        meaning of Code Section 280G and would but for this Section, be subject to the excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 (the “ Excise Tax”), then prior to making the 280G Payments, a calculation shall be made comparing (1) the “Net Benefit” (as
        defined below) to the Executive of the 280G Payments after the payment of the Excise Tax to (2) the Net  Benefit to the Executive if the 280G Payments are limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax.  Only if the amount
        calculated under (1) above is less than the amount under (2) above will the 280G Payments be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the 280G payments is subject to the Excise Tax.  “Net Benefit” shall be the present
        value of the 280G Payments net of all federal, state and local income employment and excise taxes.  Any such reduction made pursuant to this Section 7(e) shall be consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A.  All calculations and
        determinations under this Section 7(e) shall be made by an independent accounting firm or independent tax counsel appointed by Adtalem whose determination shall be conclusive and binding on Adtalem and the Executive for all purposes.

     

    8.            Confidential Information.

     

    (a)            The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the continued success of Adtalem and its Affiliates depends upon the use and protection of a
      large body of confidential and proprietary information and that the Executive will have access to the entire universe of Adtalem’s Confidential Information (as defined below in Section 8(b)), as well as certain confidential information of other
      Persons with which Adtalem and its Affiliates do business, and that such information constitutes valuable, special and unique property of Adtalem, its Affiliates and such other Persons.

    

    

    (b)            For purposes of this Agreement, Adtalem’s “Confidential
          Information” shall include Adtalem and its Affiliates’ trade secrets as defined under Delaware law, as well as any other information or material which is not generally known to the public, and which: (a) is generated, collected by or
      utilized in the operations of Adtalem or its Affiliates’ business and relates to the actual or anticipated business, research or development of Adtalem, its Affiliates or Adtalem and its Affiliates’ actual or prospective Customers; or (b) is
      suggested by or results from any task assigned to the Executive by Adtalem or its Affiliates, or work performed by the Executive for or on behalf of Adtalem or its Affiliates.  Confidential Information shall not be considered generally known to the
      public if the Executive or others improperly reveal such information to the public without Adtalem or its Affiliates’ express written consent and in violation of an obligation of confidentiality owed to Adtalem or its Affiliates.  Confidential
      Information includes, without limitation, the information, observations and data obtained by the Executive while employed by Adtalem concerning the business or affairs of Adtalem or its Affiliates, including information concerning acquisition
      opportunities in or reasonably related to Adtalem or its Affiliates’ business or industry, the identities of and other information (such as databases) relating to the current, former or prospective employees, suppliers and Customers of Adtalem or its

      6

      
        

    

     

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

    

    

    (d)            The Executive understands that Adtalem and its Affiliates will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty of Adtalem or its Affiliates to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only
      for certain limited purposes.  During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, the Executive will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose
      to anyone (other than personnel and consultants of Adtalem and its Affiliates who need to know such information in connection with their work for Adtalem or its Affiliates) or use Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by such third
      party or by a member of the Board or Adtalem’s General Counsel.

     

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

    
      7

      
        

    

    

    

    (f)          Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or
        shall be interpreted to prohibit disclosure of information to the limited extent permitted by and in accordance with the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”).  Disclosures that are protected by the DTSA as follows do not violate this
        Agreement. The DTSA provides that:  (1) An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret under the Act that:  (A) is made – (i) in confidence to a Federal,
        State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or
        other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal; and (2) An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the
        trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual:  (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

     

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

     

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

    11.            Non-Compete, Non-Solicitation.

     

    (a)            In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to the Executive hereunder, the Executive acknowledges that in the course of the
      Executive’s employment with Adtalem, the Executive has, and will continue to, become familiar with Adtalem’s Confidential Information, methods of doing business, business plans and other valuable proprietary information concerning Adtalem, its
      Affiliates, and their customers and suppliers and that the Executive’s services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Adtalem and its Affiliates.  The Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period,  and continuing
      for 12 months after the Employment Period and/or her service as the Executive Chair (the “Restricted Period”), the Executive will not,
      directly or indirectly, anywhere in the Restricted Area:

     

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

    

    

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

     

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

    
      9

      
        

    

     

    

     (b)            During the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, in any manner: (i) hire or engage, or recruit, solicit or
      otherwise attempt to employ or retain any Person who is or was an employee of or consultant to Adtalem or its Affiliates within the 12 month period immediately preceding the termination of the Executive’s employment, or (ii) induce or attempt to
      induce any person who is or was an employee of, or consultant to, Adtalem or its Affiliates within the 12 month period immediately preceding the termination of the Executive’s employment, to leave the employ of Adtalem or the relevant Affiliates, or
      in any way interfere with the relationship between Adtalem, its Affiliates and any of their employees or consultants; provided, however that the Executive may hire former employees and consultants to Adtalem and its Affiliates after such former
      employees or consultants have ceased to be employed or otherwise engaged by Adtalem or its Affiliates for a period of at least 12 months. The above notwithstanding, the Executive shall be permitted to hire any executive assistance assigned to her
      without regard to the 12 month non-solicitation period.

