EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


 


THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered
into this 28th day of March 2014, by and between Apollo Medical Management, Inc., a California corporation (the “Employer”),
and Warren Hosseinion, M.D. (the “Employee”). Together, the Employer and Employee are collectively the Parties.


 


In consideration of
the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:


 


1.           Employment.
The term of this Agreement shall commence as of April 1, 2014 (the “Commencement Date”) and continue thereafter
for a period of one year. The term of this Agreement shall automatically extended for subsequent one year terms renewing on each
respective anniversary of the Commencement Date (the date of each such renewal shall be the “Renewal Date”), unless,
not less than 60 days prior to each such Renewal Date, either party shall have given notice to the other that the Agreement will
not be renewed. Each term of this Agreement, beginning with the Commencement Date or any subsequent Renewal Date, shall be subject
to termination as provided in Section 4 and may be referred to herein as the “Term.”


 


2.           Positions
and Duties. During the Term, the Employee shall serve as a senior executive of the Employer. The Employee shall devote such
working time and efforts as may be necessary to the business and affairs of the Employer.


 


3.           Compensation
and Related Matters.


 


(a)          Base
Salary. The Employer shall pay the Employee for all services rendered a base salary of $200,000 per year, (the “Base
Salary”), payable in accordance with the Employer’s payroll procedures, subject to customary withholdings and employment
taxes. The Base Salary may be re-evaluated annually at the sole discretion of the Employer and may be increased at the sole discretion
of the Employer.


 


(b)          Incentive
Compensation. The Employee shall be entitled to participate in any Employer incentive compensation plans as are now available
or may become available to other similarly positioned employees of the Employer. The Employee’s entitlement to a bonus under
any such plan is governed by the terms of that plan.


 


(c)          Equity
Awards. The Employee shall be eligible to participate in the any stock plan available to similarly positioned executives (collectively,
the “Stock Plan”). From time to time, the Company’s Board may, in its sole discretion, grant stock options
or other equity compensation to the Employee pursuant to the Stock Plan.


 


(d)          Paid
Time Off. During the term, the Employee shall be entitled to 20 days of paid time off (“PTO”) per calendar
year which shall be accrued ratably during the calendar year, to be taken at such times and intervals as shall be agreed to by
the Employer and the Employee in their reasonable discretion. Employee shall be entitled to accrue a maximum of 20 days of paid
time off. When the maximum accrual is reached, no more PTO time will accrue until Employee uses one or more accrued PTO days.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


(e)          Expenses.
The Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of Employer. Employer agrees to maintain an insurance
policy providing reasonable and customary insurance coverage for errors and omissions of its directors and officers made in the
course and scope of employment with Employer at no cost to Employee.


 


(f)           Other
Benefits. During the Term, the Employee shall be entitled to continue to participate in or receive benefits under any employee
benefit plan or arrangement which is or may, in the future, be made available by the Employer to its employees, subject to and
on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plan or arrangement. These benefits will include,
but are not limited to payment of insurance premiums for short-term and long-term disability insurance providing for no less than
60% of Employee’s base salary compensation to be payable to the employee as long as the disability persists that substantially
prevents employment in the same occupation as the position Employee last held with Employer but not beyond age 70.


 


(g)          Tax
Withholding. The Employer shall undertake to make deductions, withholdings and tax reports with respect to payments and benefits
under this Agreement, to the extent it reasonably and in good faith believes it is required to make such deductions, withholdings
and tax reports. Payments under this Agreement shall be in amounts net of any such deductions or withholdings. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to require the Employer to make any payments to compensate the Employee for any adverse tax effect
associated with any payments or benefits, or for any deduction or withholding from any payment or benefit.


 


4.           Termination.
The Employee’s employment hereunder may be terminated without any breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances:


 


(a)          Death.
The Employee’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon the Employee’s death.


