SERVICES AND REAL PROPERTY LEASES

Section 2.01. Provision of Services & Space Sharing.

(a)

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, commencing immediately after the Second Closing, Seller shall provide, and shall cause the applicable members of the Seller Group and other parties providing services to Seller, to provide to Service Recipient the Services set forth in Schedule A. Service Recipient may, at its option, from time to time to the extent there is no additional cost to Seller or its Affiliates, delegate any or all of its rights to receive one or more of the Services under this Agreement to any member of Service Recipient Group. Service Recipient shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of Service Recipient Group.

	(b)	On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable Real Property Leases identified on Schedule B and this Agreement, Service Recipient shall have the right to continue to operate as required for the operation of the Business as conducted at the Second Closing at the applicable portion of the Premises occupied solely by the Business at the Second Closing (the “Space Sharing”). Subject to the applicable Landlord’s rights in accordance with the terms of the applicable Real Property Lease, in addition to use and occupancy of the applicable Premises, included in the right to Space Sharing, Service Recipient shall have the right to use the common areas of the applicable Premises and any additional areas identified on Schedule B. Service Recipient shall use the applicable Premises only for the permitted use as such term is defined in the applicable Real Property Lease. Service Recipient must timely take all actions to comply with the terms and conditions of the Real Property Leases.

	(c)	Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Seller covenants and agrees that the manner, nature, quality and standard of care (the “Standard of Care”) applicable to the provision or procurement by Seller of the Services hereunder shall be substantially the same as that of similar services which Seller provided or procured for itself and its Affiliates prior to the Effective Date. The Parties acknowledge that the manner and scope of the Services requested from time to time by Service Recipient may impact how the Services are performed by Seller. Seller shall allocate to the Services any delay or suspension of performance of any Service in a manner no less favorable than the manner by which it allocates such delay or suspension of performance of Services to itself or any of its Affiliates’ business units or locations with respect to the provision of comparable services. All current policies and internal reporting procedures of Seller and its Affiliates with respect to the Standard of Care shall remain the same throughout the term of this Agreement. If Seller fails to abide by the Standard of Care in the performance of any applicable Service, upon receiving the written request of Service Recipient, Seller shall promptly correct the error, or re-perform or perform the Service, as requested by Service Recipient.

	(d)	Commencing immediately after the Second Closing, Service Recipient shall, and shall cause the applicable members of Service Recipient Group to pay, perform, discharge, and satisfy, as and when due, its obligations as Service Recipient under this Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Service Recipient shall provide the services set forth on Schedule E.

	(e)	Service Recipient and Seller shall cooperate in good faith with each other in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder. Seller and Service Recipient agree to appoint one of its respective employees (each such employee, a “Service Manager”) who will have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the delivery and receipt of Services. The Service Managers will consult and coordinate with each other regarding the provision of Services. Each Service Manager shall notify the other Party’s Service Manager of any failures, incidents or issues that may arise that present a risk to the timely delivery of the Services generally to the extent such Service Manager is aware of a potential failure, incident or issue. Seller shall, as soon as reasonably practicable: (i) investigate the underlying cause(s) of the issue; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the failure and promptly resume performance of the Services in accordance with this Agreement; and (iii) advise Service Recipient of the status of the issue and the remedial efforts being undertaken with respect thereto. Service Recipient shall make available employees and other resources reasonably requested by Seller in order to facilitate provision of the Services. Service Recipient will, or will ensure that its Service Manager will, as applicable, perform or respond to, within a reasonable time, any requests by Seller or its Service Manager for directions, instructions, approvals, authorizations, decisions, or other information reasonably necessary for Seller to perform the Services. If Seller fails to provide any Service when and as required by this Agreement as a result of a failure of Service Recipient or its Service Manager to provide timely direction, instruction, approval, authorization, decision, or other information following a written request by Seller, Seller shall not be in breach or default of this Agreement with respect to such failure. Service Recipient and Seller shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the other, to replace its respective Service Managers from time to time with a substitute manager.

