Subject to Section 2.04(b), upon the expiration of each applicable Service Period, the obligation of Provider with respect to the provision of the applicable Service shall automatically and immediately terminate (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not waive or release Provider or any

member of its Group from any liability or obligation that accrued prior to the end of any applicable Service Period). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Services” shall mean the services set forth on the Schedule to be provided, or caused to be provided, by Provider to Recipient pursuant to this Agreement; “Provider” shall mean the party, or member of such party’s Group, providing, or causing to be provided, Services to the other party or the members of such party’s Group under this Agreement and “Recipient” shall mean the party, or member of such party’s Group, receiving, directly or indirectly, Services from the other party or the members of such party’s Group under this Agreement. Recipient acknowledges that Provider may provide the applicable Services directly, through any of its Affiliates or through one or more third parties engaged by Provider to provide Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (each such third party, a “Third-Party Service Provider”).

(b) After the date hereof, the parties may by mutual written agreement identify additional services that Provider will provide, or cause to be provided, to Recipient in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Additional Services”). If the parties mutually agree to add any Additional Services pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), the parties will amend the Schedules to include each such Additional Service and all applicable terms in respect of such Additional Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Recipient shall, at the request of Provider in consultation with Recipient from time to time and without further consideration, execute and deliver such powers of attorney, acknowledgments, assurances, consents and other documents as may be reasonably necessary for Provider to satisfy and perform its obligations hereunder.

Section 2.02. Service Migration. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Services are being provided on a transition basis in order to allow the applicable Recipient a period of time to obtain similar services for itself and the members of its Group, and that no party hereto is a commercial provider of any such Services. Each party hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to end its use of each and every Service as soon as reasonably practicable, and each applicable Provider shall assist the applicable Recipient in connection with the transition from the performance of Services by Provider to the performance of such Services by Recipient, which may include assistance with the transfer of records, migration of historical data, the transition of any such Service from the hardware, software, network and telecommunications equipment and internet-related information technology infrastructure. In no event shall the applicable Provider be responsible for providing any services in connection with, or bearing any costs of, any such migration, except in connection with the previous sentence or as set forth on any Schedule to this Agreement.

Section 2.03. Standard of Performance; Third-Party Consents; Service Enhancements. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or cause to be provided, the Services to Recipient at a quality level and in the same manner as such Service has been provided to Recipient and the members of its Group immediately prior to the Separation Date or, if any such Service was not provided during such period, Provider will provide such

Services in a professional and workmanlike manner, but in each case, exercising at least the same care and skill as Provider exercises in performing similar services for itself or for the members of its Group;provided that nothing in this Agreement shall require Provider to perform, or caused to be performed, any Service or to take, or refrain from taking, any action, if the provision of such Service or the taking, or refraining from taking, of such action by Provider would be reasonably likely to result in any breach or violation of any applicable Law or any license, lease, Contract or other agreement with any third party (including any software or information technology license or service agreement);provided,however that Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any such third party (at Recipient’s sole cost and expense) required for the provision of such Services to the Recipient or the members of its Group by the Provider;provided,further that in the event such consent cannot be obtained, the parties shall work together in good faith and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to (in each case, at Recipient’s sole cost and expense) arrange for alternative methods of delivery of such Service.

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND THAT PROVIDER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ANDNON-INFRINGEMENT WHICH ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED.

(c) It is understood and agreed that Provider may from time to time modify, change or enhance the manner, nature, quality and/or standard of care of any Service provided to Recipient or the members of its Group to the extent Provider is making a similar change in the performance of services similar to such Services for Provider or the members of its Group or to the extent that such change is in connection with the relocation of Provider’s employees;provided that any such modification, change or enhancement will not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the provision of such Service in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2.03(a).

Section 2.04. Term; Discontinuation or Extension of Services; Termination; Effect of Termination. (a) The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will commence on the Separation Date and end on the earliest to occur of: (i) the last date on which a Provider is obligated to provide any Service to a Recipient pursuant to this Agreement and the Schedules, and (ii) the mutual written agreement of the parties to terminate this Agreement (and all Services hereunder) in its entirety.

