this reference. 


  

	 	(b)	 You must accept the terms of this Agreement within 10 business days after the Agreement is presented to you for

of this Agreement. 


  

	2.	 [Dividend Equivalents. In the event of any issuance of a cash dividend on the shares of Common Stock (a
“Dividend”), you shall be credited, as of the payment date for such Dividend, with an amount (a “Dividend Equivalent”) equal to the product of (i) the number of RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement and
outstanding as of the record 















	 	
date for such Dividend multiplied by (ii) the amount of the Dividend per share. Upon vesting of an RSU, the aggregate amount of the Dividend Equivalents (the “Distributable
Amount”) in respect of such vested RSU shall be distributed to you in connection with the settlement of such vested RSU either in cash or, at the discretion of the Committee, in a number of shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value
(as determined on the applicable vesting date) equal to the Distributable Amount. To the extent any RSUs are forfeited prior to vesting, the corresponding Dividend Equivalents in respect thereof shall be forfeited immediately thereupon.]


  

	3.	 Restrictions. 



 

	 	(a)	 You will have no rights or privileges of a Stockholder as to the Shares underlying the RSUs before settlement
under Section 6 below (“Settlement”), including no right to vote or receive Dividends or other distributions (other than the Dividend Equivalents as set forth above); in addition, the following terms will apply:



  

	 	(i)	 you will not be entitled to delivery of any Share certificates for the RSUs until Settlement (if at all), and
upon the satisfaction of all other terms; 


  

	 	(ii)	 you may not sell, transfer (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), assign, pledge, or
otherwise encumber or dispose of the RSUs or any rights under the RSUs before Settlement; 


  

	 	(iii)	 you will forfeit all of the RSUs and all of your rights under the RSUs will terminate in their entirety on the
terms set forth in Section 5 below and Section 11(j) below; and 


  

	 	(iv)	 no Share underlying an RSU will be considered earned until the end of the Restricted Period applicable to the
RSU.

contrary to the terms of this Agreement will be void and of no effect. 


  

	4.	 Restricted Period and Payment. The “Restricted Period” is the period beginning on the

	5.	 Forfeiture; Termination.

shall mean your Separation from Service due to a termination by the Company without Cause (other than as a result of death or Disability) or a resignation by you for Good Reason (as defined on Exhibit A attached hereto), in each case, on
or following a Change in Control.

non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law. 


  

	 	(c)	 If a certificate for Shares is delivered to you under the Award, the certificate may bear the following or a
similar legend as determined by the Company: 


 The ownership and transferability of this certificate and the shares of
stock represented hereby are subject to the terms (including forfeiture) of the Alignment Healthcare, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and an RSU award agreement entered into between the registered owner and Alignment Healthcare, Inc. Copies of such
plan and agreement are on file in the executive offices of Alignment Healthcare, Inc. 
 In addition, any stock certificates for Shares will
be subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under Applicable Law, and the Company may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any certificates to make appropriate reference to these restrictions.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock acquired in respect of any RSUs will be subject to the lock-up restrictions as set forth in Section 13.20 of the Plan (and any successor terms). 

 

	7.	 Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company may take that is related to any or all income tax, payroll
tax, or other tax-related withholding under the Plan (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items owed by you is and will remain your responsibility. The Company (a)
makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items and (b) does not commit to structure the terms of the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. You will be required to meet any
applicable tax withholding obligation in accordance with the tax withholding terms of Section 13.5 of the Plan (and any successor terms). The RSUs are intended to be exempt from Section 409A, and this Agreement will be administered and interpreted
consistently with that intent and with the terms of Section 13.16 of the Plan (and any successor terms).

copy of the Plan and have had an opportunity to review the Plan, and you agree to be bound by all of the terms of the Plan. If there is any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan will control. The authority to manage and control the
operation and administration of this Agreement and the Plan is vested in the Committee. The Committee has all powers under this Agreement that it has under the Plan. Any interpretation of this Agreement or the Plan by the Committee and any decision

contained in Section 13.21 of the Plan as of the Grant Date (and any successor terms)), and any term of Applicable Law relating to clawback, cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback, or reduction of compensation, and the Company may take such
actions as may be necessary to effectuate any such policy or Applicable Law, without further consideration or action.
