 Section 2.2    Obligation to
Remit Taxes. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties each shall remit or cause to be remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority any Taxes due in respect of any Tax Return that it is required to file hereunder (or, in the case of a Tax
for which no Tax Return is required to be filed, which is otherwise payable by it to any Taxing Authority) and shall be entitled to reimbursement for such payments to the extent provided herein; provided, however, that in the case of
any Tax Return required to be filed under Section 2.1(a) or (b), the Party not required to file such Tax Return shall remit to the Party required to file such Tax Return in immediately available funds the amount of
any Taxes reflected on such Tax Return for which the former Party is responsible hereunder at least two (2) Business Days before payment of the relevant amount is due to a taxing Authority. 

Section 2.3    Allocation of and Indemnification for Taxes. 

(a)    Indemnification. The SpinCo Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Linn
(including Linn subsidiaries) from and against, without duplication, (i) all Taxes of the Parties for all Pre-Spin Periods and the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (including any
Taxes attributable to Linn’s ownership of the 50% interest in Roan Resources attributable to all Pre-Spin Periods and the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date), (ii) all Spinoff
Taxes, and (iii) all Taxes of the SpinCo Parties for any Post-Spin Period or Straddle Period; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the SpinCo Parties be responsible for Taxes attributable to the ownership of Roan

ownership or operation of the Roan Business, Linn or the Linn subsidiaries for any Post-Spin Period and the portion of the Straddle Period that begins after the Closing Date, or (ii) attributable to a failure to comply with
Section 3.2. For the avoidance of doubt, any entity-level Taxes of Roan Resources (which, for the avoidance 

  
 7 

 
of doubt, shall exclude Taxes not payable by Roan Resources that are allocated or attributed to any owner of Roan Resources, such as an owner’s distributive share of the taxable income of
Roan Resources under Code § 702) for all Tax periods shall remain the obligation of Roan Resources. Any indemnification payable under this Section 2.3(a) shall be limited in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the
actual cash payment owed to a governmental authority and (ii) the fees, expenses or costs (including attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees, experts’ fees and other professional fees) in connection with the indemnification and
defense contemplated in this Section 2.3(a). Any potential liability under this paragraph shall expire sixty (60) days following the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations unless a claim has been asserted on
or before such date. 
 (b)    Straddle Period Taxes. In the case of Taxes (other than Taxes allocated pursuant
to Section 2.3(a)) that are attributable to a Straddle Period, such Taxes shall be allocated between the portion of the Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period that begins after
the Closing Date based on a Closing-of-the-Books Method. For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of this provision is to, among
other things, provide that the SpinCo Parties shall not be liable under Section 2.3(a) for Taxes attributable to the ownership or operation of the Roan Business following the Spinoff. 

(c)    Change of Control. As a condition to and immediately upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, SpinCo and
the SpinCo Subsidiaries shall cause the successor to SpinCo or any SpinCo Subsidiary involved in such Change of Control to assume the performance of all obligations of SpinCo and the SpinCo Subsidiaries hereunder as if the successor were a Party to
this Agreement from its initial date. In the event that either (i) SpinCo or such SpinCo Subsidiaries are unable to cause the successor to assume the obligations of this Agreement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence or (ii) such
successor does not have the financial wherewithal to perform the obligations of SpinCo or the SpinCo Subsidiaries that are the subject of the Change of Control, then as a condition to the effectiveness of the Change of Control, SpinCo and each
affected SpinCo Subsidiary shall cause liquid assets to be set aside in a third party administered escrow or paid to Linn in amounts mutually agreed upon by SpinCo and Linn to support the indemnity obligations of SpinCo or such affected SpinCo
Subsidiary under this Agreement with respect to any disputes as to Basis Matters; provided that if SpinCo and Linn cannot reach agreement as to such amounts within thirty (30) days following the Change of Control giving rise to the obligations
under this Section 2.3(c), either SpinCo or Linn may submit such dispute to resolution in accordance with Section 2.6. 

