TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [·], 2013 (the “Effective Date”), by and among News Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Remainco”) and New Newscorp LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Remainco (“New News Corporation,” and, together with Remainco, each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Remainco and New News Corporation have entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) which sets forth, among other things, the terms of the separation, which shall occur in a series of transactions, by Remainco of its Separated Business, such that Remainco will own and conduct, directly and indirectly, the Remainco Business and New News Corporation will own and conduct, directly and indirectly, the Separated Business (such transactions, as may be amended or modified from time to time, the “Separation”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement and in order to ensure an orderly and expeditious transition following the Separation, each party desires that the other party provide, or cause its Affiliates or contractors to provide, certain transition services in exchange for the consideration stated in this Agreement and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Remainco and New News Corporation have each determined that it is desirable to enter into this Agreement, which sets forth the terms of certain relationships and other agreements among Remainco and New News Corporation as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

SERVICES

Section 1.1 Provision of Services.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Party, as Service Provider, agrees to provide (or cause one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to provide) to the other Party (or to one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), as Service Recipient, in each case as applicable, those services described in the exhibits attached hereto (each an “Exhibit,” and each such Exhibit, together with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a “Services Agreement”), each on and pursuant to the terms set forth therein (together, with the Additional Services (as defined in Section 1.2), the “Services”). The Services shall be specifically limited to those tasks described in the Exhibits to this Agreement unless specifically expanded by amendment to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Parties may

mutually agree (in their respective sole discretion) to the provision of certain ad hoc services related to the Services through the issuance and acceptance of one or more work orders by the Parties.

(b) The Parties agree and acknowledge that the obligation to provide, and the right to receive, any Services (or portions thereof) may be assigned, allocated and/or contributed, in whole or in part, to any Affiliate(s) of the relevant Party. To the extent so assigned, allocated and/or contributed, the relevant Affiliate shall be deemed the relevant Service Provider or Service Recipient, as applicable, with respect to the relevant portion of such Services; provided that no assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement unless agreed to by the non-assigning Party.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing herein shall prohibit, modify or limit Remainco’s ability to transfer or allocate assets and liabilities, as the case may be, to any entity in connection with, or in contemplation of, the Separation, the Separation Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (other than this Agreement) or otherwise, and to the extent that any such transfer or allocation results in a change to which Party reasonably should be Service Provider and/or Service Recipient then the relevant Parties shall make such amendments, revisions or modifications to the Exhibits as are reasonably necessary to reflect the appropriate Service Provider and/or Service Recipient, as the case may be.

Section 1.2 Additional Services.

(a) From time to time during the Term (as defined in Section 1.3), a Service Recipient may find it desirable to request, in addition to the Services described in the applicable Exhibits, additional services to be made available to such Service Recipient by the applicable Service Provider (“Additional Services”). In the event that such Service Recipient makes a written request that a Service Provider provide Additional Services, Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Additional Services and the relevant Parties shall negotiate in good faith and execute amendments to the relevant Exhibits for such Additional Services that shall set forth the terms and conditions for the provision of such Additional Services, including, among other things, (a) the time period during which the Additional Services shall be provided, (b) a description of the Additional Services, and (c) the estimated charge for the Additional Services. A Service Provider’s obligations with respect to providing any such Additional Services shall become effective only upon an amendment to the relevant Exhibits being duly executed and delivered by the relevant Service Provider and the relevant Service Recipient.

(b) The Parties agree and acknowledge that any other transition or similar assistance that may be provided by a Party or its Affiliates to another Party or its Affiliates (but is not described in an Exhibit hereto and is not otherwise agreed to in writing pursuant to Section 1.2(a) or part of the terms of the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements) in connection with the Separation shall be deemed to be provided under this Agreement as Services (and therefore subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the exclusions of, and limitations on, liability), unless the Parties expressly agree in writing that such other transition or similar assistance is not governed by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not require any Party to provide any transition or similar assistance that is not otherwise required under this Agreement.

