terminate in full and cease to be exercisable.

 (b) Method of Exercise. 

(i) Subject to Section 4(a) of this Agreement and notwithstanding Section 6.4 of the Plan, the Vested Portion of an
Option may be exercised (in whole or in part) by delivering to the Company at its principal office written notice of intent to so exercise; provided that, the Option may be exercised with respect to whole Shares only. Such notice shall
specify the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price. The payment of the Option Price may be made at the election of the Participant (i) in cash or its equivalent
(e.g., by check or, if permitted by the Committee, a full-recourse promissory note), (ii) in Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other reasonable
requirements as may be imposed by the Committee; provided, that such Shares have been held by the Participant for any period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying generally accepted
accounting principles, (iii) partly in cash and partly in such Shares, (iv) if there is a public market for the Shares at such time, to the extent permitted by the Committee and subject to such rules as may be established by the Committee,
through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate option price for the Shares
being purchased, or (v) using a net settlement mechanism whereby the number of Shares delivered upon the exercise of the Option will be reduced by a number of Shares that has a Fair Market Value equal to the Option Price. The Participant shall
not have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares and, if applicable, has satisfied
any other conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan
or this Agreement to the contrary, absent an available exemption to registration or qualification, an Option may not be exercised prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of an Option or the Shares under applicable state and
federal securities or other laws, or under any ruling or regulation of any governmental body or national securities exchange that the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine to be necessary or advisable; provided, that the Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to register or qualify the Shares subject to the Option so it may be exercised. 

(iii) Upon the Company’s determination that an Option has been validly exercised as to any of the Shares, the Company may
issue certificates in the Participant’s name for such Shares. However, the Company shall not be liable to the Participant for damages relating to any delays in issuing the certificates to the Participant, any loss by the Participant of the
certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the certificates themselves.

 (iv) In the event of the Participant’s death, the Vested Portion of an
Option shall remain exercisable by the Participant’s executor or administrator, or the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under this Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution as the case may
be, to the extent set forth in Section 4(a) of this Agreement. Any heir or legatee of the Participant shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions hereof. 

(v) As a condition to the exercise of any Option evidenced by this Agreement, the Participant shall execute the
Stockholders’ Agreement designated by the Committee (provided that, if the Participant is already a party to the Stockholders’ Agreement, then the Shares acquired under the Option shall automatically become subject to such agreements
without any further action). 
 (c) Shares Issued Upon Exercise. Notwithstanding anything in the Stockholders’ Agreement to the
contrary, the Company and the Participant hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company shall only exercise the call rights set forth in Section 6.1(a)(iv) of the Stockholders’ Agreement with respect to Shares received
by the Participant pursuant to exercise of this Option if the Participant resigns his or her employment without Good Reason (and, for the avoidance of doubt, other than upon death or Disability) prior to the date that is eighteen months after the
first day of the Participant’s Employment with the Company (inclusive of prior service with Change Healthcare, Inc. or McKesson). 
 5.
Confidential Information; Post-Employment Obligations. 
 (a) Terms of Agreement. The terms of this Agreement constitute
confidential information, which Participant shall not disclose to anyone other than Participant’s spouse, attorneys, tax advisors, or as required by law. The Company and its Affiliates (which for purposes of this Section 5 will include the
JV and its Affiliates) may disclose the terms of this Agreement, provided, that for the purposes of this Section 5, Blackstone Group, L.P., Hellman & Friedman LLC, McKesson and any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Company
and its Subsidiaries and the JV and its Subsidiaries) shall not be considered “Affiliates” of the Company. 
 (b) Restrictive
Covenants. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant has agreed to certain covenants regarding non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, confidentiality, and other restrictions, which are contained herein or are hereby incorporated by reference, which are in consideration for Participant’s receiving the grant of the Option
under this Agreement and right to benefits upon certain terminations of Employment as provided in Section 3(b), receiving other benefits provided in this Agreement and elsewhere, and access to Confidential Information of the Company Group. For
this purpose, “Confidential Information” means and includes the confidential and/or proprietary information and/or trade secrets of the Company (and/or the JV) that have been developed or used and/or will be developed and that cannot be
obtained readily by third parties from outside sources, and any references to “affiliates” in any provisions or agreements related to non-disparagement entered into by the Participant shall be deemed
to include The Blackstone Group, L.P., Hellman & Friedman LLC, and McKesson.

 6. Repayment of Proceeds. If the Participant’s Employment is terminated by a
Service Recipient for Cause or a Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs, or a Service Recipient discovers after a termination of Employment that grounds for a termination with Cause existed at the time thereof, then Participant shall be required to
pay to the Company or the Company’s designee, within 10 business days’ of the request to the Participant therefor so long as such request is provided to the Participant within the 18 months immediately following the Participant’s
termination of Employment (or in the case of a Restrictive Covenant Violation, 18 months from the date of the Service Recipient’s actual knowledge of such Restrictive Covenant Violation), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the
aggregate after-tax proceeds (taking into account all amounts of tax that would be recoverable upon a claim of loss for payment of such proceeds in the year of repayment) Participant received upon the sale or
other disposition of, or distributions in respect of, Shares acquired under any Option over (b) the aggregate price paid by Participant for such Shares. Any reference in this Agreement to grounds existing for a termination with Cause shall be
determined without regard to any notice period, cure period or other procedural delay or event required prior to finding of, or termination for, Cause. The foregoing remedy shall not be exclusive. 

7. No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Participant the right to be
retained in the employ of, or in any consulting relationship to, the Service Recipient. Further, the Service Recipient may at any time dismiss the Participant or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the
Plan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. 
 8. Legend on Certificates. The certificates representing the
Shares purchased by exercise of an Option shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed or quoted or market to which the Shares are admitted for trading and, any applicable federal or state or any other applicable laws and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

9. Transferability. An Option may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the
Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate;
provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. No such permitted transfer of an Option to heirs or legatees of the Participant shall be
effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee
or transferees of the terms and conditions thereof. During the Participant’s lifetime, an Option is exercisable only by the Participant. 

  
 6 













 10. Withholding. Upon the exercise of any Option, or at any such time as required
under applicable law, the Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate in cash and the Company or its Affiliates shall have the right and are authorized to, withhold any applicable withholding taxes in respect of an Option,
its exercise, or any payment or transfer under or with respect to an Option and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at any time when the Company’s Shares are listed on a national or regional securities exchange or market system, or Share prices are quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, the Participant may elect to have such withholding
obligation satisfied by surrendering to the Company or any Affiliate a number of Shares obtained upon the exercise of an Option having a Fair Market Value equal to or greater than the minimum applicable amount necessary to satisfy Federal, state,
local or foreign withholding tax requirements, liabilities and obligations, if any (but which may in no event be greater than the maximum statutory withholding amounts in the Participant’s jurisdiction), and the Shares so surrendered by the
Participant shall be credited against any such withholding obligation at the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such surrender. 

11. Securities Laws. Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option, the Participant will make or enter into
such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Agreement.
