Without limiting the generality of the foregoing statement, absent express, written consent of the other Party, neither Party shall disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to any third party (including a consultant or independent
contractor), and each Receiving Party shall protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information furnished by the Disclosing Party with at least the same degree of care the Receiving Party uses to safeguard its own highly sensitive,
proprietary information, and, in any event, shall exercise not less than the standard of care necessary to maintain and protect trade secret status for the Confidential Information (whether or not such Confidential Information actually constitutes a
trade secret), and each Party shall store the other Party’s Confidential Information in a safe and secure location. 

  

	6.02	Use of Confidential Information. Each Party shall only receive and use the other Party’s Confidential Information Internally and as strictly necessary to perform
its respective obligations under this Agreement. In doing so, each Party shall provide such Confidential Information only to those of its employees who have a legitimate “need to know” to effect such purpose, and who are bound in writing
to exercise the degree of care imposed by this Agreement with respect to the other Party’s Confidential Information. Upon written request of the Disclosing Party, unless such request would otherwise violate the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Receiving Party shall promptly return to the Disclosing Party all documents and other tangible objects containing or representing Confidential Information previously furnished by the Disclosing Party, along with any all copies
thereof. 

  

	6.03	Ownership of Confidential Information. The Parties expressly acknowledge that, at all times, each Disclosing Party retains any and all right, title and interest in and to its
own Confidential Information. To the extent the Receiving Party or its personnel acquires, by operation of law, any right, title or interest in or to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, such Receiving Party irrevocably assigns all
such right, title and interest exclusively to the Disclosing Party. Each Party shall maintain and enforce agreements and policies with its personnel sufficient to give effect to this section 6.03. 

  

	6.04	Exclusion(s) of Liability. Notwithstanding the above, the Receiving Party shall not have liability to the Disclosing Party with regard to any Confidential Information of the
Disclosing Party that (a) is shown by written documentation to be already in the possession of, known to, or independently developed by the Receiving Party prior to disclosure hereunder and prior to such Receiving Party having an obligation of
confidentiality with respect to such Confidential Information, in each case, provided that, to the extent such Confidential Information was obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party, such third party did not commit a breach of an obligation
of confidence with respect to such Confidential Information, (b) becomes publicly available through no fault or breach of the Receiving Party, (c) is shown by written documentation to have been obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party
without breach by such third party of an obligation of confidence with respect to the Confidential Information disclosed, or (d) has been or is developed by, as demonstrated through written documentation, the Receiving Party independently of
(i.e., without use of) any such Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party 

  

	6.05	Lawful Order and Reference Exception(s). In the event a Receiving Party is requested to disclose Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party pursuant to the lawful order
of a court of law or government agency, the Receiving Party may disclose such Confirmation Information, provided the Receiving Party promptly provides the Disclosing Party with written notification of the underlying request for disclosure and takes
any and all action (at the request and expense of the Disclosing Party) necessary to preserve the confidential nature of the Confidential Information, including, without limitation, moving to put in place an appropriate protective order.

 existence (but not the terms or conditions) of this Agreement to the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with
any reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission with which Client must, by law, comply; and, to the extent one or more of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, under a reasonable interpretation of relevant law, are required
to be disclosed to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Parties shall mutually agree, in writing, prior to any such disclosure, upon which terms and conditions shall be so disclosed and which terms and conditions shall be redacted (or
otherwise withheld from disclosure). In the event that the Parties cannot mutually agree regarding the requisite disclosure to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the securities counsel of the Party objecting to the disclosure of certain terms
and conditions shall issue a legal opinion regarding the appropriateness of such nondisclosure at the expense of the objecting Party and the disclosure shall be made in conformity with such opinion. The provisions contained in this section 6.05
shall not be construed to prohibit any activity of the Parties contemplated by section 12.01, below. 
  

	6.06	Confidentiality Term. Each Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the Termination (defined in section 9.04, below) of this Agreement, the obligations
regarding Confidential Information imposed by this Agreement shall continue in perpetuity following the date of Termination of this Agreement.

 ATTACHMENT A 
  
 INFORMATION SHEET 
  
 M*Modal’s AnyModalTM CDSTM product assists with the transcription of clinical information. For optimum productivity, AnyModal CDS is adapted for various medical fields and associated medical dictation practice, and the medical specialists
or “authors” who perform dictation within such fields and practice are enrolled by M*Modal into the AnyModal CDS system. This Information Sheet provides an overview of author enrollment procedure in the use of AnyModal CDS and the
adaptation of AnyModal CDS for particular medical fields/dictation practices. 
  
