 ARTICLE II 

Services 

Section 2.01    Provision of Services. 

(a)    Commencing immediately after the Distribution, Nuance shall, and shall cause the applicable members of the Nuance
Group to, (i) provide, or otherwise make available, to Cerence Subsidiary and the applicable members of the SpinCo Group the Services set forth in Schedule A and (ii) pay, perform, discharge and satisfy, as and when due, its
and their respective obligations as Service Recipients under this Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(b)    Commencing immediately after the Distribution, Cerence Subsidiary shall, and shall cause the applicable members of
the SpinCo Group to, (i) provide, or otherwise make available, to Nuance and the applicable members of the Nuance Group the Services set forth in Schedule B and (ii) pay, perform, discharge and satisfy, as and when due, its and
their respective obligations as Service Recipients under this Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c)    Each Service Recipient and its respective Service Provider shall cooperate in good faith with each other in
connection with the performance of the Services hereunder. Each of Nuance and Cerence Subsidiary agrees to appoint an employee representative (each such representative, a “Service Coordinator”) who will have overall responsibility
for implementing, managing and coordinating the Services pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of Nuance and Cerence Subsidiary, respectively. Initially, the Service Coordinators will be the individuals set forth on Schedule E. Either Party
may change its designated Service Coordinator at any time upon notice given to the other Party in accordance with Section 10.12. The Service Coordinators will consult and coordinate with each other on a regular basis, and
no less frequently than monthly, during the term of this Agreement. 
 (d)    The Service Provider shall determine the
personnel who shall perform the Services to be provided by it. All personnel providing Services will remain at all times, and be deemed to be, employees or representatives solely of the Service Provider (or its Affiliates or Sub-Contractors) responsible for providing such Services for all purposes, and not to be deemed employees or representatives of the Service Recipient. The Service Provider (or its Affiliates or Sub-Contractors) will be solely responsible for payment of (i) all compensation, (ii) all income, disability, withholding and other employment taxes and (iii) all medical benefit premiums, vacation
pay, sick pay and other employee benefits payable to or with respect to personnel who perform Services on behalf of such Service Provider. All such personnel will be under the sole direction, control and supervision of the Service Provider and the
Service Provider has the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to the employment, substitution, termination, assignment and compensation of such personnel. 

(e)    The Service Provider may, at its option, from time to time, delegate any or all of its obligations to perform
Services under this Agreement to any one or more of its Affiliates or engage the services of other professionals, consultants or other third 

  
 5 

 
parties (each, a “Sub-Contractor”) in connection with the performance of the Services; provided, however, that (i) the
Service Provider shall remain ultimately responsible for ensuring that its obligations with respect to the nature, scope, quality and other aspects of the Services are satisfied with respect to any Services provided by any such Affiliate or Sub-Contractor and shall be liable for any failure of a Sub-Contractor to so satisfy such obligations (or if a Sub-Contractor otherwise
breaches any provision hereof) and (ii) such Sub-Contractor agrees in writing to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive to it as the terms of
Section 10.05 of this Agreement. Except as agreed by the Parties in Schedule A or Schedule B or otherwise in writing, and subject to Section 2.01(g), any costs associated with
engaging the services of an Affiliate of the Service Provider or a Sub-Contractor shall not affect the Cost of Services payable by the Service Recipient under this Agreement, and the Service Provider shall
remain solely responsible with respect to payment for such Affiliate’s or Sub-Contractor’s costs, fees and expenses. 

(f)    Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01, the Services shall be performed in
substantially the same manner, scope, time frame, skill, care, nature and quality, with the same care, and to the same extent and service level as such Services (or substantially similar services) were provided to the SpinCo Business or the Nuance
Business, as applicable, immediately prior to the Distribution Date, unless the Services are being provided by a Sub-Contractor who is also providing the same services to the Service Provider or a member of
such Service Provider’s Group, in which case the Services shall be performed for the Service Recipient in the same manner, scope, time frame, nature and quality, with the same care, and to the same extent and service level as they are being
performed for the Service Provider or such member of such Service Provider’s Group, as applicable. If the Service Provider has not provided such Services (or substantially similar services) immediately prior to the Distribution Date and such
Services are not being performed by a Sub-Contractor who is also providing the same services to such Service Provider’s Group, then the Services shall be performed in a competent and professional manner
consistent with industry standards. The Services shall be used solely for the operation of the SpinCo Business or the Nuance Business, as applicable (including any natural evolutions thereof), for substantially the same purpose as used by the
applicable Service Recipient immediately prior to the date of this Agreement. 
 (g)    The Parties acknowledge that
the Service Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing Services (including in respect of those Services provided by a Sub-Contractor) if the Service Provider is making similar
changes in performing the same or substantially similar Services for itself or other members of its Group; provided, however, that, unless expressly contemplated in Schedule A or Schedule B, such changes shall not affect
the Cost of Services for such Service payable by the Service Recipient under this Agreement or decrease the manner, scope, time frame, nature, quality or level of the Services provided to the Service Recipient, except (i) upon prior written
approval of the Service Recipient and (ii) any actual and reasonable increase to the Service Provider in the cost of providing a Service may be charged to the Service Recipient on a pass-through basis to the extent such actual and reasonable
increase is applied on a non-discriminatory basis as compared to the Service Provider’s Group. 

(h)    Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the provision of any Service by any Service Provider (or any
Affiliate or Sub-Contractor of a Service Provider) 

  
 6 

 
to any Service Recipient if the provision of such Service requires the Consent of any Person (including any Governmental Authority), whether under applicable Law, by the terms of any contract to
which such Service Provider or any other member of its Group is a party or otherwise, unless and until, subject to Section 2.01(h)(ii), such Consent has been obtained. 

(i)    The Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as possible any Consent of
any Person that may be necessary for the performance of the Service Provider’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Any fees, expenses or extra costs incurred in connection with obtaining any such Consents shall be paid by the Service
Recipient, and the Service Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide assistance as necessary in obtaining such Consents. 

(ii)    In the event that the Consent of any Person, if required in order for the Service Provider to provide Services,
is not obtained reasonably promptly after the Distribution Date, the Service Provider shall notify the Service Recipient and the Parties shall cooperate in devising an alternative manner for the provision of the Services affected by such failure to
obtain such Consent and the Cost of Services associated therewith, such alternative manner and Cost of Services to be reasonably satisfactory to both Parties and agreed to in writing. If the Parties elect such an alternative plan, the Service
Provider shall provide the Services in such alternative manner and the Service Recipient shall pay for such Services based on the alternative Cost of Services. 

(iii)    The Services shall not include, and no Service Provider (or any Affiliate or
Sub-Contractor of a Service Provider) shall be obligated to provide, any service the provision of which to a Service Recipient following the Distribution would constitute a violation of any Law. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Service Provider (and the Affiliates and Sub-Contractors of the Service Provider) will not be required to perform or to cause to be performed any of the
Services for the benefit of any third party or any other Person other than the applicable Service Recipient. 

(iv)    To the extent that any third-party proprietor of information or software to be disclosed or made available to any
Service Recipient in connection with performance of the Services hereunder requires a specific form of non-disclosure agreement as a condition to its Consent to use the same for the benefit of the Service
Recipient, or to permit the Service Recipient access to such information or software, the Service Recipient shall, as a condition to the receipt of such portion of the Services, execute (and shall cause its employees and Affiliates to execute, if
required) any such form. 
 (i)    If a Service Provider determines that it is necessary or appropriate to temporarily
suspend a Service due to scheduled or emergency maintenance, modification, repairs, alterations or replacements (any such event, a “Shutdown”), Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Service Recipient
with reasonable prior notice of such Shutdown (including information regarding the nature and the projected length of such Shutdown), unless it is not reasonably practicable under the circumstances to provide such prior notice, and thereafter such
Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Service Recipient to minimize any impact on the Services caused by such Shutdown.

  
 7 

 (j)    The Parties acknowledge that there may be unanticipated
temporary interruptions in the provision of a Service, in each case for a period of less than forty-eight (48) hours (any such event, an “Interruption”). Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide
Service Recipient with notice of such Interruption as soon as possible (including information regarding the nature and the projected length of such Interruption), and thereafter such Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cooperate with Service Recipient to minimize any impact on the Services caused by such Interruption. The Service Provider shall not be excused from performance if it fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the situation causing such
Interruption.
 (k)    In the event the obligations of Service Provider to provide any Service shall be suspended in
accordance with Section 2.01(i) or Section 2.01(j), Service Provider and its Affiliates shall not have any liability whatsoever to Service Recipient arising out of or resulting from
such suspension of Service Provider’s provision of such Service, except to the extent resulting from a breach by Service Provider of any agreement or covenant required to be performed or complied with by Service Provider pursuant to
Section 2.01(i) or Section 2.01(j) (but subject to the other limitations on liability set forth in this Agreement). 

(l)    Neither Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligation to purchase, upgrade, enhance or
otherwise modify any computer hardware, software or network environment currently used by such Party or such Party’s Affiliates, or to provide any support or maintenance services for any computer hardware, software or network environment that
has been upgraded, enhanced or otherwise modified from the computer hardware, software or network environments that are currently used by such Party or such Party’s Affiliates. 

Section 2.02    Service Amendments and Additions. 

(a)    Within the first forty-five (45) days following the Distribution Date, each of Nuance and Cerence Subsidiary
may request the other Party to provide services that (i) were provided by the Nuance Business or the SpinCo Business, as applicable, within the twelve (12) months prior to the Distribution Date and (ii) are reasonably necessary for
the operation of the Nuance Business or the SpinCo Business, as applicable, as conducted as of the Distribution Date (“Omitted Services”). Any request for an Omitted Service shall be in writing and shall specify, as applicable,
(A) the type and the scope of the requested service, (B) who is requested to perform the requested service, (C) where and to whom the requested service is to be provided and (D) the proposed term for the requested service. The
Parties shall discuss in good faith the terms under which such Omitted Services may be provided. 
 (b)    If a Party
agrees to provide Omitted Services pursuant to Section 2.02(a), then the Parties shall in good faith negotiate an amendment to Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, which will describe in detail the
service, project scope, term, price and payment terms to be charged for such Omitted Services. Once agreed to in writing, the amendment to Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of such date
and the Omitted Services, as applicable, shall be deemed “Services” provided hereunder, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Service Provider shall be required to
provide any Omitted Services, at any price, that would prevent, or 

  
 8 

 
be reasonably likely to prevent, or be inconsistent with the qualification of the Distribution as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal, state and local
income tax purposes. 
 Section 2.03    Migration Projects. Prior to the end of the applicable term, each
Service Provider will provide the Service Recipient, upon written request (the “Project Work Request”), with such reasonable support as may be necessary to migrate the Services to the Service Recipient’s internal organization
or to a third party provider (the “Project Work”), including exporting and providing (subject to applicable Law) all relevant data and information of the applicable Service Recipient from the systems of the applicable Service
Provider or any party performing the Services on its behalf. After the Service Provider receives the Project Work Request, the Parties shall meet to discuss and agree on the scope and cost of the Project Work, taking into consideration the Service
Provider’s then-available resources. Where required for migrating the Services, subject to applicable Law, Service Recipient’s personnel will be granted reasonable access to the respective facilities of the Service Provider during normal
business hours. Subject to applicable Law, Project Work may be out-sourced to external service partners (including those involving conversion programs or other programming, or extraordinary management
supervision or coordination); provided, that the Service Provider shall be responsible for the performance or non-performance of such partners. The Service Recipient shall pay its internal costs
incurred in connection with all Project Work performed by its personnel and the internal costs of the Service Provider and the cost of all third-party providers engaged in completing a Project Work all shall be charged by the Service Provider to the
Service Recipient on a pass-through basis. For the avoidance of doubt, any portion of the cost of Project Work associated with the setup of the Service Recipient’s data warehousing infrastructure or hosting environment shall be charged by the
Service Provider to the Service Recipient on a pass-through basis.  