 


(b)          Disability.
The Employer may terminate the Employee’s employment if the Employee is disabled and, because of the disability, is unable
to perform the essential functions of the Employee’s then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without
reasonable accommodation. This provision is not intended to reduce any rights the Employee may have pursuant to any law, including
without limitation the California Family Rights Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing
Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Any termination by the Employer of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination
for Cause under Section 4(c) and does not result from the death or disability of the Employee under Sections 4(a) or (b) shall
be deemed a termination without Cause.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


(e)          Termination
by the Employee. At any time during the Term, the Employee may terminate his employment hereunder for any reason, including
but not limited to Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that the Employee has
complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following
events: (i) a material diminution in the Employee’s responsibilities, authority or duties;; or (ii) the material breach of
this Agreement by the Employer. “Good Reason Process” shall mean (i) the Employee reasonably determines in good
faith that a “Good Reason” condition has occurred; (ii) the Employee notifies the Employer in writing of the occurrence
of the Good Reason condition within 60 days of the occurrence of such condition; (iii) the Employee cooperates in good faith with

of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean the earliest of the following: (i) if the Employee’s
employment is terminated by the Employee’s death, the date of the Employee’s death; (ii) if the Employee’s employment

the foregoing, in the event that the Employee gives a Notice of Termination to the Employer, the Employer may unilaterally accelerate
the Date of Termination but such acceleration shall nevertheless be deemed a termination by the Employee on the accelerated date
for purposes of this Agreement.


 


5.           Compensation
Upon Termination.


 


(a)          Termination
or Nonrenewal Generally. If the Employee’s employment with the Employer is terminated for any reason during the Term,
or if the Term is not renewed, the Employer shall pay or provide the Employee (or the Employee’s authorized representative
or estate) any earned but unpaid Base Salary for services rendered through the Date of Termination, unpaid expense reimbursements,
and accrued but unused paid time off (the “Accrued Benefits”) within the time prescribed by California law.
With respect to vested benefits the Employee may have under any employee benefit plan of the Employer, payment will be made to
the Employee under the terms of the applicable plan.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


(b)          Termination
by the Employer Without Cause or by the Employee With Good Reason. If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the
Employer without Cause as provided in Section 4(d), or the Employee terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section
4(e), or the Employer provides notice of intent not to renew pursuant to Section 1, then the Employer shall, through the Date of
Termination, pay the Employee his or her Accrued Benefits, and any of the Employee’s vested benefits under any employee benefit
plan of the Employer shall be paid to the Employee under the terms of the applicable plan. If the Employee signs a general release
of claims in a form and manner satisfactory to the Employer (an example of which is attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement)
(the “Release”) within 21 days of the receipt of the form of the Release (extended to 45 days in the event
of a group termination or exit incentive program) and does not revoke such Release during the seven-day revocation period:


 


(i)          the
Employer shall pay the Employee an amount equal to four weeks of Employee’s most recent Base Salary for every full year of
Employee’s active employment by Employer, but such amount shall be no less than six months worth and no more than one year’s
worth of the Employee’s most recent Base Salary (the “Severance Amount”). To the extent the that
such Severance Amount exceeds the 409A Separation Pay Limit (as defined below), such amount shall be paid in a single lump sum
on the regular payroll date of the Employer, pertaining to then current salaried employees of the Employer, (“payroll date”)
next following the first anniversary date of the Employee’s Date of Termination or first permissible date afterward. The
portion of the Severance Amount that does not exceed the 409A Separation Pay Limit shall be paid in substantially equal amounts
on each payroll date in accordance with the Employer’s normal payroll practices over consecutive periods of three months
for each year of Base Salary that is due as the Severance Amount, beginning on the first payroll date after the Date of Termination
or expiration of the seven-day revocation period of the Release, if later, provided, however, that all such payments shall be concluded
prior to the last day of the second (2d) taxable year of the Employee following the taxable year of the Employee in which the Employee
has a separation from service as defined in Section 409A; and


 


