Such participation shall be subject to the terms, conditions, and overall administration of such plan or arrangement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create any obligation on the part of the Company to establish or maintain the effectiveness of any such or particular plan, program, or benefit, which may be subject to periodic review, modification, and/or termination by the Board. 3.

The Parties agree that the Executive’s inability to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s job, with reasonable accommodation, for 180 days in a 365-day period would constitute an undue hardship on the Company. (c) Termination by Company for Any Reason and Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time for any reason. Any termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement that does not constitute a termination by the Company for Cause under Section 3(d) and (e) shall be deemed a termination without Cause.

With respect to items (vii), (viii) and (ix), above, the Company will have no obligation to provide an opportunity to cure in the event the failure, violation, or breach is not reasonably susceptible to cure, and, in such event, the Company may terminate the employment for Cause with immediate effect.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events effected without providing the Executive’s prior notice of the changes: (i) the assignment to Executive of substantial new duties or a substantial reduction of Executive’s duties, either of which results in a material diminution in Executive’s position or responsibilities with the Company; (ii) a change in the Executive’s title or reporting structure so that he is no longer the Chief Medical Officer of Babylon; (iii) a reduction by the Company in the base salary of Executive unless similar such reductions occur concurrently with and apply to other members of the Company’s senior management; (iv) a move in the Executive’s normal place of work which is greater than fifty (50) miles from Boston, Massachusetts; or (v) any material breach by the Company of any material provision of this Agreement.

The Company reserves the right to terminate this arrangement during the Transition Period if the Executive is no longer acting as an owner, officer, or director of the Professional Corporation. The Parties expressly agree that the Transition Period shall not serve to extend any non-competition or other restrictive covenant restriction tied to the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred (A) by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions the sole purpose of which is to change the jurisdiction of Parent’s incorporation or to form a holding company that will be beneficially owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held Parent’s voting securities immediately before such transaction or (B) by virtue of the consummation of any other transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the Class A ordinary shares, Class B ordinary shares and/or any other class or classes of capital stock of Parent immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in and voting control over, and own substantially all of the shares of, an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of Parent immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.

However, in the event that Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause three months before or within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, then the Company shall pay, or reimburse to, the Executive an amount equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company for at least twelve (12) months. (v) In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause three months before or within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, then (A) the Company shall also pay the prorated amount of Executive’s target Bonus; and (B) and any outstanding unvested equity awards granted to Executive under Parent equity plans that vest solely based on continued employment or service, (i.e. time based) if any, will automatically become 100% vested. 5. Section 409A. (a) General. It is the intention of both the Company and Executive that the benefits and rights to which Executive could be entitled pursuant to this Agreement are exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code , to the extent that the requirements of Code Section 409A are applicable thereto, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with that intention. Nothing herein shall be construed as an entitlement to or guarantee of any particular tax treatment to the Executive. (b) Distributions on Account of Separation from Service. If and to the extent required to comply with Code Section 409A, any payment or benefit required to be paid under this Agreement on account of termination of Executive’s employment shall be made upon Executive incurring a “separation of service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A, no severance payment or other payments pursuant to, or contemplated by, this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement that are subject to Code Section 409A, if any, shall be made to Executive by the Company before the date that is six months after the Executive’s “separation from service” (or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death) if and only to the extent that such payment or benefit constitutes a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A. Any payment or benefit delayed by reason of the prior sentence shall be paid out or provided in a single lump sum at the end of such required delay period in order to catch up to the original payment schedule. (d) Treatment of Each Installment as a Separate Payment. For purposes of applying the provisions of Code Section 409A to this Agreement, each separately identified amount to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In addition, to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A, any series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.
