required to be filed on or before the Distribution Date or (y) includes any member of the Bentley
Group and that is required to be filed after the Distribution Date (each, a “Bentley Filed Tax

sufficiently in advance of the due date for the filing thereof, and CPEX shall have a reasonable
opportunity to review and comment on, any such Bentley Filed Tax Return (or the relevant portion
thereof) to the extent that CPEX is responsible for any portion of the Taxes reported on such

member of the CPEX Group or the CPEX Business only for the portion of the relevant taxable period
that ends on the Distribution Date, Taxes shall be allocated to the portion of such taxable period
that ends on the Distribution Date based on an actual or hypothetical closing of the books at the
close of the Distribution Date. Each member of the CPEX Group hereby irrevocably authorizes and

all actions necessary or incidental to the filing of any such Bentley Filed Tax Returns and, except
as otherwise provided herein, for the purpose of making payments to, or collecting refunds from,
any Governmental Authority in respect of a Bentley Filed Tax Return. Except as otherwise provided
herein, Bentley shall have the exclusive right to file, prosecute, compromise or settle any claim
for, or refund of, Taxes in respect of a Bentley Filed Tax Return for which Bentley bears

Bentley Group.

thereof) to the extent that Bentley is responsible for any portion of the Taxes reported on such
CPEX Filed Tax Return, and (3) in the case of any CPEX Filed Tax Return that includes any member of
the CPEX Group or the CPEX Business only for the portion of the relevant taxable period that begins
after the Distribution Date, Taxes shall be allocated to the portion of such taxable period that
begins after the Distribution Date based on an actual or hypothetical closing of the books at the
close of the Distribution Date.

     2.02 OBLIGATION TO REMIT TAXES. Subject to Section 2.01 and subject always to the ultimate
division of responsibility for Taxes set out in Section 2.03, Bentley and CPEX shall each remit or
cause to be remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority in a timely manner any Taxes due in
respect of any Tax Return that such Party is required to file (or, in the case of a Tax for which
no Tax Return is required to be filed, which is otherwise payable by such Party or a member of such
Party’s Group to any Governmental Authority); provided, however, that in the case of any Tax
Return, 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

6

 

two (2) Business Days before payment of the relevant amount is due to a Governmental
Authority.

     2.03 TAX SHARING OBLIGATIONS AND PRIOR AGREEMENTS.

          (a) CPEX and the members of the CPEX Group shall be responsible for the payment of (and shall
be entitled to any refund of or credit for) all Taxes (i) that are attributable to any member of
the CPEX Group or the CPEX Business for any taxable period, in accordance with the principles set
forth in Section 2.01(a)(4), provided, however, that (x) the determination of any such Taxes for
any Pre-Distribution Period shall be made treating the CPEX Group or the CPEX Business, as
applicable, as a stand-alone corporation, using methods and conventions consistent with past
practices, (y) such Taxes shall not include any Taxes incurred by any member of any Group in
connection with either the Contribution or the Distribution, and (z) such Taxes shall be net of any
Tax attributes attributable to the CPEX Group, the CPEX Business or the Bentley Group that are
available as of the close of the Merger Date (taking into account any Tax liability incurred by any
member of the Bentley Group in connection with either the Contribution or the Distribution) to
reduce (whether or not they actually reduce as of such date) the Tax Liability of any member of any
Group for any Pre-Distribution Period or any member of the Bentley Group for any Post-Distribution
Period, or (ii) resulting from any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation, covenant or
obligation of any member of the CPEX Group under this Agreement (collectively, “CPEX
Taxes”).

          (b) Bentley and the members of the Bentley Group shall be responsible for the payment of (and
shall be entitled to any refund of or credit for) all Taxes (i) that are attributable to any member
of the Bentley Group, other than CPEX Taxes, or (ii) resulting from any breach of or inaccuracy in
any representation, covenant or obligation of any member of the Bentley Group under this Agreement
(collectively, “Bentley Taxes”).

