SCHEDULE 1

Form of Transition Services Agreement

[see attached]



Schedule 1


TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Transition Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this [__] day of [_________], 2012 (the “Effective Date”) by and between BP WEST COAST PRODUCTS LLC, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“BPWCP”) and TESORO REFINING AND MARKETING COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”). BPWCP and the Company are each referred to individually as a “Party” and referred to collectively as the “Parties.”
BPWCP and certain of its Affiliates and the Company have entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2012 (the “PSA”), under which BPWCP and certain of its Affiliates have agreed to sell to the Company and the Company has agreed to purchase from them substantially all of the assets, and assume and acquire certain of the rights and liabilities of the Business.
The Parties agreed in the PSA to enter into a transition services agreement in which BPWCP would provide to the Company services with respect to the operation of certain portions of the Business for a limited time period after Closing.
The Parties therefore agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
SERVICES
1.1
Services.
(a)    During the term set forth in the Term Sheets, as provided in Article 2, BPWCP shall provide, or cause to be provided, services to the Company in relation to the operation of the Business, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (individually, each a “Service” and, collectively, the “Services”).
(b)    The Services are comprised of each of the services and functions to be provided to the Business as enumerated in the term sheets appended to Schedule 1.1(b) (the “Term Sheets”) and any additional activities and functions that are reasonably required for the proper performance of the enumerated services and functions (other than any activities and functions that are expressly excluded), with the intent that the Services shall facilitate the uninterrupted operation of the Business after the Closing to a level and quality of service consistent with that achieved by BPWCP in the conduct of its own operations prior to the execution of the PSA (but subject to Section 7.5 therein).
(c)    BPWCP shall provide consulting Services to the Company pursuant to this Agreement as required pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Technology Agreement for a Term of up to twelve (12) months in an amount agreed to by the Parties pursuant to Section 7.11 of the PSA for a fee equal to BP’s actual cost. In addition, BPWCP shall continue to operate, maintain and



support, for up to twelve months after the Closing and for the benefit of the Company, any IT System that is licensed to BPWCP or an Affiliate pursuant to a Consent Required License (as defined in the Technology Agreement) until the license is assigned or transferred to Company as provided in the Technology Agreement, or until alternative arrangements are made as provided in Section 7.2 or 7.11 of the PSA, but only to the extent that such Services are permitted under the terms of the Consent Required License and the Company pays BP’s actual costs incurred in providing such Services.
(d)    The Services may be provided to the Company, or the Business, from BPWCP directly or through one or more of its Affiliates or Third Party Providers (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, (i) with respect to the provision of the Services, it is understood that the term “BPWCP” includes BPWCP, its Affiliates, and any Third Party providing Services to the Company or the Business on BPWCP’s behalf (provided that BPWCP shall remain liable for the performance of BPWCP’s obligations hereunder, whether such obligations are performed by BPWCP, an Affiliate or a Third Party), and (ii) with respect to the receipt of the Services, it is understood that the term “Company” includes the Company (or its permitted successor(s) and assign(s)) and the Business, as the case may be, with respect to any Service described in a Term Sheet.
(e)    The Services are provided solely for the exclusive use and benefit of the Company.
(f)    BPWCP and the Company may, by mutual written agreement, amend the Services to include other services in exchange for additional fees (“Additional Services”). Unless specifically stated to the contrary within a Term Sheet, and subject to Article 2, any such Additional Services will be deemed to be a “Service” for the remainder of the Term or, if applicable, the Extended Term.
(g)    In this Agreement:
(i)
“Existing” means existing on the Execution Date of the PSA.
(ii)
BP Indemnitees” means BP, each of BP’s Affiliates, and the officers, directors, independent contractors, partners, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, and successors and assigns of BP and BP’s Affiliates.
(iii)
Claim” means any action, suit, proceeding or demand brought against a Party by a third party that is not an Affiliate of a Party.
(iv)
Company Indemnitees” means Company, each of Company’s Affiliates, and the officers, directors, independent contractors, partners, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, and successors and assigns of Company and Company’s Affiliates.
(v)
“Indemnified Losses” means (i) any and all damages, penalties, costs and fines that are finally awarded against a Party by a court of