 Author Enrollment 
  
 To enroll an author, M*Modal’s client
begins by submitting through the AnyModal CDS user interface a request to initialize a customer of the client (a physician practice, clinic or hospital that has engaged the client to provide the service of transcribing dictation of clinical
information into textual medical reports), specifying the applicable medical field/dictation practice for which AnyModal CDS has been adapted, supplying the list of authors that the client wishes to enroll, and providing any other requested
customer-related information. Upon receipt of such data, M*Modal places the listed authors into “learning mode.” (Additional authors associated with an initialized client customer may be subsequently added by the client through a user
interface option.) 
  
 Recordings dictated by authors in learning mode are
submitted by the client’s transcription workflow software to AnyModal CDS, which AnyModal CDS stores for AnyModal CDS training purposes without producing a transcription. AnyModal CDS generates a “learning mode/no transcript
available” response to the submission of the recording along with a blank medical report template, and the client’s workflow software then places such recording with the blank report template into the transcription work queue for manual
transcription of the recording by client’s transcription personnel using the AnyModal CDS-based editing tools to fill in the report template. Upon completion of the transcription of the recording, the client transcription workflow software
submits the transcript (the completed medical report template) to AnyModal CDS and requests from AnyModal CDS a final medical report, which AnyModal CDS promptly returns. Submission by the client to AnyModal CDS of completed medical report templates
enables creation and tuning by AnyModal CDS of an “author profile” for the associated author. Once established, the author profile continuously generates a quality measure that estimates the expected accuracy of a draft medical report
document (a “Draft Transcript,” see more on this directly below) derived from use of AnyModal CDS by the particular author. With this quality measure, the client determines when the status of the author should be changed from
learning mode to “activated.” 
  
 For activated authors, the
client’s transcription workflow software submits dictated recordings to AnyModal CDS for assistance in transcription. AnyModal CDS returns to the client’s transcription workflow software a Draft Transcript of each such recording, and the
client’s transcription workflow software places the Draft Transcript into the editing queue for review and, to the extent necessary, editing by the client’s transcription personnel using the AnyModal CDS-based editing tools. The
client’s transcription workflow software then submits the reviewed/edited Draft Transcript to AnyModal CDS to receive a final medical report in return.

 Confidential Treatment Requested 
  
 AnyModal CDS Medical Domain Adaptation 
  
 Each medical field/dictation practice combination for which AnyModal CDS may be adapted by M*Modal for a client comprises the following distinct, yet related, components:
(1) a generally recognized and standard medical-treatment-related department within a client’s customer (the “Department Level”), (2) specified dictation instructions and habits as well as documentation procedures of the
dictating authors of client’s customer within such medical-treatment-related department, including specified recording setup (the “Client Customer Level”), and (3) training information sufficient to support the adaptation of
AnyModal CDS. Based on the type and amount of such information provided to M*Modal by its client, M*Modal and the client together will create an adaptation strategy, identifying the specific medical fields/dictation practices for which AnyModal CDS
will be adapted, as well as the timing associated with each such adaptation project. 
  
 To adapt AnyModal CDS for a particular medical field/dictation practice, M*Modal requires all available acoustic training information (medical reports and their respective recordings) and textual training information
(medical reports together with information concerning the client customer’s specific documentation practices, such as report templates, formatting, and “normals”) for the client’s customer. The client provides this information
from the client’s existing transcription workflow systems and medical record systems housing data relating to its customer, as well as from existing transcription workflow systems and medical record systems of the client’s customer, if
available. 
  
 The more existing information the client provides for each of its
customers, the better accuracy and higher coverage AnyModal CDS has early on in production in relation to the customer’s recordings submitted by the client to AnyModal CDS. Similarly, the more comprehensive the adaptation of AnyModal CDS in
connection with the particular client customer, the less training information is needed in the future to create a new Client Customer Level for the same or very similar Department Level. 
  