          (c) If, prior to the Distribution, a deposit (including a payment of estimated Taxes) were
made with respect to any Tax for which CPEX or the members of the CPEX Group are responsible under
this Agreement, such deposit shall be assigned to CPEX and CPEX shall be liable only for the amount
of such Tax ultimately due in excess of the applicable deposit. To the extent the amount of such
deposit exceeds the amount of Tax attributable to such deposit that is ultimately due, Bentley
shall pay such excess over to CPEX within five days after the filing of the applicable Bentley
Filed Tax Return.

          (d) Refunds received and the amount of credits claimed by one Party with respect to Taxes for
which the other Party or the members of such other Party’s Group are responsible under this
Agreement, shall be remitted to such other Party within five days after the first Party receives
such refund or files the Tax Return claiming such refund or credit, as applicable. In the event
that any such credit is subsequently reduced as a result of any adjustment required by any
Governmental Authority, such other Party shall pay the amount of

7

 

such reduction to the first Party within five days of receiving notice of such reduction from
the first Party.

          (e) At CPEX’s request, the Bentley Group shall, at CPEX’s expense, use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain any refund or credit of a Tax or item included in a Bentley Filed Tax Return to
which any member of the CPEX Group is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, including through filing
appropriate forms with the applicable Governmental Authority; provided that the Bentley Group shall
not be required to comply with such request if Bentley reasonably determines that attempting to
obtain such refund or credit will have a material adverse impact on any member of the Bentley
Group.

          (f) Except as set forth in this Agreement, any and all prior Tax sharing or allocation
agreements or practices between any member of the Bentley Group and any member of the CPEX Group
shall be terminated with respect to the CPEX Group as of the Distribution Date, and no member of
the CPEX Group shall have any continuing rights or obligations thereunder.

Return that includes any member of the Bentley Group.

amended Tax Return that that may increase any CPEX Tax or otherwise give rise to indemnification
pursuant to Section 4.01(b).

Term.

     (b) Bentley hereby retains CPEX to provide, and CPEX hereby agrees to provide, the CPEX

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the Bentley Services shall
be available to CPEX or any of its Subsidiaries only for the purposes of conducting the CPEX
Business substantially in the same manner and places as it was conducted immediately prior to the
Distribution Date; and (ii) the CPEX Services shall be available to Bentley or any of its
Subsidiaries only for the purposes of conducting the Bentley Business substantially in the same
manner and places as it was conducted immediately prior to the Distribution Date.

     2.2 Provision of Services. The Bentley Services may be directly provided by Bentley
or may be provided through any of its Affiliates or subcontractors, and the CPEX Services may be
directly provided by CPEX or may be provided through any of its Affiliates or subcontractors;
provided, however, that the applicable Service Provider shall remain responsible,
in accordance with this Services Agreement, for performance of any Service it causes to be so
provided.

     2.3 No Assumption or Modification of Obligations. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
(i) constitute the assumption by Service Provider or any of its Affiliates, or the agreement to
assume, any duties, obligations or liabilities of Service Recipient or its Affiliates whatsoever;
or (ii) alter, amend or otherwise modify any obligation of Bentley or CPEX under the Separation
Agreement.

     2.4 Application of Resources. Unless otherwise expressly required under the terms of
any relevant Schedule or the Separation Agreement, or otherwise agreed to by the Parties in
writing, in providing the Services, Service Provider or its Affiliates shall not be obligated to:
(i) expend funds and other resources beyond levels that would be customary and reasonable for any
other nationally recognized service provider to perform services that are similar to the relevant
Services; (ii) maintain the employment of any specific employee or subcontractor; (iii) purchase,
lease or license any additional (measured as of the date hereof) equipment or materials (expressly
excluding any renewal or extension of any leases or licenses required for Service Provider to

5

 

perform the relevant Services during the relevant Services Term); (iv) pay any of Service
Recipient’s costs related to its or any of its Affiliates’ receipt of the Services; (v) lend any
funds to a Service Recipient or its Affiliates; or (vi) make any payments or disbursements on
behalf of Service Recipient, except to the extent Service Recipient has previously delivered to
Service Provider sufficient funds to make any such payment or disbursement.