Section 2.04    No Management Authority. No Service Provider (or any Affiliate or Sub-Contractor of a Service Provider) shall be authorized by, or shall have any responsibility under, this Agreement to manage the affairs of the business of any Service Recipient, or to hold itself out as an agent
or representative of the Service Recipient. 
 Section 2.05    Acknowledgement and Representation. Each
Party understands that the Services provided hereunder are transitional in nature. Each Party understands and agrees that the other Party is not in the business of providing Services to third parties and, except as set forth in
Section 6.02, that neither Party has any interest in continuing (i) any Service beyond the Applicable Termination Date or (ii) this Agreement beyond the expiration of all Applicable Termination Dates or the
termination of all Services in accordance with Section 6.04. As a result, the Parties have allocated responsibilities and risks of loss and limited liabilities of the Parties as stated in this Agreement based on the
recognition that each Party is not in the business of providing Services to third parties. Such allocations and limitations are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between the Parties and neither Party would be able or willing to
provide the Services without the protections provided by such allocations and limitations. During the term of this Agreement, each Party agrees to work diligently and expeditiously to establish its own logistics, infrastructure and systems to enable
a transition to its own internal organization or other third-party providers of the Services and agrees to use its reasonable good faith efforts to reduce or eliminate its and its Affiliates’ dependency
on the other Party’s provision of the Services as soon as is reasonably practicable.

required in furtherance of the activities of the Nuance Business or the SpinCo Business, as applicable, or the other purposes set forth in this Agreement. The Service Recipient shall be responsible for pickup and delivery of goods at any common

against liability with respect to accidents occurring on, in or about the applicable Shared Real Property or arising out of the use and occupancy of such Shared Real Property by the Service Recipient and its personnel and visitors. All such
insurance policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation in the applicable Service Provider’s favor. The Parties acknowledge that the Service Providers shall have no responsibility to insure or actively maintain any Service Recipient’s
personal property, including any Service Recipient’s equipment and trade fixtures, located in the Shared Real Property. Notwithstanding the aforesaid liability limits, said limits shall not diminish or otherwise impact or affect the obligations
of the Parties and their Service Recipients hereunder. The policy(s) maintained by the applicable Service Recipient shall be issued by a company licensed to do business in the country where the Shared Real Property is located and the applicable
Service Recipient shall deposit a certificate evidencing the same with the applicable Service Provider on or before the Distribution Date. During the term of the license granted in Section 3.01, the applicable Service

(b)    Subject to the terms of the Separation Agreement, each Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that the
Designated Work Product is and shall remain the exclusive property of the applicable Service Recipient. The Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the Designated Work Product is a
“work made for hire,” as that phrase is defined in the Copyright Act of 1976 (17 U.S.C. §101), for the Service Recipient. To the extent title to any Designated Work Product vests in the Service Provider by operation of Law, in its

other software with publicly available license terms, information sufficient to direct such other Party to a copy thereof) for any and all proprietary or third-party software first made available to such other
Party as of or after the Distribution Date, solely to the extent such provision would not violate the providing Party’s duty of confidentiality owed to any third party.

Transition Process. 
 (a)    For a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the Distribution
(“Customer Receipt Payment Period”), in the event any payments related to trade receivables intended for the SpinCo Group or the Nuance Group, as applicable (the “Intended Payee”), is incorrectly received by any
member of the other Group (the “Customer Receipt Payee”) such Customer Receipt Payee will, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event in more than ten (10) business days following receipt of such payment (the
“Misdirected Customer Payment”), send the applicable Intended Payee through wire transfer to an account designated by Intended Payee an amount equal to the value of such payment (each, a “Customer Receipt Payment”).

 (b)    For each Customer Receipt Payment, the Customer Receipt Payee must provide the applicable customer(s) payment
details to allow the Intended Payee to identify the customer(s) and the related transaction(s) associated with the Customer Receipt Payment, including each customer’s name, accounts receivable account number and payment amount. On or prior to
the Distribution Date, each Party shall provide the other Party with the relevant contact information of the persons to send this information. 

(c)    The Intended Payee will pursue corrections to the banking details internally. If a member of the SpinCo Group or
the Nuance Group receives a Misdirected Customer Payment within the eleven (11) months following the Distribution, the Customer Receipt Payee will send a letter to the respective customer(s) every month following such payment for so long as
such customer(s) continue to remit Misdirected Customer Payments (but in any event no longer than eleven (11) months following the Distribution), informing the customer of the need to use the correct bank account as designated by the Intended
Payee. If such customer continues to send Misdirected Customer Payments in the eleventh (11th) month following the Distribution, the Customer Receipt Payee and the Intended Payee will send a final joint letter one month prior to the expiration of
the Customer Receipt Payment Period. 
 (d)    Each Party agrees to not send the other Party any Customer Receipt
Payments from customers found on the U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control’s Specially-Designated Nationals List or from any countries with which U.S. persons are prohibited from conducting business. Each Party agrees to not accept
Customer Receipt Payments made in cash. Each Party agrees to immediately notify the other Party of any Customer Receipt Payments falling within the scope of this Section 4.03(d) and to cooperate with the other Party in
taking any action recommended by the other Party in connection with such Customer Receipt Payments. 
 (e)    All
Customer Receipt Payments made by any Customer Receipt Payee to any Intended Payee hereunder shall be made by a wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars to a bank account designated in writing by the Intended Payee entitled to
receive payment. Customer Receipt Payments may be bundled or sent on a per payment basis. 
 (f)    All bank fees
incurred for transmitting Customer Receipt Payments pursuant to this Section 4.03 will be paid by the Intended Payee and may be deducted from the 

  
 15 

 
applicable Customer Receipt Payments sent to the Intended Payee by the Customer Receipt Payee. 

Section 4.04    IT Agreements. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Services provided by a Service
Provider through third parties or using third-party intellectual property are subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable agreements between the Service Provider and such third parties (such agreements, the “IT
Agreements”), as set forth on Schedule G. The Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as possible any Consent of any Person that may be necessary for the performance of the Service
Provider’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.01(h) (it being understood that each Service Recipient shall only be granted access to IT Agreements during the term of this Agreement, and upon expiration of
the applicable service term shall procure its own standalone license with the applicable third-party provider). 

Section 4.05    Certain Supplier Agreements. Following the Distribution and until one year after the
Distribution Date, Nuance shall, and shall cause the members of the Nuance Group to, cooperate in any reasonable and permissible arrangement to provide that SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group shall receive the interest in the benefits
and obligations under the Certain Supplier Agreements in accordance with the provisions of such Certain Supplier Agreement. Payments due to a third party for use of the Certain Supplier Agreements by the SpinCo Business shall either, at
Nuance’s sole option, be (i) paid by the member of the SpinCo Group receiving the benefit of such Certain Supplier Agreement or (ii) paid by a member of the Nuance Group and charged by Nuance to Cerence Subsidiary on a pass-through
basis. Any internal or third-party costs incurred by Nuance in connection with Nuance’s cooperation in accordance with this Section 4.05 shall be charged by Nuance to Cerence Subsidiary on a pass-through basis. Without
limiting Cerence Subsidiary’s obligations under Article VIII, Cerence Subsidiary shall indemnify and hold harmless the member of the Nuance Group party to such Certain Supplier Agreement for any Liability relating to, arising out of or
resulting from Cerence Subsidiary’s use of the Certain Supplier Agreements and Nuance’s cooperation in accordance with this Section 4.05. 

ARTICLE V 
 Compensation

 Section 5.01    Compensation for Services. In each case except as expressly provided in Schedule
A or Schedule B: 
 (a)    As compensation for each Service rendered pursuant to this Agreement, the Service
Recipient shall be required to pay to the Service Provider a fee for the Service equal to the Cost of Services specified for such Service in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable (each fee constituting a “Service
Charge”). 
 (b)    For Services with fees determined on an hourly basis (the “Hourly
Services”), the Cost of Services are exclusive of any out-of-pocket third-party fees, costs and expenses that may be incurred by the Service Provider or any Sub-Contractor in connection with performing the Services. All of the costs and expenses described in this Section 5.01(b) (“Hourly 

  
 16 

 
Services Expenses”) shall be charged by the Service Provider to the Service Recipient on a pass-through basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the Hourly Services Expenses shall be
consistent with the Service Provider’s general approach with respect to such types of costs and expenses; provided that with respect to any Service, the Service Recipient’s prior written approval shall be required to the extent that
Hourly Services Expenses exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Service Charge paid and payable to the Service Provider for such Service in any calendar quarter. 

(c)    During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Cost of Service for a Service may increase during a Service
Extension, in accordance with Section 6.02. 
 (d)    The amount of any actual and documented
sales tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax or similar tax that is required to be assessed and remitted by the Service Provider in connection with the Services provided hereunder (“Taxes”) will be promptly paid to the Service
Provider by the Service Recipient in accordance with Section 5.02. Such payment shall be in addition to the Cost of Services set forth in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable (unless such Tax is expressly
already accounted for in the applicable Cost of Services). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the case of value-added Taxes, the Service Recipient shall not be obligated to pay such Taxes, unless the Service Provider has issued to the
Service Recipient a valid value-added tax invoice in respect thereof, and (ii) in the case of all Taxes, the Service Recipient shall not be obligated to pay such Taxes if and to the extent that the Service Recipient has provided any valid
exemption certificates or other applicable documentation that would eliminate or reduce the obligation to collect or pay such Taxes. 

