MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of this 1st day of July, 2018 (the “Effective Date”) by and between GRAND CANYON EDUCATION, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Provider”), and GAZELLE UNIVERSITY, an Arizona non-profit corporation (to be renamed Grand Canyon University) (“University”) (each, a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties”).

A. On the date hereof, University and Provider consummated certain transactions contemplated by an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated the date hereof (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which University acquired the School Assets (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) previously owned by Provider.

B. Effective immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, University changed its name to “Grand Canyon University.”

C. University operates the postsecondary educational institution known as “Grand Canyon University” and conducts Educational Activities on the Campus.

D. University has determined that it is in the best interests of University and its students, faculty and staff to engage Provider to provide to University certain Services as such Services are (i) set forth in this Agreement, (ii) set forth in one or more Services Addenda to this Agreement, or (iii) mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, and has further determined that the terms of this Agreement, including the Services Fees payable hereunder, are fair to the University.

E. University has further determined that the implementation of the services relationship between University and Provider as set forth in this Agreement is in alignment with University’s mission and that the Services to be provided by Provider to University hereunder will assist University in fulfilling that mission.

F. Provider desires to provide such Services to University.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Exhibit A to this Agreement or given to them in Exhibit B to this Agreement.

2. Certain Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Parties. Each Party hereby represents, warrants and covenants that, during the Initial Term of this Agreement and any Renewal Term: (a) it has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement; (b) the performance by such Party of its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a material breach of, or otherwise contravene the terms of, any other agreement to which it is a party or under which it is otherwise bound; and (c) it has obtained or will obtain all third party consents,

authorizations and approvals (including Educational Approvals in the case of University) necessary for it to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement.

3. Services Provided to University.

3.1 Services to be Provided; Exclusivity. Provider shall, subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement and any applicable Services Addenda, provide to University the specific set of technological, marketing, promotional, development and/or support Services as are set forth on Exhibit B to this Agreement and in any Services Addenda. Additional Services (and the terms thereof) may be added pursuant to the execution of a Services Addendum. Services may be terminated as provided in this Agreement or in the applicable Services Addendum. Subject to Provider’s performance of its obligations hereunder and to Provider’s right to cure any failure by Provider to perform after receipt of written notice from University and except as otherwise provided herein, [***]. University will not contract with any third party for the performance of any Exclusive Services, in each case without the prior written consent of Provider to be granted in Provider’s sole discretion. The Parties also acknowledge the exclusive nature of certain of the licenses granted to Provider in Section 10 (Intellectual Property Rights). University’s determination to seek a third party provider to provide Services, other than the Exclusive Services, shall have no effect on University’s obligation to pay the Services Fees pursuant to Section 5 (Fees and Payments) and as set forth and calculated on Exhibit D to this Agreement.

3.2 Location of Services; Subcontracting. Provider shall provide the Services from, and using Services Personnel located at, Provider’s premises; provided that Provider may provide certain Services at the Campus as contemplated by this Agreement and as reasonably necessary or appropriate for Provider to provide the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider may subcontract the performance of any one or more of the Services to third parties (a) to the same extent that any such Services were subcontracted to third parties in the normal course of Provider’s business prior to the Effective Date and (b) as otherwise determined by Provider; provided that Provider shall remain responsible and liable for the performance, acts and omissions of all such third party subcontractors; and provided further that Provider shall not subcontract the performance of substantially all the Services.

3.3 Services Addenda. To add Services in addition to those described in Exhibit B, or to delete or materially change Services set forth on Exhibit B, the Parties shall enter into one or more services addenda substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (“Services Addenda”) which Services Addenda shall be numbered sequentially (e.g., Services Addendum C-1, Services Addendum C-2, etc.). Each Services Addendum will be effective only when signed by authorized representatives of the Parties and once finalized and signed by the Parties, shall be incorporated by reference and deemed part of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of any Services Addendum and the body of the Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall control to the extent of the conflict (unless the Services Addendum specifically identifies and overrides the conflicting term(s), in which event, the terms of the Services Addendum shall control for such Services Addendum). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the term “Services Addenda” will also include any other written documents exchanged by the Parties pursuant to which the Parties agree that Provider will provide Services in addition

to those described in Exhibit B to University. For purposes of clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any and all editions, versions, formats, improvements, enhancements, updates, or other changes of or to the Provider Intellectual Property (including the Platform) (collectively, “Updates”) that (a) are developed by Provider in the ordinary course (whether on Provider’s own initiative, at the specific request of University, or otherwise) in connection with providing the Services hereunder shall be promptly provided to University as part of the Services set forth on Exhibit B to this Agreement, shall not be deemed to constitute additional Services, shall not require a Services Addenda, and shall not otherwise result in an additional fee or other charge to University, and (b) are (i) independently developed by Provider otherwise than in connection with providing the Services hereunder (including any such Updates as may be developed in the course of providing services to other third parties), or (ii) developed by Provider, other than in the ordinary course, at the specific request of University, shall, in each case, be deemed to constitute additional Services and, if desired by University, shall require a Services Addenda and shall be subject to additional fees or other charges as mutually negotiated by the Parties.

3.4 Services and Performance Standards. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to University the Services in accordance herewith and any applicable performance standards set forth on Exhibit B and in the applicable Services Addendum. Provider shall perform the Services in a good and workmanlike manner and (subject to Section 3.6 (Compliance with Laws)) in accordance with all Applicable Laws. University will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

3.5 Provision of Information; Access. University shall, during the Initial Term of this Agreement and any Renewal Term, make available to Provider on a timely basis all Books and Records within University’s reasonable control, and provide Access to Provider’s personnel, to the extent reasonably necessary for Provider to perform each of the Services. In furtherance of the foregoing, and subject to Provider’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, University shall provide Provider with immediate and ongoing Access to University’s enrollment, marketing and other data in Provider-hosted systems as necessary to facilitate the provision of the Services. The Parties agree that Provider shall have no liability for any failure to perform, or for the late performance of, any Services to the extent such Services require Books and Records possessed, prepared or generated by University, or Access to be given to Provider’s personnel, to the extent that University shall have failed to provide or make available the same or to cause the same to be provided or made available to Provider in accordance with Provider’s reasonable written or oral (if promptly confirmed in writing) requests, and such failure by University is the cause of Provider’s lack of or delay in performance. Provider shall require that the Services Personnel comply with all business, administrative, security and other policies of University that otherwise would apply to University personnel in roles providing such Services and that are provided by University to Provider in writing. Provider shall use such Access only as reasonably necessary in connection with providing the Services and shall not use such Access for any purpose or activity unrelated to providing the Services.

3.6 Compliance with Laws. The Parties agree that each Party shall perform its respective obligations hereunder in compliance with the Applicable Laws that apply to such Party’s performance under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Provider shall not be responsible for University’s compliance with the Applicable Laws that apply to University’s

3

Educational Activities (including the Educational Laws), even if the performance of the Services relate to such Applicable Laws, unless (a) Provider failed to provide specific Services expressly set forth herein or in a Services Addendum in accordance with the terms hereof or such Services Addendum, (b) such failure was the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Provider (or Provider’s Services Personnel or Services Personnel of subcontractors used by Provider), (c) such failure directly causes University’s failure to comply with Applicable Laws, or (d) such failure results from Provider’s non-compliance with certain Educational Laws applicable to Provider as set forth in Section 3.7 (Provider’s Compliance with Certain Educational Laws) below. Neither Provider nor its Affiliates (nor its subcontractors) shall be required to provide any Services to the extent that providing such Services would require Provider or its Affiliates or subcontractors to violate any Applicable Law; provided, that promptly upon learning of such Applicable Law, Provider shall deliver reasonable written notice thereof to University, and Provider shall reasonably cooperate with University to mitigate the impact of Provider being unable to provide such Services, including the development and implementation of a reasonable work-around or reasonable revision to such Services as necessary to comply with such Applicable Law, which work-around or revisions shall be set forth in an amendment to this Agreement or in a Services Addendum, as applicable.

