      provided in Appendix I to this Agreement.

     
    
      In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
        are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

    

    

    

     

    AGREEMENT

     

    

    

    1.           



      Employment Period. Adtalem will employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby accepts employment with Adtalem, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The
      Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue thereafter until the first to occur of the events described in Section 8(a) (the “Employment Period”).

    

    

    
      2.      Position and Duties.

    

     

    

     (a)            Title; Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, the Executive will serve as the Senior Vice President, Chief Financial
        Officer and will have the normal duties, responsibilities and authority of that position, subject to the power of the CEO to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities and authority; provided, however, at all times, Executive’s duties,
      responsibilities and authority shall be commensurate with such duties, responsibilities and authority held by executives in comparable positions in corporations of similar size and scope to Adtalem in Adtalem’s industry. The Executive shall report to
      the CEO. In this trusted, executive position, the Executive will be given access to Adtalem’s Confidential Information. The Executive shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the performance of
      the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, including Adtalem’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

     

    
      3.      Compensation.

    

     

    (a)           
      Base Salary. The Executive’s Base Salary under this Agreement shall be at the initial annual rate of $480,000. The Executive’s Base Salary will be paid by
      Adtalem in substantially equal bi-weekly installments. The Base Salary will be reviewed annually by the CEO in coordination with the Compensation Committee and upon such review the Base Salary may be increased by the CEO in coordination with the
      Compensation Committee (but subject to any applicable Adtalem policy, law, or exchange listing requirement); provided, however, the Base Salary under this Agreement, including as subsequently adjusted upwards, may not be decreased thereafter except
      in the case of an across-the-board percentage reduction in base salaries of executives at the Executive’s level affecting such executives equally. All amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement will be subject to all required withholding
      by Adtalem. 

     

    

     

    

    
        

    

    
      
        


    

    

    

    
      
         

      

      

      

      

    

    (b)           
      Equity Awards. In addition to the Base Salary, the Executive shall be eligible for annual equity awards, as determined by Adtalem, the Board and/or Compensation Committee as necessary and
      appropriate to comply with Adtalem policy, applicable law, or exchange listing requirements, under Adtalem’s equity award plan(s) covering executives at the Executive’s level, as in effect from time to time.

     

    4.           Management Incentive. In addition to the Base Salary, the Executive will be eligible to receive an annual payment under Adtalem’s annual Management Incentive Plan (MIP), as in effect from time to
      time, upon the achievement of specific Adtalem-wide and personal performance goals that will be determined each fiscal year by the Executive’s direct supervisor and/or the Compensation Committee as necessary and appropriate to comply with Adtalem
      policy; provided, however, the MIP Award may be based on a higher or lower percentage of the MIP Target for performance which is in excess of target goals or below target goals, respectively. Any MIP Award due and owing hereunder with respect to any
      fiscal year shall be paid no later than the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of Adtalem’s fiscal year in which the MIP Award was earned.

     

     

    

    
       5.            Time Off. The Executive will be
        eligible to participate in Adtalem’s Flexible Time Office (FTO) program. Under this program, the Executive may take time off as needed, subject to manager approval, however, there is no specific allotment of days and no time off is accrued, as long
        as such program is offered by Adtalem and offered to leaders at employee’s level/grade.

    

    

    

    
      6.      Benefits. In addition to the Base Salary and other compensation provided for in Section 3 and Section 4 above, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in
        such health and welfare benefit plans (including Executive’s eligible dependents) and any qualified and/or non-qualified retirement plans of Adtalem as may be in effect from time to time; provided, however, that participation shall be subject to
        all of the terms and conditions of such plans, including, without limitation, all waiting periods, eligibility requirements, vesting, contributions, exclusions and other similar conditions or limitations. Any and all benefits under any such plans
        shall also be payable, if applicable, in accordance with the underlying terms and conditions of such plan document. Executive’s participation in the foregoing plans and any perquisite programs will be on terms no less favorable than afforded to
        executives at the Executive’s level, as in effect from time to time. Adtalem, however, shall have the right in its sole discretion to modify, amend or terminate such benefit plans and/or perquisite programs at any time. Adtalem will reimburse the
        Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in the course of performing Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement which are consistent with Adtalem’s policies and procedures in effect from time to time.

