 2.1 Scheduled
Services. Subject to Article 7 hereof, Man will provide to Westway the Man Services, and Westway will provide to Man the Westway Services, commencing with the date hereof and continuing until terminated in accordance with Section 7
hereof. It is understood by the parties that the quantity of Services to be provided under this Section 2.1 shall be substantially consistent with recent historical practice. Where the quantity of Services to be provided to either party is
greater than an amount that is substantially consistent with recent historical practice, the party providing such Services reserves the right (after so advising the other party) to utilize third-party providers to provide the Services. 

2.2 Unscheduled Services. Man will employ its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Other Services to Westway as are reasonably
requested by Westway. Westway will employ its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Other Services to Man as are reasonably requested by Man. Other Services provided by one party to the other will be charged based upon the Fully Allocated
Cost of such Services based upon actual hours worked, unless otherwise agreed, which agreement shall be pursued in good faith by both parties. 
 2.3 Consent of Third Parties. The parties’ obligation to deliver any Service described in this Agreement is conditional upon such party’s obtaining the consent, where necessary, of any relevant third party provider,
provided, however, that if such consent cannot be obtained, the parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to arrange for alternative methods of delivering such Service. For the avoidance of doubt, the party responsible
for delivering a particular Service will be responsible for obtaining any required licenses or consents necessary to deliver such Service. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall affect Man’s and its
affiliates’ obligations to obtain consents pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Transaction Agreement. 
 2.4 Financial
Reporting. With respect to NA Accounting Support Services provided by Westway to Man and ROW Accounting Support Services provided by Man to Westway, all Accounting Support Services and access to accounting information and systems shall be
provided, on a time schedule and in a manner consistent with recent historical practice. All third-party invoices, financial reports and accounting information shall be in substantially the form currently provided.

	3.	PRICING, BILLING AND PAYMENT 

 3.1 Fees. All
Services will be charged to and payable by recipient of such Services at the Fully Allocated Cost of such Service. 
 3.2 Payment.
Charges for Services shall be billed monthly by the Service Provider and shall be payable by the Service Recipient on the fifteenth day of the month following the month in which such Services are rendered. 
 3.3 Misdirected Funds. Each party will remit to the other any misdirected funds such other party that it collects, without set-off for charges for
Services. 
  

	4.	WARRANTY, LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY 

 4.1 Standard
of Service. The parties shall provide Services to one another in a manner consistent with the manner they have heretofore been provided. Neither party makes any other warranties, express or implied, with respect to the Services to be provided by
such party hereunder. 
 4.2 Limitation of Liability. The maximum liability of the Service Provider to, and the sole remedy of, the
Service Recipient for breach of this Agreement or otherwise with respect to Services is a refund of the price paid for the particular Service or, at the option of Service Recipient, a redelivery (or delivery) of the Service, unless the breach arises
out of the gross negligence or willful failure of performance of the Service Provider. In no event shall either party be liable to the other for any consequential, punitive or special damages arising out of this Agreement, whether resulting from
negligence or otherwise. 
 4.3 Indemnity. 
 (a) Man agrees to indemnify and hold Westway harmless from any damages, loss, cost or liability (including legal fees and expenses and the
cost of enforcing this indemnity) arising out of or resulting from a third-party claim regarding Man’s performance, purported performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (whether arising out of Man’s negligence, intentional misconduct,
or otherwise), provided, however, that Man will not indemnify Westway to the extent that such third-party claim directly arises out of or results from Westway’s performance, purported performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (whether
arising out of Westway’s negligence, intentional misconduct, or otherwise). 
 (b) Westway agrees to indemnify and hold
Man harmless from any damages, loss, cost or liability (including legal fees and expenses and the cost of enforcing this indemnity) arising out of or resulting from a third-party claim regarding Westway’s performance, purported performance or
nonperformance of this Agreement (whether arising out of Westway’s negligence, intentional misconduct, or otherwise), provided, however, that Westway will not indemnify Man to the extent that such third-party claim directly arises out of or
results from Man’s performance, purported performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (whether arising out of Man’s negligence, intentional misconduct, or otherwise).

	5.	FORCE MAJEURE 

 Either party shall be temporarily
excused from performance under this Agreement if any force majeure, including but not limited to disaster, fire, war, civil commotion, strike, labor shortage, slowdown, or the unavailability of labor, governmental regulation, energy shortage, or
other occurrence beyond the reasonable control of such party should have happened and made it impossible for such party to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Under such circumstances, performance under this Agreement that relates to the
delay shall be suspended for the duration of the delay, provided that the party so affected resumes the performance of its obligations with due diligence as soon as practicable after the effects of such event have been alleviated and provided that
no such event shall relieve either party from any of its payment obligations hereunder. In case of any such suspension, the parties shall use their best efforts to overcome the cause and effect of such suspension, but in no event shall either party
be required to settle any litigation, strike, lockout or other labor difficulty contrary to its best interests in its sole discretion. The provisions of this Section 5 will not excuse any failure to pay, or delay the time for payment of, any
sum of money owing pursuant to this Agreement. 
  

	6.	PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND RIGHTS 

 6.1
Confidentiality. Each party acknowledges that the other possesses, and will continue to possess, information that has been created, discovered or developed by them and/or in which property rights have been assigned or otherwise conveyed to
them, which information has commercial value and is not in the public domain. The proprietary information of each party will be and remain the sole property of such party and its assigns. Each party shall use the same degree of care that it normally
uses to protect its own proprietary information to prevent the disclosure to third parties of information that has been identified as proprietary by written notice to such party from the other party. Neither party shall make any use of the
information on the other which has been identified as proprietary except as contemplated or required by the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6 shall not apply to any information that a party can demonstrate:
(a) was, at the time of disclosure to it, in the public domain through no fault of such party; (b) was received after disclosure to it from a third party who had a lawful right to disclose such information to it; or (c) was
independently developed by the receiving party. 
 6.2 Nonsolicitation of Employees. Each party, on behalf of itself and its
affiliates, agrees not to, directly or indirectly, (a) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the other party or its affiliates (individually and collectively, the “Employer”) to leave the employ of the Employer; (b) in any
way interfere with the relationship between the Employer and any of its employees; (c) employ or otherwise engage (as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise) any current or former employee of the Employer within six months following
such employee’s separation from employment of the Employer; or (d) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other person to cease doing business with the other party or its affiliates or in any way interfere with the
relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or other business entity and the other party or its affiliates.