3.7 Provider’s Compliance with Certain Educational Laws. In furtherance of Provider’s obligations under Section 3.6 (Compliance with Laws):

3.7.1 Personal Information and Privacy. Provider acknowledges that University is subject to internal policies, laws, and regulations that govern and restrict the collection, storage, processing, dissemination, and use of education records, including non-public personal information that relates to applicants to University and its Programs, internship participants and University’s students and personnel that could be used, either directly or indirectly, to identify such person (collectively, “Personal Information”). In the performance of Provider’s obligations under this Agreement, Provider shall and shall cause its employees, agents, servants, principals, and any subcontractors to, at all times, comply with all Applicable Law, including Educational Laws, and University policies, including privacy and information security laws and regulations and University policies regarding Personal Information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to University’s oversight, Provider agrees (a) not to collect, store, process, disseminate, or use any such Personal Information obtained from University except to the extent expressly permitted or required in the performance of its Services under this Agreement, (b) to store all such Personal Information only in encrypted or otherwise secure form on Provider’s computer systems, and (c) except as permitted in this Agreement, not to sell, distribute, release or disclose lists or compilations of any items of Personal Information without the prior written consent of University or of the subject(s) of the Personal Information to be released or disclosed. Any disclosure of Personal Information by Provider in the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be made only on a “need-to-know” basis and subject to an applicable confidentiality agreement or other obligation substantially similar to the confidentiality, privacy and information security requirements imposed on Provider under this Agreement and Applicable Law. To the extent Provider utilizes subcontractors to perform Services under this Agreement, Provider shall require each such subcontractor to agree in writing to substantively similar terms, obligations, and restrictions contained in this Agreement.

4

3.7.2 Student Privacy Rights. Without limitation of its obligations under Section 3.7.1 above, (a) Provider shall take all commercially reasonable measures to protect the Personal Information of University students consistent with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (“FERPA”) and other Applicable Law, (b) Provider shall furnish University a copy of Provider’s information security procedures for the storage and handling of education records and other Personal Information prior to the commencement of Provider’s handling and processing of such records and information, (c) Provider shall furnish University a copy of any update or other modification of such security procedures, and (d) such security procedures and all updates and modifications thereof shall be subject to University’s written approval. Provider shall not disclose, release, or otherwise authorize access to Personal Information without written authority of University and/or the students to the extent required under FERPA, or as may be required by judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena. Upon request, Provider shall meet and confer with University to discuss Provider’s information security procedures for the storage and handling of Personal Information.

3.7.3 Agency Regarding Student Information. In order to satisfy FERPA and regulatory requirements applicable to University, Provider is hereby appointed as an agent of University’s Office of Academic Records for the use of student education records and other Personal Information solely for the purpose of providing the Services hereunder throughout such students’ tenures at University and attendance in its Programs and thereafter, including, without limitation, counseling of prospective students and continuing contact with graduates of University.

3.7.4 Timely Notice of Breach. Provider shall promptly notify the University Registrar of any unauthorized access, use, or disclosure (“Breach”) of any Personal Information or of University’s Confidential Information of which it becomes aware. Provider shall take reasonable steps to limit and investigate a Breach occurring as a result of Provider’s action or inaction, and Provider shall be responsible to the extent of Provider’s fault for the cost of notifying individuals whose Personal Information have been Breached as a direct result of Provider’s action or inaction, and any reasonable or court-ordered remedial action.

3.7.5 HEA Section 495 Compliance. Provider shall remain in compliance with HEA Section 495. Without limiting the foregoing, Provider shall have and maintain security mechanisms in place to ensure that each student registering for a Course is the same student who participates in the Course or receives Course credit. Such security mechanisms shall include one or more of the following methods: (a) a login and pass code procedure; (b) proctored examinations; and (c) new or other technologies and practices that are effective in verifying student identification.

3.7.6 Marketing Laws and Regulations; No Misrepresentation. Provider agrees to comply with all federal, state or local laws, statutes, rules and regulations concerning consumer and student marketing, including but not limited to the DOE misrepresentation regulations (34 C.F.R. §668.71-75), the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act, the Telecommunications Act, Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and any amendments thereto, and any regulations promulgated thereunder. Any communications with prospective or exiting students shall follow scripts or use advertising or web materials approved

5

by University. Provider shall make no misrepresentation concerning University, including about any of its Programs, financial charges or the employability of its graduates.

3.7.7 Incentive Compensation Rule. Provider shall compensate its employees and agents engaged in the recruitment of University’s students and in the awarding of financial aid, and those responsible for such employees and agents, only in accordance with the provisions of HEA Section 487(a)(20) (20 U.S.C. § 1094(a)(20)), or any successor provision, and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the DOE (currently located at 34 C.F.R. § 668.14(b)(22)), commonly referred to as the Incentive Compensation Rule. Provider represents and warrants that this Agreement falls under Example 2-B, page 12 of the Dear Colleague letter titled “Implementation of Program Integrity Regulations” from the U.S. Department of Education issued on March 17, 2011 (including any amended or successor DOE guidance, the “Guidance”). Provider further covenants and agrees that it will fully comply with the Guidance during the Initial Term and any Renewal Terms.

3.8 Compliance with University Policies and Standards; Fulfillment of University Mission.

3.8.1 Provider acknowledges that University has established, and maintains and enforces, policies with regard to fair and ethical behavior in its day-to-day operations, copies of which have been provided to Provider. Provider agrees that it shall perform the Services and otherwise abide by its obligations under this Agreement in full compliance with any such generally applicable ethics policies, as the same may be updated from time to time. University agrees to notify Provider promptly in writing if University updates or amends such policies and to provide Provider with reasonable advance notice of the implementation of such updates or amendments to enable Provider to achieve compliance therewith.

3.8.2 In addition to the matters described in Section 3.8.1, Provider acknowledges that certain Services, as listed and described in Exhibit B, are to be provided subject to University’s oversight and approval, or pursuant to written plans and procedures approved by University (such as quality control standards governing the provision of student support services counseling under Section 3 of Exhibit B). Provider agrees that, in its provision of the Services, it shall accept such oversight and/or approval requirements and abide by any such written plans and procedures.

3.8.3 Provider is aware of University’s mission and, in the performance of the Services hereunder, will use its reasonable efforts to assist University in fulfilling that mission. Provider shall have no authority pursuant to this Agreement with respect to (a) the election or appointment of University’s board of trustees or corporate officers, (b) the engagement, dismissal, reprimand, or other management of University faculty or personnel, or (c) any aspect of University’s internal human resources, business or administrative policies.

3.9 Services Personnel. Provider shall determine the appropriate personnel (the “Services Personnel”) to provide the Services. Provider will have full and complete authority to engage, dismiss, reprimand, or otherwise manage all Services Personnel; provided, that, if and to the extent Provider is hiring or providing Services Personnel to provide student support services counseling under Section 3 of Exhibit B, such Services Personnel shall meet the same or superior

6

qualifications as such personnel hired directly by University, as determined by University in its reasonable discretion. University expressly understands and agrees that any actions by Provider with respect to the Services Personnel shall be in accordance with Provider’s internal human resources, business or administrative policies in effect from time to time and that University shall have no authority pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any aspect of such policies of Provider.

3.10 Removal of Personnel. If University shall reasonably determine that one or more of the Services Personnel providing the Services hereunder (including Services Personnel of any subcontractor used by Provider) are ineffective or otherwise unsuitable to perform the Services, University may send written notice to Provider identifying such Services Personnel and the nature of the ineffectiveness or lack of suitability (e.g., offensive behavior, security concerns, lack of qualifications or the like). Upon University’s reasonable written request, Provider shall, in its discretion, as promptly as is practical, provide substitute Services Personnel or take appropriate steps to ensure that the Services Personnel performing the Services perform said Services effectively. Nothing in this Section or this Agreement shall require Provider to (a) hire additional employees or consultants to serve as Services Personnel, or (b) terminate the employment of any Services Personnel.

3.11 Points of Contact; Designees. Each of Provider and University will name a point of contact for the Services that are the subject of this Agreement or any Services Addendum (each, a “Designee”). Each Party may also designate one or more alternate Designees (each, an “Alternate Designee”) empowered to act in the place of the Designee if the Designee is unavailable, and while acting in such capacity the Alternate Designee will be deemed the Designee for purposes of this Agreement. University’s Designee and any Alternate Designee of University shall be free of any conflict of interest with respect to Provider and this Agreement as determined under University’s conflict of interest policy. Additionally, University’s Designee shall report to the MSA Committee established under the University Bylaws. Designees shall be responsible for supervising and coordinating the performance of the Services, including using good faith efforts to resolve any disputes or issues that may arise during the performance of the Services hereunder on a day-to-day basis. Any dispute among the Parties relating to any Services or this Agreement shall be handled as provided in Section 18.11 (Dispute Resolution). Each Party shall designate an initial Designee by written notice to the other Party and may designate a successor Designee by written notice to the other Party. In addition, each Service Addendum may identify Designees for the Services described in such Service Addendum and such Designees will be the Designees for such Service Addendum. University shall at all times maintain the University Bylaws and other policies as necessary to comply with this Section 3.11 (Points of Contact; Designees).

