ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT This Asset Purchase Agreement (this βAgreementβ), made and entered into as of July 16, 2020, is by and among Passport Health Plan, Inc., a Kentucky corporation (βSellerβ), Evolent Health LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (βEvolentβ), and Xxxxxx Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (βBuyerβ). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined are set forth in Annex A, attached hereto. Buyer, Seller, and Evolent are sometimes referred to herein individually as a βPartyβ and jointly as the βParties.β RECITALS A. Seller operates a business that administers and delivers Medicaid managed care benefits in the Commonwealth of Kentucky (the βMedicaid Businessβ) pursuant to that certain Contract for Medicaid Managed Care Services between the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (βCHFSβ) and Seller, dated July 1, 2015 and as amended, supplemented and renewed from time to time (the βCHFS Medicaid Contractβ), and administers and reinsures a business owned and operated by University Health Care, Inc. (βUHCβ) that administers and delivers managed care benefits in the Commonwealth of Kentucky through the D- SNP Contract (the βD-SNP Businessβ and together with the Medicaid Business, the βBusinessβ). B. Seller is a party to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the βUHC APAβ), dated as of May 28, 2019 and as amended on December 30, 2019 and March 31, 2020, by and among UHC, Passport Health Solutions, LLC (βPHSβ), Seller and Evolent Health, Inc., pursuant to which, among other things, Seller acquired the CHFS Medicaid Contract and certain other assets from UHC. C. Pursuant to the terms of the UHC APA, Seller is to acquire, amongst other things, the D-SNP Contract from UHC and certain real property from UHC and PHS subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. D. Evolent provides administrative and management services for the Business pursuant to that certain Services Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2015, by and between Evolent and Seller (as amended from time to time, the βServices Agreementβ), and that certain Administrative Services and Employee Lease Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2019, by and between UHC and Seller (the βUHC Services Agreementβ). E. In connection with the Request for Proposal 758 2000000202, published on January 10, 2020, and closed on February 7, 2020 issued by CHFS with respect to the issuance of Medicaid contracts for plan year 2021 and the subsequent years included therein (the βRFPβ), Buyerβs Affiliate, Xxxxxx Healthcare of Kentucky, Inc., a Kentucky corporation (the βMolina Planβ), was awarded a Medicaid contract. F. Sellerβs CHFS Medicaid Contract is anticipated to terminate effective 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2020. G. Seller has determined that it is in the best interest of its shareholders, the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the Enrollees to consider strategic alternatives for the ownership and operation of the Business and the ownership of the Acquired Assets, including the sale of the Acquired Assets to a qualified owner and operator that will continue the Businessβ operations primarily in Louisville, Kentucky. -1-

H. The Parties believe that a transaction in which Buyer acquires the Acquired Assets will allow Buyer, working with Seller, to provide continuity of care to the Enrollees in connection with the transition of the Enrollees to a new Medicaid contract effective 12:00 a.m. on January 1, 2021 and Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan contract effective 12:00 a.m. on January 1, 2022.