(b) Subject to this Section 2.04(b), any Service may be discontinued or extended upon the mutual written consent of the parties, and, in such case, the applicable Schedule shall be amended in writing as soon as practicable to either delete such Service and terminate the applicable Service Period as of such date (and this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect for such Service, except as to obligations accrued prior to

the date of discontinuation of such Service), or to extend the Service Period for the duration of such extension, as applicable. Recipient may discontinue any Service by providing advance written notice to Provider (a “Termination Notice”) either 90 days in advance of the proposed date of termination or in accordance with the termination procedures set forth with respect to such Service on the Schedules under the column entitled “Termination Notice Period”, and in either case subject to Provider’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) with respect to such termination;provided that in the case in which an aggregate cost is set forth on any applicable Schedule for a group of Services, no individual or line item Service within such group may be terminated without the termination of all of the other Services within such group;provided, further that Recipient shall be responsible for any Residual Costs incurred by reason of such termination. Upon any discontinuation in accordance with this Section 2.04(b), (i) all accrued and unpaid Service Fees or other amounts payable in respect of the applicable Services to be discontinued shall be due and payable no later than sixty (60) days following the date of such discontinuation and shall be paid by Recipient to Provider in accordance with Article III and (ii) Recipient’s obligation to pay for such discontinued Service beyond the specified discontinuation date will terminate (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not waive or release the Recipient or any member of its Group from any Liability that accrued prior to any applicable discontinuation).

(c) Either party (the “Terminating Party”) may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by notice in writing to the other party (the “Other Party”) on or at any time after the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) the Other Party is in default of any of its material obligations (for the avoidance of doubt, all of a Recipient’s obligations under Section 3.01 of this Agreement shall be deemed material obligations) under this Agreement and (if the breach is capable of being cured) has failed to cure the breach within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of notice in writing from the Terminating Party giving particulars of the breach and requiring the Other Party to cure such breach (provided that the cure period for any breach of Recipient’s obligations under Section 3.01 of this Agreement shall be thirty (30) calendar days after the occurrence of such breach);

(ii) the Other Party commences a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking bankruptcy protection, liquidation, reorganization or similar relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or seeks the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or consents to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or fails generally to pay its debts as they become due, or takes any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing; or

(iii) an involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against the Other Party seeking bankruptcy protection, liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or seeks the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of sixty (60) calendar days or an order for relief shall be entered against the Other Party.

(d) In the event of termination of this Agreement in its entirety pursuant to this Section 2.04, or upon the expiration of the Term, this Agreement shall cease to have further force or effect, and neither Party shall have any liability to the other Party with respect to this Agreement;provided that:

(i) termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not release a party from any liability or obligation that already has accrued as of the effective date of such termination or expiration, as applicable, and shall not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise be deemed to adversely affect, any rights, remedies or claims which a Party may have hereunder at Law, in equity or otherwise or which may arise out of or in connection with such termination or expiration;

(ii) all accrued and unpaid Service Fees or other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be due and payable as soon as practicable upon, but in no event later than 60 days following, the termination of this Agreement and shall be paid by Recipient to Provider in accordance with Article III; and

(iii) this Section 2.04, Section 2.10 (Books and Records), Article IV (Indemnity) and Article VII (Miscellaneous) shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 2.05. Service Levels. Subject to any applicable service levels set out in the Schedules (the “Service Levels”), Provider shall perform each Service in all material respects in accordance with past practice; provided that Provider will not be obligated to perform any Service in a volume or quantity that exceeds in any material respect the level of use reasonably required to support Recipient’s business in accordance with historical volumes (on an annualized basis) performed for Recipient’s business during calendar year 2018 to date (taking into account the monthly and seasonal changes during the last twelve-month period prior to the Separation Date). In no event shall Recipient be entitled to any increase in the level of its use of any of the Services without providing to Provider at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice for such request and obtaining the prior written consent of Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting Section 2.04 in any respect, Recipient may not decrease, without Provider’s prior written consent, the level of its use of any of the Services if such a decrease would have a material and adverse effect on Provider’s ability to provide the Services or would materially increase the cost or expense to Provider to provide such Service;provided,however that Recipient must provide at least three (3) months prior written notice to