3.12 Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 2 (REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PARTIES) AND SECTION 3.4 (SERVICES AND PERFORMANCE STANDARD), OR AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN EXHIBIT B, PROVIDER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES IN RESPECT OF THE SERVICES OR ANY ITEMS TO BE DELIVERED OR PROVIDED TO UNIVERSITY OF ANY KIND, NATURE OR DESCRIPTION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ANY WARRANTY ARISING

University has or will develop appropriate mechanisms by which it will solicit feedback from students receiving the Services as well as from University faculty and staff who receive or are otherwise involved in overseeing the Services, and will also have in place a process to review any complaints from faculty or students about the Services and Provider’s performance thereof, which process shall be similar to, and consistent with, University’s established complaint policies and procedures. The Parties agree to utilize the information obtained from such feedback and from such complaint process to determine whether any changes may be required to the Services or the performance standards herein, which changes may be made in the manner provided in Section 3.3 (Services Addenda), Section 18.2 (Amendment; Waiver) or otherwise in the Agreement. In addition, the information obtained from such feedback and such complaint process shall be considered in connection with any examination performed pursuant to Section 5.4 (Examination) of the Agreement.

4.4 Other Responsibilities. University shall have other responsibilities related to the provision of Services by Provider, as set forth in Exhibit B and in any Services Addenda.

5. Fees and Payments.

5.1 Services Fees; Payment Terms. The fees payable by University to Provider in respect of the Services provided under this Agreement (such fees, the “Services Fees”) shall be determined and paid in accordance with (a) the terms set forth in Exhibit D, as Exhibit D may be amended by written agreement of the Parties from time to time, and (b) the terms in any applicable Services Addendum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Provider provides services to University that are not set forth in this Agreement or on a Services Addendum, such services shall nevertheless be “Services” for purposes of this Agreement and the Parties shall endeavor, as promptly as possible, to add such new services to a Services Addendum;

9

provided that, unless otherwise agreed in such Services Addendum, payment for such new services shall covered by the amounts paid by University to Provider as set forth on Exhibit D to this Agreement.

5.2 Delinquent Payments. Services Fees due under this Agreement that are not paid or not reasonably and in good faith disputed by University in writing within thirty (30) days of the date of an invoice therefor, with such written notice detailing why such disputed fees are not due, shall accrue simple interest at the prime rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal plus one percent (1.0%) per annum or, if lower, the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, from the date due until paid in full. If University does not reasonably and in good faith dispute in writing the fees invoiced by Provider within sixty (60) days of the date of the applicable invoice, with such written notice detailing why such disputed fees are not due, Provider may suspend performance of all or a subset of the Services, may terminate this Agreement by written notice (including after any such suspension), and may seek any other remedies available to it, whether legal, contractual, equitable or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, undisputed fees on an invoice shall be payable as provided in this Agreement, and University may only withhold the amounts disputed in good faith as set forth in University’s written notice disputing fees invoiced. In the event that University disputes the Services Fees invoiced as provided above, the Parties will expeditiously work together in good faith to resolve such dispute. Disputes related to Services Fees arising in connection with examinations conducted under Section 5.4 (Examinations) shall be administered as provided under that Section.

5.3 Books and Records; Audited Financial Statements.

5.3.1 Books and Records. Each Party shall maintain consistently applied, accurate and complete Books and Records, including as are necessary: (a) to substantiate the Services Fees paid by University to Provider, (b) to substantiate the information in any reports required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including Exhibit B, and (c) to perform any reconciliation under Section 3 of Exhibit D. Each Party shall maintain such Books and Records at, or accessible from, such Party’s principal place of business for the period of time required under Applicable Law, but not less than ten (10) years after creation.

5.3.2 Audited Financial Statements. Each Party shall deliver to the other Party each year, promptly upon completion thereof, its Audited Financial Statements; provided, that Provider will be deemed to have delivered its Audited Financial Statements to University if (a) Provider has filed such Audited Financial Reports with the Securities Exchange Commission via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available, or (b) the reports are posted on Provider’s website.

5.4 Examinations. During the twelve (12) month period following receipt of any report (including any reconciliation report) delivered under Section 3 of Exhibit B, each Party shall have the right to examine and audit (or cause its external auditors to examine and audit) the Books and Records of the other Party as necessary to verify the examined Party’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including the calculation of any of the information required to be included in any such reports. In addition, each Party shall have the right to examine and audit (or cause its external auditors to examine and audit) the compliance by the other Party with such other

10

Party’s performance obligations under this Agreement. All examinations shall be performed in accordance with the following terms:

5.4.1 The examined Party shall reasonably cooperate with the examining Party in conducting any such examination. The examining Party and its representatives (including its external auditors) shall keep all information obtained during any such examination confidential pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9 (Confidentiality).

5.4.2 Examinations shall: (a) be performed, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ advance written notice to the examined Party, at the examined Party’s principal place of business (or other location mutually agreed by the Parties in writing) during normal business hours, (b) be performed no more frequently than twice during each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) by any Party (except for examinations to ensure that a previously discovered problem is not reoccurring), (c) not be conducted in a manner that unreasonably interferes with the examined Party’s course of business, and (d) subject to delays outside the control of the Parties, be concluded within one hundred and eighty (180) days of commencement of the examination.

5.4.3 The examining Party may perform examinations hereunder using its external auditors, in which case the examined Party shall permit entry of the examining Party’s external auditors to its principal place of business to perform inspections of the examined Party’s Books and Records.

5.4.4 If any examination made pursuant to this Section 5.4 (Examinations) reveals that (a) any calculation, or any set off or credit, or payments to or from University or Provider under this Agreement have not been made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (a “Payment Failure”), or (b) a Party has failed, in any material respect, to comply with its performance obligations under the Agreement (a “Performance Failure”), then the examining Party shall promptly deliver to the examined Party written notice specifying the nature of any Payment Failure or Performance Failure and providing the data and information necessary, or requested, to support such claim (an “Examination Notice”). Following its receipt of any such Examination Notice, the examined Party will have a period of thirty (30) days to dispute in writing to the examining Party any of the findings contained in the Examination Notice. If the examined Party fails to dispute the findings in the Examination Notice during such thirty (30) day period, then the results of the examination set forth in the Examination Notice shall become final and binding on the Parties. If the examined Party disputes any findings in the Examination Notice within the applicable thirty (30) day period in accordance with this Section, then the Parties will work together in good faith for a period of up to thirty (30) days to seek to resolve the disputed matter, including the exchange of underlying information and records as reasonably requested. Should no resolution be reached within the first fifteen (15) days of said period, such efforts to resolve the disputed matter shall include escalating the matter to the Parties’ respective Designee and/or Senior Designee. If the Parties agree in writing to the resolution of any disputed matters during the thirty (30) day negotiation period described above, then the terms of such written agreement shall be final and binding on the Parties with respect to such resolved matters.

5.4.5 In the case of a Payment Failure, if any of the disputed matters remain unresolved at the end of the thirty (30) day negotiation period described in Section 5.4.4 above or in the case of any disagreements between the Parties regarding any payment or

11

reconciliation thereof, then such disputed matters shall be resolved by an Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with this Section 5.4.5. For purposes of this Agreement, “Independent Accounting Firm” means either: (a) a nationally recognized independent chartered accounting firm mutually agreed upon and engaged by Provider and University within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable time period for the Parties to resolve their disputes through negotiations, or (b) if Provider and University are unable to mutually agree upon and engage the Independent Accounting Firm during such thirty (30) day period, then, no later than thirty (30) days thereafter, each of Provider and University shall select and engage a nationally recognized independent accounting firm and those two accounting firms will promptly, but in no event more than twenty (20) days later, select and engage a third nationally recognized independent accounting firm, which third accounting firm shall serve as the Independent Accounting Firm. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the application of clause (b) of this definition, if either Provider or University fails to timely engage an accounting firm, then the Independent Accounting Firm will be the accounting firm timely engaged by the other Party. Within thirty (30) days after the Independent Accounting Firm has been engaged, Provider and University shall each submit a written statement to the other Party and the Independent Accounting Firm identifying in reasonable detail such Party’s calculation of each disputed amount. If either Party fails to timely submit its written statement to the other Party and the Independent Accounting Firm, or if either Party fails to timely provide Books and Records requested by the other Party, then the Independent Accounting Firm shall resolve such disputed matters in accordance with the written statement of the Party that was timely submitted. Otherwise, the Independent Accounting Firm shall resolve each disputed amount by selecting either the calculation submitted by Provider or the calculation submitted by University, based on which calculation the Independent Accounting Firm determines to be more accurate. The Independent Accounting Firm shall submit its final written report to the Parties within sixty (60) days (or such other time period as the Parties mutually agree in writing) after the deadline for the Parties to submit their written statements to the Independent Accounting Firm. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accounting Firm shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties and its decision for each disputed amount must be either the calculation submitted by Provider or by University and not a different calculation it performs. In connection with the resolution of the disputes, each of the Parties shall make available to the other Parties and the Independent Accounting Firm, as the case may be, such Books and Records, documents, work papers, facilities and other information as such Party or the Independent Accounting Firm may reasonably request to resolve the dispute. The Independent Accounting Firm determination made in accordance with this Section will be final and binding upon the Parties and will not be subject to appeal, absent fraud or manifest error.

