NextGen Healthcare, Inc.

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

Restricted Stock Award Agreement

Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (collectively, the “Award”) and in consideration of your service on the Board of Directors of NextGen Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company has awarded you a restricted stock award under its 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (formerly known as the Quality Systems, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan) (the “Plan”) for the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock subject to the Award indicated in the Grant Notice.  Except where indicated otherwise, defined terms not explicitly defined in this Restricted Stock Award Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.

The details of your Award are as follows:

1.Vesting.  Subject to the limitations contained herein and the potential vesting acceleration provisions set forth in Section 9 herein, your Award shall vest as provided in your Grant Notice, and any portion of your Award that does not vest due to either the termination of your Continuous Service shall be canceled and reacquired by the Company for no consideration.  “Vested Shares” shall mean shares that have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, and “Unvested Shares” shall mean shares that have not vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule.  The shares subject to your Award will be held by the Company in book entry position on the records of the Company until your interest in such shares vests.  As each portion of your interest in the shares vests, the Company shall issue to you appropriate evidence representing such Vested Shares, either in the form of one or more stock certificates or as uncertificated shares in electronic form, or in any combination of the foregoing.  

2.Number of Shares.  The number of shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments, as provided in Section 9(a) of the Plan.

3.Payment.  This Award was granted in consideration of your services to the Company and its Affiliates or in consideration of other legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board, in its sole discretion, and permissible under applicable law.  

4.Securities Law Compliance.  You will not be issued any shares of Common Stock under your Award unless either (a) such shares are then registered under the Securities Act or (b) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you will not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

5.Transfer Restrictions.  Prior to the time that they have vested, you may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award.  For example, you may not use shares subject to the Award that have not vested as security for a loan.  This restriction on the transfer of shares will lapse with respect to Vested Shares when such shares vest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may, by delivering written notice to the

1.


 

Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to receive Vested Shares as of the date of your death.

6.Termination of Continuous Service.   Except as subject to Section 1 hereof, in the event your Continuous Service terminates all Unvested Shares subject to your Award shall immediately be cancelled and reacquired for no consideration. Except as subject to Section 1 hereof, you will accrue no additional vesting of your Award following your termination of Continuous Service.  

7.Restrictive Legends.  The shares issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends determined by the Company as applicable.

8.Rights as a Stockholder. You shall exercise all rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares subject to your Award.  You shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares for purposes of receiving dividends which may be paid with respect to such shares and for purposes of exercising any voting rights relating to such shares, even if some or all of such shares have not yet vested.  

9.Departure from the Board.  In the event of a meeting of the Company’s shareholders, immediately following which you are no longer a member of the Company’s Board because you have not been nominated for re-election or have not been re-elected by the Company’s shareholders, the vesting of your Award will be accelerated in full; provided, however, that if your failure to be nominated or re-elected for service on the Board is a result of, in whole or in part, your misconduct or failure to fulfill your responsibilities or fiduciary duties as a director, which shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, the foregoing accelerated vesting shall not apply.    

10.Tax Consequences.   You agree to review with your own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  You shall rely solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.  You understand that you (and not the Company) shall be responsible for your own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  

11.Notices.  Any notice or request required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing to each of the other parties hereto and shall be deemed effectively given on the earlier of (i) the date of personal delivery, including delivery by express courier, or delivery via electronic means, or (ii) the date that is five (5) days after deposit in the United States Post Office (whether or not actually received by the addressee), by registered or certified mail with postage and fees prepaid, addressed at the following addresses, or at such other address(es) as a party may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to each of the other parties hereto:
