This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of February 9, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), is between DFI Holdings, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, and KPS Holdco, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (collectively, “Buyers”), and American Republic Investment Co., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”, and together with Seller, the “Parties”, and each, a “Party”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), between Seller and Buyers.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, each of Seller and Buyers will provide to the other certain services during a transitional period on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1.           Services.

(a)          As used herein, (i) the term “Provider” means Seller or Buyers, as the case may be, when such Party or any of its Affiliates is providing Services (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) the term “Recipient” means Seller or Buyers, as the case may be, when such Party or any of its Affiliates is receiving Services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)          Seller shall provide, or cause one or more of its Affiliates to provide, to the Company Group the services set forth on Annex A hereto (the “Seller Services”).

(c)          Buyers shall provide, or cause one or more of their Affiliates (including, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company Group) to provide, to Seller the services set forth on Annex B hereto (the “Buyer Services” and together with the Seller Services, the “Services”).

(d)          The Parties have set forth on Annex A and Annex B the time period during which the Services will be provided (if different from the Term as set forth in Section 4(a)), a description of the Service to be provided and any other terms applicable thereto.

(e)          Each Provider shall provide, or cause one or more of its Affiliates to provide, the Services with the same degree of skill, attention and care as it exercises in performing the same or similar services for itself and its Affiliates and in the manner and at a level of service generally consistent with that provided by Provider or its Affiliates to the Recipient and its Affiliates immediately preceding the date of this Agreement. Except as set forth in this Section 1(e), neither Party makes any warranties, express or implied, with respect to the Services to be provided by such Party pursuant to this Agreement.

(f)          Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a Recipient from obtaining, in whole or in part, services of any nature that may be obtainable from the Provider, from its own employees or from providers other than the Provider.

(g)          Unless expressly provided otherwise on Annex A or Annex B, as the case may be, the Provider shall not be required to (i) expand its facilities, incur new long-term capital expenses or employ additional personnel in order to provide the Services to the Recipient or (ii) provide Services hereunder that are greater in nature and scope than the comparable services provided prior to the Effective Date.

(h)          In providing the Services, the Provider, as it deems necessary or appropriate in its reasonable judgment, may (a) use the personnel of the Provider or its Affiliates and (b) employ the services of third parties to the extent such third party services are routinely utilized to provide similar services to other businesses of the Provider or are reasonably necessary for the efficient performance of any of such Services; provided that any Services that were not provided by a third party prior to the Effective Date shall be provided by a third party after the Effective Date only with the prior written consent of the Recipient, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Provider will only employ the services of third parties who have entered into non-disclosure agreements that obligate such third parties to maintain the confidentiality of the Recipient’s confidential information and that prohibit the third party from using such confidential information for any purpose other than in connection with providing the Services. The Recipient may retain at its own expense its own providers, consultants and other professional advisers.

(i)          All employees and representatives of the Provider and its Affiliates shall be deemed for purposes of all compensation and employee benefits matters to be employees or representatives, as the case may be, of such Provider and its Affiliates and in no event shall be deemed employees or representatives of the Recipient. In performing the Services, such employees and representatives shall be under the direction, control and supervision of the Provider (and not the Recipient) and the Provider shall have the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to the employment (including termination of employment), assignment and compensation of such employees and representatives. Whenever the Provider or its Affiliates utilize third-party providers to perform Services pursuant to this Agreement, such third-party providers shall at all times remain subject to the direction and control of Provider or such Affiliate. Recipient and its Affiliates shall have no liability to any employees or representatives of Provider or third-party providers for any welfare, salaries, fringe benefits, legally-required employer contributions and tax obligations by virtue of the provision of Services or as a result of the relationships established under this Agreement. No equipment or facility of Provider used in performing Services for Recipient and its Affiliates shall be deemed to be transferred, assigned, conveyed or leased by such performance or use. Provider shall maintain appropriate security, maintenance and insurance coverage on such equipment and facilities.

(j)          If there is an unavoidable conflict between the immediate needs of the Provider and those of the Recipient as to the use of or access to a particular Service to be provided by the Provider, the Provider shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to establish reasonable priorities, at particular times and under particular circumstances, as between the Provider and the Recipient. In any such situation, the Provider shall provide notice to the Recipient of the establishment of such priorities at the earliest practicable time.

2.           Cooperation. The Recipient shall, in a timely manner, take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to enable or assist the Provider in the Provider’s provision of Services, including providing necessary information and specific written authorizations and consents, and the Provider shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent that the Recipient’s failure to take any such action renders performance by the Provider of such obligations unlawful or impracticable.

3.           Compensation. The Parties agree that the provision of the Services is included as part of the consideration exchanged between the Parties in connection with the Closing and no additional amounts are to be paid by the Recipient to the Provider for the provision of Services under this Agreement.

4.           Term; Termination.

(a)          Subject to the further provisions of this Section 4 and except as expressly provided with respect to a specific Service in Annex A or Annex B, this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless this Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to any of its express provisions, shall end on the date one year following the Effective Date (the “Termination Date”); provided that if a Party desires and the other Party agrees to continue Services after the Termination Date, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine an agreed-upon extension period which shall only be effective if memorialized in a writing signed by both Parties.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in Annex A or Annex B, the Recipient may terminate any individual Service on a Service-by-Service basis (and/or location-by-location basis where an individual Service is provided at multiple locations of Recipient) upon prior written notice to the Provider identifying the particular Service (or location) to be terminated and the effective date of termination, which date shall be not less than thirty days after receipt of such notice.