5.4.6 In the case of a Performance Failure, if any of the disputed matters remain unresolved at the end of the thirty (30) day negotiation period described in Section 5.4.4 above or in the case of any disagreements between the Parties regarding any cure thereof, then such disputed matters shall be resolved pursuant to Section 18.11 (Dispute Resolution).

5.4.7 Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and fees relating to any dispute resolution pursuant to Section 5.4.5 or Section 5.4.6 above.

5.4.8 Provider agrees that University may provide the results of any examination undertaken pursuant to this Section 5.4 (Examinations) to any Educational Agency, including HLC, upon such Educational Agency’s request.

6. Term, Termination.

6.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement (the “Initial Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated as provided in this Agreement, shall continue until the earlier of (a) the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the Effective Date, or (b) with respect to any particular Service being provided hereunder, such other termination date as is mutually agreed by the Parties in writing or set forth in a Services Addendum related to any additional Service added hereto. Unless earlier terminated as provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive five (5) year terms (each, a “Renewal Term”).

6.2 Non-Renewal of Initial Term or Any Renewal Term; Fee Payable. Either Party may elect not to renew this Agreement at the end of the Initial Term or any subsequent Renewal Term by giving the other Party written notice of such election not to renew not less than eighteen (18) months’ prior to the end of such Initial Term or subsequent Renewal Term. If University gives written notice to Provider of its decision not to renew this Agreement, then, as a condition to the expiration of such Initial Term or Renewal Term, University shall pay, and Provider shall have the right to receive, on the last day of such Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, the Non-Renewal Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

6.3 Early Termination of Initial Term; Fee Payable. Prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, University may elect to terminate this Agreement upon or following the later of (a) the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Effective Date, and (b) the payment in full of the Senior Secured Note. Such termination shall be effected by providing Provider with written notice of termination not less than eighteen (18) months’ prior to the proposed date of termination, specifying therein the effective date of termination. If University gives written notice to Provider of its decision to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 6.3 (Early Termination of Initial Term; Fee Payable), then, as a condition to such termination, University shall pay, and Provider shall have the right to receive, on the effective date of termination the Early Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

6.4 Termination of Agreement for Breach. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 (Points of Contact; Designees), Section 5.4 (Examinations) and Section 18.11 (Dispute Resolution), this Agreement may be terminated by either Party (such Party defined herein for convenience as the “Non-Defaulting Party”) upon a Performance Failure by the other Party (such other Party defined herein for convenience as the “Defaulting Party”) where such Performance Failure has a material adverse effect on the Non-Defaulting Party or its business. The Non-Defaulting Party shall give the Defaulting Party written notice of such Performance Failure, stating the nature thereof and a reasonable period (which shall be not less than thirty (30) days) to cure such Performance Failure. If the Defaulting Party does not cure any such Performance Failure within the specified cure period, the Non-Defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement effective upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice given on or after the end of the specified cure period; provided, that if, at end of the specified cure period, the Defaulting Party is continuing to use reasonably diligent efforts to cure such Performance Failure in light of the nature of such Performance Failure, then the Non-Defaulting Party may not give written notice of termination of this Agreement until the earlier of (a) an additional thirty (30) days has passed following the end of the original specified cure period, or (b) such time as the Defaulting Party has ceased using reasonably diligent efforts to cure such Performance Failure. For the avoidance of doubt, any

13

termination of this Agreement in respect of a Payment Failure shall be governed by Section 5.2 (Delinquent Payments) or Section 5.4 (Examinations), as applicable.

6.5 Termination of Particular Service. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 (Points of Contact; Designees) , Section 5.4 (Examinations) and Section 18.11 (Dispute Resolution), the provision by Provider of any particular Service may be terminated by the Non-Defaulting Party upon a Performance Failure by the Defaulting Party with respect to such particular Service. The Non-Defaulting Party shall give the Defaulting Party written notice of such material Performance Failure, stating the nature thereof and a reasonable time (which shall be not less than thirty (30) days) to cure such Performance Failure. If the Defaulting Party does not cure any such Performance Failure within the specified cure period, the Non-Defaulting Party may terminate the provision of the applicable Service effective upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice given on or after the end of the specified cure period; provided, that if, at end of the specified cure period, the Defaulting Party is continuing to use reasonably diligent efforts to cure such Performance Failure in light of the nature of such Performance Failure, then the Non-Defaulting Party may not give written notice of termination of the particular Service until the earlier of (a) an additional thirty (30) days has passed following the end of the original specified cure period, or (b) such time as the Defaulting Party has ceased using reasonably diligent efforts to cure such Performance Failure. Upon the termination of any particular Service being provided hereunder, the Parties will work together mutually and in good faith to agree upon an appropriate adjustment to the Service Fees payable hereunder to reflect the elimination of such Service and this Agreement shall be amended accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of a particular Service in respect of a Payment Failure shall be governed by Section 5.2 (Delinquent Payments) or Section 5.4 (Examinations), as applicable.

6.6 Special Termination Right. Anything in Section 6.5 (Termination of Particular Service) to the contrary notwithstanding, University may immediately and without penalty terminate the portions of this Agreement related to the provision of Services covered in Section 8 (Financial Aid Services) of Exhibit B to this Agreement if it receives notification that the DOE has imposed an emergency, limitation, suspension, or termination action with regard to Provider’s ability to contract with the University to administer any aspects of its participation in the Title IV Programs. Any such termination of the Services covered in Section 8 (Financial Aid Services) of Exhibit B shall not affect Provider’s provision of Services not covered in Section 8 (Financial Aid Services) of Exhibit B. Upon any termination of the Services covered in Section 8 (Financial Aid Services) of Exhibit B to this Agreement, the Parties will work together mutually and in good faith to agree upon an appropriate adjustment to the Services Fees payable hereunder to reflect the elimination of such Services and this Agreement shall be amended accordingly

6.7 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement or any particular Service, as applicable, (a) Provider shall be entitled to all Services Fees and other amounts due for the provision of the relevant Services rendered up to and through the effective date of termination, as determined and payable in accordance with the terms in this Agreement and any Services Addendum, (b) the Parties shall take reasonable steps to provide the other Party with any information and records reasonably relating to this Agreement or such Service requested by such other Party in writing to the extent appropriate and necessary to permit the continuing business operations of each of the Parties with a minimum of disruption, and (c) all licenses granted under Section 10 (Intellectual Property Rights) below will terminate; provided, if University

14

requests the performance of Transition Services, such licenses will terminate at the end of the applicable Transition Period.