9 US-DOCS\132691128.3 (e) Expenses.

The term “Restricted Territory” means each city, county, state, territory, and country in which (i) Executive provided services or had a material presence or influence at any time during the last two years of his employment with the Company or (ii) the Company is engaged in or has plans to engage in the Business as of the Date of Termination. 10. Non-Solicitation of Customers, Patients, and Clients. Executive agrees that during the Executive’s employment with the Company, and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination or Date of Resignation, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, solicit or negotiate with any customer, patient, client, or other business relation of the Company of which Executive is aware, or knowingly request or advise any customer, patient, client, or other business relation of the Company to curtail or cancel its business relationship with the Company. The Executive further represents that the Executive’s fulfillment of the obligations set forth in this Section 10 shall not cause the Executive any substantial economic hardship or render the Executive unemployable within the industry either during or after the non-solicitation period. 11. Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive agrees that during the while Executive is employed as an employee of the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination or Date of Resignation, the Executive shall not hire, solicit, recruit, induce, entice, or procure on the Executive’s own account or on behalf of any third party, any officer, executive, director, partner, principal, member, employee, physician, health care provider, representative, agent, consultant or other independent contractor of the Company, its Parent and subsidiaries of the Parent, or any person who was an officer, executive, director, partner, principal, member, employee, representative, agent, consultant or other independent contractor of the Company at any time during the final year of the Executive’s employment with the Company, to invest with, or work for the Executive without the express written consent of the Company.

Unless approved by the Board, Executive will not accept or pursue, directly or indirectly, any Corporate Opportunities on Executive’s own behalf. 13. Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall cooperate fully with Parent, the Company, or other subsidiaries of Parent in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of Parent, the Company, or other subsidiaries of Parent which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state, or local regulatory authority, or internal investigation by Parent, the Company, or other subsidiaries of Parent, in each case as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket
13 US-DOCS\132691128.3 expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 13. 14. Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges that the Proprietary Information was and, in the future, may be acquired and/or developed by the Company at great expense, constitutes a special, valuable, and unique asset of the Company, and is owned exclusively by the Company. The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protecting the Company’s Proprietary Information and other legitimate business interests. Therefore, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive’s failure to perform any of the covenants in Sections 7-11 of this Agreement would cause irreparable injury to the Company and cause damages to the Company that would be difficult or impossible to ascertain or quantify. Accordingly, without limiting any remedies that may be available with respect to any breach of this Agreement, the Executive consents to the entry of a temporary restraining order and/or an injunction to restrain any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company and without the posting of a bond or other security. Further, the Company shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses related to such breach or threatened breach. 15. Extension of Restrictions. In the event of a violation of the covenants contained herein and a proceeding instituted by the Company to prevent and enjoin such violation, then the period of time during which the Executive’s business activities shall be restricted, as provided in this Agreement, shall be lengthened by a time period equal to the period between the date of the breach of the terms or covenants contained in this Agreement and the date on which the decision disposing of the issues upon the merits shall become final or not subject to further appeal. 16. Choice of Law; Venue; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all matters or disputes relating to the validity, construction, performance, or enforcement hereof and Executive’s employment with Company, shall be governed, construed, and controlled by and under the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each party waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the courts in Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such action brought in Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas should be dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens, should be transferred or removed to any court other than one in Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding in any other court other than a court in Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by any court in Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas, and each party agrees not to commence any such action other than before a court in Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, a party may commence any action in a court other than a court in Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by a court in Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas. Each party agrees that for any action between the Parties arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, such Party will bring actions only in Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas. Each party further waives any claim and will not assert that venue should properly lie in any other location within the selected jurisdiction. The Parties consent irrevocably to the jurisdiction over them of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding. The Parties agree that the venue provided above is the most convenient forum for both Parties. Executive and Company permanently and irrevocably waive any objection to venue or jurisdiction and any objection 14 US-DOCS\132691128.3 based on a more convenient forum in any action under this Agreement. Executive, by and through Executive’s legal counsel, participated in the negotiation of all terms in this Agreement including without limitation this Section 16. By signing this Agreement, Executive and Executive’s legal counsel each represent and affirm that Executive is individually represented by legal counsel in negotiating the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation the choice of law and forum of this Section 16. 17. Withholding; Authorized Deductions; 280G. All payments made by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall subject to withholdings and deductions as required by applicable law and as authorized by the Executive. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or Parent’s applicable equity plan to the contrary, to the extent that any of the payments or benefits by the Company or otherwise to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Payments”) would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would, but for this Section 17, be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the amount of such Payments shall be reduced (in the order provided in this Section 17) to the minimum extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the Excise Tax on the Payments. (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no reduction of the Payments will be applied unless (i) the net amount of such Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income and employment taxes on such reduced Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Payments), is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income and employment taxes on such Payments and the amount of the Excise Tax to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Payments). (b) If reduction is applicable, the Payments shall be reduced in the following order: (i) reduction on a pro-rata basis of any cash severance payments that are exempt from Code Section 409A, (ii) reduction on a pro-rata basis of any non-cash severance payments or benefits that are exempt from Code Section 409A, (iii) reduction on a pro-rata basis of any other payments or benefits that are exempt from Code Section 409A and (iv) reduction of any payments or benefits otherwise payable to the Executive on a pro-rata basis or such other manner that complies with Code Section 409A; provided, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), that reduction of any payments attributable to the acceleration of vesting of Parent equity awards shall be first applied to Parent equity awards that would otherwise vest last in time. (c) To the extend Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) of the Code is available to exempt the Payments from being “parachute payments,” then, in lieu of applying the Payment reductions described in this Section 17, and provided that the Executive has waived his right to receive or retain the portion of the Payments in excess of three times his “base amount” within the meaning of Section 280G and the related regulations, the Company shall prepare and deliver to its stockholders a disclosure of such “parachute payments’ in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B)of the Code with respect to the Payments, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code 15 US-DOCS\132691128.3 and related regulations. To the extent Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) of the Code is not available to exempt the Payments from being “parachute payments,” the Company shall engage a nationally recognized accounting or consulting firm to propose actions that may be taken by the Company, consistent with the rules and regulations under Section 280G, to mitigate adverse tax consequences to the Company and to the Executive under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, and the Company shall reasonably consider such proposals. 18. Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Neither the Company nor the Executive may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest herein, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may assign its rights under this Agreement without any such further consent of the Executive to any successor in interest to the Company including in the event that the Company shall effect a reorganization, consolidate with, or merge into any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, organization, or other entity, or transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, organization, or other entity, in which event all references to the “Company” shall be deemed to mean the assignee or a designated affiliate of the assignee. In addition, the Company may assign this Agreement to another direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent. The Executive hereby consents to such assignment as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and further acknowledges and agrees that no further consent by the Executive is necessary to make such assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Executive, their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs, and permitted assigns. 19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Executive and the Company regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior written or oral agreements between the Parties concerning such subject matter. There are no representations, agreements, arrangements, or understandings, oral or written, between the Parties to this Agreement relating to the subject matter contained in this Agreement that are not fully expressed herein. 20. Enforceability; Severability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event that any portion or provision of this Agreement is determined by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of excessive scope as to geographic, temporal, or functional coverage, such provision will be deemed to extend only over the maximum geographic, temporal, and functional scope as to which it may be enforceable. 21. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained herein. 22. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. 16 US-DOCS\132691128.3 23. Notices.

The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, including without limitation that each of the Executive and the Company has negotiated the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 6-12 of this Agreement and the choice of law and choice of forum clauses herein with and through their respective independent legal counsel. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

By: Its: Chief People Officer EXECUTIVE Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx 18 US-DOCS\132691128.3 EXHIBIT A At will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement CONFIDENTIALITY AND BUSINESS PROTECTION AGREEMENT As a condition of my employment or continued employment (as applicable) with Babylon Inc. (the “Company”), a subsidiary of Babylon Holdings Limited (together with any sister corporations, subsidiaries, parents, or affiliates of the Company, the “Company Group”), and in consideration of my employment or continued employment (as applicable) with the Company, my access or continued access (as applicable) to confidential information and trade secrets, my eligibility to earn a performance bonus and my eligibility to receive a grant of equity, that I shall receive conditional upon signing this Agreement, which shall be consideration for my agreement to fulfill my obligations under Section 7, and my receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me by the Company, I agree to the following provisions of this agreement ( “Agreement”). This Agreement shall be effective as of the date on which it has been signed by both the Company and me (the “Effective Date”). 1. AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT I understand and acknowledge that my employment with the Company is for no specified term and constitutes “at-will” employment. I also understand that any representation to the contrary is unauthorized and not valid unless in writing and signed by the CEO of the Company. Accordingly, I acknowledge that my employment relationship may be terminated at any time, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at my option or at the option of the Company, with or without notice. I further acknowledge that the Company may modify job titles, reporting lines, salaries and benefits from time to time as it deems necessary. 