     2.5 Performance of Services. Subject to the other terms (i) in this Agreement setting
forth and circumscribing Service Provider’s performance obligations hereunder (including in
Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 and 6), and (ii) in the relevant Schedules, each Service
Provider shall perform, or cause the applicable members of its Group to perform, the Services
required to be provided by it hereunder in a manner specifically described in the relevant
Schedules, or, to the extent not so described in such Schedules, in a manner that is substantially
the same in nature, accuracy, quality, completeness, timeliness, responsiveness and efficiency with
how such relevant Services have been rendered to the CPEX Business by Bentley (or any of its
Subsidiaries) prior to the Distribution Date, or to the Bentley Business by CPEX (or any of its
Subsidiaries) prior to the Distribution Date, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
it shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement if the Service Provider fails to meet the
standards required under this Section 2.5 because of the failure of the Service Recipient to
cooperate with or provide information or services to the Service Provider as required under this
Agreement.

     2.6 Transitional Nature of Services; Changes. The Parties acknowledge the
transitional nature of the Services and agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,

its Subsidiaries; provided that Service Provider must provide Service Recipient
with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such changes.

     2.7 Omitted Services; Additional Services; Extension of Services Terms.

     (a) Omitted Services. Within forty-five (45) days of the Distribution Date, if a
Party identifies a service that the other Party (or a member of such other Party’s Group)
previously provided to such first Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) prior to the Distribution
Date, but such service was inadvertently omitted from inclusion in the Services to be received by
such first Party under this Agreement (an “Omitted Service”), then, upon the prior written
consent of the Party that would be Service Provider of such Omitted Service (which consent shall
not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), such Omitted Service shall be added and
considered as part of the Services to be provided by such Service Provider. The Parties shall
cooperate and act in good faith to reach agreement on the fees and other specific terms and
conditions applicable to such Omitted Service, provided that if such Omitted
Service is substantially similar to any other Service provided by Services Provider under this
Agreement, such fees and other specific terms and conditions shall be substantially similar to the
fees and other specific terms and conditions applicable to such other Services. Upon the Parties’
agreement on the fees and other specific terms and conditions applicable to an Omitted Service, the
Parties shall execute an amendment to this Agreement that provides for the substitution of the
relevant Schedule, or additions of supplements to the relevant Schedule, in order to describe such

6

 

Omitted Service and the agreement upon the related fees and other specific terms and
conditions applicable thereto.

     (b) Additional Services; Extension of Services Terms. In the event that the Parties
identify and agree upon (i) an additional service to be provided under this Agreement (other than
an Omitted Service), as well as the related fees and other specific terms and conditions applicable
thereto (an “Additional Service”), or (ii) an extension of any particular Service Term for
any Services Group, as well as the related fees and other specific terms and conditions applicable
thereto, the Parties shall execute an amendment to this Agreement that provides for the
substitution of the relevant Schedule, or additions of supplements to the relevant Schedule, in
order to describe such Additional Service or extension, and the agreed upon related fees and other
specific terms and conditions applicable thereto. It is understood that the Service Provider has
no obligation to provide Additional Services and may reject any request by any Service Recipient
for Additional Services for any reason or for no reason.

     2.8 Impracticability. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, Service Provider
shall not be required to provide any Service to the extent: (A) that the performance of the
Services would (i) require Service Provider or any of its Affiliates to violate any applicable Laws
(including any applicable codes or standards of conduct established any Governmental Entity with
respect to their activities subject to the jurisdiction of such Governmental Entity) or any
internal policy reasonably adopted in order to comply with any applicable Laws; (ii) result in the
breach of any software license, lease, or other Contract; or (iii) require prior approval of a
Governmental Entity (except to the extent such approval has already been obtained); or (B) provided
under Section 15.20.

