ARTICLE 2.  SERVICES PROVIDED

2.01   TRANSITIONAL SERVICES  

	Services Provided.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Pioneer will provide (either itself or through its Affiliates or
third party agents or contractors) to S&W, those services covered by and described in more detail in each individual Service Level Agreement ("SLA") listed
and attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (Transitional Services), which is made part of this Agreement, or which may be entered into by the Parties from time to time
after the Effective Time (each a "Service" and, collectively, the "Services").  In no event shall S&W be entitled to any new service
without the prior written consent of Pioneer, which consent may be withheld by Pioneer for any or no reason in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event that Pioneer consents to provide a
new service, the Parties will agree upon a new SLA which will include the Service Term, Service Fees and other information regarding the nature and scope of such new service as agreed-
upon by the Parties, and shall thereafter be deemed a "Service" in accordance with Section 2.01 of this Agreement.  

	Standard of Care. Subject to the provisions of Article 12 (Force Majeure), Pioneer shall perform the Services exercising substantially the same
degree of care it exercises in performing the same or similar services for its own account.  Nothing in this Agreement shall require Pioneer to favor the business of S&W over Pioneer's
own businesses or those of any of its Affiliates, including any of its subsidiaries or divisions.  Nothing in this

                                                                5

Agreement shall impose a standard of care equal to or higher than that which may
be applicable to commercial providers of a similar service. 

	Service Levels.  Subject to the SLAs, Section 2.01(e) (Changes) and Section  2.01(f) (Modifications or Upgrades), S&W's level of
use of any Service shall not be higher than or expanded from the level of use reasonably required to support the Purchased Assets as of the Effective Time.  Such limitation of use shall take
into account the monthly and seasonal changes in the level of use of a Service during the eighteen (18) month period immediately preceding the Effective Time.  Pioneer shall not be
obligated to provide S&W with special studies, training, or the like, or the advantage of systems, equipment, facilities, training or improvements procured, obtained or made after the
Effective Time.  In no event shall S&W be entitled to any increase or decrease in the level of its use of any of the Services without the prior written consent of Pioneer, which consent
may be withheld by Pioneer for any or no reason in its sole and absolute discretion.  In the event that Pioneer consents to any reduction or decrease in service level, S&W shall not be
entitled to any reduction, decrease or discount of the Service Fees absent Pioneer's express written consent.

	Specification.  Subject to Section 2.01(c) (Service Levels) and Section  2.01(e) (Changes), Pioneer shall provide each Service
indicated in each SLA to S&W according to the Specifications set forth in the SLA, subject to the limitations set forth in such SLA (including such limitations relating to scope, scale and
description).  S&W shall not be entitled to receive any Service different from those set forth in the respective SLAs.

	Changes.  S&W shall not be entitled to any change to the nature, the manner of performing, or level of a Service or any additional service (each
such change, a "Change") without the prior written consent of Pioneer, which consent may be withheld by Pioneer for any or no reason in its sole and absolute
discretion.  In the event S&W desires a Change, S&W will deliver a written description of the proposed Change (a "Change Request") to the Pioneer's
Primary Coordinator.  The timing for Pioneer's approval or rejection of such Change Requests shall be determined in Pioneer's sole and absolute discretion.  If a Change Request is
approved, S&W shall be responsible for all costs and Expenses associated with such approved Change.  

	Modifications or Upgrades.  Pioneer reserves the right to modify or upgrade the nature, the manner of performing, or level of a Service as changes are
made to Pioneer's own businesses or are otherwise made with respect to Pioneer's agreements with third parties or contractors.  Pioneer agrees to provide notification to S&W of such
changes within a commercially reasonable time, provided that such notification shall not be provided any earlier than similar notification is presented to Pioneer's own businesses.  To the
extent that such changes affect a Service: (1) Pioneer shall have no obligation to continue to supply such Service using its former technology or to maintain any legacy system as an
accommodation to S&W, and (2) S&W shall have no obligation to continue to receive such Service upon the implementation of such changes, provided that S&W notifies
Pioneer in writing of its election to discontinue such Service within ten (10) days of Pioneer's notification of such changes.  To the extent S&W wishes to continue to receive such Service,
S&W shall be obligated, at S&W's sole expense and without any assistance from Pioneer relating thereto, to conform its systems as necessary to Pioneer's changes;
provided that Pioneer shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion whether S&W has completed the necessary changes to conform S&W's systems.  

                                                                6

	 S&W's Use of Services.  Subject to Section 13.01 (Assignments; Successors and No Third Party Rights) and the SLAs, S&W is
eligible to receive the Services under this Agreement, solely to the extent relating exclusively to the Purchased Assets.  To the extent that Pioneer consents to provide any Service to an
Affiliate of S&W, such Services shall be provided on terms acceptable to the Parties and according to the Cost Principles.  S&W shall cause such Affiliate to comply with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, including any additional terms agreed to by the Parties, as if such Affiliate were a named party under this Agreement. If Pioneer determines in its reasonable
discretion that such Affiliate has failed to diligently perform such obligations, S&W shall perform such obligations on such Affiliate's behalf.  

