Services Agreement



 Exhibit 10.5 

 
 TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT 

 
 This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), dated as of December 31, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between LINC Logistics Company, a Michigan corporation (“LINC”), and CenTra, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“CenTra”). 
  
 RECITALS 

 
 A. CenTra intends to distribute on the date hereof all the
outstanding shares of common stock of LINC pro rata to holders of CenTra’s capital stock (the “Distribution”). 
  

B. In connection with the Distribution, LINC desires to insure that certain services currently being furnished by CenTra and certain
CenTra subsidiaries will continue to be supplied to LINC without interruption for a reasonable transition period following the Distribution, and CenTra wishes to provide such services or cause such services to be provided to LINC for a reasonable
transition period. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, together with other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

 
 ARTICLE I 

Services and Pricing 
  

1.1 Transition Services. Following the Distribution, CenTra shall provide or cause to be provided to LINC and its subsidiaries,
during the term of this Agreement, those services which CenTra and its subsidiaries have provided to LINC and LINC’s subsidiaries during the two years prior to the Distribution, as requested from time to time by LINC (the “Transition
Services”). CenTra shall not be obligated to expand the scope of the Transition Services significantly beyond the scope of services being provided to LINC prior to the Distribution. 

 
 1.2 Compensation for Transition Services. LINC shall
pay CenTra a reasonable amount for the Transition Services not to exceed the cost of such services which would be charged by third party providers dealing with LINC on an arm’s length basis. However, in no event shall CenTra be required to
provide the Transition Services to LINC at less than CenTra’s cost of performance. CenTra shall bill LINC for the Transition Services at such times and from time to time consistent with reasonable commercial practice. 

 
 1.3 Additional Services. The parties agree to use
commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on any additional services which LINC may require of CenTra beyond the scope of the Transition Services (the “Additional Services”) and the applicable service fees, payment procedures and
other rights and obligations with respect thereto. The parties further agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on any services which CenTra may require of LINC from time to time during the term of this Agreement, and the
applicable 
  

 1 








 
service fees, whether on a fixed or variable basis, payment procedures, and other rights and obligations with respect thereto. 

 
 1.4 Cooperation. LINC agrees to use its reasonable
best efforts to cooperate with and provide any information necessary to facilitate CenTra’s ability to provide the Transition Services. Each party will use its commercially reasonable efforts, and will cooperate as reasonably required, to
obtain any consents or approvals from third parties necessary to facilitate the ability of CenTra to provide the Transaction Services and the Additional Services. 

 
 ARTICLE II 

Term 
  

2.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect with respect to each of the
Transition Services until such time as LINC shall request CenTra to cease performing such services; provided that CenTra shall not be obligated, except as provided in Section 2.2, to continue to provide the Transition Services after the second
anniversary of the Effective Date unless the parties otherwise agree to do so. 
  

2.2 Termination. This Agreement may not be terminated by either party for any reason other than a material default in the delivery
of Transition Services or payment therefor as herein provided. Unless otherwise extended by agreement of the parties in writing, this Agreement shall expire on the second anniversary of the Effective Date, except for any Transition Services not then
completed, as to which this Agreement shall expire upon completion of those Transition Services. 
  

ARTICLE III 

Cooperation of the Parties 
  

3.1 Access to Personnel and Records. CenTra and LINC shall cooperate each with the other in providing reasonable access to
personnel and records needed to perform or document the Transition Services and their cost. 
  

3.2 Further Assurances. CenTra and LINC shall take all other actions reasonably necessary for the Transition Services to be
performed on a timely basis and in a manner consistent with past care and practice unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing. 
  

ARTICLE IV 

Limitations on Liability 
  

4.1 Standard of Care. In the performance of the Transition Services, CenTra shall exercise the degree of care normally exercised by
it in connection with its own affairs, and consistent with the standard of care exercised in delivering services to LINC prior to the Distribution. Except in cases of gross negligence, willful misconduct or intentional breach, CenTra shall have no
liability to LINC with regard to the breach of any duty or obligation to LINC herein set forth. 
  

 2 








 4.2 Limitation on Damages. In no event shall CenTra be liable to LINC for any
special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or similar damages, including but not limited to lost profits, loss of data or business interruption losses. This limitation shall apply even if the CenTra has been notified of the possibility
or likelihood of such damages occurring and regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, negligence, strict liability, tort, products liability or otherwise. 
  

 ARTICLE V 

Miscellaneous

contemporaneous agreements and understandings (including term sheets), both written and oral, between the parties hereto, or either of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

of this Agreement and no person (other than as so specified) shall be deemed a third party beneficiary under or by reason of this Agreement. 
  

5.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but
all of which together shall constitute one agreement binding on LINC and CenTra, notwithstanding that not all parties are signatories to the same counterpart. 
  

5.7 Confidentiality. CenTra and LINC shall make reasonable efforts to preserve in strict confidence any confidential information
obtained from the other party and identified as

such by such other party, and shall refrain from (i) disclosing any such information without the prior written consent of the other party, except as required by law or (ii) using such

conditions of Section 5.7 hereof.