(e)    Either Party shall have the right to deduct or withhold from any payments otherwise payable under this Agreement
such amounts as are required by applicable Law to be deducted or withheld with respect thereto and, to the extent such amounts are duly and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated
as paid to the other Party for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that each Party shall notify the other Party in writing of any anticipated withholding at least fifteen (15) business days prior to making any such
deduction or withholding and will cooperate with the other Party in obtaining any available exemption from or reduction of such deduction or withholding. The Party making such deduction or withholding shall promptly provide to the other Party tax
receipts or other documents evidencing the payment of any such deducted or withheld amount to the applicable Governmental Authority. 

Section 5.02    Payment Terms. 

(a)    The Service Provider shall bill the Service Recipient monthly in U.S. Dollars, within thirty (30) business
days after the end of each month, or at such other interval specified with respect to a particular Service in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, an amount equal to the aggregate Cost of Services due for all Services provided in
such month or other specified interval, as applicable, plus any Taxes. Invoices shall set forth a description of the Services provided and reasonable documentation to support the charges thereon, which invoice and documentation shall be in the same
level of detail and in accordance with the procedures for invoicing as provided to the Service Provider’s other businesses. Invoices shall be directed to the Service Coordinator appointed by Nuance or Cerence Subsidiary, as applicable, or to
such other Person designated in writing from time to time by such Service 

  
 17 

 
Coordinator. The Service Recipient shall pay such amount in full within thirty (30) days after receipt of each invoice by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
designated by the Service Provider for this purpose. If the thirtieth (30th) day falls on a weekend or a holiday, the Service Recipient shall pay such amount on or before the following business day. Each invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail
the calculation of the charges and amounts and applicable Taxes for each Service during the month or other specified interval to which such invoice relates. In addition to any other remedies for non-payment,
if any payment is not received by the Service Provider on or before the date such amount is due, then a late payment interest charge, calculated at the annual rate equal to the “Prime Rate” as reported on the thirtieth (30th) day after the
date of the invoice in The Wall Street Journal (or, if such day is not a business day, the first business day immediately after such day), calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed between the end of
the thirty (30)-day payment period and the actual payment date, shall immediately begin to accrue and any such late payment interest charges shall become immediately due and payable in addition to the amount
otherwise owed under this Agreement. The Service Recipient may elect by written notice to Service Provider to have invoices directed to and paid by any of Service Recipient’s subsidiaries and, in such event, Service Recipient will make
appropriate arrangements for the internal allocation of such invoiced costs within its Group. The Parties shall cooperate to achieve an invoicing structure that minimizes taxes for both Parties, including by implementing a local-to-local invoicing structure where applicable. 

(b)    The Service Recipient shall notify the Service Provider promptly, and in no event later than thirty (30) days
following receipt of the Service Provider’s invoice, of any disputed amounts. If the Service Recipient does not notify the Service Provider of any disputed amounts within such thirty (30)-day period, then
Service Recipient will be deemed to have accepted the Service Provider’s invoice. Any objection to the amount of any invoice shall be deemed to be a Dispute hereunder subject to the provisions applicable to Disputes set forth in Article
IX. The Service Recipient shall pay any undisputed amount, and all Taxes (whether or not disputed), in accordance with this Section 5.02. The Service Provider shall, upon the written request of a Service Recipient,
furnish such reasonable documentation to substantiate the amounts billed, including listings of the dates, times and amounts of the Services in question where applicable and practicable. The Service Recipient may withhold any payments subject to a
Dispute other than Taxes; provided that any disputed payments, to the extent ultimately determined to be payable to the Service Provider, shall bear interest as set forth in Section 5.02(a). 

(c)    Subject to Section 5.02(b), no Service Recipient shall withhold any payments to its
Service Provider under this Agreement in order to offset payments due to such Service Recipient pursuant to this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, unless such withholding is mutually agreed by the Parties or
is provided for in the final ruling of a court having jurisdiction pursuant to Section 10.07. Any required adjustment to payments due hereunder will be made as a subsequent invoice. 

Section 5.03    DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. WITHOUT LIMITATION TO THE COVENANTS RELATING TO THE PROVISION OF
SERVICES SET FORTH IN Section 2.01(f), THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE FURNISHED WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS 

  
 18 

 
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO MEMBER OF THE NUANCE GROUP OR OF THE
SPINCO GROUP, AS SERVICE PROVIDER, MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT ANY SERVICE COMPLIES WITH ANY LAW, DOMESTIC OR FOREIGN. 

Section 5.04    Books and Records. Nuance and Cerence Subsidiary shall each, and shall each cause the members
of their Group to, maintain complete and accurate books of account as necessary to support calculations of the Cost of Services for Services rendered by it or the other members of its Group as Service Providers and shall make such books available to
the other, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours; provided, however, that to the extent Nuance’s or Cerence Subsidiary’s books, or the books of the members of their Group, contain Information relating to any
other aspect of the Nuance Business or the SpinCo Business, as applicable, Nuance and Cerence Subsidiary shall negotiate a procedure to provide the other Party with necessary access while preserving the confidentiality of such other records. 

ARTICLE VI 
 Term

 Section 6.01    Commencement. This Agreement is effective as of the date hereof and shall remain in
effect with respect to a particular Service until the occurrence of the Applicable Termination Date applicable to such Service (or, subject to the terms of Section 6.02, the expiration of any Service Extension applicable to
such Service), unless earlier terminated (i) in its entirety or with respect to a particular Service, in each case in accordance with Section 6.03 or Section 6.04, or (ii) by mutual
consent of the Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Separation Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall be automatically terminated and void ab initio with no further
action by the Parties and shall be of no force and effect. 
 Section 6.02    Service Extension. Except as
expressly provided in Schedule A or Schedule B, if the Service Recipient reasonably determines that it will require a Service to continue beyond the Applicable Termination Date or the end of a subsequent extension period, the Service
Recipient may request the Service Provider to extend the term of such Service for the desired renewal period(s) (each, a “Service Extension”) by written notice to the Service Provider no less than forty-five (45) days prior to
end of the then-current Service term; provided that a Service Recipient may only request to extend a Service that is included on Schedule D if it requests to extend all other Services that are designated on Schedule D as a
Related Service with respect to such Service. The Service Provider shall respond to any such request for a Service Extension within fifteen (15) days of receipt and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such Service Extension
request; provided, however, that (i) the Service Extensions with respect to each Service shall not extend the term of such Service to a date beyond the Applicable End Date applicable to such Service, (ii) the Service Provider
will not be in breach of its obligations under this Section 6.02 if it is unable to comply with a Service Extension request through the use of commercially reasonable efforts, including where a Consent that is required in
order for the Service Provider to continue to provide the applicable Service during the requested Service Extension cannot be obtained by the Service Provider through the use of commercially 

  
 19 

 
reasonable efforts, (iii) the Service Provider shall not be required to contribute capital, pay or grant any consideration or concession in any form (including by providing any letter of
credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make any Consent that is required in order for the Service Provider to continue to provide the applicable Service during the requested Service Extension (other
than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be reimbursed by the Service Recipient, as promptly as
reasonably practicable) and (iv) each Service Extension is permissible under applicable Law and would not prevent, or be reasonably likely to prevent, or be inconsistent with the qualification of the Distribution as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes. With respect to Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, the Cost of Services specified for such Service in Schedule A
or Schedule B, as applicable, shall be amended to include (i) for the period from the Applicable Termination Date until the date that is one half of the Applicable Original Duration following the Applicable Termination Date, an
incremental surcharge of 10% and (ii) for the period from the date that is one half of the Applicable Original Duration following the Applicable Termination Date to the Applicable End Date, an incremental surcharge of 20%. The Parties shall
amend the terms of Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, to reflect the new Service term and Cost of Services within five (5) days following the Service Provider’s agreement to a Service Extension, subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section 6.02. Each such amended Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such
agreement. 
 Section 6.03    Termination. 

(a)    This Agreement may be terminated: 

(i)    by either Nuance or Cerence Subsidiary at any time upon written notice to the other Party (which notice shall
specify the basis for such claim for breach of this Agreement), if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement (and the period for resolution of the Dispute relating to such breach set forth in Section 9.01 has
expired), effective upon not less than thirty (30)-days’ written notice of termination to the breaching Party, if the breaching Party does not cure such default within thirty (30) days after
receiving written notice thereof from the non-breaching Party; or 

(ii)    except as otherwise provided by Law, by either Nuance or Cerence Subsidiary at any time upon written notice to
the other Party, if (i) the other Party is adjudicated as bankrupt, (ii) any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is commenced by the other Party under any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization act, (iii) any action
is taken by others against the other Party under any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization act and such Party fails to have such proceeding stayed or vacated within ninety (90) days or (iv) if the other Party makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or a receiver is appointed for the other Party which is not discharged within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the receiver.

 Section 6.04    Partial Termination. 

(a)    If a Service Provider or Service Recipient materially breaches any of its respective obligations under this
Agreement with respect to a Service (and the period for resolution of the Dispute relating to such breach set forth in Section 9.01 has expired), the non-breaching Service Recipient
or Service Provider, as applicable, may terminate this Agreement with respect to the Service to which such obligations apply, effective upon not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice of termination to the breaching Party, if the
breaching Party does not cure such default within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice thereof from the non-breaching Party. The termination of this Agreement with respect to any Service
pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall not affect the Parties’ rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to any other Service. 

(b)    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or Schedule A or Schedule B, upon not less than sixty
(60)-days’ prior written notice, a Service Recipient shall be entitled to terminate one or more Services being provided by any Service Provider for any reason or no reason at all; provided that a
Service Recipient may only terminate a Service that is included on Schedule D pursuant to this Section 6.04(b) if it simultaneously terminates all other Services that are designated on Schedule D as a Related
Service with respect to such Service. 
 (c)    In the event that a Service Provider reduces or suspends the provision
of any Service due to a Force Majeure Event and such reduction or suspension continues for fifteen (15) days, the Service Recipient may immediately terminate such Service, upon written notice and without any obligations therefor, including any
Service Charges in respect thereof. 
 Section 6.05    Effect of Termination. 