Section 1.7 Purchase Price. (a) At the Closing, Buyer, Seller and Citibank N.A. (the βEscrow Agentβ) will enter into an escrow agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A the βEscrow Agreementβ) and Buyer shall deposit into a mutually agreeable escrow account a deposit of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), plus the amount of security deposits with respect to any Seller Lessee Real Property Leases as set forth on Schedule 1.7(a) (the βClosing Purchase Priceβ) in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Closing Purchase Price shall be released to Seller on January 1, 2021; provided, however, if this Agreement is terminated or the transactions contemplated herein are unwound in accordance with ARTICLE VIII, the Closing Purchase Price shall be refunded to Buyer as set forth therein. (b) No later than twenty (20) days following the expiration of the Open Enrollment Period, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the D-SNP Membership File that shows the number of D- SNP Enrollees enrolled in Sellerβs or UHCβs D-SNP plan as of the first Business Day immediately following the expiration of the Open Enrollment Period. Seller shall provide any supporting documentation with respect thereto reasonably requested by Buyer. No later than twenty (20) days following the expiration of the Open Enrollment Period, Buyer shall deliver to Seller the CHFS Membership File that shows the number of Medicaid Enrollees enrolled in the Molina Planβs health plans as of the first Business Day immediately following the expiration of the Open Enrollment Period together with its calculation of the Membership Purchase Price, which shall take into account any dispute that Buyer has with respect to the D-SNP Membership File delivered by Seller to Buyer. Seller shall have ten (10) days to review the CHFS Membership File and in the event Seller delivers a dispute notice to Buyer during such ten (10) day period with respect to the determination of the Membership Purchase Price, the applicable provisions of Section 1.7(c)(ii) and Section 1.7(c)(iii) shall apply mutatis mutandis. If Seller does not deliver a dispute notice during such ten (10) day period, then the Membership Purchase Price calculated by Buyer shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive. In the event the number of Medicaid Enrollees enrolled in the Molina Planβs health plans and D-SNP Enrollees enrolled in Sellerβs or UHCβs D-SNP plan as of the first Business Day immediately following the expiration of the Open Enrollment Period is equal to or less than the Membership Threshold, then the Membership Purchase Price shall be zero. Subject to Section 1.7(c), within three (3) Business Days following the final determination of the Membership Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay the Membership Purchase Price to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by Seller. Buyer shall ensure that the Molina Plan shall not take any action, or omit to take any action, in violation of applicable Legal Requirements or otherwise in breach or violation of any Contract to which the Molina Plan is a party which would reasonably be expected to result in a material decrease in the number of Enrollees as of the expiration of the Open Enrollment Period. (c) In the event that the Required Medicaid Regulatory Approvals are obtained and the Medicaid Novation has been consummated prior to January 1, 2021, then: (i) no later than July 31, 2021, Buyer shall deliver to Seller an income statement of the Business (the βIncome Statementβ) for the period of time between the Closing Date and January 1, 2021 (the βInterim Periodβ), together with Buyerβs calculation of Operating Income derived therefrom. The Total Medical Expenses set forth on the Income Statement shall reflect the aggregate dollar amount of (A) the total amount of Medical Claims incurred during the Interim Period which are paid by June 30, 2021, (B) all recoveries and repayments of Medical Claims incurred during the Interim Period and paid prior to January 1, 2021 which are applied, credited, offset or received by June 30, 2021 (including repayments or recoveries received or due for overpayments, from reinsurance and stop-loss coverage, subrogation and coordination of benefits), and (C) a good-faith estimate of net Medical Claims outstanding for claims incurred during the Interim Period and that have not been paid by June 30, 2021, which such good faith net estimate shall be prepared in accordance with actuarial sound practices and shall take into account gross payments outstanding less any potential recoveries outstanding. -6-

(ii) Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Income Statement is delivered to Seller (the βReview Periodβ) to review the Income Statement and calculation of Operating Income derived therefrom. During such Review Period, Buyer shall (A) provide Seller and its Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the relevant books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents) and supporting data of the Molina Plan for purposes of their review of the Income Statement and (B) reasonably cooperate with all reasonable written requests of Seller and its Representatives in connection with such review, including by providing all readily available relevant information in connection with Sellerβs review of the Income Statement as is reasonably requested in writing by Seller or its Representatives. The Income Statement delivered by Buyer to Seller shall be final, binding and conclusive unless Seller delivers written notice to Buyer prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the last day of the Review Period that it objects to any item or items shown or reflected in the Income Statement (an βObjection Noticeβ), which Objection Notice shall identify the specific items and calculations that Seller disagrees with and specifies in reasonable detail Sellerβs calculation of such amount and Sellerβs grounds for such disagreement. The Income Statement of Buyer shall be final, binding and conclusive as to all items and calculations that Seller does not timely disagree with pursuant to this Section 1.7(c)(ii). (iii) If an Objection Notice shall be duly delivered, Buyer and Seller shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, use their good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such agreement during such period, they shall within thirty (30) days cause a neutral independent accounting firm of national renown mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the βIndependent Accountantβ) promptly to review the disputed items or amounts. The Independent Accountant shall make its determination based exclusively on presentations and supporting material provided by Buyer and Seller promptly following the engagement of the Independent Accountant and not pursuant to any independent review. Conclusions shall be determined by the Independent Accountant within thirty (30) days following delivery of the last brief timely submitted and shall be final, binding and conclusive as to such matters; provided, however, that the Independent Accountant shall select either the position of Buyer or Seller (as contained in the supporting brief) as a resolution for each item or amount disputed and may not impose an alternative resolution with respect to any item or amount disputed and must resolve the matter in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the aggregate dollar value of the items set forth in the Objection Notice not awarded to Buyer and Seller bears to the amount actually contested by such Party. For example, if Seller claims that the aggregate appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Buyer and if the Independent Accountant ultimately resolves such items by awarding to Seller $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated 30% (i.e., 300 Γ· 1,000) to Buyer and 70% (i.e., 700 Γ· 1,000) to Seller.

If Operating Income is equal to or greater than Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000), then there will be no payment due under this Section 1.7(c)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to make any payment under this Section 1.7(c)(iv) prior to August 31, 2021. -7-

If, within twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Allocation, Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects to the allocation set forth in the Allocation, Buyer and Seller shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) days. In the event that Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) days, Buyer and Seller shall each report the amount and allocation of the Tax Purchase Price in accordance with its own separate determination.