2.02   PERSONNEL, RESOURCES AND THIRD PARTIES

	Personnel and Third Parties.  In providing the Services, Pioneer, as it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion, may (1) use the personnel
and resources of Pioneer or its Affiliates, or (2) employ the services and resources of third parties. Pioneer reserves the right to provide any or all of the Services directly or, in Pioneer's sole
discretion, through any Affiliate, third party agents or contractors.  To the extent Services are provided by an Affiliate of Pioneer, the corresponding fees and costs may be invoiced by such
Affiliate directly to S&W and S&W shall pay such invoice directly to such Affiliate of Pioneer.  Pioneer shall be permitted to change third party agents or contractors used to provide
Services to S&W, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. 

	Transitional Services Employees.  S&W agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Pioneer by making available such former
employees of Pioneer, who become employed by S&W or its Affiliates, or other employees of S&W or its Affiliates performing similar functions as such former employees of Pioneer,
as Pioneer shall reasonably request in connection with the provision of the Services (the "Transitional Services Employees").  For such time as any Transitional
Services Employees are performing any functions relating to the Services, (i) such Transitional Services Employees shall remain employees of S&W or its Affiliate and shall not be
deemed to be employees of Pioneer or its Affiliates for any purpose, and (ii) S&W shall be solely responsible for the payment and provision of all wages, bonuses and commissions,
employee benefits (including severance and worker's compensation), social security contributions and the withholding and payment of applicable Taxes relating to such employment.

	New, Additional or Replacement Equipment.  Pioneer shall not be obligated to acquire, upgrade, or provide new or additional equipment to perform
Services for S&W under this Agreement. Subject to the SLAs, in addition to the Service Fees, S&W shall be responsible for all costs to repair or replace any equipment used to
provide Services during the Service Term, provided, however, that Pioneer will not charge S&W with respect to any equipment that is subject to a valid warranty and Pioneer is able to
repair or replace such equipment at no cost.

                                                                7

2.03.   TERM OF SERVICE

termination of this Agreement by either Party as provided herein ("Term of this Agreement").

	The term for each Service (the "Service Term") shall commence at the Effective Time and shall terminate upon the earlier of the: (1)
date or at the time specified in the SLA; (2) end of the time period during which Pioneer is authorized to provide the Service pursuant to its contracts with third parties or applicable Legal
Requirements, (3) termination by either Party as provided herein, or (4) Term of this Agreement.  In no event shall S&W be entitled to extend the Service Term of any Service without the
prior written consent of Pioneer, which consent may be withheld by Pioneer for any or no reason in its sole and absolute discretion.

2.04.   MIGRATION FROM SERVICES

	Migration Plan.  Each Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Agreement is to provide the Services on a transitional basis, until S&W can
perform the Services for itself, either through its own personnel or through third parties.  Accordingly, at all times from and after the Effective Time, S&W shall use best efforts to make or
obtain approvals, permits or licenses, implement any necessary systems, and take, or cause to be taken, any and all other actions necessary or advisable so as to render receipt of the
Services from Pioneer no longer necessary.  S&W agrees that within ninety (90) days of the Effective Time; it shall provide to Pioneer a written migration plan (a "Migration
Plan") to wind down S&W's receipt of the Services and develop its internal service capabilities or employ third party providers so as to render receipt of the Services from
Pioneer no longer necessary.  The Migration Plan shall include, among other things, the following with respect to the Services: (1) phases of implementation, (2) milestones, (3) expected
Pioneer involvement, (4) service interdependency issues, (5) requested formats for S&W's transactional data to be transferred by Pioneer, and (6) contingencies.  The costs and fees of
Pioneer to facilitate S&W's migration are not included in the Service Fees, and S&W shall be responsible for all additional costs of both Pioneer and S&W associated with the
Migration Plan, and shall reimburse Pioneer therefor in accordance with Sections 4.03 and 4.05.  The respective Primary Coordinators and appropriate functional resources
shall meet to discuss implementation of the Migration Plan and expected Pioneer involvement.  

	Pioneer's Transition and Migration Obligations.  Subject to the exclusions in Section 2.04(c) and unless otherwise agreed in writing between the
Parties or as specifically set forth in any SLA, Pioneer's duties related to migration by S&W from Services are limited to furnishing files of S&W
transactional data relating to the Services that have been retained by Pioneer in connection with the provision of Services, in accordance with Pioneer's records retention policies, and to the
extent then available, in the format and media in which Pioneer then maintains such data.     

	Pioneer's Excluded Transition and Migration Obligations.  In the absence of an agreement in writing between the
Parties (including provisions relating to further compensation therefor from S&W), Pioneer shall have no obligation to: (1) load data to S&W

                                                                8

2.05.   THIRD PARTY CONSENTS

	Obligation to Obtain Consents.  Pioneer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents from third party vendors that to Pioneer's
knowledge are required to provide the Services to S&W; provided, however, that S&W shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with securing such third
party consents in accordance with Section 4.01(b) (Consent Costs).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pioneer shall have no obligation to obtain the consent of any third party, or pay
any fee or expense relating thereto, in connection with S&W's Migration Plan or the migration of any Service.

	Non-Consenting Third Parties.   Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any SLA, Pioneer shall not be
required to provide a Service to the extent that Pioneer does not obtain the consent of a third party required to provide the Service, or where providing such Service would, in Pioneer's
reasonable judgment, violate the rights of any third party.  

2.06.   LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS

systems, of Pioneer, its Affiliates or its third party agents or contractors, except to the extent that Pioneer determines in its sole and absolute discretion that disclosure of such information is
necessary to provide the Services hereunder.