6.8 Transition Services. Except in the case of a non-renewal of the Agreement under Section 6.2 (Non-Renewal of Initial Term or Any Renewal Term; Fee Payable) or an early termination of the Agreement by University under Section 6.3 (Early Termination of Initial Term; Fee Payable), if this Agreement or any particular Service is terminated (regardless of the reason for such termination), (a) by Provider, then, at University’s written election, Provider will continue providing the Services (or the applicable Service) for a period of up to two (2) years following the termination date, or (b) by University, then, at University’s written election, Provider will continue providing the Services (or applicable Service) for a period of up to six (6) months following the termination date (the post-termination services are referred to herein as the “Transition Services,” and the applicable period during which the Transition Services are provided is referred to herein as the “Transition Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement or a Service is terminated as a result of University’s failure to timely pay the applicable Services Fees, then if University desires to receive Transition Services during the Transition Period, University must, prior to the commencement of any Transition Services, (a) pay all outstanding Services Fees that are not subject to a good faith dispute by University pursuant to Section 5.2 (Delinquent Payments) and (b) pay the estimated Services Fees as reasonably determined by Provider for the Transition Period on a monthly basis in advance. If the actual Services Fees payable for the Transition Period are different than the estimated Services Fees paid by University, then (i) if the actual Services Fees exceed the estimated Services Fees, University will pay the difference within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Transition Period, and (ii) if the actual Services Fees are less than the estimated Services Fees, Provider will refund to University the difference within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Transition Period. The Transition Services will be provided at least at the same levels of quality and timeliness of performance as such Services were required to be provided prior to the termination. In connection with a termination of the Agreement, University may, upon written notice to Provider, modify the specific Transition Services to be provided to a subset of the Services provided under this Agreement and, in any case, may reduce the term for the Transition Period to a lesser period. Following any termination, the Parties agree to work in good faith to effectuate an orderly transition of the Services (or any particular Service), with a goal of minimum interruption to University, its students and its Educational Activities. It is agreed and understood that the licenses granted to Provider in Section 10 (Intellectual Property Rights) shall remain in effect during the Transition Period, provided that University complies with the terms in this Agreement, including timely paying the Services Fees for the Transition Services. If this Agreement expires following the giving by a Party of notice of non-renewal under Section 6.2 (Non-Renewal of Initial Term or Any Renewal Term; Fee Payable) above, or is terminated by University following the giving by University of notice of termination under Section 6.3 (Early Termination of Initial Term; Fee Payable), then during the period between the giving of such notice of non-renewal or termination and the expiration or termination of the Initial Term or expiration of any Renewal Term, the Parties shall likewise work in good faith to wind down their relationship and effectuate an orderly transition of the Services, with a goal of minimum interruption to University, its students and its Educational Activities.

6.9 Assumption of Certain Services Functions. University may, at any time upon providing Provider with not less than nine (9) months’ prior written notice (a “Services Transfer Notice”), elect to directly assume performance of one or more Back-Office Services

15

Functions, as designated by University in such Services Transfer Notice; provided that (a) Provider will be paid any Services Fees related to the Back-Office Services Function assumed for the period prior to the effective date of such assumption, and continue to be paid its other Services Fees, in each case, as provided in Exhibit D without regard to such assumption, and (b) the Parties will negotiate in good faith to determine appropriate adjustments to the Services Fees payable hereunder to give effect to any transfer of costs associated with such assumption. Upon University’s assumption of any Back-Office Services Functions, University will supply its own technology and IT platforms to perform such Back-Office Services Functions and will no longer have the right to access or use the Platform in connection therewith. The Parties agree that to the extent performance of the Back-Office Services Function assumed by University requires amendment to this Agreement, the Parties shall make such amendments (in accordance with Section 18.2 (Amendment; Waiver)) in good faith consistent with the remaining terms of this Agreement. University shall not retain any other Person, during the remainder of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term in which a notice is given pursuant to this Section 6.9 (Assumption of Certain Services Functions), to perform any Back-Office Services Functions assumed pursuant to this Section.

7. Tax Matters.

7.1 Tax. The Services Fees are exclusive of all Tax. University will pay and be liable for any and all Tax imposed on, sustained, incurred, levied and measured by the cost, value or price of Services provided by Provider under this Agreement; provided, that in no event shall University be liable for any Taxes that are imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable by Provider. All such Tax for which University is liable will, as applicable, be invoiced to and payable by University to Provider in accordance with Section 5.1 (Services Fees; Payment Terms) or as otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the Parties and under the terms of the Applicable Law which governs the relevant Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that any applicable Tax authority imposes a transaction privilege, sales or similarly denominated Tax on the Services, the responsibility for such Tax shall be borne equally by Parties.

7.2 Tax Withholding. University shall (a) make all payments of Services Fees to be made by it to Provider hereunder without any Tax withholding, unless a Tax withholding is required by Applicable Law and (b) promptly upon becoming aware that University must make a Tax withholding (or that there is any change in that rate or the basis of a Tax withholding) notify Provider in writing accordingly. Provider shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for University to obtain authorization to make payment without a Tax withholding.

7.3 Tax Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, University shall pay to Provider an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost that Provider reasonably determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax on Provider in respect of the Agreement. This Section 7.3 (Tax Indemnity) shall not apply with respect to any Tax for which University is not responsible under Section 7.1 (Tax) or any other Tax assessed on Provider under the law of any jurisdiction in which Provider is incorporated or operates, if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable by Provider.

16

8. Indemnification for Third Party Claims.

8.1 Indemnification of University. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11 (Limitation of Liability) below, Provider hereby agrees to (a) defend University and its trustees, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “University Indemnitees”), from and against all demands, suits, claims, actions, or causes of action (each, a “Claim”) asserted or brought by any third party against any of the University Indemnitees, and (b) indemnify and hold the University Indemnitees harmless from any assessments, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, interest, penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ fees), of any nature, and in all cases awarded in a final judgment, order or regulatory action to the third party bringing the applicable Claim or any settlement amount paid to the third party bringing the applicable Claim in order to settle such Claim; provided that, in each case, such Claim arises directly from any act or omission of any Provider Indemnitee, including any violation of any Applicable Law by Provider, in connection with its performance under this Agreement; provided further, that Provider shall have no obligation to defend, indemnify or hold University Indemnitees harmless from any such assessments, losses, damages, costs and expenses to the extent arising from actions taken by Provider at University’s request or otherwise in respect of any communications with prospective or existing students made by Provider following scripts, or using advertising or web materials, approved by University, as provided in Section 3.7.6 (Marketing Laws and Regulations; No Misrepresentation), so long as Provider was not negligent, grossly negligent or reckless in taking such actions.

8.2 Indemnification of Provider. University hereby agrees to (a) defend Provider and its directors, officers, stockholders, employees, agents, successors, and assigns, (collectively, the “Provider Indemnitees”), from and against all Claims asserted or brought by any third party against any of the Provider Indemnitees, and (b) indemnify and hold the Provider Indemnitees harmless from any assessments, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, interest, penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ fees), of any nature, and in all cases awarded in a final judgment, order or regulatory action to the third party bringing the applicable Claim or any settlement amount paid to the third party bringing the applicable Claim in order to settle such Claim; provided that, in each case, such Claim arises directly from any act or omission of any University Indemnitee including any violation of any Applicable Law by University, including, without limitation, in respect of the provision to Provider of scripts, or advertising or web materials, for use by Provider as contemplated by Section 3.7.6 (Marketing Laws and Regulations; No Misrepresentation).

8.3 Conditions. The indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Section 8 (Indemnification for Third Party Claims) shall be conditioned upon and subject to the indemnified parties (i.e., the Provider Indemnitees or the University Indemnitees, as the case may be): (a) notifying the indemnifying Party promptly in writing of any Claim of which an indemnified party becomes aware, provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder, except to the extent of any material prejudice to the indemnifying Party as a direct result of such failure; (b) offering the indemnifying Party sole authority to control fully, at the indemnifying Party’s expense with counsel of its choice, the defense and settlement of any Claim; provided, that any Claim of a regulatory nature or involving any Educational Agency shall be under the mutual control of University and Provider and subject to Section 15 (Duty to Cooperate) of this Agreement, it being understood that the primary

17

communications with the Educational Agency shall be through University (although Provider may be present at or participate in such discussions in its discretion and University will provide reasonable prior written notice to Provider of such discussions); (c) having the right, at the indemnified parties’ cost and expense, to participate in the defense of such Claim using legal counsel of its or their own choosing, provided, that such participation shall not reduce or impact the indemnifying Party’s control of the defense and settlement as provided herein; and (d) furnishing all reasonable cooperation and assistance requested by the indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 15 (Duty to Cooperate) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8 (Indemnification for Third Party Claims), if, within fifteen (15) days following receipt by the indemnifying Party of notice of a Claim pursuant to subpart (a) of the preceding sentence, the indemnifying Party fails to provide written notice to the indemnified parties of the indemnifying Party’s intention to assume the defense of such Claim, then each indemnified party shall have the right to assume the sole control of the defense of such Claim by counsel of its choice, in which event if the Claim is in fact a Claim for which the indemnifying Party was obligated to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified parties, the indemnifying Party shall indemnify any such indemnified party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such indemnified party in connection with such defense and such reimbursement of attorneys’ fees shall be in addition to the indemnification for other amounts sought hereunder in connection with such Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party may settle a Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

9. Confidentiality. Each Party acknowledges that Confidential Information may be disclosed to the other Party in connection with this Agreement.