Section 2.4    Refunds. Allocation of Refunds and Tax Benefits. The following refunds of Taxes and Tax
Benefits shall be allocated to SpinCo: (i) refunds of Taxes of the Parties with respect to any Pre-Spin Period or the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date; (ii) refunds of
Spinoff Taxes; (iii) refunds of any Taxes of the SpinCo Parties; and (iv) any Tax Benefit derived from any Tax attribute (including, but not limited to, net operating loss carryforwards, alternative minimum tax credits, general business
credits, or sales tax refunds) that (A) was generated in or attributable to the Pre-Spin Period or the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date by the SpinCo Parties or (B) is
generated in or attributable to the Post-Spin Period or the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date by the SpinCo Parties; in each case of clauses (i)-(iv) of this Section 2.4 including, for the avoidance of doubt, any
refunds of Taxes and Tax Benefits attributable to the ownership of the 50% interest 

  
 8 

 
in Roan Resources attributable to all Pre-Spin Periods and the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, but shall not include any refunds
of Taxes or Tax Benefits attributable to any entity level Taxes of Roan Resources, shall be allocated and be those of Linn. All other refunds of Taxes shall be allocated to Linn. Any potential payment obligations under this
Section 2.4 shall be extinguished sixty (60) days after the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations or, in the case of any potential Tax Benefit attributable to the use of Tax attributes (such as NOLs or
current-year operating losses) that exist as of the end of the U.S. federal income Tax year ending after January 31, 2018 and on or before January 31, 2019, sixty (60) days after the fourth anniversary of the end of such Tax year, in each case,
unless a claim has been asserted on or before such date. 
 Section 2.5    Amended Returns. Except as
required by applicable Law, if any amendment of a Tax Return by a Party would give rise to an indemnification obligation by another Party hereunder pursuant to Section 2.3, such Party shall not have the right to amend any
such Tax Return without the consent of the Party on whom the indemnity obligation under Section 2.3 is imposed, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

Section 2.6    Dispute Resolution. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreement arising
with respect to this Agreement, including any dispute in connection with a claim by a third party (a “Dispute”). Either Linn or SpinCo (on its own behalf or on behalf of any of the SpinCo Subsidiaries) may give the other Party
(SpinCo or Linn, as applicable) written notice of any Dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. If the Parties cannot agree within ten (10) Business Days following the date on which one Party gives such notice (the “Dispute
Date”), then the Dispute shall be determined as follows: within twenty (20) Business Days of the Dispute Date, a mutually agreeable national accounting firm or tax attorney shall be appointed to resolve such Dispute. The aggregate
expenses of the arbitrator shall be split based on the relative success of each Party to the arbitration, as determined by the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered no later than sixty (60) Business Days from the Dispute
Date and, unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, the Parties agree that such decision is final and the Parties shall not take any position inconsistent with such arbitrator’s determination. Notwithstanding the period of time
provisions of this Section 2.6, if to observe the time periods of this Section 2.6 in connection with a Dispute relating to comments to Tax Returns under Section 2.1(a)
will result in the Dispute being resolved after the final extended filing date for the Tax Return for which there is a Dispute, then all such time periods shall be adjusted and reduced on a proportional basis such that the Dispute is capable of
being resolved in a timely manner before the final extended filing date for such Tax Return.

Section 2.3(a) shall be determined by SpinCo, and (a) the Tax Returns prepared and filed pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) and (b) shall be prepared consistently with such determination unless Linn

accrual of any such payment that is an indemnification payment (including a payment pursuant to Section 2.3), results in Taxable income (including an increase in the amount of any gain or other income realized in the
Spinoff) to the recipient thereof, such payment shall be increased so that, after the payment of any Taxes with respect to the payment, the recipient thereof shall have realized the same net amount it would have realized had the payment not resulted
in Taxable income. To the extent that any Party is liable for Taxes for which the other Party is responsible hereunder and such liability for Taxes gives rise to a Tax Benefit to the former Party, the amount of any payment made to the former Party
by the latter Party shall be decreased by taking into account any resulting reduction in Taxes of the former Party. If a reduction in Taxes of the former Party occurs in a Taxable period following the period in which the payment is made by the
latter Party, the former Party shall promptly repay the latter Party the amount of such reduction when actually realized. 

