SECTION 12 TAX MATTERS

12.1 Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer, Seller Parties and Seller for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:

(i) Indemnification. Seller Parties and Seller, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from and against all Taxes of Seller Parties and Seller, including without limitation (i) payroll Taxes, withholding Taxes and any other similar Taxes, (ii) income Taxes, (iii) Seller Parties’ sales Taxes, use Taxes, value-added Taxes and other transfer Taxes (including recording Taxes, stamp Taxes and any similar Taxes arising from the transfer of tangible, intangible or real property or interests therein), as determined under Section 12.1(c), that become due and payable as a result of the sale, transfer and delivery of the Assets, (iv) all Taxes of any other Person for which Seller Parties has Liability under Treas. Reg. 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law), as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise, and (v) Seller Parties’ Taxes, as determined under Section 12.1(b), assessed against any of the Assets based on the value of such Assets.

(ii) Apportionment of Taxes. If, prior to the Closing, there have been any Taxes (based on the value) assessed against any of the Assets, Seller Parties will pay those Taxes attributable to periods or partial periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer will pay those Taxes attributable to periods or partial periods beginning after the Closing Date, with a daily allocation for any period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date. Each party agrees to cooperate with each other party in paying or reimbursing Tax obligations in accordance with this Section 12.1(b).

Buyer and Seller Parties further agree to deliver all certificates reasonably requested by the other to verify the fact of such electronic transmissions or other actions.

 

31


(iv) Purchase Price Allocation. The parties hereto shall allocate the Purchase Price (plus the portion of the Assumed Liabilities and other relevant items which are treated as purchase price for federal income Tax purposes) among the Assets in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Price Allocation”). Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide Stockholder with a statement (the “Price Allocation Statement”) containing Buyer’s proposed Price Allocation. If Stockholder does not notify Buyer of an objection to Buyer’s proposed Price Allocation as unreasonable within twenty (20) days after delivery thereof, Buyer’s proposed Price Allocation shall be deemed the “Final Price Allocation”. If within twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Price Allocation Statement, Stockholder notifies Buyer in writing that Stockholder objects to Buyer’s proposed Price Allocation contained in the Price Allocation Statement as unreasonable, Buyer and Stockholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) days of Stockholder’s written notification, and the Price Allocation agreed to by Buyer and Stockholder shall be deemed the Final Price Allocation. In the event that Buyer and Stockholder are unable to resolve such dispute within that twenty (20) day period, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 12.1(f); provided, that the fees and disbursements of such third party shall be borne by the parties hereto in proportion to the amounts by which their proposals differ from the final determination of the Independent Accountants. The Final Price Allocation shall be adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect any payments made pursuant to this Agreement after the Closing Date. Each of Buyer and Stockholder shall timely file an IRS Form 8594 reflecting the Price Allocation for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date and make any timely filing required by applicable state or local laws. Neither Buyer nor Stockholder shall take any position or permit any of its Affiliates to take any position inconsistent with the Final Price Allocation in the preparation of financial statements, the filing of any Tax Returns or in the course of any audit by any Taxing Authority, Tax review or Tax proceeding relating to any Tax Returns, unless in each case otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Code Section 1313(a).

(v) Cooperation. Buyer, Stockholder and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with any audit, litigation or other Tax proceeding with respect to Taxes attributable to periods or partial periods beginning after the Closing Date. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other Tax proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer, Stockholder and Seller agree: (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Seller Parties relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer, Stockholder or Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority; and (ii) to give the other parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Buyer, Stockholder or Seller, as the case may be, shall allow such party to take possession of such books and records. Buyer, Stockholder and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person (other than customers) as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(vi) Disputes. Any dispute as to any matter covered under this Section 12 shall be shall be submitted for resolution to the office of a mutually acceptable, impartial and nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than Seller Parties’ accountants or Buyer’s accountants

 

32


(the “Independent Accountants”). The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be borne equally by Seller Parties, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand. If any dispute with respect to a Tax Return is not resolved prior to the due date of such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed in the manner which the party responsible for preparing such Tax Return deems correct.