      Employment Period will end on the earlier of (i) the Executive’s death or Permanent Disability, (ii) the Executive’s resignation at any time with or without Good Reason, or (iii) termination by Adtalem at any time with or without Cause. Except as
      otherwise provided herein, any termination of the Employment Period by Adtalem or by the Executive will be effective as specified in a written notice from the terminating Party to the other Party; provided, however, if the Executive’s employment with
      Adtalem is terminated during the Employment Period by Adtalem without Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, the terminating Party must give the other Party at least thirty (30) days prior written notice. For avoidance of doubt, Executive’s
      voluntary retirement from Adtalem shall be deemed a resignation by Executive without Good Reason.

     

       (b)            Termination Due to Death or Permanent Disability. If the Employment Period is terminated pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) above, then, through the date of termination of Executive’s employment with Adtalem, the
        Executive will be entitled to the Accrued Benefits payable no later than thirty (30) days following Executive’s Termination Date. Except as set forth in this paragraph (b), the Executive will not be entitled to any other Base Salary, severance,
        compensation or benefits from Adtalem thereafter, other than those earned under any of Adtalem’s retirement or incentive plans or expressly required under applicable law. 

     

    (c)            Termination by Adtalem With Cause or By the Executive Without Good Reason. If the Employment Period is terminated by Adtalem with Cause or if
        the Executive resigns without Good Reason, then the Executive will only be entitled to receive the Accrued Benefits payable no later than thirty (30) days following Executive’s Termination Date. Except as set forth in this paragraph (c), the
        Executive will not be entitled to any other Base Salary, severance, compensation or benefits from Adtalem thereafter, other than those previously earned under any of Adtalem’s retirement plans or expressly required under applicable law. Within ten
        (10) days following notice of termination with Cause, the Executive may request of the CEO an opportunity to cure the Cause event, which request shall be determined by the CEO in the CEO’s sole discretion. 

     

    
      (d)            Termination by Adtalem Without Cause or By the Executive With Good Reason. If: 

    

    

    

    (i)          the Executive’s employment with Adtalem is terminated during the Employment Period (A) by Adtalem without Cause or (B) by the
        Executive with Good Reason; and

         (iii)    the Executive complies with the terms of this Agreement and the Release, 

      

      

       
      then the Executive will be entitled to receive:

        

      

      
        

          (A)            Accrued Benefits. the Accrued
              Benefits payable no later than thirty (30) days following Executive’s Termination Date;

           

          (B)            Base Salary and MIP Award. payment of an amount equal to
            one (1) times the sum of Executive’s Base Salary (at the rate then in effect) plus MIP Target, which shall be payable in twelve (12) equal monthly payments commencing with the first payroll period following the date the Release becomes legally
            effective; and

           

        

        
          Other  Benefits  the   following      “Additional Benefits”:

        

          

      

       

      

      
        	
                (C)

              	(I)	
                
                  Pro-Rated MIP Award. Provided that Executive has been employed for not less than six (6) months
                    during the fiscal year during which Executive’s Termination Date occurs, payment of a pro-rated MIP Award pursuant to Section 4 (based on the number of days in the fiscal year which have passed divided by 365) based upon accomplishment
                    of the relevant performance targets for the relevant fiscal year which includes the Executive’s Termination Date, which MIP Award shall be payable in a lump sum payment at the time all other MIP Awards for such fiscal year are paid to
                    the other Adtalem senior executives;

                   

                

              


        

        

      

    

    (II)            Health Continuation.  Twelve (12) months of continued health
      benefit plan coverage following the Termination Date at active employee levels and active employee cost for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents; such health benefits shall be provided and paid for by the Executive per regular payroll period
      of Adtalem commencing with the first payroll period following the Executive’s termination of employment and continuing until the earlier of (1) the twelve (12) month anniversary of Executive’s Termination Date, or (2) the date Executive is eligible
      for equivalent coverage and benefits under the plans and programs of a subsequent employer. Medical expenses (as defined in Code Section 213(d)) paid pursuant to this paragraph are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A to the extent permitted
      under Treasury Regulation §§1.409A- 1(b)(9)(v)(B) and -3(i)(1)(iv)(B). However, to the extent any health benefits provided pursuant to this paragraph do not qualify for exemption under Code Section 409A, Adtalem shall provide Executive with a lump
      sum payment in an amount equal to the number of months of coverage to which Executive is entitled times the then applicable premium for the relevant health plan in which Executive participated. Such lump sum amount will be paid during the second
      month following the month in which such coverage expires; and

    
       

      

      

    

    
        

    

    
      
        


    

     
       

    

     

    

     

      

     

      

    (III)            Outplacement Services. 
      Adtalem shall, at its sole expense, provide the Executive with a six (6) month senior executive level outplacement program the provider of which shall be selected by Adtalem in Adtalem’s sole discretion with such expenses being payable to the
      outplacement service as soon as administratively practicable but in no event later that the last day of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which such expense was incurred by the Executive.