2. CONFIDENTIALITY A. Definition of Company Confidential Information. I understand that “Company Confidential Information” means information (including any and all combinations of individual items of information) that the Company Group has or will develop, acquire, create, compile, discover or own, that has value in or to the Company Group’s business which is not generally known and which the Company Group wishes to maintain as confidential. Company Confidential Information includes both information disclosed by the Company Group to me, and information developed or learned by me during the course of my employment with the Company. Company Confidential Information also includes all information of which the unauthorized disclosure could be detrimental to the interests of the Company Group, whether or not such information is identified as Company Confidential Information. By example, and without limitation, Company Confidential Information includes any and all non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business and/or products, research or development of the Company Group, or to the Company Group’s technical data, trade secrets, personally identifiable information, protected health information, or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, or other information regarding the Company Group’s products or services and markets therefor, customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company Group on which I called or with which I may become acquainted during the term of my employment), software, developments, inventions, discoveries, ideas, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, and other business information disclosed by the Company Group either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or inspection of premises, parts, equipment, or other Company Group property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company Confidential Information shall not include any such information which I can establish (i) was publicly known or made generally available prior to the time of disclosure by the Company Group to me; (ii) becomes publicly known or made generally available after disclosure by the Company Group to me through no wrongful action or omission by me; or (iii) is in my rightful possession, without confidentiality obligations, at the time of disclosure by the Company Group as shown by my then-contemporaneous written records; provided that any combination of individual items of information shall not be deemed to be within any of the foregoing exceptions merely because one or more of the individual items are within such exception, unless the combination as a whole is within such exception. I understand that nothing in this Agreement limits employees’ rights to discuss the terms, wages, and working conditions of their employment, as protected by applicable law. Page 2 of 16 B. Nonuse and Nondisclosure. I agree that during and after my employment with the Company, I will hold in the strictest confidence, and take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of Company Confidential Information. I will not (i) use Company Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than for the benefit of the Company Group in the course of my employment, or (ii) disclose Company Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written authorization of the CEO, or the Board of Directors of the Company. Prior to disclosure, when compelled by applicable law, I shall provide prior written notice to the CEO, and General Counsel of the Company (as applicable). I agree that I obtain no title to any Company Confidential Information, and that the Company Group retains all Confidential Information as the sole property of the Company Group. I understand that my unauthorized use or disclosure of Company Confidential Information during my employment may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including, immediate termination and legal action by the Company Group. I understand that my obligations under this Section 2.B shall continue after termination of my employment and also that nothing in this Agreement prevents me from engaging in protected activity, as described in Section 14 below. C. Former Employer Confidential Information. I agree that during my employment with the Company, I will not improperly use, disclose, or induce the Company Group to use any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer or other person or entity with which I have an obligation to keep such proprietary information or trade secrets in confidence. I further agree that I will not bring onto the Company Group’s premises or transfer onto the Company Group’s technology systems any unpublished document, proprietary information, or trade secrets belonging to any such third party unless disclosure to, and use by, the Company Group has been consented to in writing by such third party and the Company. D. Third Party Information. I recognize that the Company Group has received, and in the future may receive, from third parties (for example, customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, partners, and collaborators) (“Associated Third Parties”), information which the Company Group is required to maintain and treat as confidential or proprietary information of such Associated Third Parties (“Associated Third Party Confidential Information”), and I agree to use such Associated Third Party Confidential Information only as directed by the Company and to not use or disclose such Associated Third Party Confidential Information in a manner that would violate the Company Group’s obligations to such Associated Third Parties. By way of example, Associated Third Party Confidential Information may include the habits or practices of Associated Third Parties, the technology of Associated Third Parties, requirements of Associated Third Parties, and information related to the business conducted between the Company Group and such Associated Third Parties. I agree at all times during my employment with the Company and thereafter, that I owe the Company Group and its Associated Third Parties a duty to hold all such Associated Third Party Confidential Information in the strictest confidence, and not to use it or to disclose it to any person, firm, corporation, or other third party except as necessary in carrying out my work for the Company consistent with the Company Group’s agreement with such Associated Third Parties. I further agree to comply with any and all Company Group policies and guidelines that may be adopted from time to time regarding Associated Third Parties and Associated Third Party Confidential Information. I understand that my unauthorized use or disclosure of Associated Third Party Confidential Information or violation of any Company policies during my employment may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination and legal action by the Company. 3. OWNERSHIP A. Assignment of Inventions. As between the Company and myself, I agree that all right, title, and interest in and to any and all copyrightable material, notes, records, ideas, drawings, designs, logos, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries and trade secrets conceived, discovered, authored, invented, developed or reduced to practice by me, solely or in collaboration with others, during the period of time I am in the employ of the Company (including during my off-duty hours), or with the use of the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or Company Confidential Information, and any copyrights, patents, trade secrets, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating to the foregoing, except as provided in Section 3.G below (collectively, “Inventions”), are the sole property of the Company. I also agree to promptly make full written disclosure to the Company of any Inventions, and to deliver and assign and hereby irrevocably assign fully to the