	(f)	Seller shall determine in its sole discretion the personnel who shall perform the Services to be provided by it; provided, that such persons shall have the requisite experience and qualifications to perform the applicable Services. Seller shall pay for all personnel and other related expenses, including salary or wages and benefits of its employees performing the Services, as required by this Agreement. No Person providing Services to Service Recipient shall be deemed to be, or have any rights as, an employee or agent of such Service Recipient. Seller shall have no authority to bind Service Recipient by contract or otherwise.

	(g)	Seller may, at its option, from time to time and at no additional cost to Service Recipient or its Affiliates, delegate any or all of its obligations to perform Services under this Agreement to any one or more of its Affiliates; provided that such Affiliate(s) are capable of performing such Services without a material diminution in quality. In addition, Seller may, as it deems necessary or desirable, engage the services of other professionals, consultants or other third parties (each, a “Sub-Contractor”), in connection with the performance of the Services; provided, that Seller shall remain responsible for the Sub- Contractor’s performance of the applicable Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Service Recipient shall not be liable for any Costs with respect to such Sub-Contractor in excess of the Costs corresponding to such Services prior to the engagement of such Sub-Contractor.

	(h)	The Parties acknowledge that Seller may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing Services if Seller is making similar changes in performing the same or substantially similar Services for itself or other members of the Seller Group; provided, that (i) such changes are not reasonably expected to materially affect the Services in an adverse manner and (ii) Seller notifies Service Recipient in reasonable detail of any material change once the decision to make the change has been made. The foregoing shall include making changes to specific vendors, licensors, software, platforms and Third-Party Service Providers.

	(i)	Service Recipient and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that certain Services will be provided to Service Recipient by third parties (each, a “Third-Party Service Provider”). The agreements with the Third-Party Service Providers are existing agreements entered into by Seller on a company-wide basis or for multiple Seller magazines or for the Business, and not specifically for Service Recipient. Such Third-Party Service Providers may be set forth on Schedule A in connection with the related Services or may otherwise be provided as a necessary or inherent part of the Services, whether or not specifically itemized on Schedule A. Service Recipient hereby agrees to comply with Seller’s reasonable instructions provided in writing with respect to compliance with the terms of such agreements with the Third-Party Service Providers. Seller will work together with Service Recipient in good faith to mitigate any problems that may arise with respect to the provision of Services by Third-Party Service Providers, including holding Third-Party Service Providers to terms of the applicable agreements to same extent Seller does on behalf of its owned and operated publications.

	(j)	Service Recipient and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that certain third party Intellectual Property Rights will be licensed, sublicensed or otherwise provided by Seller for the benefit of Service Recipient to the extent that such licenses or sublicenses are necessary in connection with and ancillary to the provision of the Services, and that the term for which such licenses or sublicenses will be provided to Service Recipient will be the same as the term for which Service Recipient continues to receive the relevant Services. Such licenses or sublicenses may be set forth on Schedule A in connection with the related Services or may otherwise be provided as a necessary or inherent part of the Services, and, whether or not specifically itemized on Schedule A, may include licenses to Intellectual Property Rights, including software, or other systems. Service Recipient hereby agrees to comply with Seller’s reasonable instructions provided in writing with respect to compliance with the terms of such licenses and sublicenses.

	(k)	Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the provision of any Service or Space Sharing by Seller to Service Recipient if the provision of such Service or Space Sharing requires the consent, approval, or authorization of any Person (including any Governmental Entity), whether under applicable Law, by the terms of any contract to which Seller or any other Seller Group member is a party, or otherwise (each, a “Consent”), unless and until such Consent has been obtained.

(i) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as reasonably promptly as possible any Consent of any Person that Seller determines in its reasonable discretion is necessary for the performance of Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Any fees, expenses or other reasonable out of pocket costs incurred in connection with obtaining any such Consents shall be paid by Service Recipient, and Service Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide assistance as necessary in obtaining such Consents.