Section 4.3    Notice. The Parties shall give each other prompt written notice of any payment that may be due
to the provider of such notice under this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE V 

TAX CONTESTS 

Section 5.1    Notice of Tax Contests. Linn shall promptly notify SpinCo in writing upon receipt by Linn of a
written communication from any Taxing Authority with respect to any pending or threatened audit, dispute, suit, action, proposed assessment or other proceeding (a “Tax Contest”) concerning any Tax Return or otherwise concerning
Taxes for which SpinCo may be liable under this Agreement. SpinCo shall promptly notify Linn in writing upon receipt by SpinCo of a written communication from any Taxing Authority with respect to any Tax Contest concerning any Tax Return or
otherwise concerning Taxes for which Linn (including Roan Resources and all other Linn affiliates or subsidiaries) may be liable under this Agreement or for which SpinCo may have an obligation to indemnify under
Section 2.3. 
 Section 5.2    Control of Contests. SpinCo shall have the sole
responsibility and control (at its own cost and expense) over the handling of any Tax Contest, including the exclusive right to communicate with agents of the Taxing Authority, primarily involving any Tax for which SpinCo may be liable under this
Agreement; provided, that SpinCo shall not agree to or consent to any adjustment that would result in a Tax payable by Linn pursuant to this Agreement or a material impact on any future Tax position with respect to Linn without Linn’s
express consent.

Contest or any other matter reasonably and in good faith related to the Tax affairs of the requesting Party. At any time after the Closing Date that Linn proposes to destroy such material or information, Linn shall first notify SpinCo in writing and
SpinCo shall be entitled to receive such materials or information proposed to be destroyed. At any time after the Closing Date that SpinCo proposes to destroy such material or information, SpinCo shall first notify Linn in writing and Linn shall be
entitled to receive such materials or information proposed to be destroyed. The Party requesting any records, documents, accounting data or other information pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall reimburse the Party to whom

 ARTICLE 2 

SERVICES 

Section 2.01    Provision of Services. Service Provider shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Service
Recipient, the applicable services (each, a “Service” and collectively, the “Services”) set out on schedules attached hereto (as may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time by mutual
agreement of the Parties or in accordance with Section 2.02, each, a “Service Schedule,” and collectively, the “Service Schedules”), in each case for the duration of the
applicable Service Period as set forth therein. Subject to Section 2.02, Service Provider shall not have any obligation hereunder to provide any services not set forth on the Service Schedule. The Services shall not in any
event include any services identified as “Excluded Services” on the Service Schedule (“Excluded Services”). For clarity, Service Provider may perform its obligations, and exercise its rights, under this Agreement
through any of its Affiliates. 
 Section 2.02    Additional Services. 

(a)    From time to time during the Term, Service Recipient may request that Service Provider provide additional services
(which may include Excluded Services) not included in the Services (such services, “Additional Services”). In the event that Service Recipient requests that Service Provider provide any Additional Services that (i) are
directly dependent upon or inextricably intertwined with the Services and (ii) were inadvertently and unintentionally omitted from the Services, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine the terms and conditions for the provision
of such Additional Services; provided, however, that Service Provider shall not be obligated to provide Additional Services if, notwithstanding such good faith negotiation, the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms and
conditions with respect to the provision of such Additional Services. For clarity, Service Provider shall not have any obligation to consider in good faith any request from Service Recipient for Additional Services unless such Services meet the
criteria in (i) and (ii) above. 