Page 3 of 16 Company all of my right, title and interest in and to Inventions. I agree that this assignment includes a present conveyance to the Company of ownership of Inventions that are not yet in existence. I further acknowledge that all original works of authorship that are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of my employment with the Company and that are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. I understand and agree that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market any Inventions is within the Company’s sole discretion and for the Company’s sole benefit, and that no royalty or other consideration will be due to me as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Inventions. B. Pre-Existing Materials. I will inform the Company in writing before incorporating any inventions, discoveries, ideas, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, trade secrets and other proprietary information or intellectual property rights owned by me or in which I have an interest prior to, or separate from, my employment with the Company, including without limitation, any such inventions that meet the criteria set forth herein under Section 3.G (“Prior Inventions”) into any Invention or otherwise utilizing any such Prior Invention in the course of my employment with the Company, and the Company is hereby granted a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable worldwide license (with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses) to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale, sell, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise exploit such Prior Inventions, without restriction, including, without limitation, as part of or in connection with such Invention, and to practice any method related thereto. I will not incorporate any inventions, discoveries, ideas, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, trade secrets and other proprietary information or intellectual property rights owned by any third party into any Invention without the Company’s prior written permission. I have attached hereto as Exhibit A, a list describing all Prior Inventions that relate to the Company’s current or anticipated business, products, or research and development or, if no such list is attached, I represent and warrant that there are no such Prior Inventions. Furthermore, I represent and warrant that if any Prior Inventions are included on Exhibit A, they will not materially affect my ability to perform all obligations under this Agreement. C. Moral Rights. Any assignment to the Company of Inventions includes all rights of attribution, paternity, integrity, modification, disclosure and withdrawal, and any other rights throughout the world that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights,” “artist’s rights,” “droit moral,” or the like (collectively, “Moral Rights”). To the extent that Moral Rights cannot be assigned under applicable law, I hereby waive and agree not to enforce any and all Moral Rights, including, without limitation, any limitation on subsequent modification, to the extent permitted under applicable law. D. Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate, current, accurate, and authentic written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the term of my employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, electronic files, reports, or any other format that may be specified by the Company. As between the Company and myself, the records are and will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times. E. Further Assurances. I agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Inventions in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments, and all other instruments that the Company shall deem proper or necessary in order to apply for, register, obtain, maintain, defend, and enforce such rights, and in order to deliver, assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title, and interest in and to all Inventions, and testifying in a suit or other proceeding relating to such Inventions. I further agree that my obligations under this Section 3.E shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. F. Attorney-in-Fact. I agree that, if the Company is unable because of my unavailability, mental or physical incapacity, or for any other reason to secure my signature with respect to any Inventions, including, without limitation, for the purpose of applying for or pursuing any application for any United States or foreign patents or mask work or copyright registrations covering the Inventions assigned to the Company in Section 3.A, then I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and Page 4 of 16 agents as my agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on my behalf to execute and file any papers and oaths, and to do all other lawfully permitted acts with respect to such Inventions to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyright and mask work registrations with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. This power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and shall be irrevocable. G. Exception to Assignments. I understand that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of Inventions to the Company do not apply to any Invention that I have developed entirely on my own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secret information or Company Confidential Information (an “Other Invention”) except for those Other Inventions that either (i) relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of such Other Invention to the Company’s business, or actual or anticipated research or development of the Company or (ii) result from or relate to any work that I performed for the Company or to any Company Confidential Information or Inventions, or if I work for the Company in a state covered by one of the state-specific statutes in Exhibit E at the time such Other Invention is conceived or reduced to practice, except for those Other Inventions that qualify fully under the provisions of the applicable state-specific statute in Exhibit E. I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, any Other Invention owned by me or in which I have an interest into a Company product, process or service without the Company’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate into a Company product, process, or service an Other Invention owned by me or in which I have an interest, I hereby grant to the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to reproduce, make derivative works of, distribute, perform, display, import, make, have made, modify, use, sell, offer to sell, and exploit in any other way such Other Invention, and to practice any method related thereto. I agree to advise the Company promptly in writing of any Inventions that I believe meet the criteria of this Section 3.G., and are not otherwise disclosed on Exhibit A, to permit a determination of ownership by the Company. Any such disclosure will be received in confidence. 4. CONFLICTING OBLIGATIONS A. Current Obligations. I agree that during the term of my employment with the Company, I will not engage in or undertake any other employment, occupation, consulting relationship, or commitment that competes with or is directly related to the business in which the Company Group is now involved or becomes involved or has plans to become involved, nor will I engage in any other activities that in the reasonable opinion of the Company conflict with my obligations to the Company. B. Prior Relationships. Without limiting Section 4.A., I represent and warrant that I have no other agreements, relationships, or commitments to any other person or entity that conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, my obligations to the Company under this Agreement, or my ability to become employed and perform the services for which I am being hired by the Company.