	Compliance with Legal Requirements.  Pioneer shall not be required to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent Pioneer
reasonably believes that performing such obligation would violate any Legal Requirements.  The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to implement changes and/or modifications to any
manner or method of Service, which in Pioneer's sole and absolute discretion, are reasonably necessary to ensure that such Service is performed in strict accordance with applicable Legal
Requirements.  S&W shall promptly implement any such changes and/or modifications at S&W's sole cost.

Person provide services the same as or similar to the Services provided under any SLA where such services would commence prior to termination of the applicable SLA or would otherwise
conflict with Pioneer's ability to provide a Service under any SLA.    

                                                                10

such restrictions.  Pioneer will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any interruption or

No later than the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of each calendar month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day following the
fifteenth (15th) calendar day of such

13.03 (Notices), provided that S&W may change the address for invoices upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. 

4.04.   REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES 

Pioneer shall, at its election, (i) make disbursements from its own funds for Expenses and then invoice said Expenses directly to S&W, which invoice shall be
payable on a net 30 basis from the date of invoice, or (ii) upon prior written notice to S&W, require S&W to advance Expenses prior to Pioneer's incurring the same.

4.05.   PAYMENT 

	Invoice Remittance.  Any invoice issued under Section 4.03 (Invoices), shall be payable by S&W on a net 30
basis from the date of invoice, without demand and without any deduction, set-off, withholding or abatement whatsoever (except as provided in Section 4.05(b) (Disputed Amounts)
herein), the full amount of Service Fees and Expenses due unless the amount due is disputed, in which event the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of Section

otherwise specified in the relevant SLA.  Payments due on any day other than a Business Day shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day.  If needed, the Parties will implement
arrangements to provide for electronic funds transfer on customary terms, with written confirmation, for such transfers.

	Disputed Amounts.  If S&W disputes in good faith the accuracy of any portion of an invoice, S&W shall pay all undisputed portions of
such invoices and shall deliver a written statement to Pioneer no later than the date payment is due on the disputed invoice, which statement shall include: (i) the specific amount of the
dispute, and (ii) a reasonably detailed written description which defines the scope of the dispute and any evidence which supports the validity of the amount disputed.  Invoice items not so
disputed shall be deemed accepted and shall be paid, notwithstanding disputes on other items in such invoice, within the period set forth in Section 4.05(a) (Invoice Remittance).
Pioneer shall, at its election, direct S&W to remit payment on: (i) the undisputed portion of an outstanding disputed invoice, or (ii) a newly issued invoice from Pioneer covering only the
undisputed portion of such disputed invoice.  The Parties shall seek to resolve all such invoice disputes expeditiously and in good faith.  Upon resolution of such invoice disputes, S&W
shall promptly pay the agreed-upon amount of the resolved dispute to Pioneer together with interest on a daily basis equal to: (i) one and one-half percent (1 1⁄2 %) per month of the
agreed-upon amount of the resolved dispute, or (ii) the maximum amount allowed by Legal Requirements, whichever is lower.   

	Late Payments.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4.05(b) (Disputed Amounts), all invoices paid after the applicable due date will be
assessed a late payment service charge on a daily basis equal to: (i) one and one-half percent (11⁄2%) per month

of the amount of such unpaid invoice, or (ii) the maximum amount allowed by Legal Requirements, whichever is lower.  

	Discontinuation of Service. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.05(b) (Disputed Amounts) hereof, if any amount due and payable to
Pioneer pursuant to this Section 4.05 is not paid by S&W within thirty (30) days after the invoice date, Pioneer may notify S&W in writing (including through email) of
S&W's payment default.  If S&W has not cured such payment default within thirty (30) days of Pioneer's notification of such payment default, Pioneer shall have the right, in its sole
and absolute discretion and without any resulting liability to S&W or to anyone claiming by or through the S&W because of such action to: (i) cease providing either all of the
Services, or any such Service(s) or Interdependent Services (as provided in Section 6.04) for which payment has not been made, or (ii) notwithstanding the provisions of Article
6 (Termination) hereof, terminate the relevant SLA, and such termination shall be without prejudice to any other remedy which may be available to Pioneer, or (iii) change payments
terms to payment in advance.  Pioneer's exercise of its rights under this Section 4.05(d) shall not limit or otherwise affect Pioneer's right to terminate this Agreement in accordance
with Article 6 (Termination).

4.06.   NO OFFSET 

Regardless of any other rights under any other agreements or Legal Requirements and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, S&W shall not
have the right to set off any Claim it may have or reduce its payment under this Agreement except as expressly provided in Section 4.05(b) (Disputed Amounts).

ARTICLE 5. CONFIDENTIALITY

5.01.   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

"Confidential Information" means all proprietary technical, economic, environmental, operational, financial and/or other business
information or material of one party which, following the Effective Time in the course of providing or receiving services hereunder, has been disclosed by Pioneer or its Affiliates, on the one
hand, or S&W or its Affiliates, on the other hand, in written, oral (including by recording), electronic, or visual form to, or otherwise has come into the possession of, the other, except to
the extent that such information can be shown to have (1) already known at the time of its receipt by the receiving party, as shown by its prior written records, (2) properly in the public domain
through no fault of the receiving party, (3) disclosed to the receiving party by a third party who may lawfully do so, or (4) independently developed by or for the receiving party without use of
the disclosing party's Confidential Information.