  
 3 

 (b)    In the event the Parties agree that Service Provider will
provide any Additional Service, such Additional Service shall automatically constitute a “Service” hereunder, and the Parties shall execute an amendment to the appropriate Service Schedule that shall set forth, among other things,
(i) the termination date for such Additional Service, (ii) a description of such Additional Service in reasonable detail, (iii) the fees and costs to Service Recipient for such Additional Service, and (iv) any additional terms
and conditions specific to such Additional Service. For clarity, Service Provider’s obligations with respect to providing any Additional Services shall become effective only upon an amendment to the applicable Service Schedule being duly
executed and delivered by Service Provider and Service Recipient. 
 Section 2.03    Standard of
Performance. 
 (a)    Service Provider shall perform, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any
Affiliate or relevant Third Party to perform, the Services (i) in a professional and workmanlike manner, and at a level of service (including with respect to care, skill, prudence, frequency and functionality), that is substantially similar in
scope, nature, quality and timeliness to the manner in which, and at the level of service with which, such Services were provided to Old Linn (where applicable) since August 31, 2017, subject to any different or additional service levels for a
Service specifically set forth on the applicable Service Schedule and (ii) in compliance with applicable Law. 

(b)    Service Recipient hereby acknowledges that Service Provider (i) may be providing similar services and/or
services that involve the same resources as those used to provide the Services hereunder to its internal organizations and businesses and to other Affiliates and to customers and other Third Parties, and that the provision of, and allocation of
resources to, any such similar services shall in no event be deemed to be a breach of Service Provider’s obligations hereunder, so long as Service Provider continues to provide the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and
(ii) is not in the business of providing the Services (or any services similar to the Services) and is providing the Services to Service Recipient solely for the purpose of facilitating the transactions contemplated by the SDA. 

Section 2.04    Subcontracting. Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that Service Provider may hire or
engage one or more of its Affiliates or unaffiliated Third Parties (each such Third Party, a “Subcontractor”) to provide any Service (including any part of any Service) under this Agreement; provided, that no such
arrangement shall relieve Service Provider of its obligations to provide the Services hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of its Subcontractors (including any Third Party
licensors, outsourcers or other vendors) in providing the Services on behalf of Service Provider, except to the extent such liability results from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Service Provider; provided, however, that
Service Provider shall take commercially reasonable efforts, and cooperate with Service Recipient to pass through the benefit of any indemnities, representations or warranties under Service Provider’s agreements with such Subcontractors, to

  
 4 

 
the extent permitted under the applicable agreement. Upon Service Recipient’s request, Service Provider shall, at its option, either (i) enforce its rights under such agreement(s), or
(ii) grant to Service Recipient rights of subrogation, to the extent permitted under the applicable agreement(s), so that Service Recipient may directly enforce the applicable agreement(s) against the applicable Subcontractor. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Service Provider shall not be responsible for any failure by any Subcontractor to provide any remedies to which either Party is entitled from the applicable Subcontractors. Service Recipient shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with seeking or enforcing any rights or remedies with respect to any Subcontractors hereunder (including, for clarity, any costs and expenses incurred by Service Provider in connection therewith). 

Section 2.05    Cooperation. 

(a)    Each Party has designated in writing to the other Party one (1) representative to act as a contact person with
respect to all issues relating to the provision of the Services pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Representative”), which initial Representatives are set forth on the applicable Service Schedule. The Representatives shall
hold review meetings by telephone or in person, as mutually agreed upon, to discuss issues relating to the provision of the Services under this Agreement (“Review Meetings”). In the Review Meetings, the Representatives shall
be responsible for discussing, and seeking to address and resolve, any problems identified relating to the provision (or lack thereof) of Services and, to the extent modifications to the provision of Services are agreed upon by the Parties,
facilitating the implementation of such modifications. If the Representatives are unable to resolve any such problems, the dispute resolution procedure set forth in the SDA shall apply. Each Party may change its Representative by providing written
notice to the other Party at least three (3) business days prior to such change taking effect, and provided that any replacement Representative be a managerial-level employee of such Party of like skill and qualification that is acceptable to
the other Party in its reasonable discretion. 
 (b)    Each Party shall, and shall cause their representative
Affiliates to, cooperate with each other Party in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder, including producing on a timely basis any Information that is reasonably requested by any other Party with respect to the performance of the
Services; provided, however, that such cooperation shall not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of a Party or any of its respective Affiliates. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with furnishing such
cooperation. 
 (c)    Service Recipient shall, during the applicable Service Period, timely provide to Service
Provider all Information, materials and other items, and otherwise cooperate, as reasonably requested by Service Provider in connection with the performance of the Services. In the event that Service Recipient fails to timely provide any such
Information, materials or other items, or otherwise fails to cooperate with Service Provider in connection with the provision of the Services, Service Provider shall be relieved of its obligation to provide any impacted Service hereunder, if and to
the extent the provision of such Service is dependent or otherwise reliant on such Information, materials or other items or such cooperation, but only for so long as the failure to provide such Information, materials and other items continues. For
clarity, Service Provider shall not be deemed to be in default under, or otherwise in breach of any provision of, this Agreement for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of its obligations under this