competent jurisdiction or governmental authority in connection with a Claim and associated costs of defense (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (ii) any amounts paid in settlement of a Claim.
(vi)
“Third Party IP” means any and all third party software and other Intellectual Property owned by third parties that is used by BPWCP, or provided to the Company by BPWCP, in the course of providing the Services.

1.2
Level of Services and Limitations.
(a)    BPWCP will perform the Services with reasonable care and in the manner and at a relative level of service (including type, quality, quantity, and level of priority) (i) substantially similar to the Services provided in the ordinary course of business with respect to the Business in the six month period prior to execution of the PSA, and (ii) in accordance with the specific provisions of each Term Sheet, as applicable. Nothing in this Agreement will require BPWCP to favor the businesses of the Company over its own businesses or those of any of its divisions, business units, or Affiliates. The Company will not be entitled to any new service or to substantially increase its use of any of the Services above the level of use specified in this Agreement or in an applicable Term Sheet, without the prior written consent of BPWCP. To the extent any Services are being provided to the Business by a Third Party on the date of this Agreement, BPWCP will use Reasonable Efforts to provide or procure the provision of the Services to the Company by such Third Party for the applicable term of such Service.
(b)    From the Effective Date and throughout the Term, BPWCP shall:
(i)
With respect to Existing BPWCP personnel who have experience with the systems and processes that are included within the Services, use Reasonable Efforts to retain them in the positions they occupied on the Execution Date of the PSA;
(ii)
ensure that its personnel whose decisions are necessary for the performance of the Services are available at reasonable times for consultation by the Company on any matter relating to the Services;
(iii)
facilitate Company’s communication with Existing third party suppliers and vendors to enable Company to establish its own sources of supply of products and services used in the performance of the Services;
(iv)
except as (i) expressly provided otherwise in a schedule to this Agreement or in a Term Sheet or (ii) authorized to do so in advance in writing by the Company, not use, access, attempt to



access, or interfere with any of the Company’s information technology systems or data;
(v)
maintain Existing system controls, system and data backup and recovery procedures, and physical and logical security procedures, controls and safeguards to protect the confidentiality and integrity of Business data that is processed and/or stored by BPWCP as part of the Services; and
(vi)
cooperate with the Company in implementing and observing security arrangements, requirements, or protocols that the Company considers reasonably appropriate to prevent BPWCP or any Third Party from using or accessing any of the Company’s information technology systems or data to the extent that such use or access is not in connection with the Services or is otherwise without authorization.
(c)    In providing the Services, except as required pursuant to Section 2.6 or unless specifically set forth in the PSA or a Term Sheet, BPWCP is not obligated to:
(i)
purchase, lease, or license any additional equipment or software; provided, however, that if requested by the Company in writing, BPWCP may, in its sole discretion, elect to purchase, lease, or license equipment or software if such equipment or software is reasonably necessary for the provision of Services hereunder, and the Company shall reimburse BPWCP for all costs associated with such purchases, leases, or licenses;
(ii)
create or supply any documentation or information not existing as of the date of this Agreement or available through minimal efforts of BPWCP (as reasonably determined by BPWCP);
(iii)
enter into additional contracts with Third Parties providing services to BPWCP or any of its Affiliates (“Third Party Providers”) or change the scope of current agreements with Third Party Providers. However, if requested by the Company in writing, BPWCP may, in its sole discretion, (A) elect to enter into additional contracts or change the scope of current agreements with Third Party Providers if BPWCP believes that such additional or changed agreements are reasonably necessary for the provision of the Services or (B) undertake such matters as Additional Services under this Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, the Company agrees to reimburse BPWCP for all charges payable to such Third Party Providers and actual incremental costs, if any, incurred by BPWCP and attributable to such additional or changed agreements.