 Furthermore, for as long as AnyModal CDS is used by the client in connection with a specific medical field/dictation practice, AnyModal CDS
continues to improve its adaptation to such medical field/dictation practice – M*Modal’s proprietary “continuous adaptation” approach. With each reviewed/edited Draft Document returned by the client to AnyModal CDS in order to
obtain a final medical report (see Author Enrollment, above), M*Modal’s system uses the reviewed/edited Draft Document to improve the quality not only of future Draft Documents for the applicable Author, but also to improve AnyModal CDS at both
the Client Customer Level and Department Level.

Allies, Suite 700, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 15222 (“Escrow Agent”). (M*Modal, Transcend and Escrow Agent are each referred to from time to time herein as a “Party” and, collectively, as the
“Parties.”) 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 A. M*Modal and Transcend have entered into a certain Clinical Documentation
Solution Agreement, effective September 28th, 2004 (the “CDSA”), which concerns certain proprietary
software technologies of M*Modal (individually and collectively (as applicable), the “M*Modal Software”). 
  
 B. M*Modal desires to avoid disclosure to Transcend of the M*Modal Software in component-based form, as set forth on Exhibit A to this SSCEA, one or more
of which components may be in “Source Code” (as defined in the CDSA) form (the “M*Modal Software Components”), except under certain limited circumstances. 
  
 C. The availability, under certain limited circumstances, of the M*Modal Software Components is critical to Transcend in the
conduct of its business, and, therefore, Transcend requires an appropriate license to the M*Modal Software Components under such circumstances. 
  
 D. M*Modal and Transcend desire to establish an escrow arrangement with Escrow Agent to provide for the retention, administration, controlled access of,
and licensing to, Transcend of the M*Modal Software Components. 
  
 E. This Agreement shall be deemed “supplementary” to the CDSA as such term (i.e., “supplementary”) is used pursuant to section 365(n) of title 11 of the United States Code (Bankruptcy Code). 
  
 It is agreed as follows:

 Confidential Treatment Requested 
  

	1.2	Tangible Media Identification. Prior to each delivery of the Deposit Materials to Escrow Agent, M*Modal shall conspicuously label for identification each document, magnetic
tape, CD, DVD, or other media upon which the Deposit Materials are written or stored, and shall complete the form set forth in Exhibit B to this SSCEA (the “Deposit Form”) by listing each such Deposit Material by the item label
description, the type of medium and the quantity. Each Deposit Form shall be signed by the M*Modal-designated contact person listed on Exhibit C to this SSCEA (the “M*Modal Designated Contact”), delivered to Escrow Agent with the
Deposit Materials, and held and maintained separately by Escrow Agent within the escrow account. 

  

	1.3	Deposit Inspection and Acceptance. Upon receiving the Deposit Materials and corresponding Deposit Form from M*Modal, Escrow Agent shall conduct a visual deposit inspection.
In the event Escrow Agent determines that the labeling of the media matches the item descriptions and quantity set forth on the Deposit Form, Escrow Agent shall sign and date the Deposit Form and deliver a copy thereof to M*Modal and Transcend. In
the event Escrow Agent determines that the labeling does not match the item descriptions or quantity on the Deposit Form, Escrow Agent shall (a) note the discrepancies in writing on the Deposit Form; (b) sign and date the Deposit Form with such
discrepancies noted; and (c) deliver a copy of such Deposit Form to M*Modal and Transcend. Escrow Agent’s acceptance of the deposit shall occur upon Escrow Agent’s execution of the Deposit Form, and delivery of the copy of the Deposit Form
to Transcend shall constitute Transcend’s notice that the Deposit Materials have been received and accepted by Escrow Agent. Other than Escrow Agent’s inspection obligation(s) described immediately above, Escrow Agent shall have no
obligation regarding the accuracy, completeness, functionality, performance or non-performance of the Deposit Materials. 

  

	1.4	Deposit Confirmation. Upon written request of Transcend, M*Modal and Transcend shall confirm the compliance of any and all Deposit Materials as follows: M*Modal and Transcend
shall, in person, and together with Escrow Agent, remove the subject Deposit Materials from the escrow account. Then, at M*Modal’s office or datacenter, Transcend shall observe M*Modal uploading the subject Deposit Materials onto a computer
workstation containing the “Product/Technology Build Environment” specified on the Deposit Form for the subject Deposit Materials, and M*Modal will then compile or execute the M*Modal Software Components contained within the subject
Deposit Materials. In the event any Deposit Materials fail such confirmation testing, then (a) M*Modal and Transcend shall jointly inform Escrow Agent, and such non-performing Deposit Materials shall be immediately withdrawn from the escrow account
and shall no longer constitute Deposit Materials, and (b) M*Modal shall take such corrective action as necessary to cause such Deposit Materials to satisfy confirmation testing, upon completion of which such Deposit Materials shall be deposited into
the escrow account in accordance with this SSCEA. 