  
 5 

 
Agreement if such failure or delay results from Service Recipient’s failure to provide such Information, materials or other items to, or otherwise cooperate with, Service Provider in
connection with the provision of the Services hereunder. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with complying with its obligations to provide information, materials and other items, and otherwise cooperate, as
provided in this Section 2.05(c). 
 Section 2.06    Third Party Consents. 

(a)    The Parties shall reasonably cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Third-Party Consents,
licenses and other agreements, if any, necessary for the provision of the Services. 
 (b)    In the event that any
Consent, license or other agreement necessary for the provision of the Services cannot be obtained despite the Parties’ commercially reasonable efforts, or is revoked after the Effective Date, (i) Service Provider shall (A) promptly
notify Service Recipient, describing the nature of the potential exposure and any proposed modification in the Services, (B) cooperate and assist Service Recipient (or, as applicable, its Affiliates) in obtaining a reasonable alternative means
by which Service Recipient (or such Affiliate) may obtain the affected Services and (C) continue to provide the Services, to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances, and (ii) the Parties shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to reduce the amount and/or effect of disruption caused by any such failure to obtain such consent, license or other agreement. 

Section 2.07    Certain Limits on Services. 

(a)    Nothing in this Agreement shall require Service Provider (or any person acting on its behalf) to perform or cause
to be performed any Service in a manner that would constitute a violation of (i) applicable Law, (ii) any Contract or (iii) the rights of any Person. 

(b)    In the event that (i) there is nonperformance of any Service as a result of a Force Majeure or (ii) the
provision of a Service would violate (A) applicable Law, (B) any Contract or (C) the rights of any Person, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Service Provider may suspend performance of the Service(s) so affected during
such period (but, without limiting the foregoing, only if and to the extent such Service(s) so affected cannot reasonably be performed by Service Provider in another commercially reasonable manner) and agree to work together in good faith to arrange
for a reasonable alternative means by which Service Recipient (or, as applicable, its Affiliates) may obtain the Services so affected. Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts during any such period to mitigate its costs with
respect to any such affected Service. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining any alternative arrangement shall be split evenly between the Parties. 

Section 2.08    Transitional Nature of Services; Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, but without limiting Section 2.03, the Parties hereby acknowledge (i) the transitional nature of the Services and that the intent of the Parties is that Service Recipient shall seek to obtain each of the
Services internally or from Third Parties as soon as reasonably practical, and (ii) that Service Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if (A) Service Provider is making similar changes in
performing similar services for itself or its Affiliates, and (B) Service Provider furnishes to Service Recipient substantially the same notice (in content and timing) as Service Provider furnishes to its Affiliates with respect to such
changes. 