Provider for any decrease in the level of Services that would reasonably be expected to result in reduction of force, require termination of any third-party agreements, or may require changes to Provider’s IT systems operations (e.g., related to Recipient’s IT migration efforts);provided,further that, subject to payment for Residual Costs, the applicable Service Fees shall be decreased in Provider’s reasonable discretion by the amount that Provider’s costs associated with providing such Services have reduced as a result of such reduction of Services by Recipient in the event that such cost reduction in the aggregate for all such related requests is at least ten (10%) percent of the applicable Service Fee. Such reduced Service Fees shall take effect following the later of (i) the last day of the month that is three (3) months following the receipt of such reduction of Services notice or (ii) the last day of the month in which Provider realizes such reduction of costs.

Section 2.06. Changes. Subject to Section 2.04, no Recipient shall be entitled to any change, alteration, amendment or other modification (a “Change”) without the prior written consent of Provider, which consent (in the case of Changes that are not material or that are required by Law) shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that a Recipient desires a Change, Recipient will deliver a change request (a “Change Request”) to Provider. The timing for Provider’s approval or rejection of such Change Requests shall be within a commercially reasonable time period;provided,however, in respect of any Change Requests that are required by Law then such period shall be within a period that is sufficient to meet with any deadlines and requirements imposed by Law if Recipient has given Provider reasonable advance notice of such deadlines and requirements. If a Change Request is approved, the applicable Recipient shall be responsible for all changes to associated Service Fees and reasonable and documented expenses associated with such approved Change in a manner as shall be mutually agreeable to Provider and Recipient.

Section 2.07. Maintenance. Provider may temporarily shut down for maintenance purposes the facilities providing any Service to Recipient or any member of its Group whenever such action is necessary in Provider’s reasonable discretion;provided that Provider will use reasonable best efforts to (x) provide Recipient with reasonable advance written notice of any scheduled maintenance and (y) schedule any such maintenance in consultation with Recipient so as not to unreasonably interfere in Recipient’s business. Provider shall use its reasonable best efforts to minimize the length of time any facilities providing Services remain under maintenance. During any period of shutdown of any of the facilities providing Services, Provider shall furnish to Recipient the same level and priority of Services that Provider’s own business units receive during such shutdown.

Section 2.08. Local Agreements. With respect to Services delivered in a particular country and to the extent required by applicable Law, the parties will cause the members of their respective Group in such country to enter into one or more local services agreements for the purpose of implementing this Agreement in that country.

Section 2.09. Access to Systems.

(a) Recipient shall (i) make available on a timely basis to Provider and the members of its Group and applicable Third-Party Service Providers all information and materials reasonably requested by them to enable them to provide the applicable Services to Recipient and (ii) provide to Provider and the members of its Group and applicable Third-Party Service Providers reasonable access to its premises, systems, assets, facilities and personnel during regular business hours and at such other times as reasonably requested to the extent necessary for Provider and the members of its Group and applicable Third-Party Service Providers (as applicable) to provide the applicable Services to Recipient.

(b) If as a result of the provision of the Services, employees of Provider or Recipient or any member of their respective Group or any applicable Third-Party Service Provider thereof receive access to the computer systems or software (collectively, the “Systems”) of the other Group, such persons shall access such Systems only for the limited purpose of supporting the provision of the Services and shall abide by any and all access rules and restrictions applicable to such Systems, including with respect to security and privacy, that are provided to such person in advance of such access or from time to time thereafter, and such persons shall not circumvent or attempt to circumvent any security, privacy or audit measures of Provider, Recipient or any member of their respective Group, as applicable. The parties will reasonably cooperate to ensure that only those persons who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems of Provider, Recipient or any of the members of their respective Group gain such access, and to prevent unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of information contained therein.

