Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such actions so that at the Effective Time all Options issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time shall be cancelled.

(v) With respect to any Equityholder, the portion of the Total Merger Consideration receivable by such Equityholder shall be aggregated for all shares of Company Capital Stock and/or all shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Options held by such Equityholder, as applicable, and following such aggregation, any fractional cents shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no fractional shares or units of Evolent Equity shall be issued in connection with an issuance to an Equityholder pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.  If an Equityholder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share or unit of Evolent Equity, then cash shall be paid to such Equityholder in lieu of such fractional share or unit and such fractional share or unit shall be cancelled and voided.

Surrendered Certificates shall forthwith be cancelled by the Surviving Corporation. As of the Effective Time, each Optionholder shall cease to have any rights with respect to any Option and any shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Option that were represented thereby prior to the Effective Time, except the right to receive, upon surrender of such Option and delivery of an Option Cancellation Agreement in accordance with Section 4C , a portion, without interest, in accordance with this Agreement, of the Closing Option Per Share Merger Consideration and the Additional Per Share Merger Consideration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, in the event that an Equityholder has not delivered the Requisite Equityholder Documents prior to the Closing (such Equityholder, a “ Non-Conforming Equityholder ”), such Person shall not be entitled to receive, as part of such Person’s share of the Total Merger Consideration, Equity Consideration and instead such Person shall receive the Alternative Equityholder Consideration.

(x) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Evolent Entities or Merger Sub be obligated to make any payments of Cash Consideration or issuances of Equity Consideration pursuant to this Agreement in excess of the Total Merger Consideration.

(xi) The Evolent Equity to be issued hereunder has not been registered under the Securities Act, such shares of Evolent Equity are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act and such Evolent Equity cannot be resold without registration under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration.

3B. Appraisal Rights. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Capital Stock that is held by a Person who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing or executed an enforceable waiver of appraisal rights to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and, in the case of any Person required to have exercised appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL as of the Effective Time of the Merger in order to preserve such rights, with respect to which appraisal rights under the DGCL have been properly exercised, shall not be converted into the right to receive any portion of the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, the Closing Common Stock Merger Consideration or the Additional Merger Consideration, as the case may be, and shall be converted into the right to receive payment from the Surviving Corporation with respect thereto as provided by the DGCL, unless and until the holder of any such share shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, in which case such share shall thereupon be deemed, as of the Effective Time, to have been cancelled and retired and to have ceased to exist and been converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 4C , a portion, without interest, in accordance with this Agreement, of (i) in the case of holders of Company Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration and (ii) in the case of holders of Company Common Stock, the Closing Common Stock Merger Consideration and the Additional Merger Consideration. From and after the Effective Time, no Shareholder who has demanded appraisal rights shall be entitled to vote his, her or its shares of Company Capital Stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on his, her or its shares (except dividends or other distributions payable to Shareholders of record at a date prior to the Effective Time, or dividends that accrued thereon prior to the Effective Time). Any shares of Company Capital Stock for which appraisal rights have been properly exercised, and not subsequently withdrawn, lost or failed to be perfected, are referred to herein as “ Dissenting Shares .”

3C. Restricted Stock. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending or waiving relevant agreements providing for vesting conditions on shares) that are necessary to vest, immediately prior to the Effective Time, any of the then-

outstanding unvested Company Common Stock issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, all Company Common Stock issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Agreements shall be treated as Company Common Stock for purposes of this Agreement.