(d)    BPWCP’s obligation to provide the Services shall be conditioned upon and subject to any legal obligations, prohibitions or restrictions applicable to it, and this Agreement shall not obligate BPWCP to violate, modify or eliminate any such obligation, prohibition or restriction. For the avoidance of doubt, BPWCP is not obligated to provide any Service to the extent and for so long as the performance of such Service: (i) would require BPWCP to violate any applicable Laws; (ii) would result in the breach of any software license or other applicable contract, including any Third Party Provider agreement relevant to the provision of the Services; or (iii) requires information or assistance from the Company that the Company has failed to provide. This Agreement is a purely commercial transaction between the Parties and nothing stated in this Agreement shall operate to create any special or fiduciary duty between the Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all matters pertaining to the employment, supervision, compensation, promotion and discharge of any personnel of BPWCP are the responsibility of BPWCP. All such employment arrangements are solely BPWCP’s obligation, and the Company shall have no liability with respect thereto.
(e)    If any Service is performed by a Third Party Provider: (i) all charges from such Third Party Provider that are attributable to the Services provided to the Company are included in the fees payable to BPWCP unless expressly provided to the contrary in a Term Sheet; (ii) BPWCP shall be solely responsible for directing and supervising such Third Party Providers; and (iii) the Company shall not, in any circumstance, attempt to independently direct or instruct such Third Party Provider’s activities without BPWCP’s express, prior written authorization for such direction or instruction.
(f)    Except as may be expressly contemplated by the PSA, BPWCP is not obligated to assign any licenses, rights, or contracts to the Company.
1.3
Assumption of Services; Partial Termination.
(a)    The Company will assume performance of all of the Services described in this Agreement as soon as commercially practicable following the Effective Date, with the goal of conducting for itself the Services on or prior to the applicable Term Sheet Termination Date for each Service as set forth in the applicable Term Sheet. BPWCP has no obligation to perform any Services after the termination of such Service pursuant to the terms of the applicable Term Sheet. The Company shall, with BPWCP’s reasonable assistance, obtain all approvals, permits and licenses, complete any registrations, and implement any systems, in each case, as may be reasonably necessary for it to perform the Services independently as soon as commercially practicable following the Closing.
(b)    The Company may terminate any Service by giving BPWCP not less than 20 Business Days’ prior written notice. The termination notice shall specify the effective date of termination, which shall be no more than 60 days after the date of the notice. If the Company terminates some but not all of the Services provided pursuant to a Term Sheet, the parties shall negotiate an equitable adjustment to the fees payable pursuant to that Term Sheet with the intent that any cost savings resulting from the cessation of the terminated Services shall be passed through to the Company. BPWCP shall use Reasonable Efforts to eliminate and/or reduce costs



