 SERVICES

 Section 2.01. Services. 

(a) Commencing as of the Effective Time, Provider agrees to provide, or to cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to provide, to Recipient, or
any Subsidiary of Recipient, the applicable services (the “Services”) set forth on the Schedules hereto. 
 (b) If, within
ninety (90) days after the Distribution Date, either (i) SpinCo identifies a service that Parent provided to SpinCo prior to the Distribution Date that SpinCo reasonably needs in order for the SpinCo Business to continue to operate in
substantially the same manner in which the SpinCo Business operated prior to the Distribution Date, and such service was not included on the Schedules hereto (other than because the Parties agreed such service shall not be provided), or
(ii) Parent identifies a service that SpinCo provided to Parent prior to the Distribution Date that Parent reasonably needs in order for the Parent Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the Parent Business
operated prior to the Distribution Date, and such service was not included on the Schedules hereto (other than because the Parties agreed such service shall not be provided) then, in each case, if the identifying Party provides written notice to the
other Party within such ninety (90) day period requesting such service, then the Party receiving such notice shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such requested service (such requested additional service, an
“Additional Service”); provided that: (A) neither Party shall not be obligated to provide an Additional Service if it does not, in its commercially reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such Additional Service
or if the provision of such Additional Service would significantly disrupt the operation of such Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ businesses; and (B) a Party shall not be required to provide an Additional Service if the Parties, acting
reasonably and in good faith, are unable to reach agreement on the terms thereof (including with respect to Service Charges therefor). In connection with any request for an Additional Service in accordance with this
Section 2.01(b), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a supplement to the applicable Schedule, which terms shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, similar Services
provided under this Agreement. Upon the written agreement of the Parties, the supplement to the applicable Schedule shall describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, Service Period, termination provisions and other terms applicable to such
Additional Service in a manner similar to that in which the other Services are 

  
 5 












 
described in the existing Schedules. Each supplement to the applicable Schedule, 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 Service set forth therein shall be deemed included in the definition of “Service” as of such date, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

Section 2.02. Performance of Services. 

(a) Subject to Section 2.05, Provider shall perform in a professional manner consistent with industry standards, or
shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to perform in a professional manner consistent with industry standards (directly, through one (1) or more of its Subsidiaries, or through a mutually agreed upon Third-Party service provider in
accordance herewith), the Services in a manner that is substantially similar in all material respects to the analogous services provided by or on behalf of Provider or any of its Subsidiaries to its applicable functional group or Subsidiary prior to
the Effective Time and that in any event, conforms in all material respects with the terms of the Schedules hereto. 
 (b) Nothing in this
Agreement shall require Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent that the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of any applicable Law or any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party. If
Provider is or becomes aware of that any such violation is reasonably likely, Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly advise Recipient of such potential violation, and the Parties will mutually seek an alternative that
addresses such potential violation. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith 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
Provider to perform, or cause to be performed, all Services to be provided hereunder in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.02. The Parties shall evenly share any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (if any) incurred by Provider or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with obtaining any such Third-Party consent that is required to allow
Provider to perform or cause to be performed such Services. 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 Provider would constitute a violation of any applicable Law, Provider shall have no obligation whatsoever to perform or cause to be performed such Service. 

(c) Unless otherwise provided with respect to a specific Service on the Schedules hereto, Provider shall not be obligated to perform or cause
to be performed any Service in a manner that is more burdensome (with respect to service quality or quantity) than analogous services provided by Provider or its applicable functional group or Subsidiary (collectively referred to as the
“Level of Service”) during the one (1)-year period ending on the last day of Provider’s last fiscal quarter completed on or prior to the date of the Distribution (the “Service Baseline Period”).
If Recipient requests that Provider perform or cause to be performed any Service that exceeds the Level of Service during the Service Baseline Period, then the Parties shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith to determine whether Provider will be
required to provide such requested increased Level of Service. If the Parties determine that Provider shall provide the requested increased Level of Service, then such increased Level of Service shall be documented in a written agreement signed by
the Parties. Each amended section of the Schedules hereto, as agreed in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such written agreement, and the Level of Service 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. 

  
 6 












 (d) (i) Except as otherwise specified in the Schedules, neither Provider nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall be required to perform or cause to be performed any of the Services for the benefit of any Third Party or any other Person other than Recipient and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION
2.02 OR SECTION 6.04, RECIPIENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, THAT RECIPIENT ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ITS
USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, AND THAT 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. PROVIDER 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. 