5.02.   OBLIGATIONS 

Until the later of (i) five (5) years following the Effective Time and (ii) five (5) years from the date that such information was disclosed hereunder, a Party shall not, and
shall cause its Affiliates not to, use in any manner, for its own account or for the account of others, or divulge to any third party any Confidential Information of the other Party; provided,
however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to disclosures made by a Party or its Affiliates necessary to comply with Legal Requirements or with respect to litigation or potential
litigation, the making of, or defense against, a claim for indemnification, or the performance under this Agreement.

                                                                16

5.03.   DISCLOSURE 

In the event that a Party or any of its Affiliates is requested or required (by oral demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Party subject to
such request (the "Disclosing Party") will notify the other Party (the "Non-Disclosing Party") promptly of the request or requirement so
that the Non-Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with this provision.  If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder,
the Disclosing Party, is, on the advice of internal or external legal counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or other official
penalties, the Disclosing Party may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that if so compelled, the Disclosing Party shall disclose only
such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed; provided, further, that the Disclosing Party shall use its best efforts to obtain, at the request of the Non-
Disclosing Party, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the Non-Disclosing Party
shall designate.

5.04.   RIGHTS LIMITED TO AGREEMENT 

Except for the right to use Confidential Information for the specific purposes of this Agreement, this Agreement conveys no rights (including with respect to use) in the
Confidential Information.  

5.05.   SEPARATE AGREEMENTS 

Confidentiality obligations provided for in any agreement between Pioneer or any of its Affiliates, or S&W or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any
employee of Pioneer or any of its Affiliates, or S&W or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall remain in full force and effect.  Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the
Parties to renegotiate terms of agreements in place with contractors, consultants, suppliers, vendors and customers as of the Effective Time. 

ARTICLE 6. TERMINATION

6.01.   DEFAULT 

Subject to Section 4.05(d) (Discontinuation of Service) and Article 12 (Force Majeure), if any Party (the "Defaulting
Party") shall fail to perform or default in any material respect in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any Exhibit or SLA hereto, Pioneer (in the case
of a failure or default by S&W) or S&W (in the case of a failure or default by Pioneer) (each, a "Non-Defaulting Party") may give written notice to the
Defaulting Party specifying the nature of such failure or default and stating that the Non-Defaulting Party intends to terminate this Agreement or any affected SLA if such failure or default is
not cured within thirty (30) days of such written notice.  If any failure or default so specified is not cured within such thirty (30) day period, the Non-Defaulting Party may elect immediately to
terminate this Agreement or any affected SLA.  If any failure or default is not capable of cure within the respective cure period, the Non-Defaulting Party may elect immediately to terminate
the affected SLA.  Any termination as provided herein shall be effective upon giving a written notice of termination from the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party following the respective cure

                                                                17

period (if applicable) and shall be without prejudice to any other remedy which may be available to the Non-Defaulting Party against the Defaulting Party.  

6.02.   INSOLVENCY EVENT

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Party (i) files for bankruptcy, (ii) becomes or is declared insolvent, or is
the subject of any Proceedings related to its liquidation, insolvency or the appointment of a receiver or similar officer, (iii) enters into any reorganization, composition or arrangement with its
creditors (other than relating to a solvent restructuring), (iv) makes an assignment for the benefit of all or substantially all of its creditors, or (v) takes any corporate action for any winding-up,
dissolution, liquidation or administration (other than for the purpose of or in connection with any solvent amalgamation or reconstruction), then Pioneer (in the case of S&W) or S&W
(in the case of Pioneer) may, without prejudice to its other rights hereunder, terminate this Agreement forthwith by written notice.  Without limiting the foregoing, Pioneer may, without
prejudice to its other rights hereunder, terminate this Agreement forthwith by written notice upon the occurrence of default or an event which, with the giving notice or passage of time, or both,
would result in an event of default with respect to any outstanding indebtedness of S&W or any of its Affiliates.

6.03.   VOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SLA

S&W may terminate any SLA by giving Pioneer advance written notice of its desire to terminate such SLA that satisfies the Required Notice Period set forth in
such SLA; provided that: (1) the termination of any SLA shall only be effective on the last day of a calendar month (unless otherwise set forth in any applicable Exhibit or SLA); and
(2) S&W shall pay to Pioneer all Residual Costs as set forth in Section 4.01(c) (Residual Costs).  If any SLA is terminated by S&W as described herein, S&W may not
reinstitute such SLA absent Pioneer's prior written agreement.  The notice of termination of an SLA by S&W shall be (i) sufficiently specific as to identify the particular SLA for which any
such termination shall apply, and (ii) irrevocable by S&W upon receipt by Pioneer.  For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, S&W
must terminate any SLA as a whole and is not entitled to partition or otherwise terminate in part any SLA that would result in lower scope constituent services with reduced service fees.