3D. Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Evolent Entities, Merger Sub, the Company or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, the Closing Common Stock Merger Consideration, the Additional Merger Consideration, and the Closing Option Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable or issuable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as the Evolent Entities, Merger Sub, the Company or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. The Evolent Entities shall, or, if after Closing, shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, calculate the amounts that are so required to be deducted and withheld under the Code or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Legal Requirements from any amount payable to a Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement, and shall provide written notice to the Representative and the Escrow Agent as soon as reasonably practicable, but, in any event at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such deduction or withholding. The Evolent Entities shall, or, if after Closing, shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use reasonable efforts to work with the Shareholders in obtaining any information or certificates to establish that such deduction or withholding is not necessary (or a reduced rate of withholding or deduction is available). To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by the Evolent Entities, Merger Sub, the Company or the Escrow Agent and paid to the applicable Governmental Entity, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

During the 30 days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement or such longer period as the Representative and Buyer may agree in writing, the Representative and Buyer shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to any matter specified in the Notice of Disagreement, and all such discussions related thereto shall be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule. At the end of such 30-day period, the Representative and Buyer shall submit to an accounting firm with expertise in financial analysis and valuation that is mutually selected by the Representative and Buyer (the “ Accounting Firm ”) for review and resolution of any and all matters (but only such matters) which remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement.

Buyer and the Representative shall instruct the Accounting Firm not to, and the Accounting Firm shall not, assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Representative, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Representative, on the other hand. Buyer and the Representative shall also instruct the Accounting Firm to, and the Accounting Firm shall, make its determination based solely on presentations by Buyer and the Representative that are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review).

The designation of the Representative is coupled with an interest, and, except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, such designation is irrevocable and shall not be affected by the death, incapacity, illness, bankruptcy, dissolution or other inability to act of any of the Equityholders. In the event that a Representative has resigned or been removed, a new Representative shall be appointed by a vote of Majority Holders, such appointment to become effective upon the written acceptance thereof by the new Representative.

The Company, the Evolent Entities and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on the actions taken by the Representative without independent inquiry into the capacity of the Representative to so act. All actions, notices, communications and determinations by the Representative to carry out such functions shall conclusively be deemed to have been authorized by, and shall be binding upon, the Equityholders. Neither the Representative nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall have any liability to the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Equityholders with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Representative in such capacity (or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives in connection therewith), except with respect to the Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Representative will at all times be entitled to rely on any directions received from the Majority Holders; provided , however , that the Representative shall not be required to follow any such direction, and shall be under no obligation to take any action in its capacity as Representative based upon any such direction. The Representative shall be entitled to engage such counsel, experts and other agents and consultants as it shall deem necessary in connection with exercising its powers and performing its function hereunder and (in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Representative) shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such Persons. The Representative (for itself and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives) shall be entitled to full reimbursement for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including fees and disbursements of its counsel, experts and other agents and consultants) incurred by the Representative in such capacity (or any of its officers, directors,

employees, agents or representatives in connection therewith), and to full indemnification against any loss, liability or expenses arising out of actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as Representative (except for those arising out of the Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), including the costs and expenses of investigation and defense of claims, from the Equityholders (including from funds paid to the Representative under this Agreement and/or otherwise received by it in its capacity as Representative, or funds to be distributed to the Equityholders under this Agreement at its direction, pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement (including under the Escrow Agreement)). In furtherance of the foregoing, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Representative shall have the power and authority to set aside and retain additional funds paid to or received by it, or direct payment of additional funds to be paid to the Equityholders as Total Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement at Closing or thereafter to satisfy such obligations (including to establish such reserves as the Representative determines in good faith to be appropriate for such costs and expenses that are not then known or determinable). To the extent that the amount included as Representative Expenses exceeds such expenses, disbursements or advances, the Representative may retain such excess as a fee for the services it provides hereunder. The relationship created herein is not to be construed as a joint venture or any form of partnership between or among the Representative or any Equityholder for any purpose of U.S. federal or state law, including federal or state income Tax purposes. Neither the Representative nor any of its Affiliates owes any fiduciary or other duty to any Equityholder.

(ii) Each of the Evolent Entities (on its behalf and on behalf of their Affiliates), Merger Sub and the Company acknowledges that the Representative is party to this Agreement solely for purposes of serving as the “Representative” hereunder and no claim shall be brought by or on behalf of any of Buyer or any other Evolent Entity (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) against the Representative with respect to this Agreement or the agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or any certificate, opinion, instrument or other documents delivered hereunder (with it being understood that any covenant or agreement of or by the “parties” or “each of the parties” shall not be deemed to require performance by, or be an agreement of, the Representative unless performance by the Representative is expressly provided for in such covenant or the Representative expressly so agrees), except to the extent the Representative is an Equityholder, and then only in the Representative’s capacity as an Equityholder.