9.1 Definition. “Confidential Information” shall mean, with respect to each Party (a) any non-public, proprietary information, Intellectual Property and other confidential information, including, but not limited to, any technical and non-technical information regarding current, future and proposed business operations, products and services, including for example and without limitation, information concerning research and development, financial information, procurement requirements, student and customer information and lists, business forecasts, sales information and marketing plans, descriptions, specifications and the like of a Disclosing Party, and (b) any information Disclosing Party has received from a third party which the Disclosing Party is obligated to treat as confidential or proprietary, in each case that is provided or communicated by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party in connection with this Agreement after the Effective Date, including pursuant to Section 15 (Duty to Cooperate).

9.2 Obligations. Each Party (in such capacity, the “Receiving Party”) acknowledges and agrees to (a) use with respect to the Confidential Information of the other Party (in such capacity, the “Disclosing Party”) the same care and discretion to prevent such Confidential Information from being disclosed, published or disseminated as it employs to avoid disclosure, publication or dissemination of its own similar Confidential Information (but in no event less than reasonable care), (b) use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only for the purpose for which it was disclosed, and (c) not disclose, disseminate or provide access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any Person other than to those employees and agents who (i) have a need to know it in order to assist the Receiving Party in performing its obligations under, or to permit the Receiving Party to exercise its rights under, this Agreement,

18

and (ii) are legally bound by the same obligations regarding Confidential Information as the Parties are subjected to in this Section 9 (Confidentiality). Furthermore, neither Provider nor University will: (A) acquire any right in or assert any lien against the Confidential Information of the other Party, other than as provided in this Agreement; or (B) sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of Confidential Information of the other to third parties (except in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s assets to which this Agreement relates) or commercially exploit such Confidential Information, other than as permitted in this Agreement. In addition, the Parties shall take reasonable steps by agreement or otherwise so that their Affiliates, employees, subcontractors and consultants comply with these confidentiality provisions.

9.3 Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (a) to a third party subcontractor who is involved in providing Services under this Agreement or a third party who is contemplating entering into a transaction with Provider pertaining to a financing event or a sale of all or any portion of its business, provided that: (i) such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the third party to perform its duties or evaluate the potential transaction; (ii) the Receiving Party causes the third party to be bound to the same obligations regarding Confidential Information as the Parties are subjected to in this Section 9 (Confidentiality); and (iii) the Receiving Party assumes full responsibility for the acts or omissions of such third parties, no less than if the acts or omissions were those of the Receiving Party; (b) to the extent required under the terms of any credit agreement, indenture or related agreement entered into by the Receiving Party or one of its Affiliates; (c) to an Affiliate, provided that: (i) such Affiliate is bound to the same obligations regarding Confidential Information as the Parties are subjected to in this Section 9 (Confidentiality); and (ii) Receiving Party shall only disclose such Confidential Information to those directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents of such Affiliate who have a need to know it in order to assist the Receiving Party in performing its obligations hereunder, or to permit the Receiving Party to exercise its rights under this Agreement; (d) as required pursuant to any Applicable Law; provided, that the Receiving Party shall advise the Disclosing Party of such required disclosure promptly upon learning thereof in order to afford the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to contest, limit and/or assist the Receiving Party in crafting such disclosure; or (e) to an Educational Agency when requested by such Educational Agency.

9.4 Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include, and this Section 9 (Confidentiality) will not apply to, any information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate was:

10.1.3 As used herein, the term “Provider Intellectual Property” shall mean any and all Intellectual Property in (a) the Platform, including Provider-developed or Provider-acquired user interface designs necessary to facilitate access to University Intellectual Property via the Platform (provided that, for further clarity, Provider’s rights in such matter shall not give it any right whatsoever in or to any portion of University Intellectual Property, none of which may be used by Provider except in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement), logic and data modules, algorithms, feature sets and source code, and documentation relating thereto (b) all Aggregated Data Sets (as further discussed in Section 10.13 (Aggregated Data Sets) below), and documentation relating thereto, (c) all Plan Information developed by Provider, and (d) any Intellectual Property expressly identified in a Service Addendum as “Provider Intellectual Property.”

10.2 Ownership.

10.2.1 Ownership by Each Party. Following Provider’s assignment, sale and transfer to University of certain Intellectual Property as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement or any related agreement executed by the Parties in connection therewith, each Party (and their respective Affiliates) (as the “Owner Party”) owns and shall retain all right, title and interest in and to any and all (a) Confidential Information of such Owner Party, (b) all Intellectual Property of such Owner Party or its Affiliates existing as of the Effective Date, (c) except as may be expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement or a Services Addendum, all Intellectual Property independently developed by such Owner Party or its Affiliates after the Effective Date, and (d) in the case of University, all Improvements to University Intellectual Property, together with all associated Intellectual Property rights in such Improvements, that are conceived, created, or developed by Provider in connection with providing the Services hereunder.

21

10.2.2 Works Made for Hire. Provider acknowledges and agrees that all works of authorship included in the University Intellectual Property shall constitute a “work made for hire” for University, as that phrase is defined in Section 101 and 201 of the Copyright Act of 1976 (Title 17, United States Code), including a work specially commissioned by University. With respect to any such works of authorship that are not “works made for hire” and with respect to any other University Intellectual Property, Provider hereby assigns and transfers and agrees to assign and transfer to University all of Provider’s right, title and interest in and to such works of authorship and University Intellectual Property, including, all patent, copyright, trade secret and other proprietary rights, and the right to make any modifications, adjustments or additions thereto (Provider hereby expressly waiving any droit moral or similar rights to object to any such changes), the right to make and distribute derivative works thereof and the right to all claims for past infringement thereof.

Upon a Party’s reasonable written request, the other Party shall execute and deliver to the requesting Party all documents and instruments, including copyright assignments, and shall otherwise assist the requesting Party, at the requesting Party’s expense, to perfect in the requesting Party the sole and exclusive right, title and other interests in the Intellectual Property of such requesting Party (as provided herein). In the event a requesting Party is unable, because the other Party is no longer in business, to obtain the signature of the other Party to any document or instrument necessary or desirable to apply for protection of, or to enforce any action with respect to, any Intellectual Property right of the requesting Party, the other Party hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the requesting Party and its duly authorized officers and agents as the other Party’s agent and attorney-in-fact, whose power is expressly coupled with an interest, to act for and on behalf of the other Party, to execute such documents and instruments and to take all lawfully permitted actions to protect the requesting Party’s interests in any such Intellectual Property with the same legal force and effect as if executed by such other Party.

10.3 License to Course Materials. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and subject to the applicable Quality Control Standards set forth in Section 10.9 (Quality Control), University, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Provider, during the Initial Term and any Renewal Term and under the Intellectual Property rights owned or controlled by University or its Affiliates, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free right and license, without the right to sublicense, (a) to create derivative works of, and to modify, enhance and develop improvements to, the Course Materials (collectively, “Improvements”), and (b) to use the Course Materials, including the right to reproduce, distribute copies, publicly display and publicly perform the Course Materials, in each case solely in connection with the performance by Provider of Services under this Agreement. The foregoing license only in clause (a) of Section 10.3 (License to Course Materials) is subject to University’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) for each of the Improvements and such consent may be reasonably conditioned on additional terms and conditions to be proposed by University consistent with University’s academic control over the Course Materials. During the Initial Term of this Agreement and any Renewal Term, Provider shall disclose all Improvements to University. Provider will have written agreements with its employees and contractors that develop Improvements pursuant to which such employees and contractors assign to Provider all right, title and interest in and to the Improvements and all Intellectual Property rights therein.

22

10.4 License to Other University Intellectual Property. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, University, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Provider, during the Initial Term and any Renewal Term and under the Intellectual Property rights owned or controlled by University or its Affiliates, a non-exclusive (except as provided in the next sentence), non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free right and license, without the right to sublicense, to use, reproduce, create derivative works and to modify, enhance and develop improvements to the University Intellectual Property (other than the Course Materials and University Marks) and distribute copies, publicly display and publicly perform such other University Intellectual Property, in each case solely in connection the performance by Provider of Services under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the license set forth in this Section 10.4 (License to Other University Intellectual Property) shall be exclusive with respect to the Exclusive Services.

10.5 License to University Marks. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the Quality Control Standards set forth in Section 10.9 (Quality Control), University, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants to Provider, during the Initial Term and any Renewal Term, a worldwide, non-exclusive (except as provided in the next sentence), non-transferable, royalty-free right and license, without the right to sublicense, to use, reproduce and display the University Marks solely in connection with the performance by Provider of the Services (e.g., marketing and promotion services). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the license set forth in this Section 10.5 (License to University Marks) shall be exclusive with respect to the Services identified herein; provided, that University may use, reproduce and display the University Marks in connection with the marketing and promotion of University and the Programs as well as any other uses unrelated to the Services identified herein. Subject to the terms of this Agreement (e.g., with respect to Provider’s permitted use of University Marks), Provider and University shall coordinate their marketing and promotional activities in respect of University to ensure a consistent message. A list of University Marks as of the Effective Date is set forth on Exhibit E to this Agreement.

