ARTICLE II

 

SERVICES

 

Section 2.01.                          Initial Services.  Commencing as of the
Effective Time, the Provider agrees to provide, or to cause one of its
Subsidiaries to provide, to the Recipient, or any Subsidiary of the Recipient,
the applicable services (the “Initial Services”) set forth on each of the
subsections of Schedule 1 hereto.

 

Section 2.02.                          Omitted Services; Excluded Services;
Additional Services.

 

(a)                                 If, following the Effective Time and during
the term of this Agreement, a Party identifies a service that, prior to the
Effective Time, the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries provided to the
identifying Party or any of its Subsidiaries, but such service was inadvertently
omitted from the Services set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (each such service, an
“Omitted Service”), then the other Party shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to provide, or to cause one of its Subsidiaries to provide, any such
Omitted Service to the identifying Party and its Subsidiaries; provided that the
other Party shall not be obligated to provide any Omitted Service if it does
not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such Omitted
Service or if the provision of such Omitted Service would significantly disrupt
the operation of its businesses.  The Parties shall cooperate and act in good
faith to create a supplemental subsection of Schedule 1 hereto for each Omitted
Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and amend Schedule 1 hereto to
include the Omitted Service.  Each supplemental subsection of Schedule 1 hereto,
as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement
as of the date of such agreement and the Omitted Services set forth therein
shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 If, following the Effective Time and during
the term of this Agreement, a Party identifies a service that, prior to the
Effective Time, the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries provided to the
identifying Party or any of its Subsidiaries, but the Parties had mutually
agreed that such service would not be provided under the terms of this Agreement
(each such service, an “Excluded Service”), then the Parties shall cooperate and
act in good faith to determine whether the other Party shall provide such
Excluded Service to the identifying Party or any of its Subsidiaries under the
terms of this Agreement.  If the Parties determine that the other Party shall
provide such Excluded Service to the identifying Party (each such Excluded
Service, a “Reinstated Service”), then the Parties shall cooperate and act in
good faith to create a supplemental subsection of Schedule 1 hereto for each
Reinstated Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and amend Schedule 1
hereto to include the Reinstated Service.  Each supplemental subsection of
Schedule 1 hereto, as agreed in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of
this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Reinstated Services set

 

4

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

 

forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each
case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  If, following the Effective Time and during
the term of this Agreement, a Party identifies a service, other than an Omitted
Service or an Excluded Service, that it desires for the other Party or any of
its Subsidiaries to provide to the identifying Party or any of its Subsidiaries
(each such service, an “Additional Service”), then the other Party shall
consider such request; provided that nothing shall require the other Party to
provide such Additional Service to the identifying Party.  If the other Party
consents to providing an Additional Service to the identifying Party, then the
Parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to create a supplemental
subsection of Schedule 1 hereto for each such Additional Service in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A and amend Schedule 1 hereto to include the
Additional Service.  Each supplemental subsection of Schedule 1 hereto, as
agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as
of the date of such agreement and the Additional Services set forth therein
shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

Section 2.03.                          Performance of Services.

 

(a)                                 The Provider shall perform and cause its
Subsidiaries to perform all Services to be provided by the Provider in a manner
that is based on its past practice and that is substantially similar in nature,
quality and timeliness to the analogous services provided by Abbott or any of
its Subsidiaries to Abbott or its applicable functional group or Subsidiary
prior to the Effective Time.  The Provider shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, perform its duties and responsibilities hereunder in good
faith.  The Services shall be performed by the Provider and its Subsidiaries in
the United States and Puerto Rico.