(ii) In the event that the Consent of any Person, if required in order for Seller to provide Services or Space Sharing, is not obtained reasonably promptly after the Second Closing, Seller shall notify Service Recipient and the Parties shall cooperate in devising an alternative manner (including Service Recipient obtaining a contract with such Person in its own name) for the provision of the Services or Space Sharing affected by such failure to obtain such Consent and the Costs associated therewith, such alternative manner. If Service Recipient approves such an alternative plan (including Costs to be reasonably satisfactory to Service Recipient), Seller shall provide the Services or Space Sharing in such alternative manner and Service Recipient shall pay for such Services or Space Sharing based on the alternative Costs. If Service Recipient does not approve such an alternative plan or no alternative plan is available, the affected Service shall be removed from this Agreement and the related Costs shall be reduced to reflect the removal of such Service or Space Sharing.

(iii) The Parties agree to discuss in good faith the transition of certain agreements with Third-Party Service Providers or licensors prior to the expiration of this Agreement. If Service Recipient seeks to enter into its own agreements with Third-Party Service Providers or licensors, Seller agrees to provide reasonably assist Service Recipient in obtaining its own agreements, including providing Service Recipient with contact information and making introductions with such Third-Party Service Providers and licensors.

(iv) The Services and Space Sharing shall not include, and no Seller Group member shall be obligated to provide, any service or facilities the provision of which to Service Recipient following the Second Closing would constitute a violation of any applicable Law. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller will not be required to perform or to cause to be performed any of the Services or provide the Space Sharing for the benefit of any third party or any other Person other than Service Recipient or its Affiliates.

(l)

Each Party hereby grants to the other Party a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty- free, nontransferable license, without the right to sublicense (except to an Affiliate or a Sub-Contractor who is providing Services on Seller’s behalf, solely to the extent necessary for such Affiliate or Sub-Contractor to provide the Services), for the term of the applicable Service, to use the Intellectual Property Rights owned by (or in the case of Service Recipient, owned by or licensed to) such Party solely to the extent necessary for the other Party to perform its obligations or receive the Services provided hereunder, as applicable. Seller acknowledges and agrees that it will acquire no right, title, or interest (including any license rights or rights of use) to any work product resulting from the provision of Services hereunder for Service Recipient’s exclusive use and such work product shall remain the exclusive property of Service Recipient. To the extent Seller has or obtains any rights in any such work product for Service Recipient’s exclusive use, Seller hereby assigns to Service Recipient all of its right, title and interest to such work product. Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that it will acquire no right, title or interest (other than a non- exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free worldwide right of use) to any work product resulting from the provision of Services hereunder that is not, in the reasonable judgment of Seller, for Service Recipient’s exclusive use and such work product shall remain the exclusive property of Seller. To the extent Service Recipient has or obtains any rights in any such work product that is not for Service Recipient’s exclusive use, Service Recipient hereby assigns to Seller all of its right, title and interest to such work product. Seller hereby grants to Service Recipient a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license for Service Recipient and any Service Recipient Group members (and any of their permitted successors or assigns) to use, modify, enhance, and reproduce pre-existing intellectual property or other work product owned by Seller, any member of Seller Group, or a Sub-Contractor that may be embedded within or necessary for use of any work product that is the subject of this Section 2.01(l). Except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.01(l), each Party retains all right, title and interest in and to its Intellectual Property Rights and no license or right, express or implied, is granted under this Agreement.

(m)

Subject to Section 2.02 and Section 3.02, the Parties agree that the Services and Space Sharing set forth in Schedule A and Schedule B constitute all of the services and facilities to be provided by members of the Seller Group after the Second Closing, except for those services to be provided by the Seller Group pursuant to any applicable Ancillary Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

Section 2.02. Service Amendments, Additions and Removals.

	(a)	Schedule A and Schedule B may be amended at any time by the written agreement of all Parties, including to add, amend or remove any additional Services, Service Categories or Space Sharing.