(vii) Conflict. In the event of a conflict or any overlap between the provisions of this Section 12, on the one hand, and the provisions of Section 13, on the other, the provisions of this Section 12 shall control. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the limitations in Section 13 shall apply to any claim for indemnification under this Section 12.

SECTION 13 INDEMNIFICATION.

13.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each representation and warranty of the parties contained herein and any certificate related to such representations and warranties will survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for twenty-four (24) months thereafter, except (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6.7 (Assets Generally) and 6.11 (Taxes) will continue in full force and effect until, and all claims for indemnification in connection therewith must be asserted not later than, sixty (60) days following expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1 (Organization, Good Standing, Corporate Power and Qualification), 5.2 (Due Authorization, Binding Effect), 5.3 (No Conflicts), 5.6 (No Finder’s Fee), 6.1 (Organization, Good Standing, Corporate Power and Qualification), 6.2 (Due Authorization, Binding Effect), 6.3 (No Conflicts), 6.6 (Intellectual Property), 6.13 (Financial Matters) and 6.15 (No Finder’s Fee) will continue in full force and effect forever (the representations and warranties referenced in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being referred to as the “Fundamental Representations”). Each covenant and obligation in this Agreement and any certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing for the thirty (30) days following the applicable statute of limitations unless expressly limited to a certain period. Unless expressly waived pursuant to this Agreement, no representation, warranty, covenant, right or remedy available to any person in connection with the Transaction will be deemed waived by any action or inaction of that person (including consummation of the Transactions, any inspection or investigation, or the awareness of any fact or matter) at any time, whether before, on or after the Closing.

13.2 Indemnification Provisions for Buyer’s Benefit. The Seller Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, Representatives, controlling persons, stockholders and similarly situated persons, harmless from and pay any and all Damages resulting from, relating to, arising out of or attributable to any of the following: (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by either Seller Party in this Agreement; (b) any breach, violation or default by any Seller Party of any obligation or covenant of such Seller Party in this Agreement; (c) the operation and ownership of, or conditions first occurring with respect to, the Business or the Assets prior to 12:01 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the Closing Date (other than the Assumed Liabilities relating thereto); and (d) any Excluded Assets or any Excluded Liabilities.

13.3 Indemnification Provisions for the Seller Parties’ Benefit.

33


13.4 Indemnification Claim Procedures. If any Action is commenced or threatened that may give rise to a claim for indemnification (an “Indemnification Claim”) by any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any Person obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party (an “Indemnitor”), then such Indemnified Party will promptly give notice to the Indemnitor. Failure to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent the Indemnitor’s ability to remedy, contest, defend or settle such Indemnification Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice. The Indemnitor will not approve of the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written approval (which must not be withheld or delayed unreasonably). Until an Indemnitor assumes the defense of the Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against the Indemnification Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party reasonably deems appropriate. If the Indemnified Party gives an Indemnitor notice of an Indemnification Claim and the Indemnitor does not, within twenty (20) days after such notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Indemnification Claim and thereafter promptly assume such defense, then the Indemnified Party can defend such Indemnification Claim with the costs to be paid by the Indemnitor in accordance with this Section 13 Upon receipt of the Indemnification Claim, the Indemnitor will have the right to defend such Indemnification Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Indemnification Claim that the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any indemnifiable Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Indemnification Claim, (ii) the Indemnitor provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Indemnification Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Indemnification Claim involves only money Damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Indemnification Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnitor conducts the defense of the Indemnification Claim actively and diligently.

13.5 Limitations on Indemnification Liability. Any claims an Indemnified Party makes under this ARTICLE 5 will be limited as follows.

(i) Cap on Damages. Subject to Section 13.5(c), the aggregate Liability for money Damages of Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller Parties, on the other hand, under this Agreement related to breaches of the representations and warranties herein will not exceed an amount equal to the Closing Date Payment other than due to fraud.

(ii) Basket. Subject to Section 13.5(c), neither Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller Parties, on the other hand, will have any Liability to the other under this Agreement for Damages resulting from indemnification claims brought under Section 13.2 and 13.3, respectively, unless and until the aggregate Liability of all claims properly made exceeds $25,000 (the “Basket”), in which case, the Indemnitor will be liable for Damages resulting from such claims in excess of the Basket and up to an aggregate amount equal to the Closing Date Payment.