11E. Employee Layoffs . For a period of ninety days after the Closing Date, neither Buyer nor the Surviving Corporation shall terminate employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in such numbers as would trigger any liability under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, 29 U.S.C. § 2101, et seq., as amended, or any similar foreign, state, provincial or local law, regulation or ordinance (collectively, “ WARN ”).

As soon as practicable following the Closing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its or its Affiliate’s 401(k) defined contribution plan to accept, at the direction of any Continuing Company Employee, a qualified direct rollover of the participant account (including loans) maintained on behalf of such Continuing Company Employee to Parent’s or its Affiliate’s 401(k) defined contribution plan.

(iii) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee of Company or Surviving Corporation or other service provider any right to continue in the employ or service of Company, Surviving Corporation, Buyer or any Affiliate thereof, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Buyer, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Employee Benefit Plan or any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or

sponsored by Buyer, Company, Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates; or (ii) alter or limit the ability of Buyer, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Employee Benefit Plan or any other compensation or benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Closing Date.

11K. Tax Matters .

(i) Tax Returns

(a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries, at their sole cost and expense, shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns in respect of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are required to be filed (taking into account any extensions) on or before the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, with respect to such items, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries due after the Closing Date (the “ Buyer Prepared Returns ”) and, subject to the right to be indemnified for Tax Losses under Article 12 hereof, timely pay the Taxes due in connection with any Buyer Prepared Return. To the extent that a Buyer Prepared Return relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period, such Tax Return shall be prepared, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, on a basis consistent with existing procedures and practices and accounting methods, and, to the extent applicable and permitted by Legal Requirements, the conventions provided in Section 11K(i)(d) and Section 11K(ii) . At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (or, if earlier, the intended filing date) of any Buyer Prepared Return that relates to income Taxes (and such shorter period as is reasonable with respect to any Buyer Prepared Return that does not relate to income Taxes, but in no event less than five (5) days prior to the due date (or, if earlier, the intended filing date) of such Buyer Prepared Return) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, Buyer shall provide a draft of such Tax Return to the Representative for the Representative’s review and comment. Buyer shall or shall cause the Company or applicable Subsidiary of the Company to incorporate any reasonable comments made by the Representative into the Tax Return actually filed.

(c) Buyer shall not, and shall not allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, amend any Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or otherwise initiate (or agree to) any other Representative Tax Matter without the prior written consent of the Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) With respect to certain Tax matters, the Representative and Buyer agree as follows:

I. To properly make (and have the Company and, as necessary, each of its Subsidiaries make) an election under Revenue Procedure 2011-29 to deduct seventy percent (70%) of any Transaction Tax Deductions that are success-based fees as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.263(a)-5(f) on the IRS Form 1120 for the tax year including the Closing Date.

II. That no election under Code Section 338(g) shall be made with respect to the acquisition of the shares of the Company Capital Stock contemplated by this Agreement.

III. To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, to treat (and have the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company treat) any Transaction Tax Deductions paid or accrued on or before the Closing Date as deductible in a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date).

IV. To treat all indemnification payments under this Agreement as adjustments to the Total Merger Consideration for all relevant Tax purposes.

V. To treat all interest and other earnings on the Escrow Funds as income of Buyer in accordance with the transition rule set forth in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8(h)(2).

VI. To treat the Equity Consideration received by the Shareholders (and any Evolent Equity received as part of the Earnout Consideration) as being received in a transaction governed by Section 721 of the Code.

VII. To treat the payments to the holders of Company Common Stock under Sections 11J , 11K(vi) or 11K(vii) as payments of additional Merger Consideration, provided that the holders of Company Capital Stock and Buyer shall treat such payments as interest to the extent required under Code Section 483 or any other analogous provision of the Code or state or local Tax law, and to treat payments to the holder of the Options under Section 11J , 11K(vi) or 11K(vii) as payments of deductible “wages” or other compensation by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary in the year of the payment to the holder (or in the case of the payment under Section 11J , the year of the release from the account of the Escrow Agent).

