This Employment Agreement (“Employment Agreement”) is entered into as of February 23, 2021, by and between Quotient Limited (“Employer”) and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx (“Executive”) (collectively, the “Parties”).

B. Executive desires to be employed by Employer and is willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth below.

It is expressly agreed between the Parties that this Employment Agreement shall be subject to the competent authorities issuing the work and residence permits required for the Executive under Swiss law.

In consideration of the above recitals and of the mutual promises and conditions in this Employment Agreement, the Parties agree:

1. DUTIES AND AUTHORITY; OBLIGATIONS

1.1 Duties. Employer employs Executive as its Chief Executive Officer and Executive accepts such employment. Executive will perform all of the employment duties, responsibilities and job functions consistent with such a management position and such other duties and responsibilities consistent with the role of a Chief Executive Officer of a publicly-traded multi-national corporation as deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Employer (the “Board”) (collectively, the “Employment Duties”). Executive will exercise the authority consistent with those duties and responsibilities. Such Employment Duties may require the performance of work beyond customary office hours and involve varying work period hours and working conditions.

The Base Compensation will be paid in thirteen equal installments per annum, and in accordance with Employer’s standard payroll practices. Employer will withhold from the Base Compensation all payroll taxes and other deductions required by applicable law (including, but not limited to, with respect to social security) or authorized by Executive. The Base Compensation will be reviewed on the twelve-month anniversary of the Commencement Date (as defined below) and thereafter on an annual basis and may be increased as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. As part of such determination, the Board may take into account the average annual inflation rate in Switzerland. The undertaking to review Executive’s Base Compensation shall not create any entitlement to an increase in base salary. Executive will not be eligible for overtime pay for work performed outside Employer’s regular business hours.

2.2 Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be permitted to participate in any group life, hospitalization or disability insurance plans, health programs, retirement plans, fringe benefit programs and similar benefits that may be available to other senior executives of Employer located in Switzerland, generally on the same terms as such other executives, in each case to the extent that Executive is eligible under the terms of such plans or programs (the “Employee Benefits”). Employer will supply a credit card to Executive to be used solely for expenses incurred in carrying out the Employment Duties. The card must be returned by Executive to Employer immediately upon request by Employer. Employee Benefits for Executive will be provided at Employer’s expense except for any applicable premium contributions, co-pay obligations and taxes on reportable income applicable to Executive’s participation. Employer may adopt, amend, change, substitute, replace, suspend or terminate any of the Employee Benefits during the Employment Term in its sole discretion.

2.3 Specific Benefits. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.2, Employer shall make available to Executive twenty-five (25) vacation days per calendar year, and the standard legal holidays for the Executive’s base employment location specified in Section 3 (Place and Hours of Employment).

The assessment of the eligibility criteria as well as any actual payment under such ex gratia Bonus Schemes will be decided by the Employer in its absolute discretion. Any payment made in a given year shall not create any entitlement to any future payment under the Employer’s ex gratia Bonus Schemes. In addition, Executive shall be eligible to receive such other compensation and equity grants after commencing employment with the Employer as set forth on the attached Schedule 1.

3. PLACE AND HOURS OF EMPLOYMENT

Executive’s employment location during the Employment Term will be Eysins, Switzerland; provided, however, that Employer’s business needs may from time to time require Executive to travel and to be at other locations as necessary or required to fulfill Executive’s responsibilities.

For the avoidance of doubt, there is no probationary period with respect to the term of Executive’s employment. On and after the Commencement Date, Executive agrees to participate in investor communications as reasonably requested by the Employer.

7.4 Additional Instruments. Executive will promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Employer all additional instruments or documents that Employer determines at any time to be necessary to carry out the intentions of this Section 7. Furthermore, whether during or after Executive’s employment with Employer, Executive will promptly perform any acts deemed necessary or desirable by Employer, at Employer’s expense, to assist it in obtaining, maintaining, defending and enforcing any rights and/or assignment of an Employer Invention. Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Employer and its duly authorized officers and agents, as Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for, on behalf of and instead of Executive, to execute and file any documents, applications or related findings and to do all other lawfully permitted acts in furtherance of the purposes set forth above in this Section 7.4, including, without limitation, the perfection of assignment and the prosecution and issuance of patents, patent applications, copyright applications and registrations, trademark applications and registrations, or other rights in connection with such Employer Inventions and improvements thereto with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive.

8. INDEMNIFICATION OF EXECUTIVE

Employer will, to the maximum extent permitted by Employer’s bylaws and applicable law, indemnify and hold Executive harmless for any acts or decisions made in good faith while performing services for Employer; provided, however, that acts determined by the trier of facts to be acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct will not be deemed to be in good faith. To the same extent, Employer will pay, and subject to any legal limitations (including the obligation to repay such advances), advance all expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and costs of court-approved settlements, actually and necessarily
