ARTICLE 2

TRANSITION SERVICES

Section 2.1. Transition Services.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in consideration of the fees and charges payable by Service Recipient pursuant to Article 4, Service Provider shall provide, directly or through one or more Service Provider Party, to Service Recipient the Transition Services.

(b) Service Recipient understands and agrees that (i) the Transition Services provided hereunder are transitional in nature and that Service Provider is not in the business of providing Transition Services to Third Parties and (ii) Service Provider has no interest under any circumstances in continuing, and shall not be obligated to continue, (A) any Transition Service beyond its Service Term, or (B) this Agreement beyond the Final Term.

(c) The Transition Services are provided solely for (i) the operation of (A) the SpinCo Business (in case of Transition Services provided to SpinCo), or (B) for the operation of the Parent Business or any business of Parent’s Affiliates (in case of Transition Services provided to Parent) and (ii) working towards a smooth and orderly transition of the SpinCo Business to SpinCo or, as applicable, the Parent Business to Parent, in each case ((i) and (ii)) as further detailed in the relevant Transition Service Schedules (the “Purpose”).

-9-

(d) Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that no services other than those specifically described as Transition Services in Appendix A will be provided by or on behalf of Service Provider and that access to and use of the Transition Services is provided solely for the use and benefit of Service Recipient and its Affiliates for the Purpose during the Service Term. Except as permitted by Section 2.1(e) or Section 10.5, Service Recipient shall not allow access to or use of the Transition Services by (and Service Provider shall have no obligation to provide any services to) any other Person or for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Service Provider.

(e) Service Recipient may pass on the Transition Services to its Affiliates existing as at the Effective Date, but only for as long as they remain Affiliates (i.e., if after the Effective Date, an entity becomes, or ceases to be, an Affiliate, it is no longer entitled to benefit from the Transition Services) and solely for the Purpose. However, this shall neither release Service Recipient from its contractual obligations under this Agreement, nor shall it create any contractual relationship between Service Provider or any of its Affiliates with any Affiliate of Service Recipient. Service Recipient shall (i) cause each such Affiliate to comply with its obligations as Service Recipient as set forth in this Agreement with respect to the relevant Transition Services and (ii) remain fully responsible for its and each such Affiliate’s compliance with their obligations under this Agreement and applicable Law.

Section 2.2. Service Provider’s Affiliates and Third Party Providers.

(a) In providing the Transition Services, Service Provider may (i) use its own personnel, (ii) use any of the personnel of any of its Affiliates (each such Affiliate involved in the provision of the Transition Services a “Service Affiliate”), or (iii) employ the services of qualified contractors, subcontractors, vendors or other Third Party providers (each, a “Third Party Provider”). Each of Service Provider and any Service Affiliates or Third Party Providers used by Service Provider to provide Transition Services shall be referred to as “Service Provider Party”.

(b) Where the Agreement imposes obligations on Service Provider or any Service Provider Party, Service Provider shall cause and compel each Service Affiliate or, as applicable, direct each Third Party Provider to perform such obligations and comply with the terms of this Agreement, provided, that, subject to Section 8.2(d), Service Provider shall remain responsible for such Service Provider Party’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.3. Nature and Quality of Transition Services. Service Provider shall provide the Transition Services (a) in accordance with the applicable service levels/KPIs set forth in Appendix A (if any); or (b) if no service levels/KPIs are specified in Appendix A, with at least the same degree of care, skill, and diligence used by Service Provider or its Affiliates, as applicable, in providing substantially similar services to its own internal organization at the time the Transition Services are performed;

Section 2.4. Service Provider’s Policies and Procedures. The Transition Services shall be provided by Service Provider in accordance with, and subject to, Service Provider’s and each Service Affiliate’s policies and procedures that are applicable at the time the Transition

-10-

Services are provided. If Service Recipient accesses Service Provider’s systems or premises or otherwise utilizes Service Provider’s facilities or equipment, Service Recipient shall comply with Service Provider’s applicable policies and procedures. If Service Recipient acts in a manner inconsistent with such policies or procedures, Service Provider shall so inform Service Recipient and specify the relevant policies or procedures to Service Recipient, and Service Recipient shall then conform to the requirements of such policies or procedures while having access to such systems or premises utilizing such facilities or equipment. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Service Provider or, as applicable, the Service Affiliates from making changes from time to time to such policies and procedures; provided, however, that any changes to such policies and procedures shall not materially change the care, skill and diligence applicable to the provision of any Transition Services hereunder. If the Service Recipient cannot – using commercially reasonable efforts – comply with any of the above changes, the Parties will discuss in good faith to find an approach to address any issues or find reasonable alternatives to any affected Transition Service at Service Recipient’s sole cost and expense.