Moreover, I agree to fully indemnify the Company, its directors, officers, agents, employees, investors, shareholders, administrators, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, predecessor and successor corporations, and assigns for all verdicts, judgments, settlements, and other losses incurred by any of them resulting from my breach of my obligations under any agreement with a third party to which I am a party or obligation to which I am bound, as well as any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs if the plaintiff is the prevailing party in such an action, except as prohibited by law. 5.

All information, data, and messages created, received, sent, or stored in Company Electronic Media Equipment or Company Electronic Media Systems are, at all times, the property of the Company. As such, the Company Group has the right to audit and search all such items and systems, without further notice to me, to ensure that the Company Group is licensed to use the software on the Company Group’s devices in compliance with the Company Group’s software licensing policies, to ensure compliance with the Company Group’s policies, and for any other business-related purposes in the Company Group’s sole discretion.

I understand that it is my responsibility to comply with the Company Group’s policies governing use of the Company Group’s documents and the internet, email, telephone, and technology systems to which I will have access in connection with my employment. In addition, as to any personal Electronic Media Equipment or personal Electronic Media Systems or other personal property that I have used for Company purposes, I agree that the Company Group may have reasonable access to such personal Electronic Media Equipment or personal Electronic Media Systems or other personal property to review, retrieve, destroy, or ensure the permanent deletion of Company Group information from such equipment or systems or property or take such other actions that are needed to protect the Company Group or Company property, as determined by the Company Group reasonably and in good faith.

ARBITRATION AND EQUITABLE RELIEF A. Arbitration. In consideration of my employment or continued employment with the Company (as applicable), its promise to arbitrate all employment-related disputes with me, and my receipt of the compensation, pay raises and other benefits paid to me by the Company, at present and in the future, I agree that, except as set forth in Sections 12.A.(1), 12.A.(2), and 12.A.(3), below, any and all controversies, claims, or disputes that I may have with the (including any Company Group employee, officer, director, trustee, shareholder or benefit plan of the Company, in their capacity as such or otherwise), arising out of, relating to, or resulting from my employment or relationship with the Company or the termination of my employment or relationship with the Company, including any breach of this Agreement, shall be subject to binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”). The FAA’s substantive and procedural provisions shall exclusively govern and apply with full force and effect to this arbitration agreement, including its enforcement, and any state court of competent jurisdiction shall compel arbitration in the same manner as a federal court under the FAA. I agree that I may only commence an action in arbitration, or assert counterclaims in an arbitration, pursuant to this Section 12.A., on an individual basis and, thus, I hereby waive my right to commence or participate in any class or collective action(s) against the Company. Disputes that I agree to arbitrate, and thereby agree to waive any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under local, state, or federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII Of The Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the worker Adjustment And Retraining Notification Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Family And Medical Leave Act, the laws of the state in which I work for the Company as of the Effective Date, claims relating to employment status, classification and relationship with the Company, claims of harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, breach of contract, and any statutory or common law claims. I also agree to arbitrate any and all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation or application of this agreement to arbitrate, but not disputes about the enforceability, revocability or validity of this agreement to arbitrate or any portion hereof or the class, collective and representative proceeding waiver herein. With respect to all such claims and disputes that I agree to arbitrate, I hereby expressly agree to waive, and do waive, any right to a trial by jury. I further understand that this agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the company may have with me. I understand that nothing in this agreement requires me to arbitrate claims that cannot be arbitrated under applicable law, including the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. (1) Exception for New Jersey Employees. Without otherwise limiting my obligations to the Company and the Company Group as set forth in this Agreement and notwithstanding Section 12.A., I acknowledge that if I work for the company in the State of New Jersey as of the later of my first day of employment with the Company and the Effective Date, then this Agreement’s arbitration provision will not apply to any controversies, claims, or disputes alleging or asserting claims of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation pursuant to the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination or other anti-discrimination statutes. (2) Exception for New York Employees. Without otherwise limiting my obligations to the Company and the Company Group as set forth in this Agreement and notwithstanding Section 12.A., I acknowledge that if I work for the Company in the State of New York as of the later of my first day of employment with the Company and the Effective Date, then this Agreement’s arbitration provision will not apply to any controversies, claims, or disputes alleging or asserting claims of discrimination. (3) Exception for Illinois Employees. Without otherwise limiting my obligations to the Company and the Company Group as set forth in this Agreement and notwithstanding Section 12.A., I acknowledge that if I work for the Company in the State of Illinois as of the later of my first day of employment with the Company and the Effective Date, then this Agreement’s arbitration