The Optionholder Consideration shall be paid to such Company Optionholder following receipt by the Company of a duly executed Option Cancellation Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable or deliverable to any Company Optionholder pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law. Any amounts required to be withheld with respect to the Optionholder Share Consideration shall reduce the amount of Optionholder Cash Consideration that would otherwise be payable to the Optionholder. If the Company so withholds such amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company Optionholders in respect of which the Company made such deduction and withholding.

2.7Mechanism of Payment.

(a)At the Effective Time, Purchaser or Merger Sub shall deliver, or Purchaser or Merger Sub shall otherwise take all steps necessary to cause to be delivered, by wire transfer of immediately available funds (x) the aggregate Stockholder Cash Payments (as determined as of the Effective Time) to the Company Stockholders, for exchange in accordance with this Article II and (y) the aggregate Optionholder Cash Payments (as determined as of the Effective Time) to the Company, solely for the benefit of the Company Optionholders, for exchange in accordance with this Article II. The Company shall deliver the Optionholder Cash Payments to the Company Optionholders pursuant to Section 2.7(b), 2.7(c) and 2.7(d).

(b)Promptly following the date hereof, the Evolent Entities and the Company will deliver a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F to each Company Stockholder, for use in effecting delivery of shares of Company Stock. To the extent that a Company Stockholder (other than a holder of Dissenting Stock) delivers a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal to the Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay to such Company Stockholder at the Closing, such Company’s Stockholder’s portion of the Stockholder Cash Consideration as set forth for such Company Stockholder in the Distribution Waterfall (together with any cash payable to such Company Stockholder in accordance with Section 2.7(g) or Section 2.7(i), the “Stockholder Cash Payment”) which amounts shall be paid or caused to be paid by the Evolent Entities by wire transfer in accordance with the instructions provided by such Company Stockholder at least two (2) Business Days prior to Closing.

(c)Following the date hereof, each Company Optionholder shall deliver to Purchaser a duly executed and completed Option Cancellation Agreement no later than three (3) Business Days prior to Closing. To the extent that a Company Optionholder delivers a duly executed Option Cancellation Agreement to the Company at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, the Company shall pay to such Company Optionholder at the Closing cash in an amount equal to such Company Optionholders portion of the Optionholder Cash Consideration

as set forth for such Company Optionholder in the Distribution Waterfall (together with any cash payable to such Company Optionholder in accordance with Section 2.7(g) or Section 2.7(i), the “Optionholder Cash Payment”), which amounts shall be paid promptly following the Closing (and in any case by the next normal payroll date of the Company following the Closing Date) through the Company’s payroll systems (other than with respect to any Optionholder Cash Payment in respect of non-employee service providers, which payments shall be delivered to such non-employee service providers by wire transfer of immediately available funds).

(d)Following the Closing, (x) upon delivery by a Company Stockholder (other than a holder of Dissenting Stock) to the Purchaser of a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, such Company Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, as soon as practicable but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after such delivery, such Company Stockholder’s Stockholder Cash Payment, which amounts shall be paid by wire transfer in accordance with the instructions provided by such Company Stockholder and (y) upon delivery by a Company Optionholder to the Company and Purchaser of a duly executed Option Cancellation Agreement, such Company Optionholder shall be entitled to receive payment of such Company Optionholder’s Optionholder Cash Payment promptly (and in any case by the next normal payroll date of the Company following such delivery) through the Company’s payroll systems (other than with respect to Optionholder Cash Payment in respect of non-employee service providers, which payments shall be delivered to such non-employee service providers by wire transfer of immediately available funds).

(e)To the extent that a Company Stockholder (other than a holder of Dissenting Stock) or Company Optionholder delivers a duly executed Letter of Transmittal or Option Cancellation Agreement, as applicable, and Accredited Investor Questionnaire to the Evolent Entities at least two (2) Business Days prior to Closing and subject to Section 2.7(g), the Evolent Entities shall deliver to such Company Stockholder or Company Optionholder, and such Company Stockholder or Company Optionholder shall be entitled to receive, at or promptly following the Closing, evidence of the issuance by Parent’s transfer agent, in the form of book entry shares or in the alternative shares in certificated form representing such Company Stockholder’s Stockholder Share Consideration or such Company Optionholder’s Optionholder Share Consideration.

(f)Following the Closing, upon delivery by a Company Stockholder (other than a holder of Dissenting Stock) or Company Optionholder of a duly executed Letter of Transmittal or Option Cancellation Agreement, as applicable, and Accredited Investor Questionnaire to the Evolent Entities, the Evolent Entities shall, subject to Section 2.7(g), deliver to such Company Stockholder or Company Optionholder, and such Company Stockholder or Company Optionholder shall be entitled to receive, as soon as practicable but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after such delivery, evidence of the issuance by Parent’s transfer agent, in the form of book entry shares or in the alternative shares in certificated form representing such Company Stockholder’s Stockholder Share Consideration or such Company Optionholder’s Optionholder Share Consideration.

(g)The issuance of any Parent Shares to any Seller hereunder shall be expressly conditioned upon such Seller providing written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the

Evolent Entities that such Seller is an Accredited Investor (including by delivery of an Accredited Investor Questionnaire completed in a manner satisfactory to the Evolent Entities). If any Seller is not an Accredited Investor, Purchaser and the Company shall (in lieu of issuing Parent Shares to such Seller) provide for the payment of cash as means to compensate such Non-Accredited Investors in such amounts as would have otherwise been paid in respect of such Shares determined by multiplying (x) the Parent Share Price by (y) the Parent Shares such Non-Accredited Investor would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or (d) and Section 2.7(e).

(h)Neither of the Evolent Entities nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(i)No fractional Parent Shares shall be issued in the Merger. All fractional Parent Shares that any Seller would be entitled to receive shall be aggregated and calculations shall be rounded to three decimal places. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Seller otherwise entitled to a fractional interest in a Parent Share shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof (rounded to the nearest cent), which payment shall be determined by multiplying (x) the Parent Share Price by (y) the fractional interest in a Parent Share such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.6(b) or (d). As soon as practicable after determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to any Seller in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares, the Purchaser shall make available such amounts, without interest, to the Sellers entitled to receive such cash.

(j)No Seller may assign or transfer any right to receive Parent Shares pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent (which may be withheld in Parent’s sole discretion), other than (i) on death by will or intestacy, (ii) pursuant to a court order, (iii) by operation of Law (including a consolidation or merger), (iv) to or for the benefit of any spouse, children, parents, uncles, aunts, siblings, grandchildren (collectively, “Approved Relatives”) or to a trust established solely for the benefit of such Seller and/or his, her or its Approved Relatives or (v) without consideration, in connection with the dissolution, liquidation or termination of any corporation, limited liability company or other entity.