Section 1.3 Term of Agreement and Services. The term of a Services Agreement shall commence upon the date or time set forth in the applicable Exhibit and, unless earlier terminated by the relevant Parties as provided herein, shall expire in accordance with the terms of such Services Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated by the relevant Parties as provided herein, shall expire upon the last day on which either Party is required to provide Services to any Service Recipient hereunder or under any other Service Agreement (the “Term”).

Section 1.4 Subcontracting of Services. Each Service Recipient under a Services Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Service Provider (a) may have subcontracted, and may continue to subcontract, with unaffiliated third parties to provide services in connection with all or any portion of the Services to be provided under such Services Agreement (“Third Party Providers”) and (b) shall be entitled to, as it deems necessary and appropriate, employ the services of Third Party Providers to provide the Services that are, as of the date of this Agreement, provided by the Service Provider; provided, that the level of service remains materially consistent with the level of service previously provided to the Service Recipient in the 12 months prior to the Distribution To the extent provided, the Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Third Party Provider to provide such Services under this Agreement and/or (ii) enable the Service Recipient to avail itself of such Services; provided, however, that if any such Third Party Provider shall thereafter become unable or unwilling to provide any such Services, the Service Provider shall notify the Service Recipient thereof in writing and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Services or, after consultation with the Service Recipient, use its commercially reasonable efforts to determine an alternative manner in which such Services can best be provided; and provided, further, that except as provided in Section 6.4, nothing in the preceding sentence shall require the Service Provider or any of its Affiliates to commence any legal proceeding or other action in connection with its enforcement of its rights under any agreement with any Third Party Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Service Recipient to a Services Agreement acknowledges that any Services subcontracted to a Third Party Provider will be provided in accordance with the applicable Service Provider’s agreement with such Third Party Provider, subject to Section 1.5.

Section 1.5 Standard of Service. Each Service Provider agrees that in providing (or causing others to provide) the Services under any Services Agreement, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Affiliate or advisor and, to the extent practicable, any other third-party service provider to) at all times perform such Services: (i) (a) in a manner that is substantially similar in nature, quality, frequency and timeliness to the services provided in the twelve months prior to the Effective Date, (b) with the use of reasonable care, (c) in material compliance with applicable Laws and (d) with substantially the same priority under comparable circumstances as the Service Provider previously provided such services (it being understood, however, that in the event of any shortfall of capacity or resources to deliver the services, as between Service Provider and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Service Recipient, on the other hand, provision or usage shall be reduced or allocated in a manner proportionate to the historical allocation of such provision or usage existing immediately prior to the applicable shortfall); and (ii) comply in all material

respects with any applicable standards, procedures, policies, operating guidelines, practices and instructions specifically set forth in the Exhibits describing the relevant Services. In the event of a conflict between 1.5(a)(i) and 1.5(a)(ii), the standards of 1.5(a)(ii) shall govern. For any work performed on the premises of Service Recipient, Service Provider will use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the security, confidentiality, safety and health policies of Service Recipient, if any, to the extent the Service Recipient provides the Service Provider with such policies, in writing, in a reasonable period of time prior to the commencement of such Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement if a Party to a Services Agreement fails to meet the standards required under this Section 1.5 because of the failure of the other Party to such Services Agreement to cooperate with or provide information or services to such Party as required under such Services Agreement.

Section 1.6 Right to Decline Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Services Agreement, a Service Provider may decline to provide all or any part of any particular Services if it reasonably believes that the performance of its obligations relating thereto would violate any applicable law, regulation, judicial or administrative ruling or decision applicable to its business, but only (a) to the extent reasonably necessary for such Party to ensure compliance therewith, (b) after such Party has applied commercially reasonable efforts to reduce the amount and/or effect of any such restrictions and (c) after such Party has delivered written notice to the Service Recipient specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the applicable restrictions and of any proposed resulting modification in such Party’s obligations.

Section 1.7 Compensation and Other Payments.

(a) Each Service Recipient under a Services Agreement agrees to pay the Service Provider under such Services Agreement (or, if the Service Provider so directs, to an Affiliate of the Service Provider) in accordance with Section 1.8, an amount equal to the amounts set forth in the relevant Services Agreement (the “Service Recipient Payables”).