(a)    Each Party agrees and acknowledges that the obligations of each Party to provide the Services, or to cause the
Services to be provided, hereunder shall immediately cease upon (i) the termination of any (or all) such Service(s) at the Applicable Termination Date applicable to each such Service (or, subject to the terms of
Section 6.02, the expiration of any Service Extension applicable to such Service), (ii) termination of (A) this Agreement or (B) any particular Service, in each case in accordance with
Section 6.04, or (iii) upon termination of the Agreement or any Service by mutual consent of the Parties. Upon cessation of the Service Provider’s obligation to provide any Service, the Service Recipient shall
stop using, directly or indirectly, such Service. 
 (b)    Upon the request of the Service Recipient after the
termination of a Service with respect to which the Service Provider holds books, records or files, including current and archived copies of computer files, (i) owned solely by the Service Recipient or its Affiliates and used by the Service
Provider in connection with the provision of a Service pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) created by the Service Provider and in the Service Provider’s possession as a function of and relating solely to the provision of Services pursuant
to this Agreement, such books, records and files shall either be returned to the Service Recipient or destroyed by the Service Provider, with certification of such destruction provided to the Service Recipient, other than, in each case, such books,
records and files electronically preserved or 

  
 21 

 
recorded within any computerized data storage device or component (including any hard-drive or database) pursuant to automatic or routine backup procedures generally accessible only by legal, IT
or compliance personnel, which such books, records and files will not be used by the Service Provider for any other purpose. The Service Recipient shall bear the Service Provider’s reasonable, necessary and actual
out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the return or destruction of such books, records or files. At its expense, the Service Provider may make one copy of
such books, records or files for its legal files, subject to such Party’s obligations under Section 10.05. 

(c)    In the event that any Service is terminated other than at the end of a month, and the Service Charge associated
with such Service is determined on a monthly basis, the Service Provider shall bill the Service Recipient for the entire month in which such Service is terminated. The Parties acknowledge that there may be interdependencies among the Services being
provided under this Agreement that may not be identified on Schedule A, Schedule B or Schedule D, as applicable, and agree that, if the Service Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this
Agreement is materially and adversely affected by the termination of another Service in accordance with Section 6.04, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Schedule A or Schedule B, as
applicable, relating to such affected continuing Service. 
 (d)    In the event of a termination under
Section 6.04, the Service Recipient shall pay to the Service Provider any breakage or termination fees, and other termination costs payable by the Service Provider, solely as a result of the early termination of such
Service, with respect to any resources or pursuant to any other third-party agreements that were used by the Service Provider to provide such Service (or an equitably allocated portion thereof, in the case of any such equipment, resources or
agreements that also were used for purposes other than providing Services) (“Termination Charges”). The Service Provider will provide to the Service Recipient an invoice for the Termination Charges, within thirty (30) days
following the date of any termination of a Service under Section 6.04 and will provide reasonable documentary evidence to substantiate such Termination Charges. 

(e)    In the event of any termination of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to any Service, each Party,
Service Provider and Service Recipient shall remain liable for all of their respective obligations that accrued hereunder prior to the date of such termination, including all obligations of each Service Recipient to pay any Service Charges due to
any Service Provider hereunder. 
 (f)    The following matters shall survive the termination of this Agreement,
including the rights and obligations of each Party thereunder, in addition to any claim for breach arising prior to termination: Article I, Section 4.02(b), Article V, Article VII (including liability
in respect of any indemnifiable Liabilities under this Agreement arising or occurring on or prior to the date of termination), this Section 6.05, Article IX, Article X and all confidentiality obligations under
this Agreement.

(a)    Cerence Subsidiary, in its capacity as a Service Recipient and on behalf of each member of its Group in its
capacity as a Service Recipient, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Nuance and the other Nuance Indemnitees from and against any and all Liabilities incurred by such Nuance Indemnitee to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting
from any Services provided by any member of the Nuance Group hereunder, except to the extent such Liabilities arise out of a Nuance Group member’s (i) breach of this Agreement, (ii) violation of Laws in providing the Services or
(iii) gross negligence or willful misconduct in providing the Services. 
 (b)    Cerence Subsidiary, in its
capacity as a Service Provider and on behalf of each member of its Group in its capacity as a Service Provider, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Nuance and the other Nuance Indemnitees from and against any and all Liabilities incurred by
such Nuance Indemnitee to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Services provided by any member of the Nuance Group hereunder, to the extent such Liabilities result from a SpinCo Group member’s (i) breach of this
Agreement, (ii) violation of Laws in providing the Services or (iii) gross negligence or willful misconduct in providing the Services. 

Section 7.02    Indemnification by Nuance. 

(a)    Nuance, in its capacity as a Service Recipient and on behalf of each member of its Group in its capacity as a
Service Recipient, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Cerence Subsidiary and the other SpinCo Indemnitees from and against any and all Liabilities incurred by such SpinCo Indemnitee to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from
any Services provided by any member of the SpinCo Group hereunder, except to the extent such Liabilities arise out of a SpinCo Group member’s (i) breach of this Agreement, (ii) violation of Laws in providing the Services or
(iii) gross negligence or willful misconduct in providing the Services. 
 (b)    Nuance, in its capacity as a
Service Provider and on behalf of each member of its Group in its capacity as a Service Provider, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Cerence Subsidiary and the other SpinCo Indemnitees from and against any and all Liabilities incurred by such

Agreement, (ii) violation of Laws in providing the Services or (iii) gross negligence or willful misconduct in providing the Services. 

Section 7.03    Indemnification Procedures. The provisions of Section 6.05 of the Separation Agreement
shall govern claims for indemnification under this Agreement, provided that, for purposes of this Section 7.03, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of

  
 23 

 
Section 6.05 of the Separation Agreement and this Article VII, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. 

Section 7.04    Exclusion of Other Remedies. Without limiting the rights under
Section 10.09, the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Nuance Group and the SpinCo Group, as applicable, for
any Liability, whether arising from statute, principle of common or civil law, principles of strict liability, tort, contract or otherwise under this Agreement. 

Section 7.05    Other Indemnification Obligations Unaffected. For avoidance of doubt, this Article VII
applies solely to the specific matters and activities covered by this Agreement (and not to matters specifically covered by the Separation Agreement or the other Ancillary Agreements). 

Section 7.06    Limitation on Liability. 

(a)    No Service Provider, in its capacity as such, nor any member of its Group acting in the capacity of a Service
Provider, nor any Indemnitee thereof, shall be liable (whether such liability is direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the other Party (or any of such other Party’s Indemnitees) for any Liabilities relating to, arising out of
or resulting from the Services or this Agreement, except to the extent that such Liabilities arise out of such Service Provider’s (or a member of its Group’s) (i) breach of this Agreement, (ii) violation of Laws in providing the
Services or (iii) gross negligence or willful misconduct in providing the Services; provided that nothing in this Section 7.06 shall be deemed to limit a Service Recipient’s rights under
Section 7.06(d) regarding Insurance Proceeds in respect of Third-Party Claims. 
 (b)    IN
NO EVENT SHALL ANY SERVICE PROVIDER, IN ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH, NOR ANY MEMBER OF ITS GROUP ACTING IN THE CAPACITY OF A SERVICE PROVIDER, NOR ANY INDEMNITEE THEREOF, BE LIABLE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY)
OR OTHERWISE TO THE SERVICE RECIPIENT (OR ANY OF ITS INDEMNITEES) FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS) AS A RESULT OF ANY BREACH, PERFORMANCE OR
NON-PERFORMANCE BY SUCH SERVICE PROVIDER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT AS MAY BE PAYABLE TO A CLAIMANT IN A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM. 

(c)    EACH GROUP’S TOTAL LIABILITY, IN ITS CAPACITY AS A SERVICE PROVIDER, TO THE OTHER GROUP RELATING TO, ARISING
OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID TO IT FOR SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, IN THE CASE OF ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, EACH GROUP’S TOTAL LIABILITY IN ITS CAPACITY AS A SERVICE PROVIDER TO THE OTHER GROUP SHALL BE INCREASED BY AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT, IF ANY,

  
 24 

 
OF ANY INSURANCE PROCEEDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY SUCH SERVICE PROVIDER IN ACCORDANCE WITH Section 7.06(d). 

(d)    If a Service Provider, in its capacity as such, or any member of its Group acting in the capacity of a Service
Provider, or any Indemnitee thereof, shall be liable to the other Party for any Liability arising out of a Third-Party Claim, such Service Provider, at the request of the Indemnitee, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue and recover
any available Insurance Proceeds under applicable insurance policies. Promptly upon the actual receipt of any such Insurance Proceeds, such Service Provider shall pay such Insurance Proceeds to the applicable Indemnitee to the extent of the
Liability arising out of the applicable Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitee shall, upon the request of such Service Provider and to the extent permitted under such Service Provider’s applicable insurance
policies, promptly pay directly to such Service Provider or to such Service Provider’s insurer any reasonable costs or expenses incurred in the collection of such Indemnitee’s portion of such Insurance Proceeds (including such
Indemnitee’s portion of applicable retentions or deductibles); provided, however, that in no event shall an Indemnitee’s portion of such collection costs and expenses, applicable retentions and deductibles exceed the amount
of Insurance Proceeds actually received by such Indemnitee. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

Other Covenants 

Section 8.01    
Attorney-in-Fact. On a case-by-case basis, the Service Recipient shall execute
documents necessary to appoint the Service Provider as its attorney-in-fact for the sole purpose of executing any and all documents and instruments reasonably required
to be executed in connection with the performance by the Service Provider of any Service under this Agreement. 

Section 8.02    Further Assurances. Each Party hereto shall take, or cause to be taken, any and all
reasonable actions, including the execution, acknowledgment, filing and delivery of any and all documents and instruments that any other Party hereto may reasonably request in order to effect the intent and purpose of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby. 
 ARTICLE IX 

Dispute Resolution 

Section 9.01    General. Except as expressly provided in this Article IX, the Parties shall resolve all
disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) in accordance with the following procedures set forth in this Article IX (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Dispute relating to payments
with respect to the Services). 
 Section 9.02    Resolution Committee. All Disputes will be first
considered in person, by teleconference or by video conference by the Service Coordinators within five (5) business days after receipt of notice from either Party specifying the nature of the Dispute (a

  
 25 

 
“Dispute Notice”). The Service Coordinators shall enter into negotiations aimed at resolving any such Dispute. If the Service Coordinators are unable to reach a resolution with
respect to the Dispute within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of the Dispute, the Dispute shall be referred to a Resolution Committee comprised of specified transition leaders (the “Resolution Committee”) from
Nuance and Cerence Subsidiary. On or prior to the Distribution Date, each Party shall provide the other Party with the name and relevant contact information for its respective initial Resolution Committee member, and either Party may replace its
Resolution Committee members at any time with other persons of similar seniority by providing written notice in accordance with Section 10.12. The Resolution Committee will meet (by telephone or in person) during the next
ten (10) business days and attempt to resolve the Dispute. In the event that the Resolution Committee is unable to reach a resolution with respect to the Dispute within ten (10) business days of the referral of the matter to the Resolution
Committee, then the Dispute shall be referred to a senior executive of each Party in accordance with Section 9.03 and the Parties shall retain all rights with respect to remedies hereunder. 