(k)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Evolent Entities, Merger Sub and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Seller, or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Evolent Entities, Merger Sub or any other applicable withholding agent, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. The parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to take any action as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed under applicable Law with respect to the transactions

contemplated pursuant to this Agreement other than with respect to any compensatory payments to employees and other individual service providers and other than with respect to any withholding required as a result of the failure to timely deliver the affidavit described in Section 3.2(h)(iii) of this Agreement.

2.8No Further Ownership Rights in the Company Stock or Options. The portion of the Final Merger Cash Consideration and Share Consideration paid in respect of the exchange of Company Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Stock, and, upon the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Company Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No holder of Options, nor any other participant in the Company Stock Plan shall, from and after the Closing, have any right thereunder to acquire any securities of the Company or to receive any payment or benefit with respect to any award previously granted under the Company Stock Plan and the Company Stock Plan shall be terminated effective upon the Closing.

2.9Repaid Indebtedness; Company Transaction Expenses. It is contemplated by the parties that, upon the Closing, all Borrowed Money Indebtedness of the Company Group as of the Closing Date, including, without limitation, under the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Repaid Indebtedness”) will be fully repaid and that Purchaser shall make or cause to be made such repayment on behalf of the Company Group out of cash proceeds otherwise payable to Sellers on the Closing Date. In order to facilitate such repayment, prior to the Closing, the Company shall obtain and deliver to the Purchaser customary payoff letters for all Repaid Indebtedness of the Company Group, which payoff letters shall acknowledge the aggregate principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest constituting the Repaid Indebtedness and include customary lien release and termination provisions (contingent solely upon receipt of the applicable payoff amounts set forth therein) (the “Payoff Letters”). In addition, it is contemplated by the parties hereto that, upon the Closing, all of the Company Transaction Expenses (to the extent not paid by the Company Group prior to the Closing) will be fully paid, and that such payment will be funded by Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries out of cash proceeds otherwise payable to Sellers. Subject to the satisfaction of the Company Group’s conditions, covenants and obligations to be satisfied prior to the Closing, in connection with the Closing, Purchaser shall make payment of the Company Transaction Expenses on the Closing Date in order to discharge the amounts payable thereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to Taxes included in Company Transaction Expenses, which shall be paid by the applicable member of the Company Group when due. In addition, it is contemplated by the parties hereto that, upon the Closing, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund to the Sellers’ Representative to be held in trust to cover and reimburse the fees and expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative for its obligations in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

2.10Closing Adjustment.

(a)Determination of Closing Adjustment. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide the Evolent Entities with a statement (the

“Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth its good faith estimate of Working Capital as of the Measurement Time (“Estimated Working Capital”), a good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of all Cash of the Company Group as of the Measurement Time (“Estimated Cash”), a good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness of the Company Group as of immediately prior to the Closing (other than with respect to Taxes included in Indebtedness, which shall be calculated as of the end of the day on the Closing Date) (“Estimated Indebtedness”), a good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of all Company Transaction Expenses of the Company Group as of immediately prior to the Closing (“Estimated Company Transaction Expenses”) and the amount by which the Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration is to be adjusted on account thereof. In addition, the Estimated Closing Statement will set forth the Excluded Aetna Receivables. The Estimated Closing Statement and the determinations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement, the Accounting Principles and Schedule 1.1(c). The Sellers’ Representative and the Company shall (i) provide the Evolent Entities and their Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), supporting data, facilities and employees of the Company for purposes of their review of the Closing Statement, and (ii) reasonably cooperate with the Evolent Entities and their Representatives in connection with such review, including providing on a timely basis all other information reasonably necessary or useful in connection with the review of the Estimated Closing Statement as is requested by the Purchaser or its Representatives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, between the Measurement Time and the Closing, the Sellers shall not, and Sellers shall not cause any member of the Company Group to, take any action (or omit to take any action) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any dividends, satisfaction of any Indebtedness, or payment of any Company Transaction Expenses) with the effect of modifying Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Working Capital or Estimated Company Transaction Expenses (in each case as if such amounts were measured as of immediately prior to the Closing rather than as of the Measurement Time) in order to increase the Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration payable to the Sellers. If any such payments are made between the Measurement Time and the Closing which are not captured as a deduction to Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration through either a liability in Net Working Capital, Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness, Available Cash shall be reduced by the value of such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, and without duplication, if any payments are made between the Measurement Time and the end of the day on the Closing Date which reduce the value of Accrued Income Taxes, Available Cash shall be reduced by the value of such payment. The calculations of Actual Working Capital and Actual Cash delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be based upon the draft Closing Statement delivered pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) after the Company’s good faith consideration of the reasonable comments of the Purchaser thereon. The Company shall also deliver to the Evolent Entities, together with the Closing Statement, the updated Distribution Waterfall reflecting amounts to be paid in accordance with this Agreement to each Company Stockholder and Company Optionholder at the Closing.

(b)Determination of Post-Closing Adjustment. No later than seventy-five (75) days following the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative the calculation of the actual Working Capital as of the Measurement Time (“Actual Working Capital”) (prepared in accordance with Schedule 1.1(c)) and a calculation of the actual Cash of

the Company Group as of the Measurement Time (“Actual Cash”), a calculation of the actual aggregate amount of all Indebtedness of the Company Group as of immediately prior to the Closing (“Actual Indebtedness”) and a calculation of the actual aggregate amount of all Company Transaction Expenses of the Company Group as of immediately prior to the Closing (“Actual Company Transaction Expenses”) calculated in a manner consistent with the Accounting Principles, the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(c)Disputed Final Adjustment.

(i) No later than thirty (30) days following the delivery by Purchaser of the calculation of Actual Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness and Actual Company Transaction Expenses, the Sellers’ Representative shall notify Purchaser in writing whether it accepts or disputes the accuracy of the calculation of Actual Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness and Actual Company Transaction Expenses. During such thirty (30) day period, the Sellers’ Representative and its agents shall be provided with such access to the financial books and records of the Purchaser and the Company Group as well as any relevant work papers as it may reasonably request to enable it to evaluate the Actual Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness and Actual Company Transaction Expenses. If the Sellers’ Representative accepts the calculation of Actual Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness and Actual Company Transaction Expenses determined pursuant to Section 2.10(b), or if the Sellers’ Representative fails within such thirty (30) day period to notify Purchaser of any dispute with respect thereto, then the calculation of Actual Working Capital determined pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be the “Final Working Capital,” the calculation of Actual Cash determined pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be the “Final Cash,” the calculation of Actual Indebtedness determined pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be the “Final Indebtedness,” and the calculation of Actual Company Transaction Expenses determined pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be the “Final Company Transaction Expenses” which, in each case, shall be deemed final and conclusive and binding.

