Except as otherwise provided in a Transition Service Schedule in respect of a specific Service, each Party will not be entitled to any new service.

Section 3.03. Impracticability.

ARTICLE VI

COMPENSATION

Section 6.01. Charges for Services. The Service Recipient shall pay the Service Provider the charges, if any, set forth on the Transition Service Schedules for each of the Services listed therein as adjusted, from time to time, in accordance with the processes and procedures established under Section 7.01 hereof, or, if no such charges are specifically indicated otherwise on a Transition Service Schedule, the Fair Market Value of the Services. If there is any inconsistency between the Transition Service Schedule and this Section 6.01, the terms of the Transition Service Schedule shall govern. The Parties also intend, having regard to the reciprocal and transitional nature of this Agreement and other factors, for charges to be easy to administer and justify; and, therefore, they hereby acknowledge that it may be counterproductive to try to recover every cost, charge or expense, particularly those that are insignificant or de minimis.

Section 6.02. Payment Terms. Except as otherwise specified in a Transition Service Schedule, the Service Provider shall invoice the Service Recipient monthly (or on such other basis as the Parties may mutually determine) for all charges pursuant to this Agreement. Such invoices shall specify the Services provided to the Service Recipient during the preceding month and identifying the Service fee applicable to each Service so specified, and shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanations supporting such

charges. Except as otherwise specified in a Transition Service Schedule, the Service Recipient shall pay, net of applicable withholding tax, if any, the Service Provider for all Services provided hereunder within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Service Provider for this purpose. Late payments shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 2.0%, calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from and excluding the date on which such payment was due up to and including the date of payment.

Section 6.03. Taxes. The fees and charges payable by the Service Recipient under this Agreement and set forth on the Transition Service Schedules shall be exclusive of any Sales Taxes or excise taxes or any customs or import charges or duties or any similar charges or duties which may be imposed by any Governmental Authority in connection with the purchase or delivery of the Services or materials to the Service Recipient. The Service Recipient shall remit to the Service Provider any Sales Taxes properly payable to the Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement. Applicable Sales Taxes shall be indicated by the Service Provider separately on all of the Service Provider’s invoices. The Parties shall co-operate with each other to minimize any applicable Sales Taxes and each shall provide the other with any reasonable certificates or documents which are useful for such purpose.

Section 6.04. Performance under Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Service Recipient shall not be charged under this Agreement for any obligations that are specifically required to be performed under the Separation Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement; and any such other obligations shall be performed and charged for (if applicable) in accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement or such other Ancillary Agreement.

Section 6.05. Error Correction; True-up; Accounting. The Parties shall agree to develop, through the Operating Committee or otherwise, mutually acceptable reasonable processes and procedures for conducting internal audits and making adjustments to charges as a result of the movement of employees and functions between the Parties, the discovery of errors or omissions in charges, as well as a true-up of amounts owed. In no event shall such processes and procedures extend beyond eighteen (18) months after completion of a Service.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL OBLIGATIONS

Section 7.01. Performance Metrics. Subject to Sections 3.02 to 3.04 and any other terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall maintain, and shall cause the relevant other members of its respective Group to maintain, sufficient resources to perform their obligations hereunder. Specific performance metrics for each Party for a specific Service may be set forth in the corresponding Transition Service Schedule. Where none is set forth, each Party and the other relevant members of its respective Group shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide Services, or to cause the Services to be provided, in accordance with the policies, procedures, service levels and practices in effect before the Distribution Date and shall exercise the same care and skill as each Party exercises in performing similar services for itself or for the other members of its respective Group. To the extent within the possession and control of a Service Recipient, such Service Recipient shall provide, and shall cause the other relevant

members of its respective Group to provide, the Service Provider with information and documentation sufficient for the Service Provider and the other relevant members of its respective Group to perform the Services they are obligated to perform hereunder as they were performed before the Distribution Date and shall make available, as reasonably requested by the Service Provider, sufficient resources and timely decisions, approvals and acceptances in order that the Service Provider may perform its obligations hereunder in a timely manner.

Section 7.02. Disclaimer of Warranties. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Party makes any warranties or conditions, express, implied, conventional or statutory, including but not limited to, the implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, of quality or fitness for a particular purpose, with respect to the Services or other items or deliverables provided by it or any other member of its respective Group hereunder or any transactions contemplated herein.