Section 9.03    Senior Executive Referral. If no resolution is reached with respect to any Dispute in
accordance with Section 9.02, then a senior executive of each Party shall, in good faith, attempt to resolve any such Dispute within the following thirty (30) days of the referral of the matter to the senior
executives. If no resolution is reached with respect to any such Dispute in accordance with the procedures contained in Section 9.02 and this Section 9.03, then the Parties may seek to resolve such
matter in accordance with Section 10.07, Section 10.08 and Section 10.09. 

Section 9.04    Court-Ordered Interim Relief. In accordance
with this Section 9.04 and Section 10.08, at any time after giving notice of a Dispute, each Party shall be entitled to interim measures of protection duly granted by a court of competent
jurisdiction: (1) to preserve the status quo pending resolution of the dispute; (2) to prevent the destruction or loss of documents and other information or things relating to the dispute; or (3) to prevent the transfer, disposition
or hiding of assets. Any such interim measure (or a request therefor to a court of competent jurisdiction) shall not be deemed incompatible with the provisions of Section 10.07 and Section 10.08.
Until such Dispute is resolved in accordance with this Article IX or final judgment is rendered in accordance with Section 10.07 and Section 10.08, each Party agrees that such Party shall
continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement and that such obligations shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination. 

ARTICLE X 

Miscellaneous 

Section 10.01    Title to Equipment; Title to Data. 

(a)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of Cerence Subsidiary and Nuance acknowledges that all
procedures, methods, systems, strategies, tools, equipment, facilities and other resources used by any Service Provider in connection with the provision of Services shall remain the property of such Service Provider and shall at all times be under
the sole direction and control of such Service Provider. 

  
 26 

 (b)    Each of Cerence Subsidiary and Nuance acknowledges that it will
acquire no right, title or interest (including any license rights or rights of use) in any firmware or software, or the licenses therefor that are owned by the other Party or its Affiliates, Subsidiaries or divisions, by reason of the provision of
the Services hereunder, except as expressly provided in Section 4.02. 

Section 10.02    Force Majeure. In case performance of any terms or provisions hereof shall be delayed or
prevented, in whole or in part, because of or related to compliance with any Law or requirement of any national securities exchange, or because of riot, war, public disturbance, strike, labor dispute, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake,
pandemic, shortage of necessary equipment, materials or labor, or restrictions thereon or limitations upon the use thereof, delays in transportation, act of God or act of terrorism, in each case, that is not within the control of the Party whose
performance is interfered with and which, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, such Party is unable to prevent, or for any other reason which is not within the control of such Party whose performance is interfered with and which, by the exercise
of reasonable diligence, such Party is unable to prevent (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), then, upon prompt written notice stating the date and extent of such interference and the cause thereof by such Party to the other Party, such
Party shall be excused from its obligations hereunder during the period such Force Majeure Event or its effects continue, and no liability shall attach against either Party on account thereof; provided, however, that the Party whose
performance is interfered with promptly resumes the required performance upon the cessation of the Force Majeure Event or its effects. No Party shall be excused from performance if such Party fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy
the situation and remove the cause and effects of the Force Majeure Event. 
 Section 10.03    Separation
Agreement. The Parties agree that, in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Separation Agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. 

Section 10.04    Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed by the
Parties or any third party as creating a relationship of principal and agent, partnership or joint venture between the Parties, between Service Providers and Service Recipients or with any individual providing Services, it being understood and
agreed that no provision contained herein, and no act of any Party or members of their respective Groups, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the Parties or members of their respective Groups other than the relationship set forth
herein. Each Party and each Service Provider shall act under this Agreement solely as an independent contractor and not as an agent or employee of any other Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates. 

Section 10.05    Confidentiality. Each Party hereby acknowledges that confidential Information of such Party
or members of its Group may be exposed to employees and agents of the other Party or its Group who have a need to know such confidential Information as a result of, or in connection with, the activities contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party
agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that such Party’s obligation (and the obligation of members of its Group) to use and keep confidential such Information of the other Party or its Group shall be governed by Section 7.09 of
the Separation Agreement. 

  
 27 

 Section 10.06    Counterparts; Entire Agreement. 

(a)    This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which counterparts shall be considered one and
the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or PDF signature and scanned and exchanged by electronic mail,
and such facsimile or PDF signature or scanned and exchanged copies shall constitute an original for all purposes. 

(b)    This Agreement, the Separation Agreement, the other Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and
thereto contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject
matter, and there are no agreements or understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein. 

Section 10.07    Governing Law; Jurisdiction. Any disputes relating to, arising out of or resulting from this
Agreement, including to its execution, performance, or enforcement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of
conflicts of Laws thereof. Each Party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction, forum and venue of the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, any Delaware State court or the federal court
sitting in the State of Delaware) over any and all claims, disputes, controversies or disagreements between the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns under or related to this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby, including their execution, performance or enforcement, whether in contract, tort or otherwise. Each of the Parties hereby agrees that it shall not assert and shall hereby waive any claim or right or defense that it is not
subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the venue is improper, that the forum is inconvenient or any similar objection, claim or argument. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any legal proceeding resolved in accordance with
Article IX this Section 10.07, Section 10.08 and Section 10.09 shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any
other manner provided by applicable Law. 
 Section 10.08    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES
ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION RELATING TO, ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THEIR EXECUTION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT, WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY 

  
 28 

 
EACH OF THE PARTIES AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. 

Section 10.09    Specific Performance. Subject to Article IX, in the event of any actual or threatened
default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the affected Party shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any
and all other rights and remedies at Law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The other Party shall not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that money damages are an adequate remedy. The Parties agree that
the remedies at Law for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate is waived. Any
requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived. 

Section 10.10    Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under
this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that each Party may assign any and all of its rights under this Agreement to one or
more of its wholly owned Subsidiaries. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their
respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement without prior written consent in connection with (a) a merger transaction in which such Party is not the surviving entity and the surviving
entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets, or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets; provided, however, that the assignee or successor-in-interest expressly assumes in writing all of the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement, and the assigning Party provides written notice and evidence of such assignment,
assumption or succession to the non-assigning Party. No assignment permitted by this Section 10.10 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its
obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 10.10 shall affect or impair a Service Provider’s ability to delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement to one or more Affiliates or Sub-Contractors pursuant to Section 2.01(e). 

Section 10.11    Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnification rights under this Agreement of any
Nuance Indemnitee or SpinCo Indemnitee in his, her or its respective capacities as such, (a) the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and are not intended to confer upon any Person except the Parties
hereto any rights or remedies hereunder and (b) there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any third person with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in
excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement. 
 Section 10.12    Notices. All notices or
other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be provided in the manner set forth in the Separation Agreement. 

Section 10.13    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or
circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be 

  
 29 

 
invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held
invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner
materially adverse to either Party. Upon any such determination, any such provision, to the extent determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, shall be deemed replaced by a provision that such court determines is valid and enforceable and that
comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable provision. 

Section 10.14    Headings. The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 

Section 10.15    Waivers of Default. No failure or delay of any Party (or the applicable member of its Group)
in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any
course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Waiver by any Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party
of any subsequent or other default. 
 Section 10.16    Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by any Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of each Party. 

Section 10.17    Interpretation. The rules of interpretation set forth in Section 12.17 of the Separation
Agreement are incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES 

Section 2.01.    SpinCo Employees. Except as provided in Section 2.03, all SpinCo
Employees shall continue to be employees of the SpinCo Group immediately following the Local Transfer Date. The Parties agree that none of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, including this
Agreement, shall cause any SpinCo Employee, SpinCo LTD Employee, or Former SpinCo Employee to be deemed to have incurred a termination of employment or to be eligible to receive severance benefits solely as a result of the Distribution. 

Section 2.02.    Prepositioning of Transferring Employees. Effective on the Local Transfer Date or Delayed
Transfer Date, and except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, the 

  
 5 

 
applicable member of the SpinCo Group and the Nuance Group shall have taken such actions as are necessary to ensure (i) that each SpinCo Employee (other than any Former SpinCo Employee) is
employed by a member of the SpinCo Group and (ii) that each Nuance Employee (other than any Former Nuance Employee) is employed by a member of the Nuance Group. 

Section 2.03.    Delayed Transfer Employees. To the extent that applicable Law or any arrangement with a
Governmental Authority prevents the Parties from causing (a) any employee who is intended to be a SpinCo Employee to be employed by a member of the SpinCo Group as of immediately following the Local Transfer Date as contemplated by
Section 2.01 or (b) any employee who is intended to be a Nuance Employee to be employed by a member of the Nuance Group as of immediately following the Local Transfer Date, or for any employees designated and agreed to
by the Parties (each such employee, a “Delayed Transfer Employee”), the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that (i) such Delayed Transfer Employee becomes employed by the Destination Employer at the
earliest time permitted by applicable Law or such arrangement with a Governmental Authority (the “Delayed Transfer Date”) and (ii) the Destination Employer receives the benefit of such Delayed Transfer Employee’s services
from and after the Local Transfer Date, including under the TSA or by entering into an employee leasing or similar arrangement. The term “Delayed Transfer Employee” shall also include (i) each employee who, following the Local
Transfer Date, provides services to the SpinCo Group under the TSA and whose employment is intended by Nuance to transfer to the SpinCo Group following the completion of the applicable TSA service and (ii) each employee who, following the Local
Transfer Date, provides services to the Nuance Group under the TSA and whose employment is intended by SpinCo to transfer to the Nuance Group following the completion of the applicable TSA service, and with respect to such Delayed Transfer
Employees, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Delayed Transfer Employees become employed by the Destination Employer as soon as practicable following the completion of the applicable TSA service. From and after
the commencement of a Delayed Transfer Employee’s employment with the Destination Employer, such Delayed Transfer Employee shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement, including Section 4.02, as if such Delayed
Transfer Employee commenced employment with the Destination Employer as of the Local Transfer Date as contemplated by Section 2.01. 