Section 2.5. Limitations to Service Provider’s Obligations. In addition to any other limitation or exclusion of Service Provider’s obligations or liability hereunder, the Parties agree as follows:

(a) Service Provider and the applicable Service Affiliates shall have the right in their sole discretion to determine that it is necessary or appropriate to temporarily suspend a Transition Service due to scheduled or emergency maintenance, modification, repairs, updates or upgrades, alterations or replacements of any of systems or operations which are required to provide Transition Services (a “Shutdown”). Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Service Recipient with reasonable written notice of such Shutdowns as soon as reasonably practicable. If any Transition Services are suspended in accordance with this Section 2.5(a), (i) no Party shall have any liability whatsoever to the other Party directly arising out of or relating to such suspension; (ii) any payment of Service Fees for suspended Transition Services is suspended as well. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Shutdown continues materially longer than anticipated, the Parties will discuss in good faith an alternative to the affected Transition Service.

(b) Service Provider shall not be required hereunder to take any action (including by providing any Transition Services) that would constitute, or that Service Provider reasonably believes would constitute, (i) a violation of any applicable Law (including any failure to hold an applicable permit); (ii) a breach of a Service Provider Party’s contractual obligations, or (iii) any other violation of a Third Party’s rights; provided, however, that in each of the foregoing circumstances, the relevant Service Provider Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Service Recipient with reasonably prompt written notice upon becoming aware of such impediment and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to identify a commercially reasonable alternative to the affected Transition Service at Service Recipient’s sole cost and expense.

(c) For Transition Services that relate to the hosting, maintenance and other support of conveyed applications, Service Provider’s obligation is to solely continue such support in the environment as it existed prior to the Effective Date, and Service Provider’s obligation to provide the associated Transition Service for a conveyed application is terminated if Service Recipient

-11-

moves the application to a different environment or makes modifications that impact the Transition Services for that application.

Section 2.6. Information, Cooperation, and Other Assistance. Service Recipient shall cooperate with any Service Provider Party as reasonably necessary for the performance of the Transition Services. Upon Service Provider’s request, Service Recipient shall provide any relevant Service Provider Party with all information available to Service Recipient that is reasonably necessary to perform any Transition Services or the Migration Support; provided that Service Recipient shall not be required to disclose any information to the extent disclosure to the applicable Service Provider Party is not permitted under applicable Law or disclosure of such information is subject to any contractual restrictions that prevent Service Recipient from disclosing such information. If and to the extent Service Recipient (or any of its personnel) has been performing functions or provided other contributions in support of the receipt of Transition Services at the Effective Date, Service Recipient shall continue to perform such functions or contributions. If Service Recipient fails to perform such functions or contributions, Service Provider shall have no obligation to provide the relevant Transition Service and shall not be responsible for any Damages resulting therefrom.

Section 2.7. Access; Equipment.

(a) To the extent reasonably required for any relevant Service Provider Party to perform, or otherwise make available, the Transition Services, Service Recipient shall, and shall procure that its Affiliates shall, without any charge,

(i) provide any relevant Service Provider Party with reasonable access, on an as-needed basis, to Service Recipient’s or its Affiliates’ equipment, office space, plants, telecommunications, devices, and computer equipment and systems (subject to Section 10.10) and any other areas and equipment; and

(ii) perform any tasks and provide any acknowledgments or materials specified to be provided by Service Recipient in any Transition Services Schedule related to such access.

Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to Service Recipient’s operations in exercising such access rights.

(b) Any relevant Service Provider shall at all times during the relevant Service Term have the right to use any equipment owned or leased by Service Recipient as reasonably necessary for Service Provider to provide the Transition Services; provided, however, that any use or operation of such equipment by any relevant Service Provider not in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice shall require the prior written consent of Service Recipient, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 2.8. Third Party Consents and Third Party Providers.