6.04.   INTERDEPENDENT SERVICES

If a Service is terminated for any reason, including pursuant to Article 5 (Termination), which Pioneer reasonably determines to
be interdependent with a different Service under this Agreement (each, an "Interdependent Service"), and such termination causes Pioneer's cost of providing an
Interdependent Service to increase, Pioneer is excused from providing such Interdependent Service unless S&W agrees to pay the revised fees and Expenses for such Interdependent
Service as established in accordance with the Cost Principles.  Within thirty (30) days following Pioneer's receipt of a notice of termination of a Service, Pioneer will advise S&W which
other Services, if any, are Interdependent Services and the revised fees and Expenses for continuation of such Interdependent Services.  S&W shall notify Pioneer within ten (10) days of
receipt of an Interdependent Services determination from Pioneer whether (i) S&W agrees to the revised fees and Expenses of any Interdependent Service(s), or (ii) such Interdependent
Service(s) should be terminated.  Unless S&W agrees to pay the revised fees and

                                                                18

Expenses under (i), Pioneer shall have no obligation to provide such Interdependent Service(s) as of
the date that the corresponding Service is terminated.  Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing to the contrary, S&W shall not be relieved from its obligation to comply with the
Required Notice Period set forth in any SLA for any Service or Interdependent Service.

6.05.   PUBLIC UTILITY STATUS

Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, should Pioneer be determined to be a public utility or should Pioneer determine in good faith based on the
advice of counsel that there is a material risk of it being deemed a public utility (each such event, a "Public Utility Event"), Pioneer may terminate the relevant
Services or parts thereof, upon written notice to S&W and Pioneer shall not be in breach hereunder as a result of such termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
Pioneer receives an order from any Governmental Body requiring Pioneer to cease providing a Service, Pioneer shall immediately notify S&W of such occurrence and may terminate
such Service consistent with the time period set forth in such order.

6.06.   EFFECT OF TERMINATION

S&W specifically agrees and acknowledges that all obligations of Pioneer to provide each respective Service shall immediately cease upon the expiration of the
Service Term for such Service. Pioneer shall have no obligation to recommence the provision of any Service to S&W once any Service is not renewed or terminated under this
Agreement.  Further, upon the cessation of Pioneer's obligation to provide any Service, S&W shall immediately cease using, directly or indirectly, such Service (including any and all
Pioneer software or third party software provided through Pioneer's computer systems or equipment).  In the event that any Service is continued beyond such
date, the Parties agree that S&W shall be responsible to Pioneer for such continued Services, including any third party costs incurred by Pioneer as a result of such continued use, but in
no event at an amount less than one and one half (1.5) times the Service Fees and Expenses relating to such Service.

6.07.   SURVIVAL OF PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, termination of this Agreement or any SLA shall not affect S&W's obligation to pay any amount then
owed to Pioneer (and amounts that become due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof after the applicable termination date) or a third party hereunder, including any Residual Costs or
any fees charged by third parties in connection with such termination of any Service.

6.08.   SETTLEMENT OF ACCOUNTS

Upon termination of any SLA, the Parties shall take all steps as may reasonably be required to complete any final settlement of accounts owing hereunder between
them with respect to such SLA (if any).  Upon the termination of this Agreement, there will be a final accounting and each Party shall pay to the other Party any amounts owed to the other
Party in accordance with the payment terms set forth in this Agreement.

                                                                19

ARTICLE 7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

7.01.   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

paid for but not properly performed, or (ii) if the Breaching Party is not the Party that performed the Service, to pay the Service Fees and Expenses if not otherwise paid.  SUBJECT TO THE
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OF ANY JURISDICTION THAT CANNOT BE VARIED BY CONTRACT, in no event shall EITHER PARTY be liable for punitive, exemplary, special, indirect,
incidental, or consequential Damages (including Damages for diminution in value, loss of business reputation, loss of business profits, business interruption, facility shutdown or non-
operation, loss of data or any other loss) arising from or relating to any Claim made under this Agreement or regarding the provision OR RECEIPT of or the failure to provide OR RECEIVE
Service(s) hereunder, whether or not caused by or resulting from negligence, INCLUDING gross negligence, or breach of obligations hereunder; even if THE BREACHING PARTY had been
advised or was aware of the possibility of such Damages.

7.02.   LIMITED LIABILITY EXCLUSIONS

	THE LIMITATION OF DAMAGES PROVIDED IN SECTION 7.01(B) (LIMITATION OF DAMAGES) SHALL NOT APPLY TO:

TO PROVIDE ANY SERVICE UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THE TERM FOR SUCH SERVICE OR THE PROPER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO ARTICLE
6 (TERMINATION).

7.03.   ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

	Limitations in SLAs.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.01 (Limitation of Liability), Pioneer's liability with respect to certain Services
shall be limited further pursuant to any express limitation set forth in the relevant SLA relating to such Services.  Any further limitations of liability or indemnities in any section of the relevant
SLA will be additive to the limitations in this Article 7. 

	Third Party Service Providers.  In the event that a third party supplier of Pioneer supplies any Service and S&W informs Pioneer that such Service
does not meet the Specification in the applicable section of the relevant SLA, then Pioneer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with S&W and the third party supplier to
bring the Service within the Specification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pioneer shall have no liability in respect of any Service supplied hereunder which fails to meet the applicable
Specification as provided in this Section 7.03(b) (Third Party Service Providers).

