the Services, to use all Intellectual Property Rights in Service Provider Technology. The Parties acknowledge that such right and license may be subject to additional terms and conditions, and, except as otherwise provided herein, will terminate
upon the termination of the Services. As between the Parties, all Internet addresses, network identification, access codes and telephone numbers provided or issued to Customer or its users by Service Provider or Service Provider Personnel, and not
transferred to Customer pursuant to the Separation Agreement, shall be and remain the sole property of Service Provider. 
 7.3 No Implied
Licenses; Residuals. Except as expressly specified in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to grant to one Party, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, license rights, ownership rights or any other Intellectual Property
Rights in any Technology owned by the other Party or any Affiliate of the other Party. Service Provider shall be free to use its general knowledge, skills and experience, and any ideas, concepts, know how, and techniques that are required or used in
the course of providing the Services. 
 7.4 Required Consents. 
 (a) Prior to the Effective Date, Service Provider used its commercially reasonable efforts to identify and obtain Required Consents with
respect to the Service Provider supplied Software, materials, Equipment and third party Contracts that are necessary for Service Provider to provide Services under this Agreement. Service Provider shall, in consultation with Customer, continue to
use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Required Consents not obtained by the Effective Date with respect to such Software, materials, Equipment and third party Contracts. Service Provider makes no warranty as to the receipt of any
Required Consents by the Effective Date. 
  

 10 








 (b) If at any time after the Effective Date either Party identifies or becomes aware of
the need to obtain a Required Consent, such Party shall promptly inform the other Party. 
 (c) If Service Provider or
Customer, as applicable, is unable to obtain a Required Consent, regardless of when the need to obtain such consent arises, then, unless and until such Required Consent is obtained, the Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to
determine and adopt such alternative approaches as are necessary and sufficient to provide the Services without such Required Consent. If despite using commercially reasonable efforts, the Parties are unable to adopt an alternative approach, then
the affected Services shall be terminated and the Parties will equitably adjust the prices specified in this Agreement to reflect the reduced scope of Services; provided, however, that Service Provider may elect, at its sole
discretion, to provide an affected Service despite the absence of a Required Consent; provided, further that, in the event that Service Provider makes such election without the prior approval of Customer, Service Provider shall be solely responsible
for any liability arising as a result of Service Provider providing such Service despite the absence of a Required Consent. 
  

	8.	CUSTOMER DATA AND ACCESS TO SERVICE PROVIDER SYSTEMS 

 8.1 Definition. The term “Customer Data” means (i) any Information of Customer, its Affiliates or Recipients, or their respective vendors, customers or other business partners that is provided to or obtained by
Service Provider in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including data and Information regarding Customer’s businesses, customers, operations, facilities, products, consumer markets, assets and finances, and (ii) any
data or Information specific to Customer or Customer’s business that is collected or processed in connection with the Services. For avoidance of doubt, Customer Data does not include data about the Service Provider Systems or Service Provider
Technology. 
 8.2 Ownership. As between Customer and Service Provider, Customer owns and will continue to own all right, title and
interest in and to all Customer Data. Service Provider shall not sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of or commercially exploit Customer Data. 
 8.3 Data Security. Service Provider will establish and maintain safeguards against the destruction, loss or alteration of Customer Data in its possession that are no less rigorous than those in effect for Service Provider’s
operations. 
 8.4 Physical Security for Facilities. Service Provider will be responsible for all security procedures at any Service
Provider Facilities. Customer will provide all necessary security personnel and security equipment at the Customer Facilities. 
 8.5
Access to Service Provider Systems. Service Provider shall, in its sole discretion, be entitled to approve or restrict access to Service Provider Systems by any Customer contractor. 
  