(a) To the extent Service Provider requires the consent of a Third Party Provider to be able to provide certain Transition Services to Service Recipient (a “Third Party Consent”),

-12-

Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Third Party Consent and shall not be obliged to provide the relevant Transition Services as long as such Third Party Consent has not been granted (and Service Recipient shall not be obliged to pay for such Transition Service during such time period).

(b) To the extent that Third Party Consents are only granted subject to conditions (including the condition of additional payments), Service Provider shall coordinate with Service Recipient to determine whether such conditions shall be accepted. To the extent Third Party Consents are not granted, or are revoked or terminated, Service Provider shall cooperate with Service Recipient to determine a commercially reasonable alternative method of providing the relevant Transition Service or to otherwise modify the affected Transition Service.

(c) All costs and expenses incurred by Service Provider in obtaining any Third Party Consents or identifying, preparing or implementing any such alternative method, as applicable, shall be borne by Service Recipient. Service Provider shall not be required to relinquish or forbear any rights in connection with obtaining any Third Party Consent.

(d) Section 2.8 (a) to (c) shall apply mutatis mutandis where a Transition Service in whole or in part is provided by a Third Party Provider as used at the Effective Date and Service Provider’s contract with such Third Party Provider with respect to such Transition Service expires or is terminated any time after the Effective Date by the applicable Third Party Provider for a reason other than Service Provider’s breach of the agreement in place with such Third Party Provider.

(e) Service Recipient shall comply with all obligations, including use restrictions and non-disclosure provisions, imposed on Service Provider through any Third Party Provider Agreement or any Third Party Consent, provided that Service Provider has notified Service Recipient or Service Recipient is otherwise aware of such obligations.

(f) Section 2.8(a) to (c) shall not apply in the situation where, following the Effective Date, Service Provider elects to subcontract or outsource to a Third Party Provider the performance of a Transition Service previously provided by Service Provider’s own personnel or the personnel of a Service Affiliate (a “New Subcontracted Service”).

Section 2.9. TSA Sub-Committee. The Parties agree that the Transition Committee shall, during its first meeting, establish a TSA subcommittee to provide oversight for the administration of this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.16 of the SDA (the “TSA Sub-Committee”) and determine the procedures and composition for the TSA Sub-Committee to manage all responsibilities delegated to it by the Transition Committee. The Parties shall set out the procedures and composition of the TSA Sub-Committee determined by the Transition Committee on a schedule to the SDA.

Section 2.10. Migration of Transition Services.

(a) During the term of this Agreement, Service Recipient agrees to work diligently and expeditiously to employ or retain personnel, and establish its own logistics, infrastructure

-13-

and systems to enable a transition to its own internal organization (or employ directly the services of Third Party Providers) (the “Migration”) as soon as possible.

(b) Upon Service Recipient’s request, Service Provider shall provide Migration Support and IT Migration Support.

(c) Within sixty (60) business days from the Effective Date, the Parties shall in good faith agree on an operational plan for the separation and migration of data and functions relating to the Transition Services and the Migration Support to be provided by Service Provider (the “Migration Plan”), and both Parties shall agree in good faith on such plan to ensure a smooth transition. Once agreed, both Parties shall use reasonable endeavors to comply with the Migration Plan, including in relation to timelines and milestones defined therein and to perform a periodic review of the implementation of the Migration Plan once every ninety (90) days starting from the agreement of the Migration Plan by the TSA Sub-Committee. To the extent required, the Parties shall amend the Migration Plan to reflect the progress of the Migration (for clarity, such amendments shall not be subject to the change management procedure in Article 3). Service Recipient shall plan in good faith and, at Service Provider’s reasonable and periodic request, communicate to Service Provider the current status of Migration activities.

(d) Any failure of Service Recipient to deliver such Migration Plan shall not extend the term of this Agreement or delay the termination or expiration of any Transition Services.

(e) Service Recipient shall be responsible for and bear the costs and expenses for the Migration, including Service Provider’s costs and expenses for the Migration Support and IT Migration Support in accordance with the rate card set out in Appendix E.

