nature, civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory, or other, whether at law, in equity, (each an “Action”) by a third party that arises out of or results from, or is alleged to arise out of or result from (a) [***]’s breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation of [***] (including any
action or failure to act by any permitted subcontractor that, if taken or not taken by [***], would constitute such a breach by [***]) under this Agreement; or (b) the negligence or reckless or willful misconduct of [***] or its permitted
subcontractors in connection with the Licensed Products or the performance of the Services, except (with regards to both (a) and (b) above) to the extent that Losses arise or result from (x) TransAct’s breach of any representation, warranty,

8.3 Indemnification Procedure. The Party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) will promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying
Party”) in writing of any Action for which it seeks to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8 and cooperate with Indemnifying Party in the defense of
such Action at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense (provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to compensate the Indemnified Party for its personnel’s time spent providing such cooperation). The Indemnifying Party shall
immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such Action and shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnifying
Party shall not settle any Action without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, unless such settlement is limited to monetary damages fully paid by the Indemnifying Party and does not include any admission of liability or equitable
remedy. An Indemnified Party’s failure to give prompt notice under this Section 8.3 will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder
except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnified Party may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of
its own choosing.
8.4 Infringement Remedy. If any of
the Licensed Products, or any component thereof, other than any proprietary materials of TransAct, is found to be infringing or if any use of any Licensed Products or any component thereof is enjoined, threatened to be enjoined, or otherwise the
subject of an infringement claim (collectively, an “Infringement Claim”), [***] shall, at [***]’s sole cost and expense, do one of the following as determined by [***]: (i) procure for TransAct and its customers the right to use the infringing Licensed Products, (ii) replace the infringing
Licensed Products with a non-infringing, functionally equivalent one, (iii) suitably modify any infringing Licensed Products so that it is non-infringing, or (iv) refund to TransAct a pro-rata portion of any Monthly Fees paid to [***] with respect
to the period remaining after the date of such Infringement Claim. The remedies set forth in this Section 8.4 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other remedies that may be available to TransAct under this Agreement or otherwise, including TransAct’s right to be indemnified for such Actions.
(a) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, IN NO EVENT SHALL
EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY

insolvent Party shall have the right to exercise all rights and elections under the Code and all other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws with respect to this Agreement and the subject matter hereof with respect to the other Party.
10.2 Escrow. In order to facilitate the agreements of the Parties hereunder and to provide continuity of services contemplated by this Agreement to any TransAct

accordance with, the laws of the State of Connecticut without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in federal or state court located in Hartford,
Connecticut.
10.4 Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right hereunder,
irrespective of the length of time for which such failure or delay shall continue, will operate as a waiver of, or impair, any such right. No single or partial exercise of any right hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right. No waiver of any right hereunder will be effective unless given in a signed writing.
10.5 Further Assurances. Each Party to this Agreement will, at the request of the other Party
and without charge (provided that the cost to the providing Party is reasonable under the circumstances), execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested to further confirm, carry out and otherwise
accomplish the intent and purpose of this Agreement.
10.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed amended to conform to applicable laws so as to be valid and enforceable, or, if it cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the Parties, it shall be
stricken, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
10.7 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims,
demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand; (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested);

development of Licensed Products, [***] shall not be relieved of its performance or obligations under this Agreement. [***] shall be solely responsible for each subcontractor’s full and timely performance, and the acts and omissions of each
subcontractor shall be deemed and treated as the acts and omissions of [***] itself. [***] shall also be solely responsible for compensating any subcontractors engaged by [***].

operation of the preceding sentence shall not, however, relieve a Party from its obligation to meet the time schedules required herein unless the Party shall have taken reasonable precautions to anticipate and avoid the occurrence of the force
majeure event and upon its occurrence shall have used all commercially reasonable efforts to ameliorate or eliminate its effect. In no event shall any postponement of either Party’s obligations hereunder as a result of a force majeure event exceed
the period of time that the force majeure had an effect on such Party. If a delay or interruption of performance by either Party resulting from a force majeure event exceeds thirty (30) days, then the other Party may terminate this Agreement by
delivering written notice of termination specifying the date of termination, even though such event does not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
10.13 Assignment. Neither this Agreement, nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder, may be
assigned or delegated by [***] without the prior written consent of TransAct, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of the foregoing, a change in control or ownership (whether resulting from a merger, sale or otherwise) of
[***], shall be deemed an assignment restricted hereunder. TransAct may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement to an affiliate of TransAct or in connection with any merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving TransAct (regardless of
whether TransAct is the surviving or disappearing entity), or a sale of all or substantially all of TransAct’s assets or business relating to this Agreement to a third party. Any assignment or delegation in violation of the foregoing shall be null
and void.

Parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Parties.

(12) months after any expiration or termination of this Agreement, neither Party shall, without the prior written consent of the other, solicit or hire any person employed by the other or formerly employed by the other within the preceding six
months (for clarification, general advertisements shall not be considered solicitation of persons).