(b) Each Service Recipient shall reimburse the Service Provider for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Service Provider or any of its Affiliates in connection with providing the applicable Services (including reasonable travel-related expenses) to the extent that such costs and expenses are not already included in the Service Recipient Payables for such Services; provided, however, that any such cost or expense not consistent with historical practice between the Parties for any Service (including business travel and related expenses) shall require advance approval of the Service Recipient. To the extent not included in the Service Recipient Payables relating to any Services, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Service Provider will be billed in the month after they are incurred.

Section 1.8 Billing and Payment Terms.

(a) The Parties under this Agreement or a Services Agreement (or, if applicable, their respective Affiliates) agree to pay the applicable payee Party, or if such payee Party so directs, an Affiliate of such payee Party, in accordance with, and subject to, the billing and payment terms set forth in this Agreement or such Services Agreement, as applicable. The

Parties agree that payments will be billed in advance on a monthly schedule, as set forth in this Section 1.8(a), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties. The initial invoices under this Agreement or the applicable Services Agreements will be delivered by each payee Party to each payor Party on July 1, 2013 and will be due and payable by the payor Party July 15, 2013. Thereafter, on the fifteenth (15^th) of each month following the Effective Date, or the effective date of an applicable Services Agreement, each payee Party to this Agreement or such Services Agreement, as applicable, shall provide each applicable payor Party to this Agreement or such Services Agreement, as applicable, with invoices detailing the charges for all amounts due by such payor Party to such payee Party under this Agreement or such Services Agreement, as applicable, (where practicable, the Parties shall provide a single invoice that includes the amounts due under all Services Agreements) and each Party shall pay such invoices by the fifteenth (15^th) day of each month following the receipt of such invoice. Except as set forth in any Exhibit or agreed in writing by the Parties, the Parties shall net each monthly invoice against each other and the Party with the outstanding payment balance shall pay or cause to be paid any amounts owed as a result of such netting. Amounts not paid in accordance with this Section 1.8(a) within thirty (30) days after receipt of such invoice shall accumulate interest at a rate per annum equal to the then applicable Prime Rate plus four percent (4%) (or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower) (such rate being referred to herein as the “Interest Rate”). Upon the termination of the Services, the payee Party will invoice the payor Party for Services incurred or other applicable charges since the last invoice in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement or the applicable Services Agreement.

(b) Each applicable payor Party shall promptly notify the applicable payee Party in writing of any amounts billed to it that are in dispute; provided, that no such dispute and notice shall relieve such payor Party from paying, nor may such payor Party withhold, any amounts owed to the payee Party pursuant to Section 1.8(a); except that the payor Party may withhold payments for third party pass-through charges, solely to the extent permitted by the applicable third-party agreement, upon notice to the payee Party (similarly, the payee Party shall continue to perform its obligations that are in dispute (including the provision of Services), pursuant to Section 9.7). Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable payee Party will research the items in question in a reasonably prompt manner and cooperate to resolve any differences with such payor Party. In the event that the relevant Parties mutually agree that any amount that was paid by such payor Party was not properly owed, the payee Party will refund that amount plus interest (accumulating from the original due date for such amount at the Interest Rate) to such payor Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice (or, alternatively, the payee Party may deduct the dollar amount from the next invoice submitted to such payor Party). In the event agreement is not reached by the relevant Parties within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice referred to above, the matter shall be referred to resolution in accordance with Section 9.7.

Section 1.9 Interruption of Services.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, each Service Provider will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide uninterrupted Services to the Service Recipient through the Term. In the event, however, that any such Service Provider, or its respective suppliers or subcontractors are wholly or partially prevented from providing a Service or Services to a Service Recipient or if a Service or Services are interrupted or suspended, in either

case by reason of any force majeure event set forth in Section 9.1, or the Service Provider shall deem it reasonably necessary to suspend delivery of a Service hereunder for purposes of maintenance, repair or replacement of equipment parts or structures, the Service Provider shall not be obligated to deliver such Service during such periods; provided, that the Service Provider: (i) has given, whenever possible, reasonable written notice of the interruption in accordance with Section 9.6 within a reasonable period of time, explaining the reason, purpose and likely duration thereof; and (ii) used commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the duration and impact of the interruption. If such interruption of Services has a more than minimal negative impact on any material aspect of a Service Recipient’s business and the applicable Service Provider cannot readily and materially reinstate the Service involved, such Service Provider will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist any such Service Recipient in securing alternative services to try to minimize such negative impact on such Service Recipient.

