(a) General. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Laureate shall, or shall cause one of its subsidiaries to, second to Institution or one of its subsidiaries, and Institution or one of its subsidiaries, as applicable, agrees to accept the secondment of, those certain specifically identified individuals (each, a “Seconded Employee” and collectively, the “Seconded Employees”) listed on Exhibit C (the “Seconded Employee Schedule”) for the purpose of performing job functions related to the services provided hereunder (the “Secondment Services”). The Seconded Employees will remain at all times employees of Laureate or one of its subsidiaries, to the extent applicable, but, in addition, they will also be temporary employees of Institution or one of its subsidiaries, as applicable, during the Period of Secondment (as defined in subsection (b) below) and shall, at all times during the Period of Secondment, work under the direction, supervision and control of Institution or one of its subsidiaries. For each Seconded Employee, the “Period of Secondment” shall be that period of time as set forth in subsection (b) below. The Seconded Employees shall have no authority or apparent authority to act on behalf of Laureate or any of its subsidiaries, to the extent applicable, during the Period of Secondment.

The Seconded Employee Schedule sets forth the names of the Seconded Employees seconded by Laureate and any of its subsidiaries, to the extent applicable, the job function(s) of the Seconded Employees and the starting date for the Period of Secondment for each Seconded Employee. Individuals may be added or removed from the Seconded Employee Schedule monthly in the sole discretion of Laureate upon Laureate providing Institution with a completed “Addition/Removal/Change of Responsibility of Seconded Employee” form, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D, no less than thirty (30) days’ prior to such addition or change.

Upon the commencement of a Seconded Employee’s Period of Secondment, Laureate shall cause each Seconded Employee to execute an “Employment Status Acknowledgement” letter, the form of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit E. Those rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that relate to individuals that were on the Seconded Employee Schedule but then later are removed from the Seconded Employee Schedule, which rights and obligations accrued before the removal of such individual, will survive the removal of such individual from the Seconded Employee Schedule to the extent necessary to enforce such rights and obligations.

(b) Period of Secondment. Laureate shall, or shall cause one of its subsidiaries to, second to Institution or one of its subsidiaries each Seconded Employee on the start date set forth opposite their name on the Seconded Employee Schedule, and

continue to second, during the period (and only during the period) that the Seconded Employee is performing Secondment Services for Institution or one of its subsidiaries from such date, until the earliest of:

(1) the end of the Term;

(2) the end date, if any, set forth for the Seconded Employee on the Seconded Employee Schedule (or such other end date for such Seconded Employee as determined by Laureate and communicated to Institution no less than thirty (30) days’ prior to such date) (such date, the “End Date”);

(3) a termination of employment such Seconded Employee under subsection (c) below; and

(4) a termination of Secondment Services for such Seconded Employee under subsection (d) below.

The foregoing constitutes the “Period of Secondment” as applicable to each Seconded Employee. At the end of the Period of Secondment for any Seconded Employee, such Seconded Employee will no longer be subject to the direction of Institution or any of its subsidiaries with regard to the Seconded Employee’s day-to-day activities.

(c) Termination of Employment. If any Seconded Employee (1) dies, retires, becomes disabled or otherwise tenders his resignation for any reason to Laureate or one of its subsidiaries, to the extent applicable or (2) is terminated by Laureate or one of its subsidiaries, to the extent applicable, for Laureate Cause (as defined on Exhibit A), in any such case, Laureate or the applicable subsidiary, to the extent applicable, will notify Institution of such termination of employment as soon as practicable after receipt of notice by the Seconded Employee, notice of such occurrence or such termination if the termination is for Laureate Cause, to the extent applicable, but in no event, in any such case, later than the last day of the fiscal quarter during which termination of employment occurs. During the Period of Secondment for any Seconded Employee, other than in connection with a termination of employment of a Seconded Employee by Laureate or one of its subsidiaries, to the extent applicable, for Laureate Cause, Laureate or one of its subsidiaries, to the extent applicable, agrees not to voluntarily withdraw or terminate any Seconded Employee except with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such withdrawal or termination through a completed Addition/Removal/Change of Responsibility of Seconded Employee form. Upon the termination of employment of a Seconded Employee, the Seconded Employee will cease performing services for Institution.

(d) Termination of Secondment. Except as othe1wise prohibited by applicable law or any agreement as in effect at the time of termination, Institution will have the right to terminate the Secondment Services to it or any of its subsidiaries of any Seconded Employee for any reason at any time on not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Laureate; provided, however, that any termination of Secondment Services of a Seconded Employee by Institution for Institution Cause (as defined on

Exhibit A) shall be effective immediately. Upon the termination of any Seconded Employee’s Period of Secondment, Laureate or one of its subsidiaries, as applicable, will be solely liable for any costs or expenses associated with the termination of such Secondment Services, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement.

(e) Supervision. During the Period of Secondment, Institution and its subsidiaries, as applicable, shall:
