 ROYALTY RIGHT AGREEMENT 

Dated as of June 29, 2018 
 To the Purchaser
named on the signature page hereto 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Quotient Limited, a public limited liability company formed under the Laws of Jersey, Channel Islands (the “Seller”), hereby
covenants and agrees with you as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

RULES OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEFINED TERMS 

Section 1.1 Rules of Construction and Defined Terms. The rules of construction set forth in Annex A shall apply to this
Royalty Right Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Royalty Right Agreement as if set forth fully in this Royalty Right Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Royalty Right Agreement shall have the
respective meanings given to such terms in Annex A, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Royalty Right Agreement as if set forth fully in this Royalty Right Agreement. 

ARTICLE II 
 ROYALTY RIGHT

 Section 2.1 Sale of Royalty Right. The Seller hereby sells to the purchaser named on the signature page hereto (together
with any Person to whom the Royalty Right is Transferred pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Purchaser”) the Royalty Right in consideration for the consideration set forth in Section 2.7(b). The Royalty Right shall only be
evidenced by this Royalty Right Agreement and shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument. 
 Section 2.2 Payment
Procedures. (a) On or prior to each Royalty Right Payment Date, the Seller shall (i) pay, by wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the Purchaser Account, the Royalty Right Payment Amount with respect to the
corresponding Royalty Right Period and (ii) deliver to the Purchaser a report (a “Report”) setting forth (A) such Royalty Right Payment Amount and (B) MosaiQTM Net Sales for such Royalty Right Period, calculated
in reasonable detail. Each Report and the contents thereof shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be obligated to deliver any Report pursuant to this Section 2.2 unless the
Confidentiality Agreement is effective and has a remaining term of not less than six (6) months at the time such Report is to be delivered, 

(b) All payments made by or on behalf of the Seller (including any Successor Company) in respect of this Royalty Right Agreement or the
Royalty Right will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any
Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, will 

  
 1 











 
at any time be required by law to be made from any payments made by or on behalf of the Seller or paying agent with respect to this Royalty Right Agreement or the Royalty Right the Seller will
pay (together with such payments) such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Purchaser in respect of such payments, after such withholding or deduction
(including any such deduction or withholding from such Additional Amounts), will not be less than the amounts which would have been received by the Purchaser in respect of such payments on this Royalty Right Agreement or the Royalty Right, as
applicable, in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no such Additional Amounts will be payable for or on account of: 

(1) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the
Purchaser and a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (it being understood that a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is to be determined as though a payment with respect to this Royalty Right Agreement or the Royalty Right were made on the Issue Date) but
excluding, in each case, any connection arising solely from the acquisition, ownership or holding of this Royalty Right Agreement or the Royalty Right or the receipt of any payment or the exercise or enforcement of rights under this Royalty Right
Agreement or the Royalty Right; 
 (2) any Tax that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the Purchaser or the
beneficial owner of this Royalty Right Agreement or the Royalty Right to comply with a reasonable written request of the Seller addressed to the Purchaser, after reasonable notice (at least 30 days before any such withholding or deduction would be
payable), to provide certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Purchaser or such beneficial owner or to make any declaration or similar claim or satisfy any other reporting
requirement relating to such matters that is required by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction of, all or part of such
Tax but only to the extent the Purchaser or such beneficial owner is legally entitled to provide such certification or documentation; 

(3) any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from a payment under or with respect to this Royalty
Right Agreement or the Royalty Right; 
 (4) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, personal property or
similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 
 (5) any tax imposed by reason of the Purchaser’s or beneficial
owner’s past or present status (or the past or present status of a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, the Purchaser or beneficial owner, if the Purchaser or beneficial owner is an estate, a
trust, a partnership or a corporation) as a personal holding company, private foundation or other tax exempt organization, passive foreign investment company, controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States, bank, or as a
corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; or 

  
 2 











 (6) any combination of items (1) through (5) above. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller shall be permitted to withhold or deduct any amounts required by FATCA and the
Seller shall not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to any FATCA withholding or deduction imposed on or with respect to this Royalty Right Agreement or the Royalty Right. 

The Seller will (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable Law. The Seller will provide certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld to each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, or if such tax
receipts are not available, certified copies of other reasonable evidence of such payments as soon as reasonably practicable to the Purchaser. 

Wherever in this Royalty Right Agreement there is mentioned, in any context: 

(1) the Royalty Right Payment Amount; or 

(2) interest, if any, pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Royalty Right Agreement such reference shall be deemed to include
payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. 