	9.	CONFIDENTIALITY 

 9.1 Confidential
Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means any Information of Service Provider or Customer that is not generally known to the public and at the time of disclosure is identified, or would reasonably be
understood by the receiving Party, to 

  

 11 








 
be proprietary or confidential, whether disclosed in oral, written, visual, electronic or other form, and which the receiving Party (or its contractors or
agents) observes or learns in connection with this Agreement. Confidential Information includes: (a) business plans, strategies, forecasts, projects and analyses; (b) financial information and fee structures; (c) business processes,
methods and models; (d) employee and vendor information; (e) hardware and system designs, architectures, structure and protocols; (f) product and service specifications; (g) manufacturing, purchasing, logistics, sales and
marketing information; and (h) the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 9.2 Obligations. The receiving Party will use the
same care and discretion to avoid disclosure, publication or dissemination of any Confidential Information received from the disclosing Party as the receiving Party uses with its own similar information that it does not wish to disclose, publish or
disseminate (and in any event will use commercially reasonable efforts in such regard). The receiving Party will: (a) use the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only in connection with the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement or the full enjoyment of its rights hereunder; and (b) not disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information except to (i) its employees, agents and contractors, who have a need to know such Confidential Information
in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the full enjoyment of its rights hereunder and who have executed Contracts obligating them to keep the Confidential Information confidential, or (ii) its legal,
financial or other professional advisors as reasonably necessary. The receiving Party is liable for any unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information by any of its personnel, agents, subcontractors or advisors. The receiving Party will
promptly report to the disclosing Party any breaches in security of the receiving Party that may materially and adversely affect the disclosing Party and specify the corrective action taken. 
 9.3 Exceptions to Confidential Treatment. 
 (a) The obligations set forth in Section 9.2 do not apply to any Confidential Information that the receiving Party can demonstrate: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a
result of a disclosure by the receiving Party or its Affiliates not otherwise permissible hereunder; (ii) was or became available to the receiving Party from a source other than the disclosing Party or its Affiliates; or (iii) is developed
independently by the receiving Party without reference to the Confidential Information, except that, in the case of clause (ii), the source of such Confidential Information was not known by the receiving Party to be bound by a confidentiality
agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the disclosing Party with respect to such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.3(a) to the contrary, Confidential
Information of Customer related to Customer’s business which was separated from Service Provider will in no event be included within any exception herein and will be subject to Section 9.2 above. 
 (b) If a receiving Party 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 Information of the other Party, the Party receiving such request or demand will use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide the other Party with written notice of such request or demand as promptly as practicable under the circumstances so that such other Party will have an opportunity to seek an appropriate protective Order. The Party
receiving such request or demand agrees to take, and cause its representatives to take, at the requesting Party’s expense, all other 

  

 12 








 
reasonable steps necessary to obtain confidential treatment by the recipient. Subject to the foregoing, the Party that received such request or demand may
thereafter disclose or provide any such Confidential Information, as the case may be, to the extent (and only in such amount) required by such Law (as so advised by counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority. 
 9.4 Return or Destruction. Upon the termination or expiration of the Services, each Party will return or certify the destruction of the other
Party’s Confidential Information in such other Party’s possession or control. 
  

	10.	COMPENSATION 

 10.1 One-time Charges.
Customer will pay to Service Provider a one-time $18,481,000 payment as reimbursement of the fees and expenses incurred by Service Provider and it Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation of providing the Services to Customer. 
 10.2 Monthly Charges. Customer will pay Service Provider $3,667,000 per month. Upon early termination of any individual Service(s) pursuant to
Section 14.1(b) hereof, the parties will cooperate in good faith to adjust the monthly charges paid by Customer hereunder to correspond with the actual Service(s) being provided. Upon the extension of any individual Service(s) pursuant to
Section 2 hereof, Customer will pay to Service Provider the charges set forth in Schedule C for such Service(s) for each month of additional service; provided, however, that if Customer extends only certain individual
Services within a “Service Bundle” set forth in Schedule C, the parties will cooperate in good faith to adjust the monthly charges paid by Customer to correspond with the scope of Services in such “Service Bundle” which
are being extended. 
 10.3 Other Expenses. Customer will reimburse Service Provider for those reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Service Provider solely in connection with its performance of the Services and not included in the Charges; provided, however, that such out-of-pocket expenses will not include payments to third parties for items that were
routinely incurred by Service Provider prior to the Effective Date (such as for overhead and utilities, supplies, and the like) and provided further that Service Provider will consult with Customer prior to incurring any out of pocket expense which
is outside the ordinary course of the business related to the Services.  
 10.4 Taxes. In addition to the amounts
described in Sections 10.1 through 10.3, Customer shall pay, and hold Service Provider harmless against, all sales, use or other Taxes, or other fees or assessments imposed by Law in connection with the provision of the Services, other
than any income or franchise Taxes. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Customer shall apply for and use its best efforts to obtain and thereafter maintain, and timely provide to Service Provider, a direct pay permit. Customer shall
also provide Service Provider with timely resale or other applicable exemption certificates. Service Provider and Customer shall cooperate with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other in entering into such arrangements
as the other may reasonably request in order to minimize, to the extent lawful and feasible, the payment or assessment of any Taxes relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, where appropriate, requiring their Affiliates
within a country to enter into a companion Contract for purchase of Services within such country; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.4 shall obligate Service Provider to cooperate with, or assist, Customer