     2.9 Project Managers. Bentley shall designate to CPEX at least one individual to whom
all of CPEX’s communications may be addressed with respect to the Bentley Services and who has
authority to act for and bind Bentley in all aspects with respect to the Bentley Services (the
“Bentley Project Manager”). CPEX shall designate to Bentley at least one individual to
whom all of Bentley’s communications may be addressed with respect to the CPEX Services and who has
authority to act for and bind CPEX in all aspects with respect to the CPEX Services (the “CPEX
Project Manager”). The initial Bentley Project Manager designated by Bentley shall be
Richard Lindsay and the initial CPEX Project Manager designated by CPEX shall be Robert
Hebert.

     2.10 Cooperation. In the event that there is nonperformance of any Service as a
result of (i) a Force Majeure event described in Section 15.19, or (ii) impracticability pursuant
to Section 2.8, the Parties agree to work together in good faith to arrange for an alternative
means by which the applicable Service Recipient may obtain, at its sole cost and expense, the
Service so affected. The Parties and the members of their respective Groups shall cooperate with
each other in connection with the performance of the Services, including producing on a timely
basis all Contracts, documents and other information that is reasonably requested with respect to
the performance of Services; provided, however, that such cooperation shall not
unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Parties and the members of their respective
Groups; and provided, further, however the Party requesting cooperation
shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Party or any members of
its Group furnishing such

7

 

requested cooperation, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Separation
Agreement.

3. Pricing.

     3.1 Fees. In consideration of Services performed pursuant to this Agreement, the
Parties shall pay the applicable fees (individually a “Fee” and collectively the “Fees”) as
follows:

               (a) by
Bentley to CPEX, a non-refundable fee, in the amount of $78,165
(seventy eight thousand, one hundred and sixty five dollars) to be paid on or prior
to the Distribution Date, which amount shall be included in “cash and cash equivalents included in
clause (ii)(a) of the definition of “CPEX Assets”; and

               (b) by CPEX to Bentley, the fee as specified in Schedule A, based upon the costs of the
Bentley Services as consistent with the cost allocation methods used by Bentley immediately prior
to the Distribution Date, which shall include a fair and reasonable allocation for the employees,
facilities and other overhead.

In the event that the Service is terminated, the Fees payable will be apportioned based on the
number of unpaid days as of the date that such Service is terminated.

     3.2 Payment Procedures. If Fees are payable pursuant to Section 3.1 (b):

               (a) Service Provider shall invoice Service Recipient on a monthly basis for all Fees accrued
with respect to the prior month. Fees shall be payable by Service Recipient within thirty (30)
days after Service Recipient’s receipt of an invoice (the “Due Date”). All amounts (i) payable
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be paid to Service Provider as directed by Service
Provider, and (ii) due and payable hereunder shall be invoiced and paid in U.S. dollars, except as
may be expressly provided in any relevant Schedule. A Service Recipient’s obligation to make any
required payments under this Agreement shall not be subject to any unilateral right of offset,
set-off, deduction or counterclaim, however arising. If any payment is not paid when due, the
Service Provider shall have the right, without any liability to the Service Recipient, or anyone
claiming by or through the Service Recipient, upon thirty (30) days’ notice, to cease providing
such Services for which payment was not received, which right may be exercised by the Service
Provider in its sole and absolute discretion.

               (b) Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2, amounts not paid on or before
the Due Date shall be payable with interest, accrued at LIBOR plus 50 basis points (the
“Default Interest Rate”) (or the maximum legal rate whichever is lower), calculated for the
actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the Due Date until the date of the actual receipt of
payment.