(ii) If the Sellers’ Representative disputes the accuracy of the calculation of Actual Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness or Actual Company Transaction Expenses, the Sellers’ Representative shall provide written notice to Purchaser no later than thirty (30) days following the delivery by Purchaser to the Sellers’ Representative of the calculation of Actual Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness and Actual Company Transaction Expenses (the “Dispute Notice”), setting forth those items that the Sellers’ Representative disputes. During the thirty (30) day period following delivery of a Dispute Notice, Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith with a view to resolving their disagreements over the disputed items. During such thirty (30) day period and until the final determination of Actual Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness and/or Actual Company Transaction Expenses in accordance with this Section 2.10(c)(ii) or Section 2.10(c)(iii), as the case may be, (as so determined, or as determined pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(i) above, “Final Working Capital,” “Final Cash,” “Final Indebtedness” and “Final Company Transaction Expenses,” respectively), the Sellers’ Representative and its agents shall be provided with such access to the financial books and records of the Purchaser and the Company Group as it may reasonably request. If the parties resolve their differences over the disputed items in accordance with the foregoing procedure, Final Working Capital, Final Cash,

Final Indebtedness and Final Company Transaction Expenses shall be the amounts agreed upon by them. If the parties fail to resolve their differences over the disputed items within such thirty (30) day period, then Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall forthwith jointly request that an independent national accounting firm, to be mutually agreed to at the time (the “Accounting Arbitrator”) make a binding determination as to the disputed items in accordance with this Agreement.

(iii) The Accounting Arbitrator will under the terms of its engagement have no more than thirty (30) days from the date of referral and no more than ten (10) Business Days from the final submission of information and testimony by Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative within which to render its written decision with respect to the disputed items (and only with respect to any unresolved disputed items set forth in the Dispute Notice) and the final calculation of Actual Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness and Actual Company Transaction Expenses shall be based solely on the resolution of such disputed items. The Accounting Arbitrator shall review such submissions and base its determination solely on such submissions. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Arbitrator may not assign a value to any item greater than the maximum value for such item claimed by either party or less than the minimum value for such item claimed by either party. The decision of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be deemed final and binding upon the parties and enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction and the Accounting Arbitrator’s final calculation of Actual Working Capital shall be deemed the “Final Working Capital,” the Accounting Arbitrator’s final calculation of Actual Cash shall be deemed the “Final Cash,” the Accounting Arbitrator’s final calculation of Actual Indebtedness shall be deemed the “Final Indebtedness” and the Accounting Arbitrator’s final calculation of Actual Company Transaction Expenses shall be deemed the “Final Company Transaction Expenses”.” The fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be allocated to be paid by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers, severally and not jointly, in proportion to the applicable percentage set forth on Schedule 2.11(c)(iii) (the “Applicable Percentage”)), on the other, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Accounting Arbitrator.

(d)Payment following Calculation of Final Working Capital, Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, and Final Company Transaction Expenses.

(i) Following the final determination of Final Working Capital, Final Cash, Final Indebtedness and Final Company Transaction Expenses, the Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration shall be recalculated by substituting the Final Working Capital for the Estimated Working Capital in Section 1.1, the Final Cash for the Estimated Cash in Section 1.1, the Final Indebtedness for the Estimated Indebtedness in Section 1.1 and the Final Company Transaction Expenses for the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses in Section 1.1 (the “Adjusted Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration”) and if (after taking into account any Upward Closing Working Capital Adjustment or Downward Closing Working Capital Adjustment at the Closing) (A) the Adjusted Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration is greater than the Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration on the Closing Date, then such difference shall be paid or caused to be paid by Purchaser to the Company Stockholders in accordance with such Person’s Applicable Percentage and to the Surviving Corporation (for the benefit of the Company Optionholders in accordance

with such Person’s Applicable Percentage) (provided that such amount to be paid or caused to be paid by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.10(d)(i) shall not exceed the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Fund); or (B) the Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration on the Closing Date is greater than the Adjusted Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration, then the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release such difference from the Adjustment Escrow Fund to Purchaser or one of its subsidiaries (provided that such amount paid to the Purchaser or one of its subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 2.10(d)(i) shall not exceed the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Fund) and to release any remaining funds, after payment of any adjustment to Purchaser or one of its subsidiaries, to the Company Stockholders in accordance with such Person’s Applicable Percentage and to the Surviving Corporation (for the benefit of the Company Optionholders in accordance with such Person’s Applicable Percentage). In the event that (i) the full amount (if any) by which the Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration on the Closing Date exceeds the Adjusted Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Fund, Purchaser shall have no recourse against the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers or any other Person beyond the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Fund, and (ii) the full amount (if any) by which the Adjusted Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration is greater than the Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration is greater the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Fund, the Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers shall have no recourse against the Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation or any other Person beyond the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Fund.

(ii) All payments pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in advance by the Sellers’ Representative, the Company or Purchaser, as applicable, and all such payments and releases from the Adjustment Escrow Fund, as applicable, shall be made on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day following: (A) the thirty (30) day period following Purchaser’s delivery of the calculation of the Actual Working Capital and Actual Cash pursuant to Section 2.10(b) if the Sellers’ Representative does not timely dispute either of such amounts pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(i); (B) the date of the Sellers’ Representative’s and Purchaser’s mutual determination of Final Working Capital, Final Indebtedness, Final Transaction Expenses and Final Cash in the event the Sellers’ Representative timely disputes either of such amounts pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(i) and the Sellers’ Representative’s and Purchaser’s differences are resolved without the engagement of an Accounting Arbitrator pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii); and (C) the date of the Accounting Arbitrator’s determination of Final Working Capital, Final Indebtedness, Final Transaction Expenses and/or Final Cash pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(iii) in the event the Sellers’ Representative timely disputes either of such amounts pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(i) and the Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser are unable to resolve their differences pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii). All payments pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) shall be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

2.11Dissenting Stock.

(a)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by Company Stockholders who shall have not voted in favor of the Merger and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the

DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Stock”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, any portion of the Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration or Final Merger Cash Consideration, Share Consideration and Earnout Consideration payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Such holders of Company Stock shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262, except that all Dissenting Stock held by the holders of Company Stock who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares under such Section 262 shall thereupon have the rights provided in Section 262.

(b)The Company shall give (i) Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative prompt written notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) Purchaser the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Purchaser, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

2.12Earnout Consideration. The Company Stockholders and Company Optionholders shall be eligible to receive the Shareholder Earnout Consideration and the Optionholder Earnout Consideration, respectively, if any, as set forth on Exhibit G hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of the Earnout Consideration otherwise issuable to a Company Stockholder or Company Optionholder who is not an Accredited Investor may be in the form of cash as opposed to Parent Shares.

