Each of the Company and the Material Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Material Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

(b)          Authorization; Enforcement.

(i) Subject to the conditions of this Section 4.5(a), if the Company shall receive at any time or from time-to-time on or after January 1, 2018, one or more written requests from the Purchaser that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities (as defined in Section 4.5(b)(i)), then the Company shall effect as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days following the receipt of such written request(s), the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Purchaser requests to be registered, subject to the limitations of Section 2(b)(ii).

(iii) In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 4.5(a) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a registration subject to Section 4.5(b) hereof; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be effective.

(i)          If, at any time or from time-to-time, the Company proposes to register any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities in connection with an employee benefit plan on Form S-8 or a successor registration form, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, a registration relating to a Rule 145 transaction or a registration on any form that does not permit secondary sales) (each, an “Offering”), in each instance, the Company shall, at such time, promptly give the Purchaser written notice of such proposed registration. Upon the written request of the Purchaser given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4.5(b)(v), include in the registration statement the securities that the Purchaser has requested to be registered (“Registrable Securities”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser’s registration rights pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) shall apply to each such Offering.

(ii)         Whenever required under this Section 4.5(a) and/or (b) to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(A)         Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller thereof set forth in such registration statement;

(B)         Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement; and

(C)         Notify the holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(iii)         It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 4.5 with respect to the Registrable Securities of the selling holder that such holder shall furnish to the Company such information (as reasonably determined by the Company) regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such holder’s Registrable Securities.

(iv)         The Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to this Section 4.5 for the holder, including, without limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees, printer and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling holder, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities.

(v)         In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s securities, the Company shall not be required to include any of the holder’s securities in such underwriting unless it accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters and/or the Board of Directors, acting in good faith, determine in its and/or their sole and absolute discretion will not, jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities requested by the Purchaser to be included in such offering, exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters and/or the Board of Directors determine in its and/or their discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that amount of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and/or the Board of Directors determine in its or their discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among all selling stockholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling stockholders), but in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling holders included in the offering be reduced unless securities of all other selling stockholders are excluded entirely or such offering is the initial public offering of the Company. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder which is a holder of Registrable Securities and which is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling stockholder” and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling stockholder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling stockholder”, as defined in this sentence.

(vi)         No holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 4.5.

ARTICLE IV. INDEMNIFICATION

4.1           Indemnification.

(a)          The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, its Affiliates, and their respective directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, disbursements and expenses, as incurred) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by such Person entitled to indemnification hereunder arising out of or based upon any breach of a representation or warranty or breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company contained in this Agreement.

(b)          The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against all Losses incurred by such Person entitled to indemnification hereunder arising out of or based upon any breach of a representation or warranty or breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

4.2           Method of Asserting Indemnification for Third Party Claims. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by such indemnified party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may claim indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the obligations of the indemnifying party pursuant to this ARTICLE V except to the extent that the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party, based on the written opinion of counsel, a conflict of interest is likely to exist between the indemnifying party and such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all indemnified parties selected by such parties (which selection shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party), in each case in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party, based on the written opinion of counsel, a conflict of interest is likely to exist between the indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel. No indemnifying party, in defense of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or entry into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such action, suit, proceeding or investigation to the extent such liability is covered by the indemnity obligations set forth in this ARTICLE V. No indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or entry into any settlement without the consent of each indemnifying party.

4.3           Method of Asserting Indemnification for Other Claims. In the event any indemnified party should have a claim under Section 5.1 against the indemnifying party that does not involve a third party claim, the indemnified party shall deliver a written notification of a claim for indemnity under Section 5.1 specifying the nature of and basis for such claim, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such claim (an “Indemnity Notice”) with reasonable promptness to the indemnifying party. The failure by any indemnified party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party’s rights under Section 5.1 except to the extent that the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

4.4           Limitations on Indemnification. The maximum amount that the Company or the Purchaser can recover for Losses pursuant to this ARTICLE V for breaches of representations and warranties shall not in the aggregate exceed the Subscription Amount. The maximum amount that the Company or the Purchaser can recover for Losses pursuant to this ARTICLE V for breaches of covenants shall not in the aggregate exceed the sum of (i) the Subscription Amount plus (ii) an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) per annum of the Subscription Amount, which amount shall compound on each anniversary of the Closing Date and shall be treated under clause (i) of this Section 5.4 as part of the aggregate purchase price of the Note. Neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall have any obligation under this ARTICLE V to indemnify any Person for lost profits or for indirect, incidental, punitive, special or exemplary damages. The indemnification provided in this ARTICLE V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages available to the Company and the Purchaser for matters for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE V.