  
 6 

 Section 2.09    Limited Remedy. Unless otherwise provided on
a Service Schedule, in the event Service Provider materially fails to perform any Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then at Service Recipient’s request, Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-perform such Service (“Reperformance”) as soon as reasonably practicable, at no cost to Service Recipient. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, this
Section 2.09 sets forth Service Recipient’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Service Provider’s sole and exclusive liability and obligation, with respect to the performance (or nonperformance) of the Services
hereunder, except (i) to the extent any such failure to perform results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Service Provider or any Related Parties (in which case, for clarity, any such liability shall be subject to the liability
cap set forth in Section 8.03) and (ii) for such specific performance or other equitable remedy that may be awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

ARTICLE 3 
 PAYMENT;
BILLING 
 Section 3.01    Charges for the Services. Service Provider shall reimburse Service
Recipient for, or pay on Service Recipient’s behalf, all direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred by Service Recipient during the term of this Agreement in connection with (i) the fees set out on the applicable Service Schedule
(each, a “Service Fee”) for Services provided by Service Provider hereunder and (ii) all costs and expenses paid or payable to Third Parties in connection with the Services, which shall be passed-through to Service
Recipient consistent with past practice or as otherwise set forth on the Service Schedules (“Third-Party Costs”, and together with the Service Fees, the “Charges”). 

Section 3.02    Invoices. Charges for the Services and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be invoiced
by Service Provider to Service Recipient on a monthly basis and shall be payable to Service Provider by Service Recipient. Each invoice shall set forth reasonable details for any amounts payable under this Agreement, and Service Provider agrees to
provide to Service Recipient a copy of any supporting documentation reasonably requested by Service Recipient with respect to any such invoice. 

Section 3.03    Payments. Service Recipient shall pay to Service Provider all undisputed amounts documented in
each invoice in U.S. Dollars within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from Service Provider in accordance with Section 3.02, to the bank account set out in the applicable invoice, or such other method agreed
upon by the Parties. All payments shall be made in full without any withholding, deduction or setoff except as may be required by applicable Law. If Service Recipient is required to deduct or withhold any amount under applicable Law, it shall
be obliged to pay to Service Provider such sum as will, after such deduction or withholding has been made, leave Service Provider with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a
deduction or withholding. The Parties will use reasonable efforts to provide each other with any and all documentation required by any Taxing authority to reduce or eliminate any Taxes or withholding. 

  
 7 

 Section 3.04    Late Payments; Invoice Disputes. 

(a)    If Service Recipient fails to pay any undisputed amount due to Service Provider hereunder by the due date for
payment, Service Recipient shall pay interest on any outstanding amounts at the rate equal to the then applicable Prime Rate plus four percent (4%) (or the maximum rate under applicable Law, whichever is lower), from the due date for such payment
until such payment is made in full. 
 (b)    Service Recipient may withhold payments for amounts disputed in good
faith pending resolution of such disputes in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in the SDA; provided that if Service Recipient disputes any amount of an invoice, Service Recipient shall notify Service Provider in
writing promptly following Service Recipient’s receipt of such invoice and shall describe in reasonable detail the reason for disputing such amount. Upon resolution of such dispute, to the extent Service Recipient owes Service Provider some or
all of the amount withheld, such amount shall bear interest in accordance with this Section 3.04 and Service Recipient shall promptly pay such applicable amount, together with the interest accrued, to Service Provider (or
its specified Affiliate or designee). 
 Section 3.05    Taxes. Service Recipient shall pay all sales,
service, valued added, use, excise, occupation, and other similar taxes and duties (in each case, together with all interest, penalties, fines and additions thereto) that are assessed against either Party on the provision of Services (either as a
whole or against any particular Service) received by Service Recipient from Service Provider pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including with respect to amounts paid by Service Provider to Third Parties) (collectively, “Service
Taxes”); provided that the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such Service Taxes. If required under applicable Law (or, in the case of Service Taxes relating to amounts paid by Service Provider to
Third Parties), Service Provider shall invoice Service Recipient for the full amount of all Service Taxes, and Service Recipient shall pay, in addition to the other amounts required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Service
Taxes to Service Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Tax Matters Agreement shall control with respect to any claim relating to Taxes or Tax Returns.