     

    (e)            Specified
            Employee Six Month Delay Requirement.  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (d) immediately above, because
      Adtalem is a “public company” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, any amounts payable to the Executive during the first six months and one day following the Termination Date pursuant to paragraph (d) immediately above shall be deferred until the
      date which is six months and one day following such Termination Date, with the first payment being in an amount equal to the total amount to which the Executive would otherwise have been entitled during the period following the Termination Date of
      employment if the six-month deferral had not been required. Except as otherwise expressly provided in paragraph (d) immediately above, all of the Executive’s rights to Base Salary, employee benefits, severance and other compensation hereunder or
      under any policy or program of Adtalem which accrue or become payable on or after the termination of the Employment Period will cease upon such Termination Date other than those expressly required under applicable law.

     

    (f)            No Offset or
            Mitigation.  Except for such monies due and owing Adtalem, if Executive’s employment with Adtalem is terminated for any reason, Adtalem will have no right of offset, nor will Executive be under any duty or obligation to seek
      alternative or substitute employment at any time after the effective date of such termination or otherwise mitigate any amounts payable by Adtalem to Executive.

    

    

    
       9.      Change in Control.

      (i)         



      during the Change in Control Period, Adtalem terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause (other than for death or Disability) or the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason, and

      

      (ii)          the Executive executes the Release and such Release is not timely revoked by Executive and becomes legally effective; and 

     

    
      
          (iii)    the Executive complies with the terms of this Agreement and the Release, 

      

    

     

    

    

    then the Executive will be entitled to receive:

      following the date the Release becomes legally effective; and

       

    (C)            Other Benefits. 
      Additional Benefits as delineated in Section 8(d)(iii)(C) above except that in subsection (II) the reference to “twelve (12) months” shall be changed to “eighteen (18) months” and in subsection (III) the reference to “six (6) month” shall be changed
      to “nine (9) months.”

     

      (b)            Obligations of
            Adtalem upon Executive’s Death.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death during the Change in Control Period, Adtalem shall provide the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries with the
      Accrued Benefits, and shall have no other severance obligations under this Agreement. The Accrued Benefits shall be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date.

      

    

      (c)            Obligations of
            Adtalem upon Executive’s Permanent Disability.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s Permanent Disability during the Change in Control Period, Adtalem shall provide the Executive with the

      the Executive within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date.

    

    

      (e)            Anticipatory
            Change in Control.  If a Change in Control occurs and if the Executive’s employment with Adtalem was terminated by Adtalem without Cause within six (6) months prior to the date such Change in Control occurred, and if it is
      reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party who had taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation
      of a Change in Control, then Executive shall be deemed to have been involuntarily terminated by Adtalem without Cause during the Change in Control Period and shall be eligible to receive the monies and benefits under Section 9(a) rather than Section
      8(d) of the Agreement.

     

    
        

    

    
      
        


    

     

     

    

    
       

    

     

    

    
      10.      Confidential Information. 

      

      

    

    

    

     (a)            The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the continued success of Adtalem and its Affiliates depends upon the use and protection of a large body of confidential and proprietary information and that
      the Executive will have access to the entire universe of Adtalem’s Confidential Information (as defined below in Section 10(b)), as well as certain confidential information of other Persons with which Adtalem and its Affiliates do business, and that
      such information constitutes valuable, special and unique property of Adtalem, its Affiliates and such other Persons.

