 ARTICLE II 
 Services 
 SECTION 2.01. Provision of Services. (a) Commencing
immediately after the Distribution, TWX shall and shall cause the other members of the TWX Group to provide to AOL and the other members of the AOL Group those Services as more particularly described in Schedule A to this Agreement as Services to be
provided by members of the TWX Group, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b) Commencing immediately after the
Distribution, AOL shall and shall cause the other members of the AOL Group to provide to TWX and the other members of the TWX Group those Services as more particularly described in Schedule B to this Agreement as Services to be provided by members
of the AOL Group, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (c) Each Service Recipient and its respective Service
Provider shall use good-faith efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder. TWX and AOL each, as Service Provider, agree to appoint one of their respective employees (each, 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 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. 
 (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”), at a reasonable cost, 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 protective as the terms of Section 8.05 of this Agreement. In addition and except as agreed by the Parties in Schedule A or B or otherwise in writing, any costs
associated with engaging the services of an Affiliate of a Service Provider or a Sub-Contractor shall not affect the Cost of Services payable by the Service Recipient under this Agreement, and the Service









 5 
  

 
Provider shall remain solely responsible with respect to payment for such Affiliate’s and/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 in which the Service Provider provided the Services (or substantially similar services) prior to the Separation 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 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 and at substantially the same level as the
Service Recipient used the Services (or substantially similar services) from the Service Provider prior to the Separation. 
 (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 members of its Group; provided, however, that 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 as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement or Schedule A or B,
in the context of the provision of the Services hereunder, the Service Provider shall not grant to the Service Recipient, and the Service Recipient shall not have, access to any competitively sensitive information or confidential information
(including personal data). 
 (i) The Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as
possible the consents, approvals or authorizations of any Person as may be necessary for the performance of the Service Provider’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Any fee, expenses or extra cost incurred in connection with obtaining any
such consents, approvals or authorizations 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, approvals and authorizations. In
the event that the consent of a third party, 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 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. 








 6 
  

 (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 of the Service Provider 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. 
 (k) The Parties agree that the Services set forth in Schedules A and B consist of all of the Services to be
provided by members of the TWX Group and members of the AOL Group, respectively, as of the Distribution; provided, however, that such Services shall not include, and neither TWX nor AOL 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 Service Recipient. 
 SECTION 2.02. Service Amendments and Additions. Schedules A and B may be amended at any time by the mutual written agreement of the Parties. 
 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 Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, the Service Recipient shall be liable to pay to the Service Provider the Cost of Service amounts specified for each Service as set forth 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 paid by the Service Provider in connection with the Services provided hereunder (“Taxes”) will be promptly reimbursed to the Service Provider by the Service Recipient in accordance with Section
3.03. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to the Cost of Service set forth on Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable (unless such Tax is expressly already accounted for in the applicable Service). 
 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 Service Categories or Services, then concurrently with the addition of such Services or Service Category, as the case may be, the Parties shall work in good faith to amend Schedule A









 7 
  

 
or Schedule B, as applicable, to reflect such additional Service or Service Category and the related Cost of Services. 
 SECTION 3.03. Payment Terms. (a) The Service Provider shall bill the Service Recipient monthly, within five business days after
the end of each month, an amount equal to the aggregate Cost of Services due for all Services provided in such month, plus any Taxes paid by the Service Provider in such month that are eligible for reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.01(b). Invoices
shall be directed to the Service Manager appointed by TWX or AOL, 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 30 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 to which such invoice relates. In addition to any other remedies for non-payment, if any payment is not received by the Service Provider on or before the date such amount is due, then a late payment interest
charge, calculated at a 6% per annum rate, shall immediately begin to accrue and any such late payment interest charges shall become immediately due and payable in addition to the amount otherwise owed under this Agreement. 
 (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 the Service Recipient can withhold amounts that are being disputed in good faith. Thereafter, 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 PURCHASED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE FURNISHED WITHOUT 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 AOL GROUP, AS SERVICE
PROVIDER, MAKES ANY WARRANTY THAT ANY SERVICE COMPLIES WITH ANY LAW, DOMESTIC OR FOREIGN. 
 SECTION 3.05. Books and
Records. TWX and AOL shall each maintain complete and accurate books of account as necessary to support calculations of the Cost of Services for Services rendered by it as a Service Provider 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 AOL’s books contain Information relating to any other aspect of the TWX Business or the AOL Business, as applicable, TWX and AOL
shall negotiate a procedure to provide the other Party with necessary access while preserving the confidentiality of such other records.

provide Services in such Service Category), effective at any time upon not less than 30 days’ written notice of termination to the breaching Party, if the breaching Party does not cure such default within 30 days after receiving written notice
thereof from the non-breaching Party. The termination of this Agreement with respect to any Service Category pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall not affect the Parties’ rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to any other
Service Category. 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or Schedule A or B, upon not less than 90 days’
prior written notice (i) the Service Provider may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Service Category or Service if the Service Provider or its Affiliates cease to provide such Service Category or Service to members of the Service
Provider’s Group and (ii) the Service Recipient shall be entitled to terminate one or more Services being provided by the 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 the Service Recipient to pay any amounts due to the Service
Provider hereunder.

its Affiliates, Subsidiaries or divisions, by reason of the provision of the Services hereunder, except as expressly provided in Section 4.03. 
 SECTION 8.02. Force Majeure. In case performance of any terms or provisions hereof shall be delayed or prevented, in whole or in

within the control of the Party, Service Provider or Service Recipient whose performance is interfered with (each, a “Performing Party”) and which by the exercise of reasonable diligence such Performing Party is unable to prevent,
or for any other reason which is not within the control of such Performing Party whose performance is interfered with and which by the exercise of reasonable diligence such Performing Party is unable to prevent (each, a “Force Majeure

Performing Party fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the situation and remove the cause and effects of the Force Majeure Event. 
 SECTION 8.03. Separation and Distribution Agreement. The Parties agree that, in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the terms
of this Agreement shall govern. 
 SECTION 8.04. Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or
construed by the Parties or any third party as creating a relationship of principal and agent, partnership or joint venture between the Parties, between Service Providers and Service Recipients or with any individual providing Services, it being
understood and agreed that no provision contained herein, and no act of any Party or members of their respective Groups, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the Parties or members of their respective Groups other than the relationship
set forth herein. 
 SECTION 8.05. Confidentiality. Each Party hereby acknowledges that confidential Information of such
Party or members of its Group may be exposed to employees and agents of the other Party or its Group as a result of the activities contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party agrees, on behalf of itself and the members of its Group, that such

writing, AOL, on the one hand, or TWX, on the other hand, may waive compliance by the other with any term or provision of this Agreement that such other Party, Service Provider or Service Recipient was or is obligated to comply with or perform. Any
waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of either Party to assert any
of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any such rights. 
 SECTION 8.09. Notices. All notices,
requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon receipt by the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified by like notice):

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 8.10 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Section 8.10 shall effect or impair a Service
Provider’s ability to delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates or Sub-Contractors pursuant to Section 2.01(e). 
 SECTION 8.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more
counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party. 
 SECTION 8.12. Severability. If any term
or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the
economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, TWX and
AOL shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

 SECTION 8.13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the
State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. 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 of the transactions contemplated hereby.