(ii)         the
Employer shall pay the Employee an amount equal to the Employer’s premium amounts paid for coverage of Employee at the time
of the Employee’s termination of coverage under the Employer’s group medical, dental and vision programs for a period
of twelve (12) months, to be paid directly to the Employee at the same times such payments would be paid on behalf of a current
employee for such coverage; provided, however:


 


(A) No payments shall be made
under this paragraph (ii) unless the Employee timely elects continued coverage under such plan(s) pursuant to the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 as amended (“COBRA”);


 


(B) This paragraph (iii) shall
not be read or construed as placing any restrictions upon amounts paid under this paragraph (ii) as to their use;


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


(C) Payments under this paragraph
(iii) shall cease as of the earliest to occur of the following:


 


(1) the Employee is no longer
eligible for and continuing to receive the COBRA coverage elected in subparagraph (A);


 


(2) the time period set forth
in the first sentence of this paragraph (iii),


 


(3) the date on which the Employee
first becomes eligible to enroll in a group health plan in which eligibility is based on employment with an employer, and


 


(4) if the Employer in good faith
determines that payments under this paragraph (iii) would result in a discriminatory health plan pursuant to the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended.


 


(iii)        Each
individual payment of Severance Amount under Section 5.b.(ii), and each payment under Section 5.b.(iii), of this Agreement, shall
be deemed to be a separate “payment” for purposes and within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).


 


(iv)        Each
individual payment of the Severance Amount under Section 5.b.(ii), and each payment under Section 5.b.(iii), of this Agreement,
which are considered “non-qualified deferred compensation” (“NQDC”) under Section 409A shall be
made on the date(s) provided herein and no request to accelerate or defer any such payment under this Agreement shall be considered
or approved for any reason whatsoever, except as permitted under Section 409A and as the Employer allows in its sole discretion.
The Employer may in its sole discretion accelerate or defer (but not beyond the time limit set forth below) any severance payments
which do not constitute NQDC in order to allow for the payment of taxes due, but not beyond the time limit specified for such payment
such that the payment would be treated as NQDC. Subject to the requirements of Section 409A, if any payment of severance payment
under Section 5.b.(ii), or reimbursement under Section 5.b.(iii), of this Agreement is determined in good faith by the Employer
to constitute NQDC payable to a “specified employee” as defined under Section 409A, then the Employer shall make any
such payment not earlier than the earlier of: (x) the date which is six (6) months following the Employee’s separation from
service with the Employer, or (y) the date of Employee’s death.


 


(v)         for
purposes of this Section 5, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
the regulations thereunder.


 


(vi)        for
purposes of this Section 5, “409A Separation Pay Limit” means two times the lesser of (x) the Employee’s
Base Salary plus bonus earned from services provided to the Employer during the calendar year preceding the year of the termination
of employment; and (y) the adjusted compensation limit under Code section 401(a)(17) in effect for the year of the termination.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Employee breaches this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 6 of this Agreement, all payments of the Severance Amount
and the Employer’s payment for medical, dental, and vision insurance continuation shall immediately cease.


 


6.           Confidential

(b)          Confidential
Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information belonging to the Employer
or its Affiliates which is of value to the Employer or any of its Affiliates in the course of conducting its business (whether
having existed, now existing, or to be developed or created during Employee’s employment by Employer) and the disclosure
of which could result in a competitive or other disadvantage to the Employer or its Affiliates. Confidential Information includes,
without limitation, contract terms and rates; negotiating and contracting strategies; facility participation status; financial
information, reports, and forecasts; inventions, improvements and other intellectual property; product plans or proposed product
plans; trade secrets; know how; designs, processes or formulae; software; market or sales information, plans or strategies; employee,

in this Agreement, or unless due to violation of another person’s obligations to the Employer or its Affiliates that Employee
should have taken reasonable measures to prevent but that Employee did not take..