     

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

     

    (d)            The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 11 with respect to time, geographical area and scope of
      activity are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and other legitimate business interests of Adtalem and its Affiliates.  In particular, the Executive agrees and acknowledges that Adtalem is
      currently engaging in Business and actively marketing its services and products throughout the Restricted Area, that the Executive’s duties and responsibilities for Adtalem and its Affiliates are co-extensive with the entire scope of Adtalem’s
      Business, that Adtalem has spent significant time and effort developing and protecting the confidentiality of their methods of doing business, technology, customer lists, long term customer relationships and trade secrets and that such methods,
      technology, customer lists, customer relationships and trade secrets have significant value.  However, if, at the time of enforcement of this Section 11, a court holds that the duration, geographical area or scope of activity restrictions stated
      herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing or impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and other business interests of Adtalem and its Affiliates, the Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area
      reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court will be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law, in all cases
      giving effect to the intent of the parties that the restrictions contained herein be given effect to the broadest extent possible.  The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against Adtalem, whether predicated on this Agreement
      or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Adtalem of the provisions of Sections 8, 9, 10, or this Section 11, which Sections will be enforceable notwithstanding the existence of any breach by Adtalem.  Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, the Executive will not be prohibited from pursuing such claims or causes of action against Adtalem.  The Executive consents to Adtalem notifying any future employer of the Executive of the Executive’s obligations under Sections 8, 9, 10,
      and this Section 11 of this Agreement.

    
      10

      
        

    

    

    

    (e)            In the event of the breach or a threatened breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of Sections 8, 9, 10, or this Section 11, Adtalem,
      in addition and supplementary to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, will be entitled to seek specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief (in the form of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and
      permanent injunction) from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof.

     

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

     

    (g)            Neither the Board’s consent under Section 11(f) nor Adtalem’s failure to seek enforcement of any restrictive covenant under this Agreement
      shall be deemed a consent or waiver by Adtalem of any subsequent breach of this Agreement by the Executive and Adtalem shall have the right to seek enforcement of this Agreement against the Executive for any breach not specifically consented to in
      writing by the Board or Adtalem.

     

    12.            Stock Ownership.  The Executive acknowledges, and agrees to comply with, Adtalem’s executive stock ownership guidelines as they exist from time to time.

     

    13.            Executive’s Representations.  The Executive hereby warrants and represents to Adtalem that the Executive is not subject to any covenants, agreements or restrictions, including without limitation
      any covenants, agreements or restrictions arising out of the Executive’s prior employment, which would be breached or violated by the Executive’s execution of this Agreement or by the Executive’s performance of his duties hereunder.

    
      11

      
        

    

    

    

    14.            Compliance with Code Section 409A.

     

    (a)            The Parties intend that any amounts payable under this Agreement, and Adtalem’s and the Executive’s exercise of authority hereunder, either
      comply with or are exempt from the provisions of Code Section 409A so as not to subject the Executive to the payment of the additional tax, interest and any tax penalty which may be imposed under Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
      particular tax result for the Executive with respect to any income recognized by the Executive in connection with this Agreement is guaranteed.

     

    (b)            Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code
      Section 409A and determined pursuant to policies adopted by the Company) at the time of the Executive’s separation from service and if any portion of the payments or benefits to be received by the Executive upon separation from service would be
      considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, during the six-month period
      immediately following the Executive’s separation from service will instead be paid or made available on the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month following the date of the Executive’s separation from service and (ii) the Executive’s
      death.

     

    (c)            To the extent any reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided under this Agreement is nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of
      Code Section 409A (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year; (ii)
      the reimbursement of an eligible expense must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or
      exchange for another benefit; and (iv) in no event shall Adtalem’s obligations to make such reimbursements or to provide such in-kind benefits apply later than the Executive’s remaining lifetime (or, if longer, through the 6th anniversary of the
      Effective Date).

     

    (d)            Each payment under this Agreement is intended to be a “separate payment” and not of a series of payments for purposes of Code Section 409A.

     

    (e)            A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of
      any amounts or benefits subject to Code Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), and notwithstanding anything contained herein
      the contrary, the date on which such separation from service takes place shall be the termination date.

     

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

    
      12

      
        

    

    

    

    16.             Clawback Provisions.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, any incentive-based compensation, or any other compensation, paid to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or any
        other agreement or arrangement with Adtalem with is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock  exchange listing requirement, will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law,
        government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by Adtalem pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement).

    

    

    17.            Notices.  Any notice provided for in this Agreement will be in writing and will be either personally delivered, sent by reputable overnight courier service, sent by facsimile (with hard copy to

      jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

    19.            Complete Agreement.  This Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations

      Executive may not assign the Executive’s rights or delegate the Executive’s duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Adtalem.  Adtalem may not assign its rights and obligations hereunder, without the consent of, or notice
      to, the Executive, with the sole exception being a sale to any Person that acquires all or substantially all of Adtalem whether stock or assets, in which case such consent of the Executive is not necessary.