Unless otherwise required by a determination of a Governmental Entity that is final (including the execution of an IRS Form 870-AD or successor form), Buyer shall prepare and file all Tax Returns (and cause the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company and each other applicable Affiliate to file all Tax Returns), including timely and properly making all agreed elections, consistently with the agreements set forth in this Section 11K(i)(d) and Buyer shall not take any position (and Buyer shall not allow the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or any of its

other Affiliates to take any position) on any Tax Return during the course of any audit or other legal Proceedings with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns (whether or not a Tax Contest) that is inconsistent with the agreements set forth in this Section 11K(i)(d) .

(ii) Apportionment . To the extent permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, the parties agree to elect (and have the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company elect) to have each Tax year of the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company to end on the Closing Date and, if such election is not permitted or required in a jurisdiction with respect to a specific Tax such that the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is required to file a Tax Return for a Straddle Period, to utilize the following conventions for determining the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date: (a) in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall equal the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and (b) in the case of all other Taxes (including income Taxes, sales Taxes, employment Taxes, and withholding Taxes), the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Company or Subsidiary filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology.” For purposes of clause (b), (1) any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Straddle Period as compared to the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; (2) Transaction Tax Deductions incurred in a Straddle Period shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date; and (3) any Taxes or items of income or gain attributable to a transaction engaged in on the Closing Date (but after the Closing) that is outside the Ordinary Course of Business and is not contemplated by the Transaction Documents shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date.

(iii) Cooperation . Buyer, the Company, and the Representative shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; (ii) assist in any audit or other legal Proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether or not a Tax Contest) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; (iii) make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or of its Subsidiaries (including copies of Tax Returns and related work papers) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; (iv) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax; and (v) reasonably cooperate to determine Buyer’s Tax basis in the Company Capital Stock as of the Effective Time.

(iv) Tax Contests .

(a) If any Governmental Entity issues to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (a) a notice of its intent to audit or conduct another legal Proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or Subsidiary of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or (b) a notice of deficiency for Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, Buyer shall notify the Representative of its receipt of such communication from the

Governmental Entity within ten (10) days of receipt; provided, however, that Buyer’s failure to so notify the Representative shall not limit any of the indemnification obligations of the Equityholders under Section 12A (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such matter). The Company or applicable Subsidiary of the Company shall control any audit or other legal Proceeding in respect of any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company (a “ Tax Contest ”); provided , however , (x) the Representative, at the Equityholders’ sole cost and expense, shall have the right to control any Tax Contest (including the settlement or resolution thereof) to the extent it relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period; (y) the Representative, at the Equityholders’ sole cost and expense, shall have the right to participate in any Tax Contest to the extent it relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; and (z) Buyer shall not, and shall not allow the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, to settle, resolve, or abandon a Tax Contest (whether or not the Representative controls or participates in such Tax Contest) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period without the prior written consent of the Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).

(b) If the Representative elects to control a Tax Contest for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (a) the Representative shall notify Buyer of such intent within ten (10) days of receiving notice of the Tax Contest; (b) Buyer shall promptly complete and execute, and promptly cause the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, or other Buyer Indemnified Party to complete and execute, any powers of attorney or other documents that are necessary (or that the Representative reasonably requests) to allow the Representative to control such Tax Contest; (c) prior to the Representative notifying Buyer of its intent to take control, Buyer shall control, or cause the Company or applicable Subsidiary of the Company to control, such Tax Contest in good faith; and (d) while it controls a Tax Contest, the Representative shall (w) control such Tax Contest in good faith; (x) keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest; (y) allow Buyer, the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to participate in such Tax Contest; and (z) not settle, resolve, or abandon any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Buyer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).