Section 2.03. Charges for Services. Unless otherwise provided with respect to a specific Service on the Schedules hereto,
Recipient shall reimburse Provider for any third party costs related to such Services or category of Services, as applicable (each fee, a “Charge” and, collectively, “Charges”), which Charges shall be set forth on
the applicable Schedules hereto, or if not so set forth, then, unless otherwise provided with respect to a specific Service on the Schedule hereto, based upon the cost of providing such Services as shall be agreed by the Parties from time to time.
During the term of this Agreement, the Charges for a Service may be modified to the extent of: (a) any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by any Third-Party provider that is providing goods or services used in providing the Services;
(b) any adjustment in third party costs relating to any changes in the scope, quality, nature, duration or quantity of the Services provided or how the Services are provided; or (c) any adjustment in third party costs resulting from a
reasonable change in the pricing methodology for a particular Service provided that Provider is implementing the same change with respect to all of its businesses or divisions that utilize the Service. Together with any invoice for Charges, Provider
shall provide Recipient with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by Recipient to the extent that such documentation is in Provider’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support
the calculation of such Charges. 
 Section 2.04. Reimbursement for
Out-of-Pocket Costs and Expenses. In addition to any increase to a Charge contemplated by Section 2.02(c) and
Section 2.03, Recipient shall reimburse Provider for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Provider or any of its
Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services (including reasonable travel-related 

  
 7 












 
expenses) to the extent that such costs and expenses are not reflected in the Charges for such Services; provided that any such cost or expense shall require advance written approval of Recipient
(and if Recipient does not provide such advance written approval and the incurrence of such cost or expense is reasonably necessary for Provider to provide such Service in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement, Provider shall not
be required to perform such Service). Any authorized travel-related expenses incurred in performing the Services shall be charged to Recipient in accordance with Provider’s then-applicable business travel policies. 

Section 2.05. Changes in the Performance of Services. 

(a) Subject to the performance standards for Services set forth in Section 2.02, Provider may make changes from time
to time in the manner of performing the Services if Provider is making similar changes in performing analogous services for itself and if Provider furnishes to Recipient reasonable prior written notice (in content and timing) of such changes;
provided that if such change shall materially adversely affect the timeliness or quality of, or the Charges for, the applicable Service, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to agree on modifications to such Services as are commercially
reasonable in consideration of the circumstances. 
 (b) Subject to the limitations on Additional Services set forth in herein, Recipient may
request a change to a Service by submitting a request in writing to Provider describing the proposed change in reasonable detail. Provider shall respond to the request as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Parties shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to agree to such request, unless the change requested would adversely impact the cost, liability, or risk associated with providing or receiving the applicable Service, or cause any other disruption or adverse impact on the
business or operations of Recipient or its Affiliates. Each agreed upon change shall be documented by an amendment in writing to the applicable Schedule prior to such change becoming effective. 

Section 2.06. 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 avoid a disruption in the transition of the Services from Provider to Recipient (or its designee). Recipient agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate
its and its Affiliates’ dependency on each Service to the extent and as soon as is reasonably practicable. 
 Section 2.07.
Subcontracting and Personnel. 
 (a) Provider may hire or engage one or more Third Parties to perform any or all of its
obligations under this Agreement; provided that: (i) Provider shall use the same degree of care (but at least reasonable care) in selecting each such Third Party as it would if such Third Party was being retained to provide similar services to
Provider; and (ii) Provider shall in all cases remain responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the scope of the Services, the performance standard for Services set forth in
Section 2.02 and the content of the Services provided to Recipient. Provider shall be responsible for any breach of its obligations under this Agreement by any Third-Party service provider engaged by Provider. Unless
otherwise set forth in the Schedules or as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Recipient is not liable for Provider’s costs of any subcontracting contemplated in this Section 2.07. All amounts paid under a subcontracting
arrangement in respect of Services provided shall be documented in invoices and any relevant ancillary agreements and clearly itemize any reimbursements or disbursements paid by a Recipient to a Provider or Third Party. 

  
 8 












 (b) Subject to Provider meeting its obligations with respect to the Level of Service, and
notwithstanding the name of any personnel set forth in the Schedule, Provider shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) designate which personnel they will assign to perform the Services and (ii) remove and replace such
personnel at any time. In performing their respective duties hereunder, all such personnel shall be under the direction, control and supervision of Provider, and Provider shall have the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to the
employment (including termination of employment), assignment and compensation of its personnel. 
 Section 2.08. Contract
Manager. Each Party shall appoint an individual to act as its primary point of operational contact for the administration and operation of this Agreement (each, a “Contract Manager”) who shall have overall responsibility for
coordinating all activities undertaken by such Party hereunder, for acting as a day-to-day contact with the other Party, and for making available to the other Party the
data, facilities, resources and other support services required for the performance of the services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that for each Service, the Contract Manager shall be permitted to delegate the foregoing
responsibilities for such Service to an individual identified on the Schedules, and such representative shall be deemed to be the Contract Manager with respect to such Service. The Parties may change their respective Contract Managers from time to
time upon notice to the other Party in accordance herewith.

respect to such Confidential Information) and (b) to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such Confidential Information in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing,
when any such Confidential Information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreements, each Party will promptly at the request and discretion of the
other Party, either return to the other Party all such Confidential Information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or notify the other Party in writing that it has destroyed such
information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon); provided that: (i) the Parties may retain electronic back-up versions of such Confidential Information maintained
on routine computer system back-up tapes, disks or other back-up storage devices; and (ii) any such retained back-up
information shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. 
 Section 5.03. Privacy and Data Protection
Laws. Each Party shall comply with all applicable state, federal and foreign privacy and data protection Laws that are or that may in the future be applicable to the provision of the Services under this Agreement. 