  

	1.5	Removal of Deposit Materials. Subject to sections 1.4, above, and 7.2, below, unless otherwise expressly provided in this SSCEA, the Deposit Materials may be removed or
exchanged only upon joint, written instruction to Escrow Agent signed by both the M*Modal Designated Contact and the Transcend-designated contact person listed on Exhibit C to this SSCEA (the “Transcend Designated Contact”).

 Article II – Deposit Release 
  
 As used in this Article II, “M*Modal” shall include any and all of M*Modal’s successors-in-interest with respect to, and permitted
assignees of, the CDSA, and Transcend shall include any and all of Transcend’s successors-in-interest with respect to, and permitted assignees of, the CDSA. 
  

	2.1	Release Events. As used in this SSCEA, “Release Event” shall mean one or more of the following: 

  

	 	(a)	M*Modal fails, in a material respect, to fulfill any outstanding obligation of M*Modal under the CDSA, thereby preventing Transcend from using the M*Modal Software in accordance
with the terms and subject to the conditions of the CDSA (each, an “Outstanding Obligation”), and, after receiving written notice of such alleged failure and a ninety (90) day cure period, M*Modal continues to fail, in a material
respect, to fulfill such Outstanding Obligation; or  

  

	 	(b)	M*Modal ceases doing business, which cessation causes M*Modal to fail, in a material respect, to fulfill any outstanding obligation of M*Modal under the CDSA, thereby preventing
Transcend from using the M*Modal Software in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the CDSA (each, an “Post-Cessation Outstanding Obligation”), and, after receiving written notice of such alleged failure and a
thirty (30) day cure period, M*Modal continues to fail, in a material respect, to fulfill such Post-Cessation Outstanding Obligations. 

  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this SSCEA, M*Modal’s failure to perform an Outstanding Obligation under subsection (a), above, or a
Post-Cessation Outstanding Obligation under subsection (b), above, must constitute a material breach under the CDSA for which material breach Transcend must first have given written notice and opportunity to cure as required under the CDSA before
written notice is provided under subsection (a) or (b), above. 
  

	2.2	Release Request. If Transcend believes, in good faith, that a Release Event has occurred, Transcend may provide Escrow Agent with written notice of the occurrence of the
Release Event and request for release of the relevant Deposit Materials. Such notice shall be written on Transcend company letterhead and signed by the Transcend Designated Contact, and shall contain the following: (a) a detailed description of the
particular M*Modal Software (and identification of corresponding M*Modal Software Components, specifying the portions thereof, where applicable), and (b) an undertaking from Transcend that the particular M*Modal Software Components requested by
Transcend shall be used only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the license set forth in Article III, below. Unless Escrow Agent either acknowledges or discovers independently, or through M*Modal or Transcend, its need for additional
documentation or information in order to comply with this section 2.2, Escrow Agent shall promptly provide a copy of the notice to M*Modal by overnight delivery via Federal Express. Such need for additional documentation or information may extend
the time period for Escrow Agent’s performance under this section 2.2. 

  

	2.3	Contrary Instructions. From the date Escrow Agent delivers the notice requesting release of the applicable Deposit Materials, M*Modal shall have ten (10) business days to
deliver to Escrow Agent written representation that a Release Event has not occurred or that Transcend is otherwise not entitled to receive the requested Deposit Materials (in each case, “Contrary Instructions”). Such Contrary
Instructions shall be written on 

  

 26 

 Confidential Treatment Requested 
  
 M*Modal company letterhead and signed by the M*Modal Designated Contact, and shall set forth M*Modal’s position
concerning the Release Event or why Transcend is otherwise not entitled to receive the requested Deposit Materials. Upon receipt of Contrary Instructions, Escrow Agent shall promptly send a copy to M*Modal and Transcend by overnight delivery via
Federal Express, notifying both M*Modal and Transcend that there exists a dispute to be resolved pursuant to Article IV, below. Upon such notification, Escrow Agent shall immediately submit a request for Arbitration (defined in section 4.1, below),
to the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association. Subject to section 4.3 of this SSCEA, Escrow Agent shall continue to store the requested Deposit Materials without release pending (a) joint, written
instruction signed by both the M*Modal Designated Contact and the Transcend Designated Contact, (b) dispute resolution pursuant to Article IV, below, or (c) an order from a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  

	2.4	Deposit Release. If Escrow Agent does not receive Contrary Instructions from M*Modal, Escrow Agent is authorized to, and shall promptly, release the requested Deposit
Materials to Transcend. Escrow Agent is entitled to receive any fees due Escrow Agent before making such release and any copying expenses shall be chargeable to Transcend. 