(c)           This Agreement may be terminated as to all or any portion of the Services prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement as set forth in Section 4(a), upon written notice as set forth below:

(i)          by either Party, if the other Party commits a material breach of any provision of this Agreement and such material breach continues for a period of 30 days following a written request to cure such breach; or

(ii)         by either Party, upon written notice to the other Party, in the event that the other Party hereto shall (1) file a petition in bankruptcy, (2) become or be declared insolvent, or become the subject of any proceedings (not dismissed within sixty (60) days) related to its liquidation, insolvency or the appointment of a receiver, (3) make an assignment on behalf of all or substantially all of its creditors, or (4) take any corporate action for its winding up or dissolution.

(d)          Following any termination of this Agreement, each Provider shall cooperate in good faith with the Recipient to transfer records and take all other actions reasonably requested by the Recipient to enable the Recipient to make alternative arrangements for the provision of services substantially consistent with the Services provided pursuant to this Agreement.

(e)          Each Recipient specifically agrees and acknowledges that all obligations of the Provider to provide each Service for which the Provider is responsible hereunder shall immediately cease upon the termination of this Agreement. Upon the cessation of the Provider’s obligation to provide any Service, the Recipient shall immediately cease using, directly or indirectly, such Service (including any and all software of the Provider or third party software provided through the Provider, telecommunications services or equipment, or computer systems or equipment).

(f)          Upon termination of a Service with respect to which the Provider holds books, records or files, including current or archived copies of computer files, owned by the Recipient and used by the Provider in connection with the provision of a Service to the Recipient, the Provider will return all such books, records or files as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that the Provider may make a copy, at its expense, of such books, records or files for archival purposes only.

5.           Accounting Records and Documents.

(a)          Each Party shall be responsible for maintaining full and accurate accounts and records of all Services rendered by such Party pursuant to this Services Agreement and shall provide such additional information as the other Party may reasonably request for purposes of its internal bookkeeping, accounting, operations and management. Each Party shall maintain its accounts and records in accordance with past practice.

(b)          At any time during the Term of this Agreement, and for a period of one (1) year after termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party, its Affiliates, or an authorized independent auditor or counsel of such Party or such Affiliates, shall have the right to inspect the other Party’s books and records relating to the Services upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice during regular business hours and without undue disruption of the normal operations of the other Party.

(c)          All information to which a Party, its Affiliates, or either of their representatives gain access pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to the terms of the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement.

6.           Liability and Indemnity.

(a)          The Provider hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Recipient and its respective officers, directors, agents, employees and Affiliates harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, expenses, fines and penalties of any kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by the Recipient, resulting from any demand, claim, lawsuit, action or proceeding arising out of or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Provider or its Affiliates (or any third party that provides a Service to the Recipient on behalf of Provider) in connection with the provision of Services (or failure to provide Services). The Provider’s liability under this Section 6(a) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6(b).

(b)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Provider nor the Recipient shall be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever, including loss of profits, business interruptions and claims of customers.

(c)          The procedures and limitations for indemnification set forth in Article 6 of the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

7.           Proprietary Information. Each Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information relating to the other Party, its Affiliates or any third party that may be disclosed by a Party to the other Party in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder and to use such information solely for the purposes of providing or receiving the Services hereunder. Each Party shall retain the entire right, interest and title to its proprietary information. No license under any patent, copyright, trademark, other intellectual property right or any application therefor, is hereby granted or implied by the provision of Services to the Recipient.

8.           Tax Liability. Each Party shall be responsible for all sales or use taxes imposed or assessed as a result of the provision of Services by such Party.

9.           Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder may be assigned by either of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, except that (a) each Party, in its capacity as a Provider, may assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) any of its Affiliates or (ii) third parties to the extent such third parties are routinely used to provide such Services to affiliates and businesses of the Provider, in either case, without the prior written consent of the Recipient and (b) an assignment by operation of law in connection with a merger or consolidation shall not require the consent of the other Party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Seller and Buyers shall remain liable for all of their respective obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 10, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns and no other person shall have any right, obligation or benefit hereunder. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 10 shall be void.

10.         Third Party Beneficiaries. No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer upon any person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder, except for Affiliates of Seller who are to receive Services hereunder. Such Affiliates of Seller may enforce this Agreement in connection with Services to be provided to them hereunder.

11.         Force Majeure.

(a)          The Provider shall not be in default hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder where such failure or delay is due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including strikes, labor disputes, civil disturbances, riot, rebellion, invasion, epidemic, hostilities, war, embargo, natural disaster, acts of God, acts of terrorism, flood, fire, sabotage, accident, delay in transportation, loss and destruction of property, intervention by governmental entities, change in laws, regulations or orders, other events or any other circumstances or causes beyond the Provider’s reasonable control.

12.         Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof and that each Party shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof (without the need to post bond or any other security), in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