 

(b)                                 Nothing in this Agreement shall require the
Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent the
manner of such performance would constitute a violation of applicable Laws, the
Abbott Code of Business Conduct or any existing contract or agreement with a
Third Party.  If the Provider is or becomes aware of any potential violation on
the part of the Provider, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to promptly send a Notice to the Recipient of any such potential violation.  The
Parties each agree to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain any necessary Third Party consents required under any existing contract
or agreement with a Third Party to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be
performed any Service in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section
2.03(b).  Any costs and expenses incurred by any Party or any of its
Subsidiaries in connection with obtaining any such Third Party consent that is
required to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed (i) any
Service (other than an Additional Service) shall be split between the Provider
and the Recipient in accordance with such Parties’ respective utilization of the
applicable Service at such time (except with respect to fees imposed by Third
Parties to allow joint participation by the Provider and the Recipient under
information technology contracts and licenses, which fees shall be split equally
between the Provider and the Recipient) and (ii) any Additional Service shall be
solely the responsibility of the Recipient.  If, with respect to a Service, the
Parties, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to
obtain a required Third Party consent or the performance of such Service by the
Provider would continue to constitute a violation of applicable Laws or the
Abbott Code of Business Conduct,

 

5

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

 

the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to provide
such Services in a manner as closely as possible to the standards described in
this Section 2.03 that would apply absent the exception provided for in the
first sentence of this Section 2.03(b).

 

(c)                                  The Provider shall not be obligated to
perform or to cause to be performed any Service in a volume or quantity in any
calendar year that exceeds the highest volumes or quantities of analogous
services provided to Abbott or its applicable functional group or Subsidiary
during calendar year 2012, as set forth in the 2012 plan (without reference to
the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement) (the
“Service Baseline Period”).  If the Recipient requests that the Provider perform
or cause to be performed any Service in a volume or quantity that exceeds the
highest volumes or quantities of analogous services that were provided to Abbott
or its applicable functional group or Subsidiary during the Service Baseline
Period, then: (i) if such higher volume or quantity results from fluctuations
occurring in the ordinary course of business of the Recipient, the Provider
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such requested higher
volume or quantity; and (ii) if such higher volume or quantity results from any
other source, including an acquisition, merger, purchase or other business
combination by the Recipient, the Parties shall cooperate and act in good faith
to determine whether the Provider will be required to provide such requested
higher volume or quantity.  If the Parties determine that the Provider shall
provide the requested higher volume or quantity then such higher volume or
quantity shall be documented in a written agreement signed by the Parties.  Each
amended subsection of Schedule 1 hereto, as agreed to in writing by the Parties,
shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the
volume or quantity increases set forth in such written agreement shall be deemed
a part of the “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 (i) Neither the Provider nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall 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
Recipient or its Subsidiaries, and (ii) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS
SECTION 2.03, EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL SERVICES AND PRODUCTS
ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, THAT THE RECIPIENT ASSUMES ALL RISK AND
LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ITS USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES,
AND THAT THE PROVIDER MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR GRANTS ANY WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY STATUTE OR
OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS.  EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY
DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OR EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
USE OR PURPOSE OR THE NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF
THIRD PARTIES.

 

(e)                                  Each Party shall be responsible for its own
compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its performance under this
Agreement.  No Party shall knowingly take any action in violation of any such
applicable Law that results in Liability being imposed on the other Party.

 

6

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

 

Section 2.04.                          Charges for Services.  The Recipient
shall pay the Provider of such Services a monthly fee for the Services (or
category of Services, as applicable) (each fee constituting a “Charge” and,
collectively, “Charges”), which Charges shall be agreed to by the Parties from
time to time.  During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Charge for any
Services may adjust to the extent of:  (a) any adjustments mutually agreed to by
the Parties; (b) any Charges applicable to any Omitted Services, Reinstated
Services or Additional Services; and (c) in accordance with Section 2.08, any
proportional adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by any Third Party
provider that is providing Services.  Together with any monthly invoice for
Charges, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with reasonable documentation,
including any additional documentation reasonably requested by the Recipient to
the extent such documentation is in the Provider’s or its Subsidiaries’
possession or control, to support the calculation of such Charges.