  

	2.5	Release Request and Contrary Instructions Independent. Each Release Request and each Contrary Instruction shall be treated independently for the purposes of this Article II.

  
 Article III – License Following Deposit Release

  
 As used in this Article III, “M*Modal” shall
include any and all of M*Modal’s successors-in-interest with respect to, and permitted assignees of, the CDSA, and Transcend shall include any and all of Transcend’s successors-in-interest with respect to, and permitted assignees of, the
CDSA. 
  

	3.1	Grant. In the event one or more of the M*Modal Software Components are released to Transcend under this SSCEA (the “Released Software Components”), Transcend
shall have a nonexclusive, nonassignable, nontransferable (including, without limitation, no sublicensing rights) license to Internally (as defined in the CDSA) use, adapt and reproduce the Released Software Components to the extent necessary to
perform, and for the sole purpose of performing, any Outstanding Obligation or Post-Cessation Outstanding Obligation, as applicable, under the CDSA. 

  

	3.2	Confidentiality. Transcend shall exercise best efforts to protect and maintain in strictest confidence the Released Software Components. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing statement, Transcend shall protect the confidentiality of the Released Software Components with at least the same degree of care Transcend uses to safeguard its own highly sensitive, trade secret information and (a) shall not disclose
the Released Software Components to any third party (including a consultant or independent contractor); (b) shall only disclose the Released Software Components to its employees who have a legitimate “need to know” to perform the
Outstanding Obligation or Post-Cessation Outstanding Obligation, as applicable, and who are under obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those imposed upon Transcend by this SSCEA; (c) shall not make any copies of the Released
Software Components unless clearly necessary to perform the Outstanding Obligation or Post-Cessation Outstanding Obligation, as applicable; and (d) shall store the Released Software Components off-line and in a locked storage area accessible only to
authorized employees who require such access to perform the Outstanding Obligation or Post-Cessation Outstanding Obligation, as applicable. For the purposes of this Agreement, any independent contractor of Transcend performing software-engineering
services for Transcend shall be considered an “employee” of Transcend (and shall not be considered an independent contractor), provided such 

  

 27 

 Confidential Treatment Requested 
  
 independent contractor is bound in writing to exercise the degrees of care imposed by the CDSA and this SSCEA to protect the
“M*Modal Solutions, Information and IP” (as defined in the CDSA) and the Released Software Components (and all intellectual property rights attendant thereto), has executed any and all written agreements for Transcend employees or
personnel referenced in the CDSA and in this SSCEA, and neither does nor shall perform work for any entity that could reasonably be deemed a competitor of M*Modal. 
  

	3.3	License Termination. Any license granted under this Article III shall terminate immediately upon occurrence of any of the following: 

  

	 	(a)	Transcend’s or M*Modal’s satisfactory performance of the Outstanding Obligation(s) or Post-Cessation Outstanding Obligation(s), as applicable;

  

	 	(b)	termination, expiration or cancellation of the CDSA (whether or not the license(s) granted therein have terminated, expired or cancelled); or 

  

	 	(c)	termination, expiration or cancellation of this SSCEA. 

  
 Upon the termination, expiration or cancellation of any license granted under this Article III, Transcend shall destroy the Released Software Components
(and any copies thereof). Such destruction shall be certified in writing on Transcend company letterhead by an officer of Transcend, and the certification shall be delivered to M*Modal and Escrow Agent. 
  

	3.4.	Retained Rights. Except for rights granted herein (per section 3.1, above), any and all right, title and interest (including, without limitation, patent, copyright and trade
secret rights) in and to the Released Software Components as delivered to Transcend by Escrow Agent and as may be used, adapted or reproduced by Transcend, and any derivative works of the Released Software Components, shall belong exclusively to
M*Modal. 