The foregoing obligations will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Royalty Right Agreement or Royalty Right and any
transfer by the Purchaser or beneficial owner of this Royalty Right Agreement or the Royalty Right, and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any Successor Company is organized, engaged in business for tax purposes or
otherwise resident for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which any payment under, or with respect to this Royalty Right Agreement or Royalty Right is made by or on behalf of the Seller, or any political subdivision or governmental
authority thereof or therein having the power to tax. 
 Section 2.3 Notice of First Contract Date. Within fifteen
(15) days following the occurrence of the First Contract Date, the Seller shall provide notice in writing to the Purchaser of the date on which the First Contract Date occurred (the “First Contract Notice”). 

Section 2.4 Information Rights. Upon the Purchaser’s prior written request, the Seller shall meet at reasonable times during
normal business hours with the Purchaser up to two times per calendar year to discuss the content of any Report or First Contract Notice (or reasons for the lack of any Report or First Contract Notice). The Seller shall promptly furnish to the
Purchaser all relevant information and documentation in connection with this Royalty Right Agreement that the Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the determination of whether or when the First Contract Date occurred and whether the
calculation of MosaiQTM Net Sales or a Royalty Right Payment Amount is in error. The Seller agrees to maintain books and records relevant to the calculation of MosaiQTM Net Sales and Royalty Right Payment Amounts. Any information or
documentation discussed, provided or made available by the Seller pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be obligated to meet to discuss any Report or
First Contract Notice 

  
 3 











 
(or reasons for the lack of any Report or First Contract Notice), or provide or make available any information or documentation, pursuant to this Section 2.4 unless the Confidentiality
Agreement is effective and has a remaining term of not less than six (6) months at the time such information or documentation is to be discussed, provided or made available. 

Section 2.5 Audit Rights. Subject to reasonable advance written notice from the Purchaser within six (6) months of each
Royalty Right Payment Date, the Seller shall permit an independent accounting firm of national reputation chosen by the Purchaser to have access during normal business hours to the books and records of the Seller as may be reasonably necessary to
audit the calculation of MosaiQTM Net Sales and Royalty Right Payment Amounts (or reasons for the lack of any calculation therefor) for the applicable Royalty Right Period pertaining to such Royalty Right Payment Date. Any such audit shall be at
the expense of the Purchaser; provided, however, that if any such audit reveals a discrepancy in favor of the Purchaser of at least 5% of a Royalty Right Payment Amount, then the cost of such audit shall instead be borne by the Seller.
In the event that any audit reveals an underpayment of any Royalty Right Payment Amount, then the underpayment amount shall be paid within thirty (30) days after Purchaser makes a demand therefor, plus interest thereon if such amount is in
excess of five percent (5%) of the amount that actually should have been paid. Such interest shall be calculated from the date such amount was due until the date such amount is actually paid, at the rate of one-half percent (0.5%) over the
prime rate of interest as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such amount was due. The independent accounting firm conducting any audit pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall agree to be bound
by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement or shall otherwise agree to confidentiality provisions acceptable to the Seller. Any books and records, information or other documentation provided or made available by the Seller pursuant to this
Section 2.5 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be obligated to provide or make available any books and records, information or other documentation pursuant to this
Section 2.5 unless the Confidentiality Agreement is effective and has a remaining term of not less than six months at the time such books and records, information or other documentation is to be provided or made available. 

Section 2.6 Transferability of Royalty Right. Subject to the final sentence of this Section 2.6, at the option of the
Purchaser, the Royalty Right may be Transferred, in whole but not in part, but only in compliance with applicable Laws and upon three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Seller. Any request to Transfer the Royalty Right must be in writing and
accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of Transfer and any other documentation reasonably requested by the Seller (including a Confidentiality Agreement executed by the transferee and any new information in respect of the Purchaser
Account contemplated by the definition thereof) in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Seller. Upon receipt of such written request and other instruments and documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Seller, the Seller shall recognize the
requested Transfer, and Seller’s recognition of any such Transfer shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Any duly Transferred Royalty Right shall be the valid obligation of the Seller, evidencing the same right and
entitling the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Royalty Right Agreement as those previously held by the transferor. Any Transfer of the Royalty Right shall be without charge (other than the cost of any transfer tax, which shall
be the responsibility of the transferor). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the consent of the Seller shall be required with respect to, and the Seller shall 

  
 4 











 
have the right to decline to consent to and recognize, any Transfer that is proposed to be made to any Person that the Seller reasonably determines is a competitor of the Seller. 