	(b)	In the event that any service necessary to operate the Business as it has historically been operated prior to the Second Closing was not included in Schedule A, and Service Recipient reasonably requires any such service in order to operate the Business following the Second Closing, then, Service Recipient may notify Seller that it wishes to receive such service on a transitional basis. Promptly following Seller’s receipt of such notice, but subject to the receipt of any necessary Consents pursuant to Section 2.01(j), Seller and Service Recipient agree to amend this Agreement to add any such service to Schedule A, on terms reasonably satisfactory to each of Seller and Service Recipient or, if Seller and Service Recipient fail to reach agreement, on terms substantially similar to those on which such Service was provided to or by Seller prior to the Effective Time and at a cost in accordance with Section 3.01.

Section 2.03. Responsibilities of Seller. Seller shall:

(a) maintain sufficient resources to perform its obligations hereunder (notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary);

(b) promptly notify Service Recipient of any staffing problems and any other material problems that have occurred or are reasonably anticipated to occur that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect Seller’s ability to provide the Services and the parties shall work together in good faith (including, on the part of Seller, using commercially reasonable efforts) to remedy any such problems; and

(c) promptly notify Service Recipient of any compliance problems in connection with the Services that have occurred or are reasonably anticipated to occur, and of which Seller becomes aware.

Section 2.04. Responsibilities of Service Recipient. Service Recipient shall:

(a) provide Seller with access to its facilities as is reasonably necessary for Seller to perform the Services it is obligated to provide hereunder;

(b) provide Seller with information and documentation reasonably necessary for Seller to perform the Services it is obligated to provide hereunder; and

(c) make available, as reasonably requested by Seller, reasonable access to resources (including, without limitation, personnel) and provide decisions in a reasonably timely manner in order that Seller may perform its obligations hereunder. Seller shall incur no liability of any kind caused by Service Recipient’s failure to provide reasonable access.

Section 2.05. Mutual Responsibilities. The Parties will use good faith efforts to cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of Services. Such cooperation shall include:

(a) exchanging information relevant to the provision of Services hereunder;

(b) good faith efforts to mitigate problems with the work environment interfering with the Services; and

(c) each Party requiring its personnel to obey the security regulations and other published policies of the other Party while on the other Party’s premises.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing or anything else herein, neither Party will be obligated to perform any action it reasonably believes is in violation of any Law.

ARTICLE III.

COMPENSATION

Section 3.01. Compensation for Services. As compensation for each Service rendered pursuant to this Agreement and the Space Sharing, Service Recipient shall be required to pay to Seller the Costs specified for such Service and the Space Sharing in Schedule C. The Costs set forth on Schedule C (other than with respect to any Space Sharing) are the Costs of Seller personnel to perform the Services. Such costs are on a “cost plus most-favored nation” basis as compared to the arrangements entered into by Seller with the acquirors of the Time and Fortune titles for the same services, as previously provided to Service Recipient (i.e., any element of profit or other comparable compensation to Seller for a Service Category will be no less favorable to Service Recipient than the profit or other comparable compensation payable by the acquirors of the Time and Fortune titles for the those services, subject to any related terms and conditions and other differences in the provision of such services to the other acquirors). The Costs on Schedule C do not include costs allocable to Service Recipient for Third-Party Service Providers and any licenses which are necessary for Seller to perform the Services. Seller shall allocate such costs to Service Recipient in a manner consistent with how Seller allocates corresponding costs to the acquirors of the Time and Fortune titles, as previously provided to Service Recipient. At the request of Service Recipient, Seller will provide copies of the relevant portions of the invoices, books, and records substantiating the third-party costs (including, for the avoidance of doubt, relevant documentation substantiating actual consumption or other metrics relating to Service Recipient or other Seller publications to the extent third party costs are allocated on pro-rata basis).

Section 3.02. Adjustments to Costs. If at any time following the date of this Agreement, the Parties agree to add, amend or remove any additional Services or Space Sharing pursuant to Section 2.02, then, concurrently with the addition, amendment or removal of such additional Services or Space Sharing, the Parties shall work in good faith to amend Schedule A, Schedule B and/or Schedule C to reflect such additional Services or Space Sharing, and the related Costs.

