WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, effective as of the Closing, the Parties wish to terminate the Management Agreement and take certain other actions, in each case as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

For the avoidance of doubt, Manager, CLNC and CLNC OP hereby agree and irrevocably consent to the termination of the Management Agreement as set forth in and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.01.

The date on which the Closing occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date”.

required by such Person in connection with any insurance claims by, legal proceedings or tax audits against, investigations of Governmental Authorities of, compliance with Law by, the preparation of financial statements of, or any other reasonable business need of such Party or any of its Affiliates. In the event that a Party intends to destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any such books and records following the expiration of such seven-year period, such Party must first provide reasonable prior notice of such intended destruction to the other Parties, and provide such other Parties the opportunity to instead retrieve and/or copy such books and records.

Section 4.02 Conduct of Business. Between the date hereof and the earlier of the date this Agreement is terminated and the Closing Date, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the Business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing Date, except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement or consented to in writing by CLNC (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Manager shall not and shall cause its Affiliates to not, without the prior written consent of CLNC:

(a) sell, license, transfer or assign its rights or obligations under the Management Agreement (or make or solicit any offers with respect thereto);

(b) create or incur any Encumbrance on the Management Agreement or any Assigned Assets;

(c) (i) enter into, terminate, or make any material change to, any agreement with any Employee, (ii) increase the compensation or benefits payable to any Employee, including, but not limited to, any severance, retention, incentive, termination or change-in-control pay, or make any commitment or agreement to do any of the foregoing, or (iii) terminate the employment of any Employee other than for cause;

(d) enter into agreements, arrangements or understandings between Manager, CCIA, and their respective Affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, or employees on the one hand and CLNC, CLNC OP and their respective Affiliates on the other hand, other than in the ordinary course of business on arms’ length terms and that will terminate at or prior to the Closing; or

(e) agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

Section 4.03 Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, CLNC shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of CLNC to, offer to each of the employees of Manager and/or any of its Affiliates who, as of the date of this Agreement, are primarily engaged in providing services under the Management Agreement, whose names are set forth on Section 4.03(a) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Employees”) a position of employment or the opportunity to be employed by CLNC (or an Affiliate thereof), on substantially similar economic terms with regard to the sum of each such Transferred Employee’s current base salary, target cash bonus and target equity award, each as in effect on the date of this Agreement, provided that the form in which such compensation is paid does not need to be the same that the Transferred Employee currently receives from Manager or its Affiliate (such economic terms, the “Total Target Direct

Compensation Opportunity”), with such employment to be effective as of the Closing Date, and Manager or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall terminate the employment of each such Employee effective as of 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the date immediately preceding the Closing Date. Those Employees who accept employment offers from CLNC or an Affiliate of CLNC, as applicable, and commence employment with CLNC or an Affiliate of CLNC shall hereafter be referred to as “Transferred Employees.”

(b) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date which is twelve (12) months from the Closing (or if earlier, the date of the Transferred Employee’s termination of employment with CLNC or an Affiliate of CLNC), CLNC shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of CLNC to, maintain, for each Transferred Employee, (i) their respective Total Target Direct Compensation Opportunity (which shall include base salary or hourly wages which are no less than the base salary or hourly wages provided by Manager as of the date of this Agreement and previously provided to CLNC) and (ii) employee group health insurance benefits and defined contribution retirement plan benefits opportunities that are, in the aggregate, substantially similar to those provided to the Employees immediately prior to the Closing. During such twelve-month period following the Closing, no Transferred Employee shall be required to relocate more than twenty-five (25) miles from such Transferred Employee’s employment location as of the Closing.

(c) CLNC shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, give each Transferred Employee full credit for such Transferred Employee’s service with Manager or its Affiliates (and predecessors, as applicable) prior to the Closing for eligibility and vesting purposes and for purposes of vacation accrual and severance benefit determinations under any benefit plans established or maintained by CLNC or its Affiliates in which the Transferred Employee participates following the Closing to the same extent recognized by CLNC or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing under a comparable Benefit Plan in which the Transferred Employee participated; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized (i) for purposes of benefits accrual under any defined benefit pension plans or retiree health or welfare plan or arrangement or (ii) to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of coverage or benefits with respect to the same period of service. CLNC shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations otherwise applicable to Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents under any plan maintained by CLNC or its Affiliates that provides health benefits in which Transferred Employees may be eligible to participate following the Closing; (ii) honor any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by a Transferred Employee and his or her eligible dependents under the health plans in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing during the portion of the plan year prior to the Closing in satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under health plans maintained by CLNC or its Affiliates in which such Transferred Employee is eligible to participate after the Closing in the same plan year in which such deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums were incurred; and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Transferred Employee and his or her eligible dependents on or after the Closing, except to the extent such waiting period or requirement would have been applicable under a comparable Benefit Plan in which the Transferred Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing.

(d) Effective as of the Closing, except as may otherwise be agreed between the parties under the Transition Services Agreement, the Transferred Employees shall cease active participation in the Benefit Plans. Manager shall remain liable for all eligible claims for benefits under the Benefit Plans that are incurred by the Transferred Employees prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the following claims shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (i) life, accidental death and dismemberment, short-term disability, and workers’ compensation insurance benefits, on the event giving rise to such benefits; (ii) medical, vision, dental, and prescription drug benefits, on the date the applicable services, materials or supplies were provided; and (iii) long-term disability benefits, on the eligibility date determined by the long-term disability insurance carrier for the plan in which the applicable Transferred Employee participates.

(e) This Section 4.03 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 4.03, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 4.03. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, including any Benefit Plan. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 4.03 shall not create any right in any Transferred Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with CLNC or any of its Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

Section 4.04 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by CLNC when due. CLNC shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Manager shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

Section 4.05 Allocation. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, CLNC shall deliver to Manager (i) an allocation of the Personal Property Purchase Price and a portion of the Termination Fee (and any other amounts treated as consideration for assets for applicable Tax purposes) among any assets that, for U.S. income Tax purposes, are treated as assets purchased by CLNC (or its relevant Affiliates) and (ii) an allocation setting forth a portion of the Termination Fee that will be treated for tax purposes as allocable to the services to be provided by an Affiliate of Manager to an Affiliate of CLNC pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, each determined in a manner consistent with applicable Tax Law (“CLNC’s Allocation Statement”). If Manager disagrees with CLNC’s Allocation Statement, Manager may, within ten (10) days after delivery of CLNC’s Allocation Statement, deliver a written notice together with reasonable supporting documentation (the “Manager Allocation Notice”) to CLNC to such effect, specifying those items as to which Manager disagrees and setting forth Manager’s proposed allocations. If the Manager Allocation Notice is timely delivered, CLNC and Manager shall, during the five (5) days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocations. If CLNC and Manager are unable to reach such agreement within five (5) days following delivery of the Manager Allocation Notice, they shall promptly thereafter engage a nationally recognized third-party accounting firm mutually acceptable to both CLNC and Manager (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to resolve any remaining disputes within the following five (5) days. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accounting Firm

pursuant to this Section 4.05. shall be borne equally by CLNC and Manager. The allocations, as prepared by CLNC if no Manager Allocation Notice has been timely delivered, as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between CLNC and Manager, or as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (the “Allocations”), shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties absent manifest error. Neither CLNC nor Manager shall (and both CLNC and Manager shall cause their respective Affiliates not to) take any position inconsistent with the Allocations on any Tax return. in any Tax proceeding or otherwise, in each case, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law).

