Services

SECTION 2.01. Provision of Services. (a) Commencing immediately after the Distribution, TWX shall, and shall cause the applicable members of the TWX Group to, (i) provide to Time and the applicable members of the Time Group the Services set forth in Schedule A and (ii) pay, perform, discharge and satisfy, as and when due, its and their respective obligations as Service Recipients under this Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Commencing immediately after the Distribution, Time shall, and shall cause the other members of the Time Group to, (i) provide to TWX and the applicable members of the TWX Group the Services set forth in Schedule B and (ii) pay, perform, discharge and satisfy, as and when due, its and their respective obligations as Service Recipients under this Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Each Service Recipient and its respective Service Provider shall cooperate in good faith with each other in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder. Each of TWX and Time, in its capacity as a Service Provider, agrees to appoint one of its respective employees (each such employee, a “Service Manager”) who will have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the delivery of Services, including making available the services of appropriately qualified employees and resources to enable the provision of the Services. The Service Managers will consult and coordinate with each other regarding the provision of Services.

(d) The Service Provider shall determine the personnel who shall perform the Services to be provided by it. The Service Provider 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 a Service Recipient shall be deemed to be, or have any rights as, an employee of such Service Recipient. All overhead and personnel necessary to the Services to be provided by each Service Provider hereunder shall be such Service Provider’s sole responsibility and shall be at such Service Provider’s sole cost and expense. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01, no Service Provider shall have the authority to bind the Service Recipient by contract or otherwise.

(e) The Service Provider may, at its option, from time to time, delegate any or all of its obligations to perform Services under this Agreement to any one or more of its Affiliates; provided, however, that such Affiliate(s) are capable of performing such Services without a material diminution in quality. In addition, the Service Provider 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, however, that (i) the Service Provider shall remain ultimately responsible for ensuring that its obligations with respect to the nature, scope and quality of the Services described in this Section 2.01 are satisfied with respect to any Services

provided by any such Sub-Contractor and (ii) such Sub-Contractor agrees in writing to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive to it as the terms of Section 8.05 of this Agreement. Except as agreed by the Parties in Schedule A or Schedule B or otherwise in writing, any costs associated with engaging the services of an Affiliate of the Service Provider or a Sub-Contractor shall not affect the Cost of Services payable by the Service Recipient under this Agreement, and the Service Provider shall remain solely responsible with respect to payment for such Affiliate’s or Sub-Contractor’s costs, fees and expenses.

(f) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Services shall be (i) performed by the Service Provider in a reasonably prompt and professional manner that is substantially the same manner, scope, nature and quality in which the Service Provider provided the Services (or substantially similar services) prior to the Distribution for the Service Recipient, unless the Services are being provided by a Sub-Contractor who is also providing the same services to the Service Provider or a member of such Service Provider’s Group, in which case the Services shall be performed for the Service Recipient in the same manner, scope, nature and quality as they are being performed for the Service Provider or such member of such Service Provider’s Group, as applicable, and (ii) used by the Service Recipient for substantially the same purpose, in substantially the same manner as, and at no higher level than, the Service Recipient used the Services (or substantially similar services) from the Service Provider prior to the Distribution.

(g) The Parties acknowledge that the Service Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing Services if the Service Provider is making similar changes in performing the same or substantially similar Services for itself or other members of its Group; provided, however, that, unless expressly contemplated in Schedule A or Schedule B, such changes shall not affect the Cost of Services for such Service or materially decrease the quality or level of the Services provided to the Service Recipient, except upon prior written approval of the Service Recipient.

(h) Except to the extent a Party determines it to be necessary for the provision of Services or as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement or Schedule A or Schedule B, in the context of the provision of the Services hereunder, neither Party shall grant to the other Party, and neither Party shall have, access to any competitively sensitive information or confidential information (including personal data).

(i) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the provision of any Service by any Service Provider to any Service Recipient if the provision of such Service requires the Consent of any Person (including any Governmental Authority), whether under applicable Law, by the terms of any contract to which such Service Provider or any other member of its Group is a party or otherwise, unless and until, subject to the third-to-last sentence of this Section 2.01(i), such Consent has been obtained. The Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as possible any Consent of any Person that may be necessary for the performance of the Service Provider’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Any fees, expenses or extra costs incurred in connection with obtaining any such Consents shall be paid by the Service Recipient, and the Service Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide assistance as

necessary in obtaining such Consents. In the event that the Consent of any Person, if required in order for the Service Provider to provide Services, is not obtained reasonably promptly after the Distribution, the Service Provider shall notify the Service Recipient and the Parties shall cooperate in devising an alternative manner for the provision of the Services affected by such failure to obtain such Consent and the Cost of Services associated therewith, such alternative manner and Cost of Services to be reasonably satisfactory to both Parties and agreed to in writing. If the Parties elect such an alternative plan, the Service Provider shall provide the Services in such alternative manner and the Service Recipient shall pay for such Services based on the alternative Cost of Services. The Services shall not include, and no Service Provider shall be obligated to provide, any service the provision of which to a Service Recipient following the Distribution would constitute a violation of any Law. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Service Provider will not be required to perform or to cause to be performed any of the Services for the benefit of any third party or any other Person other than the applicable Service Recipient.