as Services are terminated so as to minimize the ongoing fees payable by the Company. If the Company terminates a Term Sheet in its entirety, all of the fees payable for Services pursuant to that Term Sheet shall cease to accrue on and from the effective date of termination, and BPWCP shall refund the Company any prepaid Service fees that are attributable to periods of Service on and after the effective date of termination. The Company shall not be required to pay any early termination fees (including breakage fees, demobilization fees or similar early termination charges to Third Party Providers) except as expressly provided in a Term Sheet.
1.4
Records.
If charges for any Service to the Company are on an hourly time and/or materials basis, then BPWCP shall maintain or cause to be maintained at its offices time and/or cost of materials records as are customarily maintained by or for its own operations relating to the Services rendered under this Agreement. During the Term and, if applicable, the Extended Term, the Company will have the right to request and receive copies of such records of BPWCP no more than once in each two month period following the Effective Date.
1.5
Managers and Sponsors.
(a)    During the Term, (i) BPWCP shall appoint one of its employees (the “BPWCP Manager”) who will have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the delivery of the Services and will coordinate and consult with the Company Manager (as defined below) and (ii) BPWCP shall appoint one of its employees (the “BPWCP Sponsor”) who will have sole responsibility for receiving and responding to requests from the Company Sponsor (as defined below) for approved Company employees’ access to any BPWCP networks or other external connectivity systems provided by BPWCP as part of the Services. BPWCP may, at its reasonable discretion, following consultation with the Company Manager, select other individuals to serve in the capacity of the BPWCP Manager and/or BPWCP Sponsor during the Term or any Extended Term. The BPWCP Manager and the BPWCP Sponsor are designated in Schedule 1.5(a).
(b)    During the Term, (i) the Company will appoint one of its employees (the “Company Manager”) who will have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating receipt of the Services and will coordinate and consult with the BPWCP Manager and (ii) the Company shall appoint one of its employees (the “Company Sponsor”) who will have sole responsibility for sending requests to the BPWCP Sponsor for approved Company employees’ access to any BPWCP networks or other external connectivity systems provided by BPWCP as part of the Services. The Company may, at its reasonable discretion, following consultation with the BPWCP Manager, select other individuals to serve in the capacity of the Company Manager and/or Company Sponsor during the Term or any Extended Term. The Company Manager and the Company Sponsor are designated in Schedule 1.5(b).
(c)    The BPWCP Manager and the Company Manager will serve as the respective primary points of contact for BPWCP and the Company between the Parties, and will meet regularly to



(i)
discuss and, as reasonably needed, jointly develop, monitor and oversee the implementation of appropriate plans for separating the Business from BPWCP’s businesses and operations, and for preparing the Business for standalone operation not later than the Agreement Termination Date; and
(ii)
address issues and attempt to resolve disputes that may arise during the course of this Agreement.
(d)    Any instruction, direction, or approval given by the Company Manager to the BPWCP Manager will be deemed to be given by the Company, and BPWCP will be entitled to act on such instruction, direction, or approval, provided it is not in conflict with the terms of this Agreement. Any instruction, direction, or approval given by the BPWCP Manager to the Company Manager will be deemed to be given by BPWCP, and the Company will be entitled to act on such instructions, direction, or approval.
1.6
Company Obligations.
From the Effective Date and throughout the Term and any Extended Term, the Company shall:
(a)    at its own cost, promptly provide to BPWCP’s personnel and its contractors or agents engaged in providing Services all information (including copies of documents and data) and other assistance reasonably requested by such personnel, contractors, or agents as needed to provide or procure the provision of the Services to the Company;
(b)    ensure that the Company’s personnel whose decisions are necessary for the performance of the Services are available at reasonable times for consultation on any matter relating to the Services;
(c)    except as (i) expressly provided otherwise in a schedule to this Agreement or in a Term Sheet or (ii) authorized to do so in advance in writing by BPWCP, not use, access, attempt to access, or interfere with any of BPWCP’s information technology systems or data;
(d)    cooperate with BPWCP in implementing and observing security arrangements, requirements, or protocols that BPWCP considers reasonably appropriate to prevent the Company or any Third Party from using or accessing any of BPWCP’s information technology systems or data without authorization; and
(e)    provide BPWCP’s personnel and its contractors or agents engaged in providing Services with electronic and physical access to the Company’s premises and facilities as reasonably necessary to perform the Services. The extent of such access will be no less than the access formerly required to properly provide analogous or comparable services to the Business prior to execution of the PSA. All rights of access under this clause will at all times be subject to the Company’s applicable health, safety, security, and environmental policies; and



(f)    perform all other obligations of the Company as specified in the Term Sheets.
1.7
Validity of Data and Information.
BPWCP is entitled to rely upon the genuineness, validity, and truthfulness of any data, document, instrument, or other writing furnished by the Company in connection with the performance of the Services unless such document, instrument, or other writing appears on its face to be erroneous, fraudulent, false, or forged.
1.8
Warranties.
BPWCP represents and warrants that:
(a)    The performance of the Services will not result in the breach of any license with respect to IT Systems or other Third Party Intellectual Property, or any other applicable contract, including any Third Party Provider agreement relevant to the provision of the Services.
(b)    The only Third Party Provider and Third Party licensor consents that must be obtained in order to permit BPWCP to fully perform the Services as contemplated by this Agreement are listed in Schedule 1.8(b).