     

     (b)            Confidential Information. 
      For purposes of this Agreement, Adtalem’s “Confidential Information” shall include Adtalem and its Affiliates’ trade secrets as defined under Delaware law, as well as any other information or material
      which is not generally known to the public, and which: (a) is generated, collected by or utilized in the operations of Adtalem or its Affiliates’ business and relates to the actual or anticipated business, research or development of Adtalem, its
      Affiliates or Adtalem and its Affiliates’ actual or prospective Customers; or (b) is suggested by or results from any task assigned to the Executive by Adtalem or its Affiliates, or work performed by the Executive for or on behalf of Adtalem or its
      Affiliates. Confidential Information shall not be considered generally known to the public if the Executive or others improperly reveal such information to the public without Adtalem or its Affiliates’ express written consent and/or in violation of
      an obligation of confidentiality owed to Adtalem or its Affiliates. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the information, observations and data obtained by the Executive while employed by Adtalem concerning the business or affairs
      of Adtalem or its Affiliates, including information concerning acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to Adtalem or its Affiliates’ business or industry, the identities of and other information (such as databases) relating to the current,
      former or prospective employees, suppliers and Customers of Adtalem or its Affiliates, development, transition and transformation plans, methodologies and methods of doing business, strategic, marketing and expansion plans, financial and business
      plans, financial data, pricing information, employee lists and telephone numbers, locations of sales representatives, new and existing customer or supplier programs and services, customer terms, customer service and integration processes,
      requirements and costs of providing service, support and equipment.

     

     (c)            The Executive agrees to use Adtalem’s Confidential Information only as necessary and only in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. The Executive shall not, without Adtalem’s prior
      written permission, directly or indirectly, utilize for any purpose other than for a legitimate business purpose solely on behalf of Adtalem or its Affiliates, or directly or indirectly, disclose outside of Adtalem or outside of the Affiliates, any
      of Adtalem’s Confidential Information, as long as such matters remain Confidential Information. The restrictions set forth in this paragraph are in addition to and not in lieu of any obligations the Executive may have by law with respect to Adtalem’s
      Confidential Information, including any obligations the Executive may owe under any applicable trade secrets statutes or similar state or federal statutes. This Agreement shall not prevent the Executive from revealing evidence of criminal wrongdoing
      to law enforcement or prohibit the Executive from divulging Adtalem’s Confidential Information by order of court or agency of competent jurisdiction. However, the Executive shall promptly inform Adtalem of any such situations and shall take such
      reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of Adtalem’s Confidential Information until Adtalem or its relevant Affiliates have been informed of such requested disclosure and Adtalem has had an opportunity to respond to the court or agency. 

    

    

    

    

    
        

    

    
      
        


    

     

    

    
       
        

        

      

    

    

    

     (d)            The Executive understands that Adtalem and its Affiliates will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information ("Third Party Information")
      subject to a duty on Adtalem or its Affiliates to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions
      of this Section 10, the Executive will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel and consultants of Adtalem and its Affiliates who need to know such information in connection with
      their work for Adtalem or its Affiliates) or use Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by such third party or by the CEO.

       

     (e)            During the Employment Period, the Executive will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employers or any other person or entity to whom the
      Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and will not bring onto the premises of Adtalem or its Affiliates any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other person or entity to whom the Executive has an
      obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by the former employer or such other person or entity. The Executive will use in the performance of Executive’s duties only information which is (i) generally known and used by persons with
      training and experience comparable to the Executive's and which is (x) common knowledge in the industry or (y) otherwise legally in the public domain, (ii) otherwise provided or developed by Adtalem or its Affiliates or (iii) in the case of
      materials, property or information belonging to any former employer or other person or entity to whom the Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, approved for such use in writing by such former employer or other person or entity.

     

    

    11.            Return of
            Adtalem Property.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that all notes, records, reports, sketches, plans, unpublished memoranda or other documents, whether in paper, electronic or other form (and all copies thereof), held by
      the Executive concerning any information relating to the business of Adtalem or its Affiliates, whether confidential or not, are the property of Adtalem and its Affiliates. The Executive will immediately deliver to Adtalem at the termination or
      expiration of the Employment Period, or at any other time the CEO may request, all equipment, files, property, memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes, printouts and software and other documents and data (and all electronic, paper
      or other copies thereof) belonging to Adtalem or its Affiliates which includes, but is not limited to, any materials that contain, embody or relate to the Confidential Information, Work Product or the business of Adtalem or its Affiliates, which
      Executive may then possess or have under Executive’s control. The Executive will take any and all actions reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by Adtalem or its Affiliates from time to time in its sole discretion to ensure the continued
      confidentiality and protection of the Confidential Information. The Executive will notify Adtalem and the appropriate Affiliates promptly and in writing of any circumstances of which the Executive has knowledge relating to any possession or use of
      any Confidential Information by any Person other than those authorized by the terms of this Agreement. 