(b) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party under a Services Agreement of any event or circumstance of which such Party or any of its representatives has knowledge that would or would be reasonably likely to cause a disruption in any Services under such Services Agreement.

Section 1.10 Supervision and Compensation; Staffing of Personnel. Each Service Provider shall select, employ, pay, supervise, direct and discharge all the personnel providing Services for it, which personnel will be instructed by such Service Provider to perform Services in a timely, efficient and workmanlike manner. Each Service Provider shall be solely responsible for the payment of all benefits and any other direct and indirect compensation for such Service Provider personnel assigned to perform Services for it under this Agreement, as well as such personnel’s worker’s compensation insurance, employment taxes, and other employer liabilities relating to such personnel as required by law.

Section 1.11 Limited Remedy and Limitation of Damages.

(a) Limited Remedy. In the event that any Service Provider materially fails to perform any Service in breach of this Agreement (including any Services Agreement), then at the Service Recipient’s request, the Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-perform such Service as soon as reasonably practicable, with the same degree of care used in correcting a failure of a similar service for itself, at no cost to the Service Recipient. The Service Provider shall have no obligation to recreate any lost or destroyed data, but will provide such data to Service Recipient to the extent the same is re-created through such re-performance of Services. Except for any such failure to perform that results in a claim for indemnification under Article VI and subject to the provisions thereof, the foregoing in this Section 1.11(a) sets forth the Service Recipient’s sole and exclusive remedy, and the Service Provider’s sole and exclusive liability and obligation, with respect to the performance (or nonperformance) of Services under any Services Agreement, except for such specific performance or other equitable remedy that may be awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) EACH SERVICE RECIPIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) EACH SERVICE PROVIDER IS NOT A COMMERCIAL PROVIDER OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREIN AND IS PROVIDING THE SERVICES AS AN ACCOMMODATION AND AT COST TO SERVICE RECIPIENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE

SEPARATION; AND (II) THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT INTENDED BY THE PARTIES TO HAVE THE APPLICABLE SERVICE PROVIDER MANAGE AND OPERATE THE REMAINCO BUSINESS OR SEPARATED BUSINESS, AS APPLICABLE, IN LIEU OF THE APPLICABLE SERVICE RECIPIENT. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN ANY CLAIM MADE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE II

MUTUAL OBLIGATIONS; COVENANTS

Section 2.1 Providing Periodic Reports. Each Party, in its capacity as Service Provider, will provide (or cause an Affiliate of such Party to provide), upon reasonable written notice, such periodic reports with respect to the Services it provides under a Services Agreement as is reasonably requested by a Service Recipient receiving such Services, including such reports as are specified in the relevant Exhibits.

Section 2.2 Means of Providing Services. With respect to any particular Service to be provided under a Services Agreement, the Service Provider, shall, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or the Exhibits, determine the means and resources used to provide such Service in accordance with its prudent business judgments.

Section 2.3 Consents; Further Assurances.

(a) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all third party consents, licenses and other agreements necessary for the provision of the Services. In the event that any consent, license or other agreement under this Section 2.3 cannot be obtained despite the Parties’ commercially reasonable efforts, then (i) the Party first ascertaining that such consent, license or other agreement will not be granted by the applicable third party shall immediately notify all other affected Parties, and the Service Provider shall as soon as practicable notify the Service Recipient in reasonable detail the nature of the applicable exposure and of any proposed resulting modification in the Services, (ii) the Parties shall cooperate and assist the affected Service Recipients in obtaining alternative arrangements, (iii) the Service Provider shall continue to provide the Services to the extent reasonably practicable under such circumstances, and (iv) the affected Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce the amount and/or effect of disruption caused by any such failure to obtain such consent, license or other agreement.