(d) If the Representative does not control or participate in a Tax Contest (whether by election or otherwise) that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (A) Buyer shall control, or cause the Company or applicable Subsidiary to control, such Tax Contest in good faith; and (B) Buyer shall keep the Representative reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest.

(v) Transfer Taxes . All federal, state, local, non-U.S. transfer, excise, sales, use, value added, registration, stamp, recording, property and similar Taxes or fees applicable to, imposed upon, or arising out of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement and all related interest and penalties (collectively, “ Transfer Taxes ”) shall be paid by Buyer.

(vi) Tax Refunds .

(a) Except to the extent included in the computation of the Closing Net Working Capital or included in determining Closing Net Cash (in each case, as finally determined), all refunds of Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as determined in accordance with the same principles provided for in Section 11K(ii) ) (whether in the form of cash received or a credit or offset against Taxes otherwise payable) shall be for the benefit of the Equityholders as directed by the Representative. To the extent that Buyer, the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company receives a refund that is for the benefit of the holders of Company Capital Stock, Buyer shall pay to the Representative for distribution to the holders of Company Capital Stock the amount of such refund (and interest received from the Governmental Entity with respect to such refund), net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in obtaining such refund or credit. The amount due to the holders of Company Capital Stock shall be payable ten (10) days after receipt of the refund from the applicable Governmental Entity (or, if the refund is in the form of credit or offset, ten (10) days after the filing of the Tax Return claiming such credit or offset). To the extent that Buyer, the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company receives a refund that is for the benefit of the holders of Options, such amount shall be paid to the applicable holder of the Option by the Company through the payroll system on the first payroll date following ten (10) days after receipt of the refund from the applicable Governmental Entity (or, if the refund is in the form of credit or offset, the first payroll date following ten (10) days after the filing of the Tax Return claiming such credit or offset). Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take all actions reasonably requested (and all necessary actions incidental to any such request) by the Representative, to timely claim any refunds that will give rise to a payment under this Section 11K(vi) . Such actions shall include, if and to the extent applicable, filing an IRS Form 4466 (and comparable form for state or local Tax purposes) to claim a refund for the overpayment of estimated Taxes as promptly as possible following the closing of the Tax year that includes the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Representative hereby requests that Buyer file, or cause to be filed, an IRS Form 4466 with respect to the Company in accordance with the previous sentence.

(vii) Tax Benefits .

(a) To the extent that Buyer, the Company, any of their Subsidiaries or other Affiliates actually realizes any Tax Benefit (other than a Tax Benefit to the extent giving rise to a payment under Section 11K(vi) or, to the extent actually taken into account in determining Closing Net Cash, as finally determined, a Tax Benefit resulting in an actual reduction in Taxes payable with respect to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as determined in accordance with the same principles provided for in Section 11K(ii) ) as a result of the Transaction Tax Deductions in any taxable year beginning on or before the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, the amount of such Tax Benefit shall be for the benefit of the holders of Company Capital Stock and Options (as directed by the Representative). To the extent that any of Buyer, the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company or any of their Affiliates actually realizes a Tax Benefit that, pursuant to this Section 11K(vii) , is for the benefit of the holders of Company Capital Stock, Buyer shall within ten (10) days of the filing of the Tax Return reflecting such Tax Benefit (or if in the form of a refund, receiving the refund from the applicable Governmental Entity), pay to the Representative for distribution to the holders of Company Capital Stock the amount of such Tax Benefit. To the extent that any of Buyer, the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company or any of their Affiliates actually realizes a Tax Benefit that, pursuant to this Section 11K(vii) , is for the benefit of the holders of Options, such amount shall be paid to the applicable holder of the Option by the Company through the payroll system on the first payroll date following ten (10) days after the

filing of the Tax Return reflecting such Tax Benefit (or if in the form of a refund, receiving the refund from the applicable Governmental Entity).