     

    

    

    

    
        

    

    
      
        


    

    
       

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    12.            Intellectual
            Property Rights.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that all inventions, technology, processes, innovations, ideas, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, trademarks, service marks, and other indicia of
      origin, writings, audiovisual works, concepts, drawings, reports and all similar, related, or derivative information or works (whether or not patentable or subject to copyright), including but not limited to all resulting patent applications, issued
      patents, copyrights, copyright applications and registrations, and trademark applications and registrations in and to any of the foregoing, along with the right to practice, employ, exploit, use, develop, reproduce, copy, distribute copies, publish,
      license, or create works derivative of any of the foregoing, and the right to choose not to do or permit any of the aforementioned actions, which relate to Adtalem or Affiliates’ actual or anticipated Business, research and development or existing or
      future products or services and which are conceived, developed or made by the Executive while employed by Adtalem or an Affiliate (collectively, the "Work Product") belong to Adtalem. The Executive
      further acknowledges and agrees that to the extent relevant, this Agreement constitutes a “work for hire agreement” under the Copyright Act, and that any copyrightable work (“Creation”) constitutes a
      “work made for hire” under the Copyright Act such that Adtalem is the copyright owner of the Creation. To the extent that any portion of the Creation is held not to be a “work made for hire” under the Copyright Act, the Executive hereby irrevocably
      assigns to Adtalem all right, title and interest in such Creation. All other rights to any new Work Product and all rights to any existing Work Product are also hereby irrevocably conveyed, assigned and transferred to Adtalem pursuant to this
      Agreement. The Executive will promptly disclose and deliver such Work Product to Adtalem and, at Adtalem's expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by Adtalem (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish, confirm and protect
      such ownership (including, without limitation, the execution of assignments, copyright registrations, consents, licenses, powers of attorney and other instruments). All Work Product made within six months after termination of the Executive's
      employment with Adtalem will be presumed to have been conceived during the Executive's employment with Adtalem, unless the Executive can prove conclusively that it was created after such termination.

     

    

    

    
      
        13.      Non-Compete, Non-Solicitation. 

        

        

      

    

     

    (a)            In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to the Executive hereunder, the Executive acknowledges that in the course of Executive’s employment with Adtalem, Executive has, and will continue to,
      become familiar with Adtalem's Confidential Information, methods of doing business, business plans and other valuable proprietary information concerning Adtalem, its Affiliates, and their customers and suppliers and that Executive’s services have
      been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Adtalem and its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and continuing for, as applicable, (i) twelve (12) months thereafter, regardless of the reason for the
      termination of Executive's employment other than under Section 9(a) above or (ii) eighteen (18) months in the event of a termination under Section 9(a) above (the "Restricted Period"), the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the Restricted Area: 

    

    

    
        

    

    
      
        


    

     
       
        

        

        

        

        

        

        

        

        

        

      

    

     (i)          own, manage, operate, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of, or be employed by, any entity which is in competition with the Business of Adtalem or its Affiliates in which the
      Executive would hold a position with responsibilities that are entirely or substantially similar to any position the Executive held during the last twelve (12) months of the Executive’s employment with Adtalem or in which the Executive would have
      responsibility for and access to confidential information that is similar to or relevant to that which the Executive had access to during the last twelve (12) months of the Executive’s employment with Adtalem; or 

    

     

      

     (ii)          provide services to any person or entity that engages in any business that is similar to, or competitive with Adtalem or its Affiliates’ Business if doing so would require the Executive to use or disclose
      Adtalem’s Confidential Information.

     

    Nothing herein will prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of any class
      of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as the Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.

     

    

    

     

    (b)            During the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, in any manner: (i) hire or engage, or recruit, solicit or otherwise attempt to employ or retain any
        individual who is or was an employee of or consultant to Adtalem or its Affiliates within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the termination of Executive's employment, (ii) induce or attempt to induce any individual who is or was an
        employee of, or consultant to, Adtalem or its Affiliates within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the termination of Executive's employment, to leave the employ of Adtalem or the relevant Affiliates, or in any way interfere with
        the relationship between Adtalem, its Affiliates and any of their employees or consultants, or (iii) recommend the hiring of, or provide a reference for any individual who was an employee of or consultant to Adtalem or its Affiliates (provided,
        however that the Executive may hire former employees and individual consultants to Adtalem and its Affiliates after such former employees or individual consultants have ceased to be employed or otherwise engaged by Adtalem or its Affiliates for a
        period of at least twelve (12) months).