 

Section 2.05.                          Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket
Expenses.  The Recipient shall reimburse the Provider for reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Provider or any of its
Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services (including reasonable
travel-related expenses) to the extent that such costs and expenses are not
reflected in the Charges for such Services; provided, however, that any such
cost or expense not consistent with historical practice between the Parties for
any Service (including business travel and related expenses) shall require
advance approval of the Recipient.  Any authorized travel-related expenses
incurred in performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to the
Recipient in accordance with the Provider’s then applicable business travel
policies.

 

Section 2.06.                          Changes to Services.

 

(a)                                 Except as provided in Section 2.08 and
subject to the performance standards set forth in this Article II, the Provider
may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if
the Provider is making similar changes in performing analogous services for
itself and if the Provider furnishes to the Recipient reasonable prior Notice
(in content and timing) respecting such changes; provided, however, that the
Provider may not modify any of its accounting policies or its foreign exchange
rate setting process as defined in the B.2.0 policy that would directly or
indirectly impact the Services without the prior written consent of the
Recipient (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  No such
change shall affect the timeliness or quality of, or the Charges for, the
applicable Service.  If any such change by the Provider reasonably requires the
Recipient to incur incremental costs and expenses in order to continue to
receive and utilize the applicable Services in the same manner as the Recipient
was receiving and utilizing such Service prior to such change, the Provider
shall be required to reimburse the Recipient for all such reasonable costs and
expenses.  Upon request, the Recipient shall provide the Provider with
reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Provider to the extent such documentation is in the Recipient’s
or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such
incremental costs and expenses.

 

(b)                                 AbbVie acknowledges that it has received a
copy of Abbott’s B.2.0 internal calendar for 2013 from Abbott. Prior to the
commencement of each subsequent calendar year during the term of this Agreement,
Abbott shall make available to AbbVie a copy of Abbott’s B.2.0 internal calendar
for such calendar year (and AbbVie may request the same of

 

7

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

 

Abbott if Abbott has not made such copy available to AbbVie prior to the
commencement of the applicable subsequent calendar year).

 

(c)                                  Prior to 12:00 p.m. Central Time on the
B.2.0 day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement, Abbott shall
make available to AbbVie a copy of Abbott’s foreign exchange rates determined in
accordance with Abbott’s B.2.0 policy for such calendar month (and AbbVie may
request the same of Abbott if Abbott has not made such copy available to AbbVie
prior to 12:00 p.m. Central Time on the B.2.0 day of the applicable calendar
month).

 

Section 2.07.                          Transitional Nature of Services.  The
Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and agree to
cooperate in good faith and to use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate
a smooth transition of the Services from the Provider to the Recipient (or its
designee).

 

Section 2.08.                          Use of Third Parties to Provide
Services.  The Provider may perform its obligations to provide a Service through
agents, subcontractors or independent contractors, provided that the delegation
of performance of the applicable Service does not impact the timeliness or
quality of such Service, in accordance with the following:

 

(a)                                 Provider is Currently Using Third Parties as
of the Effective Time.  If, as of the Effective Time, (i) the Provider is
obtaining analogous services for itself from agents, subcontractors or
independent contractors, or (ii) the Provider is obtaining services from agents,
subcontractors or independent contractors which services the Provider shall only
provide to the Recipient under this Agreement and the Provider shall not
otherwise require such analogous services for itself during the term of this
Agreement, then the Charges for the applicable Services the Provider is
obtaining from such Third Parties may be adjusted proportionally by the Provider
pursuant to Section 2.04(c) to reflect any adjustment in the rates or charges
imposed by the Third Party that is providing such Services; or

 

(b)                                 Provider Elects to Switch to Third Parties
After the Effective Time.