Section 2.7 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Seller and the Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that the Notes issued to the
Purchaser (or its Affiliate) and the Royalty Right sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on the date hereof constitute an “investment unit” for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code. In accordance with Section 1273(b)(2) of
the Code and Section 1273(c)(2)(A) of the Code, the issue price of the investment unit is 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. Allocating that issue price between such Notes and such Royalty Right based on their relative fair market
values, as required by Section 1273(c)(2)(B) of the Code and U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h)(1), results in (a) such Notes having an issue price of 84.00% of the principal amount of such Notes and (b) such Royalty
Right having a purchase price of 16.00% of the principal amount of such Notes. The Seller and the Purchaser agree to prepare their respective U.S. federal income tax returns, including statements and reports related thereto, in a manner consistent
with the foregoing agreement, to the extent such returns, statements and reports are required to be filed. 
 Section 2.8 No
Partnership or Joint Venture. For the avoidance of doubt, the Royalty Right shall not represent any equity or ownership interest in the Seller or have any voting, management or dividend rights. The Seller and the Purchaser are not partners,
associates or joint venturers with each other, and nothing herein shall be construed to impose any liability as such on either of them or make them a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity or legal form. 

ARTICLE III  
 MERGERS

 Section 3.1 Mergers. The Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind
up or convert into (whether or not the Seller is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless
(a) the Seller is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, winding up or conversion (if other than the Seller) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or
other disposition shall have been made is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity organized or existing under the Laws of an Approved Jurisdiction (the Seller or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called
the “Successor Company”), (b) the Successor Company (if other than the Seller) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Seller under this Royalty Right Agreement pursuant to documents or instruments in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchaser, and (c) the Seller shall have delivered to the Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, winding up, conversion, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance
or other disposition and such documents or instruments (if any) comply with this Royalty Right Agreement. The Successor Company (if other than the Seller) shall succeed to, and be substituted for, the Seller under this Royalty Right Agreement, and
in such event the Seller will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Royalty Right Agreement.

Royalty Right Agreement, and to use any such Confidential Information and other information only in connection with this Royalty Right Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller may disclose such
information solely on a need-to-know basis and solely to its members, directors, employees, managers, officers, agents, brokers, advisors, lawyers, bankers, trustees, representatives, investors, co-investors, insurers, insurance brokers,
underwriters and financing parties; provided, however, that such Persons shall be informed of the confidential nature of such information and shall be obligated to keep such Confidential Information and other information confidential

Seller, in no event shall the Purchaser’s name (in any variation) be used in any public announcement or filing, or in any type of mail or electronic distribution intended for an audience that is not solely limited to the Affiliates of the
Seller. Except as required by applicable Law or judicial or administrative proceedings (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigation demand or similar process) or the rules and regulations
of any securities exchange or trading system or any Governmental Authority or pursuant to requests from regulatory agencies having oversight over the Seller, neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall disclose to any Person, or use or

TABLE OF CONTENTS AND HEADINGS 

Section 12.1 Table of Contents and Headings. The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Royalty Right
Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. 

ARTICLE XIII 
 TAX MATTERS; TAX
DISCLOSURE 
 Section 13.1 Tax Matters. The Seller and the Purchaser intend that the Royalty Right be treated for U.S.
federal, state and local tax purposes as a contractual right to receive the Royalty Right Payment Amounts, if any. The Seller and the Purchaser do not intend that the Royalty Right be treated as an equity or ownership interest in the Seller or that
any amount allocated to the Royalty Right pursuant to Section 2.7 be treated as a contribution to capital, and neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall take any action inconsistent with such treatment. The Purchaser shall treat the Royalty
Right Payment Amounts, if any, as ordinary income for U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes, and neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall take any action inconsistent with such treatment.

Section 13.2 Tax Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary herein, the Purchaser, on the one hand,
and the Seller, on the other hand, and its respective employees, representatives and agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and the tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Royalty
Right Agreement and the agreements and instruments referred to herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such Person relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided,
however, that neither such Person nor any employee, representative or other agent thereof shall disclose any other information that is not relevant to understanding the tax treatment and tax structure of such transactions (including the
identity of any party and any information that could lead another to determine the identity of any party) or any other information to the extent that such disclosure could reasonably result in a violation of any Law relating to federal or state
securities matters. For these purposes, the tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Royalty Right Agreement and the agreements and instruments referred to herein means the purported or claimed U.S. federal or state tax treatment of
such transactions. Moreover, the tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Royalty Right Agreement and the agreements and instruments referred to herein includes any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed
U.S. federal or state tax treatment of such transactions.