(iii) Exclusion from Limitations. The limitations contemplated by Section 13.5(a) and 13.5(b) will not be applicable with respect to (i) breaches of the Fundamental Representations or Section 8, for which the aggregate Liability for money Damages of Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller Parties, on the other hand, under this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price, and (ii) instances of fraud as to any fact represented in the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, as modified by the Seller Disclosure Schedules.

 

34


(iv) Method of Determination. For purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Sections 5 or 6 (with respect to Seller Parties) or Section 7 (with respect to Buyer) and the amount of any Damages that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification hereunder for breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Sections 5, 6 or 7, each representation and warranty contained in Sections 5, 6 or 7 shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any terms such as “material” or “materially”, any clause or phrase containing “material,” “materially,” “material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect,” “except where the failure to … has not and would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect” or “which have not and would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect” or any similar terms, clauses or phrases contained in such representation or warranty (as if such word or clause, as applicable, were deleted from such representation and warranty).

13.6 Other Indemnification Matters. All indemnification payments under this Section 13 will be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price. With respect to any Action seeking Damages for an Indemnification Claim, the prevailing party shall be entitled to collect from the other party all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party related to such Action. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any limit or restriction on any rights or remedies set forth in this Agreement limit or restrict the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Party for fraud by a party hereto relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Transaction contemplated hereby. In the event of any breach of a representation or warranty by a party hereto that constitutes fraud, the representation or warranty shall survive consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and continue in full force and effect without any time limitation.

13.7 Set-Off. In addition to any other remedies, Buyer shall have the option, but not the obligation, to set-off or recoup any amounts due to Buyer from the Seller Parties pursuant to this Section 13 against any amount otherwise payable by Buyer to the Seller Parties, including against the Deferred Payment, resulting in a corresponding reduction of the amount owed by Buyer to the Seller Parties under the Promissory Note.

13.8 Indemnification for Non-Compliance with Bulk Sales Statute. Each party acknowledges that the other parties will not comply with any bulk transfer Laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the Transaction. The Seller Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify Buyer for any Damages resulting from or relating to such non-compliance and Section 13.5 will not apply to Damages incurred as a result thereof.

3. Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims relating to or arising out of the relationship of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, shall be governed by, construed under and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Any action, suit or other Proceeding, at law or in equity, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any agreements or transactions contemplated hereby shall only be brought in any federal court in the State of Delaware, and in the event it may not be brought in federal court, shall be brought in any state court in the

Article 11. Miscellaneous.

11.1 Effect of Licensor Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted by Licensor under this Agreement are and shall be deemed to be rights and licenses to “intellectual property,” and the subject matter of this agreement, including all Software, Source Code and Documentation is and shall be deemed to be “embodiments” of “intellectual property”, for purposes of and as such terms are used in and interpreted under section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”) (11 U.S.C. § 365(n)).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensor acknowledges and agrees that, if Licensor or its estate shall become subject to any bankruptcy or similar proceeding:

(a) subject to Licensee’s rights of election, all rights and licenses granted to Licensee under this Agreement will continue subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and will not be affected, even by Licensor’s rejection of this Agreement; and

(b) Licensee shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) all such intellectual property and embodiments of intellectual property, and the same, if not already in Licensee’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to Licensee, unless Licensor elects to and does in fact continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement.

11.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the attachments that are attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between Licensee and Licensor with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

11.3 Independent Contractors. The parties acknowledge and agree that they are dealing with each other hereunder as independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted as constituting either party as the joint venturer, agent, franchisee, employee or partner of the other party or as conferring upon either party the power of authority to bind the other party in any transaction with third parties.

11.4 Amendments; Attachments. No amendment, change, waiver or discharge hereof shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the authorized representative of both parties. All attachments hereto are incorporated herein by this reference.

A Maintenance Page will not be displayed in the case of any Severity Level “3-Medium” or “4-Low” Service Interruptions.

The Buyer and the Seller are referred to herein as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms set forth herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller Parties have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 24, 2015 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), and the execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to consummating the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement;

WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer and Seller Parties desire that the Seller provide certain transition services relating to the Business as set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties recognize that in the transition process the performance of Seller will be dependent, in part, on the performance of the Buyer and certain external parties such as governmental agencies, vendors and others;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. TRANSITION SERVICES.

