conditions of this Agreement, Enterasys shall maintain sufficient
resources to perform its obligations hereunder. Enterasys shall use
reasonable efforts to provide Services in accordance with the policies,

after having used reasonable efforts to detect any such errors or
omissions; and

be to use reasonable efforts, subject to Section 2.3, to make the
Services available and/or to resume performing the Services as
promptly as reasonably practicable.

to cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and
receipt of Services. Such cooperation shall include exchanging
information, performing true-ups and adjustments, and obtaining all third
party consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals necessary to permit
each party to perform its obligations hereunder (including by way of
example, not by way of limitation, rights to use third party software
needed for the performance of Services). The costs of obtaining such third
party consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals in connection with the
performance of Services for CSI shall be borne by CSI. Each party will
maintain, in accordance with its standard document retention procedures,

ARTICLE 5
TERM AND TERMINATION
5.1. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and

between CSI and such Newco.
5.2. TERMINATION.
(a) CSI may terminate this Agreement, either with respect to all or with
respect to any one or more of the Services provided by Enterasys
hereunder, for any reason or for no reason, at any time upon giving
prior written notice to Enterasys at least sixty (60) days prior to
such termination.
(b) Enterasys may terminate this Agreement (i) either with respect to all
or with respect to any one or more of the Services provided to CSI
hereunder, for any reason or for no reason, at any time after the
Expiration Date upon giving prior written notice to CSI at least a
full fiscal quarter prior to such termination; or (ii) with respect
to a specific Service if CSI materially breaches a material provision

to cure such breach going forward) within sixty (60) days after being
given notice of the breach.

survive termination thereof to the extent necessary to carry out the

respect to a particular Service, corporate administrative services of the
kind provided prior thereto may continue to be provided to CSI on an as-
requested basis by CSI or as required in the event it is not practicable
for CSI to provide such services or CSI is otherwise unable to identify
another source to provide such services. In the event such services are
provided by Enterasys to CSI, CSI shall be charged by Enterasys a fee
equal to the market rate for comparable services charged by third-party
vendors. Enterasys shall periodically provide invoices to CSI detailing
any such charges. If, at such time, CSI is still managing an Intercompany
Account for Enterasys, the charges shall be paid by CSI to the
Intercompany Account of Enterasys. Any amounts owed by CSI to Enterasys
under this Agreement may be offset by amounts owed by Enterasys to CSI
under the Services Agreement between CSI and Enterasys. If CSI is no
longer managing Enterasys' Intercompany Account, any invoice received by
CSI shall be payable no later than thirty (30) days after receipt. The
obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 5.4 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