Section 3.03. Payment Terms.

(a)

Seller shall invoice Service Recipient monthly, within 20 Business Days after the end of each month, or at such other interval specified with respect to a particular Service or Space Sharing in Schedule C, an amount equal to the aggregate Costs due for (i) all Services, (ii) Space Sharing and (iii) all actual, out-of-pocket costs attributable to Service Recipient for third-party service providers and any licenses, provided in such month or other specified interval, as applicable. Service Recipient shall pay, or shall cause another member of its Group to pay, such amount in full within 30 days after receipt of each invoice by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Seller for this purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Recipient shall pay the amounts due for October 2019 (including services and third party costs) no later than January 31, 2020, for November 2019 no later than February 29, 2020, and for December 2019 no later than March 31, 2020. Invoices shall be directed to Service Recipient’s Service Manager or to such other person designated in writing from time to time by such Service Manager. Each invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the charges and amounts for each Service and the Space Sharing during the month or other specified interval to which such invoice relates. In addition to any other remedies for non-payment, if any payment is not received by Seller on or before the date such amount is due, then a late payment interest charge, calculated at a 10% per annum rate, shall immediately begin to accrue and any late payment interest charges shall become immediately due and payable in addition to the amount otherwise owed under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Service Recipient in good faith disputes any portion of an invoice delivered hereunder by written notice to Seller within 10 days following receipt of such invoice, Service Recipient shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement for non- payment pending resolution of the applicable dispute; provided, that Service Recipient shall pay any portion of such invoice which is not in dispute in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.03; and provided, further, that any amounts disputed by Service Recipient which are finally determined to be payable by Service Recipient shall be deemed to have accrued interest at a 10% per annum rate from the date payment would have become due absent a dispute.

(b)

Seller will pay to Service Provider any accounts receivable received by Seller on behalf of Service Provider on a monthly basis; provided that Seller may apply any receipts due to Service Recipient to any payment due hereunder that is not received by Seller on or before the date such amount is due (excluding any amounts disputed in good faith pursuant to Section 3.03(a) above). Service Recipient shall be responsible for all sales tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax or similar tax imposed or assessed as a result of the provision of Services and Space Sharing by Seller.

Section 3.04. Limited Warranty. Seller warrants to Service Recipient that (a) the Services performed by it or any of its Affiliates shall be performed (i) in a workmanlike manner, (ii) in accordance with applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (and other similar Laws imposed by jurisdictions outside of the United States), applicable import and export controls and applicable Laws relating to labor and employment practices), and (iii) by individuals qualified for the tasks to which they are assigned, and (b) Seller will, while Services are being provided pursuant to this Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect, and not terminate or cancel, any material business licenses, permits and other authorizations existing as of the Effective Date and required to be maintained by Seller in order to provide such Services. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, all Services to be provided by Seller hereunder shall be provided in a timely manner in accordance with the Schedules hereto and the reasonable requests of Service Recipient (as they relate to the timing of provision of Services).

Section 3.05. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 3.04, THE SERVICES AND SPACE SHARING TO BE PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE FURNISHED WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 3.04, NO MEMBER OF THE SELLER GROUP MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT ANY SERVICE COMPLIES WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAW. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 3.05 SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT, EXPAND OR OTHERWISE MODIFY THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY SELLERS PURSUANT TO THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR ANY REMEDIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

Section 3.06. Books and Records. Seller shall, and shall cause the members the Seller Group to, maintain complete and accurate books of account as necessary to reasonably support calculations of the Costs for Services rendered by the Seller Group.

OTHER COVENANTS

Section 6.01. Authority of Seller.

Section 6.02. Certain Conditions Precedent. No Seller Group member shall be obligated to pay any amounts to any third party on behalf of any Service Recipient Group member (including, without limitation, in respect of any accounts payable of Service Recipient Group for which any Seller Group member is providing Accounts Payable Services) unless and until the following conditions shall have been met:

	(a)	to the extent the Seller Group does not have sufficient cash receipts in respect of the accounts receivable of Service Recipient Group to pay such third party, Service Recipient Group shall deposit cash in an amount equal to the amount owed to such third party into the bank account of the Seller Group set forth on Schedule D attached hereto for the payment to such third party by the Seller Group; and

The Parties will cooperate in good faith to mitigate any legal compliance matters that could result from differences in their respective privacy policies. If a Party becomes aware that it cannot satisfy any covenant, condition or obligation of this Agreement as a result of any such Law, it shall promptly notify the other Party and the Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to remediate the situation.

ARTICLE VII.

BREACH, NOTICE, AND CURE

Section 7.01. Breach, Notice, and Cure.

or to such other address as the Party to whom notice is given may have previously furnished to the others in writing in the manner set forth above.

Section 8.02. Amendment; Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written agreement executed and delivered by each of the Parties. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and any purported amendment by any Party or Parties effected in a manner which does not comply with this Section 8.02 shall be null and void. By an instrument in writing, each of Seller, on the one hand, and Service Recipient, on the other hand, may waive compliance by the other with any term or provision of this Agreement that the other was or is obligated to comply with or perform.

Section 8.03. Title to Data. Each Party acknowledges that it will acquire no right, title, or interest (including any license rights or rights of use) in any data, firmware or software, or the licenses therefor that are owned by the other Party or its Group by reason of the provision or receipt of the Services hereunder, except as expressly provided in Section 2.01(l).

Section 8.04. Force Majeure. In case performance of any terms or provisions hereof shall be delayed or prevented, in whole or in part, because of or related to compliance with any applicable Law, or because of riot, war, public disturbance, strike, labor dispute, fire, explosion, storm, flood, act of God, denial of service attacks or other “hacker” activity, or act of terrorism that is not within the reasonable control of Seller, and which by the exercise of reasonable diligence Seller is unable to prevent, or for any other reason which is not within the reasonable control of Seller (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), then, upon prompt written notice stating the date and extent of such interference and the cause thereof by Seller to Service Recipient, Seller shall be excused from its obligations hereunder during the period such Force Majeure Event or its effects continue, and no liability shall attach against either Seller or Service Recipient on account thereof; provided, however, that (i) Seller uses commercially reasonable efforts to restore the affected Services as soon as practicable, and promptly resumes the required performance upon the cessation of the Force Majeure Event or its effects, and (ii) Seller shall allocate to the Services any delay or suspension of performance of any Service in a manner no less favorable than the manner by which it allocates such delay or suspension of performance of Services to itself or any of its Affiliates’ business units or locations with respect to the provision of comparable services. A Force Majeure Event shall not relieve Service Recipient from liability or otherwise affect the obligation of Service Recipient to pay amounts due under this Agreement in a timely manner for Services rendered prior to the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event or which are otherwise incurred prior to the occurrence of that Force Majeure Event.

Section 8.05. Terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Parties agree that, in the event of any inconsistencies or ambiguities or conflict between this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, the terms of the Purchase Agreement shall govern.

Section 8.06. Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed by the Parties or any third party as creating a relationship of principal and agent, partnership, or joint venture between the Parties, or with any individual providing Services, it being understood and agreed that no provision contained herein, and no act of any Party or members of their respective Groups, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the Parties or members of their respective Groups other than the relationship set forth herein. Each Party and each Seller Group member shall act under this Agreement solely as an independent contractor and not as an agent or employee of any other Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates.

Section 8.07. Confidentiality.

	(a)	Each Party undertakes to treat as confidential and shall not, except as permitted in this Section 8.07, disclose or make available to any third party (other than Sub-Contractors) all information in any medium or format (whether marked “confidential” or not) which that Party (the “Receiving Party”) receives during the term of this Agreement and for the purposes of this Agreement from any other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) either directly or from any person, firm, Sub-Contractor, company, or organization associated with the Disclosing Party, which concerns the business or operations of the Disclosing Party or its Affiliates and is owned by the Disclosing Party (the “Confidential Information”). The Receiving Party shall, with respect to any Confidential Information received hereunder, use the same standard of care as it applies to its own Confidential Information of similar character, provided that such standard is at least reasonable.