(b) Each Party shall execute and deliver such further documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested of it by the other Party in order to effect or enable the provision of the Services contemplated hereunder. In addition, each Party shall cause its Affiliates who provide Services pursuant to any Exhibits, to perform their obligations in accordance with this Agreement and the Exhibits, including, all payment obligations hereunder and thereunder, and shall remain liable for the failure of its Affiliates to so perform.

Section 2.4 Cooperation. During the Term, the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates and each of the foregoing entities’ respective agents, auditors

and representatives to, cooperate with each other in good faith (i) in the performance of the Services and the Parties’ respective obligations under this Agreement, (ii) to facilitate an orderly and efficient transition of services, processes and functions that were shared by the Parties and their respective Affiliates prior to the Separation, in each case in a manner consistent with the intent of this Agreement and without undue burden on any Party, (iii) to provide knowledge transfer regarding the Remainco Business or the Separated Business, as applicable, including with respect to tax and regulatory matters and historical journal entries and (iv) to reasonably assist the other Party in the orderly and efficient transition in becoming an independent company; in each case, except as may otherwise be agreed to by the Parties in writing or expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, at no additional cost to the Party requesting such assistance other than for the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by any such Party, if applicable. The cooperation and assistance provided for in this Section 2.4 shall not be required to the extent such cooperation and assistance would result in an undue burden on any Party or would unreasonably interfere with the operation of any Party’s business or with any Party’s employees’ normal functions and duties.

ARTICLE III

TAX MATTERS

Section 3.1 Service Taxes. Each Party in its capacity as Service Recipient shall pay or cause to be paid all sales, service, valued added, use, excise, occupation, and other similar taxes and duties (together in each case with all interest, penalties, fines and additions thereto) that are assessed against the relevant Parties on the provision of Services as a whole, or any particular Service (including with respect to amounts paid by the Service Provider to third parties), including Additional Services, received by any applicable Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates from any Service Provider or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (collectively, “Service Taxes”). If required under applicable law (or, in the case of Service Taxes relating to amounts paid by the Service Provider to third parties), each Service Provider shall invoice the Service Recipient for the full amount of all Service Taxes, and such Service Recipient shall pay, in addition to the other amounts required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Service Taxes to such Service Provider

Section 3.2 Limitation of Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in a Services Agreement, each Service Provider shall not be liable for any claim in respect of Services relating to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates, except to the extent that such claim arises from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Service Provider.

ARTICLE IV

ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND PERSONNEL

Section 4.1 Access to Information. Subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Article V below and any other restrictions contained in this Agreement, each Party shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, provide, upon written request, any information within such Party’s, or their respective Affiliates’, possession, and access to such Party’s relevant

management and employees, that the requesting Party reasonably needs in connection with Services being provided by or to such requesting Party (i) to comply with requirements imposed on the requesting Party by a governmental authority; (ii) for use by such requesting Party in any proceeding or to satisfy audit, accounting, tax or similar requirements; or (iii) to comply with such requesting Party’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 4.2 Privilege. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services have been and will be provided prior to and following the Effective Date that were or will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the Parties to this Agreement. The Parties agree that their respective rights with respect to all privileged information in connection with such services shall be governed by Section 6.08 of the Separation Agreement.

ARTICLE V

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 5.1 Confidential Information.

(a) Each Party may from time to time disclose Confidential Information to another Party (both orally and in writing) to the extent necessary to carry out their obligations or exercise their rights under this Agreement and the Exhibits, including with respect to Services.

(b) Each receiving Party agrees to treat all Confidential Information provided by any disclosing Party pursuant to this Agreement and any Exhibits as proprietary and confidential to the disclosing Party, and the receiving Party shall not (without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party) disclose or permit disclosure of such Confidential Information to any third party; provided, that the receiving Party may disclose, on a need-to-know basis, such Confidential Information to (i) its Third Party Providers or to its Affiliates who are subject to non-disclosure obligations in favor of the receiving Party and/or (ii) its current employees, officers, or directors, or legal representatives. The receiving Party shall use the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information solely for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement and the Exhibits.

