PURCHASE AGREEMENT

October 14, 2016

To the Purchaser named in Schedule 1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Quotient Limited, a public limited liability company formed under the Laws of Jersey, Channel Islands (the “Issuer”), and the Subsidiaries of the Issuer named on the signature pages hereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), hereby covenant and agree with you as follows:

ARTICLE I

INTRODUCTORY

Section 1.1    Introductory. The Issuer proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell to the purchaser named in Schedule 1 (the “Purchaser”) and to the Other Purchasers up to $120,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2023. The principal amounts of Notes to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Purchase Agreement are set forth opposite the Purchaser’s name in Schedule 1. The Notes to be sold to the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers are to be issued on the applicable Closing Date pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Indenture.

The Notes and the Guarantees will be offered and sold to the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”), and the Royalty Rights will be offered and sold to the Purchasers or Affiliates of the Purchasers, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

ARTICLE II

RULES OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEFINED TERMS

Section 2.1    Rules of Construction and Defined Terms. The rules of construction set forth in Annex A shall apply to this Purchase Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Purchase Agreement as if set forth fully in this Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Purchase Agreement shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in Annex A, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Purchase Agreement as if set forth fully in this Purchase Agreement.

ARTICLE III

SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES; CLOSINGS; ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

Section 3.1    Sale and Purchase of Notes; Closings. On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Purchase Agreement and the Indenture, the Issuer will issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will purchase, (a) on the Issue Date, the principal amount of Original Notes set forth opposite the Purchaser’s name in Schedule 1, and (b) on a date selected by the Issuer that is within 10 Business Days from the occurrence of the Additional Securities Triggering Event (but not during the period between

 

1


the day immediately after the relevant Record Date immediately preceding the next related Payment Date and such Payment Date, unless the entire such 10 Business Day period following the Additional Securities Triggering Event is within such period, in which case, on the Business Day immediately following such Payment Date), and only upon no less than five Business Days’ written notice by the Issuer to the Trustee and the Purchaser (the “Subsequent Closing Date”), the principal amount of Additional Notes set forth opposite the Purchaser’s name in Schedule I. It is acknowledged and agreed that Additional Notes shall not be issued, and the Subsequent Closing Date shall not occur, if the Additional Securities Triggering Event has not occurred. The Purchaser will purchase the applicable principal amount of Original Notes set forth in Schedule 1 on the Issue Date at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (the “Original Notes Price”), and the Purchaser will purchase the applicable principal amount of Additional Notes set forth in Schedule 1 on the Subsequent Closing Date at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the Issue Date or, if interest has already been paid on the Original Notes, from the date interest was most recently paid on the Original Notes to but excluding the Subsequent Closing Date (but, as to such interest, only to the extent such Additional Notes have the same CUSIP number as the Original Notes) (the “Additional Notes Price” and, collectively with the Original Notes Price, the “Price”). Contemporaneously with entering into this Purchase Agreement, the Obligors are entering into separate purchase agreements (the “Other Agreements”) substantially identical to this Purchase Agreement with other purchasers (the “Other Purchasers”), providing for the sale on the Issue Date to each of the Other Purchasers of the applicable Original Notes in the applicable principal amounts specified opposite its name in Schedule 1 to such Other Agreement, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amounts thereof, and the sale on the Subsequent Closing Date to each of the Other Purchasers of the applicable Additional Notes in the applicable principal amounts specified opposite its name in Schedule 1 to such Other Agreement, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amounts thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the Issue Date or, if interest has already been paid on the Original Notes, from the date interest was most recently paid on the Original Notes to but excluding the Subsequent Closing Date (but, as to such interest, only to the extent such Additional Notes have the same CUSIP number as the Original Notes) (the purchase prices to be paid pursuant to such Other Agreements are collectively referred to, together with the Price, as the “Purchase Price”). The Issuer shall not be obligated to deliver, and no Purchaser shall be required to purchase, any of the Original Notes except upon delivery of and payment for all the Original Notes to be purchased by the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreements on the Issue Date and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the respective terms and conditions hereunder and thereunder.

On the applicable Closing Date, the Issuer will deliver one or more Global Securities for the account of DTC, as well as any Definitive Securities to the relevant Purchasers, evidencing the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be acquired by all Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreements on such Closing Date. On the applicable Closing Date, the Issuer will deliver the Global Securities to DTC, as well as any Definitive Securities to the relevant Purchasers, against payment by each such Purchaser of its respective portion of the applicable aggregate Purchase Price for its beneficial interest therein by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Trustee Closing Account. The Issuer shall cause U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee under the Indenture (the “Trustee”), to hold all such funds in trust for the Purchasers pending completion of the applicable closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements. Upon receipt by the Trustee of the applicable Purchase Price and the

 

2


satisfaction of the applicable conditions to closing set forth in Article VI in respect of the related Closing Date, the Issuer shall cause the Trustee to disburse the applicable Purchase Price in accordance with written instructions provided by the Issuer to the Trustee. If the applicable aggregate Purchase Price shall not have been received by the Trustee by 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Issue Date, or if the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements shall not otherwise be capable of being consummated by 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Issue Date, then the Trustee shall return, and the Issuer shall cause the Trustee to return, such portion of the applicable Purchase Price to such Purchaser prior to the close of business on the Issue Date or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, in which case such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all obligations (other than confidentiality obligations) under the applicable Purchase Agreement.