Section 4.06 Public Announcements. The Parties shall mutually agree in writing as to the timing and contents of any public announcement or other public communications in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, for the avoidance of doubt, a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement (with each Party to consider the other Parties’ comments with respect to such press release and any other public announcement or public communications in good faith); provided, that this provision shall not limit any Party’s disclosure obligations as required by (i) applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any filings pursuant to the Exchange Act) or (ii) the rules and regulations of any exchange on which such Party’s or its Affiliates’ securities are traded or listed (in either case, based upon the reasonable advice of counsel). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.06 shall not apply to any press release or other public communication to the extent it is substantially consistent with any press release, public announcement or public communication previously issued or disclosed in accordance with this Section 4.06.

Section 4.07 Efforts to Consummate. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any order, decree, ruling, judgment, injunction or other action (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is then in effect and that enjoins, restrains, conditions, makes illegal or otherwise restricts or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided that such efforts on the part of each Party shall not require agreeing to any obligations or accommodations (financial or otherwise) binding on such Party in the event the Closing does not occur. The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in this Section 4.07 shall limit, expand or otherwise modify in any way any efforts standard explicitly applicable to any Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Each Party to this Agreement shall reasonably cooperate in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. The Parties each agree to promptly notify the other Parties of the existence of any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of the other Parties to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied.

Section 4.08 Indemnification of Manager. From and after the Closing, CLNC OP shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Manager and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (“Manager Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and pay on behalf of or reimburse such Manager Indemnified Parties for, any Loss which any such Manager Indemnified Party actually suffers, sustains or incurs, to the extent based on or arising out of, in whole or in

part, the Assumed Liabilities or a Proceeding brought or threatened to be brought by a third-party unaffiliated with CLNC, Colony OP or their respective Affiliates, which primarily relates to the operation of the Business following the Closing to which a Manager Indemnified Party is made or threatened to be made a party by virtue of its having provided investment advisory services to CLNC and CLNC OP pursuant to the Management Agreement prior to the Termination.

Section 4.09 Intercompany Agreements. Except with respect to the agreements, arrangements and understandings set forth in Section 4.09 of the Disclosure Schedules and the Transaction Documents, the Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to terminate at or as promptly as possible after Closing all agreements, arrangements and understandings between Colony OP, CCIA and their respective Affiliates and its and their directors, officers and employees on the one hand and CLNC, CLNC OP and their respective Affiliates on the other hand.

Section 4.10 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the Parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 4.11 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) From the Closing Date until the sixth anniversary thereof, CLNC shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable requirements under the laws of the State of Maryland in effect from time to time, and without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, provide indemnification to each Indemnified Person to the same extent as and under the same conditions and procedures to which such Indemnified Person is entitled on the date of this Agreement under the Governing Instruments of CLNC and its subsidiaries and as provided in employment or indemnification agreements with such Indemnified Person as in effect on the date of this Agreement in connection with any pending or threatened Proceeding based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer or person serving at the request of CLNC and its subsidiaries, or is or was serving at the request of CLNC as an officer or director of another corporation, joint venture or other enterprise or general partner of any partnership or a trustee of any trust, at or prior to the Closing and pertaining to any and all matters pending, existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, including any such matter arising under any claim with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, from the Closing Date until the sixth anniversary thereof, CLNC shall also, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable requirements under Law, advance reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with matters for which such Indemnified Persons are eligible to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.11(a) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by CLNC of a written request for such advance, subject to the execution by such Indemnified Persons of appropriate undertakings in favor of CLNC to repay such advanced costs and expenses if it is ultimately determined in a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 4.11(a).

(b) From the Closing Date until the sixth anniversary thereof, CLNC shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Governing Instruments of CLNC and its subsidiaries as in effect immediately prior to the Closing or in any indemnification contracts of CLNC or its subsidiaries with any of their respective directors, officers or employees as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, in each case in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Closing were current or former directors, officers or employees of CLNC or its subsidiaries.

(c) From the Closing Date until the sixth anniversary thereof, CLNC shall maintain in effect CLNC’s and its subsidiaries’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies covering acts or omissions occurring (or alleged to occur) at or prior to the Closing with respect to Indemnified Persons (provided that CLNC may substitute therefor policies with reputable carriers of at least substantially similar coverage containing terms, conditions and exclusions that are not less favorable to the Indemnified Persons); provided, however, that in no event shall CLNC be required to expend pursuant to this Section 4.11(c) more than an amount per year equal to 250% of current annual premiums paid by CLNC for such insurance. In the event that, but for the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, CLNC would be required to expend more than 250% of the current annual premiums, CLNC shall obtain the maximum amount of such insurance obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to 250% of current annual premiums. In lieu of the foregoing, CLNC may, at its election, purchase from a reputable carrier a six (6)-year prepaid “tail policy” of at least substantially similar coverage containing terms, conditions and exclusions that are not less favorable to the Indemnified Persons, acts or omissions occurring (or alleged to occur) at or prior to the Closing with respect to Indemnified Persons, at an aggregate cost not exceeding the aggregate maximum amount payable pursuant to the provisions above for such six (6)-year period; provided, that if the cost of such insurance coverage exceeds such maximum amount, CLNC shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such maximum amount. The provisions of this Section 4.11 shall survive the consummation of the Closing for a period of six (6) years and are expressly intended to benefit each of the Indemnified Persons; provided, however, that in the event that any claim or claims for indemnification that exist prior to the Closing or are asserted or made within such six (6)-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until disposition of any and all such claims. The provisions of this Section 4.11 are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. Unless required by applicable Law, this Section 4.11 may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Closing in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person or any of his or her heirs without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Person.

(d) In the event CLNC or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, CLNC shall ensure that proper provision is made so that the successors and assigns of CLNC assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.11. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.11 shall be deemed to provide Colony OP, CCIA or any of their respective Affiliates a consent right over such merger or other transaction.

Section 4.12 Retained Names and Marks.