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


(c)          Confidentiality.

the ordinary course of performing the Employee’s duties to the Employer. Employee understands and agrees not to sell, license
or otherwise exploit any products or services which embody or otherwise exploit in whole or in part any Confidential Information
or materials. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the sale, misappropriation, or unauthorized use or disclosure in writing, orally

that any documents, card files, notebooks, programs, or similar items containing customer or patient information are the property
of the Employer and its Affiliates regardless of by whom they were compiled.


 


(e)          Disclosure

of and for use in the Employer’s and its Affiliate’s business, and consistent with the Employee’s duties with
the Employer. The Employee further agrees that copies of Confidential Information shall be treated with the same degree of confidentiality
as the original information and shall be subject to all restrictions herein.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


(h)          No
“Moonlighting”. During the Employee’s employment with the Employer, the Employee agrees not to accept or
continue in any job, consulting work, directorship, or employment that may conflict with Employee’s duties and responsibilities
to Employer, including the duty of loyalty, without the written approval of senior management of the Employer. Without limitation,
Employee’s employment with the following shall not be deemed a violation of this provision: ApolloMed Hospitalists, Inc.


 


(i)           Computer

Affiliate’s computer resources (both on and off the Employer’s premises) for which the Employee has been authorized

intellectual property rights for Proprietary Inventions in any and all countries during the Term, and thereafter for as long as
such intellectual property rights exist.


   




NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEES


 


Pursuant to California Labor Code §
2872, an agreement requiring the employee to assign or offer to assign any of his or her rights in any invention to his or her
employer does not apply to an invention which qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code § 2870, which
provides as follows:


 


(a) Any provision in an employment agreement
which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer
shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s
equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:


 


(1) Relate at the time of conception or
reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development
of the employer; or


 


(2) Result from any work performed by the
employee for the employer.


 


(b) To the extent a provision in an employment
agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision
(a), the provision is against the public policy of the State of California and is unenforceable.





 






    	 



    	 



    

 


(l)          Nonsolicitation.
Employee agrees and covenants that, at any time during Employee’s employment with the Employer and for a period of twelve
(12) months immediately following the termination of Employee’s relationship with the Employer for any reason, whether with
or without cause, Employee shall not, either on Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person: (i) solicit the services
of or entice away, directly or indirectly, any person employed or engaged by or otherwise providing services to the Employer or
its Affiliates (this provision does not prohibit the Employee’s post-termination acceptance of unsolicited applications for
employment); or (ii) take any illegal action or engage in any unfair business practice, including without limitation any misappropriation
of confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information of the Employer or its Affiliates, as a result of which relations between
the Employer or its Affiliates, and any of their customers, clients, suppliers, distributors or others, may be impaired or which
might otherwise be detrimental to the business interests or reputation of the Employer or its Affiliates.


 


(m)          Third-Party
Agreements and Rights. The Employee hereby confirms that the Employee is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous
employer or other party which restricts in any way the Employee’s use or disclosure of information or the Employee’s
engagement in any business except as Employee has previously provided written notice to Employer and has attached to this Agreement.
The Employee represents to the Employer that the Employee’s execution of this Agreement, the Employee’s employment
with the Employer and the performance of the Employee’s proposed duties for the Employer will not violate any obligations
the Employee may have to any previous employer or other party. In the Employee’s work for the Employer, the Employee will
not disclose or use any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party,
and the Employee will not bring to (by any means) the premises of the Employer any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public
information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party.


 


(n)          Litigation
and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Employee’s employment, the Employee shall cooperate fully with the Employer
in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or that may be brought in the future against or on behalf
of the Employer that relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Employee was employed by the Employer. The Employee’s
full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel
to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Employer at mutually convenient times. During and after
the Employee’s employment, the Employee also shall cooperate fully with the Employer in connection with any investigation
or review of any federal, state, or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences
that transpired while the Employee was employed by the Employer. The Employer shall reimburse the Employee for any reasonable out
of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Employee’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section. “Full
cooperation” shall not be construed to in any way require any violation of law or any testimony that is false or misleading.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