Section 2.04.    Collectively Bargained Employees. All provisions contained in this Agreement providing for
the treatment of compensation and benefits in connection with the Distribution shall apply equally to each employee who is covered by a collective bargaining, works council, or other labor union agreement, contract, or labor arrangement
(collectively, “Collective Bargaining Agreements”), except to the extent that any such agreement specifically provides for the compensation or benefits contemplated by such provision and, in each such case, such agreement shall
apply rather than the terms of this Agreement. 
 Section 2.05.    Collective Bargaining Agreements. As of
the Local Transfer Date, SpinCo shall, and shall cause the members of the SpinCo Group, as appropriate, to, adopt and assume each Collective Bargaining Agreement covering any of the SpinCo Employees in such jurisdiction immediately prior to the
Local Transfer Date, subject to any agreed-upon changes required by the transition of such Collective Bargaining Agreement to SpinCo or by applicable Law, and to recognize the works councils, labor unions, and other employee representatives that are
parties to such Collective Bargaining Agreements; provided, that any compensation or benefits that were, prior to the Local Transfer Date, provided to SpinCo Employees in such jurisdiction under the Collective Bargaining Agreements through
the Nuance Benefit Plans shall, to the extent that such 

  
 6 

 
compensation and benefits are still required to be provided under the Collective Bargaining Agreements on and after the Local Transfer Date, be provided as mutually agreed with such works
councils, labor unions, and other employee representatives through the SpinCo Benefit Plans as set forth in this Agreement. 

Section 2.06.    Liabilities and Assets Generally. From and after the Local Transfer Date or such other
date agreed by Nuance and SpinCo, except as expressly provided in this Agreement (or a Local Agreement) or as required under applicable Law, in each applicable jurisdiction (a) SpinCo and the SpinCo Group shall assume or retain, as applicable,
and SpinCo hereby agrees to pay, perform, fulfill, and discharge, in due course in full, (i) all Liabilities with respect to the employment or termination of employment of all SpinCo Employees, Former SpinCo Employees, and their dependents and
beneficiaries, and other service providers, to the extent arising, in whole or in part, in connection with or as a result of the performance of services to any member of the SpinCo Group and (ii) all other Liabilities expressly assigned to
SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group under this Agreement, and (b) Nuance and the Nuance Group shall assume or retain, as applicable, and Nuance hereby agrees to pay, perform, fulfill, and discharge, in due course in full, (i) all
Liabilities with respect to the employment or termination of employment of all Nuance Employees, Former Nuance Employees, and their dependents and beneficiaries, and other service providers, to the extent arising, in whole or in part, in connection
with or as a result of the performance of services to any member of the Nuance Group and (ii) all other Liabilities expressly assigned to Nuance or any member of the Nuance Group under this Agreement. All assets held in trust to fund the Nuance
Benefit Plans and all insurance policies funding the Nuance Benefit Plans shall be Nuance Assets, except to the extent explicitly provided otherwise in this Agreement or a Local Agreement. 

Section 2.07.    Benefit Plans. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement or as may otherwise
be provided in accordance with the TSA, as of the Local Transfer Date or such other date agreed by Nuance and SpinCo, each SpinCo Employee (and each of his or her respective dependents and beneficiaries) in the applicable jurisdiction shall cease
active participation in, and each applicable member of the SpinCo Group shall cease to be a participating employer in, all Nuance Benefit Plans, and as of such time, SpinCo shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, have in effect such corresponding
SpinCo Benefit Plans as are necessary to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Effective upon the Local Transfer Date or such other date agreed by Nuance and SpinCo, except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement or a
Local Agreement, (a) Nuance shall, or shall cause one or more members of the Nuance Group to, retain, pay, perform, fulfill, and discharge all Liabilities arising out of or relating to all Nuance Benefit Plans, and (b) SpinCo shall, or
shall cause one of the members of the SpinCo Group to, retain, pay, perform, fulfill, and discharge all Liabilities arising out of or relating to all SpinCo Benefit Plans. 

Section 2.08.    Payroll Services. Except as may otherwise be provided in accordance with a Local Agreement or
the TSA, on and after the Local Transfer Date or such other date agreed by Nuance and SpinCo, the applicable members of the SpinCo Group shall be solely responsible for providing payroll services to the SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees
in the applicable jurisdiction. 
 Section 2.09.    No Change in Control. The Parties hereto agree that none
of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, 

  
 7 

 
including this Agreement, constitutes a “change in control,” “change of control,” or transaction having a similar name, as applicable, within the meaning of any Nuance Benefit
Plan or SpinCo Benefit Plan. 
 Section 2.10.    Inadvertent Transfers. If Nuance determines
following the Distribution that an individual whom Nuance intended to be a Nuance Employee or a SpinCo Employee has inadvertently become employed by the SpinCo Group or the Nuance Group, respectively, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith and
take such actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to cause the employment of such individual to be promptly transferred to a member of the Nuance Group or the SpinCo Group, as applicable, as intended by Nuance, and such individual shall be
treated for all purposes of this Agreement, including Section 4.02, as if such individual commenced employment with the intended employer as of the Local Transfer Date of the jurisdiction in which the individual is
employed. 
 ARTICLE 3 

NON-EQUITY INCENTIVES 

Section 3.01.    SpinCo Employee Incentives. Unless otherwise provided for in an individual agreement with a
SpinCo Employee to which Nuance is a party, on and after the Local Transfer Date, SpinCo shall assume and be solely responsible for all Liabilities with respect to any annual bonus or other cash-based incentive or retention awards under any Benefit
Plan to any SpinCo Employee, SpinCo LTD Employee, or Former SpinCo Employee in the applicable jurisdiction, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such awards with respect to the Nuance fiscal year ending prior to the Distribution (the
“SpinCo Incentive Payments”). SpinCo shall be responsible for determining the amounts of all SpinCo Incentive Payments that have not been determined prior to the Local Transfer Date, including the extent to which established
performance criteria (as interpreted by SpinCo, in its sole discretion) have been met, and shall pay all SpinCo Incentive Payments no later than the times provided for under the applicable Benefit Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, any determinations
made prior to the Distribution regarding the amounts of any SpinCo Incentive Payments shall be subject to Nuance’s prior written approval. 

ARTICLE 4 
 SERVICE
CREDIT 
 Section 4.01.    Nuance Benefit Plans. Except as may otherwise be provided in accordance with
the TSA or as required by applicable Law or the terms of the applicable Nuance Benefit Plan, service of SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees in each applicable jurisdiction, on and after the Local Transfer Date, or such other date agreed by
Nuance and SpinCo, with any member of the SpinCo Group or any other employer, as applicable, other than any member of the Nuance Group, shall not be taken into account for any purpose under any Nuance Benefit Plan. 

Section 4.02.    SpinCo Benefit Plans. Unless prohibited by applicable Law, SpinCo shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, credit service accrued by each SpinCo Employee with, or otherwise recognized for purposes of any Benefit Plan by, any member of the Nuance Group or the SpinCo Group on or prior to the Distribution for purposes of
(a) eligibility, vesting, and benefit accrual under each SpinCo Benefit Plan under which service is relevant in determining eligibility, vesting, and benefit accrual, (b) determining the amount of severance payments and benefits (if any)
payable under each SpinCo Benefit Plan that provides severance payments or benefits, and 

  
 8 

 
(c) determining the number of vacation days to which each such employee shall be entitled following the applicable Welfare Plan Date, in the case of clauses (a), (b), and (c), (i) to
the same extent recognized by the relevant members of the Nuance Group or SpinCo Group or the corresponding Nuance Benefit Plan or SpinCo Benefit Plan immediately prior to the later of the Distribution Date and the date on which such employee ceases
participating in the applicable Nuance Benefit Plan in accordance with the TSA and (ii) except to the extent that such credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service.     

Section 4.03.    No Expansion of Participation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, as
otherwise determined or agreed to by the Parties, as required by applicable Law, or as explicitly set forth in a SpinCo Benefit Plan, each SpinCo Employee shall be entitled to participate in a given SpinCo Benefit Plan only to the extent that such
SpinCo Employee was entitled to participate in the corresponding Nuance Benefit Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Local Transfer Date, with it being the intent of the Parties that this Agreement does not result in any expansion of the
number of SpinCo Employees participating or the participation rights therein that they had prior to the applicable Local Transfer Date. 

ARTICLE 5 
 SEVERANCE

 Section 5.01.    Severance. The Nuance Group shall be solely responsible for all severance or other
separation payments and benefits (including any termination indemnity or retirement indemnity plan) relating to the termination or alleged termination of any SpinCo Employee’s or Former SpinCo Employee’s employment which occurs prior to
the Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, such Liabilities shall include any employer-paid portion of any Employment Taxes and shall be treated as Liabilities of Nuance and the Nuance Group. 

ARTICLE 6 
 CERTAIN
WELFARE BENEFIT PLAN MATTERS; 
 WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CLAIMS 

Section 6.01.    SpinCo Welfare Plans. Without limiting the generality of
Section 2.07, effective as of the Local Transfer Date or such other date as agreed to between Nuance and SpinCo, which need not be the same for each Welfare Plan (such applicable date, the “Welfare Plan
Date”), SpinCo shall establish Welfare Plans (collectively, the “SpinCo Welfare Plans”) to provide welfare benefits to the SpinCo Employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries) in each applicable jurisdiction and, as of
the applicable Welfare Plan Date, each SpinCo Employee (and his or her dependents and beneficiaries) shall cease active participation in the corresponding Nuance Welfare Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this ARTICLE 6, the
term “SpinCo Employee” shall be deemed to include each Former SpinCo Employee who was receiving welfare benefits in connection with his or her termination of employment from a member of the Nuance Group or the SpinCo Group as of the
applicable Welfare Plan Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Nuance determines that the aforementioned provision of welfare benefits by SpinCo to a Former SpinCo Employee is not feasible, such Former SpinCo Employee may continue
active participation in the corresponding Nuance Welfare Plan after the Welfare Plan Date, and SpinCo shall reimburse the Nuance Group for all Liabilities associated with such Former SpinCo Employee after the Welfare Plan Date.