Section 7.03. Transitional Nature of Services; Changes. The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and that a Service Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if the Service Provider is making similar changes in performing similar services for itself and if the Service Provider provides to the Service Recipient reasonable notice of the circumstances regarding such changes.

Section 7.04. Responsibilities for Errors; Changes. Except as set forth in Article XIV and in the case of Service Provider’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, the Service Provider’s sole responsibility to the Service Recipient:

(a) for material errors or omissions in Services, shall be to furnish correct information, payment and/or adjustment in the Services, at no additional cost or expense to the Service Recipient; provided that the Service Provider must promptly advise the Service Recipient of any such material error or omission of which it becomes aware; and

(b) for failure to deliver any Service because of Impracticability, shall be to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, subject to Section 3.03, to make the Services available or to resume performing the Services as promptly as reasonably practicable.

Section 7.05. Cooperation and Consents. The Parties shall, and shall cause the other relevant members of their respective Groups to, cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of Services. Such cooperation shall include exchanging information, performing true-ups and adjustments, and obtaining all Third Party Consents, licenses or sublicenses necessary to permit each Party to perform its obligations hereunder (including by way of example, not by way of limitation, rights to use Third Party software needed for the performance of Services). Pursuant to Section 11.03, the costs of obtaining such Third Party Consents, licenses or sublicenses shall be borne by the Service Recipient. The Parties shall maintain, and shall cause the other relevant members of their respective Groups to maintain, in accordance with its standard document retention procedures, documentation supporting the information relevant to cost calculations contained in the Transition Service Schedules.

With respect to those Services that, in the reasonable opinion of a Service Recipient, relate to matters of internal control over financial reporting and with respect to which such Service Recipient reasonably believes testing of certain key controls maintained by the Service Provider is necessary in order to permit such Service Recipient’s management to perform an adequate assessment of internal control over financial reporting (and to permit its auditors or internal auditors to audit its internal control over financial reporting), upon request by such Service Recipient no later than sixty (60) days before the end of a calendar year where such management assessment and related audit of its internal control over financial reporting is actually required for SEC reporting, the Service Provider and such Service Recipient shall jointly identify key controls over financial reporting maintained by the Service Provider. The Service Provider will provide such Service Recipient’s external and internal auditors access to information, systems and those individuals responsible for execution of any key controls maintained by the Service Provider so as to enable the independent auditors or internal auditors to determine such controls over the practices and procedures relating to the Service Provider’s performance of such Services under this Agreement are in effect. The Service Provider will, and will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause its external and internal auditors to, provide information to such Service Recipient and the Service Recipient’s external and internal auditors in order to allow such Service Recipient or the Service Recipient’s internal and external auditors to perform procedures with respect to key controls which must be tested as part of such Service Recipient’s management assessment process and required by generally accepted auditing standards, including, without limitation, PCAOB auditing standards, and by Section 404 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated and guidance issued thereunder. All expenditures incurred by a Service Provider in performing its obligations under this paragraph shall be payable by the Service Recipient.

Section 7.06. Alternatives. If the Service Provider reasonably believes it is unable to provide any Service because of a failure to obtain necessary Consents, licenses or sublicenses pursuant to Section 7.05 or because of Impracticability, the Parties shall reasonably and in good faith cooperate to determine the best alternative approach. Until such alternative approach is found or the problem otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Parties, the Service Provider shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts subject to Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 3.04, to continue providing the Service. To the extent an agreed upon alternative approach requires the occurrence of costs or expenditures above and beyond that which is included in the Service Provider’s charge for the Service in question, such additional costs and expenditures shall be discussed between the Parties and, unless otherwise agreed, be borne by the Service Recipient.

Section 7.07. Personnel.

(a) Right to designate and change personnel. The Service Provider will have the right to designate which personnel it will assign to perform the Services. The Service Provider also will have the right to remove and replace any such personnel at any time or designate any of its Affiliates or a Subcontractor at any time to perform the Services, subject to the provisions of Article X; provided, however, that the Service Provider will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to limit the disruption to the Service Recipient in the transition of the Services to different personnel or to a Subcontractor. In the event that personnel with the designated level of experience are not then employed by the Service Provider, the Service

Provider will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide such personnel or Subcontractor personnel having an adequate level of experience; provided, however, that the Service Provider will have no obligation to retain any individual employee for the sole purpose of providing the applicable Services.