(b) Within ten (10) days after Buyer files its U.S. federal income Tax Return for a taxable year beginning on or before the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to the Representative a certificate executed by an officer of Buyer setting forth the calculation of the Tax Benefits (including if it is zero dollars) that it realized with respect to any Transaction Tax Deductions for any taxable year ending on or prior to the date of filing such Tax Return (each, a “ Tax Benefit Certificate ”). Buyer will make available to the Representative and its representatives all documents that the Representative reasonably requests as part of its review of the Tax Benefit Certificate.

12F. Defense of Third Party Claims .

(i) If a third party notifies any Buyer Indemnified Party or Equityholder Indemnified Party (an “ Indemnitee ”) of any matter (a “ Third Party Claim ”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the other party under this Article 12 , then the Indemnitee shall notify the Representative (in the case of Buyer Indemnified Parties seeking indemnification) or Buyer (in the case of an Equityholder Indemnified Party seeking indemnification) (each, for purposes

of this Article 12 , an “ Indemnity Administrator ”) of the Third Party Claim in writing promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, after receiving written notice of such Third Party Claim, describing the claim in detail, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof; provided that the failure to so notify the Indemnity Administrator shall not limit the indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

(ii) Any Indemnity Administrator shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim at such Indemnity Administrator’s expense, and at its option shall be entitled to assume, and thereafter conduct, the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnity Administrator assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, such assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose at its own expense. If the Indemnity Administrator assumes the defense of any Proceeding, then the Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnity Administrator in such defense and make available to the Indemnity Administrator, at the Indemnity Administrator’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnitee’s possession or under the Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnity Administrator. The Indemnity Administrator shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or compromise or otherwise acknowledge or admit the validity of any claim or liability unless such entry of judgment, settlement, compromise acknowledgement or admission (i) results in no finding or admission of any violation of any Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any Person, (ii) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect of such claim and (iii) the sole relief provided is limited to monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnity Administrator.

(iii) If the Indemnity Administrator does not assume control of the defense of such claim within thirty (30) days following the Indemnity Administrator’s receipt of notice of such action or claim in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend such claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate; provided that the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnity Administrator (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless there is no finding or admission of any violation of any Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any Person and the sole relief provided is monetary damages.

(iv) Each of the Indemnitee and Indemnity Administrator will (i) keep the other party fully informed in all material respects of the status of such Third Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel and (ii) reasonably cooperate and assist each other and their respective counsel in good faith in the review, investigation and defense of any such claim as they may reasonably require of each other, including, but not limited to, making available their respective personnel, and providing such testimony and access to its books and records in connection therewith, in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim.

(v) To the extent that there is an inconsistency between this Section 12F and Section 11K(iv) as it relates to a Tax Contest or any other matters relating to Taxes, the provisions of Section 11K(iv) shall govern.

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) an Indemnitee reasonably determines that it is likely that a Third Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates in any material respect other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) the Indemnity Administrator is also a Person against whom the Third Party Claim is made and the Indemnitee reasonably determines that joint representation would be inappropriate, (iii) the Indemnity Administrator fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnitee of its financial capacity to defend such Third Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim, (iv) the Third Party Claim involves a Material Customer or Material Provider, or (v) the aggregate amount of potential Losses relating to such Third Party Claim could, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, exceed the then-unused portion of the Cap (in the event that the limitation of the Cap applies to such Third Party Claim), the Indemnitee may, by notice to the Indemnity Administrator, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, but the Indemnity Administrator will not be bound by any determination of any Third Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(vii) If the Indemnity Administrator undertakes the defense of a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense but shall not be entitled to any reimbursement with respect thereto; provided , however , that if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee, (i) there are legal defenses available to the Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitee or (ii) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the indemnifying party that cannot be waived, the indemnifying party shall be liable for (as Losses hereunder) the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one separate counsel to the Indemnitee.

12G. Direct Losses . If, after the Closing, Indemnitee incurs a Loss for which it is entitled to indemnification, other than as a result of a Third Party Claim, Indemnitee shall provide written notice of such direct Losses to the Indemnity Administrator within the applicable time limits set forth in Section 12E . The notice shall describe the claim or matter in reasonable detail (to the extent known), including the amount of such Losses (estimated if appropriate) that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee, and the method of computation thereof, and contain a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises. If the Indemnity Administrator does not agree to the amount of Losses claimed by the Indemnitee and the parties are not able to resolve such matter, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to submit such indemnification claim to any court or authority of competent jurisdiction described in Section 13L for determination of the amount of Losses, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement.

