legally compelled to disclose such confidential information, disclosure of such

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The covenants in this Section 6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement
indefinitely with respect to information qualifying as a trade secret under
applicable law and for a period of three years from the date such termination

SECTION 7. TERM.

7.1 Duration.

(a) Subject to Sections 6, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4, the term of this Agreement shall
commence on the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect with
respect to each Service until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the duration
or term period assigned to such Service on Schedule A or Schedule B (if no
duration or term period is assigned to such Service on Schedule A or Schedule B,
then the expiration date for such Service shall be the eighteen month
anniversary of the date hereof), or (ii) the termination of such Service in
accordance with Section 7.1(b).

(b) Each party acknowledges that the purpose of this Agreement is for Parent to
provide the Parent Services to SpinCo on an interim basis until SpinCo can
perform the Parent Services for itself, and for SpinCo to provide the SpinCo
Services to Parent on an interim basis until Parent can perform the SpinCo
Services for itself. Accordingly, each of Parent and SpinCo shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to make or obtain such approvals, permits and
licenses and implement such systems, as shall be necessary for it to provide the
appropriate Services for itself as promptly as practicable. As SpinCo becomes
self-sufficient or engages other sources to provide any Parent Service, SpinCo
shall be entitled to release Parent from providing any or all of the Parent
Services hereunder by delivering a written notice thereof to Parent at least 30
days prior to the effective date of release of such Parent Service(s). At the
end of such 30 day period (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the
parties), Parent shall discontinue the provision of the Parent Services
specified in such notice and any such Parent Services shall be excluded from
this Agreement, and Schedule A shall be deemed to be amended accordingly. As
Parent becomes self-sufficient or engages other sources to provide any SpinCo
Service, Parent shall be entitled to release SpinCo from providing any or all of
the SpinCo Services hereunder by delivering a written notice thereof to SpinCo
at least 30 days. At the end of such 30 day period (or such shorter period as
may be agreed by the parties), SpinCo shall discontinue the provision of the
SpinCo Services specified in such notice and any such SpinCo Services shall be
excluded from this Agreement, and Schedule B shall be deemed to be amended
accordingly. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if
SpinCo delivers a notice under this Section 7.1(b) with respect to Parent
Services provided under the heading “Employee Benefits” or “ADP” on Schedule A,
then SpinCo shall reimburse Parent for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by Parent as a result of such action by SpinCo.

7.2 Early Termination by Parent.

(a) Parent may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to SpinCo if
SpinCo shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations
under, or breach any of its warranties set forth in, this Agreement, and such
default or breach shall continue and not be

 

- 6 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

remedied for a period of 30 days after Parent has given written notice to SpinCo
specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied.

(b) In lieu of exercising any rights it may have under Section 7.2(a) above,
Parent may terminate the provision of any SpinCo Service (and Schedule B shall
be deemed amended accordingly) by giving written notice to SpinCo if SpinCo
shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations with respect
to such SpinCo Service, and such default shall continue and not be remedied for
a period of 30 days after Parent has given written notice to SpinCo specifying
such default and requiring it to be remedied.

7.3 Early Termination by SpinCo.

(a) SpinCo may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Parent if
Parent shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations
under, or breach any of its warranties set forth in, this Agreement and such
default or breach shall continue and not be remedied for a period of 30 days
after SpinCo has given written notice to Parent specifying such default or
breach and requiring it to be remedied.

(b) In lieu of exercising any rights it may have under Section 7.3(a) above,
SpinCo may terminate the provision of any Parent Service (and Schedule A shall
be deemed amended accordingly) by giving written notice to Parent if Parent
shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations with respect
to such Parent Service, and such default shall continue and not be remedied for
a period of 30 days after SpinCo has given written notice to Parent specifying
such default and requiring it to be remedied.