 ARTICLE 4 

BOOKS AND RECORDS 

Section 4.01    Maintenance of Books and Records; Inspection Rights. For so long as Service Provider is
providing any Services under this Agreement, and for seven (7) years thereafter (or such longer period as may be required under applicable Law or by either Party’s document retention policies of which such Party is aware), Service Provider
shall keep and maintain books, records, data, reports and all other information related to the provision of the Services, including all information related to the payment obligations hereunder, including any costs and expenses incurred in the
provision of the Services, and which books, records, data, reports and other information shall be sufficient to enable Service Recipient to verify and substantiate Service Provider’s invoicing of Charges therefor. Service Provider shall make
such books, records, data, reports and other information reasonably available to any officer of, or other authorized Person designated by, Service Recipient for inspection and audit at the principal office of Service Provider, at reasonable times
and on reasonable advance written request therefor, subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth herein. 
 ARTICLE 5 

CONFIDENTIALITY 

Section 5.01    Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Any Confidential Information of the Parties
shall be subject to Section 7.8 of the SDA. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Agreement, or at any other time upon the written request of Disclosing Party, Receiving Party shall promptly return or, at Receiving Party’s
option, destroy, all Confidential Information of Disclosing Party in Receiving Party’s possession or control, together with all copies, summaries and analyses thereof, regardless of the format in which such Confidential Information exists or is
stored. In the case of destruction, upon Disclosing Party’s written request, Receiving Party shall promptly send a written certification that destruction has been accomplished to Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
Receiving Party is entitled to retain one copy of such Confidential Information for the sole purpose of complying with its obligations under applicable Law or this Agreement. With regard to Confidential Information stored electronically on backup
tapes, servers or other electronic media, except to the extent required by applicable Law, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to destroy such Confidential Information without undue expense or business interruption;
provided however that Confidential Information so stored is subject to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use contained in this Agreement for as long as it is stored.

of Service Recipient and/or any of its Affiliates related to this Agreement or the performance or non-performance of the Services (including any performance or
non-performance by any Third Party engaged by Service Provider and/or any of its Affiliates solely to the extent the losses from performance or non-performance arise

harmless Service Recipient from and against any losses suffered or incurred by Service Recipient arising out of or relating to any breach of applicable Law or the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Service Recipient related to this Agreement
or the performance or non-performance of the Services (including any performance or non-performance by any Third Party engaged by Service Provider solely to the extent
the losses from performance or non-performance arise from any willful misconduct or gross negligence by Service Provider and/or any of its Affiliates under such Third Party agreement or arrangement). 

ARTICLE 7 
 TERM AND
TERMINATION 
 Section 7.01    Initial Term. The term of this Agreement (the
“Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 2.08 or Section 7.03, shall terminate with respect to (i) each
Service, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Service Period for such Service (which shall include, for clarity, any extension to such Service Period made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and (ii) this Agreement,
upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Service Periods for all Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Service Schedule, this Agreement, including all of the Services provided hereunder, shall terminate

such Service, and (ii) thereafter, for up to an additional two (2) months, on the same terms and conditions as previously provided, except the Service Fees for such Service provided during such extension period shall be increased by
twenty-five percent (25%). Following the extensions in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence, any extension to the Service Period for any Service shall be at Service Provider’s sole discretion. All fees payable pursuant to this

(a)    Termination for Cause. 

(i)    If a Party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after
receipt of written notice of such breach from the other Party, such other Party may terminate any Service or group of Services impacted by such breach, upon written notice to the other Party. 

(ii)    Either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to the other Party if the other

(b)    Termination for Convenience. Unless otherwise provided on a Service Schedule, any Service or group of
Services may be terminated by Service Recipient for convenience upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Service Provider.

Provider shall cooperate, and shall cause its Affiliates and any other Person working on its behalf, to cooperate, to support the transfer to Service Recipient (or its designee) of any data owned by Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates that

hereunder shall not: (i) relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination; (ii) preclude either Party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder or
at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement prior to the effective date of such termination; or (iii) prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation that accrued hereunder prior to the effective
date of such termination or that, by the terms of this Agreement, survives such termination. 
 (b)    Survival.