ARTICLE 2
TERM AND TERMINATION
2.1
Term of Services.
(a)    The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue until all Services rendered pursuant to any Term Sheet have been terminated pursuant to the terms of each such Term Sheet (the “Term”). Subject to Sections 2.2 and 2.3, this Agreement will terminate at the end of the Term or, if applicable, the Extended Term (the “Agreement Termination Date”).
(b)    Some Services will not necessarily be provided by BPWCP at all times during the entire Term or, if applicable, the Extended Term. Each of the Term Sheets sets out the date on which the Service(s) provided pursuant to such Term Sheet will end (the “Term Sheet Termination Date”) during the Term. Unless the Term Sheet Termination Date for a particular Service provided hereunder is extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such date shall be the termination date as to such Service and, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, BPWCP shall have no obligation to provide any Service hereunder after the Term Sheet Termination Date for such Service. Notwithstanding the termination of the provision of any Service prior to the Agreement Termination Date, this Agreement will continue in effect until the Agreement Termination Date or the last date on which the Parties mutually agree that the last Service is to be delivered to the Company, whichever is earlier.



2.2
Extended Term.
(a)    Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to extend the Term of a Term Sheet by up to 180 days by giving written notice of such extension to BPWCP at least 30 days before the applicable Term Sheet Termination Date. Any further extension of the Term for such Term Sheet is permitted only with the prior written agreement of BPWCP. The period of extension of the Term Sheet is referred to as the “Extended Term” and the Services provided during the Extended Term are referred to as the “Extended Services”. Company may exercise such extension rights independently for each Term Sheet.
(b)    Other than as set forth in Section 2.2(a), there will be no extensions of any of the Term Sheet Termination Dates for any Services.
(c)    The Fees for any Extended Services will be increased by ten percent (10%) of the Fees applicable to each such Service during the initial term associated with the provision of such Service. Alternatively, in lieu of such increase BPWCP has the right to pass through to the Company any increases in BPWCP’s own direct costs and the Third Party costs to provide such Extended Services relative to such costs during the initial term associated with the provision of such Service. BPWCP shall substantiate any such increase in costs to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction.
2.3
Early Termination.
(a)     This Agreement and any Term Sheet may be terminated prior to the Agreement Termination Date or Term Sheet Termination Date, respectively, as follows:
(i)
by mutual written consent of the Company and BPWCP;
(ii)
by the Company, as to any particular Service, under Section 1.3(b);
(iii)
by the Company, on the one hand, or BPWCP, on the other hand, if the other Party breaches any of its material covenants or other material obligations in this Agreement, and fails to cure such breach as promptly as commercially practicable but in any event within 20 Business Days after receipt of written notice from the non-breaching Party of such breach (which notice must specify, in commercially reasonable detail, the nature of such breach); at the expiration of such cure period, the non-breaching Party is entitled to immediately, by written notice to the breaching Party, terminate this Agreement, without penalty, liability, or further obligation (except for those obligations that have accrued prior to the termination of this Agreement);
(iv)
by either Party upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event in respect of a Party; or
(v)
by either Party pursuant to Section 7.7(c).