(o)          Enforcement;
Injunction. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary
to protect the business and interests of the Employer and its Affiliates, do not create any undue hardship for the Employee, and
that any violation of the restrictions in this Agreement would cause the Employer and its Affiliates substantial irreparable injury.
Accordingly, the Employee agrees that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of the covenants or other obligations
in Section 6 this Agreement would be inadequate and that the Employer, in addition to any other remedies available, shall be entitled
to obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to secure specific performance of such covenants and to prevent a breach
or contemplated or threatened breach of this Agreement without the necessity of proving actual damage and without the necessity
of posting bond or security, which the Employee expressly waives. Moreover, the Employee will provide the Employer a full accounting
of all proceeds and profits received by the Employee as a result of or in connection with a breach of Section 6 this Agreement.
Unless prohibited by law, the Employer shall have the right to retain any amounts otherwise payable by the Employer to the Employee
to satisfy any of the Employee’s obligations as a result of any breach of Section 6 of this Agreement. The Employee hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Employer and its Affiliates from and against any damages incurred by the Employer or
its Affiliates as assessed by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any breach of Section 6 of this Agreement by the
Employee. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonably attorneys’ fees and costs if it prevails in any
action to enforce Section 6 of this Agreement. It is the express intention of the parties that the obligations of Section 6 the
Agreement shall survive the termination of the Employee’s employment. The Employee agrees that each obligation specified
in Section 6 of this Agreement is a separate and independent covenant that shall survive any termination of this Agreement and
that the unenforceability of any of them shall not preclude the enforcement of any other covenants in Section 6 of this Agreement.
No change in the Employee’s duties or compensation shall be construed to affect, alter or otherwise release the Employee
from the covenants herein.


 


7.           Successors.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns,
including any corporation or entity with which or into which the Employer may be merged or which may succeed to its assets or business,
provided, however, that Employee’s obligations are personal and shall not be assigned by Employee. The Employee
consents to any assignment by the Employer of this Agreement. In the event of the Employee’s death after the Date of Termination
but prior to the completion by the Employer of all payments due to the Employee under this Agreement, the Employer shall continue
such payments to the Employee’s beneficiary designated in writing to the Employer prior to the Employee’s death (or
to the Employee’s estate, if the Employee fails to make such designation).


 


8.           Enforceability.
If any portion or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than
those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of
this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


9.           Waiver.
No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any
party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this
Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.


 


10.         Notices.
Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered
in person or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Employee at the last address for which the Employee
has provided witten notice to the Employer, or to the Employer at its main office, attention of the Human Resources.


 


11.         Publications.
Employee agrees not to submit any writing for publication or deliver any speech that contains any information relating to the business
of the Employer, unless the Employee receives advance written clearance from an authorized representative of the Employer.


 


12.         Publicity.
The Employee hereby grants to the Employer the right to use the Employee’s name and likeness, without additional consideration,
on, in and in connection with technical, marketing and/or disclosure materials published by or for the Employer for the duration
of Employee’s employment with Employer and for a reasonable period of time following the Date of Termination.


 


13.         Conflicting
Obligations and Rights. The Employee agrees to inform the Employer of any apparent conflicts between the Employee’s work
for the Employer and (a) any obligations the Employee may have to preserve the confidentiality of another’s proprietary information
or materials or (b) any rights the Employee claims to any inventions or ideas before using the same on the Employer’s behalf.
Otherwise, the Employer may conclude that no such conflict exists and the Employee agrees thereafter to make no such claim against
the Employer. The Employer shall receive such disclosures in confidence and consistent with the objectives of avoiding any conflict
of obligations and rights or the appearance of any conflict of interest.


 


14.         Notification
of New Employer. In the event that the Employee leaves the employ of the Employer, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Employee
agrees to inform any subsequent employer of the Employee’s obligations under Section 6 of this Agreement. The Employee further
hereby authorizes the Employer to notify the Employee’s new employer about the Employee’s obligations under Section
6 of this Agreement.