7.4 Suspension Due to Force Majeure. In the event the performance by SpinCo or
Parent of their respective duties or obligations hereunder is interrupted or
interfered with by reason of any cause beyond its reasonable control, including
fire, storm, flood, earthquake, explosion, war, strike or labor disruption,
rebellion, insurrection, quarantine, act of God, boycott, embargo, shortage or
unavailability of supplies, riot, or governmental law, regulation or edict
(collectively, the “Force Majeure Events”), the party affected by such Force
Majeure Event shall not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement by reason
of its nonperformance due to such Force Majeure Event, but shall give prompt
written notice to the other party of the Force Majeure Event. The party affected
by the Force Majeure Event shall cooperate with the other party in obtaining, at
the other party’s sole expense, an alternative source for the affected Services,
and the other party shall be released from any payment obligation to the party
affected by the Force Majeure Event with respect to such Services during the
period of such Force Majeure Event. Additionally, upon and during the occurrence
of a Force Majeure Event, at the sole option of the party receiving the Services
affected by the Force Majeure Event, the term of this Agreement shall be tolled
with respect to any Services that are not being provided by a third party.

7.5 Consequences on Termination. In the event this Agreement expires or is
terminated in accordance with this Section 7, then (a) all Services to be
provided will promptly cease, (b) each of Parent and SpinCo shall promptly
return all confidential information received from the other party in connection

received with respect to the Services or products of Parent or SpinCo, as the
case may be), without retaining a copy thereof, and (c) each of Parent and

other party as required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and no rights
already accrued hereunder shall be affected.

SECTION 8. RECORDS; SOX ACCESS.

six (6) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, maintain
full and accurate books in connection with the provision of the Services, and
all other records relevant to this Agreement, and upon reasonable notice from
the other party shall make available for inspection and copy by such other
party’s agents such records during reasonable business hours.

(b) SOX Access.

 

  (i) Upon request of either party, with reasonable advance notice, the
non-requesting party shall provide reasonable access to its books, records,
accountants, accountants’ work papers, personnel and facilities for the purpose
of the requesting party’s testing and verification of the effectiveness of the
other party’s controls with respect to the Services as is reasonably necessary
to enable the management of the requesting party to comply with its obligations
under §404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder (collectively,
“SOX §404”) and to enable the requesting party’s independent public accounting
firm to attest to and report on the assessment of the management of the
requesting party in accordance with SOX §404 and Auditing Standard No. 2, or as
required by the requesting party’s external auditors. In lieu of providing such
access, a party may, in its sole discretion, instead furnish the requesting
party with a type II SAS 70 report. A party is not required to furnish a
requesting party access to any information other than information that relates
specifically to the Services.

 

  (ii) Without limiting the generality of, and in order to give effect to, the
foregoing provisions of Section 8(b)(i):

 

  A. the parties will cooperate, prior to the Distribution Date and from time to
time thereafter, to identify the significant processes of each other for
purposes of Auditing Standard No. 2 and used by a party in connection with the
provision of the Services to each other under this Agreement;

 

  B.

to the extent not already in place, the parties will develop and maintain
comprehensive procedures to adequately test,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

evaluate and document the design and effectiveness of its controls over their
significant processes;

 

  C. in the event any deficiencies are found as a result of the testing, the
parties will cooperate in good faith to develop and implement commercially
reasonable action plans and timetables to remedy such deficiencies and/or
implement adequate compensating controls;

 

  D. in connection with providing the access contemplated by Section 8(b)(i),
the parties will cooperate and assist their respective auditors in performing
any process walkthroughs and process testing that such auditors may reasonably
request of the significant processes; and

 

  E. in the event that Sections 8(b)(ii)A-D do not reasonably enable a party to
comply with its obligations under SOX §404 and enable a party’s registered
public accounting firm to attest to and report on the assessment by the
management of the party in accordance with SOX §404 and Auditing Standard No. 2,
then upon reasonable notice, a party will be permitted to conduct, at its own
expense, an independent audit of the other party’s controls with respect to the
Services solely to the extent necessary to accomplish such purpose or purposes.