 

(i)                                     If, following the Effective Time, the
Provider elects to obtain analogous services for itself from agents,
subcontractors or independent contractors (A) the Provider shall furnish to the
Recipient reasonable prior Notice (in content and timing) respecting such use of
Third Parties, and (B) the Charges for the applicable Services the Provider is
obtaining from such Third Parties may be adjusted proportionally by the Provider
pursuant to Section 2.04(c) to reflect any adjustment in the rates or charges
imposed by the Third Party that is providing such Services; and

 

(ii)                                  If, however, following the Effective Time,
the Provider is not obtaining analogous services for itself from agents,
subcontractors or independent contractors (A) the Provider shall furnish to the
Recipient reasonable prior Notice (in content and timing) respecting such use of
Third Parties, and (B) the Charges for the applicable Services the Provider is
providing through such Third Parties appointed following the Effective Time may
not be adjusted by the Provider as a result of any adjustments in the rates or
charges imposed by such Third Parties.

 

8

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

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Provider shall not be relieved of its
obligations under this Agreement by use of such agents, subcontractors or
independent contractors.

OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

 

Section 3.01.                          Access.

 

(a)                                 AbbVie shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, allow Abbott and its Subsidiaries and their respective
Representatives reasonable access to the facilities of AbbVie and its
Subsidiaries that is necessary for Abbott and its Subsidiaries to fulfill their
obligations under this Agreement.  In addition to the foregoing right of access,
AbbVie shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford Abbott, its
Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives, upon reasonable advance
notice, reasonable access during normal business hours to the facilities,
Information, systems, infrastructure and personnel of AbbVie and its
Subsidiaries as reasonably necessary for Abbott to verify the adequacy of
internal controls over information technology, reporting of financial data and
related processes employed in connection with the Services being provided by
AbbVie or its Subsidiaries, including in connection with verifying compliance
with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; provided that (i) such
access shall not unreasonably interfere with any of the business or operations
of AbbVie or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) in the event that AbbVie
determines that providing such access could be commercially detrimental, violate
any Law or agreement, or waive any attorney-client privilege, then the Parties
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit such access in a manner that
avoids any such harm or consequence.  Abbott agrees that all of its and its
Subsidiaries’ employees shall, and that it shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause its Representatives’ employees to, when on the property of
AbbVie and its Subsidiaries, or when given access to any facilities,
Information, systems, infrastructure or personnel of AbbVie and its

of Abbott or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) in the event that Abbott
determines that providing such access could be commercially detrimental, violate
any Law or agreement, or waive any attorney-client privilege, then the Parties
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit such access in a manner that
avoids

efforts to cause its Representatives’ employees to, when on the property of
Abbott and its Subsidiaries, or when given access to any facilities,

Subsidiaries, conform to the policies and procedures of Abbott and any of its
Subsidiaries, as applicable, concerning health, safety, conduct and security
which are made known to AbbVie from time to time.

days after the date of invoice.  All amounts due and payable hereunder shall be
invoiced and paid in U.S. dollars.

 

Section 4.02.                          Late Payments.  Charges not paid when due
pursuant to this Agreement (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or
demanded and properly payable that are not paid within sixty (60) days of the

annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 2%, or the maximum legal rate, whichever is
lower (the “Interest Payment”).

 

Section 4.03.                          Taxes.  Without limiting any provisions
of this Agreement, the Recipient shall bear any and all Taxes and other similar
charges (and any related interest and penalties) imposed on, or payable with

to this Agreement, including all sales, use, value-added, and similar Taxes, but
excluding Taxes based on the Provider’s net income.  Notwithstanding anything to

such Taxes that the Recipient is required by Law to withhold and shall pay such
Taxes to the applicable Tax Authority.

 

Section 4.04.                          No Set-Off.  Except as mutually agreed to
in writing by Abbott and AbbVie, no Party or any of its Affiliates shall have

ARTICLE V

 

TERM AND TERMINATION

 

Section 5.01.                          Term.  This Agreement shall commence at
the Effective Time and shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of:  (a) the
last date on which either Party is obligated to provide any Service to the other
Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or (b) the mutual written
agreement of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in its entirety.  Unless

 

10

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

 

otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 5.02, this Agreement shall terminate
with respect to any Service at the close of business on the last day of the
Service Period for such Service.  To the extent that the Provider’s ability to
provide a Service is dependent on the continuation of a specified Service, the
Provider’s obligation to provide such dependent Service shall terminate
automatically with the termination of such supporting Service.