(b)    “Insolvency Event” means, in relation to any Party, that such Party:
(i)
files a petition commencing a voluntary case under any chapter of the federal bankruptcy laws; or
(ii)
files a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition under any similar applicable federal law, or consents to the filing of any such petition, answer or consent; or
(iii)
appoints or consents to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, trustee, assignee or other similar official in bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to such Party of any substantial part of its property; or
(iv)
has an order for relief against such Party entered by a court having jurisdiction in the premises under any chapter of the federal bankruptcy laws, and such order remains in force undischarged or unstayed for 30 days; or
(v)
has a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, trustee, assignee or other similar official in bankruptcy or insolvency of such Party or any substantial part of its property, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, has been entered, and such decree or order has remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 30 days; or
(vi)
has admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or has made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or
(vii)
causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any of the events specified in (i) to (vi) inclusive.
For the avoidance of doubt, an Insolvency Event shall not occur in relation to a Party as a result of any proceeding, process or other administrative action taken which is vexatious, frivolous or an abuse of the process of the court.

(c)    If a Party has the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety (including all Term Sheets) pursuant to Section 2.3(a) then such Party may, in lieu of terminating this Agreement in its entirety, elect to terminate one or more Term Sheets without terminating this Agreement or the remaining Term Sheets.



(d)    If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Agreement Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.3(a), then such earlier date of termination will be deemed to be the Agreement Termination Date.
2.4    Suspension of Services for Non-Payment. If any undisputed amount exceeding US$250,000 due to BPWCP in respect of Services delivered by BPWCP to the Company is not the subject of a bona fide dispute and is not paid when due (or paid into escrow as provided in Section 3.3(b)), BPWCP may provide written notice to the Company that the amount is due and unpaid and, if the Company has not paid the unpaid amount in full by the date falling seven (7) Business Days from the date of receipt of BPWCP’s written notice, BPWCP may immediately suspend further deliveries of that Service and all dependent Services to which such non-payment relates until payment of such outstanding amount is received by BPWCP.
2.5
Survival.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3, (a) the Parties’ obligations in Sections 2.5 and 2.6, Article 5, Article 6, and Article 7 of this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement or any Term Sheet and (b) any termination of this Agreement is without prejudice to any rights or obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement which have vested, matured, or accrued prior to such termination.
2.6
Procedures Upon Termination of Services.
(a)    Upon termination of a Service under this Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws, the Parties shall comply with the following disengagement provisions:
(i)

Upon delivery of such documentation, the Company and BPWCP shall cooperate in good faith and use Reasonable Efforts to resolve any remaining dispute expeditiously. Upon the request of BPWCP, the Company shall escrow disputed amounts that exceed US$250,000. Neither Party shall place (or allow the placement) of any lien or encumbrances on or against any such escrowed amounts.

(f)    Subject to compliance with applicable Law, the Parties shall cooperate so as to minimize the requirement for any such withholding. If the Parties agree to the Payment Date, they may net invoices for all undisputed amounts that are due to each other on the same date pursuant to this Agreement. In that case, prior to the Payment Date, the Parties shall confirm in writing the invoice amounts and the amount remaining, if any, after net out to the Party owed the balance.

ARTICLE 4
FORCE MAJEURE
(a)    Subject to Paragraph (c) below, a Party will not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including any transaction, to the extent that such failure or delay may be due to any of the following events (each such event, a “Force Majeure” event):

(b)    For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Force Majeure” expressly excludes (a) a failure of performance of any person other than the Parties, except to the extent that such failure was caused by an event that would otherwise satisfy the definition of a Force Majeure event as set forth in this Article 4, (b) any lack of a market or unfavorable market conditions for any good supplied hereunder, (c) any failure by a Party to apply for, obtain or maintain any permit, approval, or right of way necessary under applicable Law for the performance of any obligation hereunder, (d) a Party’s inability to economically perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (e) any failure of performance that could have been avoided through the use of commercially reasonable alternative sources and workarounds.

with respect to such Services (other than any obligations arising pursuant to this Agreement prior to the occurrence of such Force Majeure event).

