the provision of additional transition services by Seller or its Affiliates, and

purpose of coordinating the provision of the Transition Services.
ARTICLE II
COMPENSATION FOR TRANSITION SERVICES
2.1 Fees. Except for the information to be provided by Seller to Buyer pursuant
to Section 6.16(b) of the Purchase Agreement (which shall be provided to Buyer
at no cost to Buyer or the Companies), as consideration for the Transition
Services received, Buyer shall pay to Seller for each Transition Service an
amount equal to 125% of Seller’s cost of providing such Transition Services (as
allocated in accordance with the same methodologies used for such allocations by
the Companies and their Affiliates in accordance with past practice).
2.2 Payment Terms. Seller shall present Buyer with monthly invoices for the
Transition Services it provides. The format of such invoices shall include,
without limitation, a brief description of the applicable Transition Service,
the billing period, applicable fees, and such other information as Buyer may
reasonably request to verify the amount and allocation of costs for the
Transition Services. Buyer shall pay the undisputed amount of the monthly
invoiced amount within thirty (30) days after the date Seller’s monthly invoice
was received. If Buyer in good faith disputes any portion of the amount due on
any invoice, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of the nature and basis of the
dispute as soon as commercially reasonably possible, but in all events prior to
thirty (30) days after Seller’s monthly invoice was received.
2.3 Audit Rights. Buyer shall have the right, at its expense, to conduct or
cause to be conducted a reasonable audit of the data, records or other pertinent
information specifically related to an ongoing dispute concerning the provision
of Transition Services hereunder. Buyer shall provide at least five Business

normal business hours and in such a manner so as to minimize disruptions to
Seller and its Affiliates. If Seller objects to the scope of any such audit
requested, the Parties shall work together, in good faith, to mutually reach
agreement on the proper scope of such audit.
2.4 Dispute Resolution. If Buyer raises a dispute with respect to the charges
under this Agreement within the period set forth in Section 2.2, then Buyer and
Seller shall negotiate in good faith and attempt to resolve the dispute. Should
such negotiations not result in an agreement within 60 days after receipt by
Seller of such written dispute from Buyer, then the matter shall be submitted to
the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm will deliver to
Buyer and Seller a written determination of the amounts payable under this
Agreement with respect to any such dispute (such determination to include a
worksheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such
determination and to be based solely on information provided to the Independent
Accounting Firm by Buyer and Seller) within 30 days of the submission of the
dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm, which determination will be final,
binding and conclusive on the Parties. All fees and expenses relating to the
work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to
this Section 2.4 will be allocated between Seller and Buyer in inverse
proportion as each shall prevail in respect of the dollar amount of disputed
items so submitted (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm).
Any payment for previously disputed charges determined by the Independent
Accounting Firm to be payable to Seller, together with interest thereon at the
rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the thirtieth (30th) day after the
applicable invoice was received by Buyer through the date of payment, will be
due and payable to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
such account or accounts as shall be specified by Seller within three Business
Days after such amounts are finally determined as provided in this Section 2.4.

Services.