10.6 Reservation of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed in any way to constitute a transfer or assignment by University to Provider of ownership of or title to any of University Intellectual Property.

10.7 Domain Names; Additional Trademarks. If Provider is interested in using domain names containing one of the University Marks, for any purpose, Provider shall provide a written request to University and University may, in its sole discretion, apply to register the additional domain names and/or trademarks and amend the list of University Marks to include such additional domain names and/or trademarks.

10.8 Restrictions on Trademark Usage. University grants no rights under the University Marks other than those expressly granted herein unless otherwise agreed to in writing on a case-by-case basis, at the sole discretion of University. Without limiting the foregoing, Provider agrees that it shall not directly or indirectly at any time:

10.8.1 use any of the University Marks for or in connection with any business of Provider other than the provision of Services to University under this Agreement;

23

10.8.2 use any of the University Marks in combination with any other trade name, trademark, service mark, corporate name, logo, domain name or trade dress, unless approved in advance in writing by University;

10.8.4 apply to register, obtain, use or own any domain name or trademark comprising or related to any of the University Marks, or any confusingly similar marks; or

10.8.5 use the University seal (which is solely used for academic purposes).

10.9 Quality Control.

10.9.1 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, University shall retain absolute final authority respecting the form and content of any of the Programs, including Courses and Course Materials, offered under the University name or University Marks. Provider shall at all times operate Provider’s business in accordance with standards of professionalism and business practices consistent with those of University, and in accordance with Applicable Law. Provider shall not perform, or fail to perform, any act if, in University’s reasonable opinion, such act, or failure to act, materially and adversely affects the business or academic reputation of University, or in any way materially diminishes or tarnishes the reputation of University, its employees, its students or any University Marks.

10.9.2 Provider shall comply with University’s written quality control standards provided from time to time by University to Provider in connection with Provider’s use of the University Marks, as in effect from time to time, which shall be subject to reasonable changes or re-branding by University from time to time upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Provider (the “Quality Control Standards”). All such changes and re-branding shall be consistent with changes and re-branding implemented and put into practice by University generally and shall not be unique to Provider. All uses of the University Marks must be in conformance with the then-current form of Quality Control Standards or otherwise be approved in writing by University prior to their use. Provider shall not by any act or omission use the University Marks in any manner that disparages or reflects adversely on the University Marks or on University, its employees, its students, its business or its reputation.

10.9.3 If at any time University is of the reasonable opinion that Provider is in breach of Section 10.8 (Restrictions on Trademark Usage) or the terms of this Section 10.9 (Quality Control) (other than Section 10.9.4), University shall deliver written notice to Provider as provided in, and otherwise proceed under, Section 6.4 (Termination for Breach) or Section 6.5 (Termination of Particular Service), as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Section 10.9.3 shall not limit any right or remedy available to either Party, whether under this Agreement, Applicable Law or in equity, subject to the limitations on damages set forth in Section 11 (Limitation of Liability).

10.9.4 Provider shall not challenge or assist others in challenging University’s ownership of the Course Materials and/or University Marks. Similarly, Provider shall

24

not challenge or assist others in challenging University’s ownership of University Intellectual Property.

10.10 License to Provider Intellectual Property. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, Provider hereby grants to University the non-exclusive, non-transferable, right and license, during the Initial Term of this Agreement and any Renewal Term, and without the right to sublicense, to use all Provider Intellectual Property used in the Programs, including a license of all rights under copyright and the rights to reproduce and copy Provider Intellectual Property in all editions, versions, enhancements, improvements, updates, changes, and formats for print and in any other form or medium, whether now known or hereafter known, throughout the world, including, electronic, magnetic, digital, laser, or optical-based media, for use only in University’s Programs. To the extent necessary to facilitate access to the Programs, Provider shall also grant to University students a royalty-free license to use Provider Intellectual Property that is included in any Program for the duration of their participation in such Program, but only as part of the Program studies. Except for the express assignment by Provider to University of certain Intellectual Property as provided in Section 10.2.2 (Works Made for Hire), nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed in any way to constitute a transfer or assignment by Provider to University of ownership of or title to any Intellectual Property.

10.11 Licenses to Plans and Plan Information. Licenses to Plans and Plan Information shall be governed by Section 1.2 of Exhibit B.

10.12 No Additional Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, a Services Addendum, or a separate written agreement between the Parties, neither Party shall receive, by virtue of this Agreement, any rights of ownership to, or any license or other rights in or to, any Confidential Information or Intellectual Property of the other Party.

10.13 Aggregated Data Sets. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, Provider may collect, store and use data and information related to use of the Services and delivery of Courses in an aggregated and anonymous manner, including to compile statistical and performance information related to the provision and operation of the Services by Provider (“Aggregated Data Sets”). University shall undertake such reasonable actions, such as disclosing such collection and use in its privacy policies, as the Provider may request from time to time. As between Provider and University, all right, title and interest in the Aggregated Data Sets and all Intellectual Property therein, belong to and are retained solely by Provider. University acknowledges that Provider will be compiling Aggregated Data Sets based on delivery and use of the Services and University agrees that Provider may (a) make such Aggregated Data Sets publicly available, and (b) use such information and data to the extent and in the manner permitted by Applicable Law, including without limitation, for purposes of data gathering, analysis, service enhancement and marketing, provided that such use does not specifically identify University or its Confidential Information without University consent.

11. Limitation of Liability. The Parties hereby agree that Provider’s aggregate liability under this Agreement, regardless of the nature of the claim or cause of action, whether in contract, warranty, in tort (including negligence), or strict liability or any other legal theory regarding any claim by University related in any way to the performance or non-performance of Provider under this Agreement, is limited to the amount paid by University to Provider for Services

25

in the most recently completed three-month period, less in all circumstances, any amounts previously paid (as of the date of satisfaction of such liability) by Provider in satisfaction of any liability under this Agreement, and University hereby releases and waives any claim against Provider in excess of such amount, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. The limitation set forth in this Section shall not apply to liability or claims arising out of or related to Provider’s (a) breach of Section 9 (Confidentiality) or Section 10 (Intellectual Property Rights) (including Provider’s infringement, violation or misappropriation of University Intellectual Property rights), or (b) claims based on Provider’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. The limitations in this Section shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy set forth in this Agreement. No Party will claim, assert or take the position that any limitation on damages set forth in this Section is or should be found unenforceable or that such limitation should not be enforced. The foregoing limitations on damages shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law precludes the exclusion of certain types of damages or of certain types of damages in certain circumstances, then the foregoing limitations on damages shall not apply to such damages or such damages in such circumstances, provided that the balance of the limitations shall continue to apply.

12. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable or in breach of this Agreement for any interruption of the provision of Services, or any delay or failure to perform under this Agreement when such interruption, delay or failure results from causes beyond that Party’s reasonable control, including as a result of strikes, lock-outs or other labor difficulties; acts of government, riot, insurrection or other hostilities; embargo, fuel or energy shortages; fire, flood, acts of God, wrecks or transportation delays; or inability to obtain necessary labor, materials or utilities from usual sources. In such event, a Party’s obligations hereunder shall be postponed for such time as its performance is suspended or delayed on account thereof. Upon the cessation of the force majeure event, each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume its performance with the least possible delay.

13. Available Remedies. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties agree that the failure of a Party to perform any obligation which arises under Section 9 (Confidentiality) or Section 10 (Intellectual Property Rights) of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to the other Party which may not be fully or adequately compensated by the award and/or payment of monetary damages alone. In the event of actual or threatened breach by a Party of Section 9 (Confidentiality) or Section 10 (Intellectual Property Rights), the Parties agree that the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief in order to enforce or prevent any such conduct or continuing violation, without having to post a bond or other security and the breaching Party agrees not to raise the defense of an adequate remedy at law in any such proceeding. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting either Party from pursuing any other remedies available for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees from the other.

14. Relationship of the Parties. The relationship of Provider to University under this Agreement shall be that of an independent contractor. Services Personnel rendering Services pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed employees of University, and shall not be entitled to or qualified under any employee benefit plans, including pension, health and insurance plans, provided by University for its employees. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the fulfillment of all labor and Social Security provisions that affect the labor relationships with its personnel,

26

either currently in force or that may be passed during the Initial Term of this Agreement and any Renewal Term, expressly discharging the other Party from any liability for the breach thereof. Neither Party, nor its respective employees, agents or representatives, is authorized to, nor shall at any time attempt to, act on behalf of the other Party to bind the other Party in any manner whatsoever to any obligations.