 

Section 5.02.                          Early Termination.

 

(a)                                 Without prejudice to the Recipient’s rights
with respect to a Force Majeure, the Recipient may from time to time terminate
this Agreement with respect to the entirety of any individual Service but not a
portion thereof:

 

(i)                                     for any reason or no reason, upon the
giving of an advance Notice to the Provider of such Service not less than the
shorter of (A) one hundred eighty (180) days, or (B) one-half the original
Service Period for such Service; provided, however, that any such termination
may only be effective as of the last day of a month; or

 

(ii)                                  if the Provider of such Service has failed
to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement with respect to
such Service, and such failure shall continue to exist forty five (45) days
after receipt by the Provider of Notice of such failure from the Recipient;
provided, however, that any such termination may only be effective as of the
last day of a month; and provided, further, that the Recipient shall not be
entitled to terminate the Agreement with respect to the applicable Service if,
as of the end of such forty five (45)-day period, there remains a good faith
Dispute between the Parties (undertaken in accordance with the terms of Section
9.07) as to whether the Provider has cured the applicable breach.

 

(b)                                 The Provider may terminate this Agreement
with respect to any individual Service, but not a portion thereof, at any time
upon prior Notice to the Recipient if the Recipient has failed to perform any of
its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Services,
including making payment of Charges for such Service when due, and such failure
shall continue uncured for a period of forty five (45) days after receipt by the
Recipient of a Notice of such failure from the Provider; provided, however, that
any such termination may only be effective as of the last day of a month; and
provided, further, that the Provider shall not be entitled to terminate the
Agreement with respect to the applicable Service if, as of the end of such forty
five (45)-day period, there remains a good faith Dispute between the Parties
(undertaken in accordance with the terms of Section 9.07) as to whether the
Recipient has cured the applicable breach.  The relevant subsection of Schedule
1 hereto shall be updated to reflect any terminated Service.

 

Section 5.03.                          Reduction of Services.  The Recipient may
from time to time request a reduction in part of the scope or amount of any
Service; provided that any such reduction may only take effect as of the end of
a month.  If requested to do so by the Recipient, the Parties shall discuss in
good faith appropriate adjustments to the relevant Charges in light of all
relevant factors.  If, after such discussions, the Parties do not approve any
requested reduction of the scope or amount of any Service and the relevant
Charges in connection therewith, then (a) there shall be no change to the
Charges under this Agreement and (b) unless the Parties otherwise agree in
writing, there shall be no change to the scope or amount of any Services under
this

 

11

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

 

Agreement.  If, after such discussions, the Parties agree to any reduction of
Service, such reduction of Service shall be documented in a written agreement
executed by the Parties.  Additionally, in connection with any such reduction of
Service, the Parties may agree to an appropriate reduction to the Charges
related to the applicable reduced Service.

 

Section 5.04.                          Extension of Services.

 

(a)                                 The Recipient may request to extend the
Service Period of any Service (each such extension, a “Service Extension”) one
time for each Service (unless the Parties otherwise agree) by providing the
Provider of such Service with advance Notice not less than the shorter of (i)
one hundred eighty (180) days, or (ii) one-half of the original Service Period
for such Service.

 

