This  will include the current senior management team of the Business as well as leaders and staff  who, when combined with supplementation of specific skills via third party contracts, will  possess the skills, tools and experience to meet certain operational, administrative, risk  management, compliance, accounting, human resources, information services, security, and  other needs of the merged companies;    WHEREAS, Purchaser personnel shall in all situations after the acquisition retain  control of all management decisions, and any support received from the Seller shall be for  historical information, transition, or advisory purposes only, and    WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller recognize that in specific areas it may be highly  desired that, after the Closing, the Purchaser have access to employees, resources,  historical records or institutional memory of specific individuals of the Seller, and that  Purchaser shall procure from Seller, certain advisory services and information, as set forth  herein.    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants set forth herein  and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby  acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:       

 

  2   ARTICLE I   TRANSITION SERVICES    Section 1.1 Transition Services.    (a) Scope and Duration of Seller Transition Services. Seller, itself and/or by and  through its Affiliates, and its and their respective employees, agents or contractors, shall  provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser, solely for the benefit of Purchaser, those services  set forth on Annex A hereto and in a manner consistent with the Introduction, as it may be  amended from  time to time by mutual written agreement of the Parties (collectively, the  “Seller Transition Services”) until the earlier of (i) expiration of the service period applicable  to such Transition Services as set forth with respect to each applicable Seller Transition  Service on Annex A hereto, or (ii) expiration of the Term (as defined below). Seller shall  provide the advisory services or institutional memory based upon the need identified by the  Purchaser to the Seller. Seller shall not be required to perform Seller Transition Services  hereunder in any manner that violates any applicable law or regulation, or the principles set  forth in the Introduction to this Agreement. It is acknowledged by Seller that the objective of  this Agreement is to obligate Seller to provide, throughout the Term, any and all agreed upon  advisory services and advice that is requested by Purchaser with respect to the assets  purchased and employees hired pursuant to the Merger Agreement.    (b) Modified Transition Services. Any modifications to the Transition Services  shall be subject to mutual agreement pursuant to ARTICLE IX hereof.    (c) Subcontractors. Upon prior consent of the other Party, which consent shall  not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Seller may subcontract with a qualified  unaffiliated third party (a “Subcontractor”) to provide any Transition Services; provided that  no notice shall be required with respect to the continued use of subcontractors in the manner  utilized by Seller in connection with the Business immediately prior to the Closing, or with  respect to changes in subcontractors which are consistent with Seller’s operation of the  Business immediately prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding any subcontracting of Seller’s  obligations under this Agreement, Seller shall, for the term of this Agreement, remain  primarily liable for the delivery and performance of the Transition Services.    (d) Scope and Duration of Purchaser Transition Services. Purchaser, itself  and/or by and through its respective employees, shall provide or cause to be provided to  Seller, solely for the benefit of Seller, those services set forth on Annex B hereto, as it may  be amended from time to time by mutual written agreement of the Parties (collectively, the  “Purchaser Transition Services”) until the expiration of the service period applicable to  such Transition Services as set forth with respect to the applicable Seller Transition Service  on Annex B hereto.    Section 1.2 Service Coordinators and Issue Resolution.    (a) Seller and Purchaser each hereby appoint as service coordinators their  respective employees identified on Schedule 1.2 hereto (each, a “Service Coordinator”) to  

 

  3   be the primary point of contact between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Transition  Services, including, and subject to the terms of this Schedule 1.2, with respect to disputes  between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the provision of Transition  Services hereunder. Each Party shall have the right, upon reasonable advance written notice to  the other Party, to replace its Service Coordinator with an employee or officer of such Party  with comparable knowledge, expertise, and decision-making authority.    (b) In the event the Service Coordinators fail to resolve any dispute arising between  the Parties in connection with the Transition Services within a reasonable time of receiving  notice of such dispute from a Party, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of such  notification, then Purchaser shall designate an officer or officers holding the office of Senior  Vice President (or equivalent office) or above (such officers, the “Senior Officers”) and such  Senior Officers shall attempt in good faith to conclusively resolve any such dispute (i) with the  members of an operating committee designated by Seller, and (ii) in the event the Senior  Officers and operating committee fail to resolve the dispute, an executive committee shall be  designated by Seller and Purchaser. If the Senior Officers and the operating and executive  committees designated by Seller and Purchaser cannot resolve such dispute within a  reasonable period of time, and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days of the referral of  such dispute to them, either Party may submit the dispute to litigation as provided for in  Section 10.8.    (c) Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be submitted for  resolution pursuant to this Section 1.2 before any Party may commence any legal proceeding  in connection therewith. A Party’s failure to comply with the preceding sentence shall  constitute cause for the dismissal without prejudice of any such legal proceeding. This  Section 1.2(c) is without prejudice to either Party’s right to seek interim relief against the  other Party (such as an injunction) to protect its rights and interests, or to enforce the  obligations of the other Party and the parties need not negotiate disputes with respect to  equitable remedies prior to seeking relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.    Section 1.3 Migration Plan.    (a) On or prior to the date hereof, the Parties shall have negotiated and materially  finalized a plan to transition from the performance of the Seller Transition Services by Seller  and its Affiliates to the performance of such services by Purchaser, including moving the  information technology systems and data used in the Business from Seller’s infrastructure to  Purchaser’s or its designee’s infrastructure (“Migration”) (such plan, the “Migration Plan”).  The Migration Plan must include full conversion support of the general ledger and data center  network systems to FIS, if not completed at the time of closing. The Migration Plan shall  include a governance and arbitration process, in which both Parties shall agree to participate,  which shall be subject to the change request process set forth in ARTICLE IX.    (b) Purchaser shall be responsible for the Migration, including the construction and  deployment of any systems or physical space required for the Migration. Seller shall use  commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in completing the Migration. Purchaser  shall be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by Purchaser and reasonable out-of- 