12H. Determination of Loss Amount .

(i) The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 12A or Section 12B shall be calculated net of (a) any insurance proceeds actually received covering any of the Loss (excluding the R&W Policy) that is the subject to the claim for indemnity, less any costs incurred in recovering such proceeds, (b) any amounts recovered from other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement), less any costs, and (c) any Tax Benefits actually realized by the party being indemnified on account of such Loss in the Tax year in which such Loss was incurred (or the immediately succeeding Tax year). In the event that an insurance or other recovery is received by any Indemnitee or a Tax Benefit is realized by an Indemnitee, in each case with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the amount of the insurance or other recovery or Tax

Benefit, less any costs incurred in recovering such amounts, shall be made promptly to the Indemnity Administrator that made or directed such indemnification payments to such Indemnitee.

(ii) For purposes of this Article 12 and for determining (a) whether a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty in this Agreement, and (b) the amount of Losses arising out of, relating to or resulting from a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement, all “Company Material Adverse Effect”, “in all material respects”, “Buyer Material Adverse Effect” and other materiality qualifications (other than to the extent such qualifications are used in Section 7E(i) , the first sentence of Section 7E(iii) , Section 7F(i) or the definitions of Company Material Contracts, Material Customers or Material Providers) (collectively, “ Materiality Qualifiers ”) shall be ignored and each such representation and warranty shall be read and interpreted without regard to any Materiality Qualifier.

(iii) The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Losses to the extent accounted for in the determination of the Closing Statement or the Closing Balance Sheet, as finally determined hereunder, or the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Net Cash, as finally determined hereunder.

(iv) The right to indemnification, reimbursement, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) about, the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.

12I. Exclusive Remedy; Escrow Account .

(i) Except for the right of a party hereto to pursue specific performance pursuant to Section 13R (and without limitation of any such right) or for a claim for Losses described in Section 12C(v) or Section 12D(iii) , the parties acknowledge and agree that, after the Closing, the indemnification provisions in this Article 12 and the R&W Policy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Affiliates against each other with respect to any claim related to or arising from this Agreement, the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the performance by the parties of their respective obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided , however , that nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or restrict any Person who is a party to any agreement entered at Closing (other than the Escrow Agreement, the remedies under which will be governed by the terms hereof and thereof) to obtain Losses or any other legal or equitable relief from any other Person who is a party to any such agreement in connection with the breach of such agreement by such other Person pursuant to the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the limitations and restrictions (including time for asserting claims) on indemnification set forth in this Article 12 shall affect the rights of Buyer Indemnified Parties to make claims under the R&W Policy, which rights shall be governed solely thereby.

(ii) On the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing, to the extent any funds remain in the Escrow Account and there is no notice of a claim from any Buyer Indemnified Party which was timely delivered under Sections 12F or 12G which claim has not yet been resolved, then title to any funds remaining in the Escrow Account shall automatically transfer to the Representative (for the benefit of the Equityholders) and Buyer and the Representative shall

jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release all remaining funds to, or at the direction of, the Representative for credit to the Equityholders.

12J. R&W Policy . The Evolent Entities covenant and agree that the R&W Policy will, except for a claim for Losses described in Section 12C(v) , expressly exclude any right of subrogation absent fraud against the Equityholders under this Agreement. Each of the parties shall reasonably cooperate with the other and the R&W Insurer, and with the terms and requirements of the R&W Policy, with respect to resolving any claim or Loss with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder. Following the date hereof, Buyer shall not amend, terminate or otherwise modify the R&W Policy in a manner that would adversely modify the coverage thereunder. Nothing in this Section 12J shall preclude the Buyer from entering into a reasonable settlement with the R&W Insurer of a disputed claim for coverage under the R&W Policy.