(j) The Service Recipient hereby grants to the Service Provider performing Services under this Agreement a limited, nontransferable license, without the right to sublicense (except to an Affiliate or a Sub-Contractor who is providing Services on the Service Provider’s behalf, solely to the extent necessary for such Affiliate or Sub-Contractor to provide the Services), for the term of this Agreement, to use the intellectual property owned by the Service Recipient solely to the extent necessary for the Service Provider to perform its obligations hereunder. Subject to the terms of the Separation Agreement, (i) each Service Provider 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 the Service Recipient’s exclusive use and such work product shall remain the exclusive property of the Service Recipient and (ii) each Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that it will acquire no right, title or interest (other than a non-exclusive, perpetual worldwide right of use) to any work product resulting from the provision of Services hereunder that is not for the Service Recipient’s exclusive use and such work product shall remain the exclusive property of the Service Provider. The parties shall mutually agree upon and designate, in writing, work product created for a Service Recipient’s exclusive use and work product created for a Service Recipient’s non-exclusive use.

(k) Subject to Sections 2.02 and 3.02, the Parties agree that the Services set forth in Schedule A and Schedule B constitute all of the Services to be provided by members of the TWX Group and members of the Time Group, respectively, as of the Distribution Date.

SECTION 2.02. Service Amendments and Additions.

(a) From time to time during the term, each of TWX and Time may request the other Party (i) to provide additional (including as to volume, amount, level or frequency, as applicable) or different services which the other Party is not expressly obligated to provide under this Agreement if such services are of the type and scope provided within the TWX Group or the Time Group, or between the TWX Group and the

Time Group, in each case during fiscal year 2013 or (ii) expand the scope of any Service (such additional or expanded services, the “Additional Services”). The Party receiving such request for Additional Services shall consider such request in good faith and shall notify the requesting Party as promptly as practicable as to whether it will or will not provide the Additional Services.

(b) If a Party agrees to provide Additional Services pursuant to Section 2.02(a), then a representative of each Party shall in good faith negotiate an amendment to Schedule A and/or Schedule B, as applicable, which will describe in detail the service or service category, as applicable, project scope, term, price and payment terms to be charged for such Additional Services. Once agreed to in writing, the amendment to Schedule A and/or Schedule B, as applicable, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of such date and the Additional Services shall be deemed “Services” or “Service Categories”, as applicable, provided hereunder, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03. No Management Authority. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Service Provider shall be authorized by, or shall have responsibility under, this Agreement to manage the affairs of the business of any Service Recipient.

ARTICLE III

Compensation

SECTION 3.01. Compensation for Services. (a) As compensation for each Service rendered pursuant to this Agreement, the Service Recipient shall be required to pay to the Service Provider the Cost of Services specified for such Service in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable.

(b) The amount of any actual and documented sales tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax or similar tax that is required to be assessed and remitted by the Service Provider in connection with the Services provided hereunder (“Taxes”) will be promptly paid to the Service Provider by the Service Recipient in accordance with Section 3.03. Such payment shall be in addition to the Cost of Services set forth in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable (unless such Tax is expressly already accounted for in the applicable Cost of Services).

SECTION 3.02. Adjustments to Cost of Services. If at any time following the date of this Agreement, the Parties mutually agree to add any Additional Services pursuant to Section 2.02, then concurrently with the addition of such Additional Services, the Parties shall work in good faith to amend Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, to reflect such Additional Services and the related Cost of Services.

SECTION 3.03. Payment Terms. (a) The Service Provider shall ▇▇▇▇ the Service Recipient monthly, within twenty (20) business days after the end of each month, or at such other interval specified with respect to a particular Service in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, an amount equal to the aggregate Cost of Services due for all

Services provided in such month or other specified interval, as applicable, plus any Taxes. Invoices shall be directed to the Service Manager appointed by TWX or Time, as applicable, or to such other Person designated in writing from time to time by such Service Manager. The Service Recipient shall pay such amount in full within sixty (60) days after receipt of each invoice by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Service Provider for this purpose. Each invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the charges and amounts and applicable Taxes, for each Service during the month or other specified interval to which such invoice relates.

(b) If a Service Recipient has any objection to the amount of any invoice, the Service Recipient shall notify the Service Provider in writing and the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to promptly resolve such objection and, pending resolution thereof, the Service Recipient can withhold amounts that are being so disputed in good faith. Following resolution of the objection, the Service Provider will be entitled to prompt payment of any amounts so determined by the Parties to be due to the Service Provider.