Section 2.11. License Caps. For software that is licensed as part of the Transition Services, except as otherwise expressly stated in the application list included in the Transition Services Schedules (in the Transition Services category “IT”), the number of licenses available to Service Recipient hereunder shall be the same number of licenses as Service Recipient had available to it immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “License Cap”). If during any Service Term, Service Recipient requires licenses in excess of the applicable License Cap, the Parties shall work in good faith to determine if Service Provider has access to excess licenses that can be made available to Service Recipient at no additional charge. In the event no such additional licenses are available, and Service Provider must procure additional licenses, Service Recipient will be responsible for all incremental fees for the additional licenses over the License Cap.

Section 2.12. Licensed Software Restrictions. For all software that Service Recipient is granted access to use or access as part of the Services (“Licensed Software”), Service Recipient is prohibited from copying, modifying or transferring to any Third Party the Licensed Software. Service Recipient will not reverse assemble, compile, engineer or perform any other translation or similar activity to the Licensed Software. All Licensed Software is protected by copyright held by Service Provider or its licensors and nothing herein transfers or conveys any ownership right (other than a limited use license as part of the Transition Services) to the Licensed Software. Service Recipient may not use the Licensed Software separate from or not in connection with the Transition Services. All Licensed Software will be treated as Confidential

-14-

Information and upon termination or expiration of the applicable Service, Service Recipient will immediately return or securely dispose of any copies of the Licensed Software in its possession.

ARTICLE 3

CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Section 3.1. Service Recipient Requested Changes.

(a) From time to time during the first six (6) months following the Effective Date, Service Recipient may request Service Provider to provide additional services that are not Transition Services that (i) are critical for the operation of Service Recipient’s Business, (ii) were used in the conduct of Service Recipient’s Business immediately prior to the Effective Date in the country where the service is requested to be performed and were not discontinued prior to the Effective Date as part of the separation planning for or otherwise in connection with the transaction contemplated under the SDA, (iii) are not Out-of-Scope Services, and (iv) using reasonable efforts, cannot be provided by Service Recipient through its own personnel, Affiliates, or sourced by Service Recipient from a Third Party Provider (each such service an “Omitted Service”). In the event that Service Recipient requests an Omitted Service, Service Provider shall consider Service Recipient’s request in good faith and may not unreasonably withhold its consent to add such Omitted Service.

(b) From time to time, Service Recipient may also request Service Provider to provide additional services that are neither Transition Services nor Omitted Services (each such service an “Additional Service”). In the event that Service Recipient requests an Additional Service, Service Provider may elect in its sole discretion to provide such Additional Service.

(c) If Service Recipient requests changes to an existing Transition Service (other than changes to the Service Term which are governed exclusively by Section 9.1(b)), the Parties shall discuss such request within five (5) business days of Service Provider’s receipt of Service Recipient’s request (or within a shorter timeline to be agreed between the Parties in good faith if the change is required in emergencies or other exceptional circumstances). Service Provider will consider such request in good faith, but may elect in its sole discretion whether to agree to the requested change, provided, that, to the extent the requested change is required by applicable Law, the Parties will cooperate in good faith to identify a commercially reasonable and mutually agreeable resolution.

(d) Any request for an Omitted Service or an Additional Service or any request for another change pursuant to Section 3.1(c) shall be in writing and shall specify the type and scope of the requested service or the requested change. The maximum duration of any Omitted Service or Additional Service shall not exceed twenty-four (24) months following the Effective Date. If Service Provider agrees to any change request pursuant to Section 3.1, the Parties shall document the agreed amendment in writing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including appropriate additions or edits to the Transition Service Schedule. Service Recipient shall bear any implementation costs for the change pursuant to Section 3.1 and the Service Fee for the Omitted Service or Additional Service shall be calculated using the same methodology as used to

-15-

determine the Services Fees described in the existing Transition Services Schedules, including with respect to the mark-up percentage. Once agreed to in writing, the Omitted Service or Additional Service shall be deemed a Transition Service under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 3.2. Service Provider Directed Changes. Without prejudice to Service Provider’s obligation to provide the Services in accordance with Section 2.3 and the applicable Transition Service Schedules, Service Provider may, without a need for a formal change request, from time to time change the manner or method of providing a Transition Service if (i) Service Provider is making similar changes in performing similar services for its own internal organization (including ordinary patching, maintenance, and similar activities), provided, that, such change does not increase the applicable Service Fees, or (ii) the change is required to comply with changes in applicable Law (each such change an “Operational Change”). If the Operational Change is required to comply with changes in applicable Law and (i) only impacts one Party, such Party will bear the full cost of implementing such change, or (ii) affects both Parties, the cost of the change will be proportionately shared between the Parties. Service Provider shall give to Service Recipient substantially the same notice of these Operational Changes (in content and timing), if any, as it gives to the relevant affected members of Service Provider and their Affiliates.