(b) Financial Responsibility. The Service Provider will pay for all personnel expenses, including wages, of its employees performing the Services.

(c) Service Managers and Chief Representatives. During the Term of this Agreement, each Party will appoint (i) one of its employees (the “Service Manager”) who will have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the delivery of the Services and who shall serve as such Party’s representative on the Operating Committee and (ii) one of its employees for each service as indicated in each Transition Service Schedule (the “Chief Representative”). The Service Manager and the Chief Representatives will coordinate and consult with the Service Recipient. The Service Provider may, at its discretion, select other individuals to serve in these capacities during the Term of this Agreement upon providing notice to the other Party. For greater certainty, a Chief Representative may serve as such in respect of one or more Transition Service Schedules.

Section 7.08. Insurance. Each Party shall obtain and maintain at its own expense insurance of the type generally maintained in the ordinary course of its business. Except as otherwise specified in a Transition Service Schedule, the Service Provider shall not be required to obtain and maintain any particular insurance in relation to providing any Service.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

Section 8.01. Termination. The Service Recipient may terminate any Service, with or without cause, at any time upon at least sixty (60) days prior notice to the Service Provider. As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of any such notice, the Service Provider shall advise the Service Recipient as to whether termination of such Service will (a) require the termination or partial termination of, or otherwise affect the provision of, certain other Services, or (b) result in any early termination costs, including those related to Subcontractors. In the event that such termination is expected by the Service Provider to result in any early termination costs, the Service Provider will provide to the Service Recipient such information as it has reasonably available regarding the estimated amount of such costs, which in the case of a Subcontractor may be based upon information provided by such Subcontractor. Any early termination costs shall be borne by the Service Recipient as set forth in Section 8.03. If either will be the case, the Service Recipient may withdraw its termination notice within five (5) Business Days. If the Service Recipient does not withdraw the termination notice within such period, such termination will occur in accordance with the original notice.

In addition, the Parties agree that either Party may terminate this Agreement (and the corresponding Transition Service Schedule) with respect to a specific Service upon providing notice to the other Party in the event that an Event of Default occurs in relation to such other Party, and such termination shall take effect immediately upon the non-defaulting Party providing such notice to the other (except as otherwise specified in clause (d) below).

For the purposes of this Agreement, each of the following shall individually and collectively constitute an “Event of Default”:

(a) in relation to the Service Recipient, if the Service Recipient defaults in payment to the Service Provider of any payments which are due and payable by it to the Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement, and such default is not cured within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Service Recipient of notice of such default;

(b) in relation to the Service Provider, if the Service Provider defaults in payment to the Service Recipient of any payments which are due and payable by it to the Service Recipient pursuant to this Agreement (if any), and such default is not cured within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Service Provider of notice of such default;

(c) either Party breaches any of its material obligations to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement (other than as set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) above), and fails to cure it within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the non-defaulting Party specifying the default in reasonable detail and demanding that it be rectified, provided that if such breach is not capable of being cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice and the Party in default has diligently pursued efforts to cure the default within the thirty (30) day period, no Event of Default under this paragraph (c) shall occur;

(d) either Party (i) is bankrupt or insolvent or takes the benefit of any statute in force for bankrupt or insolvent debtors, or (ii) files a proposal or takes any action or proceeding before any court of competent jurisdiction for its dissolution, winding-up or liquidation, or for the liquidation of its assets, or a receiver is appointed in respect of its assets, which order, filing or appointment is not rescinded within sixty (60) days.

Section 8.02. Survival. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any termination or expiration with respect to one or more Services, but less than all Services, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any Services not terminated or expired.

Section 8.03. Payment. Immediately following the Expiration Date, the Service Provider shall cease, or cause the other members of the Group to which it belongs, or its Subcontractors to cease, providing the Services, and the Service Recipient shall promptly pay or cause the other members of the Group to which it belongs, to promptly pay all fees accrued pursuant to Article VI but unpaid to the Service Provider; provided, however, that in case of earlier termination without cause, the Service Recipient shall in accordance with Section 8.01 above reimburse the Service Provider only to the extent of the reasonable termination costs actually incurred by the Service Provider resulting from the Service Recipient’s early termination of such Services, including those owed to Subcontractors. The Service Provider will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate any such termination costs.

Section 8.04. User ID; Passwords. The Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement or of any specific Service hereto to ensure that access by one Party to the other Party’s systems is cancelled.