     

    

    

    (c)            During the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly: (i) call on, solicit or service any Customer with the intent of selling or attempting to sell any service or product similar to,
      or competitive with, the services or products sold by Adtalem or its Affiliates as of the date of the termination of Executive's employment, or (ii) in any way interfere with the relationship between Adtalem, its Affiliates and any Customer,
      supplier, licensee or other business relation (or any prospective Customer, supplier, licensee or other business relationship) of Adtalem or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, by making any negative or disparaging statements or
      communications regarding Adtalem, its Affiliates or any of their operations, officers, directors or investors). This non-solicitation provision applies to those Customers, suppliers, licensees or other business relationships of Adtalem with whom the
      Executive: (1) has had contact or has solicited at any time in the twelve (12) month period of time preceding the termination of the Executive's employment; (2) has supervised the services of any of Adtalem's or Affiliates’ employees who have had any
      contact with or have solicited at any time during the twelve (12) month period of time preceding the termination of Executive's employment; or (3) has had access to any Confidential Information about such Customers, suppliers, licensees or other
      business relationships at any time during the twelve (12) month period of time preceding the termination of Executive’s employment.

     

    

     

    

    
        

    

    
      
        


    

    
       

    

     

    

     

    

    

    

    (d)            The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 13 with respect to time, geographical area and scope of activity are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint
      than is necessary to protect the goodwill and other legitimate business interests of Adtalem and its Affiliates. In particular, the Executive agrees and acknowledges that Adtalem is currently engaging in Business and actively marketing its services
      and products throughout the Restricted Area, that Executive's duties and responsibilities for Adtalem and/or its Affiliates are co-extensive with the entire scope of Adtalem's Business, that Adtalem has spent significant time and effort developing
      and protecting the confidentiality of its methods of doing business, technology, customer lists, long term customer relationships and trade secrets and that such methods, technology, customer lists, customer relationships and trade secrets have
      significant value. However, if, at the time of enforcement of this Section 13, a court holds that the duration, geographical area or scope of activity restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing or impose a greater
      restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and other business interests of Adtalem and its Affiliates, the Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated
      duration, scope or area and that the court will be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law, in all cases giving effect to the intent of the parties that the restrictions
      contained herein be given effect to the broadest extent possible. The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against Adtalem, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by
      Adtalem of the provisions of Sections 10, 11, 12 or this Section 13, which Sections will be enforceable notwithstanding the existence of any breach by Adtalem. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive will not be prohibited from pursuing such
      claims or causes of action against Adtalem. The Executive consents to Adtalem notifying any future employer of the Executive of the Executive's obligations under Sections 10, 11, 12 and this Section 13 of this Agreement.

     

    (e)            In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of Sections 10, 11, 12 or this Section 13, Adtalem, in addition and supplementary to any other rights and remedies
      existing in its favor, will be entitled to seek specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief (in the form of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and/or permanent injunction) from a court of competent jurisdiction
      in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof.

    

    

    
        

    

    
      
        


    

    
       

    

    

    

    

    

     

    (f)            Upon the Executive’s written request, the CEO may, in the CEO’s sole discretion, permit the Executive to engage in certain work or activity that is otherwise prohibited by this Agreement, if and only if the
      Executive first provides the CEO with written evidence satisfactory to the CEO, including assurances from any new employer of the Executive, that the contribution of Executive’s knowledge to that work or activity will not cause the Executive to
      disclose, base judgment upon, or use Adtalem’s trade secrets or other Confidential Information. The Executive shall not engage in such work or activity unless and until the Executive receives written consent from the CEO.

     

    (g)            Neither the CEO’s consent under Section 13(f) nor Adtalem’s failure to seek enforcement of any restrictive covenant under this Agreement shall be deemed a consent or waiver by Adtalem of any subsequent
      breach of this Agreement by the Executive and Adtalem shall have the right to seek enforcement of this Agreement against the Executive for any breach not specifically consented to in writing by the CEO or Adtalem.

     

    14.      Executive’s Representations. [RESERVED] 

    

    

    15.           Survival.  Any provisions which by its nature is intended to survive and continue in full force in accordance with its terms shall continue
      notwithstanding the termination of the Employment Period.

    

    

    16.            Notices. Any notice provided for in this Agreement will be in writing and will be either personally delivered, sent by reputable overnight courier

    or such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient Party will have specified by prior written notice to the sending Party. Any
      notice under this Agreement will be deemed to have been given when so delivered, sent or mailed.

