THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, ____________ or permitted and registered assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on December 8, 2022 (the “Expiration Date”), to purchase from Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), up to the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Company (the “Common Stock”) specified above (the “Warrant Number”) at an exercise price of $11.00 per Share (the “Warrant Exercise Price”) or to convert this Warrant into Shares, in each case subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant. This Warrant has been issued in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 21, 2016 (as amended on March 30, 2017 and October 17, 2017, the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, Apollo Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Network Medical Management, Inc. and Kenneth Sim, M.D. as the Shareholders’ Representative. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings given thereto in the Merger Agreement.
1. EXERCISE.
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part to purchase the Shares for cash by (a) delivering to Company, in accordance with Section 5.2, a duly executed copy of a Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 not less than sixty one (61) days prior to the date of exercise (unless the Company otherwise agrees to a shorter notice period), and (b) causing this Warrant to be delivered to Company, in accordance with Section 5.2, as soon as reasonably practicable on or following the date on which the Notice of Exercise is delivered to Company (but no later than within sixty one (61) days following the date on which the Notice of Exercise is delivered to Company). Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right provided for in Section 1.2, Holder shall, within three (3) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, also deliver to Company a certified or bank cashier’s check, wire transfer of immediately available funds (to an account designated by Company), or other form of payment acceptable to Company, in the amount of the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased.

1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant to purchase Shares for cash in accordance with Section 1.1, Holder may, at its option, from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part and without any obligation to pay the Warrant Exercise Price, into that number of Shares determined by dividing (x) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares in respect of which this Warrant is being converted minus the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price of such Shares by (y) the Fair Market Value of one (1) Share. The Fair Market Value of one (1) Share shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.3. Holder may exercise such conversion right under this Warrant in whole or in part by (a) delivering to Company, in accordance with Section 5.2, a duly executed copy of a Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix l not less than sixty one (61) days prior to the date of conversion (unless the Company otherwise agrees to a shorter notice period), and (b) causing this Warrant to be delivered to Company, in accordance with Section 5.2, as soon as reasonably practicable on or following the date on which Notice of Exercise is delivered to Company (but no later than within two (2) Trading Days following the date on which the Notice of Exercise is delivered to Company). Any reference in this Warrant to the “exercise” of this Warrant or events to occur upon or in connection with the exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, all provisions of Section 2, will apply equally and with the same equitable effect to any conversion of this Warrant even if reference is not specifically made to conversion of this Warrant.
1.3 Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Warrant, “Fair Market Value” shall mean, with respect to one (1) Share, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) the average of the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Stock on the Principal Trading Market for the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to the date on which the Notice of Exercise for exercising the conversion right under this Warrant is delivered to Company, or (b) if the Common Stock is not so listed or quoted, as reasonably determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company. As used herein, (i) “Principal Trading Market” means the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is primarily listed on and quoted for trading, and (ii) “Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE MKT, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange, OTC Pink, OTCQB or OTCQX (or any successors to any of the foregoing).
1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within three (3) Trading Days after Holder exercises under Section 1.1 or converts under Section 1.2 this Warrant and, if applicable, Company receives payment of the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price, Company shall deliver to Holder certificates (or, if consistent with Company’s practice for issuing shares of Common Stock, non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry on the records of Company or Company’s transfer agent (the “Book-Entry Shares”)) for the Shares so acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired. The Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other Person designated by Holder to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Shares for all purposes as of the date this Warrant shall have been exercised or converted. If Company fails to deliver a certificate or certificates (or, if applicable, Book-Entry Shares) for the Shares as provided herein, in addition to any other remedy available to Holder hereunder, at law or in equity, Holder shall have the right to rescind the exercise or conversion of this Warrant. The Holder acknowledges and understands that any stock certificates issued hereunder and any Warrant issued in replacement of this Warrant upon its exercise, in whole or in part, or for any other reason, shall have the legends placed thereon as appear on the first page of this Warrant.

1.5 Fractional Shares. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, and the number of Shares to be issues shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder cash in the amount computed by multiplying the fractional share interest by the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3) of a full Share.
2. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS; ADJUSTMENT IN WARRANT NUMBER AND WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE. The Warrant Exercise Price and Warrant Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.
2.1 Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If Company, at any time and from time to time, (i) takes a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive, or otherwise declares or distributes, a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (ii) splits or subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, or (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, then, in each such case, (a) the Warrant Number shall be adjusted to equal the product of (x) the Warrant Number in effect immediately prior to the adjustment multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such adjustment and the denominator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the adjustment, and (b) the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.2. As used herein, “Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities of the Company or its subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time equity securities, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock.
2.2 Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price. Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Number as provided in Section 2.1, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be equal to the product of (i) the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by (ii) the quotient of the Warrant Number in effect immediately prior to such adjustment divided by the Warrant Number in effect immediately after such adjustment.
2.3 Determination of Adjustments. Upon any event that shall require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 2, Company shall promptly calculate such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, such adjustment, the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment is based.