15. Duty to Cooperate. If a Governmental Entity, Educational Agency, or third party files any type of Claim, or commences an investigation, adverse action, review or audit against Provider or one of its Affiliates or University or one of its Affiliates, in each case related, in whole or in part, to this Agreement and the Services provided hereunder, each Party (and its respective Affiliates, to the extent applicable) shall provide prompt notice to the other Party of such Claim, investigation, adverse action, review or audit and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other’s defense. Each Party (and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable) further agrees in principle to assert the common interest privilege and to execute such joint defense agreements, on customary terms, as may be necessary or appropriate for the protection of any privilege or confidentiality in the course of cooperating with the other’s defense. Provider and University (and their respective Affiliates, to the extent applicable) agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other upon reasonable request in writing any and all non-privileged or non-proprietary documents that either Party (or either of their respective Affiliates, to the extent applicable) has in its or their possession, which relate to any such claim, lawsuit, charge, investigation or audit. However, neither Party (nor any of their respective Affiliates) shall have the duty to cooperate with the other Party if the dispute is between the Parties themselves, nor shall this provision preclude the raising of cross-claims or third party claims between Provider and University (or one of their respective Affiliates) if the circumstances justify such proceedings. The Parties agree that this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

16. Survival of Obligations. Each Party’s obligations under this Section and Section 6.7 (Effect of Termination), the second sentence of Section 3.2 (Location of Services; Subcontracting), Section 3.6 (Compliance with Laws), Section 3.7 (Provider’s Compliance with Certain Educational Laws), Section 3.12 (Disclaimer of Warranties), Section 4 (University Roles and Responsibilities), Section 5 (Fees and Payments), Section 7 (Tax Matters), Section 8 (Indemnification for Third Party Claims), Section 9 (Confidentiality), the terms in Section 10 (Intellectual Property Rights) with respect to ownership of Intellectual Property and the irrevocable licenses, Section 11 (Limitation of Liability), Section 13 (Available Remedies), Section 14 (Relationship of the Parties), Section 15 (Duty to Cooperate), Section 18 (Miscellaneous), and University’s obligations under Exhibit D of this Agreement, shall survive the termination of this Agreement to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

17. Insurance. Each Party shall be solely responsible for obtaining workers compensation insurance for its employees and agents and such other insurance as may be required by Applicable Laws. In addition, each Party agrees to carry (or, in University’s case, to self-insure for) commercial general liability insurance with coverage including products and completed operations, personal and advertising injury, and cybersecurity insurance in amounts, and with scope of coverage, customary for similarly situated entities and as mutually agreed on by the Parties. Each insurance policy required above shall name the other Party as additional insured on broad form endorsements with respect to all bodily injury, personal injury, advertising injury, and

27

property damage liability arising out of the Party’s operations, services or products. Each such insurance policy shall be endorsed to provide that such coverage shall be primary over any coverage available to the other Party under its own insurance program in the event of any suit, claim, damages or loss. Each Party shall provide to the other party a copy or copies of a certificate or certificates of insurance or, in University’s case, evidence of a self-insurance program, demonstrating that the insurance coverage set forth above is in full force and effect no later than sixty (60) Business Days after the date of the Parties’ execution of this Agreement. Each party shall endeavor to provide the other Party at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice of any cancellation or material change in any policy of insurance for coverage required under this Agreement. Further, each Party shall maintain any insurance coverage referenced herein for a period of five (5) years after termination of this Agreement. To the extent, and only to the extent necessary to effectuate the Limitation of Liability provisions of Section 11, the University will use best efforts to obtain a waiver from its insurers of the insurers’ subrogation rights against Provider.

18. Miscellaneous.

18.1 Notices. All notices, demands and other communications to be sent to a Party under this Agreement shall be sent to such Party at the address as may be specified by the Party from time to time in a notice sent as provided in this Section, provided that the initial notice address for each Party is as follows:

18.2 Amendment; Waiver.

18.2.1 This Agreement, including the Exhibits and any Services Addendum, may be amended or modified only in a written instrument executed by each Party

28

hereto. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived only in a written instrument executed by the Party granting such waiver. The failure at any time of a Party to require performance by any other Party of any responsibility or obligation required by this Agreement shall in no way affect a Party’s right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver by a Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by any other Party constitute a waiver of any other breach of the same or any other provision nor constitute a waiver of the responsibility or obligation itself.

18.2.2 If continuing this Agreement or any particular Service hereunder could (a) as reasonably and in good faith determined by University (i) jeopardize University’s accreditation status with the HLC and/or other Educational Agencies (including, for example, where, due to a change in accreditation standards or Applicable Law, the performance standards applicable to Provider’s provision of the Services, as set forth in Section 3.4 (Services and Performance Standards) and Exhibit B, are required to be modified in order for University to achieve compliance with such changed standards or Applicable Law), (ii) cause, or could be reasonably likely to cause, the loss or material impairment of University’s status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code as a public charity more specifically described in Code Section 170(b)(1)(A)(ii), (iii) cause a loss of the tax-exempt status of any bonds issued by University, or (iv) cause, or be reasonably likely to cause, the loss or material impairment of University’s participation in the Title IV Programs or the imposition of material fines or repayment liabilities arising from such participation, or (b) as reasonably and in good faith determined by University or Provider, as a result of the creation, amendment or interpretation of any Educational Laws, significantly impact any material aspect of this Agreement, then, in each case (and subject to Section 18.11 (Dispute Resolution)), the Parties will negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement or such Services Addendum so as to address such issues in a manner that preserves, to the maximum extent feasible, the economic interests of both Parties and that is reasonably satisfactory to both Parties.

18.2.3 If, following the Effective Date, Provider determines to provide Services through one or more subsidiaries, then (subject to Section 18.3 (Assignment)) University agrees to execute an amendment to this Agreement and/or any new agreements with such subsidiaries, in each case which, taken in the aggregate, reflect the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

18.2.4 The Parties acknowledge that, during the term of this Agreement, the University may desire to refinance certain outstanding obligations with the proceeds of tax-exempt obligations. In connection with such refinancing, the Provider agrees to cooperate with the University to make changes to this Agreement that may be required in order for this Agreement to either meet the safe-harbors for qualified management contracts under IRS guidelines provided in Revenue Procedure 2017-13 (or any successor guidance) or to meet other requirements imposed by the IRS such that the provision of services by Provider under this Agreement does not result in private business use under Section 141(b)(1) of the Code or the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (and otherwise does not preclude availability of refinancing by means of tax-exempt obligations). The Parties agree that such changes shall include reasonable compensation to compensate for the impact of any such changes.

29

18.3 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party hereto. Except as provided below, neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned or delegated in whole or in part by a Party to any other Person, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Provider may, without the consent of University, (a) collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement to a lender to Provider, and (b) assign this Agreement and any right or obligation hereunder, or any portion hereof or thereof to one or more subsidiaries of Provider formed for the purpose of providing services such as the Services provided hereunder, provided that (i) any such subsidiary is wholly owned by Provider, (ii) Provider remains primarily liable for all of Provider’s obligations arising under this Agreement and also executes a guarantee of performance and payment by any such subsidiary of all such obligations, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to University, (iii) any such subsidiary agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement, and the assignment and assumption agreement is otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to University, and (iv) such assignment to any such subsidiary shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect if at any time such subsidiary is no longer wholly owned by Provider. For purposes of this Section, “assignment” includes any change in control of a Party, any subcontracting or other delegation by Provider of the performance of substantially all of the Services, and any transfer or assignment of this Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) in connection with any merger, sale of all or substantially all assets, or any other transaction.

18.4 Third Party Rights. Except to the extent provided in Section 8 (Indemnification for Third Party Claims), nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer, directly or indirectly, upon or give to any Person other than the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any covenant, condition or other provision contained herein.

18.5 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

18.6 Headings. The headings of the Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.

18.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Appendices, Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the agreements and instruments expressly provided for herein, as all of the foregoing may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, constitute the entire agreement of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

18.8 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be deemed in contradiction with the laws of any jurisdiction in which it is to be performed or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be deemed null and void, but this Agreement shall remain in full force in all other respects. Should any provision of this Agreement be or become ineffective because of changes in Applicable Law or interpretations thereof, or should this Agreement fail to include a provision that is required as a matter of law, the validity of the other provisions of this