Section 2.10. Books and Records. Each party agrees to maintain financial, accounting, and functional (including metering) records, data and other supporting documentation consistent with its practices in the ordinary course of business to reflect the accuracy of invoiced quantities and amounts for the Services provided under this Agreement. Each Party shall retain such data and records in accordance with its respective control policies in the ordinary course of business existing from time to time and shall afford reasonable access to the other party during normal business hours to such data and records.

Section 2.11. Independent Contractor. In providing Services hereunder, Provider and its Affiliates and any Third-Party Service Providers acting on behalf of Provider shall act solely as independent contractors. Nothing herein shall constitute or be construed to be or create in any way or for any purpose a partnership, joint venture or principal-agent relationship between the parties. No party shall have any power to control the activities and/or operations of the other party. No party shall have any power or authority to bind or commit any other party. In providing the Services hereunder, Provider’s employees and agents shall not be considered employees or agents of Recipient, nor shall Provider’s employees or agents be eligible or entitled to any compensation, benefits, or perquisites (including severance) given or extended to Recipient’s employees. For the avoidance of doubt, Recipient shall be solely responsible for the operation of its businesses and the decisions and actions taken in connection therewith, and nothing contained herein shall impose any liability or responsibility on Provider with respect thereto.

ARTICLE III

SERVICE FEES

Section 3.01. Service Fees. During the Term, the Services set forth on the Schedules will be provided to Recipient and the members of its Group during the applicable Service Period and the applicable Provider shall charge the applicable Recipient the service fees for each Service as set forth in the applicable Schedule (the “Service Fees”). Without limiting the foregoing, the applicable Recipient shall reimburse the applicable Provider for (i) any reasonable and documented expenses of Provider, including any expenditures of any Third-Party Service Provider invoiced to Provider, in connection with the Services, (ii) any costs paid or payable associated with securing the consent of any third party that is required in connection with the provision of the Services, and (iii) any Residual Costs that arise from the early termination of any Service in accordance with Section 2.04 or any reduction in Services or Service Levels by Recipient in accordance with Section 2.05.

Section 3.02. Payment. Provider, or the applicable member of its Group, shall invoice Recipient, or the applicable member of its Group, each month for Services delivered and expenses incurred during the preceding month (each, an “Invoice”). Recipient shall remit payment for amounts specified in an applicable Invoice within sixty (60) calendar days after the date of the applicable Invoice.

Section 3.03. Finance Charge. If Recipient fails to make any payment on the date such payment was due to Provider in accordance with Section 3.02, a finance charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month or, if less, the maximum rate allowed by applicable Law, payable from the date prior to which such payment was required to be made in accordance with Section 3.02 to the date such payment is received by Provider, unless the failure to make such payment is a result of the failure of Provider to provide any applicable Service in respect of such payment. In addition, Recipient shall indemnify Provider for its costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred to collect any unpaid amount.

Section 3.04. Taxes. Except as expressly noted therein, the Service Fees set forth in the Schedules with respect to each Service do not include any sales, use, value added, goods and services or similar taxes, duties, levies and similar charges (collectively, and together with any interest, penalties or additions to tax imposed with respect thereto, “Taxes”). In addition to the amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement, Recipient shall pay and be responsible for any Taxes imposed with respect to the fees or the provision of Services to Recipient hereunder, unless the applicable Law provides that the relevant Taxes are levied directly on Provider; in such case Provider will pay the relevant Taxes directly to the Tax Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and Recipient shall reimburse Provider for such Taxes. All payments by Recipient to Provider for Services will be increased as necessary so that after Recipient has withheld any applicable Taxes, the amount received by Provider is equal to the amount it would have received had no such withholding been required. The parties will cooperate with each other to minimize any of these Taxes to the extent reasonable.

Section 3.05. No Right to Setoff. There shall be no right of setoff or counterclaim with respect to any claim, debt or obligation, against payments to Provider under this Agreement.