  

 13 








 
in any arrangement proposed by Customer that would, in Service Provider’s reasonable discretion, have a detrimental effect on Service Provider or any of
Service Provider’s Affiliates. 
 10.5 Invoicing and Payment. Service Provider will invoice Customer monthly. Payment is due
thirty (30) days following the date of invoice. Payments past due shall bear interest calculated on a per annum basis from the due date to the date of actual payment at a fluctuating interest rate equal at all times to the prime rate of
interest announced publicly from time to time by Citibank, N.A. (or its successor or another major money center commercial bank agreed to by the Parties), plus three percent (3%), but in no case higher than the maximum rate permitted by Law.
Customer shall make payments under this Agreement by electronic funds transfer in accordance with payment instructions provided by Service Provider from time to time. In the event the Parties’ Affiliates enter into companion Contracts for the
Services, Customer will remain responsible for paying any amounts which are not paid when due by Customer’s Affiliates under such companion Contracts. 
  

	11.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

 11.1
Authority. Each Party represents and warrants to the other that: (i) it has all requisite legal and corporate power to execute and deliver this Agreement; (ii) it has taken all corporate action necessary for the authorization,
execution and delivery of this Agreement; (iii) no Contract with any other person, firm, corporation or other entity exists or will exist which would interfere with its obligations hereunder; and (iv) this Agreement is a legal, valid and

 11.2 Compliance with Laws. Each Party represents and warrants that it is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in
every jurisdiction in which a license or other qualification is required for the conduct of its business, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would have no material adverse effect on its ability to fulfill its obligations under
this Agreement. 
 11.3 Standard of Performance; Standard of Care. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or any SOW, the
Services will be performed initially in substantially the same manner that the Services were generally performed by Service Provider for the Customer business immediately prior to the Effective Date, and thereafter will continue to be performed in
substantially the same manner as Service Provider generally performs such services for its own retained businesses, except to the extent the Services are limited or changed to reflect the separation of Customer’s and Service Provider’s
businesses as contemplated by the Separation Agreement. In no event will Service Provider be required to make any customization to the Services (or Service Provider’s associated systems or processes) that are unique to Customer, beyond the
customizations that Service Provider elects to make to support its own shared services environment. Service Provider reserves the right to make changes to the Services in the ordinary course of business including with respect to Service
Provider’s planned maintenance activities. The provision of the Services will be subject, in all cases, to Customer’s compliance in all material respects with Service Provider’s then-current work processes, policies and procedures for
the Services and in compliance with all material Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider has no obligation to perform its obligations pursuant to this Section in a manner that exceeds Service Provider’s past practices, policies
and procedures for Services. 

  

 14 








 
Nothing in this Agreement shall require Service Provider or any of its Affiliates to perform the Services in a manner that would constitute a violation of
applicable Laws. 
 11.4 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 11, SERVICE PROVIDER MAKES NO, AND HEREBY
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND THOSE ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. 
  

	12.	INSURANCE

injury, death and property damage combined single limit of not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate. Each policy of insurance to be maintained hereunder shall name the other Party, including its Affiliates, and the officers,
directors and employees of each, as additional insureds. 
 In addition, both Parties shall maintain in full force and effect during the Term
the following insurance coverage: 
 (i) Comprehensive Automobile Liability insurance covering owned, hired and non-owned

 12.3 Risk of Loss. Service Provider shall be responsible for the risk of loss of, or damage to, any property of Customer or the other Recipients
at a Service Provider Facility, unless such loss or damage was caused by the acts or omissions of Customer or an agent of Customer. Customer shall be responsible for the risk of loss of, or damage to, any property of Service Provider and its
Affiliates and subcontractors at a Customer Facility unless such loss or damage was caused by the acts or omissions of Service Provider or an agent of Service Provider. 
  

