THIS Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made this 11th day of July, 2007, (the “Effective Date”), by

(collectively “Resources”), and Universal Technical Institute, with its principal place of business
located at 20410 North 19th Ave., Suite 200, Phoenix, AZ 85027 (“Client”), for Professional
Services (“Services”) to be provided by Resources as more fully set forth in the annexed
Statement(s) of Services.

Any Services requested subsequent to the Effective Date of the Agreement or individual amendments
to the provisions herein, will be set forth in additional Statements of Services, which shall be
agreed to and acknowledged, in writing, by both parties.

	 	1.	 	Independent Contractor Status

Resources is an independent contractor of Client, and the persons provided hereunder by Resources
to Client are Resources’ employees, or, in certain circumstances, independent contractors who have
contracted with Resources (collectively, the “Professionals”). Resources will notify Client
affirmatively in the applicable Statement of Services if such Professional is an independent
contractor.

	 	2.	 	Performance of Services

Resources will provide Client with Professionals to perform Services on a project or engagement
basis. A Statement of Services will summarize the scope of the engagement and any special services
provisions. Client is responsible for defining the scope and nature of the Services, providing
overall direction to the Professionals, and managing the projects and engagements under this
Agreement. As such, Client agrees to provide a safe working environment and all statutorily
required meal and other break periods as well as reasonable working space and materials which may
be necessary in connection with the performance of Services hereunder. The working papers prepared
by Resources in connection with the performance of Services will be the property of Client.
Resources’ Professionals shall not have the authority to act as an officer or director of Client or
to represent or obligate Client in any manner. The Services will not constitute an engagement to
provide independent audit or attestation services or result in the issuance of any written or oral
communications by Resources to Client or to any third party constituting legal advice or expressing
a conclusion or any form of assurance with respect to financial data or internal controls.

	 	3.	 	Services Agreement

This is a services agreement. Resources warrants it will perform Services hereunder in good faith.
Since Client shall direct and manage the Services provided hereunder, Resources makes no
additional warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including, without
limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality, suitability
or otherwise with respect to any Services performed by its Professionals in connection with the
Agreement, except as set forth in Section 4 below.

 

 

 

	 	4.	 	Representations and Warranties

Resources further represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Resources shall recruit, interview, qualify, select and hire or contract with the Professionals
who shall provide the Services hereunder. As the employer, Resources will: (i) supply only
individuals legally authorized to work in the United States; (ii) complete and maintain I-9 forms
in compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986; (iii) conduct background checks
to ensure its Professionals have no felony convictions during the seven years prior to employment
by Resources, nationally and by county of residence; (iv) maintain all necessary personnel and
payroll records for its Professionals; (v) calculate its employees wages and withhold applicable
taxes, Social Security and other government-mandated charges; and (vi) remit such
employment-related taxes and charges to the appropriate governmental entity.

(b) The Services will be performed using Professionals qualified and suitable to perform the
Services requested. Resources’ Professionals have the capability, experience and means necessary
to perform the Services contemplated by the Agreement. If such Services are not performed
satisfactorily, Client shall notify Resources, within ten (10) days of Client’s determination of
such unsatisfactory performance, to negotiate an appropriate credit, if any, of the fees incurred.

(c) Resources shall have sole responsibility to counsel, discipline, review, evaluate, set the pay
rates of, and terminate its Professionals assigned to provide Services to Client.

(d) Resources will perform the Services in a diligent manner in accordance with accepted
professional practices.

(e) Resources shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations,
codes, ordinances and orders, including but not limited to all laws and regulations applicable to
Resources’ Professionals. Resources and its Professionals have in effect and will maintain in
effect all permits, licenses, and other authorizations necessary for the performance of the
Services.

 

 

 

(f) Resources and its Professionals will observe Client’s rules as the same are made known to
Resources, including without limitation, those rules involving health, safety, the environment, and
security, when working at or around any of Client’s facilities.

(g) Resources, at the request of Client for any reason that is not unlawful, will remove any of its
Professionals assigned to perform Services for Client. This in no way affects the right of
Resources to assign and reassign its Professionals or, in its sole discretion as employer, to hire
and/or terminate the employment of its employees.