(a) Each of CLNC and CLNC OP agrees and acknowledges that, except as set forth in this Section 4.12, nothing herein grants CLNC, CLNC OP or their respective Affiliates any trademark rights in any of the words, marks, corporate symbols, acronyms or logos listed on Section 4.12(a) of the Disclosure Schedules or any confusingly similar derivation thereof (collectively the “Colony Marks”). Except as set forth in this Section 4.12 or Section 4.12(b) of the Disclosure Schedules, neither CLNC nor CLNC OP shall, and CLNC and CLNC OP shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, use the Colony Marks in connection with the products or services of CLNC and its Affiliates or for any other trademark purpose following the Closing.

(b) Each of CLNC and CLNC OP acknowledges and agrees that effective as of the Closing, the Trademark License Agreements automatically terminate and will be of no further force or effect. Subject to compliance with the quality control provisions and other terms of this Section 4.12, beginning on the Closing Date and until the twelve (12)-month anniversary thereof (or such earlier date as to which CLNC provides a written notice to Manager that it will cease to use the Colony Marks) (the “Marks Transition Period”), Manager and its Affiliates hereby grant to CLNC and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Colony Marks in connection with the business of CLNC and its controlled Affiliates to the extent and in substantially the same manner as used prior to Closing (including on websites and materials such as signs, account statements, prospectuses, invoices, order forms, labels, letterheads, business cards and corporate names, registered names, fictitious or doing-business-as names or other similar applications). Notwithstanding and without limiting the foregoing, CLNC and its controlled Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize and cease use of the Colony Marks by CLNC and its Affiliates following the date hereof (and in any event prior to the expiration of the Marks Transition Period) including by (i) making filings with any Governmental Authority and take all other actions to eliminate the use of the term “Colony,” either alone or in combination with other words or elements, or any confusingly similar derivation thereof, from CLNC’s and its controlled Affiliates’ respective corporate names, registered names, fictitious or doing-business-as names or other similar applications and (ii) ceasing the use of the Colony Marks in the business of CLNC and its Affiliates, including by removing the Colony Marks from their respective signs, account statements, prospectuses, invoices, order forms, labels, letterheads and business cards.

(c) As licensee of the Colony Marks, CLNC and its Affiliates shall: (i) maintain the quality of the goods and services with which such Colony Marks are used at least the same level of quality maintained by them prior to the Closing; (ii) comply with all applicable Laws and regulations pertaining to the goods and services with which such Colony Marks are used; (iii) use the Colony Marks in accordance with sound trademark usage principles and adhere to Manager’s reasonable instructions regarding use and appearance of the Colony Marks; (iv) upon Manager’s reasonable request, permit Manager to inspect the quality of the goods and services with which such Colony Marks are used or otherwise provide Manager confirmation that applicable quality standards are being met or exceeded, and promptly correct, any material deficiencies in quality identified by Manager, and (v) not use the Colony Marks in any manner that would detract from the goodwill associated with such Colony Marks.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, CLNC, CLNC OP and their respective Affiliates shall not be in breach of this Section 4.12, even after the ▇▇▇▇ Transition Period, by reason of any use by CLNC, CLNC OP and their respective Affiliates of the Colony Marks (i) in internal historical, tax, employment or similar records or for purposes of

disclosures as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to describe the historical relationship of the Parties, and (ii) in a manner that does not constitute a “trademark use” or that otherwise constitutes a “nominative use” under applicable Law; provided that such use does not give rise to a likelihood of confusion as to the source or origin of any goods or services or imply any endorsement by, or ongoing association with, Manager and its Affiliates.

(e) All goodwill arising from the use of the Colony Marks as described in this Section 4.12 shall inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of Manager and its Affiliates.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.12 shall restrict CLNC, CLNC OP or their respective Affiliates rights in and rights to use “CLNC” as a ▇▇▇▇, corporate symbol, acronym, logo or otherwise.

Section 4.13 Non-Solicitation. For a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, Manager agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, without CLNC’s prior written consent, solicit for employment, employ or otherwise retain any employee of CLNC or its subsidiaries (each, a “Protected Person”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms “solicit for employment” and “employ” shall not be deemed to include (a) general solicitations of employment through a public medium, such as general advertisements, not specifically directed towards or targeting the Protected Persons, (b) solicitations conducted through a recruiting or search firm retained by the Manager or its Affiliates, which recruiting or search firm was not directly or indirectly instructed by Manager or its Affiliates to target Protected Persons, and (c) any solicitation or hiring of any Protected Person who has been terminated by CLNC or its Affiliates (provided that any such solicitation of such Protected Person has not occurred prior to such termination). Manager acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to any damages, CLNC may be entitled to equitable relief for any violation of this Section 4.13 by Manager or its Affiliates, including injunctive relief.

Section 4.14 Confidentiality(a) . From and after the Closing, (i) CLNC, CLNC OP and their respective Affiliates shall be permitted to retain any information, files, documents and other materials related to Manager or its Affiliates or their respective business, which CLNC, CLNC OP and their respective Affiliates obtained prior to Closing and (ii) Manager, CCIA, Colony OP and their respective Affiliates shall be permitted to retain any information, files, documents and other materials related to CLNC and CLNC OP or their Affiliates or the Business, which Manager and its Affiliates acquired pursuant to the Management Agreement prior to Closing, in each case which are retained on e-mail platforms, in archival back-up tapes or similar storage media or otherwise retained, and which cannot be expunged without considerable efforts, provided that such materials, to the extent containing confidential information of another Party (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding confidential information to the extent of or relating to the Party retaining such confidential information, its Affiliates and their respective businesses, assets, financial condition and operations), are kept confidential and not used for the benefit of any other Person; provided, however, that the foregoing confidentiality obligations shall not apply to the extent disclosure is required to be made pursuant to applicable Law, Governmental Authority, duly authorized subpoena or court order, or to the extent disclosure is required to be included in any governmental or regulatory filings made by a Party; provided, further, that in the event that a Party or its Affiliates is so required to make such disclosure, such applicable Person shall (i) promptly notify the applicable Party thereof to the extent permitted by Law of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding the law or legal

process requiring disclosure of such information, (ii) consult with such other Party on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such disclosure obligation, (iii) if disclosure of such information is required, furnish only such portion of the information as such Person is advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed, and (iv) cooperate, at such other Party’s expense, with any action reasonably requested by such other Party in its efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the information that is required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing provisions shall not apply to the extent disclosure is necessary in order for such Party to perform its obligations pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.

It is understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 4.14, there shall be no legal requirement to disclose any confidential information solely by virtue of the fact that, absent such disclosure, a Party its Affiliates would be restricted from transacting in securities of the other Party or would be unable to file any proxy materials in compliance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder.

Section 4.15 Fees. Any accrued and payable but unpaid Base Management Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement) and Incentive Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement) payable to Manager pursuant to Sections 8 and 9, respectively, of the Management Agreement as of the Closing Date (the foregoing, “Accrued Base/Incentive Fees”), and any accrued and payable but unpaid expenses and fees payable to Manager pursuant to Sections 11 and 12 of the Management Agreement as of the Closing Date (“Manager Expenses”) shall be paid in full by the Company to Manager in cash as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

(d) It is understood and agreed that for purposes of Section 2.2, Section 2.3 or this Section 3.1, there shall be no legal requirement to disclose any Confidential Information solely by virtue of the fact that, absent such disclosure, CCOC and its Affiliates would be restricted from transacting in securities of CLNC or would be unable to file any proxy materials in compliance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder.

(e) CCOC shall be responsible for any breaches of this Section 3.1 by its Representatives.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 4.1 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, except by an agreement in writing, executed by each of CCOC and the Company, and compliance with any term of this Agreement may not be waived, except by an agreement in writing executed on behalf of the Party against whom the waiver is intended to be effective; provided that any material amendment or modification of this Agreement, or waiver of any material provision of this Agreement by the Company, shall require the prior written approval of a majority of the Independent directors of the Board of Directors. The failure of any Party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any such provision and shall not affect the right of such Party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Section 4.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or otherwise unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by Law, shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 4.3 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement, together with the agreements and other documents and instruments referred to herein, embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, that they may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

Section 4.6 Remedies.

(a) Each Party hereto acknowledges that monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy in the event that each and every one of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms, and it is therefore agreed that, in addition to, and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to seek an injunction, temporary restraining order, or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically each and every one of the terms and provisions hereof. Each Party hereto agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

(b) All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at Law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such Party.

(a) Each Service Provider, directly or through its Affiliates, shall provide or cause to be provided to the applicable Service Recipients the services set forth on Schedule 1 or Schedule 2, as applicable, from and after the Effective Date for the applicable Service Term.

(b) Each Service Provider may reasonably supplement, modify, substitute or otherwise alter any of the Scheduled Services from time to time in a manner consistent with supplements, modifications, substitutions or alterations made for similar services provided or otherwise made available by such Service Provider to itself or its Affiliates; provided, however, that any such supplements, modifications, substitutions or alterations will not reasonably be expected to adversely affect the applicable Service Recipient, and each Service Provider shall provide the applicable Service Recipient with at least five (5) days’ prior written notice of any such supplements, modifications, substitutions or alterations. Unless otherwise agreed by a Service Provider, no Service Provider shall be required to provide a scope or volume of Scheduled Services greater than the scope and volume of the applicable Scheduled Services provided to the business

Exhibit D-2

of its Service Recipient during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “Look-Back Period”).

(c) Each Party agrees that, for the duration of the Term, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such assistance and cooperation as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to facilitate an orderly transition of Scheduled Services between the Parties.

2.1.2 Direction of Employees. Each Service Provider shall be solely responsible for all salary, wages, bonuses and commissions, employment, payroll and other benefits of and liabilities owed to (including severance and worker’s compensation and the withholding and payment of applicable taxes relating to such employment), and compliance with immigration and visa laws and requirements in respect of, its personnel assigned to perform the Scheduled Services. In performing their respective duties hereunder, all personnel engaged in providing Scheduled Services shall be under the direction, control and supervision of the Service Provider engaging such personnel, and such Service Provider shall have the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to the employment (including termination of employment), assignment and compensation of such personnel. The employees of each Service Provider engaged in providing Scheduled Services shall not, by virtue thereof, become employees of the Service Recipient receiving such Scheduled Services.

2.1.3 Cooperation. Each Service Recipient shall (a) reasonably cooperate with its Service Providers with respect to the provision of Scheduled Services and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to enable such Service Providers to provide such Scheduled Services in accordance with this Agreement. Each Service Recipient shall provide its Service Providers with (x) access to its facilities and resources (including personnel) as is reasonably necessary for such Service Providers to perform the Scheduled Services, (y) all information and documentation reasonably necessary for such Service Providers to perform the Scheduled Services, and (z) timely decisions in order that such Service Providers may perform their obligations hereunder. The failure of any Service Recipient to comply with this Section 2.1.3 with respect to a Scheduled Service in a way that prevents or hinders a Service Provider from providing such Scheduled Service at all or in accordance with the service standard set forth in Section 2.2 shall excuse such Service Provider from any liability to the extent resulting from such Service Provider’s inability or failure to provide such Scheduled Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, until such time as such failure has been cured.

2.1.4 Permits. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Service Provider shall be obligated to provide a Scheduled Service if the provision of such Scheduled Service would violate any applicable Law or rules of professional ethics. If a Service Provider is prevented from providing, or causing to be provided, any Scheduled Service because(a) any necessary Permit is not in place, or (b) providing such Scheduled Service or causing it to be provided would violate applicable Law or rules of professional ethics, such Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) notify its Service Recipients receiving such Scheduled Service of such prevention as soon as practicable, and (ii) provide alternative reasonably equivalent services. If, after the Effective Date, a Service Provider changes the manner in which it provides the Scheduled Services such that it must obtain any additional Permits necessary to provide the Scheduled Services, such Service Provider shall be

Exhibit D-3

responsible for obtaining such necessary Permits, unless such change is made at its Service Recipient’s request, in which event such Service Recipient shall be responsible, at its own expense, for obtaining such necessary Permits.

2.1.5 Omitted Services. The Parties each have used commercially reasonable efforts to identify and describe the Scheduled Services. However, the Parties acknowledge and agree that there may be services which are not identified on Schedule 1 or Schedule 2, as applicable, that (A) in the case of the CLNC Services, were provided by a Service Provider to a Service Recipient or its subsidiaries during the Look-Back Period, (B) had been performed by the employees now employed by a Service Provider or its Affiliates or provided pursuant to contracts to which a Service Provider or its Affiliates is now a party or assets now owned by Service Provider or its Affiliates, and (C) are necessary to operate the business of the Service Recipient (as such business is currently conducted) after the Closing Date (collectively, the “Omitted Services”). At any time during the sixty (60) day period immediately following the Effective Date, a Service Recipient may provide written notice to its Service Provider requesting such Omitted Services setting forth in reasonable detail a description of the requested Omitted Service(s), the proposed start date or dates and the proposed termination date or dates. The Parties agree to cooperate and negotiate in good faith using reasonable efforts in order to come to an agreement regarding the provision of Omitted Services on reasonable terms and conditions that are mutually agreed to by the Parties; provided however, that if the Parties cannot agree on the termination date or dates of the Omitted Service(s), such service(s) shall be provided for a ninety (90)-day term. Any Omitted Services shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement, shall be considered added to Schedule 1 or Schedule 2, as applicable, shall constitute an agreed amendment to this Agreement and shall thereafter be considered a Scheduled Service.

2.2 Standard of Services. Subject to Section 5.6.2, each Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform each Scheduled Service or to cause such Scheduled Services to be performed at a standard that is (a) in accordance with applicable Law, (b) no lower than the standard to which such Scheduled Service was provided during the Look-Back Period and (c) no lower than the standard to which the same or substantially similar services are provided or otherwise made available by such Service Provider to itself or its Affiliates. Each Service Recipient understands and agrees that the Service Providers are not in the business of providing transition services to third parties, and under no circumstances shall any Service Provider be held accountable to a higher standard of care than that set forth herein. The description of services in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 shall not alter, amend or supplement the service standard set forth in this Section 2.2.

2.3 Limitation on Services.

2.3.1 Each Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that each Service Provider’s obligation to provide the Scheduled Services under the standards of performance set forth in Section 2.2 of this Agreement shall be subject to and shall be limited to the extent to which the applicable Service Provider’s ability to provide Scheduled Services is adversely affected by such Service Recipient’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, under the Termination Agreement or any other Transaction Documents.

Exhibit D-4

2.3.2 Neither Party shall have any obligation to cause any Scheduled Services to be provided to any Person other than the other Party or its controlled Affiliates.

2.3.3 Except as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, no Service Provider shall be obligated to cause to be provided Scheduled Services to a Service Recipient in support of the businesses of a Service Recipient other than the businesses of such Service Recipient as currently conducted.

2.3.4 No Service Provider shall be obligated to provide any Scheduled Service (or portion thereof), but shall use reasonable efforts to provide alternative equivalent services, to the extent performance of such Scheduled Service (or portion thereof) would require such Service Provider to violate or breach (i) any applicable Law or any order of any Governmental Authority; (ii) the terms and conditions of a contract applicable to the administration of its business as currently conducted; (iii) such Service Provider’s written policies and procedures generally applicable to its other businesses or customers, including any changes made thereto, to the extent such changes are made (A) after the Effective Date and (B) (1) to comply with applicable Law or any order of any Governmental Authority, or (2) to respond to a new legal or regulatory requirement or to respond to a reasonably plausible security threat; or (iv) the Termination Agreement or any other Transaction Documents.

2.4 Dispute Resolution.

2.4.1 Amicable Resolution. The Parties mutually desire that friendly collaboration will continue between them during the Term. Accordingly, they will try to resolve in an amicable manner all disagreements and misunderstandings connected with their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, including any amendments hereto. In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute or disagreement (a “Dispute”) between the Parties in connection with this Agreement (including the standard of performance, delay of performance or non-performance of obligations), then the Transition Managers (as defined in Section 2.8) shall seek to resolve the Dispute amicably. If the Transition Managers are unable to resolve a Dispute within fifteen (15) days, then either Transition Manager, by written request to the other, may request that such Dispute be referred for resolution to a designated senior executive of each Party (“Designated Senior Executives”), which Designated Senior Executives will have five (5) Business Days to resolve such Dispute. If the Designated Senior Executives for each Party do not agree to a resolution of such Dispute within five (5) Business Days after the matter is referred to them, either Party may bring an action regarding such Dispute as set forth in Section 11.5.

2.4.2 Non-Exclusive Remedy. Nothing in this Section 2.4 will prevent either Party from immediately seeking injunctive or interim relief (i) in the event of any actual or threatened breach of any of the provisions of ARTICLE VIII, (ii) in the event that the Dispute relates to, or involves a claim of, actual or threatened infringement or violation of intellectual property or (iii) to the extent necessary for either Party to preserve any right hereunder. All such actions for injunctive or interim relief shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 11.5. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement, and further remedies may be pursued in accordance with Section 2.4.1.

Exhibit D-5

2.5 No Agency. Each Party acknowledges that it has entered into this Agreement for independent business reasons. The relationship of the Parties hereunder is that of independent contractors and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create a joint venture, partnership or any other relationship. Neither Party shall have any power or authority to negotiate or conclude any agreement, or to make any representation or to give any understanding on behalf of the other in any way whatsoever.

2.6 Subcontracting. Each Service Provider may subcontract for the performance of any Scheduled Service to be provided by such Service Provider to any Person; provided, that such Service Provider shall remain responsible for the compliance by each such third party subcontractor with the standards for Scheduled Services set forth in this Agreement and all other terms and obligations of such Service Provider under this Agreement relating to the provision of such service or services as if provided by such Service Provider. Any act or omission of any third party subcontractor with respect to Scheduled Services shall be deemed to be an act or omission of the Service Provider engaging such third party subcontractor for all purposes of this Agreement.

2.7 Consents. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the provision of any Scheduled Service as contemplated by this Agreement requires the consent, permission, waiver, agreement, license or approval of any third party (each, a “Consent”) not previously obtained, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Consent as promptly as possible after the Effective Date. The Service Recipient of such Scheduled Service shall be solely responsible for all costs of obtaining such Consent, including any payments that are required to be made to any third party; provided that no such costs shall be incurred without the Service Recipient’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Parties are unable to obtain such a Consent, until such time as such Consent is obtained, the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in any lawful and economically feasible mutually agreed upon alternative arrangement such that the applicable Service Recipient receives such Scheduled Services or reasonably equivalent alternative services and obtains the benefit and bears the burden of such service to the same extent (or as nearly as practicable) as if such Consent were obtained; provided, that such Service Recipient shall reimburse the Service Provider for any costs associated with such alternative arrangement to the extent they exceed the costs that would have been incurred by the Service Provider to provide the Scheduled Service as originally contemplated as if the required Consent had been obtained; provided that no such costs shall be incurred without the Service Recipient’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each Party will continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required Consent until the expiration of the applicable Service Term with respect to the corresponding Scheduled Service.

2.8 Transition Management. Each Party shall appoint a transition manager (each, a “Transition Manager”). The Transition Managers shall have the authority to represent the position of their respective Parties and to make operational decisions regarding the Parties’ performance of this Agreement. Each Transition Manager shall appoint or designate in a writing directed to the other Transition Manager, a person or persons to act in his or her stead on day-to-

Exhibit D-6

day matters within various functional areas when the Transition Manager is unavailable. Subject to the right to delegate duties to others, the Transition Managers shall serve as the primary contact point for the respective principals with respect to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement. Each Transition Manager’s responsibilities shall include: (a) conducting reviews of compliance with the service standard in Section 2.2; (b) assuring compliance with this Agreement, including the schedules attached to this Agreement; (c) mitigating and resolving technical and business issues; (d) managing the service migration process; and (e) participating in the dispute resolution process under Section 2.4. A Party may designate a replacement for its Transition Manager by written notice to the other Party. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to authorize either Transition Manager to amend this Agreement in any way.

2.9 Records and Audit. Each Party shall maintain true and correct records of all receipts, invoices, reports and other documents relating to the provision and receipt of Scheduled Services and the policyholder records of its business as currently conducted, as applicable, in accordance with their respective standard accounting practices and procedures, consistently applied, and shall provide each other with reasonable access to such records, subject to applicable Law and the obligations of ARTICLE VIII.

2.10 Ownership of Intellectual Property; License.

2.10.1 Any intellectual property owned by a Party or its Affiliates and used after the Effective Date in connection with the provision or receipt of the Scheduled Services, as applicable, shall remain the property of such Party or its Affiliates. Other than the license granted to a Party and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 2.10.2, neither Party nor its Affiliates shall have any right, title or interest in the intellectual property owned by the other Party or its Affiliates.

2.10.2 Each Party grants, and shall cause its Affiliates to grant, to the other Party and its Affiliates a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable license, solely during the Term, to use the intellectual property owned by such Party or its Affiliates solely to the extent necessary for the other Party and its Affiliates to provide or receive the Scheduled Services, as applicable.

2.11 Certain Obligations of the Parties.

2.11.1 Each Party shall adhere, and shall cause its representatives to adhere, in all material respects to all applicable policies and procedures of the other Party and its Affiliates in effect as of the Effective Date, and such other applicable policies and procedures with respect to which the other Party notifies such Party in writing, as of the third (3rd) Business Day following receipt of such notice (except that a Party may require the other Party to immediately comply with, and in such case the other Party shall immediately comply with, any notice relating to policies or procedures addressing compliance with applicable Law or such Party’s cybersecurity or data security policies or requirements).

2.11.2 Each Party shall follow, and shall cause its representatives to follow, in all material respects, all security and access policies of the other Party, at all times during the term of this Agreement, to the extent that such Party or its representatives requires ingress to and egress from the premises occupied by the other Party or its Affiliates, for reasonable purposes

Exhibit D-7

necessary to the delivery or receipt of Scheduled Services hereunder or the performance of any obligations required by this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

TERMS AND TRANSITION ASSISTANCE

3.1 Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence as of the Effective Date and, subject as to any Scheduled Service to the earlier expiration of the Service Term with respect thereto, shall continue until the earliest of:

3.1.1 the date on which the last of the Scheduled Services under this Agreement is terminated;

3.1.2 the date on which this Agreement is terminated by mutual agreement of the Parties; or

3.1.3 the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1.

3.2 Termination.

3.2.1 Early Termination. If a Service Recipient wishes to terminate a Scheduled Service on a date that is earlier than the end of the Service Term, such Service Recipient shall notify its Service Provider in writing of the proposed date on which such Scheduled Service shall terminate (the “Termination Date”), at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. If a Service Recipient provides its Service Provider with notice terminating or reducing a Scheduled Service, such Service Provider shall as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving such notice advise the Service Recipient in writing if such termination or reduction will require the termination or partial termination of any other Scheduled Service(s), or otherwise affects the provision of any other Scheduled Services. Except as set forth above, no such termination of any Scheduled Service will in any way affect a Service Provider’s obligation to provide or make available any other Scheduled Service provided or required pursuant to this Agreement, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Effective on the Termination Date, such Scheduled Service shall be discontinued and thereafter, this Agreement shall be of no further

Exhibit D-8

force and effect with respect to such Scheduled Service, except as to obligations accrued prior to the Termination Date. Each Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that (a) Scheduled Services provided by third parties may be subject to term-limited licenses or contracts between a Service Provider and applicable third parties (collectively, “Service Provider Third Party Contracts”), (b) the renewal periods under Service Provider Third Party Contracts may be for fixed periods, and (c) a Service Provider may not have the right to renew certain Service Provider Third Party Contracts. As a result, (x) each Service Recipient agrees that if a Service Provider is required to extend any Service Provider Third Party Contract in order to continue to provide any Scheduled Service during the Term, then it shall promptly notify the Service Recipient and, if Service Recipient elects to continue receiving the applicable Scheduled Service, then such Service Recipient shall be required to pay the Service Provider the full amount of any renewal fees or purchase commitments applicable to the relevant Scheduled Service for the full renewal period specified in the applicable Service Provider Third Party Contract, regardless of whether the Term or such Service Provider’s provision of the relevant Scheduled Service ends prior to the end of the relevant renewal period, (but provided that the Service Provider has used commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the extent of any excess renewal period or commitments) and (y) in the event that such Service Provider is unable to renew any applicable Service Provider Third Party Contract, such Service Provider shall reasonably cooperate with such Service Recipient to identify any reasonable alternatives to the impacted Scheduled Service. For the avoidance of doubt, no Service Provider shall be required to provide any Scheduled Service to the extent it is unable to renew any applicable Service Provider Third Party Contract.

3.3 Return of Materials. Each Service Provider shall, and shall cause its representatives to, maintain and preserve such books and records related to the provision of the Scheduled Services as required by the applicable Service Recipient’s standard document retention policies or as may be required by applicable Law. After a Scheduled Service is completed or terminated, each Service Provider shall transfer any records maintained by such Service Provider hereunder that pertain exclusively to such terminated and transferred Scheduled Service to the Service Recipient or to its designee, or, if reasonably requested by such Service Recipient, shall return or destroy all materials and property owned by the other Party and materials and property of a proprietary nature involving a Party or its Affiliates relevant solely to the provision or receipt of that Scheduled Service; provided, however that each Service Provider may maintain and preserve such books and records related to the provision of the Scheduled Services except (i) as otherwise required by applicable Law, and (ii) to the extent that the materials are otherwise retained on e-mail platforms, in archival back-up tapes or similar storage media or are otherwise retained in accordance with the internal policies of such Service Provider, subject in each case to the requirements of ARTICLE VIII hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

COMPENSATION AND PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS FOR SCHEDULED SERVICES

4.1 Compensation for Scheduled Services.

4.1.1 This Agreement is being entered into in connection with the Termination Agreement, and except as expressly set forth herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the schedules hereto), no additional consideration or other fees shall be payable by any Service

Exhibit D-9

Recipient to any Service Provider in respect of or in consideration for the Scheduled Services hereunder.

4.1.2 Taxes.

(a) Each Service Recipient will pay (or reimburse) and be liable for all sales, goods or services, excise, value added, use, transfer, consumption or similar taxes (the “Sales and Service Taxes”) imposed on Scheduled Services provided by a Service Provider; provided, that Service Recipient will not be responsible for any Sales and Services Taxes attributable to Service Provider’s failure to comply with any applicable certification, identification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement, in each case, required to be satisfied by Service Provider under applicable Law. The Party legally obligated to pay any such Taxes shall be responsible for paying such Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority. Each Service Recipient shall reimburse such Service Provider for any such Taxes paid by such Service Provider within thirty (30) days of the Service Recipient’s receipt of evidence of payment thereof. Each Party shall pay and be responsible for its own personal property taxes and franchise taxes and taxes based on its own income or profits or assets. Service Recipient shall be entitled to any refund, credit or offset of Sales and Service Taxes borne by Service Recipient under this Section 4.1.2, including any interest paid by the applicable taxing authority. To the extent the Service Provider recovers any refund, credit or offset of such Sales and Service Taxes, it shall promptly repay such refund, credit or offset to the Service Recipient (net of any additional taxes Service Provider incurs or will incur as a result of the receipt of such refund, credit or offset).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Service Recipient (and its applicable Affiliates) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or to cause to be deducted and withheld) from all amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law. Any amounts so deducted or withheld shall be (i) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made and (ii) timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority as required by applicable Law.