	13.	INDEMNITIES, PROCEDURES AND LIMITATIONS. 

 13.1
Indemnification by Customer. Customer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Service Provider and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees (the “Service Provider Parties”), from and against

 15 








 (a) any claim by any Affiliate of Customer, or a Customer third party contractor

 (iii) Infringement or misappropriation or alleged infringement or alleged misappropriation of a patent, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights arising from Software or materials that Customer provides for Service
Provider’s use in connection with the Services; provided, however, that Customer shall not have any obligation or liability to the extent any infringement or misappropriation is caused by: (1) modifications made by Service
Provider or its Subcontractors, without the knowledge or approval of Customer or the unauthorized use by Service Provider or its Subcontractors of such Software outside the scope of the Services; (2) Service Provider’s combination of
Customer’s Software or materials with items not furnished, specified or reasonably anticipated by Service Provider or contemplated by this Agreement; (3) the failure of Service Provider to use corrections or modifications provided by
Customer for the infringing Software or materials; or (4) third party Software or materials, except to the extent that such infringement or misappropriation arises from Customer’s failure to perform its obligations with regard to obtaining
a Required Consent; 
 (iv) Taxes, together with interest and penalties, that are the responsibility of Customer under
Section 10.4; or 
 (vii) personal injury to employees of Customer or its Affiliates (or any other entity(ies)
designated by Customer) while at Service Provider’s facility to receive Services under this Agreement, to the extent such Losses do not result from the negligence of Service Provider. 
 13.2 Indemnification by Service Provider. Service Provider agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Customer and its Affiliates and their
respective directors, officers and employees (the “Customer Parties”), from and against any and all Losses set forth below: 
 (a) any claim by a Service Provider Affiliate or Subcontractor asserting rights under this Agreement (other than an express right of indemnification under this Section 13). 
 (b) any third party claim arising out of: 
 (i) Service Provider’s failure to observe or perform any duties or obligations to be observed or performed after the Effective Date under any of the third party Software licenses, Equipment leases or third party
Contracts to the extent Service Provider is 

  

 16 








 
financially or operationally responsible for such compliance under this Agreement, provided that such failure does not arise from or relate to any failure by
Customer to obtain a Required Consent which is Customer’s responsibility pursuant to this Agreement; 
 (ii) Service
Provider’s breach of its obligations under Article 9 with respect to Customer’s Confidential Information; 
 (iii) Infringement or misappropriation or alleged infringement or alleged misappropriation of a patent, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights arising from Software or materials that Service Provider provides for
Customer’s use in connection with the Services; provided, however, that Service Provider shall not have any obligation or liability to the extent any infringement or misappropriation is caused by: (1) modifications made by
Customer or its contractors or users, without the knowledge or approval of Service Provider or the unauthorized use by Customer or its Subcontractors of such Software outside the scope of the Services; (2) Customer’s combination of Service
Provider’s Software or materials with items not furnished, specified or reasonably anticipated by Customer or contemplated by this Agreement; (3) the failure of Customer to use corrections or modifications provided by Service Provider for

 (v) personal injury to
employees of Service Provider or its Affiliates while at facilities of Customer to provide Services under this Agreement, to the extent such Claims do not result from the negligence of Customer. 
 13.3 Reductions For Insurance Proceeds And Other Recoveries. 
 (a) Insurance Proceeds. The amount that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to provide indemnification to or on behalf of
any Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 13.1 or 13.2, as applicable, will be reduced (retroactively or prospectively) by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered from unaffiliated third-parties (and excluding any
captive insurance companies of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates) by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party in respect of the related Claims (net of any corresponding increase in premium payments or other related increases in insurance
expenses of the Indemnified Party). The existence of a claim by an Indemnified Party for monies from an insurer or against a third-party in respect of any indemnifiable Claims will not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification
provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party. Rather, the Indemnifying Party will make payment in full of the amount determined to be due and owing by it against an assignment by the Indemnified
Party to the Indemnifying Party of the entire claim of the Indemnified Party for Insurance Proceeds or against such third-party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties that no insurer or any other
third-party will be (i) entitled to a “wind-fall” or other benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions or otherwise have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, or
(ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated. 
 (b) Tax Detriment/Tax
Benefit. The amount that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to provide indemnification to or on behalf of any Indemnified Party pursuant to 