               (c) Disputes. In the event that Service Recipient disputes the accuracy of any invoice
or portion thereof, Service Recipient shall provide Service Provider on or prior to the Due Date
written notice of the disputed amounts, together with a statement of the particulars of the
dispute, including the calculations with respect to any errors or inaccuracies claimed. Should
Service Recipient fail to provide evidence of the invoice errors claimed on or before the Due Date,
the disputed amounts shall be owed with interest at the Default Interest Rate from the Due Date
until payment is received. Should Service Recipient provide the required information

8

 

on or before the Due Date, Service Provider shall make a determination on the dispute no later
than thirty (30) days from the Due Date. If Service Recipient has (i) underpaid the amount
actually due, Service Recipient shall remit to the Service Provider, within five (5) Business Days
after receipt of the determination from Service Provider, any amount due plus interest at the
Default Interest Rate from the Due Date until paid, or (ii) overpaid the amount actually due,
Service Provider shall remit to Service Recipient, within five (5) Business Days after
determination of such overpayment, any refund plus interest at the Default Interest Rate on such
refund from the date Service Provider received the overpayment until refunded. Notwithstanding any
disputed invoice or portion thereof, Service Recipient shall nevertheless pay when due any
undisputed amount of such invoice to Service Provider.

     3.3 Taxes. If any Governmental Entity shall impose a tax on the Services rendered to
a Service Recipient or its Subsidiaries by Service Provider hereunder, Service Recipient agrees to
pay, or remit to Service Provider so that Service Provider may pay, the amount of such tax imposed
now or in the future on the Services rendered to Service Recipient or its Subsidiaries by Service
Provider under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Service Recipient shall have no liability for, and shall not be obligated to pay for,
any property taxes of any kind or type applicable to the property of Service Provider or any of its
Subsidiaries or any income taxes of any kind or type applicable to the income of Service Provider
or any of its subsidiaries, except as may be expressly provided in any relevant Schedule.

     3.4 Expenses. In addition to the payment of all Fees, at the end of each month during
the Services Term, Service Recipient shall reimburse Service Provider for all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Service Provider or its Affiliates in connection with
providing the Services (including all travel-related expenses) to the extent that such costs and
expenses are not reflected in the Fees for such Services. Any travel-related expenses incurred in
performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to Service Recipient in accordance with
Service Provider’s then applicable business travel policies.

4. Services Term; Termination.

     4.1 Services Term. The performance of the Services shall commence on the Distribution
Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3, shall terminate on the earlier

expiration of the relevant Services Term, including without limitation, internal demobilization or
incremental, unplanned severance costs, and early termination fees and other costs incurred in

respect any term, obligation, or condition of this Agreement and the defaulting Party does not cure
such failure within thirty (30) days after written demand by the first Party, provided
that if the defaulting Party begins promptly and diligently to cure such breach in
accordance with this provision and such breach is not capable of being cured within such 30-day
period, the defaulting Party shall have up to an additional thirty (30) days to cure such breach if
it demonstrates that it is reasonably capable of curing such breach within such additional thirty
(30) day period;

     (e) with respect to the entire Agreement, by either Party if the other Party makes a general

a Force Majeure, by either Party if Service Provider fails to perform in any material respect its
obligation to perform any Services within such Services Group as a result of circumstances of Force
Majeure and such Force Majeure continue to exist for at least sixty (60) consecutive days.

     4.3 Rights and Obligations Upon Termination. Upon expiration of the Services Term or

accrued thereunder through the date of such expiration or termination), 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14
and 15 (as well as in each case associated defined terms) shall survive any such expiration or

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or as otherwise agreed by the Parties to be implemented by the Parties
to comply with internal controls and procedures or applicable Law. In the event a Service
Recipient requires a change to the internal controls or procedures, or requires the implementation
of additional internal controls or procedures, related to the Services required to be provided to
such Service Recipient in order for such Service Recipient to comply with changes to applicable
Law, Service Provider shall change or add to such Service Provider’s internal controls or

internal controls or procedures as required by the foregoing, Service Recipient shall pay for any