 

  4   pocket third-party costs of Seller incurred in the course of providing any assistance with the  Migration requested by Purchaser.    (c) The Parties acknowledge that the Migration Plan is a document that may  change, and any such material changes will be subject to the change control process set forth  in ARTICLE IX. Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to perform its  obligations under the Migration Plan according to the schedule set forth in the Migration Plan,  and each Party shall use sufficient and qualified resources and personnel to implement the  Migration Plan, taking into account the need to reasonably manage the cost of such transition  and minimize the disruption to the ongoing business activities of the Parties.    Section 1.4 Additional Transition Services. If requested by Purchaser, Seller shall  provide services in addition to the Transition Services (“Additional Transition Services”), as  may be agreed pursuant to the Change Control process set forth in ARTICLE IX. The scope  of any such Additional Transition Services, as well as the prices and other terms applicable to  such additional services, shall be as mutually agreed by Purchaser and Seller and shall be  consistent with the principles set forth in the Introduction to this Agreement, and as further  contemplated by ARTICLE IX.    Section 1.5 Standard of Performance. Seller shall use commercially reasonable  efforts to perform or procure the provision of the Transition Services for Purchaser to  standards of performance comparable in all material respects to which such Transition  Services were performed by Seller or its Affiliates in connection with the Business  immediately prior to Closing; provided that Seller shall not be responsible for the  performance of any product programs or features developed and/or implemented by Purchaser  after the Closing Date.    Section 1.6 Access. Each Party shall use good faith efforts to provide the other  Party with access to information and computer systems, facilities, networks (including voice  or data networks) or software to the extent reasonably necessary and in accordance with any  applicable laws and regulations to enable the provision of Transition Services contemplated  by this Agreement, subject to Section 7 hereof. The Party requesting access shall give the  other Party reasonable prior written notice and justification of the need for such access.    Section 1.7 Independent Contractor. For all purposes hereof, each Party shall at  all times act as an independent contractor and shall have no authority to represent the other  Party in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent, lawyer, employee, representative, joint  ventures or fiduciary of such other Party nor shall this Agreement or the transactions  contemplated hereby be deemed to create any joint venture between the Parties.

(a) Each Party acknowledges that, in connection with the performance by a Party  of its obligations hereunder, such Party may be provided with information about confidential  and proprietary information of the other Party and third parties with which the other Party  conducts business. The confidential information of such other Party and third parties is  defined below and is collectively referred to as “Confidential Information.” In recognition  of the foregoing, each Party covenants and agrees:    (i) that it will keep and maintain all Confidential Information in  confidence, using such degree of care as is appropriate to avoid unauthorized use or  disclosure;    (ii) that it will not, directly or indirectly, disclose any Confidential  Information to anyone outside of the other Party or the Related Parties, as  provided herein, except with the other Party’s prior written consent or as may be  permitted under this ARTICLE VII;    (iii) that such Party will not make use of any Confidential Information for its  own purpose or the benefit of anyone or any other entity other than the other Party,  

 

  9   provided that Purchaser can make use of any Confidential Information related to the  Business in its operation of the Business; and    (iv) that such Party will take no action with respect to the  Confidential Information that is inconsistent with its confidential and  proprietary nature.    (b) Each Party shall be permitted to disclose the Confidential Information only  as follows:    (i) to its employees, agents, auditors, counsel, directors, officers, and  contractors (“Related Parties”) and Subcontractors, having a need to know such  information in connection with the performance of the Transition Services. Each  Party shall be responsible for all its Related Parties and Subcontractors’ compliance  with the terms of this Agreement; and    (ii) if disclosure is required by applicable law or regulation, provided that  a Party shall notify the other Party in writing as soon as reasonably practicable in  advance of such disclosure, and provide the other Party with copies of any related  information so that the other Party may take appropriate action to protect the  Confidential Information.    (c) For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall include  all business information of the other Party, including but not limited to the following:    (i) information relating to the other Party’s planned or existing  computer systems and systems architecture, including computer hardware,  computer software, documentation, methods of processing and operational  methods;    (ii) sales, profits, organizational restructuring, new business initiatives  and financial information;    (iii) information that describes the other Party’s products, including  product designs, and how such products are administered and managed;    (iv) information that describes the other Party’s product strategies,  tax interpretations, tax positions and treatment of any item;    (v) confidential information and software of, and contracts with (and any  information related thereto), third parties with which the other Party conducts  business;    (vi) information relating to the other Party’s customers; and    (vii) Seller’s customer information that is inadvertently accessed in  

 

  10   accordance with Section 1.6 of the Agreement.

A breaching Party shall not object to the entry of an injunction  or other equitable relief against such Party on the basis that an adequate remedy is available at  law or lack of irreparable harm. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Party shall advise  the other Party promptly in the event that it learns or has reason to believe that any person or  entity, which has had access to Confidential Information, has violated or intends to violate the  terms of this Agreement.