  

 17 








 
Sections 13.1 or 13.2, as applicable, will be (i) decreased to take into account any Tax benefit actually realized by the
Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof) arising from the incurrence or payment of the relevant indemnified item, and (ii) increased to take into account any Tax cost actually incurred by the Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof)
arising from the receipt of the relevant indemnity payment. Any indemnity payment hereunder will initially be made without regard to this Section 13.3(b) and will be reduced or increased to reflect any applicable Tax benefit or Tax cost,
as the case may be, within 30 days after the Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof) realizes such Tax benefit or incurs such Tax cost by way of a Refund, an increase in Taxes or otherwise. The Indemnified Party will, within 30 days after the
Indemnified Party (or its Affiliate) realizes or incurs the applicable Tax benefit or cost, provide the Indemnitee with notice thereof and supporting documentation addressing, in reasonable detail, the amount of any reduction or increase in Taxes of
the Indemnified Party (or its Affiliate), the parties will promptly make any payments necessary to reflect the relevant reduction or increase in Tax liability, and the parties agree to adjust the amount of any such payments within 30 days after a
Final Determination affecting the amount of the relevant Tax benefit or Tax cost. 
 13.4 Indemnification Procedure. The Party or
Parties making a claim for indemnification under Section 13.1 or Section 13.2 (collectively, “Third-Party Claims”) shall be, for the purposes of this Agreement, referred to as the
“Indemnitee” and the Party against which such claims are asserted under this Section 13 shall be, for the purposes of this Section 13, referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. All Third-Party
Claims by any Indemnitee under this Section 13 shall be asserted and resolved as follows: 
 (a) If an Indemnitee
receives notice or otherwise learns of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the Service Provider Group or Customer Group of any Third-Party Claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any
Action with respect to a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnitee will give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) thereof but in any event within 15 calendar days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim.
Any such notice will describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 13.4(a) will not relieve the
related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 13, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such delay or failure to give notice. 
 (b) The Indemnifying Party has the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnitee within 30 days after receipt of a Claim Notice
from the Indemnitee of the commencement of an Action or assertion of any Third-Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 13, to assume and conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with
the limits set forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that the (A) defense of such Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party will
not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, (x) if Service Provider is the Indemnifying Party, affect Customer or any of its Controlled Affiliates in a materially adverse manner, and (y) if Customer is the Indemnifying Party, affect
Service Provider or any of its Controlled Affiliates in a materially adverse manner; (B) the Third-Party Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages and/or equitable relief (with or without monetary damages) which equitable
relief would not reasonably be expected to affect in any material and adverse respect the operations of (x) Service Provider or its Controlled Affiliates, if Customer is the Indemnifying Party, or (y) Customer or its Controlled Affiliates,
if 

  

 18 








 
Service Provider is the Indemnifying Party; and (C) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees with the Indemnitee in writing to be fully responsible for
all of the Losses that arise from the Third-Party Claim (the conditions set forth in clauses (A) through (C) are, collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”). For purposes of clause (C) of the preceding sentence, if a
Third-Party Claim consists of multiple claims by a plaintiff or group of plaintiffs, and it is reasonably practicable for an Indemnifying Party to control the defense of a subset of the such claims, the Indemnifying Party may elect to agree to be
fully responsible for only all of the Losses that arise from such subset of claims, and may elect to control the defense of only such subset of claims, provided that the other Litigation Conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of the
preceding sentence are satisfied. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 13.4(b), the Indemnitee may continue to defend the Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying
Party has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim as provided in this Section 13.4(b), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of the
Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that if (x) any of the Litigation Conditions ceases to be met or (y) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim, the
Indemnitee may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnitee, as the case may be, has the right to
participate in (but, subject to the prior sentence, not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third-Party Claim that the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any
Third-Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a complete release from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitee has the right to settle any Third-Party Claim, the defense of
which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party, with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice under this Section 13, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its representatives all
reasonable access to the books, records and properties of such Indemnitee to the extent reasonably related to the matters to which the Claim Notice relates. All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under
conditions that will not unreasonably interfere with the businesses and operations of such Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party will not, and shall cause its representatives not to, use (except in connection with such Claim Notice or such Third-Party
Claim) or disclose to any third person or entity other than the Indemnifying Party’s representatives (except as may be required by Laws) any information obtained pursuant to this Section 13.3(c), which is designated as confidential
by the Indemnitee. 
 (d) With respect to any Third-Party Claim for which Customer or Service Provider may have liability
under this Agreement, the Parties agree to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve the attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect thereto) so as to minimize such liabilities and
defense costs associated therewith. The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of such Third-Party Claims will, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may retain counsel to
monitor or assist in the defense of such claims at its own cost. 
  