6.2Authorization.

6.5Litigation.

(a)As of the date of this Agreement, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, orders or investigations pending or, to Purchaser’s Knowledge, threatened against or affecting Purchaser or Merger Sub, at law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Authority, which would adversely affect Parent’s, Purchaser’s or Merger Sub’s performance under this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Purchaser will not transfer or otherwise dispose any of the Company Stock acquired directly or indirectly hereunder or any interest therein in any manner that may cause any Company Stockholder to be in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act.

6.7Brokerage. There are no claims for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or similar compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on any arrangement or agreement made or alleged to have been made by or on behalf of Purchaser or Merger Sub (or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents), except as set forth on Schedule 6.7 of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule.

6.8Due Diligence Review. Each of Purchaser and Merger Sub acknowledges that: (a) it has completed to its satisfaction its own due diligence review with respect to the Company Group and it is entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on such investigation and, except for the specific representations and warranties made by the Company in Article 5, it is not relying upon any representation or warranty of any member of the Company Group or any Affiliate thereof or any equityholder, officer, director, employee, agent or advisor, or any of them, nor upon the accuracy of any record, projection or statement made available or given to Purchaser or Merger Sub in the performance of such investigation, (b) it has had access to its full satisfaction to the Company Group and their respective books and records, Contracts, agreements and documents (including Tax Returns and related documents), and employees, agents and representatives, and (c) it has had such opportunity to seek accounting, legal, tax or other advice or information in connection with its entry into this Agreement and the other documents referred to herein relating to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as it has seen fit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.8 or otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser retains all of its right and remedies with respect to claims based on fraud.

6.9Financing.

(a)The aggregate proceeds of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter to be funded on the Closing Date (together with cash on hand of the Evolent Entities) are sufficient for the Evolent Entities to pay in full the Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration and the fees and expenses incurred by the Evolent Entities or Merger Sub and all other amounts payable in cash pursuant to this Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby or otherwise necessary to consummate all the transactions contemplated hereby and

thereby, in each case, to the extent such amounts are due and payable on the Closing Date (such amounts, the “Required Amounts”)..

(b)The Evolent Entities have delivered to the Company (i) a true, complete and correct copy of the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof, and (ii) a true, complete and correct copy of any fee letter entered into in connection with the Commitment Letter (including all exhibits, attachments, appendices and schedules thereto as of the date hereof, the “Fee Letters”); provided that the fees and similar economic terms, including any economic flex provisions (none of which could affect the conditionality, enforceability, timing, availability, termination or aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing) in a copy of any Fee Letter may be redacted in a customary manner. The Commitment Letter has not been amended, waived, supplemented or modified and the obligations and commitments contained such Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded, and no such amendment, waiver, supplement, modification, withdrawal, termination or rescindment is pending. The Commitment Letter is in full force and effect as of the date hereof and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to Purchaser’s Knowledge, each other party thereto, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, except, in each case, as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization or moratorium Laws, other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies. The Evolent Entities have fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters that are payable on or prior to the date hereof, if any. There are no side letters or other Contracts or arrangements related to the Debt Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter furnished to the Company pursuant to this Section 6.9. The Commitment Letter is not subject to any conditions or other similar contingencies (including pursuant to any “flex” provisions in the related fee letter or otherwise) other than as expressly set forth therein and not redacted in the version provided to the Company. Assuming the conditions set forth in Article 3 are satisfied at Closing, Parent has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Debt Financing will not be satisfied or the full amount of the Debt Financing will not be available to Evolent Entities on the Closing Date, and Parent is not aware of the existence of any fact or event as of the date hereof that would be reasonably expected to cause such conditions to the Financing not to be satisfied or the full amount of the Debt Financing not be available and the Closing not to occur.

6.10Solvency. As of the Closing, and after giving effect to all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Debt Financing) assuming the satisfaction or waiver of conditions set forth in Section 3.2 at Closing, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company Group in this Agreement, without giving effect to any materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications therein, and that any estimates or projections of the Company provided to Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company on or prior to the date hereof were prepared in good faith based on assumptions that were reasonable when made, each member of the Company Group, on a consolidated basis, will be Solvent. For purposes of this Section 6.10, “Solvent” means that, with respect to any Person and as of any date of determination, (a) the amount of the “present fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person, will, as of such date, exceed the amount of all “liabilities of such Person, contingent or

otherwise,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable federal laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the liability of such Person on its indebtedness as its indebtedness becomes absolute and matured, (c) such Person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to conduct its business and (d) such Person will be able to pay its indebtedness as it matures. For purposes of the foregoing definition only, “indebtedness” means a liability in connection with another Person’s (x) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured or (y) right to any equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right of payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

6.11Securities Laws Matters.

(a)The Parent Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and no securities commission or similar regulatory authority has issued any order preventing or suspending trading of any securities of Parent, and Parent is in compliance in all material respects with applicable requirements under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act.

(b)Parent is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of the NYSE for continued listing of the Parent Shares thereon.

(c)Trading in Parent Shares on the NYSE is not currently halted or suspended. No delisting, suspension of trading or cease trading order with respect to the Parent Shares is pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened. To the knowledge of Parent, as of the date of this Agreement, no inquiry, review or investigation (formal or informal) of Parent by any securities commission or similar regulatory authority under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act or by the NYSE is in effect or ongoing or expected to be implemented or undertaken.

(d)For the past four (4) years, Parent has timely filed all forms, reports, statements and documents, including financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis required to be filed by Parent under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be and the rules and policies of the NYSE (the “SEC Filings”). The documents in the Parent Public Disclosure Record, as at the respective dates filed, were in compliance in all material respects with the Exchange Act, the Securities Act and, where applicable, the rules and policies of the NYSE.

(e)None of the documents in the Parent Public Disclosure Record, as of their respective dates (and, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date hereof, then on the date of such filing), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

6.12Anti-Corruption and International Risk.

(a)During the last four (4) years, neither Evolent Entity, nor any of their directors, officers, or employees, nor, to the Purchaser’s Knowledge, any of their agents has, directly or indirectly, given or agreed to give any rebate, gift, or similar benefit to any supplier, customer, governmental employee or other Person who was, is, or may be in a position to help or hinder the Evolent Entities (or assist in connection with any actual or proposed transaction by the Evolent Entities) in violation of the Anti-Corruption Laws.