(c) With respect to each provision in this Section 4.1.2, each Service Recipient and each Service Provider shall reasonably cooperate with each other and take any action to provide or make available any information reasonably requested (and with a sufficient level of detail) in order to avail themselves of any available exemptions from and to minimize (i) any Sales and Service Taxes payable with respect to the Scheduled Services and (ii) any amounts required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement.

4.1.3 Out-of-Pocket Expenses. In the event that a Service Provider incurs reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the provision of any Scheduled Service, including license fees and payments to third party service providers (including, for the avoidance of doubt, costs and payments for obtaining Consents pursuant to Section 2.7 hereunder) or subcontractors, but excluding payments made to or on behalf of employees of such Service Provider or other general overhead expenses (such included expenses,

Exhibit D-10

collectively, “Out-of-Pocket Expenses”), the applicable Service Recipient shall reimburse such Service Provider for all Out-of-Pocket Expenses to the extent they are directly attributable to the Scheduled Services; provided, however, that the Service Provider shall be responsible for (and the Service Recipient shall not be required to reimburse) any Out-of-Pocket Expenses to the extent they (i) would result in the aggregate amount of reimbursable Out-of-Pocket Expenses exceeding the Historical Out-of-Pocket Expense Run Rate (as defined below) and (ii) are incurred as a result of any actions taken by the Service Provider or its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Historical Out-of-Pocket Run Rate” means $45,000 per month. Each Service Provider shall issue monthly invoices to its Service Recipients (“Invoices”), which shall set forth in reasonable detail all such Out-of-Pocket Expenses incurred by such Service Provider under this Agreement. All payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by each Service Recipient within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of an Invoice.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNIFICATION

5.1 Indemnification by Service Providers. Each Service Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless its Service Recipients and their Affiliates from any and all Losses to the extent relating to or arising out of Third Party Claims relating to, resulting from or arising out of any actual fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by or on behalf of such Service Provider or any of its Affiliates or subcontractors in providing any of the Scheduled Services that such Service Provider is obligated to provide hereunder (“Service Recipient Indemnifiable Losses”).

5.2 Indemnification by Service Recipients. Each Service Recipient shall indemnify and hold harmless its Service Providers and their Affiliates from any and all Losses to the extent relating to or arising out of Third Party Claims relating to, resulting from or arising out of such Service Provider’s provision of the Scheduled Services hereunder except to the extent relating to, resulting from or arising out of any actual fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by or on behalf of such Service Provider or any of its Affiliates or subcontractors in providing any of the Scheduled Services that such Service Provider is obligated to provide hereunder (“Service Provider Indemnifiable Losses”, and each of “Service Provider Indemnifiable Losses,” and “Service Recipient Indemnifiable Losses” are “Indemnifiable Losses”).

5.3 Indemnification Procedures.

5.3.1 If any Indemnitee receives notice of assertion or commencement of any Third Party Claim against such Indemnitee in respect of which an Indemnitor may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give such Indemnitor reasonably prompt written notice thereof and such notice shall include a reasonable description of the claim, any documents relating to the claim, an estimate of the Indemnifiable Losses and shall reference the specific sections of this Agreement that form the basis of such claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnitor, promptly after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.

Exhibit D-11

5.3.2 The Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor. Should the Indemnitor so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall not, as long as it conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnitee for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnitor, it being understood that the Indemnitor shall control such defense. The Indemnitor shall be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee for any period during which the Indemnitor has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnitee has not yet given notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). If the Indemnitor chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, the Parties shall cooperate in the defense thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnitor’s request) the provision to the Indemnitor of records and information that are relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnitor shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or pay, settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent. If the Indemnitor has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor may only pay, settle, compromise or discharge a Third Party Claim with the Indemnitee’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that the Indemnitor may pay, settle, compromise or discharge such a Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnitee if such settlement (i) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (ii) does not subject the Indemnitee to any injunctive relief or other equitable remedy and (iii) does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnitee.

5.4 Mitigation of Damages. Each Party agrees that it will, and will cause its Affiliates who are Indemnitees hereunder to, use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and otherwise minimize, in accordance with applicable Law, any Indemnifiable Losses for which an Indemnitee may seek indemnification under this Agreement.

5.5 Insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Party indemnified under this ARTICLE V shall be indemnified or held harmless hereunder to the extent such Indemnifiable Losses are actually recovered from insurance provided by a third Person.

5.6 Exclusive Remedy.

5.6.1 Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, following the Effective Date, other than (a) in the case of actual fraud, (b) as expressly set forth herein, including Section 5.6.2, and (c) with respect to equitable relief available hereunder, including Section 2.4.2, and the termination rights provided under Section 7.1, the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of such Party for any Proceedings arising from or related to this Agreement.

Exhibit D-12

5.6.2 In the event of any breach of this Agreement by a Service Provider with respect to the provision of the Scheduled Services, including such Service Provider failing to provide a Scheduled Service in accordance with the service standard set forth in Section 2.2, upon such Service Recipient’s written request, the Service Provider shall promptly re-perform such Scheduled Service (if Service Provider can reasonably be expected to re-perform in a commercially reasonable manner) at such Service Provider’s sole cost and expense, other than in respect of any related Out-of-Pocket Expenses, which shall be paid in accordance with Section 4.1.3. Any request for re-performance in accordance with this Section 5.6.2 by a Service Recipient must be in writing and specify in reasonable detail the particular breach, and such request must be made no more than one (1) month from the date such breach becomes apparent or should have reasonably become apparent to such Service Recipient.

ARTICLE VIII

CONFIDENTIALITY

8.1 Confidential Information.

8.1.1 Each Party covenants that it shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, and direct its and their representatives and any third party subcontractors to (a) accord the Confidential Information of the other Party the same degree of confidential treatment that it accords its similar proprietary and confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care, (b) not use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than solely as required for performance of the Scheduled Services, and (c) not disclose such Confidential Information to any Person unless such person has a “need to know” such Confidential Information in order to provide or receive the Scheduled Services; provided, that such Party will require such Persons to comply with the restrictions of this ARTICLE VIII as if such Person was a party hereto and such Persons have agreed or are subject to written confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth herein. Each Party agrees to establish and maintain administrative, physical and technical safeguards, data security procedures and other protections against the destruction, loss, unauthorized access or alteration of the other Party’s Confidential Information which are no less rigorous than those otherwise maintained for its own Confidential Information.