 19 








 13.5 Limitations on Liability. 
 (a) Subject to the specific provisions and limitations of this Section 13.4 and this Section 13.5, it is the
intent of the Parties that each Party shall be liable to the other Party for any Losses as to which it is entitled to indemnification under Sections 13.1 and 13.2 and, with respect to a breach of the Agreement for any Losses with
respect to Direct Claims under Section 5.6 resulting from a breaching Party’s unexcused failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to Direct Claims, “Losses” will
not include attorneys’ fees or other arbitration or litigation expenses (including without limitation experts’ fees and administrative costs) incurred in connection with the prosecution of such Direct Claim under the provisions set forth
in Article 6 of the Separation Agreement. 
 (b) Except for Losses arising out of or relating to (i) Service
Provider’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of Article 9, or (ii) claims covered by Service Provider’s indemnity obligations set forth in Section 13.2(b), the total aggregate liability of Service
Provider for breach of this Agreement shall be limited to $6,000,000. 
 (c) Except for Losses arising out of or relating to
(i) Customer’s obligation to pay the Charges due under this Agreement, gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of Article 9, or (ii) claims covered by Customer’s indemnity obligations set forth in
Section 13.1(b), the total aggregate liability of Customer for breach of this Agreement shall be limited to $6,000,000. 
 (d) Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses for which it seeks recourse hereunder, including by promptly pursuing recovery under available insurance policies, provided, however, that the
failure of such Party to successfully mitigate such Losses shall not affect such Party’s right to seek recourse with respect to such Losses so long as such Party shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate. 
 (e) EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE TO OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE TO
ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ITS AFFILIATES FOR EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE (OR FAILURE TO PERFORM) HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR SUCH PARTY HAD BEEN APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD THEREOF.

after notice of the Default. For purposes hereof, non-payment by Customer shall be deemed a Default. 
 (b) Termination for
Convenience. Customer may terminate this Agreement or any individual Service (including any individual Service within a “Service Bundle” set forth in Schedule C), if such individual Service(s) can be segregated from the other
Services that will continue to be provided, at any time by giving Service Provider at least sixty (60) days prior written notice designating the termination date. Upon any such termination for convenience, Customer will remain liable for fees
and expenses for all properly performed Services up to the effective date of termination. 
 (c) For Insolvency. If
either Party (i) files for bankruptcy, (ii) becomes or is declared insolvent, or is the subject of any proceedings (not dismissed within sixty (60) days) related to its liquidation, insolvency or the appointment of a receiver or

any undisputed charges within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from Service Provider of the possibility of termination for failure to make such payments.

	15.	GENERAL 

 15.1 Construction. 
 (a) References to Customer Includes Recipients. Customer is fully responsible and liable for the Recipients’ compliance with
this Agreement, and any actions, omissions, or materials provided by any Recipients other than Customer shall be deemed to be Customer’s actions, omissions, or materials provided by Customer. 
 (b) General. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a
substantive part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All references to Sections contained herein mean Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise stated and except in the schedules hereto, wherein references to Sections
shall mean Sections of such schedule unless otherwise stated. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement will include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns, pronouns, and
verbs will include the plural and vice versa. Reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if
applicable hereof. The use of the words “include” or “including” in this Agreement will be by way of example rather than by limitation. The use of the words “or,” “either” or “any” will not be
exclusive. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties
hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 15.2 Binding Effect; No Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives. Except as expressly
provided in this Section 15.2, this Agreement is not assignable by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party and any other purported assignment shall be null and void. 
 15.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one
Party), each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other
electronic transmission, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement and will be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any
Party, the other Party will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to the requesting Party. No Party will raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic means to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature was
transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile machine or other electronic means as a defense to the formation of a Contract and each such Party forever waives any such defense. 
  