ARTICLE 4

PAYMENTS

Section 4.1. Service Fee. As compensation for each Transition Service to be provided pursuant hereto, subject to any change requests, Service Recipient shall pay Service Provider the fee(s) and, if applicable, any costs, expenses, or other charges specified in the Transition Services Schedule of Appendix A for the relevant Transition Service (the “Service Fee”). Unless otherwise specified in Appendix A, each Service Fee listed is stated as a monthly charge. Monthly charges will not be pro-rated or refunded for any termination or expiration of a Transition Service that occurs mid-month.

Section 4.1. Adjustment of Service Fees. If Service Provider’s costs associated with the provision of a Transition Service increase due to an increase in the costs from a relevant Third Party Provider, Service Provider may, by written notice to Service Recipient, pass-through the increase to Service Recipient by adjusting the Service Fee accordingly. Upon request of Service Recipient, Service Provider shall provide reasonable evidence of the relevant increase of the costs of any Third Party Provider Agreement. For clarity, any such adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall only apply as from the date of the written notice provided by Service Provider but not retroactively; the Parties acknowledge and agree that any such adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1 does not require an amendment of this Agreement (including the Transition Service Schedules) but will be set-out in a separate line item in the applicable Settlement Statements. Any cost increases incurred (or costs savings generated) by Service Provider in connection with a New Subcontracted Service shall not be passed-on to Service Recipient and shall not affect the Service Fee for the relevant Transition Service.

Section 4.2. Settlement Statement.

(a) Service Fees (if a positive amount for a given monthly period) shall be paid to Service Provider in accordance with the following settlement process, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements:

(i) No later than the last calendar day of the month following (x) each month during the Final Term and (y) each of the three (3) months following the last day of the month in which this Agreement is terminated or expires, Parent shall deliver to SpinCo a Settlement Statement or, in an applicable jurisdiction, a Local Statement issued by Parent or an Subsidiary of Parent to SpinCo or an Subsidiary of SpinCo, each Settlement Statement and Local Statement(s) reflecting, to the extent reasonably possible at the time the Settlement Statement or Local Statement is prepared, the Service Fees payable to Service Provider for the preceding month (and for the avoidance of doubt, any Service Fee or other form of consideration under an applicable Ancillary Agreement for a given month that it is not reasonably possible to include in the applicable monthly Settlement Statement or, as applicable, Local Statement shall be carried over and included when available in the next monthly Settlement Statement or Local Statement).

(ii) In each case unless otherwise required by applicable Law, all Settlement Statements under this Agreement shall be issued in U.S. dollars. If applicable, to the extent any amounts used in the calculation of Service Fees is not expressed in U.S. dollars and need to be converted to U.S. dollars for purposes of such calculation, Service Provider shall convert such amount into U.S. dollars based upon the applicable foreign exchange rate reported by the foreign exchange rate services of Reuters using the average of each daily rate within the month applicable to the Settlement Statement or Local Statement. Settlement Statements or, as applicable, Local Statements issued under another Ancillary Agreement may be issued by Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent in the relevant local currency as further set out in the relevant Ancillary Agreement.

(iii) Upon written request by SpinCo, Parent shall make its personnel reasonably available to answer questions and provide reasonable supporting documentation (to the extent such documentation already exists or is otherwise routinely generated by Parent in the ordinary course) with respect to any Settlement Statement or Local Statement (if applicable).