(b)During the last four (4) years, neither Evolent Entity, nor any director, officer, or employee, nor, to the Purchaser’s Knowledge, any agent, distributor, consultant, affiliate, or any person acting on behalf of the Purchaser Entities, has taken any action, either directly or indirectly, in a violation of the Anti-Corruption Laws, including making, offering, authorizing, or promising any payment, contribution, gift, entertainment, bribe, rebate, kickback, or any other thing of value, regardless of form or amount, to any (i) foreign or domestic government official or employee, (ii) employee of a foreign or domestic government-owned entity, (iii) foreign or domestic political party official or organization to obtain a competitive advance to receive favorable treatment in obtaining or retaining a business, or to compensate for favorable treatment already secured.

(c)During the last four (4) years, the Evolent Entities and their directors, officers, and employees, and, to the Purchaser’s Knowledge, their consultants and agents have at all times fully complied with, and are currently in full compliance with, the Anti-Corruption Laws. Neither Evolent Entity nor, to the Purchaser’s Knowledge, any director, officer, employee, agent, distributor, consultant, Affiliate, or other Person acting on behalf of the members of the Evolent Entities, are, or have been, under administrative, civil, or criminal investigation, indictment, information, suspension, debarment, or audit (other than a routine contract audit) by any party, in connection with alleged or possible violations of the Anti-Corruption Laws.

(d)No director, officer, employee, agent, or other Person acting on behalf of or for the benefit of the Evolent Entities, and, to the Purchaser’s Knowledge, none of the Evolent Entities’ Affiliates or any representatives of any such Affiliate is a Restricted Party nor has engaged in, nor is it now engaged in, any dealings or transactions with or for the benefit of any Restricted Party, nor has otherwise violated Sanctions.

or conduct relating to the business of the Purchaser Entities that would constitute an offense under the Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws, Export Control Laws, or Sanctions.

(a)The Sellers, by approving the principal terms of the Merger (including by executing the Written Consent), Letter of Transmittal and/or Option Cancellation Agreement hereby constitute and appoint TPG Growth V Iceman, L.P. as the Sellers’ Representative. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Sellers’ Representative” shall mean the representative, true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney in fact of the Sellers for all purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, with full power and authority on such Seller’s behalf (i) to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, (ii) to pay such Seller’s expenses (whether incurred on or after the date hereof) incurred in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement, (iii) to receive, give receipt and disburse (or cause to be disbursed) any funds received hereunder on behalf of or to such Seller and each other Seller and to holdback from disbursement any such funds to the extent it reasonably determines may be necessary, (iv) to execute and deliver any certificates representing the Company Stock and execution of such further instruments as Purchaser shall reasonably request, (v) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Seller all documents contemplated herein and any amendment or waiver hereto, (vi) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Seller in connection herewith, (vii) to negotiate, settle, compromise and otherwise handle all disputes under this Agreement, including without limitation, disputes regarding Estimated Working Capital and any adjustment pursuant to

The Sellers, by approving the principal terms of the Merger and/or accepting the consideration payable to them hereunder, irrevocably grant unto said attorney-in-fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as fully to all intents and purposes as the Sellers might or could do in person. Each of the Sellers agrees that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity or bankruptcy of any Seller.

(b)All decisions, actions, consents and instructions of the Sellers’ Representative shall be final and binding upon all the Sellers and no Seller shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same, except for fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct. Neither the Sellers’ Representative nor any agent employed by Sellers’ Representative shall incur any liability to any Seller relating to the performance of its duties hereunder except for actions or omissions constituting fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Seller, except in respect of amounts actually received on behalf of such Seller. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. The Evolent Entities and Merger Sub may conclusively rely upon, without independent verification or investigation, all decisions made by, and all written notices and deliveries of, the Sellers’ Representative in connection with this Agreement.

(c)The Sellers shall cooperate with the Sellers’ Representative and any accountants, attorneys or other agents whom the Sellers’ Representative may retain to assist in carrying out Sellers’ Representative’s duties hereunder. The Sellers shall reimburse the Sellers’ Representative for all costs and expenses, including professional fees, incurred.

Any balance of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund not incurred for such purposes shall be returned to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage. For all Tax purposes, the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund shall be treated as

having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Sellers at the time of Closing, after any withholding required by applicable Law, and for the avoidance of doubt any Taxes required to be withheld in respect of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund that is treated as having been paid to an Optionholder at Closing shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, be withheld from the portion of the Optionholder Consideration paid to the applicable Optionholder.

(f)It is acknowledged by each of the parties hereto that the Company Group and the Sellers’ Representative (and its Affiliates) have retained Ropes & Xxxx LLP (“Sellers’ Counsel”) to act as their counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that Sellers’ Counsel has not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that no other party or Person has the status of a client of the Sellers’ Counsel for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. Purchaser and the Company hereby agree that, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates and Sellers’ Representative or any of its Affiliates, Sellers’ Counsel may represent Sellers’ Representative or any of its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of Sellers’ Representative or any of its Affiliates may be directly adverse to Purchaser, any member of the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates and even though Sellers’ Counsel may have represented a member of the Company Group in a matter substantially related to such dispute, and Purchaser, the Company and their respective Affiliates hereby waive, on behalf of themselves and each of their Affiliates, any conflict of interest in connection with such representation by Sellers’ Counsel. Each of Purchaser and the Company further agrees that, as to all pre-Closing communications among Sellers’ Counsel, any member of the Company Group, and any Seller that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence and all other rights to any evidentiary privilege belong to Sellers’ Representative and its Affiliates, as applicable, and may be controlled by Sellers’ Representative and its Affiliates and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser, the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates. Purchaser and the Company agree to take, and to cause their respective Affiliates to take, all steps necessary to implement the intent of this Section 8.6(f).

8.7Directors and Officers Insurance; Employee Matters.

(a)At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall purchase for the benefit of any Person who is on the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer, director or manager of any member of the Company Group (each such Person, a “D&O Beneficiary”), officers’ and directors’ liability insurance coverage (“D&O Insurance”) with respect to all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation (each, a “D&O Claim”) to the extent that any such D&O Claim is based on, or arises out of, (i) the fact that such D&O Beneficiary is or was a manager, director or officer of any member of the Company Group at any time prior to the Closing Date or is or was serving at the request of any member of the Company Group as a manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at any time prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (but

excluding any claim made by the Purchaser or the Company Group in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) in each case to the extent that any such D&O Claim pertains to any matter or fact arising, existing, or occurring prior to or at the Closing Date, regardless of whether such D&O Claim is asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing Date, which coverage will be substantially similar to the existing D&O Insurance of the Company Group, a copy of which has been made available to Purchaser’s counsel, including, without limitation, (x) an overall coverage amount not less than the overall coverage amount under the existing D&O Insurance of the Company Group and (y) coverage for liability under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in an amount not less than the coverage amounts for such liabilities under the existing D&O Insurance of the Company Group; provided, however, that if such policy is not available at a cost equal to or less than three hundred percent (300%) of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof under the existing D&O Insurance (the “Insurance Cap”), then the Company Group shall be required to obtain as much coverage as is possible under substantially similar policies for such annual premiums as do not exceed the Insurance Cap. The cost of such D&O Insurance shall be borne by Purchaser. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any member of the Company Group (including the Surviving Corporation) to, amend, repeal or modify (in a manner adverse to the beneficiary thereof) any provision in such Person’s certificates of incorporation, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or comparable governing documents relating to the exculpation or indemnification of, or advancement of expenses to, any officers, directors or managers, it being the intent of the parties hereto that the officers, directors and managers of the Company Group on the date hereof shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation, indemnification and advancement to the full extent of the law. The provisions of this Section 8.7 are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, each D&O Beneficiary and such Person’s estate, heirs and representatives, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have pursuant to law, the organizational documents of any member of the Company Group, contract or otherwise.