	Mitigation.  S&W and Pioneer (as the case may be) shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the loss and Damage (if

party" includes employees of the Parties) Liabilities, Damages, Claims, actions, losses and costs arising out of or relating to its obligations under this Agreement, to the extent such
Liabilities, Damages, Claims, actions, losses and costs are caused by or arise out of the Willful Breach or violation of Legal Requirement of or by the Indemnifying Person, its employees or

"Third-Party Claim"), such Indemnified Person shall, if a claim is to be made against the Indemnifying Person under this Article 8, give written
notice containing reasonable detail to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim.  If any Third-Party Claim is brought against an Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying
Person may participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it may elect, to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Indemnified Person.  In such event, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article 8 for
any fees of other counsel with respect to the defense of such Proceeding; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person are both named
parties to the Proceeding and representation of both Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Indemnified
Person may participate in such defense with one separate counsel (and one additional separate local counsel) at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Person.  An election to assume
the defense of a Third-Party Claim shall not be deemed to be an admission that the Indemnifying Person is liable to the Indemnified Person in respect of such Third-Party Claim or that the
claims made in the Third-Party Claim are within the scope of or subject to indemnification under this Article 8.  If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party
Claim, then the Indemnified Person may participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim, including attending meetings, conferences, teleconferences, settlement negotiations and other
related events (and to employ counsel at its own expense in connection therewith); provided, it being understood that the

                                                                22

Indemnifying Person shall control the defense of such
Third-Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Person in the defense of
such Third-Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim, no compromise or settlement of such claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Person
without the Indemnified Person's prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal
Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person, (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person and (iii) the terms of such
compromise or settlement include a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Person from all Liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim.  Without the Indemnifying Person's prior
written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, no Indemnified Person may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any
judgment for which the Indemnified Person is seeking indemnification under this Article 8, unless the Indemnifying Person fails to assume and maintain the defense of such Third-
Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.02.  If it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Person is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Person in
connection with any Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Person shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Person for any and all costs and expenses (including attorney's fees and court
costs) incurred by the Indemnifying Person in its defense of such Third-Party Claim.

ARTICLE 9. GOVERNANCE

 Pioneer and S&W shall each nominate a representative to act as the primary contact person for the provision of all of the Services (collectively, the
"Primary Coordinators").  The initial Primary Coordinators shall be [**]1 for S&W and [**]2 for Pioneer.  Pioneer and S&W shall advise each other, upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice, of any change in their respective Primary Coordinator.  Pioneer and S&W agree that all communications relating to the provision of the Services shall

Pioneer or one or more of Pioneer's Affiliates, third party agents or contractors, as designated by Pioneer, will own all such Intellectual Property relating to the Services and S&W will own
all such Intellectual Property relating to S&W Content unless the Parties otherwise specifically allocate such Intellectual Property in any SLA, or unless the Intellectual Property is a
derivative work of software in which one Party owns the Intellectual Property, in which case, such Party will own all such Intellectual Property.  Each of the Parties hereby assigns, and shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its respective Affiliates, third party agents or contractors to assign, all of its or their respective right, title and interest in and to any such
Intellectual Property to the other Party to effect the allocation of such rights as provided in this Section 10.01(d).  Each Party shall, at the other Party's expense, provide reasonable
assistance to the other Party in obtaining and enforcing the Intellectual Property as allocated hereunder in all countries in the world.  Such assistance shall include execution of all documents
reasonably required by the other Party.

	Disclaimer.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the SLAs, Pioneer shall not license, assign, transfer, or otherwise provide access to: (1)
engineering standards, protocols, processes and policies, including without limitation, engineering guidelines which consist of any "how-to" guidelines for designing, constructing,

capital or similar equipment into service (e.g., office equipment, lab equipment, specialty equipment, machinery, copiers, forklifts, furnishings and vehicles, which are not purchased or
acquired on behalf of S&W) ("Equipment").  It is understood that such Equipment may be commissioned from its own assets or acquired from a third party for the

                                                                24

sole or partial purpose of this Agreement.  S&W agrees to use this Pioneer-supplied Equipment for the intended and disclosed purpose and in accordance with reasonable operating
standards as the same may be set forth in any manuals, procedures, or rules provided with or communicated to S&W.  Such Equipment will be employed or used solely at the location to
which it is initially brought into service under this Agreement. Any Equipment or personal property so provided shall, at Pioneer's direction, be disposed of or surrendered to Pioneer at the end
of the applicable Service Term in good and working order and at the location at which it was provided or delivered to S&W.  S&W shall be liable to Pioneer or to its third party
provider for any damage caused by S&W, its Affiliates, employees, contractors or agents to the Equipment provided by
Pioneer.

ARTICLE 12. FORCE MAJEURE 

12.01.   EXCUSED PERFORMANCE 

The Party affected by a Force Majeure shall be excused from its performance of its obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement if, and to the extent that,
performance of such obligations is delayed, hindered or prevented by such Force Majeure.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Force Majeure affecting a third party supplier of any Service and any
failure by such a supplier to supply (in whole or in part) any Service for any other reason shall constitute a Force Majeure hereunder if, and to the extent and for as long that such event or
failure directly prevents, hinders or delays Pioneer in the performance of its obligations hereunder.  A Force Majeure shall not apply to the making of any payment due hereunder.

12.02.   NOTIFICATION 

If a Party is affected by Force Majeure, it shall notify the other Party in writing promptly of the cause and extent of such non-performance or likely non-performance, the
date or likely date of commencement thereof and the means proposed to be adopted to remedy or abate the Force Majeure; and the Parties shall without prejudice to the other provisions of
this Article 12 consult with a view to taking such steps as may be appropriate to mitigate the effects of such Force Majeure.