 22 








 15.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement among the Parties relating
to the matters described herein and therein, and no prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral, will be binding on any Party unless incorporated into this Agreement or agreed to by the Party in a writing signed by the Party on or
after the date of this Agreement. While purchase orders, invoices or similar routine documents may be used to implement or administer provisions of this Agreement, any provisions of these documents that add to, vary, modify or are at conflict with
the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed deleted and shall have no force or effect on either Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement. 
 15.5 Force Majeure. 
 (a) “Force Majeure Event” means any event
beyond the reasonable control of the Party affected that significantly interferes with the performance by such Party of its obligations under this Agreement, including acts of God, strikes, lockouts or industrial disputes or disturbances, civil
disturbances, arrests or restraint from rulers or people, interruptions by Orders, present and future valid Orders of any regulatory body having proper jurisdiction, acts of the public enemy, wars, riots, blockades, insurrections, inability to
secure labor, or secure materials upon terms deemed practicable by the Party affected (including inability to secure materials by reason of allocations, voluntary or involuntary, promulgated by authorized governmental agencies), epidemics,
landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fire, storm, floods, washouts, explosions, breakage or accident to machinery. 
 (b) If a
Force Majeure Event is claimed by either Party, the Party making such claim shall orally notify the other Party as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event and, in addition, shall provide the other Party with
written notice of such Force Majeure Event within five (5) days after the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event. 
 (c)
Except for Customer’s obligations to make payments hereunder, neither Party hereto will be liable for any nonperformance or delay in performance of the terms of this Agreement when such failure is due to a Force Majeure Event. If either Party
relies on the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event as a basis for being excused from performance of its obligations hereunder, such Party relying on the Force Majeure Event shall (i) provide an estimate of the expected duration of the Force
Majeure Event and its probable impact on performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder and (ii) provide prompt notice to the other Party of the cessation of the Force Majeure Event. 
 (d) Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the same will, so far as possible, be remedied using commercially reasonable efforts. It
is understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 15.5(d) shall require the settlement of strikes, lockouts or industrial disputes or disturbances by acceding to the demands of any opposing party therein when such course is
inadvisable in the discretion of the Party having the difficulty. 
 15.6 Further Assurances. In addition to the actions specifically
provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto will cooperate with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably
necessary on its part under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

governed by the Laws of the State of Ohio, other than the choice of Law provisions thereof. 
 15.8 Independent Contractors. Service
Provider is an independent contractor, with all of the attendant rights and liabilities of an independent contractor, and not an employee of Customer or, except for authorizations specifically described in a schedule with respect to a particular
function, an agent of Customer. Any provision in this Agreement, or any action by Customer, that may appear to give Customer the right to direct or control Service Provider in performing under this Agreement means that Service Provider shall follow
the desires of Customer in results only.

be in writing and will be deemed to have been given (i) on the delivery if delivered personally, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; (ii) on the date on which delivery thereof is guaranteed by the carrier if delivered by a national
courier guaranteeing delivery within a fixed number of days of sending; or (iii) on the date of transmission thereof if delivery is confirmed, but, in each case, only if addressed to the Parties in the following manner at the following

 15.11 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended and any provision of this Agreement
may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon a Party only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a writing executed by such Party. No course of dealing between or among any Persons having any interest in this
Agreement shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Party hereto under or by reason of this Agreement. No delay or failure in exercising any right, power or remedy

right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that any Party hereto would otherwise have. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character of any breach or
default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision of this Agreement must satisfy the conditions set forth in this Section 15.11 and shall be effective only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth.

whatsoever any of the provisions hereof are invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, (ii) any such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by other provisions which are as similar as possible in terms to such
invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions but are valid and enforceable, and (iii) the remaining provisions shall remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.