     

    23.            Choice of Law; Exclusive Venue.  THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL ISSUES AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
      CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW RULES OR PROVISIONS (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION
      OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.  SUBJECT TO SECTION 25 OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO SECTIONS 8, 9, 10, OR 11 OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN
      DELAWARE (COLLECTIVELY THE “DESIGNATED COURTS”).  EACH PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE DESIGNATED
      COURTS.  WITH RESPECT TO LITIGATION UNDER SECTIONS 8, 9, 10, OR 11, OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS OR DEFENSES OF LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION DEFENSE, AND ANY OBJECTION WHICH SUCH PARTY
      MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY DESIGNATED COURT, INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT ON THE BASIS THAT ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN THE DESIGNATED COURTS HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN
      AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM OR VENUE.

    
      14

      
        

    

     

    24.            Dispute Resolution.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any and all other disputes, controversies or questions arising under, out of, or relating to this Agreement (or the breach
      thereof), or, the Executive’s employment with Adtalem or termination thereof, other than those disputes relating to the Executive’s alleged violations of Sections 8 (Confidential Information), 9 (return of property), 10 (intellectual property) and 11
      (covenants of noncompete and nonsolicitation) of this Agreement, shall be referred for binding arbitration in Chicago, Illinois to a neutral arbitrator (who is licensed to practice law in any State within the United States of America) selected by the
      Executive and Adtalem and this shall be the exclusive and sole means for resolving such dispute.  Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the National Rules for Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration
      Association.  The arbitrator shall have the discretion to award reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses to the prevailing party.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  This
      Section 24 does not apply to any action by either party under Sections 8, 9, 10, and 11 of this Agreement and does not in any way restrict either Party’s rights under Section 23 of this Agreement.

    

    

    25.            Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial.  IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION AS PERMITTED UNDER SECTION 23 (AND SUBJECT TO SECTION 24) OF THIS AGREEMENT, ADTALEM AND THE EXECUTIVE EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO
      A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER SUCH PARTY, AS
      PERTAINS TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE UNDER SECTIONS 9, 10, 11, OR 12 OF THIS AGREEMENT.  ADTALEM AND THE EXECUTIVE EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION WILL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE
      FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR
      ENFORCEABILITY OF SECTIONS 8, 9, 10 OR 11  OF THIS AGREEMENT.  THIS WAIVER WILL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO SECTIONS 8, 9, 10, OR 11 OF THIS AGREEMENT.

     

    26.            Indemnification.  In addition to any rights to indemnification to which the Executive is entitled under Adtalem’s charter and by-laws, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Adtalem
      will indemnify, from the assets of Adtalem supplemented by insurance in an amount determined by Adtalem, the Executive at all times, during and after the Employment Period, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, shall pay the
      Executive’s expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, which shall be paid in advance by Adtalem as incurred, subject to recoupment in accordance with applicable law) in connection with any threatened or actual action, suit or
      proceeding to which the Executive may be made a party, brought by any shareholder of Adtalem directly or derivatively or by any third party by reason of any act or omission or alleged act or omission in relation to any affairs of Adtalem or any
      subsidiary or Affiliate of Adtalem of the Executive as an officer, director or employee of Adtalem or of any subsidiary or Affiliate of Adtalem.  Adtalem shall use its best efforts to maintain during the Employment Period and thereafter insurance
      coverage sufficient in the determination of the Board to satisfy any indemnification obligation of Adtalem arising under this Section 26.

    
      15

      
        

    

     

    27.            Nondisparagement.

     

    (a)            The Executive agrees that both during the Employment Period and thereafter, the Executive shall not make or publish any statements or comments
      that disparage or injure the reputation or goodwill of Adtalem or any of its affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers or directors, or otherwise make any oral or written statements that a reasonable person would expect at the time such
      statement is made to likely have the effect of diminishing or injuring the reputation or goodwill of Adtalem, or any of its affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers or directors; provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent the
      Executive from providing any information that may be compelled by law.

    

    

    (b)            Adtalem agrees that both during the Employment Period and thereafter, the Compensation Committee and Board shall not make or publish any
      statements or comments that disparage or injure the reputation or goodwill of the Executive, or otherwise make any oral or written statements that a reasonable person would expect at the time such statement is made to likely have the effect of
      diminishing or injuring the reputation or goodwill of the Executive; provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent the Adtalem from providing any information that may be compelled by law.

     

    28.            Assistance in Proceedings.  During the Employment Period and thereafter, the Executive will cooperate with Adtalem in any internal investigation or administrative, regulatory or judicial
      proceeding as reasonably requested by Adtalem (including, without limitation, the Executive being available to Adtalem upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at Adtalem’s request to give testimony without
      requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to Adtalem all pertinent information and turning over to Adtalem all relevant documents which are or may come into the Executive’s possession, all at times and on schedules that are
      reasonably consistent with the Executive’s other permitted activities and commitments).  In the event Adtalem requires the Executive’s cooperation in accordance with this Section 28, Adtalem will pay the Executive a reasonable per diem as determined
      by the Board and reimburse the Executive for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith (including lodging and meals, upon submission of receipts).

     

    29.            Amendment and Waiver.  The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of Adtalem and the Executive or pursuant to Section 18, and no course of
      conduct or course of dealing or failure or delay by any Party hereto in enforcing or exercising any of the provisions of this Agreement will affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or be deemed to be an implied waiver
      of any provision of this Agreement.