provision will not apply to any claims of unlawful discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. For the avoidance of doubt, I acknowledge that I may pursue such claims through either arbitral or judicial forums. Page 8 of 16 B. Procedure. I agree that any arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”), which are available at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx/ and from human resources, provided, however, that the JAMS Rules shall not contradict or otherwise alter the terms of this agreement, including, but not limited to, the below cost sharing provision and Section 13.B. below, as applicable. The arbitration shall be before a single arbitrator who shall be a former federal or state court judge. The arbitration shall apply the federal rules of civil procedure, except to the extent such rules conflict with the JAMS Rules. I understand that the parties to the arbitration shall each pay an equal share of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, except as prohibited by law, and understand that each party shall separately pay its respective attorneys’ fees and costs. In the event that JAMS fails, refuses, or otherwise does not enforce the aforementioned arbitration costs sharing provision, either party may commence an action to recover such amounts against the non-paying party in court and the non-paying party shall reimburse the moving party for the attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such action. I agree that the arbitrator shall consider and shall have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication, and motions to dismiss, prior to any arbitration hearing. I agree that the arbitrator shall issue a written decision on the merits. I also agree that the arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies available under applicable law. I agree that the decree or award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered as a final and binding judgment in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Subject to the FAA’s exclusive applicability to the enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate, I agree that the arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the state in which I work for the company as of the Effective Date to any dispute or claim, without reference to rules of conflict of law. To the extent that the JAMS Rules conflict with the substantive law of that state, the law of that state shall take precedence. I agree that arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted in Xxxxxx County, Texas, or in a location mutually agreed upon by the Company and me. C. Remedy. Except as prohibited by law or provided by this Agreement, arbitration shall be the sole, exclusive and final remedy for any dispute between me and the Company. Accordingly, neither I nor the Company will be permitted to pursue or participate in a court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration. D. Availability of Injunctive Relief. I agree that any party may also petition the court for injunctive relief where either party alleges or claims a violation of this Agreement or any other agreement between me and the Company regarding trade secrets, confidential information, assignment of intellectual property, noncompetition or nonsolicitation. I understand that any breach or threatened breach of any of the aforementioned agreements will cause irreparable injury and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy therefore and both parties to this Agreement hereby consent to the issuance of an injunction without posting of a bond. In the event either party seeks injunctive relief, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees without regard for the prevailing party in the final judgment, if any. Such attorneys’ fees and costs shall be recoverable on written demand at any time, including, but not limited to, prior to entry of a final judgment, if any, by the court, and must be paid within thirty (30) days after demand or else such amounts shall be subject to the accrual of interest at a rate equal to the maximum statutory rate. E. Administrative Relief. I understand that this Agreement does not prohibit me from pursuing an administrative claim with a local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency that is authorized to enforce or administer laws related to employment, including, but not limited to, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (and any state or local equivalent agency), the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities And Exchange Commission, or the Workers’ Compensation Board. This Agreement does, however, preclude me from pursuing a court action regarding any such claim, except as permitted by law. F. Voluntary Nature of Agreement. I acknowledge and agree that I am executing this Agreement, including its arbitration provisions, voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by the Company or anyone else. I further acknowledge and agree that I have carefully read this Agreement, including its arbitration provisions, and that I have asked any questions needed for me to understand the terms, consequences, and binding effect of this Agreement and fully understand it, including that I am waiving my Page 9 of 16 right to a jury trial. Finally, I agree that I have been provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of my choice before signing this Agreement. Initial here:___________________ 12. MISCELLANEOUS A. Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. With the exception of the arbitration requirements set forth herein, this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the state in which I work for the Company as of the Effective Date without regard to any state’s conflicts of law rules that may result in the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than that state. To the extent that any lawsuit is permitted under this Agreement and unless otherwise prohibited by law, I hereby expressly consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Xxxxxx County, Texas for any lawsuit filed against me by the Company. X. Xxxxxx of Trial by Jury. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY LAWSUIT IS PERMITTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND UNLESS OTHERWISE PROHIBITED BY LAW, I IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE MY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY GROUP AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING MY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s successors and assigns are authorized to enforce the Company’s rights under this Agreement. D. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits herein and any executed written offer letter between me and the Company, to the extent such materials are not in conflict with this Agreement, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and me with respect to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior written and oral agreements, discussions, or representations between us, and any representations made during my interview(s) or relocation negotiations. I represent and warrant that I am not relying on any statement or representation not contained in this Agreement. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary, compensation, conditions or any other terms of my employment will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement. E. Headings. Headings are used in this Agreement for reference only and shall not be considered when interpreting this Agreement. F. Severability. If a court or other body of competent jurisdiction finds, or the parties to this Agreement mutually believe, any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. G. Modification, Waiver. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any Page 10 of 16 waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in a writing signed by the CEO of the Company and me. Waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. H. Survivorship. The rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement will survive termination of my employment with the Company. 13. PROTECTED ACTIVITY NOT PROHIBITED A. I understand that nothing in this Agreement limits or prohibits me from filing a charge or complaint with, or otherwise communicating or cooperating with or participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by, any federal, state or local government agency or commission, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the National Labor Relations Board (“Government Agencies”), including disclosing documents or other information as permitted by law, without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from, the Company. Notwithstanding, in making any such disclosures or communications, I agree to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Company Confidential Information to any parties other than the Government Agencies. I further understand that I am not permitted to disclose the Company’s attorney-client privileged communications or attorney work product.

Accordingly, all officers, employees, and independent contractors must avoid activities that are in conflict, or give the appearance of being in conflict, with these principles and with the interests of the Company. The following are potentially compromising situations that must be avoided: 1. Revealing confidential information to outsiders or misusing confidential information. Unauthorized divulging of information is a violation of this policy whether or not for personal gain and whether or not harm to the Company is intended. (The At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement elaborates on this principle and is a binding agreement.) 2. Accepting or offering substantial gifts, excessive entertainment, favors, or payments that may be deemed to constitute undue influence or otherwise be improper or embarrassing to the Company. 3. Participating in civic or professional organizations that might involve divulging confidential information of the Company. 4. Initiating or approving personnel actions affecting reward or punishment of employees or applicants where there is a family relationship or is or appears to be a personal or social involvement. 5. Initiating or approving any form of personal or social harassment of employees. 6. Investing or holding outside directorship in suppliers, customers, or competing companies, including financial speculations, where such investment or directorship might influence in any manner a decision or course of action of the Company. 7. Borrowing from or lending to employees, customers, or suppliers. 8. Acquiring real estate of interest to the Company. 9. Improperly using or disclosing to the Company any proprietary information or trade secrets of any other employer or other person or entity with whom obligations of confidentiality exist. 10. Unlawfully discussing prices, costs, customers, sales, or markets with competing companies or their employees. 11. Making any unlawful agreement with distributors with respect to prices. 12. Improperly using or authorizing the use of any inventions that are the subject of patent claims of any other person or entity. 13. Engaging in any conduct that is not in the best interest of the Company. Each officer, employee, and independent contractor must take every necessary action to ensure compliance with these guidelines and to bring problem areas to the attention of higher management for review. Violations of this conflict of interest policy may result in discharge without warning. Nothing in these guidelines is intended to limit employees’ rights to discuss the terms, wages, and working conditions of their employment, as protected by applicable law, including any rights an employee may have under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. Also, nothing in these guidelines limits or prohibits employees from filing a charge or complaint with, or otherwise communicating or cooperating with or participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by, any federal, state or local government agency or commission, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the National Labor Relations Board (“Government Agencies”), including disclosing documents or other information as permitted by law, without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from, the Company. Notwithstanding, in making any such disclosures Page 14 of 16 or communications, employees must take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Company Confidential Information to any parties other than the Government Agencies. Employees may not disclose the Company’s attorney-client privileged communications or attorney work product.

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE From time to time, Babylon Partners Limited (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system. Getting paper copies At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below. Withdrawing your consent If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below. Consequences of changing your mind If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us.