(b)The Purchaser and Company hereby acknowledge that the D&O Beneficiaries has or may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the Sellers’ Representative or its Affiliates. The Purchaser and Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive, relinquish and release, and covenant and agree not to exercise (and to cause each of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to exercise), any rights that the Company Group may now have or hereafter acquire against any of the Sellers’ Representative or its Affiliates or any D&O Beneficiary that arise from or relate to the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of their obligations under this Agreement or under any other indemnification agreement (whether pursuant to contract or organizational documents) with any person or entity, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation (whether pursuant to contract or common law), reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, or to be held harmless, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any D&O Beneficiary against the Sellers’ Representative or its Affiliates, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Sellers’ Representative or its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right. The Company hereby acknowledge hereby agree that it is the indemnitor of first resort under this Section 8.7 (i.e., its obligations to any

D&O Beneficiary under this Section 8.7 to provide a indemnification are primary and any obligation of the Sellers’ Representative or its Affiliates to provide indemnification for the same expenses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, costs and amounts paid in settlement incurred by such D&O Beneficiary are secondary). The rights of the D&O Beneficiaries under this Section 8.7 shall be in addition to any rights such D&O Beneficiaries may have under the organizational documents of any member of the Company Group or under any applicable Contracts or Laws, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed as or shall release or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to any member of the Company Group for any of its managers, officers or other employees (it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.7 is not prior to or in substitution of any such claims under such policies).

(c)Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company Group to, provide to all of the employees of the Company Group as of the Closing who continue employment with the Company Group, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates immediately after the Closing (the “Continuing Employees”), for a period ending on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date and the date the Continuing Employee terminates employment with the Company Group, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates, an hourly wage or base salary, as applicable, commission and other periodic cash incentive opportunities (excluding change-in-control, transaction, and retention bonus opportunities) and employee benefits (excluding equity compensation and defined benefit pension benefits) that are substantially comparable (in the case of benefits, as determined in the aggregate) to those provided by the Company Group to the applicable Continuing Employee as of the Closing (subject to any applicable vesting schedule for employee contributions under the New Plans). Purchaser further agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall and shall cause each member of the Company Group and any subsidiary of Purchaser to grant each Continuing Employee credit for such Continuing Employee’s service with any member of the Company Group prior to the Closing Date for eligibility and vesting purposes and for purposes of determining the amount of paid time off and severance (but not for any other benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan, retiree health plan or incentive equity or other long-term incentive compensation plan) under any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement that may be established or maintained by Purchaser or a member of the Company Group or any of its or their Subsidiaries on or after the Closing Date (the “New Plans”) to the same extent that such service was recognized by any member of the Company Group under an Employee Plan as of the Closing (except to the extent such credit would result in duplication of benefits. In addition, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, including, to the extent necessary, obtaining the consent of any applicable insurer, to (x) cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusion and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by the applicable Continuing Employee under any Employee Plan as of the Closing Date and (y) cause any deductible, co-insurance and out-of-pocket covered expenses paid on or before the Closing Date by the applicable Continuing Employee (or covered dependent thereof) of any member of the Company Group to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable New Plan in the year of initial participation. Purchaser agrees that Purchaser and the

Company Group will be solely responsible for any obligations arising under Section 4980B of the Code with respect to all “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, is intended to (i) create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any current or former employee, director, officer or independent contractor of any member of the Company Group to enforce the provisions of this Section 8.7, (ii) confer upon any employee of any member of the Company Group any right to employment or continued employment for any period, or any term or condition of employment or continued receipt of any specific employee benefit, in each case with or from any member of the Company Group, the Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, (iii) shall constitute a termination, adoption, amendment to or any other modification of any New Plan or Employee Plan or (iv) (subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 8.7) limit in any way the right of any member of the Company Group, Purchaser, or their respective Affiliates to amend or terminate any New Plan or Employee Plan at any time. Upon written request of Purchaser at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company Group shall (or shall cause the applicable plan sponsor to), at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, adopt written resolutions (or take other necessary and appropriate action(s)) to terminate any Employee Plan designated by the Purchaser, including any Employee Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code with a cash or deferred arrangement described in Section 401(k) of the Code. In addition, Purchaser shall take any and all actions as may be required to permit each Continuing Employee to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, including plan loans) to a qualified retirement plan sponsored by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates that includes a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code, effective as of the date of eligibility, in an amount equal to any eligible rollover distribution made to such Continuing Employee from any such Company Plan that is a cash or deferred arrangement described in Section 401(k) of the Code that is required to be terminated pursuant to this Section 8.7.

(d)The Company will, or will cause the applicable Subsidiary to, take all necessary actions to solicit stockholder approval (the “280G Approval”) (in accordance with the requirements of Section 280G(b) of the Code and the regulations thereunder (“Section 280G”)) of any payments or benefits paid or payable by the Company Group that would, absent stockholder approval, reasonably be expected to be parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G (“Section 280G Payments”). Prior to soliciting such 280G Approval, the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary) will use reasonable best efforts to obtain waivers from any disqualified individuals (within the meaning of Section 280G) providing that, unless such payments and benefits to such individuals are approved by the stockholders in the manner required under Section 280G, no such payments and benefits will be paid or provided. No later than four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company will notify the Evolent Entities whether or not the 280G Approval was obtained with respect to any Section 280G Payments that were subject to such stockholder vote. To the extent 280G Approval is sought, the Company shall provide to the Evolent Entities at least five (5) Business Days prior to the distribution of the waivers, copies of all documents prepared by the Company in connection with this Section 8.7(d) (including calculations) for the Evolent Entities’ review and shall consider in good faith for incorporation all of the Evolent Entities’ comments.

8.8Tax Matters.

(a)Straddle Periods; Certain Purchaser Actions.