	 	5.	 	Mutual Indemnification

Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party and its
agents, parent, affiliates and subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all
third party actions, losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without
limitation, court costs and reasonable legal and professional fees) arising out of or relating to
the Agreement and based on any negligent act or omission or intentional misconduct of the
Indemnifying Party or its agents that results in or causes: (a) bodily injury or death; (b) any
destruction of or damage to tangible property, or loss of use resulting therefrom; or (c) any
violation of any statute, ordinance or regulation, except to the extent finally determined to have
resulted from the intentional misconduct or negligence of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying
Party’s obligations hereunder are conditioned upon the Indemnified Party providing the Indemnifying
Party with: (x) prompt written notification of the claim; (y) all reasonable information and
assistance, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend or settle such a claim; and (z) sole
control of the defense or settlement of such claim. The Indemnified Party reserves the right to
retain counsel, at the Indemnified Party’s expense, and to participate in the defense and
settlement of any such claim. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the completion or
termination of the Agreement.

	 	6.	 	Limitations of Liability

Neither Resources nor Client shall be liable for consequential, special, indirect, incidental,
punitive, or exemplary loss, damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation, lost profits
and opportunity costs). The maximum total liability of each party, its agents, parent, affiliates,
and subsidiaries, to the other for any actions, losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs or
expenses in any way arising out of or relating to the Agreement, shall not exceed the fees paid by
Client to Resources hereunder for the portion of Resources’ Services or work product giving rise to
such liability. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the completion or termination of
the Agreement.

 

 

 

	 	7.	 	Confidentiality

Resources and its Professionals will preserve the confidential nature of information received from
Client in accordance with Client’s established policies and practices, copies of which will be
provided to Resources and acknowledged by each Professional performing Services for Client (or, if
no such policies are provided by Client, with Resources’ written policies, a copy of which will be
provided to Client upon request).

Client agrees that it will hold in a confidential manner any and all information obtained by it
that contains private information about Resources or its employees including, but not limited to,
social security numbers, regardless of whether such private information was obtained through
Resources or through client’s own means.

Except as may be otherwise provided by Client’s policies or required by law, the obligations of
confidentiality shall not apply to information which (i) is or becomes publicly available by means
other than a breach hereof (including, without limitation, any information filed with any
governmental agency and available to the public); (ii) is known to, or rightfully in the possession
of, the recipient at the time of disclosure without breach or violation of any confidentiality
agreement; (iii) thereafter becomes known to or comes into the possession of the recipient from a
third party the recipient reasonably believes is not under any obligation of confidentiality to the
disclosing party and is lawfully in the possession of such information; (iv) is developed by the
recipient independently of any disclosures previously made by the disclosing party to the
recipient; or (v) is required to be disclosed by order, or the process, of a court of competent
jurisdiction, administrative agency or governmental body, or by subpoena, summons or other legal
process, provided that prior to such disclosure by the recipient the disclosing party is given
reasonable advance notice of such order or legal process and an opportunity to object to such
disclosure.

	 	8.	 	Payment for Services

Fees for the Services provided hereunder are based on the billing rates set forth in the applicable
Statement of Services. Client will reimburse Resources for actual expenses incurred by Resources’
Professionals in connection with the performance of Services. Fees and applicable expenses will be
billed weekly, payable upon receipt of Resources’ invoices. If the Statement of Services provides
for Client to pay a retainer prior to the commencement of Services, fees will not be billed against
the retainer. Resources reserves the right to collect interest or other penalty from Client for
promptly submitted invoices upon which payment is not received within thirty (30) days of Client’s
receipt of such invoice. Specifically, Resources shall be entitled to a late charge of the lesser
of (i) 11/2% per month or (ii) the highest rate allowable by law, in each case compounded monthly to
the extent allowable by law. Resources further reserves the right to withdraw all Professionals
provided to Client and to cease performing Services hereunder if any invoice is not promptly paid
when due.

If the Services requested are to be performed and/or invoiced outside the United States, the
applicable Statement of Services will set forth alternative billing, payment and tax provisions.

occur subsequent to expiration of the Agreement.
