corporate purchasing contracts, master services agreements, vendor contracts, software and other Intellectual Property licenses or similar agreements unrelated to the Company Services (the “Company Vendor Agreements” and, together with the Genworth Vendor Agreements, the “Vendor Agreements”) under which (or under open work orders thereunder) Genworth and its Affiliates purchase goods or services, license rights to use Intellectual Property and realize certain other benefits and rights. The Parties hereby agree that Genworth and its Affiliates shall continue to retain the right to purchase goods or services and continue to realize such other benefits and rights under each Company Vendor Agreement to the extent allowed by such Company Vendor Agreement (“Genworth Purchasing Rights”) until the expiration or termination date of such Genworth Purchasing Rights pursuant to the terms of such Company Vendor Agreement (including any voluntary termination of such Company Vendor Agreement by the Company). Additionally, for so long as the Genworth Purchasing Rights remain in full force and effect under a Company Vendor Agreement and Genworth or its Affiliates continue to exercise their Genworth Purchasing Rights under such Company Vendor Agreement and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, upon the written request of Genworth, to assist Genworth in obtaining a purchasing contract, master services agreement, vendor contract or similar agreement directly with the third party provider that is a party to a Company Vendor Agreement. If:
(i)    the Company has the right to allow Genworth and its Affiliates to continue exercising the right to purchase goods or services as Genworth Purchasing Rights under a Company Vendor Agreement beyond the Agreement Termination Date; and
(ii)    Genworth requests from the Company an extension of those Genworth Purchasing Rights under that Company Vendor Agreement beyond the Agreement Termination Date,
Then the Company will continue to allow Genworth and its Affiliates to exercise those Genworth Purchasing Rights under that Company Vendor Agreement until the earlier of:
(A)    twelve (12) months after the Agreement Termination Date; and
(B)    the date that the Company ceases to have the right to allow Genworth or its Affiliates to continue exercising Genworth Purchasing Rights under that Company Vendor Agreement.

(d)    Genworth shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis each member of the Company Group and each of their respective directors, officers and

employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the Company Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or resulting from Genworth or any of its Affiliates purchasing goods or services, licensing rights to use Intellectual Property or otherwise realizing benefits and rights under any Company Vendor Agreements.
(e)    “After-Tax Basis” means, with respect to any indemnification payment to be actually or constructively received by any Person, the amount of the payment (i) increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt or accrual of an indemnification payment hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from incurring or paying such Liability. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt or accrual of any indemnification payment hereunder or incurring or paying any indemnified Liability. Any indemnification payment hereunder shall initially be made without regard to this Section 3.01 and shall be increased or reduced to reflect any such net Tax cost (including gross-up) or net Tax benefit only after the Indemnified Party has actually realized such cost or benefit. For purposes of this Agreement, an Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have “actually realized” a net Tax cost or a net Tax benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes payable by such Indemnified Party is increased above or reduced below, as the case may be, the amount of Taxes that such Indemnified Party would be required to pay but for the receipt or accrual of the indemnification payment or the incurrence or payment of such Liability, as the case may be. The amount of any increase or reduction hereunder shall be adjusted to reflect any “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code) with respect to the Indemnified Party’s liability for Taxes, and payments between such indemnified Parties to reflect such adjustment shall be made if necessary. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties hereto agree that any indemnity payment made hereunder shall be treated as a capital contribution or dividend distribution, as the case may be, immediately prior to the date of any initial public offering of Company Common Stock, and, accordingly, not includible in the taxable income of the recipient or deductible by the payor. 
SECTION 3.02    Termination of Agreements.

A party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event: (i) notify the other party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practical.