(c) Notwithstanding this Section 5.1, the Parties acknowledge and agree that information shall not be deemed Confidential Information, and the receiving Party shall have no confidentiality, non-use or nondisclosure obligation with respect to any such information to the extent that it: (i) is or becomes available to the general public, other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, third-party contractors, vendors, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives in breach of this Agreement; (ii) was available to such Party or its Affiliates or becomes available to such Party or its Affiliates, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other Party or its Affiliates hereto, provided, that, the source of such Information was not bound by a confidentiality obligation with respect to such Information, or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the Information to such Party or its Affiliates by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation; or (iii) is independently generated by such Party without use of or reference to any proprietary or confidential Information of the other Party. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that Confidential Information may be disclosed pursuant to the lawful

requirement or order of a court or governmental agency; provided, that upon the receiving Party’s request for such a disclosure, the receiving Party gives prompt written notice thereof to the disclosing Party (unless such notice is not possible under the circumstances, and in such event, such notice shall be provided as promptly as possible thereafter) so that the disclosing Party may have the opportunity to intervene and contest such disclosure and/or seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.

(d) All Confidential Information transmitted or disclosed hereunder will be and remain the property of the disclosing Party, and the receiving Party shall (at the disclosing Party’s election) promptly destroy or return to the disclosing Party, as directed by the disclosing Party, any and all copies thereof upon termination or expiration of this Agreement and/or the applicable Exhibit, or upon the written request of the disclosing Party, to the extent such destruction or return does not affect the ability of the receiving Party to perform any Services required hereunder; except, that the receiving Party is not obligated to return or destroy copies of Confidential Information that are required to be maintained by applicable law or regulation or such Party’s bona fide business management policies as in effect as of the date such request for return or destruction is received. Upon the request of the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall certify any such destruction in writing.

Section 5.2 Ownership of Assets.

(a) License to Service Provider. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Third Party Provider agreements pursuant to which Service Recipient or its Affiliates obtain rights to Intellectual Property or data, Service Recipient hereby grants, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, to Service Provider and its Affiliates, a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable (other than to Third Party Providers, but solely to enable such Third Party Providers to provide such Services), non-transferable (except as set forth herein), royalty-free, worldwide license, during the Term, to use and otherwise exploit (including the right to make derivative works thereof) such Intellectual Property and data that is owned or licensed from third parties by Service Recipient or its Affiliates and reasonably necessary for performance of the Services (or any other obligations under this Agreement) by Service Provider, its Affiliates or Third Party Providers, solely for the purpose of performing the Services (or any other obligations under this Agreement).

(b) License to Service Recipient. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable third party agreements pursuant to which Service Provider or its Affiliates obtain rights to Intellectual Property or data, Service Provider hereby grants, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, to Service Recipient and its Affiliates, a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable (other than to third parties for use on Service Recipient’s or its Affiliates’ behalf), non-transferable (except as set forth herein), royalty-free, worldwide license to use and otherwise exploit (including the right to make derivative works thereof) such Intellectual Property and data that is owned or licensed from third parties by Service Recipient or its Affiliates and reasonably necessary for receipt or use of the Services or the results thereof by Service Recipient or its Affiliates, solely for the purpose of receiving or using the Services or the results thereof in the operation of the Separated Business, with respect to New News Corporation as Service Recipient, or the Remainco Business, with respect to Remainco as Service Recipient.

(c) Ownership of Data and Intellectual Property. Except for the licenses granted pursuant to Sections 5.2(a) and (b) and except as set forth in the subsequent sentences in this Section 5.2(c), as between Service Provider and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Service Recipient and its Affiliates, on the other hand, each Party and its Affiliates shall retain and shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to its Intellectual Property used in connection with the Services, including, with respect to Service Provider and its Affiliates, any Intellectual Property created by Service Provider, its Affiliates or any Third Party Provider in providing the Services, and no implied licenses of any kind are granted by either Party in connection herewith.