 


15.         Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes in all respects all prior agreements as well as all express or implied negotiations and agreements, between the parties
concerning such subject matter.


 


16.         Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Employee and by a duly authorized representative
of the Employer.


 


17.         Governing
Law. This is a California contract and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of
California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of such State.


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


18.         Obligations
of Successors. The Employer shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Employer to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Employer would be required to perform if no such succession had taken
place.


 


19.         Consent
to Jurisdiction; Forum Selection. At all times the Employee and Employer: (a) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Los Angeles Superior Court and United States District Court for the Central District of California, whichever may have competent
subject matter jurisdiction, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and irrevocably agree that
all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court; (b) to the extent permitted by
law, irrevocably consent to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such
process to such party at the address set forth in this Agreement (or otherwise on record with the Employer); (c) to the extent
permitted by law, irrevocably confirm that service of process out of such courts in such manner shall be deemed due service upon
such party for the purposes of such action or proceeding; (d) to the extent permitted by law, irrevocably waives (i) any objection
the Employee or Employer may have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any of such courts, or (ii)
any claim that the Employee or Employer may have that any such action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient
forum; and (e) to the extent permitted by law, irrevocably agrees that a final nonappealable judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.


 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has
been executed as a sealed instrument by the Employer by its duly authorized officer, and by the Employee, as of the date first
above written.

EXHIBIT A


 


Release of Claims


 


I, Warren Hosseinion,
in consideration of and subject to the performance by Apollo Medical Management, Inc. (the “Company”)
of its obligations under the Employment Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2014 (as amended from time to time, the “Agreement”),
do hereby release and forever discharge as of the date of my execution of this release (the “Release”) the Company,
its affiliated and related entities, its and their respective predecessors, successors and assigns, its and their respective employee
benefit plans and fiduciaries of such plans, and the current and former officers, directors, shareholders, employees, attorneys,
accountants and agents of each of the foregoing in their official and personal capacities (collectively, the “Released
Parties”) to the extent provided below.


 


		1.	I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted
to me under Section 5(b) of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this Release and are not salary, wages
or benefits to which I was already entitled. Such payments and benefits will not be considered compensation for purposes of any
employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or hereafter established by the Company or its affiliates.



 


		2.	Releases.



 


(a)          I
knowingly and voluntarily (on behalf of myself, my spouse, my heirs, executors, administrators, agents and assigns, past and present)
fully and forever release and discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies,
actions, causes of action, cross claims, counterclaims, demands, debts, liens, contracts, covenants, suits, rights, obligations,
expenses, judgments, compensatory damages, liquid damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys’
fees, orders and liabilities of whatever kind of nature, in law and in equity, in contract of in tort, both past and present (through
the date this General Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown, vested or contingent, suspected,
or claimed, against the Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators
or assigns, may have, which arise out of or relate to my employment with, or my separation or termination from, the Company up
to the date of my execution of this Release (including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim of violation arising under: Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967,
as amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act), the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local counterparts; or under any other federal, state
or local civil or human rights law, or under any other local state or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public
policy, contract of tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the Company; or any claim
for wrongful discharge, breach of the Agreement, infliction of emotional distress or defamation; or any claim for costs, fees,
or other expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters) (collectively, the “Claims”).


 






    	 



    	 



    

 


(b)          SECTION
1542 WAIVER. Employee agrees that all rights he may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code are hereby
waived. Section 1542 provides:


 


“A
GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME
OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”


 


Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release, Employee agrees that this Agreement is intended
to include all claims, if any, that Employee may have against the Company, and that this Agreement extinguishes those claims.


 


		3.	I represent that I have made no assignment of transfer
of any right, claim, demand, cause of action, or other matter covered by Section 2 above.