  
 Article IV – Dispute Resolution 

 

	4.1	Dispute Resolution. The Parties acknowledge and expressly agree that any dispute, difference or question relating to or arising between or among any of the Parties concerning
the construction, meaning, effect or implementation of this SSCEA, including, without limitation, any dispute contemplated under section 2.3, above, shall be submitted to, and settled by, binding arbitration by an single arbitrator chosen by the
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbiter”) in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitration”), subject to
section 4.2, below. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in a signed writing, the Arbitration shall take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Any court having jurisdiction over the matter may enter judgment on the award of the Arbiter. Service of a
petition to confirm the arbitration award may be made by overnight delivery via Federal Express to the relevant party. Unless adjudged otherwise, any costs of Arbitration incurred by Escrow Agent, including reasonable attorney fees and legal costs,
shall be divided equally and paid by M*Modal and Transcend. 

  

 28 

 Confidential Treatment Requested 
  

	4.2	Release Request Resolution Period. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by M*Modal and Transcend, any Arbitration arising under section 2.3, above, shall be requested and
conducted in the most expeditious manner afforded under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association. 

  

	4.3	Requested Order. If M*Modal or Transcend intends to obtain an order from an Arbiter (or any court of competent jurisdiction) that may direct Escrow Agent to take, or refrain
from taking, any action, such Party shall 

  

	 	(a)	provide Escrow Agent with at least five (5) business days’ prior notice of the hearing; 

  

	 	(b)	include in any such order that, as a precondition to Escrow Agent’s obligation, Escrow Agent shall be paid in full for any past due fees or expenses and shall be paid for the
reasonable value of the services to be rendered and expenses incurred pursuant to such order; and 

  

	 	(c)	ensure that Escrow Agent shall not be required to deliver the original (as opposed to a copy) of the Deposit Materials so that Escrow Agent may retain the original in its possession
to fulfill any of its other duties. 

  
 Article V –

warrants, during the term of this SSCEA, as follows:

	 	(b)	M*Modal lawfully possesses all of the Deposit Materials deposited with Escrow Agent;

	 	(d)	as of the Effective Date, the Deposit Materials are not the subject of any lien or encumbrance, and any liens or encumbrances made after the Effective Date shall not prohibit,
limit, or alter the rights and obligations of M*Modal, Transcend or Escrow Agent under this SSCEA; 

  

	 	(e)	along with the applicable M*Modal Software Components, the Deposit Materials contain the build environment and any other tools necessary to enable an individual reasonably skilled
in the practice of computer software development to compile or otherwise execute such M*Modal Software Components; and

 Article VI – Escrow Agent Liability 
  

	6.1	Reliance on Instructions. Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instruction, instrument, or signature of a Designated Contact reasonably believed by Escrow Agent to be
genuine. Escrow Agent shall not be required to inquire into the truth or evaluate the merit of any statement or representation contained in any notice or document. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for failure to act as a result of causes beyond
the reasonable control of Escrow Agent. 

  

 29 

 Confidential Treatment Requested 
  

	6.2	Indemnification. M*Modal and Transcend each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Escrow Agent from any and all claims, actions, damages, arbitration fees and
expenses, costs, attorney fees and other liabilities relating in any way to this escrow arrangement and incurred by Escrow Agent in relation to a third party, except where it is adjudged that Escrow Agent acted with gross negligence or willful
misconduct. 

  

	6.3	Limitation of Liability. In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable to M*Modal or Transcend for any incidental, indirect, special, exemplary, consequential or punitive damages
(including, without limitation, for loss of data, revenue, or profits) costs or expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and legal costs), whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, that may arise out of or in connection with this SSCEA; and

order from a court or other judicial tribunal pertaining to the disclosure or release of the Deposit Materials, Escrow Agent shall immediately notify Transcend and M*Modal by overnight delivery via Federal Express, unless prohibited by law from
doing so. It shall be the responsibility of M*Modal or Transcend to challenge any such order, provided, however, that Escrow Agent does not waive its right to present its position with respect to any such order. Escrow Agent shall not be required to
disobey any order from a court or other judicial tribunal. 

  

	7.2	Right to Make Copies. Escrow Agent shall have the right to make copies of the Deposit Materials as reasonably necessary to perform this SSCEA. To do so, Escrow Agent shall