12.03.   OBLIGATIONS OF EXCUSED PARTY 

The Party subject to Force Majeure shall act as follows:

	The affected Party shall coordinate with the other Party, shall keep the other Party regularly informed during the course of the Force Majeure as to when
resumption of performance shall or is likely to occur, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy or abate the Force Majeure; provided, however, that nothing
in this Agreement shall require a Party to settle or compromise any strike or labor dispute.

                                                                25

	The affected Party shall resume performance within a reasonable time after (i) termination of the Force Majeure or (ii) the Force Majeure has abated to an extent,
that permits resumption of such performance in the affected Party's reasonable discretion.

	The affected Party shall notify the other Party when the Force Majeure has terminated or abated to an extent, that permits resumption of performance to occur in
the affected Party's reasonable discretion.

12.04.   NO LIABILITY 

If the Party affected by Force Majeure complies with the provisions of this Article 12, it shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this
Agreement arising from such Force Majeure.  

12.05.   SUBSTITUTE SERVICES

S&W may permanently terminate a Service affected by a Force Majeure on the later of: (i) thirty (30) days after the date on which S&W notifies Pioneer that
it intends to exercise its right to obtain permanent substitute Service and (ii) any later date of termination specified in such notice; and only in the event that such Force Majeure continues
through such date in the affected Party's discretion; provided that such notice shall be irrevocable upon receipt.  Upon such termination, Pioneer will have no further obligation to provide and
S&W shall have no further obligation to accept such Service(s) and all costs associated with such Service(s) shall cease to accrue.

ARTICLE 13.  MISCELLANEOUS

13.01.   ASSIGNMENTS; SUCCESSORS AND NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

Neither Party may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement without the consent of the other, except that Pioneer may, without such consent, assign this
Agreement to (i) any purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets in the line of business to which this Agreement pertains, or to any successor corporation that results from reincorporation,
merger, consolidation or similar transaction of such Party with or into such purchaser or such corporation, or (ii) any Affiliate of Pioneer; provided, however, that such
transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and
permitted assigns of the parties.  Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties
to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.  This Agreement and all of its provisions and
conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns.  Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section
13.01 shall be void.

13.02.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND MODIFICATION

                                                                27

13.05.   DISPUTE RESOLUTION; Governing Law; jURISDICTION  

	Any dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity or effectiveness of this Agreement, or any provision of
this Agreement, in the event the Parties fail to agree, shall, upon the written request of a Party, be referred to designated senior management representatives of the Parties for resolution.
Such representatives shall promptly meet and, in good faith, attempt to resolve the controversy, claim or issues referred to them.

	If such representatives do not resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the dispute is referred to them, the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration, in
accordance with the Center for Public Resources ("CPR") Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes.  For disputes in which the amount in
controversy is less than or equal to U.S. $1,000,000, the Parties shall mutually select one (1) neutral arbitrator who shall be qualified by experience and training to arbitrate commercial
disputes.  If the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator or if the amount in controversy exceeds U.S. $1,000,000, such dispute shall be settled by three (3) arbitrators who shall be qualified by
experience and training to arbitrate commercial disputes, of whom each Party involved in the arbitration shall appoint one (1), and the two (2) appointees shall select the third
(3rd), subject to meeting the qualifications for selection.  If the Parties have difficulty finding suitable arbitrators, the parties may seek assistance of CPR and its CPR Panels of
Distinguished Neutrals.  Judgment upon the award or other remedy rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The place of arbitration shall be in
Wilmington, Delaware.  The arbitrators shall apply the substantive law of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles, and their decision thereon shall be final and
binding on the parties.  Discovery shall be allowed in any form agreed to by the Parties, provided, that if the Parties cannot agree as to a form of discovery (i) all discovery shall be
concluded within one hundred twenty (120) days of service of the notice of arbitration, (ii) each Party shall be limited to no more than ten (10) requests for the production of any single
category of documents, and (iii) each party shall be limited to two (2) depositions each with a maximum time limit that shall not exceed four (4) hours.  Each Party shall be responsible for and
shall pay for the costs and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with any such arbitration; provided, however, that all filing and arbitrators' fees shall be borne fifty
percent (50%) by Pioneer and fifty percent (50%) by S&W.  Each Party does hereby irrevocably consent to service of process by registered mail, return receipt requested with respect to
any such arbitration in accordance with and at its address set forth in Section 13.03 (as such address may be updated from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section
13.03).  Any arbitration contemplated by this Section 13.05 shall be initiated by sending a demand for arbitration by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the applicable
party in accordance with and at the address set forth in Section 13.03 (as such address may be updated from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 13.03
and Article 9) and such demand letter shall state the amount of relief sought by the party making the demand. 

	All  Proceedings and any testimony, documents, communications and materials, whether written or oral, submitted to or generated by the parties to each other or
to the arbitration panel in connection with this Section 13.05 shall be deemed to be in furtherance of settlement negotiation and shall be privileged and confidential, and shielded from
production in other Proceedings except as may be required by Legal Requirements.