 Section 6.02.    Allocation of Welfare Benefit Claims.
(a) The members of the Nuance Group shall retain all Liabilities in accordance with the applicable Nuance Welfare Plan for all reimbursement claims (such as medical and dental claims) and for all
non-reimbursement claims (such as life insurance claims), in each case, as incurred by SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees (and each of their respective dependents and beneficiaries) under such plans
prior to the applicable Welfare Plan Date, and (b) the members of the SpinCo Group shall retain all Liabilities in accordance with the SpinCo Welfare Plans for all reimbursement claims (such as medical and dental claims) and for all non-reimbursement claims (such as life insurance claims), in each case, as incurred by SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees (and each of their respective dependents and beneficiaries) on or after the
applicable Welfare Plan Date; provided, that SpinCo shall reimburse Nuance for Liabilities incurred under clause (a) between the Local Transfer Date and the applicable Welfare Plan Date. For purposes of this
Section 6.02, a benefit claim shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (i) for health, dental, vision, employee assistance program, and prescription drug benefits (including in respect of any hospital admission),
upon the provision of such services, materials, or supplies; and (ii) for life, accidental death and dismemberment, and business travel accident insurance benefits, upon the death, cessation of employment, or other event by Nuance giving rise
to such benefits. 
 Section 6.03.    Workers’ Compensation Claims. In the case of any
workers’ compensation claim of any SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee in respect of his or her employment with the Nuance Group or the SpinCo Group, such claim shall be covered (a) by the Nuance Group’s workers’
compensation coverage if the Workers’ Compensation Event occurred prior to the applicable Local Transfer Date, (b) by the SpinCo Group’s workers’ compensation coverage for the applicable jurisdiction if the Workers’
Compensation Event occurs on or after the applicable Local Transfer Date and the related claim is submitted after the date on which SpinCo has established workers’ compensation coverage (the “Workers’ Compensation
Claim Date”), and (c) under the Nuance Group’s workers’ compensation coverage if the Workers’ Compensation Event occurs on or after the applicable Local Transfer Date and the related claim is submitted prior to the
Workers’ Compensation Claim Date; provided, that SpinCo shall reimburse Nuance for Liabilities actually incurred by Nuance under clause (c) between the Local Transfer Date and the applicable Workers’ Compensation Claim Date. If
the Workers’ Compensation Event occurs over a period both preceding and following the Local Transfer Date, the claim shall be jointly covered under the Nuance Group’s workers’ compensation coverage and the SpinCo Group’s
workers’ compensation coverage and shall be equitably apportioned between them based upon the relative periods of time that the Workers’ Compensation Event transpired preceding and following the Local Transfer Date; provided, that
if a claim in respect of such Workers’ Compensation Event is submitted prior to the Workers’ Compensation Claim Date, then such claim shall be covered under the Nuance Group’s workers’ compensation coverage and SpinCo shall
appropriately reimburse Nuance, in accordance with clause (c) above. 
 Section 6.04.    COBRA. If
(a) a SpinCo Employee or Former SpinCo Employee (or his or her eligible dependents) was receiving, prior to the applicable Welfare Plan Date, or is eligible to receive, on or following the applicable Welfare Plan Date, continuation health
coverage pursuant to COBRA, SpinCo and the SpinCo Welfare Plans shall be responsible for all Liabilities to such employee (or his or her eligible dependents) in respect of COBRA. SpinCo shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the members of the
Nuance Group from and against any and all Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from COBRA provided by SpinCo, or the failure of SpinCo to meet its COBRA obligations, to SpinCo Employees, Former SpinCo Employees, and their respective
eligible dependents. 

  
 10 

 Section 6.05.    Flexible Spending Accounts. Effective as of
the applicable Welfare Plan Date, SpinCo shall have established a health care and dependent care reimbursement account plan (the “SpinCo Reimbursement Account Plan”) with features that are comparable to those contained in the
relevant health care and dependent care reimbursement account plan sponsored and maintained by Nuance (the “Nuance Reimbursement Account Plan”). With respect to applicable SpinCo Employees, effective as of the applicable Welfare
Plan Date, SpinCo shall assume responsibility for administering all reimbursement claims of SpinCo Employees with respect to the plan year in which the applicable Welfare Plan Date occurs, whether arising before, on, or after the applicable Welfare
Plan Date, under the SpinCo Reimbursement Account Plan and, for the avoidance of doubt, on and after the applicable Welfare Plan Date, no additional claims shall be reimbursed with respect to SpinCo Employees under the Nuance Reimbursement Account
Plan. Nuance shall, as soon as practicable following the applicable Welfare Plan Date, determine (i) the sum of all contributions to the Nuance Reimbursement Account Plan made with respect to such plan year by or on behalf of all SpinCo
Employees, as a whole, prior to the applicable Welfare Plan Date (the “Aggregate Pre-Distribution Date Contributions”) and (ii) the sum of all claims incurred in such plan year and paid
by the Nuance Reimbursement Account Plan with respect to such SpinCo Employees, as a whole, prior to the applicable Welfare Plan Date (the “Aggregate Pre-Distribution Date Disbursements”). If
the Aggregate Pre- Distribution Date Contributions exceed the Aggregate Pre-Distribution Date Disbursements, Nuance shall, as soon as practicable following Nuance’s
determination of the Aggregate Pre- Distribution Date Contributions and Aggregate Pre-Distribution Date Disbursements, transfer to SpinCo an amount in cash equal to such
difference. If the Aggregate Pre-Distribution Date Disbursements exceed the Aggregate Pre-Distribution Date Contributions, SpinCo shall, upon Nuance’s reasonable
request and the presentation of such substantiating documentation as SpinCo shall reasonably request, transfer to Nuance an amount in cash equal to such difference. 

Section 6.06.    Continuation of Elections. With respect to applicable SpinCo Employees, as of the applicable
Welfare Plan Date, SpinCo shall cause the SpinCo Welfare Plans to recognize and maintain all elections and designations (including, without limitation, all coverage and contribution elections and beneficiary designations) made by SpinCo Employees
under, or with respect to, the Nuance Welfare Plans and apply such elections and designations under the SpinCo Welfare Plans for the remainder of the period or periods for which such elections or designations are by their original terms applicable,
to the extent that such election or designation is available under the corresponding SpinCo Welfare Plan. As of the applicable Welfare Plan Date, SpinCo shall cause any SpinCo Welfare Plan that constitutes a cafeteria plan under Section 125 of
the Code to recognize and give effect to all non-elective employer contributions payable and paid toward coverage of a SpinCo Employee under the corresponding Nuance Welfare Plan that constitutes a cafeteria
plan under Section 125 of the Code for the applicable cafeteria plan year. 
 Section 6.07.    Insurance
Contracts. To the extent that any Nuance Welfare Plan is funded through the purchase of an insurance contract or is subject to any stop-loss contract, the Parties shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to replicate such
insurance contracts for SpinCo (except to the extent that changes are required under applicable state insurance Laws or filings by the respective insurers) and to maintain any pricing discounts or other preferential terms for both Nuance and SpinCo
for a reasonable term. Neither Party shall be liable for failure to 

  
 11 

 
obtain such insurance contracts, pricing discounts, or other preferential terms for the other Party. Each Party shall be responsible for any additional premiums, charges, or administrative fees
that such Party may incur pursuant to this Section 6.07. 

Section 6.08.    Third-Party Vendors. Except as provided below, to the extent that any Nuance Welfare Plan is
administered by a third-party vendor, the Parties shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to replicate any contract with such third-party vendor for SpinCo and to maintain any pricing discounts or other preferential terms for
both Nuance and SpinCo for a reasonable term. Neither Party shall be liable for failure to obtain such pricing discounts or other preferential terms for the other Party. Each Party shall be responsible for any additional premiums, charges, or
administrative fees that such Party may incur pursuant to this Section 6.08.

Section 9.03.    Employer 401(k) Plan Contributions. The Nuance Group shall remain responsible for making all
employer contributions under the Nuance 401(k) Plan with respect to any SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Employees relating to periods prior to the Applicable

SpinCo Employee participates (each, a “Non-U.S. DC Plan”) shall be governed by the applicable Local Agreement; provided, that if a Local Agreement does not address the treatment of an
applicable Non-U.S. DC Plan, then Nuance and SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Non-U.S. DC Plan to be treated in a manner that is consistent
with applicable Law and, to the extent practicable, the general principles of this ARTICLE 9.

Nuance Group, as the case may be, to be paid for any vacation, holiday, annual leave, or other leave days accrued or earned but not yet taken by such employee as of the applicable Welfare Plan Date, SpinCo shall assume and be solely responsible for

agreement for use thereunder (the “SpinCo Award Agreement”) as the sole stockholder of SpinCo. 

Section 11.02.    Treatment of Outstanding Nuance Options. Each Nuance Option shall be adjusted effective as

 13 

 
of shares of Nuance Common Stock subject to such Nuance Option immediately prior to the Distribution and (y) the Nuance Equity Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares subject to each
such Nuance Option following such adjustment rounded down to the nearest whole share and (ii) the per-share exercise price of each such Nuance Option shall be equal to the quotient of (x) the per-share exercise price of such Nuance Option immediately prior to the Distribution divided by (y) the Nuance Equity Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Such adjustment shall be determined
in a manner consistent with the requirements of Sections 409 and 424 of the Code and the regulations thereunder, to the extent applicable. Following the Distribution, each such Nuance Option, as adjusted in accordance with this
Section 11.02, shall remain outstanding and subject to its respective terms and provisions. 

Section 11.03.    Treatment of Outstanding Nuance Restricted Stock Units Held by SpinCo Employees. 

(a)    Each Nuance Restricted Stock Unit held by a SpinCo Employee as of immediately prior to Distribution that is
scheduled to vest in accordance with its terms on or before November 30, 2019, shall vest in full as of immediately prior to the Distribution, subject in all events to the occurrence of the Distribution. 

(b)    Each Nuance Restricted Stock Unit that is outstanding and held by a SpinCo Employee as of immediately prior to the
Distribution that is scheduled to vest in accordance with its terms after November 30, 2019, shall be forfeited in accordance with its terms as of the Distribution (as a result of the SpinCo Employee’s termination of employment with Nuance
and its Subsidiaries) or otherwise canceled. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Distribution Date, subject to the SpinCo Employee’s continued employment with a member of the SpinCo Group, each SpinCo Employee whose Nuance
Restricted Stock Units were forfeited or canceled in connection with the Distribution shall be granted restricted stock units to be settled in SpinCo Common Stock (“SpinCo Restricted Stock Units”) issued under the SpinCo Equity
Incentive Plan and shall be subject to terms and conditions of the SpinCo Equity Incentive Plan and a restricted stock unit award agreement substantially in the form of the SpinCo Award Agreement. The number of SpinCo Restricted Stock Units that
will be granted to each such SpinCo Employee shall be no fewer than the product of (x) the number of Nuance Restricted Stock Units held by such SpinCo Employee immediately prior to the Distribution that were forfeited or canceled in accordance
with this Section 11.03(b) and (y) the SpinCo Equity Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares (after aggregating all such SpinCo Restricted Stock Units) rounded down to the nearest whole share. 