Section 3.2    Allocation of Purchase Price. The Issuer and the Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that the Notes issued to the Purchaser and the Royalty Right sold by the Issuer to the Purchaser (or its Affiliates) on the Issue Date constitute an “investment unit” for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code. In accordance with Section 1273(b)(2) of the Code and Section 1273(c)(2)(A) of the Code, the issue price of the investment unit is 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. Allocating that issue price between such Notes and such Royalty Right based on their relative fair market values, as required by Section 1273(c)(2)(B) of the Code and U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h)(1), results in (a) such Notes having an issue price of 89.36% of the principal amount of such Notes and (b) such Royalty Right having a purchase price of 10.64% of the principal amount of such Notes. The Issuer and the Purchaser agree to prepare their respective U.S. federal income tax returns, including statements and reports related thereto, as the case may be, in a manner consistent with the foregoing agreement, to the extent such returns, statements and reports are required to be filed.

The Issuer and the Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that the Notes to be issued to the Purchaser and the Royalty Right to be sold by the Issuer to the Purchaser (or its Affiliates) on the Subsequent Closing Date will constitute an “investment unit” for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code. In accordance with Section 1273(b)(2) of the Code and Section 1273(c)(2)(A) of the Code, the issue price of the investment unit will be 100% of the principal amount of such Notes (excluding, in the event the Additional Notes to be issued on the Subsequent Closing Date would be part of a “qualified reopening” for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the Original Notes sold on the Issue Date, any accrued and unpaid interest payable in respect of the Additional Notes). The allocation of that issue price between such Notes and such Royalty Right will be based on their relative fair market values on the Subsequent Closing Date, as required by Section 1273(c)(2)(B) of the Code and U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h)(1). Such allocation shall be set forth in the Royalty Right Agreement entered into on the Subsequent Closing Date. The Issuer and the Purchaser agree to prepare their respective U.S. federal income tax returns, including statements and reports related thereto, as the case may be, in a manner consistent with the foregoing agreement, to the extent such returns, statements and reports are required to be filed.

Section 5.6    Organization; Power; Authorization; Enforceability.

Each of the Obligors is duly qualified as a foreign corporation (or other equivalent entity) in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its business or location of its properties require such qualifications except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Obligors has the requisite corporate (or other equivalent organizational) power and authority to own, lease or operate the properties and assets it purports to own, lease or operate, to carry on its business as presently conducted and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each Transaction Document to which it is a party except where the failure to have such power and authority to own, lease or operate such properties and assets and carry on such business would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Transaction Document entered into as of the Issue Date to which any Obligor is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Obligor and constitutes the valid, legally binding and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by all other parties thereto, enforceable obligation of such Obligor, as the case may be (subject, in each case, to general equitable principles, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization and other Laws of general application relating to creditors’ rights). Each Transaction Document to be entered into after the Issue Date to which any Obligor will be a party will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Obligor and will constitute the valid, legally binding and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by all other parties thereto, enforceable obligation of such Obligor, as the case may be (subject, in each case, to general equitable principles, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization and other Laws of general application relating to creditors’ rights).

No “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA provides or promises, or at any time provided or promised, retiree health, or other retiree welfare benefits except to the extent such benefit is fully insured or may be required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, or similar state law and except, on a case by case basis, limited extensions of health insurance benefits to former employees receiving severance payments from any Obligor. Each Employee Benefit Plan is and has been operated in compliance with its terms and all applicable Laws, including but not limited to ERISA and the Code and, to the knowledge of the Obligors, no event has occurred and no condition exists that would subject any Obligor to any tax, fine, lien, penalty or liability imposed by ERISA, the Code or other applicable law which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Employee Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and has a favorable determination or opinion letter from the IRS upon which it can rely, and any such determination or opinion letter remains in effect and has not been revoked; with respect to each Foreign Benefit Plan, such Foreign Benefit Plan (1) if intended to qualify for special tax treatment, meets, in all material respects, the requirements for such treatment, and (2) if required to be funded, is funded to the extent required by applicable Law; none of the Obligors has any obligations under any collective bargaining agreement with any union.

Section 5.17    Material Contracts.