     

    

    

    17.           Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but
      if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any action
      in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

     

    18.      Complete Agreement. This Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings,
      agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

     

    19.          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (including by facsimile signature pages), each of which is deemed to be an original
      and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.

     

    20.          No Strict Construction. The parties hereto jointly participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed
      to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their collective mutual intent, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person.

    

    21.          Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive, Adtalem and their respective heirs,
      successors and assigns. The Executive may not assign Executive’s rights or delegate Executive’s duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Adtalem. Adtalem may not assign its rights and obligations hereunder, without the
      consent of, or notice to, the Executive, with the sole exception being a sale to any Person that acquires all or substantially all of Adtalem whether stock or assets, in which case such consent of the Executive is not necessary. 

     

    
        

    

    
      
        


    

    

    

    

    

    
       
        

        

        

        

      

    

    

    

    22.            Choice of Law; Exclusive Venue.  THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL ISSUES AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
      CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW RULES OR PROVISIONS (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION
      OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE. SUBJECT TO SECTION 24 OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO SECTIONS 10, 11, 12 OR 13 OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN
      DELAWARE (COLLECTIVELY THE “DESIGNATED COURTS”). EACH PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE DESIGNATED COURTS. WITH RESPECT TO LITIGATION UNDER SECTIONS 10, 11, 12 OR 13
      OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS OR DEFENSES OF LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION DEFENSE, AND ANY OBJECTION WHICH SUCH PARTY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION
      OR PROCEEDING IN ANY DESIGNATED COURT, INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT ON THE BASIS THAT ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN THE DESIGNATED COURTS HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM OR VENUE.

     

    23.            Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any and all other disputes, controversies or questions arising under, out of, or relating to this Agreement (or the breach thereof), or, the
      Executive’s employment with Adtalem or termination thereof, other than those disputes relating to Executive’s alleged violations of Sections 10 (Confidential Information), 11 (return of property), 12 (intellectual property) and 13 (covenants of
      noncompete and non-solicitation) of this Agreement, shall be referred for binding arbitration in Chicago, Illinois to a neutral arbitrator (who is licensed to practice law in any State within the United States of America) selected by the Executive
      and Adtalem and this shall be the exclusive and sole means for resolving such dispute. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the National Rules for Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. The
      arbitrator shall have the discretion to award reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses to the prevailing party. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section 24 does not
      apply to any action by Adtalem to enforce Sections 10, 11, 12 and 13 of this Agreement and does not in any way restrict Adtalem’s rights under Section 22 of this Agreement.

     

    

    

     

    24.            Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION AS PERMITTED UNDER SECTION 22 (AND SUBJECT TO SECTION 23) OF THIS AGREEMENT, ADTALEM AND THE EXECUTIVE EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
      JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER SUCH PARTY, AS PERTAINS TO A
      CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE UNDER SECTIONS 10, 11, 12 OR 13 OF THIS AGREEMENT. ADTALEM AND THE EXECUTIVE EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION WILL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING,
      THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF
      SECTIONS 10, 11, 12 OR 13 OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER WILL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO SECTIONS 10, 11, 12 OR 13 OF THIS AGREEMENT. 

    

    

    
        

    

    
      
        


    

    

    

    
       

    

    

    

    

    

    25.            Indemnification. In addition to any rights to indemnification to which the Executive is entitled under Adtalem’s charter and by-laws, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Adtalem will indemnify, from
      the assets of Adtalem supplemented by insurance in an amount determined by Adtalem, the Executive at all times, during and after the Employment Period, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, shall pay the Executive’s expenses
      (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, which shall be paid in advance by Adtalem as incurred, subject to recoupment in accordance with applicable law) in connection with any threatened or actual action, suit or proceeding to which the
      Executive may be made a party, brought by any shareholder of Adtalem directly or derivatively or by any third party by reason of any act or omission or alleged act or omission in relation to any affairs of Adtalem or any subsidiary or Affiliate of
      Adtalem of the Executive as an officer, director or employee of Adtalem or of any subsidiary or Affiliate of Adtalem. Adtalem shall use its best efforts to maintain during the Employment Period and thereafter insurance coverage sufficient in the
      determination of the Board to satisfy any indemnification obligation of Adtalem arising under this Section 25.