8.1.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to the extent the disclosing Party demonstrates that such disclosure is (a) required to be made pursuant to applicable Law, Governmental Authority, duly authorized subpoena or court order, (b) required to be made to a court or other tribunal in connection with the enforcement of such Party’s rights under this Agreement or to contest claims between the Parties, (c) made to such Party’s service providers,

Exhibit D-14

Affiliates or its or their Representatives who need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of rendering services under this Agreement, or (d) approved by the prior written consent of the other Party. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party if it receives a subpoena or otherwise becomes aware of events that may legally require it to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party pursuant to (a) or (b) as set forth above, and will cooperate with the other Party (at the other Party’s expense) to obtain an order quashing or otherwise modifying the scope of such subpoena or legal requirement, in an effort to prevent the disclosure of such Confidential Information.

8.1.3 For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” does not include any information to the extent such information (a) was previously known by the receiving Party, its Affiliates or its representatives or independently developed by the receiving Party, its Affiliates or its representatives without reference to or use of the Confidential Information, (b) is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party, its Affiliates or its representatives (but excluding, for this Section 8.1.3(b), personal information), or (c) was obtained by the applicable Party from a third party, which source is not, to such Party’s knowledge, bound by a confidentiality agreement with the other Party or its representatives and is not, to such Party’s knowledge, otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to such Party by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.

8.2 Unauthorized Access. Each Party shall (a) notify the other Party promptly of any unauthorized possession, use, or knowledge of any Confidential Information by any person which becomes known to it, any attempt by any person to gain possession of Confidential Information without authorization or any attempt to use or acquire knowledge of any Confidential Information without authorization (collectively, “Unauthorized Access”), (b) promptly furnish to the other Party complete details of the Unauthorized Access and use reasonable efforts to assist the other Party in investigating or preventing the reoccurrence of any Unauthorized Access, (c) cooperate with the other Party in any litigation and investigation against third parties deemed necessary by such Party to protect its proprietary rights, and (d) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the Unauthorized Access and prevent a recurrence of any such Unauthorized Access. To the extent that a receiving Party inadvertently obtains access to any Confidential Information of the providing Party to which it was otherwise not intended to have access, if the receiving Party has knowledge of such access, the receiving Party shall immediately notify the providing Party and shall promptly destroy any such Confidential Information, certify its destruction, and instruct its employees not to use or otherwise act on such Confidential Information.

ARTICLE IX

SYSTEM ACCESS

If either Party (or any of its Affiliates or representatives) are at any time given access (each in such capacity, a “Guest User”) to the other Party’s computer system(s) or software (collectively, “Systems”) in connection with the performance of this Agreement, such Guest User shall comply with the other Party’s (each in such capacity, a “Host”) Systems security policies, procedures and requirements which the Host makes available to the Guest User from time to time. Each Party acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its representatives,

Exhibit D-15

that it shall not access, or attempt to access, any of the other Party’s or its Affiliates’ Systems without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent to be granted or withheld in such Party’s sole discretion). Each Party shall limit access to the other Party’s and its Affiliates’ Systems to those representatives with a need to have such access in connection with the performance of its obligations or receipt of Scheduled Services, and any such access shall only be for purposes directly related to the performance of its obligations or receipt of the Scheduled Services. Each Party agrees not to, and shall cause its representatives not to, access or manipulate the other Party’s and/or any of its Affiliates’ data without the other Party’s written permission, except as required to perform its obligations under this Agreement or as agreed between the Parties in advance in writing.

ARTICLE X

DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

Except for the representations, warranties and covenants expressly made in this Agreement, neither Party has made nor hereby makes any express or implied representations, warranties or covenants, statutory or otherwise, of any nature, including with respect to the warranties of merchantability, quality, quantity, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or the results obtained by the Scheduled Services. All other representations, warranties, and covenants, express or implied, statutory, common law or otherwise, of any nature, including with respect to the warranties of merchantability, quality, quantity, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or the results obtained by the Scheduled Services are hereby disclaimed by each Service Provider.

11.2 Construction. All article, section, subsection, schedule and exhibit references used in this Agreement are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. All schedules attached to this Agreement constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise: (a) the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular wherever and as often as may be appropriate, (b) the words “includes” or “including” mean “including without limitation,” (c) the word “or” is not exclusive, (d) the words “this Agreement,” “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and similar terms in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not any particular section or article in which such words appear and (e) the words “as amended” mean “as amended from time to time.” All references to Dollars or “$” are to United States dollars. All references to “days” are to calendar days. Any reference to a particular Law means such Law as amended, modified or supplemented (including all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and, unless otherwise provided, as in effect from time to time.

11.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Termination Agreement, Disclosure Schedule, and the other Transaction Documents, contain the sole and entire agreements between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and

Exhibit D-17

supersede all prior and contemporaneous discussions, understandings, negotiations, and agreements (whether written or oral) among the Parties or between any of them with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

11.4 Successor and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. Subject to Section 2.6, neither this Agreement nor the rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned, subcontracted or otherwise delegated or transferred by a Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. All of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties and conditions of this Agreement will be binding upon, and inure solely for the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (and in the case of indemnities, for the benefit of all Persons indemnified). Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or will be construed to confer upon or to give to any Person that is not a Party any rights, claims or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the other Party, (i) either Party may assign all of its rights and obligations in whole under this Agreement in connection with a merger, consolidation, liquidation or other business combination involving or an acquisition of all or substantially all assets of such Party by an unaffiliated third party (a “Change of Control”) so long as the resulting, surviving or transferee person assumes all the obligations of the relevant Party hereto by operation of Law or pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party; provided that in the event of a Change of Control of a Party in which the acquirer is a competitor of the other Party (as determined by the other Party in its reasonable discretion), the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and (ii) either Party may assign certain of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an unaffiliated third party acquirer of any assets of a Service Recipient, and following such assignment, the applicable Service Provider(s) shall continue to provide the Scheduled Services hereunder in respect of such assets except to the extent the Service Recipient elects to terminate such Scheduled Services. In the event of a Change of Control of a Service Provider, unless the rights and obligations of such Service Provider under this Agreement vest in such resulting, surviving or transferee person by operation of law, such Service Provider shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such resulting, surviving or transferee person to ensure continued provision of the services hereunder to the applicable Service Recipients.

11.5 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction).

(b) Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any Delaware state court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.

(c) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and therefore, each

Exhibit D-18

such Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.6 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.7 No Offset. No Party to this Agreement may offset any amount due to the other Party hereto or any of such other Party’s Affiliates against any amount owed or alleged to be owed from such other Party or its Affiliates under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document without the written consent of such other Party.

11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. Counterparts may be delivered via electronic mail (including .pdf or electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or other transmission method, and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

11.9 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party shall bear all of its own costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred by or on its behalf in connection with this Agreement and the transactions covered hereby.