(b)                                 If the Recipient is requesting a Service
Extension for a particular Service for the first time and the requested Service
Extension is for a period of twelve (12) months or less past the originally
scheduled expiration of the Service Period for the applicable Service, then the
Provider shall be obligated to provide such requested Service Extension and the
Parties shall in good faith (i) negotiate the terms of an amendment to the
applicable subsection of Schedule 1 hereto, which amendment shall be consistent
with the terms of the applicable Service, and (ii) determine the costs and
expenses (which shall not include any Charges payable under this Agreement), if
any, that would be incurred by the Provider or the Recipient, as the case may
be, in connection with the provision of such Service Extension, which costs and
expenses shall be borne solely by the Recipient.  If (A) the requested Service
Extension is for a period of longer than twelve (12) months past the originally
scheduled expiration of the Service Period for the applicable Service or (B) the
Recipient has previously requested a Service Extension for the particular
Service that the Recipient is currently requesting a Service Extension, then the
Parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to determine whether the Provider
shall provide the applicable Service for the requested Service Extension
period.  If the Parties determine that the Provider shall provide such Service
during the requested Service Extension period, then the Parties shall in good
faith (1) negotiate the terms of an amendment to the applicable subsection of
Schedule 1 hereto, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of the
applicable Service, and (2) determine the costs and expenses (which shall not
include any Charges payable under this Agreement), if any, that would be
incurred by the Provider or the Recipient, as the case may be, in connection
with the provision of such Service Extension, which costs and expenses shall be
borne solely by the Recipient.  Each amended subsection of Schedule 1 hereto, as
agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as
of the date of such agreement and any Services provided pursuant to such Service
Extensions shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each
case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

Section 5.05.                          Interdependencies.  The Parties
acknowledge and agree that (i) there may be interdependencies among the Services
being provided under this Agreement, (ii) upon the request of either Party, the
Parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to determine whether (A) any such
interdependencies exist with respect to the particular Service that a Party is
seeking to terminate, reduce part of the scope or amount of, or extend, as
applicable, in accordance with Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or Section 5.04,
respectively, and (B) in the case of a termination or reduction, the Provider’s
ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this

 

12

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

 

Agreement would be materially and adversely affected by such termination, or
reduction in part of the scope or amount, of another Service, as applicable, in
accordance with Section 5.02 or Section 5.03, respectively, prior to the
expiration of the period of the maximum duration for such Service, and (iii) in
the event that the Parties have determined that such interdependencies exist
(and, in the case of a termination or reduction, as applicable, that the
Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this
Agreement would be materially and adversely affected by the termination, or
reduction in part of the scope or amount, of another Service, as applicable, in
accordance with Section 5.02 or Section 5.03, respectively, prior to the
expiration of the period of the maximum duration for such Service), the Parties
shall negotiate in good faith to amend Schedule 1 hereto relating to the
termination dates of such impacted Service, which amendment shall be consistent
with the terms of comparable Services.

 

Section 5.06.                          Effect of Termination.  Upon the
termination of any Service pursuant to this Agreement, the Provider of the
terminated Service shall have no further obligation to provide the terminated
Service, and the Recipient shall have no obligation to pay any future Charges
relating to any such Service; provided, however, that the Recipient shall remain
obligated to the Provider for the Charges owed and payable in respect of
Services provided prior to the effective date of termination for such Service. 
In connection with the termination of any Service, the provisions of this
Agreement not relating solely to such terminated Service shall survive any such
termination, and in connection with a termination of this Agreement, Article I,
this Article V, Article VII and Article IX, all confidentiality obligations
under this Agreement and Liability for all due and unpaid Charges, shall
continue to survive indefinitely.

 

Section 5.07.                          Information Transmission.  The Provider,
on behalf of itself and its respective Subsidiaries, shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made
available, to the Recipient, in accordance with Section 6.01(a) of the
Separation and Distribution Agreement, any Information received or computed by
the Provider for the benefit of the Recipient concerning the relevant Service
during the Service Period; provided, however, that, except as otherwise agreed
to in writing by the Parties (a) the Provider shall not have any obligation to
provide or cause to provide Information in any non-standard format, (b) the
Provider and its Subsidiaries shall be reimbursed for their reasonable costs in
accordance with Section 6.01(c) of the Separation and Distribution Agreement for
creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise providing such
Information, and (c) the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
maintain any such Information in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Separation
and Distribution Agreement.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

CONFIDENTIALITY; PROTECTIVE ARRANGEMENTS

 