	(b)	The Receiving Party may use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for the purposes of this Agreement and the Receiving Party may provide its Affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, Sub-Contractors, auditors, and representatives with access to such Confidential Information on a strict “need-to-know” basis only. Each Party shall ensure that its Affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, Sub-Contractors, auditors, and representatives comply with such Party’s obligations of confidence. Each separate recipient shall be bound to hold all such Confidential Information in confidence to the standard required under this Agreement. Where such recipient is not an employee or director of the relevant Receiving Party or one of its Affiliates, the Receiving Party shall provide the Confidential Information to such permitted persons subject to reasonable and appropriate obligations of confidence. Each Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 8.07 by its Affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, Sub-Contractors, auditors, and representatives, including, with respect to Service Recipient, for any breach of this Section 8.07 by any Service Recipient employee or contractor located on a Seller property pursuant to the Space Sharing.

	(c)	The provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not apply to any information which enters the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.07, is received from a third party which is under no confidentiality obligations with respect to such information or is independently developed by one Party without the use of another Party’s Confidential Information. The Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (i) where required to do so by applicable Law or by any competent Governmental Entity (including any United States or foreign securities exchange) or (ii) in the case of a Receiving Party that is an Affiliate of a public company, in accordance with the public filing practices of such public company. In these circumstances, the Receiving Party shall give the Disclosing Party prompt advance written notice of the disclosures (where lawful and practical to do so) so that the Disclosing Party has sufficient opportunity (where reasonably possible) to prevent or control the manner of disclosure by appropriate legal means.

	(d)	Except to the extent required under this Agreement or required for purposes of complying with applicable Law, all Confidential Information, in written or other tangible media, shall be returned to the Disclosing Party or destroyed by the Receiving Party (such destruction to be certified in writing to the Disclosing Party by an authorized officer of such Receiving Party) within thirty (30) days following the expiration, termination, or cancellation of this Agreement and all electronic Confidential Information shall be deleted from the Receiving Party’s systems.

	(e)	The provisions of this Section 8.07 shall survive indefinitely, notwithstanding any termination of all or any portion of this Agreement.

Section 8.08. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Ancillary Documents to which the Parties are party thereto, along with the Annexes, Schedules, and Exhibits hereto and thereto, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to subject matter hereof.

Section 8.09. Assignment; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that (a) Service Recipient may, without the prior written consent of Seller, assign this Agreement to an Affiliate of Service Recipient that holds assets of the Business (or is the direct parent of an entity that holds assets of the Business) and is receiving the Services and (b) Seller may, without the prior written consent of Service Recipient, delegate any or all of its obligations to perform Services under this Agreement to any one or more of its Affiliates or Sub-Contractors in accordance with Section 2.01(g); provided, further, that Seller shall remain primarily liable hereunder notwithstanding any such delegation or assignment. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 8.09 shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, insure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is not intended to nor will confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application or the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 8.11. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or scanned pages shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 8.12. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.

Section 8.13. Construction; Interpretation. The term “this Agreement” means this Agreement together with the schedules, exhibits, and annexes hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No Party, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Party. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (i) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the schedules, exhibits, and annexes, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (iii) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (iv) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and (v) references to “$” or “dollar” or “US$” shall be references to United States dollars.

Section 8.14. Exhibits, Schedules, Annexes. All exhibits, schedules, and annexes, and all documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement.

Section 8.15. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 8.16. Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the Parties (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any federal court located in the State of Delaware, or, if neither of such courts has jurisdiction, any state court of the State of Delaware having jurisdiction, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and (iii) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each Party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address of the Party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 8.01. Nothing in this Section 8.16, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each Party agrees that a final, non- appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Section 8.17. Remedies. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
