[address]

Dear Rod:

As discussed, effective December 31, 2020, your employment will be transferred from Change Healthcare Technologies, LLC to Change Healthcare Canada Company in Vancouver, British Columbia, including the transfer of all accrued seniority, which you agree constitutes as valuable and sufficient consideration for entering into this Agreement. This letter agreement (“Agreement”) is intended to confirm the terms of your employment with Change Healthcare Canada Company (together with its affiliates, the “Company”).

You acknowledge that your employment offer letter with Change Healthcare Technologies, LLC, signed on February 17, 2020, is hereby terminated, as of the date of the transfer of employment to Change Healthcare Canada Company, and the terms and conditions of your employment will be governed exclusively by this Agreement and the terms, conditions and benefits regarding tax equalization as provided in your International Assignment letter dated January 1, 2020 and Change Healthcare’s International Long-Term Assignment Policy for the long-term assignment that ended on March 15, 2020, even though you are not currently on a long-term assignment. Accordingly, if any net amounts paid or advanced to you are determined to result in an overpayment, you are still required to return such overpayment to Change Healthcare. In addition, you are entitled to continuing tax return assistance for the tax years in which you were on assignment (including 2020) and tax equalization through March 15, 2020.

The details of your offer are as follows:

1. Position and Responsibilities. You will be an overtime exempt employee, continuing to serve in the position of EVP and President, Software and Analytics. You will be based in Vancouver, British Columbia and will report to Neil de Crescenzo, CEO, or other person as may be designated by the Company from time to time. You will assume and discharge all responsibilities commensurate with such position and as your manager may direct. You acknowledge that you may be required to travel in connection with the performance of your duties.

2. Compensation

Annual incentive payouts are calculated based on your fiscal year-end Company performance and your individual performance and will be paid in accordance with the Company’s annual incentive plan distribution schedule.

The payment of an AIP in one year or in a series of years does not imply or guarantee that you will continue to receive an AIP in future year(s), nor does it imply or guarantee the amount of any such future AIPs, if awarded.

The AIP is designed to reward employees for actual contributions to the performance of the Company. As such, unless otherwise mandated by applicable employment standards legislation, no notice period, whether given by you as notice of resignation or by the Company as notice of termination (or which a court or tribunal determines ought to have been given by the Company) shall extend your eligibility to receive an AIP (or any other bonus or incentive) even if your employment is terminated ‘without cause’. Accordingly, you shall have no claim or entitlement, whether at common law or otherwise, to receive compensation or damages for the loss of an AIP or any other bonus or incentive, or the opportunity to earn them.

c. Equity. Your job continues to be eligible for consideration to participate in the Company’s Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Program. LTI awards are nominations made at the discretion of leadership based on your overall performance and contribution to the business and your expected future potential as a growth leader and are contingent upon the approval of the Board of Directors. Participation in the Long-Term Incentive program is never guaranteed and is made for limited positions at Change Healthcare. Receiving an award in a given year does not guarantee that you will receive an award every year.

3. Overtime Eligibility. Your position is classified as overtime exempt. For all hours worked, employees classed as overtime exempt will be compensated by the established base salary and various benefits programs; employees will have no set hours of work in your position but the Company expects you to work such hours as are required to ensure timely and efficient completion of your duties.

4. Health and Wellness. You will continue to be eligible for benefit coverage under the company’s health and welfare insurance plans commensurate with your role , in accordance with the terms of such plans, as amended by the Company or the benefit providers offering the plans from time to time. You acknowledge that the Company provides access to benefits only and does not warrant their provision.

You will be entitled to annual vacation leave as provided under the Company’s employee vacation policy as may be amended at the sole discretion of the Company.

5. Employment Eligibility. You represent that you are legally eligible to work in British Columbia. The duties, as well as the job title referenced above, may be altered at the sole discretion of the Company. You shall work under the direction and supervision of your manager or any other such person as the Company may designate from time to time.