ARTICLE V.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

5.6           Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

5.7           Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the County of Los Angeles for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

If any party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

5.10         Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.

5.11         Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

5.12         Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.

5.13         Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.

5.14         Company Legal Representation. Each party hereto acknowledges that the Company has retained SEC Law Firm (“SEC Law”) to represent it and its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the transactions described herein, and that no other party has relied on SEC Law for legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions described herein.

APOLLO MEDICAL HOLDINGS, INC.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay, without deduction or offset, to the order of Alliance Apex, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Holder”), as noteholder, in lawful currency of the United States of America, at the Holder’s address determined pursuant to the notices provision below, the principal sum of Four Million Nine Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($4,990,000.00) (the “Original Principal Amount”), and to pay simple interest on the principal sum then outstanding from the date of issuance at the rate of six percent (6.0%) per annum. Subject to the provisions of this Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”), the entire then-outstanding principal and all accrued, unpaid interest thereon, together with all other costs hereunder, if any, shall be due and payable by the Company to the Holder on (i) December 31, 2017, or (ii) the date on which the Change of Control Transaction (as defined in Section 1.2 below) is terminated, whichever occurs first (the “Maturity Date”). All computations of interest under this Note shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days and calculated for the actual days elapsed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to extend the Maturity Date at any time or from time to time, which extension, if any, shall be in writing and at the Holder’s sole and absolute discretion.

1.          MANDATORY CONVERSION.

1.1           Upon the closing, on or before the Maturity Date, of the Change of Control Transaction , the Original Principal Amount of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall automatically be converted (a “Mandatory Conversion”) on the business day following such closing into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a conversion price of Ten Dollars and No Cents ($10.00) per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and other similar recapitalization transactions that occur after the date of this Note. For the avoidance of doubt, if the closing of the Change of Control Transaction has not occurred on or before the Maturity Date, then, the entire then-outstanding principal balance under this Note and all accrued, unpaid interest thereon, together with all other costs hereunder, if any, shall be due and payable by the Company to the Holder on the Maturity Date.

1.2           For purposes of this Note, the “Change of Control Transaction” shall mean any consolidation, merger, reorganization, combination or similar transaction of the Company and/or any of its affiliates with or into NMM and/or any of its affiliates, or any transaction or series of related transactions by the Company in which in excess of 50% of the Company's voting power is transferred, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to NMM and/or any of its affiliates occurs.

1.3           Notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to repay the indebtedness hereunder or issue certificates evidencing the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon any Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 1.1 above unless and until this Note is either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent for cancellation, or the Holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent in writing that the Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note.

1.4           This Note may not be converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock voluntarily by the Holder at any time or other than in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1.

1.5           Notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, if the Mandatory Conversion has not occurred on or before the Maturity Date, then, the Company shall have forty-five (45) days following the Maturity Date to repay the outstanding principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, on this Note; provided, however, that interest as provided for herein shall continue to accrue on this Note until the actual date of repayment; and moreover, repayment at such time in accordance herewith shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default under this Note.

2.          PREPAYMENT.

This Note may not be prepaid, in whole or in part, before the Maturity Date other than by and through a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 1.1.

3.          EXPENSES.

The Company shall pay to the Holder all fees and expenses incurred by such Holder in enforcing its rights under this Note, whether or not litigation is commenced.

4.          TRANSFERABILITY.

This Note shall be non-transferable for the term of the Note.

5.          WAIVER OF NOTICE.

The undersigned and all endorsers, guarantors and assignors, if any, of this Note severally waive notice of default, presentation or demand for payment and protest and notice of nonpayment or dishonor.