(a) During the term of this Agreement as set forth in Section 8 (the “Transition Period”), and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Providing Party (defined below) shall provide to the Receiving Party, on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, the services specified on Annex A hereto (each of the categories described on Annex A, a “Service” and, collectively, the “Services”) from the Closing Date and for the periods after the Closing Date with respect to each such Service as set forth in Annex A, which shall be provided in a manner consistent in all material respects with that provided by Seller or one or more of its Affiliates to the Business immediately prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall purchase and pay for such Services pursuant to this Section 1(a) as provided for herein. The Services provided by Seller hereunder shall only be made available for, and Buyer shall only be entitled to utilize such Services for, the benefit of the Business.

(b) The fees payable for each Service shall be as set forth on Annex A; provided, however, that in the event any fees for Services are not set forth on Annex A, such Services shall be provided on a Cost Recovery Basis, which shall include all expenses, costs, fees, penalties and assessments from the provision of such Services. As used herein, “Cost Recovery Basis” means the aggregate sum (such aggregate sum as determined and calculated by the Providing Party in its reasonable discretion) of all expenses, costs, fees, penalties and assessments resulting from the provision of Services to the Receiving Party by the Providing Party (other than such expenses, costs, fees, penalties and assessments resulting from a breach of (a) this Agreement or any other agreement related to the Services or (b) applicable Legal Requirements, in each case, by the Providing Party), and charges on a “fully loaded basis” directly incurred in connection with performing the Services, including, but not limited to (i)


variable and fixed expenses and (ii) any goods and services taxes payable with respect to the applicable Services provided. The Parties acknowledge that some of the Services that may be provided hereunder require instructions and information from the Party receiving such Services (the “Receiving Party”), which shall be provided in sufficient time for the Party providing such Services (the “Providing Party”) or its Affiliates to provide or procure such Services. The Receiving Party shall pay any additional costs or expenses resulting from any failure of the Receiving Party to provide such instructions or information.

(c) The Parties shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any licensors of Software or any other third party that may be required in connection with the provision of any of the Services hereunder; provided, however, that the Providing Party shall have no obligation to pay money or grant any accommodation to any third party in order to obtain any such consents, except to the extent the Receiving Party agrees to reimburse the Providing Party for any such payment made by the Providing Party at the request of the Receiving Party. If any such third party requires a payment in order to make the Services available to the Receiving Party hereunder, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of this additional cost and the Parties shall use all reasonable best efforts to provide an alternative arrangement to achieve the results intended (and the Parties shall cooperate with respect thereto). In any such case, the Receiving Party shall have the option to elect (i) to pay any amounts that are required to be paid to any third party to obtain the consent of such third party in order to receive the Services hereunder or (ii) to terminate any of the Services associated with the required consent.

(d) The Providing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services in a manner consistent in all material respects with the degree of care, diligence, priority, frequency and volume provided by Seller prior to the Closing Date (unless expressly specified otherwise in Annex A).

2. Representatives. Buyer and Seller shall each designate one representative to act as a contact person with respect to all issues relating to the provision of Services under this Agreement. The initial Buyer representative shall be Vincent Sarrecchia and the initial Seller representative shall be Garett Jackson. Each representative’s contact information is set forth on Annex B hereto.

3. Limitation on Services. Except as set forth on Annex A, the Providing Party shall have no obligation to upgrade, enhance or otherwise modify any computer hardware, Software or network environment currently used in the Business or to provide any support or maintenance services for any computer hardware, Software or network environment that has been upgraded, enhanced or otherwise modified from the computer hardware, Software or network environments that is currently used in the Business.

4. Additional Services. If the Receiving Party reasonably determines that additional transition services (“Additional Services”) are necessary to complete the transition, the Providing Party will consider in good faith providing such services to the Receiving Party. Representatives of the Providing Party and the Receiving Party will meet to discuss the terms and conditions (including cost) upon which such Additional Services will be provided. Any such Additional Services mutually agreed to and the fees thereof shall be effective as of the date of execution of an amendment to this Agreement by duly authorized representatives of the Parties hereto. It is understood and agreed that the Providing Party shall be under no obligation to provide or procure any such Additional Services requested by the Receiving Party.