 


		4.	In signing this Release, I acknowledge and intend that
it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the claims, demands and causes of action herein above mentioned or implied.
I expressly consent that this Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and
provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected claims up to the date of my execution of this Release, if any,
as well as those relating to any other claims hereinabove mentioned. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential
and material term of this Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement.
I further agree that in the event I should bring a claim seeking damages against the Company, this Release shall serve as a complete
defense to such claims as to my rights and entitlements. I further agree that I am not aware of any pending charge or complaint
of the type described in Section 2 as of the date of my execution of this Release.



 


		5.	I agree that neither this Release, nor the furnishing
of the consideration for this Release, shall be deemed or constructed at any time to be an admission or acknowledgement by the
Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.



 


		6.	I agree and acknowledge that the provisions, conditions,
and negotiations of this Release are confidential and agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms, conditions and
negotiations of this Release, nor transfer any copy of this Release to any person or entity, other than my immediate family and
any tax, legal or other counsel or advisor I have consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as required by applicable
law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone.



 






    	 



    	 



    

 


		7.	Notwithstanding anything in the Release to the contrary,
nothing in this Release shall be deemed to affect, impair, relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims in
any respect to (i) any vested rights or other entitlements that I may have as of the date of my execution of this Release under
the Company’s 401(k) plan; (ii) any other vested rights or other entitlements that I may have as of the date of my execution
of this Release under any employee benefit plan or program, in which I participated in my capacity as an employee of the Company;
(iii) my rights under the Agreement; or (iv) my rights under the Release.



 





		8.	I understand that I continue to be bound by Section 6
of the Agreement.



 


		9.	Whenever possible, each provision of this Release shall
be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provisions of this Release are held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Release shall be reformed,
construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.



 


		10.	This Release shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of the State of California.



 


BY SIGNING THIS RELEASE, I REPRESENT
AND AGREE THAT:


 


		(i)	I HAVE READ IT CAREFULLY;



 


		(ii)	I UNDERSTAND ALL OF ITS TERMS AND KNOW THAT I AM GIVING
UP IMPORTANT RIGHTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, RIGHTS UNDER THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1967, AS AMENDED;



 


		(iii)	I VOLUNTARILY CONSENT TO EVERYTHING IN IT;



 


		(iv)	THE COMPANY IS HEREBY ADVISING ME TO CONSULT WITH AN
ATTORNEY BEFORE EXECUTING IT, I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SO CONSULT, AND HAVE AVAILED MYSELF OF SUCH ADVICE TO THE EXTENT I
HAVE DEEMED NECESSARY TO MAKE A VOLUNTARY AND INFORMED CHOICE TO EXECUTE THIE RELEASE;



 


		(v)	I HAVE HAD AT LEAST TWENTY ONE (21) DAYS [45 DAYS IN
CONNECTION WITH A GROUP TERMINATION OR EXIT INCENTIVE PLAN] FOLLOWING THE DATE OF TERMINATION OF MY EMPLOYMENT TO CONSIDER THIS
RELEASE;



 


		(vi)	CHANGES TO THIS
RELEASE, WHETHER MATERIAL OR IMMATERIAL, DO NOT RESTART THE RUNNING OF THE 21-DAY [OR 45 DAY] CONSIDERATION PERIOD;



 


		(vii)	I UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE SEVEN (7) DAYS AFTER THE EXECUTION
OF THIS RELEASE TO REVOKE IT, SUCH REVOCATION TO BE RECEIVED IN WRITING BY THE COMPANY BY THE END OF THE SEVENTH DAY AFTER THE
DATE HEREOF, AND THAT THIS RELEASE SHALL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE OR ENFORCEABLE UNTIL THE REVOCATION PERIOD HAS EXPIRED;



 






    	 



    	 



    

 


		(viii)	I HAVE SIGNED THIS RELEASE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY
AND WITH THE ADVICE OF ANY COUNSEL RETAINED TO ADVISE ME WITH RESPECT TO IT; AND



 





		(ix)	I AGREE THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS RELEASE MAY NOT BE
AMENDED, WAIVED OR MODIFIED EXCEPT BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMPANY AND BY ME.