(b) No later than thirty (30) days following the date of receipt by SpinCo or an Subsidiary of SpinCo of any Settlement Statement or, as applicable, Local Statement, if the net total amount for the month set forth in such Settlement Statement or Local Statement is (i) a positive amount, Parent or, as applicable, an Subsidiary of Parent shall remit to SpinCo or, as applicable, an Subsidiary of SpinCo an amount equal to such net amount or (ii) a negative amount, SpinCo or, as applicable, an Subsidiary of SpinCo shall remit to Parent or, as applicable, an Subsidiary of Parent an amount equal to the absolute value of such net amount.

(c) Any payments due and payable pursuant to this Section 4.2 (which are not subject to an objection notice) and not made within the time required pursuant to Section 4.2(b)

-17-

shall be subject to late charges, calculated based on the federal funds rate in effect on the date such payments were required to be made through the date of payment.

(d) Without limiting other available remedies, Service Provider reserves the right to suspend, or cause to be suspended, the performance of Transition Services under this Agreement upon failure of Service Recipient or, as applicable, a designated Subsidiary of Service Recipient, to make any payment which is past due pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Service Provider must provide written notice of its intention to suspend, or cause to be suspended, performance of any such Transition Services and provide Service Recipient thirty (30) days to cure such failure in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent any failure of Service Recipient or a Subsidiary of Service Recipient to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed a breach solely with respect to this Agreement (and not with respect to any other Ancillary Agreement).

(e) If SpinCo or Subsidiary of SpinCo disputes any amount reflected in a Settlement Statement or Local Statement (if applicable), SpinCo or designated Subsidiary of SpinCo must deliver to Parent and relevant Subsidiary of Parent an objection notice no later than thirty (30) days after receiving such Settlement Statement or Local Statement. Within five (5) business days of Parent’s and Parent’s relevant Subsidiary’s receipt of such objection notice, the TSA Sub-Committee (or, as applicable, relevant sub-committee under the relevant Ancillary Agreement) shall discuss in good faith a resolution of such Dispute. If, following such discussions, the TSA Sub-Committee (or, as applicable, relevant sub-committee under the relevant Ancillary Agreement) has not resolved such Dispute, then within five (5) business days after such discussions, the TSA Sub-Committee (or, as applicable, relevant sub-committee under the relevant Ancillary Agreement) shall discuss again and members of senior management with authority to resolve such Dispute of each Party shall attend and participate in such discussion. If such Dispute remains unresolved following such meeting of TSA Sub-Committee (or, as applicable, relevant sub-committee under the relevant Ancillary Agreement) and senior management personnel, such Dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 10.6 (provided, that, the Negotiation Period shall be deemed to have run). Any disputed amount under this Section 4.2(e) shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Dispute has been finally resolved. For clarity, Service Recipient or, as applicable, relevant Subsidiary of Service Recipient shall pay any amount reflected in such Settlement Statement or, in applicable jurisdictions, Local Statement that is not in dispute pursuant to the regular process as set out in the Agreement.

(f) Service Provider and each Service Provider Party shall keep materially complete information relevant to verify the accuracy of the amounts due and payable under the applicable Ancillary Agreements (collectively, the “Transition Financial Information”). SpinCo shall have the right during the Term (no more than once annually) to request that Agreed Upon Procedures, as defined hereafter, be undertaken to verify the Transition Financial Information (a “Review”).

(i) Upon SpinCo’s written request for a Review, Parent shall, at SpinCo’s expense (including reimbursement of Parent’s costs and expenses, including for time and effort spent with respect to all reasonable internal support provided), cause a mutually agreed upon independent public accounting firm to (a) review such records to verify the

-18-

Transition Financial Information (for a reasonable period during the Term within the relevant calendar year, specified by SpinCo) and (b) provide to SpinCo and Parent a report (the “Report”) reasonably detailing their findings in connection with performing the specified procedures, including as applicable any amount of overpayment or underpayment by either Party, as applicable (collectively the “Agreed Upon Procedures”). The Report shall be considered Confidential Information of both Parties.

(ii) If such Report reveals any overpayment or underpayment by either Party, Parent shall (i) reflect such amounts as a credit/debit (as appropriate) in the next monthly Settlement Statement or, if Parent is no longer delivering and remitting payments via Settlement Statements, the relevant Party shall remit the applicable amount within thirty (30) days following receipt of such Report.

Section 4.3. Taxes.

