Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides in relevant part that “[a] corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.” With respect to derivative actions, Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that “[a] corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the . . . [person’s service in one of the capacities specified in the preceding sentence] against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.”
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may contain “[a] provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of: (i) A director or officer for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) A director or officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) A director under § 174 of this title; (iv) A director or officer for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; or (v) An officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation. No such provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective.” Article Fifteenth of the Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, no director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
Article Eleventh of the Corporation's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of directors and officers of the Corporation against liability they may incur in their capacities as such to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
The Corporation has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers. Pursuant to such agreements, the Corporation will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify such persons against all expenses incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they were directors or officers of the Corporation.
The DGCL also provides that Delaware corporations may purchase insurance on behalf of any such director, officer, employee or agent. The Corporation has purchased and maintains insurance on behalf of the Corporation's directors and officers.

Item 9. Undertakings.
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee Tables" in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Jack Henry & Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Company has requested that we issue this legal opinion in connection with the filing of the registration statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed on or about the date hereof by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and regulations promulgated thereunder.
The Registration Statement relates to the registration under the Act of 4,700,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Shares"), to be issued pursuant to the Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan").
As the basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have examined the Registration Statement, the Plan, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and the Restated and Amended Bylaws of the Company. We also have examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company.
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have assumed the accuracy of all other information provided to us by the Company during the course of our investigations, on which we have relied in issuing the opinions expressed below. We have assumed that the Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Act. Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that if and when such Common Shares are issued in the manner permitted by the Plan and against consideration therefor in an amount per share equal to or greater than the par value per share:
1. Such Common Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Our opinion is subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
The opinions expressed in this letter are limited in all respects to the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), and expressly exclude federal law and state securities laws. This opinion is limited to the effect of the current state of the DGCL and the facts as they currently exist. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such law or the interpretations thereof or such facts.