Section 11.04.    Treatment of Outstanding Nuance Restricted Stock Units Held by Individuals Other Than SpinCo
Employees. Each Nuance Restricted Stock Unit not covered by Section 11.02 shall be adjusted as of the Distribution Date into a number of Nuance Restricted Stock Units equal to the product of (x) the number of
Nuance Restricted Stock Units subject to the award immediately prior to the Distribution and (y) the Nuance Equity Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares subject to each such Nuance Restricted Stock Unit following such adjustment rounded
down to the nearest whole share. Following the Distribution, each such Nuance Restricted Stock Unit, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 11.04, shall remain outstanding and subject to its respective terms and provisions.

 Section 11.05.    Treatment of Outstanding Nuance Performance
Stock Units Held by SpinCo Employees. 
 (a)    Each Nuance Performance Stock Unit held by a SpinCo Employee as of
immediately prior to the Distribution that is scheduled to vest based on relative total shareholder return metrics to be measured as of November 6, 2019 (each, a “Canceled Nuance Performance Stock Unit”), shall be
forfeited in accordance with its terms as of the Distribution (as a result of the SpinCo Employee’s termination of employment with Nuance and its Subsidiaries) or otherwise canceled, and in consideration of such forfeiture or cancellation, each
SpinCo Employee whose Nuance Restricted Stock Units were forfeited in connection with the Distribution shall be granted the right to receive from SpinCo a cash payment equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Nuance Common Stock that
would have been earned in respect of such Nuance Performance Stock Unit had such forfeiture or cancellation not occurred (as adjusted as if such Nuance Performance Stock Units remained outstanding in accordance with
Section 11.06 below), as determined by the Compensation Committee of Nuance as soon as reasonably practicable following November 6, 2019, pursuant to the terms of the Nuance Performance Stock Unit as in effect
immediately prior to such forfeiture or cancellation, multiplied by (y) the closing price of Nuance Common Stock on the day prior to the Distribution Date. SpinCo shall assume all Liabilities with respect to the cash payment obligation
described in this Section 11.05(a), and shall pay such amounts as soon as practicable, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, following Nuance’s delivering to SpinCo its determination of the extent to which
the applicable performance criteria were achieved. For the avoidance of doubt, if a SpinCo Employee’s employment terminates prior to the payment of the cash payment contemplated by this Section 11.05(a) in respect of
his or her Canceled Nuance Performance Stock Unit under circumstances that would have caused a forfeiture of the Nuance Performance Stock Unit as in effect immediately prior to its cancellation, no such payment shall be due to such SpinCo Employee.

 (b)    Each Nuance Performance Stock Unit held by a SpinCo Employee as of immediately prior to the Distribution that
is scheduled to vest based on relative total shareholder return metrics to be measured after November 6, 2019, shall be forfeited in accordance with its terms as of the Distribution (as a result of the SpinCo Employee’s termination of
employment with Nuance and its Subsidiaries) or otherwise canceled. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Distribution Date, each SpinCo Employee whose Nuance Performance Stock Units were so forfeited or canceled in connection with
the Distribution shall be granted SpinCo Restricted Stock Units issued under the SpinCo Equity Incentive Plan and shall be subject to terms and conditions of the SpinCo Equity Incentive Plan and a restricted stock unit award agreement substantially
in the form of the SpinCo Award Agreement. The number of SpinCo Restricted Stock Units to which a SpinCo Employee is entitled pursuant to this Section 11.05(b) shall equal the product of (x) the number of Nuance
Performance Stock Units that were forfeited or canceled in accordance with this Section 11.05(b) (measured assuming achievement of target performance) and (y) the SpinCo Equity Conversion Ratio, with any fractional
shares (after aggregating all such SpinCo Performance Stock Units) rounded down to the nearest whole share. 

Section 11.06.    Treatment of Outstanding Nuance Performance Stock Units Held by Individuals Other Than SpinCo
Employees. Each Nuance Performance Stock Unit not covered by Section 11.05 shall be adjusted as of the Distribution into a number of Nuance Performance Stock Units equal to the product of (x) the number of Nuance
Performance Stock Units subject to the award immediately prior to the Distribution and (y) the Nuance Equity Conversion Ratio, with any 

  
 15 

 
fractional shares subject to each such Nuance Performance Stock Unit award following such adjustment rounded down to the nearest whole share. The Compensation Committee of Nuance shall make
equitable adjustments to the performance goals for such Nuance Performance Stock Units to reflect the Distribution as it deems appropriate under the terms of the Nuance Equity Plans. 

Section 11.07.    Nuance ESPP. The administrator of the Nuance ESPP shall take all actions necessary and
appropriate to provide that (i) SpinCo Employees in the Nuance ESPP shall not be eligible to participate in any future Purchase Periods that begin following the Distribution Date and (ii) any cash remaining in the Nuance ESPP account of
any SpinCo Employee after the Distribution shall be refunded to such SpinCo Employee without interest as soon as administratively practicable. 

Section 11.08.    Establishment of the SpinCo ESPP. Prior to the Distribution, Nuance shall cause SpinCo to
adopt an employee stock purchase plan, to be effective immediately prior to the Distribution (the “SpinCo ESPP”), and Nuance shall approve the SpinCo ESPP as the sole stockholder of SpinCo. 

Section 11.09.    Tax Reporting and Withholding for Equity-Based Awards. Unless otherwise required by
applicable Law, (a) Nuance (or one of its Subsidiaries) will be responsible for all income, payroll, fringe benefit, social security, payment-on-account, and other
Tax reporting relating to income of or otherwise owed by Nuance Employees, Former Nuance Employees, or Former SpinCo Employees from equity-based awards granted to such employees by Nuance and, with respect to awards subject to
Section 11.03(a), SpinCo Employees, (b) SpinCo (or one of its Subsidiaries) will be responsible for all income, payroll, fringe benefit, social,
payment-on-account, and other Tax reporting related to or otherwise owed on income of SpinCo Employees from SpinCo equity-based awards described in this ARTICLE
11 and the cash payment described in Section 11.05(a), (c) Nuance (or one of its Subsidiaries) shall be responsible for remitting applicable Tax withholdings and related payments for equity awards granted by Nuance and
held by Nuance Employees, Former Nuance Employees, Former SpinCo Employees, and with respect to awards subject to Section 11.03(a), SpinCo Employees, to each applicable taxing authority, and (d) SpinCo (or one of its
Subsidiaries) shall be responsible for remitting applicable Tax withholdings and related payments for SpinCo equity awards described in this ARTICLE 11 and the cash payment described in Section 11.05(a) to each
applicable taxing authority. In all cases, Nuance and SpinCo (and any applicable Nuance Subsidiary and SpinCo Subsidiary) agree to cooperate to ensure that such obligations are met. Nuance and SpinCo agree to enter into any necessary agreements
regarding the subject matter of this Section 11.09 to enable Nuance and SpinCo (and any applicable Nuance and SpinCo Subsidiaries) to fulfill their respective obligations hereunder and under applicable Law. 

Nuance will be responsible for all income, payroll, fringe benefit, social security, payment-on
account, and other Tax reporting relating to or otherwise owed on income of its nonemployee directors arising from equity-based awards granted by Nuance. 

Section 11.10.    Nuance and SpinCo Income Tax Deductions in Respect of Certain Equity Awards and
Compensation. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, solely the member of the Group for which the relevant individual is currently employed or, if such individual is not currently employed by a member of the Group, was most recently
employed, in either case, at the time of the vesting, exercise, disqualifying disposition, payment or other relevant taxable event, as appropriate, in respect of equity awards and other compensation shall be entitled to claim any

  
 16 

 
income tax deduction in respect of such equity awards and other compensation on its respective tax return associated with such event; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Nuance
(or the applicable member of the Nuance Group) shall be entitled to claim any income tax deduction associated with the exercise of any Nuance Option covered by Section 11.02. 

Section 11.11.    Compliance. For purposes of this ARTICLE 11, and notwithstanding the use of the
phrase “substantially similar” or anything else to the contrary throughout this article, Nuance and SpinCo reserves the right to impose other requirements or different terms and conditions on the any Nuance or SpinCo equity awards and
SpinCo stock incentive compensation plans, or to treat the equity awards in a different manner, to the extent that either of them determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, including for compliance with non-U.S. laws and regulations and to mitigate the potential impact of non-U.S. tax consequences on the equity awards.

cooperate in good faith and use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including this Agreement, will not result in adverse tax consequences under

Section 15.09.    Confidentiality. 

(a)    Each of Nuance and SpinCo, on behalf of itself and each Person in its respective Group, shall, and shall cause its
respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel, and other advisors and representatives to, hold in strict confidence and not release or disclose, with at least the same degree of care, that it applies to its own confidential
and proprietary Information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Distribution, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, all Information concerning the other Group or its business that is either in its possession (including Information in
its possession prior to the Distribution) or furnished by the other Group or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel, and other advisors and representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement and shall not use
any such Information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such Information is (i) in the public domain through no fault of any member of the Nuance Group or the SpinCo
Group, as applicable, or any of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel, or other advisors and representatives, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by any of Nuance, SpinCo, or its respective
Group, directors, officers, employees or agents, accountants, counsel, or other advisors and representatives, as applicable, which sources are not, to the knowledge of any of Nuance, SpinCo, or Persons in its respective Group, themselves bound by a
confidentiality obligation regarding such Information, (iii) independently generated without reference to any proprietary or confidential Information of the Nuance Group or the SpinCo Group, as applicable, or (iv) required to be disclosed
by applicable Law; provided, however, that the Person required to disclose such Information gives the applicable Person prompt and, to the extent reasonably practicable, prior notice of such disclosure and an opportunity to contest
such disclosure and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, at the expense of the requesting Person, in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements requested by such Person. If such appropriate protective order or other remedy is
not obtained, the Person that is required to disclose such Information shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of such Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure
that confidential treatment is accorded such Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Nuance and SpinCo may release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any such Information concerning the other Group (A) to their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel, and other advisors and representatives who need to know such Information (who shall be advised of the obligations hereunder with respect to such Information) and (B) to
any nationally recognized statistical rating agency as it reasonably deems necessary, solely for the purpose of obtaining a rating of securities upon normal terms and conditions; provided, however, that the Party whose Information is
being disclosed or released to such rating agency is promptly notified thereof. 
 (b)    Without limiting the
foregoing, when any Information concerning the other Group or its business is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, the applicable Party shall, promptly after request of the other Party, either return all Information in a

  
 20 

 
tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts, or summaries based thereon) or certify to the other Party, as applicable, that it has destroyed such Information (and used
commercially reasonable efforts to destroy all such Information electronically preserved or recorded within any computerized data storage device or component (including any hard-drive or database)).