(a) All Service Fees payable under this Agreement shall be exclusive of any sales, use, value-added, transfer, goods and services, consumption, excise, service, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation or other similar Taxes. Without limiting any provision of this Agreement, Service Recipient shall pay and be responsible for any and all sales, use, value-added, transfer, goods and services, consumption, excise, service, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation or other similar Taxes imposed or assessed with respect to the provision of Transition Services by Service Provider (“Indirect Taxes”). Service Provider shall issue proper invoices usable by Service Recipient to recover (by way of credit or refund) Indirect Taxes in jurisdictions where they are recoverable. Service Provider and Service Recipient shall cooperate to minimize any Indirect Taxes and in obtaining any refund, return or rebate, or in applying for an exemption or zero-rating for Transition Services giving rise to any Indirect Taxes, including by filing any exemption or other similar forms or providing a valid tax identification number or other relevant registration numbers, certificates or other documents.

(b) All payments of Service Fees shall be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding for Taxes except to the extent Service Recipient is required to deduct or withhold Taxes by applicable Law. To the extent Service Recipient is required to deduct and withhold Tax in connection with a payment of Service Fees under this Agreement, Service Recipient shall timely pay over such deducted and withheld amounts to the applicable Tax Authority and promptly provide Service Provider with evidence of such payment as requested. Where a relief, waiver or reduction of any deduction or withholding is available under applicable Law, Service Provider and Service Recipient shall cooperate to obtain such Tax exemption from the relevant Tax Authority.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

Section 8.1. Exclusions of Liability.

(a) Unless explicitly set out otherwise in this Agreement, no Party, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall be liable in connection with this Agreement for any punitive, incidental, consequential, exemplary, special or indirect, speculative, not reasonably foreseeable or similar damages, including any loss of future revenue, profits, income, or anticipated savings, loss of business reputation, goodwill or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, diminution of value or based on any type of multiple; provided, this sentence does not preclude such Damages to the extent actually owed with respect to a Third-Party Claim or caused by, resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with (i) any fraudulent acts or omissions, (ii) a breach of Section 10.9, or (iii) solely with respect to such damages incurred by Parent or any of its Affiliates, the use of the 3M Trademark by SpinCo or its Affiliates or licensees, including breach of license terms, damages to the 3M Trademark itself or the infringing use of the 3M Trademark. The limitations of this Section 8.1(a) apply regardless of whether the damages are based on breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort, or any other legal or equitable theory.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Service Provider nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability towards Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates or Indemnified Persons for (a) any failure to perform the Transition Services or Migration Support or any of its obligations hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or (b) any Damages or inconveniences incurred by Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates or Indemnified Persons, in each case ((a) and (b)) to the extent caused by, relating to, or arising out of or in connection with (i) Service Recipient’s or any of its Affiliates’ acts, omissions, or breach of this Agreement or failure to satisfy any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) Service Recipient’s or any of its Affiliates’ implementation, execution, use or exploitation of any of the services (including the Transition Services), products (including product liability claims) or other deliverables received by or benefits (including usage rights) granted to Service Recipient or its Affiliates under or in accordance with this Agreement, (iii) Service Recipient’s or any of its Affiliates’ manner of operating or conducting Service Recipient’s business (including the operations or systems) if operated or conducted materially differently than the manner in which Service Recipient’s business was operated or conducted immediately prior to the Initial Distribution, (iv) any transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than the provision of the Transition Services or Service Provider’s other express obligations set out in this Agreement, or (v) Service Provider’s actions or inactions in connection with any deliverables, benefits or transactions pursuant to (i) through (v) or that were caused by specifications or directions provided by Service Recipient, except, in each case, to the extent caused by Service Provider’s or its Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 8.2. Limitations of Liability.

(a) Subject to Section 8.3 below, Service Provider’s and its Affiliates’ aggregate maximum liability in connection with this Agreement, the Transition Services or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall not exceed in the aggregate in any calendar year, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the gross amount of Service Fees paid or payable in aggregate by Service Recipient for all Transition Services rendered in that calendar year. In addition, any liability of Service Provider (and its Affiliates) under this Agreement shall be subject to and count against the Maximum Transition Agreement Cap. Service Recipient acknowledges that the liability caps described in this Section 8.2 are fair and reasonable. For the avoidance of doubt, the liability caps under this Section 8.2(a) shall be calculated based on the gross amount of Service Fees paid or payable under this Agreement, not the net amount of payments made pursuant to the Settlement Statement.