Section 6.01.                          Abbott and AbbVie Obligations.  Subject
to Section 6.04, Abbott, on behalf of itself and each of the Abbott
Subsidiaries, and AbbVie, on behalf of itself and each of the AbbVie
Subsidiaries, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective Representatives to
hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies
to Abbott’s confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in
effect as of the Effective Time, all confidential and proprietary information
concerning the other Party (or its business) and the other Party’s Subsidiaries
(or their respective businesses) that is either in its possession (including
confidential

 

13

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

 

and proprietary information in its possession prior to the Effective Time) or
furnished by the other Party or the other Party’s Subsidiaries or their
respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not
use any such confidential and proprietary information other than for such
purposes as may be expressly permitted hereunder, except, in each case, to the
extent that such confidential and proprietary information has been (a) in the
public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a
disclosure by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
Representatives in violation of this Agreement; (b) later lawfully acquired from
other sources by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries, which sources are not
themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or
fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such confidential and
proprietary information; or (c) independently developed or generated without
reference to or use of the respective proprietary or confidential information of
the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries.  If any confidential and proprietary
information of Abbott or any of its Subsidiaries is disclosed to AbbVie or any
of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services, then such
disclosed confidential and proprietary information shall be used only as
required to perform the Services.  If any confidential and proprietary
information of AbbVie or any of its Subsidiaries is disclosed to Abbott or any
of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services, then such
disclosed confidential and proprietary information shall be used only as
required to perform such Services.

 

Section 6.02.                          No Release.  Each Party agrees (a) not to
release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any information
addressed in Section 6.01 to any other Person, except its Representatives who
need to know such information in their capacities as such, and except in
compliance with Section 6.04 and (b) to use commercially reasonable efforts to
maintain any such information in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Separation
and Distribution Agreement.

 

Section 6.03.                          Third Party Information; Privacy and Data
Protection Laws.  Each Party acknowledges that it and its respective
Subsidiaries may presently have and, following the Effective Time, may gain
access to or possession of confidential or proprietary information of, or
personal information relating to, Third Parties (a) that was received under
confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third
Parties, on the one hand, and another Party or another Party’s Subsidiaries, on
the other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (b) that, as between the
Parties, was originally collected by another Party or another Party’s
Subsidiaries and that may be subject to and protected by privacy, data
protection or other applicable Laws.  As provided in more detail in a data
protection agreement to be entered into between Abbott and AbbVie as of the
Effective Time, each Party agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall
cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to hold,
protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary
information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties in accordance
with privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws and the terms of any
agreements that were either entered into before the Effective Time or
affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Effective
Time by, between or among such other Party or such other Party’s Subsidiaries,
on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.

 

Section 6.04.                          Protective Arrangements.  In the event
that either Party or any of its Affiliates is requested or required (by oral
question, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena,
civil investigative demand or similar process) by any Governmental Authority or
pursuant to applicable Law to disclose or provide any confidential or
proprietary

 

14

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

 

information of the other Party that is subject to the confidentiality provisions
hereof, or to disclose or provide any Personal Data that it processes on behalf
of the other Party in accordance with the data protection agreement to be
entered into between Abbott and AbbVie as of the Effective Time, such Party
shall, unless prohibited by such request or requirement of the applicable
Governmental Authority or under applicable Law, provide the other Party with
Notice of such request or demand as promptly as practicable under the
circumstances so that such other Party shall have an opportunity to seek an
appropriate protective order, at such other Party’s own cost and expense.  In
the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective
order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand
reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such information
shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the
Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide
information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by counsel) or by
lawful process or such Governmental Authority.