6.            GOVERNING LAW.

This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

7.            REPRESENTATIONS OF THE HOLDER.

In connection with the issuance of this Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a Mandatory Conversion (collectively, the “Securities”), the Holder, by its acceptance hereof, hereby further agrees, represents and warrants as follows: (i) the Holder is acquiring the Securities solely for its own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of the Securities or any portion thereof and not with any present intention of selling, offering to sell or otherwise disposing of or distributing the Securities or any portion thereof; (ii) the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Securities is being purchased for the account of the Holder; (iii) the Holder either (a) has a prior business and/or personal relationship with the Company and/or its officers and directors, or (b) by reason of its business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of its professional advisors who are unaffiliated with the Company, and who are not compensated by the Company, has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Securities; (iv) the Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and (v) the transaction under which the Holder is purchasing the Securities has not been registered under the Act, and the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

8.            DEFAULT; REMEDIES.

(a)          Event of Default Defined. The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall constitute an event of default hereunder (each, an “Event of Default”):

(i) the Company shall fail to make when due any payments on this Note;

(ii) any breach of a representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Note and/or that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of March 30, 2017, between the Company and the Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”), which remains uncured after fifteen (15) business days from the written notice thereof and which breach shall have a material adverse effect on (A) the financial condition of the Company or (B) the ability of the Company to perform under its obligations this Note and/or the Purchase Agreement;

(iii) any default in the material observance or performance by the Company of any covenant or agreement contained in this Note and/or the Purchase Agreement which default remains uncured after fifteen (15) business days after written notice thereof and which default shall have a material adverse effect on (A) the financial condition of the Company or (B) the ability of the Company to perform under its obligations this Note and/or the Purchase Agreement;

(iv) the Company shall: (A) file a voluntary petition or assignment in bankruptcy or a voluntary petition or assignment or answer seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of his debts, or any other relief under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"), or under any other act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether State, Federal, or foreign, now or hereafter existing; (B) enter into any agreement indicating consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any such petition or proceeding; (C) apply for or permit the appointment, by consent or acquiescence, of a receiver, custodian or trustee of all or a substantial part of his property; (D) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (E) be unable or shall fail to pay his debts generally as such debts become due; and

(v) there occurs (A) a filing or issuance against the Company of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of its debts or any other relief under the Bankruptcy Code, or under any other act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether State, Federal or foreign, now or hereafter existing; (B) the involuntary appointment of a receiver, liquidator, custodian or trustee of the Company or for all or a substantial part of its property; or (C) the issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution or similar process against all or any substantial part of the property of the Company and such shall not have been discharged (or provision shall not have been made for such discharge), or stay of execution thereof shall not have been procured, within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof.

(b)          Acceleration. If an Event of Default occurs under Section 9(a), then the entire outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the holder, by written notice to the Company, may declare the outstanding principal and interest under this Note to be immediately due and payable.

(c)          Remedies.

(i) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder may avail itself of any legal or equitable rights which the Holder may have at law or in equity or under this Note, including, but not limited to, the right to accelerate the indebtedness due under this Note as described in Section 9(b). The remedies of the Holder as provided herein shall be distinct and cumulative, and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of the holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise.

(ii) Forbearance by the Holder to exercise its rights with respect to any failure or breach by the Company shall not constitute a waiver of the right as to the same or any subsequent failure or breach, and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise of the same or any other right or remedy. The Holder shall have no duty to exercise any or all of the rights and remedies herein provided or contemplated. The acceptance by the Holder of any payment hereunder that is less than payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of the foregoing rights or remedies at that time, or nullify any prior exercise of any such rights or remedies without the express written consent of the Holder.

(d)          Default Rate. After maturity (by acceleration or otherwise), the unpaid balance (both as to principal and unpaid pre-maturity interest) shall bear interest at a default rate equal to the lesser of (a) three percent (3%) over the rate of interest in effect immediately prior to maturity or (ii) the then maximum legal rate allowed under the laws of the State of California.

(e)          Costs of Collection. If the Holder exercises its acceleration rights pursuant to this Note, in addition to the payment of principal and accrued interest thereon, the Company shall pay all costs of collection incurred by the Holder, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the Holder’s reasonable collection efforts, whether or not suit on this Note or other proceeding is filed or initiated.