(i) To the extent it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine the amount of any Tax items attributable to any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) that is allocable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall, for Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income, gains, receipts, sales or payroll or other transaction-based Taxes (including withholding Taxes), be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income, gains, receipts, sales or payroll or other transaction-based Taxes (including withholding Taxes) be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended at the end of the day on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity, in which any member of the Company Group holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned on a daily basis and Taxes that are computed on a periodic basis, such as property Taxes, shall also be apportioned on a daily basis.

(ii) The calculation of the Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration and the Adjusted Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration, as finally determined, shall not take into account any change in the Tax liability of the Company Group from any of the following actions of the Purchaser (and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, including the Company Group) after the Closing except to the extent such action was required by a change in Law after the date hereof: (a) the filing, amendment or other modification of any Tax Return with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (b) the extension or waiver of any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (c) the initiation of any voluntary contact with a Governmental Body (including entering into any voluntary disclosure agreement or similar process) with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, or (d) the adoption, making or changing of any Tax election or accounting method or practice with respect to, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period.

(b)Tax Returns.

(i) The Company Group, at its 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 Group (or any member thereof) that are required to be filed (taking into account applicable extensions validly obtained) 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 Group, as applicable, with respect to such items, except as required by applicable Law.

(ii) Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause the Company Group to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of the Company Group due after the Closing Date (the “Purchaser Prepared Returns”) and timely pay the Taxes due in connection with any Purchaser

Prepared Return; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s obligation to pay such Taxes shall not affect the calculation of the Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration and the Adjusted Aggregate Initial Cash Consideration, as finally determined. To the extent that a Purchaser Prepared Return relates to Income Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period and otherwise could have an effect on the Tax Benefit Payment (a “Reviewed Income Tax Return”), such Tax Return shall be prepared in accordance with the past practices of the Company Group. At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking into account extensions validly obtained) of any Reviewed Income Tax Return, Purchaser shall provide a draft of such Tax Return to the Sellers’ Representative and shall permit the Sellers’ Representative to review and comment thereon. Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser will cooperate in good faith to resolve any dispute regarding the Sellers’ Representative’s comments to any Reviewed Income Tax Return; provided, however, if for any reason, Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser are unable to promptly resolve any such dispute, then such dispute shall be promptly resolved by the Accounting Arbitrator in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 2.10(c), mutatis mutandis (provided that the fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbiter shall be borne one half (1/2) by each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers, severally and not jointly, in proportion to the Applicable Percentage, on the other. The decision of the Accounting Arbiter shall be final and binding upon the Parties. If the due date (giving effect to any valid extensions properly obtained) for filing any such Reviewed Income Tax Return that is the subject of a dispute is prior to the date that such dispute is resolved by the Accounting Arbiter, then Purchaser shall be entitled to cause the Company Group to file such Tax Return reflecting its position and, if necessary, the Company Group shall thereafter promptly file an amendment to such Reviewed Income Tax Return to conform such Tax Return to the decision of the Accounting Arbiter.

(iii) To the maximum extent permitted by Law, all Transaction Tax Deductions shall be reported in Pre-Closing Tax Periods (and otherwise treated as attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods), or, in the case of a Straddle Period, allocated to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date in accordance with Section 8.8(a). Seventy percent (70%) of any success-based fees shall be deducted in accordance with Internal Revenue Service Rev. Proc. 2011-29, 2011-18 I.R.B. 746.

(c)Cooperation. Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested, in connection with (i) the filing of Tax Returns, (ii) any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes and Tax Returns, in each case with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period. Such cooperation shall include the retention, and (upon the other party’s request) the provision, of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, that the party requesting assistance shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the party providing such assistance; provided, further, no party shall be required to provide assistance at times or in amounts that would interfere unreasonably with the business and operations of such party.

(d)Tax Refunds. All refunds of Income Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries (or Tax credits received in lieu thereof) that are attributable to any overpayments of

Taxes (i) for the taxable year beginning on January 1, 2021, and (ii) the taxable year beginning on January 1, 2022, that are received by Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or a Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates following the Closing shall be for the account of the Sellers, and the full amount of such refunds shall be paid to the Sellers’ Representative (for distribution to the Sellers) within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof (or in the case of such Tax credits, the filing of a Tax Return electing to receive such Tax credit) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, except to the extent such refund or credit was previously taken into account in Accrued Income Taxes as finally determined. The Surviving Corporation shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to apply for all Tax refunds to which Sellers may be entitled pursuant to this Section 8.8(d) as reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representative, including by timely filing or causing to be timely filed all forms reasonably and timely requested by the Sellers’ Representative and all Reviewed Income Tax Returns, and shall, to the extent it would cause a refund of Taxes for the Company or a Subsidiary for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, carry back all net operating losses or other Tax attributes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment to be made to an Optionholder under this Section 8.8(d) shall be made through the payroll system of the Surviving Corporation or applicable Subsidiary thereof.

(e)Certain Tax Actions.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Purchaser nor any of their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) shall, unless required by applicable Law or requested by the Seller Representative pursuant to Section 8.06(d) or otherwise consented to in writing by the Seller Representative (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (A) amend any Tax Return of the Company and its Subsidiaries filed on or prior to the Closing Date or any Reviewed Income Tax Return, (B) enter into or pursue any voluntary disclosure agreement or voluntary disclosure program or similar program with a Governmental Authority or file any ruling or request with a Governmental Authority, in each case with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (C) file or change any Tax election with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries that has a retroactive effect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case if such action otherwise could reasonably be expected to have an effect on any payment to be made to the Sellers under this Agreement (including under Section 2.10 or the Tax Benefit Payment).

(ii) If, after the Closing, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or a Subsidiary) receives notice of any audit, other administrative proceeding or inquiry or judicial proceeding involving Taxes (a “Tax Contest”) imposed in whole or in part for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and that could affect the amount of any payment to be made to the Sellers under this Agreement (including under Section 2.10, Section 8.8(d) or Section 8.8(g) hereof), then within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, Purchaser (A) shall notify the Sellers’ Representative of such Tax Contest, (B) shall keep the Sellers’ Representative reasonably informed of all material developments with respect to such Tax Contest, (C) shall afford Sellers’ Representative the opportunity to comment on any material submission to the applicable Governmental Authority in the course of such Tax Contest, which comments Purchaser shall consider in good faith, (D) shall permit the Sellers’ Representative to

elect to participate, at the Sellers’ Representative’s sole cost and expense, in the defense of such Tax Contest, and (E) shall consult in good faith with Sellers’ Representative prior to settling any such Tax Contest.

To the extent that any of Purchaser, the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any of their Affiliates realizes a Transaction Tax Benefit that, pursuant to this Section 8.8(f), is for the benefit of the Sellers, Purchaser shall within ten (10) days of the filing of the Tax Return reflecting such Transaction Tax Benefit (or to the extent in the form of a refund, receiving the refund from the applicable Governmental Authority), pay to the Sellers’ Representative for distribution to the Sellers the amount of such Transaction Tax Benefit.