                                                                28

	This Agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles, and, except as otherwise
provided herein, the State and Federal courts in the City of Wilmington, Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based upon any
right arising out of, this Agreement.  The Parties hereto do hereby irrevocably (i) submit themselves to the personal jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) agree to service of such courts' process
upon them with respect to any such Proceeding, (iii) waive any objection to venue laid therein and (iv) consent to service of process by registered mail, return receipt requested in accordance
with and at its address set forth in Section 13.03 (as such address may be updated from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 13.03 and Article
9).

	The Parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing choice of law and forum provisions are the product of an arm's-length negotiation between the
Parties.

	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.05, either Party to this Agreement may seek, in the State or Federal courts in the City of
Wilmington, Delaware, interim or provisional injunctive relief (or similar equitable relief) to maintain the status quo until such time as the designated senior management representatives of the
Parties resolve a dispute referred to them or an arbitration award or other remedy is entered in connection with such dispute pursuant to this Section 13.05 and, by doing so, such
Party does not waive any right or remedy available under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall entitle S&W to any form of injunctive or
equitable relief requiring Pioneer to re-perform any non-conforming or deficient Service.

13.06.   NO IMPLIED WAIVER; NO JURY TRIAL

Except as otherwise set forth herein, the rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.  Neither the failure nor delay by any
Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single
or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No
waiver or discharge of any Claim or right under this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and executed by the Party against whom such change, waiver or discharge is sought to be
enforced, and is signed by the Primary Coordinator of each of the Parties.  Any other attempted discharge or waiver shall have no effect, regardless of its form.  EACH PARTY HEREBY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED UNDER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

13.07.   SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.  Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

                                                                29

13.08.   SECTION HEADINGS; CONSTRUCTION

The headings of Articles and Sections in this Agreement and the headings in the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto are provided for
convenience only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.  With respect to any reference made in this Agreement to a Section (or Article, clause or
preamble), Exhibit, or Schedule, such reference shall be to the corresponding section (or article, clause or preamble) of, or the corresponding exhibit or schedule to, this
Agreement.  All words used in this Agreement shall be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require.  In this Agreement, with respect to the computation of periods
of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word "from" means "from and including" and the words "to" and "until" each mean
"to but excluding."  Unless otherwise expressly provided, the words "including", "include" and "includes" do not limit the preceding words or
terms.  Any reference to a specific "day" or to a period of time designated in "days" shall mean a calendar day or period of calendar days unless the day or period is
expressly designated as being a Business Day or period of Business Days.  The use of "or" is not intended to be exclusive unless expressly indicated otherwise.  The parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) each party and its counsel have reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and have contributed to its revision, (b) the
rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement and (c) the terms and provisions of
this Agreement shall be construed fairly as to all parties hereto, regardless of which party was generally responsible for the preparation of this Agreement.  

13.09.   COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including via facsimile or portable document format (PDF)), each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.  

13.10.   RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

In all matters relating to this Agreement, the Parties will be acting solely as independent contractors and will be solely responsible for the acts of their
employees, officers, directors and agents.  Employees, agents or contractors of one Party shall not be considered employees, agents or contractors of the other Party.   S&W shall not
have the right, power or authority to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the Pioneer.  Pioneer shall not have the right, power or authority to create any obligation, express or
implied, on behalf of S&W, except when S&W expressly appoints Pioneer as S&W's agent in writing, and Pioneer accepts such appointment in writing.

13.11.   CONFLICT

In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any SLA, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern, unless such
SLA contains a conflicting term or condition expressly stated in the relevant section of the applicable SLA, in which case the term or condition of such SLA shall govern.  In the event of a
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern solely with respect to the subject matter
hereof. In the event of a

                                                                30

conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any of the DEAA and/or the DISO Policies and Standards, the provisions of the DEAA and/or
the DISO Policies and Standards, as applicable, shall govern.   In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the final English version of this Agreement and the terms and
conditions of any non-English version of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the final English version shall control.  

13.12.   SURVIVAL OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS

Without prejudice to the survival of the provisions of any other agreements of the Parties, the Parties expressly agree that the provisions of Article 3
(Information Systems and Support); Article 5 (Confidentiality); Section 6.06 (Effect of Termination); Section 6.07 (Survival of Payment Obligations);
Article 7 (Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer of Warranties); Article 8 (Indemnification); Article 10 (Information Assets); and this Article 13
(Miscellaneous) shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

13.13.   NO PUBLIC UTILITY

It is understood that no Party hereto considers the other Party to be a public utility, and no Party intends by this Agreement to engage in the business of being a public
utility or to enjoy any of the powers and privileges of a public utility or, by its performance of its obligations hereunder to dedicate to public or quasi-public use
or purpose any of the facilities which it operates, and each Party agrees that the execution of this Agreement shall not, nor shall any performance or partial performance, be or ever deemed,
asserted or urged by a Party to be a dedication to public or quasi-public use of any such facilities of the other Party or as subjecting the other Party to any jurisdiction or regulation as a public
utility. 

13.14.   SUPPLY OF SERVICES

The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is an agreement for the supply of services and is not an agreement for the sale of goods and shall not be
governed by Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code or the United Nations International Convention for the Sale of Goods or any analogous Legal Requirement purporting to apply to the
sale of goods.

13.15.   COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

In performing its obligations, each Party will comply with all federal, state, and local Legal Requirements, ordinances, tariffs, and regulations of Governmental Bodies
applicable to such Party.