(b) Notice of any claim under this Agreement shall be in writing and made reasonably promptly after becoming aware of such claim, but in no event later than one (1) month after the date of termination or expiration of the Transition Service giving rise to the claim and such claim must specify the Damages amount claimed and a reasonable description of the action (including, as applicable, the Transition Service) giving rise to the claim.

(c) The limitation of liability of this Section 8.2 is independent of, and survives, any failure of the essential purpose of any limited or exclusive remedy under this Agreement.

(d) If and to the extent that Service Provider’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any breach of this Agreement is caused by the act or omission of a Third Party Provider used by Service Provider for the provision of Existing Third Party Services, Service Provider shall not be responsible, liable or otherwise considered as being in breach of this Agreement, provided that Service Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to exercise and enforce its contractual rights and seek to claim any available contractual remedies in respect of the relevant act or omission of the Third Party Provider, and pass-on to Service Recipient an equitable and proportionate share of the damages or similar amounts. Alternatively, Service Provider may, in its sole discretion, assign to Service Recipient any Damage claims that it may assert against the relevant Third Party Provider in relation to Service Recipient’s Damage. In case the act or omission of the Third Party Provider that caused the Damage also caused prejudice to Service Provider’s own business (or that of its Affiliates), the distribution shall be limited to a reasonable pro rata share. For clarity, in case of Damages caused by acts or omissions by Third Party Providers involved in the provision of New Subcontracted Services, this Section 8.2(d) shall not apply.

Section 8.3. Unlimited Liability. The limitations of liability pursuant to Section 8.2 shall not apply to:

(a) any fraudulent, grossly negligent or willful acts or omissions by a Party;

(b) either Party’s breach of Section 10.9;

-23-

(d) Service Provider’s liability to pass-on any sums or other benefits it is able to recover from a Third Party Provider involved in the performance of Existing Third Party Services under Section 8.2(d); for clarity, any such recovered sums or benefits shall not count against the liability cap set out in Section 8.2(a); and

(e) SpinCo’s liability for Damages incurred by Parent in relation to the use of the 3M Trademark by SpinCo or its Affiliates or licensees, including breach of license terms, damages to the 3M Trademark itself or the infringing use of the 3M Trademark.

Section 8.4. Disclaimer of Warranties and Acknowledgment. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, WITH RESPECT TO THE NATURE AND QUALITY OF TRANSITION SERVICES UNDER SECTION 2.3, SERVICE PROVIDER (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS LICENSORS) MAKES NO WARRANTY OR CONDITION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO (a) THE NATURE, CONDITION OR QUALITY OF ANY TRANSITION SERVICE OR ANY PRODUCT, MATERIALS, COMPONENTS, INFORMATION, DATA, OR SERVICES OBTAINED OR PROVIDED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR (b) THE RESULTS THAT WILL BE OBTAINED BY USING, RECEIVING, OR APPLYING ANY SUCH TRANSITION SERVICE OR PRODUCT, MATERIALS, COMPONENTS, INFORMATION, DATA, OR SERVICES, IN EACH CASE INCLUDING ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY, ACCURACY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SERVICE PROVIDER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR CONDITION THAT ANY TRANSITION SERVICE OR PRODUCT, MATERIALS, COMPONENTS, INFORMATION, DATA, OR SERVICES OBTAINED OR PROVIDED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT COMPLIES WITH ANY LAW OR ORDER. SERVICE RECIPIENT EXPRESSLY AFFIRMS THAT IT IS NOT RELYING ON ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF SERVICE PROVIDER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES TO THE DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION 8.4. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IN NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL SERVICE RECIPIENT BE ENTITLED TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF IN CONNECTION WITH ANY BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH HEREUNDER OR OTHER CLAIM ARISING HEREUNDER.

Section 8.5. Other Liability Terms.

(a) With respect to any Damages arising under this Agreement, each Party agrees that it shall only seek to recover for such Damages from the other Party, and each Party hereby waives the right to seek recovery for such Damages from or equitable remedies against any the other Party’s Affiliates and each of their respective past, present or future officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assignees and Representatives.