(h)Escrow Funds. The parties hereto agree that, for federal and all applicable state and local Income Tax reporting purposes, (i) Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries will be the owner of the Adjustment Escrow Fund and all income earned thereon shall, as of the end of each of Purchaser’s taxable years be reported as having been earned by Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries, whether or not such income was disbursed during such calendar year and (ii) the right of Sellers to distributions from the Adjustment Escrow Fund and to receive the Earnout Consideration shall be treated as deferred contingent purchase price eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provision of state or local law.

8.9Excluded Aetna Receivables. All Excluded Aetna Receivables that are received by Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or a Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates following the Closing and prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Sellers, and the full amount of such refunds shall be paid to the Sellers’ Representative (for distribution to the Sellers) within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment to be made to an Optionholder under this Section 8.9 shall be made through the payroll system of the Surviving Corporation or applicable Subsidiary thereof.

8.10 Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall have no obligation to make any payment pursuant to Section 8.8(d), Section 8.8(g), or Section 8.9 that would result in aggregate payments pursuant to Section 8.8(d), Section 8.8(g),

and Section 8.9 being in excess of $16,600,000, or to make any payment pursuant to Section 8.8(d) or Section 8.8(g) after the date that is the three-year anniversary of the Closing Date.

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties; Exclusive Remedy.

(a)Except for claims of Fraud or representations or warranties of Purchaser, its Affiliates, and their respective Subsidiaries under Section 2.11, none of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered by the parties pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time; provided that this Section 9.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties which by its terms contemplates performance after the Effective Time, including Section 2.11.

(b)No Seller shall bear any liability with respect to Losses incurred or suffered by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates as a result of a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, other than in the event of Fraud. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing, in the absence of Fraud, the Representation and Warranty Policy is Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the representations and warranties made under this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any Seller or its Affiliates relating to the operation of the Company and its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Schedules attached hereto and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages, or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law), except for claims and causes of action based on Fraud or claims arising under any covenant or agreement of the parties or their Affiliates or Sellers which by its terms contemplates performance of such covenant or agreement after the Closing.

(c)The Evolent Entities shall not bear any liability with respect to Losses incurred or suffered by any Seller or any of their Affiliates as a result of a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, other than in the event of Fraud. In furtherance of the foregoing, Sellers, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates, waive, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action they may have against the Evolent Entities or their Affiliates relating to the operation of the Company and its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Schedules attached hereto and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law, ordinance, rules or regulation or otherwise (including any rights, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost

recovery, damages, or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law), except for claims and causes of action based on Fraud or claims arising under any covenant or agreement of the parties or their Affiliates which by its terms contemplates performance of such covenant or agreement after the Closing.

9.2Amendment and Waiver. Subject to Section 9.14 below, this Agreement may not be amended, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers, and prior to the Closing, the Company). No course of dealing between or among any Persons having any interest in this Agreement will be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Person under or by reason of this Agreement. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provisions, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver, and no extension of time granted by any party hereto for the performance of any obligation or act by any other party hereto shall be deemed to be an extension of time for any other obligation or act hereunder.

All notices, demands and other communications to be given or delivered to Purchaser, the Company, or any Seller under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered if personally delivered, (ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent by reputable overnight courier, or (iii) when transmitted if delivered by facsimile or electronic mail (transmission confirmed), in each case to the addresses indicated below (unless another address is so specified in writing):

9.4Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, benefits or obligations set forth herein may be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative, any attempted assignment without such prior written consent shall be void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.4, the Evolent Entities may collaterally assign their rights under this Agreement to any of the Financing Sources pursuant to the terms of the Debt Financing solely for purposes of creating a security interest herein.

9.5Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

9.6No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and the parties intend that no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement or in any of the agreements contemplated hereby shall be by way

of example rather than by limitation. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to a “Section,” “Exhibit,” or “Schedule” shall be deemed to refer to a section of this Agreement, exhibit to this Agreement or a schedule to this Agreement, as applicable. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import referring to this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Any references to “employee” or “employees” of the Company include any employee or employees supplied to the Company by any professional employer organization. For purposes of this Agreement, any document or item will only be deemed “delivered”, “provided” or “made available” (or any word or phrase of similar import) to Purchaser within the meaning of this Agreement if such document or item is included in the electronic data room hosted on behalf of the Company (the “VDR”) two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

9.7Captions. The captions used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no caption had been used in this Agreement.

9.8No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement (including as set forth in Section 8.7(a) above and Section 9.16 below), nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, such third parties specifically including employees or creditors of the Company Group.

9.9Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages would be inadequate and the non-breaching party would have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree that such non-breaching party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or in equity, to enforce their rights and the other party’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that the Sellers’ Representative and the Company will be entitled to specific performance of the Evolent Entities to consummate the Transactions only in the event that (i) all conditions set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than those that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing (provided such conditions are capable of being satisfied)), (ii) the amounts committed to be funded in connection with the Debt Financing have been funded or will be funded at the Closing, in each case, in accordance with the Commitment Letters, (iii) the Company and Sellers’ Representative has irrevocably confirmed in writing to the Evolent Entities that all of conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3.1 have been satisfied or waived (other than those that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing (provided such conditions are capable of being satisfied)), that the Company and Sellers’ Representative stand ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing and that if specific performance is granted, then the Company will take all actions required to be taken by it to cause the Closing to occur

and (iv) the Evolent Entities and Merger Sub fail to consummate the Closing on or prior to the date on which the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstance shall the Company and Sellers’ Representative be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance pursuant to this Section 9.9 and payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.2(b).

9.10Guaranty. Parent, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Company and the Sellers’ Representative the due and punctual performance and discharge of all of the payment obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement, including any obligations set forth in (i) Section 2.7, (ii) Section 4.8(b) (solely to the extent relating to the financing cooperation reimbursement and indemnification obligations thereunder), (iii) Section 6.2(c) (with respect to the Termination Fee and any related costs and expenses payable by Purchaser) and (iv) Section 8.7(a), if, as and when those obligations become payable.

9.11Complete Agreement. This document and the documents referred to herein contain the complete agreement between the parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

9.12Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, any one of which may be by portable document format (.pdf) or facsimile, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9.13Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

To the extent permitted by law, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state court sitting in the State of Delaware or United States federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, over any suit, action or other proceeding brought by any party arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims with respect to any such suit, action or other proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts. In the event of any litigation regarding or arising from this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party its reasonable expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs incurred therein or in enforcement or collection of any judgment or award rendered therein.

9.14Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE

IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