INDEMNITY AND RELEASE
5.1
IP Indemnities.
(a)    Subject to Section 5.1(b), Company agrees for itself, its successors and permitted assigns, to defend and hold the BP Indemnitees harmless from and against all Claims, and pay Indemnified Losses incurred by or imposed on any of them with respect to such Claims, that arise in connection with the Company, its successors, or permitted assigns’ use of any of the Third Party IP in a manner not authorized by this Agreement.
(b)    BP agrees for itself, its successors and permitted assigns, to defend and hold the Company Indemnitees harmless from and against all Claims, and pay Indemnified Losses incurred by or imposed on any them with respect to such Claims, that (i) arise as a result of any breach of this Agreement by BP or any of its Affiliates, or (ii) (provided Company complies with its obligations under this Agreement) are based on an allegation that the possession or use of any Third Party IP by Company, its successors or permitted assigns infringes or constitutes a misappropriation of the Intellectual Property rights or contractual rights of any third party.
5.2
Indemnification Procedures; Determination of Losses; Limitation of Losses.
(a)    A BPWCP Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee (each an “Indemnified Party”) may make a claim for indemnification hereunder by giving written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party. Such notice shall briefly explain the nature of the claim and the parties known to be involved, and shall specify the amount thereof to the extent known by the Indemnified Party. The indemnifying party shall respond to any Indemnified Party that has given a Claim Notice (a “Claim Response”) within 20 Business Days (the “Response Period”) after the date that the Claim Notice is given. Any Claim Notice or Claim Response shall be given in accordance with the notice requirements hereunder, and any Claim Response shall specify whether or not the indemnifying party disputes the claim for indemnification described in the Claim Notice and whether the indemnifying party will defend the Claim specified in such Claim Notice at its own cost and expense. If the indemnifying party fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, the indemnifying party shall be deemed to have disputed the claim for indemnification described in the related Claim Notice and to have elected not to defend any Claim specified in such Claim Notice. The aforesaid election or deemed election by the indemnifying party not to assume the defense of Indemnified Party with respect to any Claim specified in such Claim Notice, however, shall, except as contemplated by the following proviso, be subject to the right of the indemnifying party to subsequently assume the defense of Indemnified Party with respect to any such Claim at any time prior to settlement or final determination thereof; provided that the indemnifying party shall not have the right to so assume the defense of Indemnified Party with respect to any Claim which the indemnifying party has (or is deemed to have) previously elected not to defend to the extent that Indemnified Party would be materially prejudiced as a result of such assumption.



(b)    The Losses giving rise to any indemnification obligation hereunder shall be limited to the actual loss incurred by Indemnified Party (i.e., reduced by any Tax benefit afforded to Indemnified Party and insurance proceeds or other payment or recoupment payable to Indemnified Party as a result of the events giving rise to the claim for indemnification). Upon the request of the indemnifying party, Indemnified Party shall provide the indemnifying party with information sufficient to allow the indemnifying party to calculate the amount of the indemnity payment in accordance with this Section 5.2(b). An Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate damages in respect of any claim for which it is seeking indemnification and shall use Reasonable Efforts to avoid any costs or expenses associated with such claim and, if such costs and expenses cannot be avoided, to minimize the amount thereof.
(c)    NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER BPWCP NOR THE COMPANY SHALL BE LIABLE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LAW, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONTINGENT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES (INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF LOST PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITIES OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE).
5.3
Disclaimer and Release.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE PSA: THE BPWCP INDEMNIFIED PARTIES MAKE NO (AND DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR MERCHANTABILITY.

the other Party (the “Recipient”) in the course of or in connection with this Agreement. Each Recipient shall hold the Business Information of the Discloser, and will cause its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors, assigns, accountants, and advisors to hold, in confidence, and not use or disclose such Business Information, except as reasonably required for the purposes of this Agreement or otherwise expressly permitted hereunder.

6.2    Length of Confidentiality Obligation.
