
charge, based on the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the payment date necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation that would otherwise be required to be paid by the Grantee to the Company pursuant to clause (i) of this
Section 2.4, or (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing and unless notice to the contrary is given to the Grantee by the Company, the number of Shares that would otherwise be issued to the Grantee upon settlement of the Award (or
portion thereof) reduced by a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, on the date of such issuance, equal to the payment to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation that would otherwise be required to be made by the Grantee to
the Company pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.4. Any social security calculation or other adjustments discovered after the net Share payment described in Section 2.4(iii) hereof will be settled in cash, not in
Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may satisfy the Grantee’s withholding obligation from the Grantee’s other compensation which may be payable by the Company, including any withholding obligation which may not be satisfied
though the procedures identified in this Section 2.4. Vesting of the Award (or portion thereof) will result in taxable compensation reportable on the Grantee’s W-2 in year of vesting. 

3. No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to confer upon the Grantee
any right to continue service as an officer or employee of the Company. 
 4. Adjustments. The provisions of Section 4.2
and Section 14.3 of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference, and the RSUs are subject to such provisions. Any determination made by the Committee pursuant to such provisions shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan and shall be final and binding for all purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. 
 5. Administration Subject to the Plan. The
Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of (or an electric link to) the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The terms of this Agreement are governed by the terms of the Plan, and in the case of any
inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Grantee, the
Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Award. 

  
 3 

 6. Modification of Agreement. Subject to the restrictions contained in the Plan and
applicable law (including compliance with Section 409A of the Code), the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, the RSU, prospectively or retroactively. 

7. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the
settlement of the RSUs to be made to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement is intended to qualify as a “short-term deferral” pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Regulations and this Agreement shall be interpreted consistently
therewith. However, in any circumstances where the settlement of the RSUs may not so qualify, the Committee shall administer the grant and settlement of such RSUs in strict compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Further, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that this Award constitutes deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (i) no RSU payable upon the Grantee’s termination of service shall be issued, unless
Grantee’s termination of service constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations and (ii) if at the time of a Grantee’s termination of employment with the
Company and all “service recipients” (as defined in the applicable provision of the Treasury Regulations), the Grantee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and the deferral of the commencement of
any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of service is necessary in order to prevent the imposition of any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the
commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Grantee) to the minimum extent necessary to satisfy Section 409A of the Code until the
date that is six months and one day following the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code), if such payment or benefit is payable upon a termination of
employment. Each payment of RSUs constitutes a “separate payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, to the extent that this RSU Agreement
constitutes deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, a “Change in Control” for purposes of this Agreement shall be defined as set forth in Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations. 

8. Recoupment. The RSUs granted hereunder will be subject to recoupment pursuant to, and to the extent provided by, (i) the
terms of the Company’s Compensation Recoupment Policy (as it may be amended from time to time), and (ii) applicable SEC rules and NASDAQ listing requirements adopted pursuant to Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act of 2010, at such time that such SEC rules and NASDAQ listing requirements become effective. 
 9. No Right to
Continued Employment. The grant of the RSU shall not be construed as giving the Grantee the right to be retained in the service of the Company, and the Company may at any time dismiss the Grantee from service, free from any liability or any
claim under the Plan. 

  
 4 

 10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, or becomes, or is deemed to be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or the Award, or would disqualify the Plan or Award under any laws deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the
applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award, and
the remainder of the Plan and Award shall remain in full force and effect. 
 11. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation,
construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof, except to the extent that such laws are preempted by Federal law. 

12. Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to the Company. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Grantee’s legal representatives. All obligations imposed upon the Grantee and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Grantee’s heirs, executors,
administrators and successors. 
 13. Resolution of Disputes. Any dispute or disagreement which may arise under, or as a result of,
or in any way related to, the interpretation, construction or application of this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee. Any determination made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Grantee and the Company for all
purposes. 
 14. Rights as a Shareholder. Grantee shall not have voting or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with
respect to the RSUs. Grantee will obtain voting and other rights as a shareholder of the Company upon the settlement of the RSUs in Shares. 

15. Notices. All notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be deemed to be received if delivered or mailed as provided
for herein to the parties at the following addresses, or to such other address as either party may provide in writing from time to time.

 Exhibit A 

Performance Criteria 
 For
purposes of this Award, performance will be measured over the following five performance periods (the “Performance Periods”): (i) the period beginning on January 1, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2015 (the
“Initial Performance Period”; all Performance Periods other than the Initial Performance Period, “Subsequent Performance Periods”), (ii) the period beginning on January 1, 2016, and ending on
December 31, 2016, (iii) the period beginning on January 1, 2017, and ending on December 31, 2017, (iv) the period beginning on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2018, and (v) the period beginning on
January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2019. For purposes of this Award, the performance criteria referenced herein for any Performance Period is referred to as the “Performance Criteria.” 

For each of the Performance Periods, the Committee shall determine (the “Determination”) the Performance Criteria on an
annual basis, and it is anticipated that the Performance Criteria will be based on one or more annual financial performance targets of the business unit over which Grantee is President (the “Business Unit”), which may include, among other
things, operating income, EBITDA and revenue thresholds of such Business Unit as determined by the Committee in connection with the Determination. Determination of the Performance Criteria for the Initial Performance Period shall be determined by
the Committee at or near the time this Agreement is approved by the Committee. The Determination of the Performance Criteria for each of the Subsequent Performance Periods shall be determined by the Committee within 90 calendar days following the
beginning of each Subsequent Performance Period. 
 If the performance achieved in the applicable Performance Period falls in between the
established goal levels as set determined by the Committee, the percentage of the Award earned by the Grantee will be determined on a directly proportional basis using straight-line interpolation and rounded to the nearest full share. 

In addition, in connection with making the Determination for each corresponding Subsequent Performance Period, the Committee will establish
criteria by which RSUs that have not vested with respect to prior Performance Periods may vest in part or in full on the Vesting Date for such Subsequent Performance Period to the extent that the Performance Criteria for such Subsequent Performance
Period is exceeded by an amount as determined at such time by the Committee in connection with the Determination (the “Catch-Up Provision”).EX-10.3