Section 5.04. Protective Arrangements. In the event that a Party or any of its Subsidiaries either determines on the advice of its
counsel that it is required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party (or any of its
Subsidiaries) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information
and shall cooperate, at the 

  
 12 












 
expense of the other Party, in seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the other Party. 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 its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority, and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a
copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted. 

Section 5.05. Exclusions. A Party’s confidentiality obligations set forth herein with respect to the other Party’s
Confidential Information do not apply to the extent such Confidential Information: (a) is in the public domain or is 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) is lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries, which sources are not themselves known by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries to be bound
by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such Confidential Information; or (c) is independently developed or generated without reference to or use of the Confidential
Information of the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries. If any Confidential Information of a Party or any of its Subsidiaries is disclosed to the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services, then such
disclosed Confidential Information shall be used only as required to perform such Services.

by facsimile or by e-mail in portable document format (.pdf)) made in its respective name as if it were a manual signature delivered in person, agrees that it will not assert that any such signature or
delivery is not adequate to bind such Party to the same extent as if it were signed manually and delivered in person and agrees that, at the reasonable request of the other Party at any time, it will as promptly as reasonably practicable cause this

 Section 7.11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to
any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than
those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to
agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties. 
 Section 7.12. Force Majeure.
No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) hereunder so long as and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such obligation is
prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. Without limiting the termination rights contained in this Agreement, in the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance of such obligation
(other than a payment obligation) shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such Force Majeure:
(a) provide written notice to the other Party of the nature and extent of such Force Majeure; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably
practicable (and in no event later than the date that the affected Party resumes analogous performance under any other agreement for itself, its Affiliates or any Third Party), unless this Agreement has previously been terminated under Article
IV or this Section 7.12. Recipient shall be (i) relieved of the obligation to pay Charges for the affected Services throughout the duration of such Force Majeure and (ii) entitled to permanently terminate such
Services if the delay or failure in providing such Services because of a Force Majeure continues for more than thirty (30) consecutive days (it being understood that Recipient shall not be required to provide any advance notice of such
termination to Provider).

 Section 7.13. Headings. The Article and Section headings contained in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 

Section 7.14. Waivers of Default. Waiver by a Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not
be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the waiving Party. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 

Section 7.15. 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), 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 by submitting such Dispute first to the relevant Contract Manager of each Party, and the Contract Managers shall seek to resolve such Dispute through informal good faith negotiation. In the event
that the Contract Managers fail to meet or, if they meet and fail to resolve a Dispute within twenty (20) business days, then either Party may pursue the remedy set forth in Section 7.15(b). 

(b) If the procedures set forth in Section 7.15(a) have been followed with respect to a Dispute and such Dispute
remains unresolved, such Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution process referred to in Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. 

(c) In any Dispute regarding the amount of a Charge or a Termination Charge, if such Dispute is finally resolved pursuant to the dispute
resolution process set forth or referred to in Section 7.15(a) and Section 7.15(b) and it is determined that the Charge or the Termination Charge, as applicable, that Provider has invoiced
Recipient, and that Recipient has paid to Provider, is greater or less than the amount that the Charge or the Termination Charge, as applicable, should have been, then (i) if it is determined that Recipient has overpaid the Charge or the
Termination Charge, as applicable, Provider shall within ten (10) calendar days after such determination reimburse Recipient an amount of cash equal to such overpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date of payment by Recipient
to the time of reimbursement by Provider; and (ii) if it is determined that Recipient has underpaid the Charge or the Termination Charge, as applicable, Recipient shall within ten (10) calendar days after such determination reimburse
Provider an amount of cash equal to such underpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date such payment originally should have been made by Recipient to the time of payment by Recipient.

 Section 7.16. Specific Performance. Subject to
Section 7.15, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Party or 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) in respect of its rights or their 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, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any Action for specific
performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived by each of the Parties. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Provider shall continue to provide
Services and the Parties shall honor all other commitments under this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.15 and this Section 7.16 with
respect to all matters not subject to such Dispute; provided that this obligation shall only exist during the term of this Agreement. 

Section 7.17. Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party,
unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom enforcement of such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is sought. 

Section 7.18. Precedence of Schedules. Each Schedule attached to or referenced in this Agreement is hereby incorporated into and
shall form a part of this Agreement; provided that the terms contained in such Schedule shall only apply with respect to the Services provided under that Schedule. In the event of a conflict between the terms contained in an individual Schedule and
the terms in the body of this Agreement, the terms in the Schedule shall take precedence with respect to the Services under such Schedule only. No terms contained in individual Schedules shall otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement. 

Section 7.19. Interpretation. In this Agreement: (a) words in the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice
versa and words of one gender shall be deemed to include the other genders as the context requires; (b) the terms “hereof,” “herein” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be
construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the Schedules hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (c) Article, Section, and Schedule references are to the Articles, Sections, and Schedules to this
Agreement, unless otherwise specified; (d) unless otherwise stated, all references to any agreement shall be deemed to include the exhibits, schedules and annexes to such agreement; (e) the word “including” and words of similar