6. Standards and Devotion. You agree that you shall at all times during the term of this Agreement, faithfully and diligently perform your duties in a professional manner. You agree that while providing services to the Company you will not engage in or become connected with any other business for remuneration or any other non-remunerative work which will interfere with the performance of your

9. Employment Standards Poster. To help ensure that employees understand their rights under the Employment Standards Act, the British Columbia Ministry of Labour has prepared and published a poster entitled “Working in B.C.”, a copy of which may be obtained here https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/employment-business-and-economic-development/employment-standards-workplace-safety/employment-standards/factsheets-pdfs/working_in_bc_poster.pdf

(a) by mutual consent;

(b) by you, by giving the Company at least two (2) weeks of written notice, which, subject to any statutory requirements to the contrary, the Company may waive in whole or in part, in which case any compensation and perks that you enjoy will cease on the day that the Company waived such notice;

(c) by the Company, without any notice or pay in lieu of notice, if you breach this employment contract or the Company otherwise has just cause to terminate your employment (unless notice or pay in lieu of notice is required by the British Columbia Employment Standards Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, in which case you shall receive only the minimum amount of statutory notice of termination or pay in lieu of such notice (or some combination of the two), benefits coverage continuation (if applicable), and statutory severance pay (if applicable), as is required by the British Columbia Employment Standards Act, R.S.B.C. 1996 (as amended) or,

(d) Without Cause. The terms and conditions under the U.S. Executive Severance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) will govern your entitlements upon termination without cause, with necessary modifications to ensure compliance with British Columbia law. Accordingly, the Company reserves the right to terminate your employment under this Agreement without cause, at any time, for any lawful reason other than a Change in Control, by providing you with the following:

i. A payment equal to twelve (12) months of your annualized Remuneration which is in effect on the date of termination; and

ii. Continued coverage on the company’s Canadian medical, dental and prescription drug plans on the same terms as active employees during the twelve (12) month period following your termination.

Notwithstanding the above, if your termination occurs upon a Change in Control (as defined herein), or within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, you shall also receive:

iii. The bonus you would have received under the Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) in effect at the time of your termination, at one times your full target payout rate for the year in which the termination occurs.

You agree and acknowledge that your entitlement described under Section 10(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) (as applicable) is conditional upon you signing a full and final release in favor of the Company on the form provided by the Company at the time of such termination (“Release”) and within such time period required by the Company.

The Release will, inter alia, provide for a general release of and all claims relating to your hiring by, your employment with, and the termination of your employment by the Company, and shall release the Company from all possible claims through and including the date of execution

If you fail or refuse to sign the Release, you will not be entitled to the payment described under Section 10(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) (if applicable) but instead you will be entitled to only the minimum amount of statutory notice of termination or pay in lieu of such notice (or some combination of the two), benefits coverage continuation, as is required by the British Columbia Employment Standards Act, R.S.B.C. 1996 (as amended), along with any and all other minimum entitlements upon termination which may be required by the British Columbia Employment Standards Act, R.S.B.C. 1996 (as amended), and nothing more. For clarity, in such case, you shall not be entitled to any additional amounts because of the termination of your employment, including pursuant to the “common law”.

For the purposes of Section 10(d)(iii) of the Agreement, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Change Healthcare Inc. US Severance Guidelines.

Since bonus or any other incentive compensation and fringe benefits or outstanding stock options, restricted stock units or other equity grants are intended to reward employees for actual contributions to the performance of the Company and foster retention of employees, they shall not form part of your termination/severance entitlements (except to the extent described above), unless

that is mandated by the British Columbia Employment Standards Act (as amended) and you shall have no right to claim damages in relation to the cessation of your participation in such plans. Accordingly, upon the termination of your employment (regardless of the reason, and notwithstanding anything in such plans that could be construed otherwise), you will receive only what is mandated by the British Columbia Employment Standards Act (as amended) in relation to such plans, and no more than that. Accordingly, you will cease to be eligible to participate in the Company’s incentive and fringe benefit plans on the later of either (i) the end of any applicable statutory notice period prescribed by the British Columbia Employment Standards Act (as amended) during which participation in such plans must continue, or (ii) as soon as your active employment ends if the Company elects to provide you with any working notice.

11. Policies. The Company has a number of policies and procedures that apply to employees during the course of their employment. Most of these policies are contained on the Company’s intranet to which you will be provided access. All employees are required to follow the policies and procedures that are in effect. The Company reserves the right to alter the policies and procedures upon reasonable notice to you.

12. Employment Standards Act. In the event that the minimum standards in the British Columbia Employment Standards Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, as amended from time to time, are more favorable to you, including but not limited to the provisions herein in respect of notice of termination, minimum wage or vacation entitlement than provided for in this Agreement, the provisions of the British Columbia Employment Standards Act shall apply but the Agreement shall remain in force and shall be deemed to be amended only by such increases in the British Columbia Employment Standards Act and nothing more.
