Exhibit 10.6

Form of

Director Restricted Stock Unit Agreement

This Director Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and between agilon health, inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Director whose name is set forth on Exhibit A hereto, is being entered into pursuant to the agilon health, inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and is dated as of the date it is accepted and agreed to by the Director in accordance with Section 6(q). Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Plan.

Section 1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby evidences and confirms its grant to the Director, effective as of the date set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Grant Date”), of the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth on Exhibit A hereto, as satisfaction of the equity portion of the Director’s annual fee for the current year. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to, and the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder are subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein. If there is any inconsistency between any express provision of this Agreement and any express term of the Plan, the express term of the Plan shall govern.

Section 2. Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested, if at all, on the first anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”), subject to the Director’s continued service as a member of the Board through such date. Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement.

(b) Effect of Termination of Service.

(i) If the Director’s service is terminated by reason of the Director’s death or Disability (such termination, a “Special Termination”), outstanding unvested Restricted Stock Units shall vest, as of the date of such Special Termination, on a pro rata basis, in an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units then held by the Director multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed from the later of the Grant Date or the most recent anniversary of the Grant Date and the denominator of which is 365. Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement.

(ii) Any Other Reason. Upon termination of the Director’s service for any reason other than a Special Termination (whether initiated by the Company or by the Director), any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited and canceled effective as of the date of such termination.


(c) Effect of a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the treatment of any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be governed by Article XIV of the Plan.

(d) Discretionary Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting with respect to any unvested Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine.

(e) No Other Accelerated Vesting. The vesting and settlement provisions set forth in this Section 2, or in Section 3, or expressly set forth in the Plan, shall be the exclusive vesting and exercisability provisions applicable to the Restricted Stock Units and shall supersede any other provisions relating to vesting and exercisability, unless such other such provision expressly refers to the Plan by name and this Agreement by name and date.

Section 3. Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Timing of Settlement. Subject to Section 6(a), any outstanding Restricted Stock Units that became vested shall be settled into an equal number of shares of Company Common Stock on a date selected by the Company that is within 30 days following the Vesting Date (the “Settlement Date”).

(b) Mechanics of Settlement. On the Settlement Date, the Company shall electronically issue to the Director one whole share of Company Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit that then became vested (except as provided in Section 6(a)), and, upon such issuance, the Director’s rights in respect of such Restricted Stock Unit shall be extinguished. In the event that there are any fractional Restricted Stock Units that became vested on such date, such fractional Restricted Stock Units shall be settled through a cash payment equal to the portion of Restricted Stock Unit multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Company Common Stock on the Settlement Date. No fractional shares of Company Common Stock shall be issued.

Section 4. Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Director may not sell the shares of Company Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units unless such shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or, if such shares are not then so registered, such sale would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The sale of such shares must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Company Common Stock, and the Director may not sell the shares of Company Common Stock if the Company determines that such sale would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

Section 5. Restriction on Transfer; Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units are not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and they may not, directly or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including, but not limited to, by gift, operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution to the estate of the Director upon the Director’s death. Any purported transfer in violation of this Section 5 shall be void ab initio.

Section 6. Miscellaneous.

(a) Dividend Equivalents. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, in the event that the Company pays any ordinary dividend in cash on a share of Company Common Stock following the Grant Date and prior to the Settlement Date, there shall be credited to the account of the Director in respect of each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit an amount equal to the amount of such dividend. The amount so credited shall be deferred (without interest, unless the Administrator determines otherwise) until the settlement of such related Restricted Stock Unit and then paid in cash but shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of such related Restricted Stock Unit.

(b) Authorization to Share Personal Data. The Director authorizes the Company or any Affiliate of the Company that has or lawfully obtains personal data relating to the Director to divulge or transfer such personal data to the Company or to a third party, in each case in any jurisdiction, if and to the extent reasonably appropriate in connection with this Agreement or the administration of the Plan.

(c) No Rights as Stockholder; No Voting Rights. Except as provided in Section 6(b), the Director shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Units prior to the issuance of such shares of Company Common Stock.

(d) No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer on the Director any right to continue in the service of the Company or any Subsidiary.

(e) Interpretation. The Administrator shall have full power and discretion to construe and interpret the Plan (and any rules and regulations issued thereunder) and this Award. Any determination or interpretation by the Administrator under or pursuant to the Plan or this Award shall be final and binding and conclusive on all persons affected hereby.

(f) Forfeiture of Awards. The Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder (and gains earned or accrued in connection therewith) shall be subject to such generally applicable policies as to forfeiture and recoupment (including, without limitation, upon the occurrence of material financial or accounting errors, financial or other misconduct or Competitive Activity) as may be adopted by the Administrator or the Board from time to time and communicated to the Director or as required by applicable law, and are otherwise subject to forfeiture or disgorgement of profits as provided by the Plan.