16

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

 

the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries; and, provided, further, that this

licensed by the Provider, by reason of the provision of the Services provided
hereunder.  The Recipient shall not remove or alter any copyright, trademark,
confidentiality or other proprietary notices that appear on any intellectual

in default of this Agreement for failure to fulfill any obligation so long as
and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such
obligations is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of
circumstances of Force Majeure.  In the event of any such excused delay, the
time for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by
reason of the delay unless this Agreement has previously been terminated under
Article V or under this Section 9.03.  A Party claiming the benefit of this

such event, (a) provide Notice to the Recipient or the Provider of the nature
and extent of any such Force Majeure condition; and (b) use commercially
reasonable efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this

of a Force Majeure, the Recipient shall be (i) relieved of the obligation to pay
Charges for such Service(s) throughout the duration of such Force Majeure and
(ii) entitled to permanently terminate such Service(s) (and shall be relieved of

Section 9.04.                          Independent Contractors.  The Parties
each acknowledge that they are separate entities, each of which has entered into
this Agreement for independent business reasons.  The relationships of the
Parties hereunder are those of independent contractors and nothing contained

governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of the
State of Delaware, irrespective of the choice of Laws principles of the State of
Delaware, as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction,
effect, enforceability, performance and remedies.

 

Section 9.07.                          Dispute Resolution.

 

(a)                                 In the event of any controversy, dispute or
claim (a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to any Party’s rights or
obligations under this Agreement (whether arising in contract, tort or
otherwise) or calculation or allocation of the costs of any Service, or
otherwise arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement (including the
interpretation or validity of this Agreement), such Dispute shall be resolved in
accordance with the dispute resolution process referred to in Section 7.01 to
the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

 

(b)                                 In any Dispute regarding the amount of a
Charge, if such Dispute is finally resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution
process set forth or referred to in Section 9.07(a) and it is determined that
the Charge that the Provider has invoiced the Recipient, and that the Recipient
has paid to the Provider, is greater or less than the amount that the Charge
should have been, then (i) if it is determined that the Recipient has overpaid
the Charge, the Provider shall within five (5) business days after such
determination reimburse the Recipient an amount of cash equal to such
overpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date of payment by the
Recipient to the time of reimbursement by the Provider; and (ii) if it is
determined that the Recipient has underpaid the Charge, the Recipient shall
within five (5) business days after such determination reimburse the Provider an
amount of cash equal to such underpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing

Section 9.08.                          Specific Performance.  Subject to
Section 9.07, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of,

Parties who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific
performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (on an interim or permanent
basis) of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other
rights and remedies at Law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall
be cumulative.  The Parties agree that the remedies at Law for any breach or
threatened breach, including monetary damages, may be inadequate compensation
for any loss and that any defense in any Proceeding for specific performance
that a remedy at Law would be adequate is waived.  Unless otherwise agreed in
writing, the Parties shall continue to provide Services and honor all other
commitments under this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution
pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.07 and this Section 9.08 with respect to
all matters subject to such Dispute; provided, however, that this obligation
shall only exist during the term of this Agreement.

or other power and authority and has taken all corporate or other action
necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; and

mechanical signature, and that delivery of an executed counterpart of a

Each of Abbott and AbbVie expressly adopts and confirms a stamp or mechanical

name as if it were a manual signature delivered in person, agrees that it shall
not assert that any such signature or delivery is not adequate to bind it to the
same extent as if it were signed manually and delivered in person and agrees

Section 9.22.                          Severability.  In the event that any one
or more of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof
to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of
this

 

21

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

 

Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to Persons or
circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been
determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and the Parties shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to substitute one or more valid, legal and
enforceable terms or provisions into this Agreement which, insofar as
practicable, implement the purposes and intent of the Parties.  Any term or
provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part, degree
or within certain jurisdictions shall remain in full force and effect to the
extent not held invalid or unenforceable to the extent consistent with the
intent of the Parties as reflected by this Agreement.  To the extent permitted
by applicable Law, each Party waives any term or provision of Law which renders
any term or provision of this Agreement to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect.

 

Section 9.23.                          Further Assurances.  Each Party hereto
shall take, or cause to be taken, any and all reasonable actions, including the

make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except (a) as may be
required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any
listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities
quotation system; or (b) as otherwise set forth on Schedule 9.16 to the
Separation and Distribution Agreement.