SECTION 3.04. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. THE SERVICES 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. NO MEMBER OF THE TWX GROUP OR OF THE TIME GROUP, AS SERVICE PROVIDER, MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT ANY SERVICE COMPLIES WITH ANY LAW, DOMESTIC OR FOREIGN.

SECTION 3.05. Books and Records. TWX and Time shall each maintain complete and accurate books of account as necessary to support calculations of the Cost of Services for Services rendered by it or the other members of its Group as Service Providers and shall make such books available to the other, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours; provided, however, that to the extent TWX’s or Time’s books contain Information relating to any other aspect of the TWX Business or the Time Business, as applicable, TWX and Time shall negotiate a procedure to provide the other Party with necessary access while preserving the confidentiality of such other records.

The termination of this Agreement with respect to any Service pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall not affect the Parties’ rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to any other Service.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or Schedule A or Schedule B, upon not less than (i) ninety (90) days’ prior written notice a Service Provider may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Service Category or Service if such Service Provider or its Affiliates cease to provide such Service Category or Service to members of such Service Provider’s Group and (ii) thirty (30) days’ prior written notice a Service Recipient shall be entitled to terminate one or more Services being provided by any Service Provider for any reason or no reason at all.

(c) In the event of any termination of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to any Service Category or Service, each Party, Service Provider and Service Recipient shall remain liable for all of their respective obligations that accrued hereunder prior to the date of such termination, including all obligations of each Service Recipient to pay any amounts due to any Service Provider hereunder.

SECTION 4.03. Return of Books, Records and Files. Upon the request of the Service Recipient after the termination of a Service with respect to which the Service Provider holds books, records or files, including current and archived copies of computer files, (i) owned solely by the Service Recipient or its Affiliates and used by the Service Provider in connection with the provision of a Service pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) created by the Service Provider and in the Service Provider’s possession as a function of and relating solely to the provision of Services pursuant to this Agreement, such books, records and files shall either be returned to the Service Recipient or destroyed by the Service Provider, with certification of such destruction provided to the Service Recipient. The Service Provider shall return or destroy, as applicable, all of such books, records or files as soon as reasonably practicable following a request by the Service Recipient; provided, however, that in the event that certain of such books, records or files stored in electronic form cannot reasonably or practicably be returned or destroyed, as applicable, the Service Provider agrees to maintain copies of the applicable books, records or files for the minimum amount of time permitted by the systems storing such data and not to use such data for any other purposes. The Service Recipient shall bear the Service Provider’s reasonable, necessary and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the return or destruction of such books, records or files. At its expense, the Service Provider may make one copy of such books, records or files for its legal files.

PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS) AS A RESULT OF ANY BREACH, PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE BY SUCH SERVICE PROVIDER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT AS MAY BE PAYABLE TO A CLAIMANT IN A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM.

Promptly upon the actual receipt of any such Insurance Proceeds, such Service Provider shall pay such Insurance Proceeds to the applicable Indemnitee to the extent of the Liability arising out of the applicable Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitee shall, upon the request of such Service Provider and to the extent permitted under such Service Provider’s applicable insurance policies, promptly pay directly to such Service Provider or to such Service Provider’s insurer any reasonable costs or expenses incurred in the collection of such Indemnitee’s portion of such Insurance Proceeds (including such Indemnitee’s portion of applicable retentions or deductibles); provided, however, that in no event shall an Indemnitee’s portion of such collection costs and expenses, applicable retentions and deductibles exceed the amount of Insurance Proceeds actually received by such Indemnitee.

Each Party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction, forum and venue of the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York over any and all claims, disputes, controversies or disagreements between the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors and assigns under or related to this Agreement or any document executed pursuant to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

SECTION 8.08. Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement without consent in connection with (a) a merger transaction in which such Party is not the surviving entity and the surviving entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Party’s assets or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s assets; provided, however, that the assignee expressly assumes in writing all of the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement, and the assigning Party provides written notice and evidence of such assignment and assumption to the non-assigning Party. No assignment permitted by this Section 8.08 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 8.08 shall affect or impair a Service Provider’s ability to delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement to one or more members of its Group or Sub-Contractors pursuant to Section 2.01(e).

SECTION 8.09. Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnification rights under this Agreement of any TWX Indemnitee or Time Indemnitee in their respective capacities as such, (a) the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and are not intended to confer upon any Person except the Parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder and (b) there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any third Person with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

SECTION 8.10. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be provided in the manner set forth in the Separation Agreement.

SECTION 8.11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon any such determination, any such provision, to the extent determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, shall be deemed replaced by a provision that such court determines is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

SECTION 8.12. Headings. The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.13. Waivers of Default. No failure or delay of any Party (or the applicable member of its Group) in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Waiver by any Party hereto of any default by the other Party hereto of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default.

SECTION 8.14. Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by any Party hereto, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of each Party.

SECTION 8.15. Interpretation. The rules of interpretation set forth in Section 12.14 of the Separation Agreement are incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