5. Subcontractors. The Providing Party may, directly or through one or more of its Affiliates, hire or engage (and/or continue to engage) one or more subcontractors or other third parties (each, a “Subcontractor”) to perform any or all of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, that: (i)


the Providing Party remains ultimately responsible for ensuring that the obligations with respect to the nature, quality and standards of care set forth in Section 1 are satisfied with respect to any Service provided by any Subcontractor; (ii) the use of any Subcontractor will not increase any costs, fees or expenses payable by the Receiving Party hereunder; and (iii) the use of any Subcontractor will not adversely affect the quality or timeliness of delivery of any Service provided to the Receiving Party.

6. Title to The Providing Party’s Equipment; Management and Control.

(a) All procedures, methods, systems, strategies, tools, equipment, facilities and other resources owned and used by a Providing Party, any of its Affiliates or any Subcontractor in connection with the provision of Services hereunder (collectively, the “Provider’s Equipment”) shall remain the property of such Providing Party, its Affiliates or such Subcontractor, and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall at all times be under the sole direction and control of such Providing Party, its Affiliates or such Subcontractor.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, management of, and control over, the provision of the Services (including the determination or designation at any time of the Provider’s Equipment, employees and other resources of the Providing Party, its Affiliates or any Subcontractor to be used in connection with the provision of the Services) shall reside solely with such Providing Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all labor matters relating to any employees of the Providing Party, its Affiliates and any Subcontractor shall be within the exclusive control of such parties, and the Receiving Party shall take no action affecting, or have any rights with respect to, such matters. The Providing Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all salary and benefits and all income tax, social security taxes, unemployment compensation, tax, workers’ compensation tax, other employment taxes or withholdings and premiums and remittances with respect to employees of the Providing Party and its Affiliates used to provide such Services.

7. Billing and Payment.

(a) The Receiving Party shall promptly pay any bills and invoices that it receives from the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates for Services provided under this Agreement, subject to receiving, if requested, any appropriate support documentation for such bills and invoices. Such charges shall be billed at the end of each calendar month. Unless otherwise provided herein or on Annex A, the Receiving Party shall pay all invoices by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the instructions provided by the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates (in writing to the Receiving Party), as applicable, not later than thirty (30) days following receipt by the Receiving Party of an invoice from the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates. The Receiving Party shall not offset any amounts owing to it by the Providing Party or any of the Providing Party’s Affiliates against amounts payable by the Receiving Party hereunder or under any other agreement or arrangement. Should the Receiving Party dispute any portion of any invoice, the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Providing Party in writing of the nature and basis of the dispute.

(b) All charges and fees to be paid by the Receiving Party to the Providing Party and its Affiliates under this Agreement are exclusive of any applicable taxes required by law to be collected from the Receiving Party (including withholding, sales, use, excise or services taxes, which may be assessed on the provision of the Services hereunder). If a withholding, sales, use, excise or services tax is assessed on the provision of any of the Services provided under this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall pay directly, reimburse or indemnify the Providing Party and its Affiliates for such tax. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in determining the extent to which any tax is due and owing under the circumstances, and shall provide and make available to each other any resale certificate, information regarding out-of-state use of materials, services or sale, and other exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by the other Party.


8. Term of Agreement; Termination.

(a) Unless earlier terminated under the terms hereof or extended in accordance with this Section 8(a) or by written agreement of the Parties hereto, this Agreement will expire with respect to each Service on the date on which the Receiving Party commences such Service (or a substitute therefore) on its own behalf (the “Transition Date”), which shall be a date no later than the date on which the maximum duration specified in the Annex A for such Service has expired, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in writing. Neither the Providing Party nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to provide Services on behalf of the Receiving Party following the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement or any particular Service.

(b) Upon the occurrence of the final Transition Date (whether by actual transfer of relevant Services to the Receiving Party or its agent or expiration of the maximum duration specified for such Service) for the last remaining Service to be provided hereunder, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.

(c) The Providing Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to one or more Services immediately upon notice to the Receiving Party in the event of the failure of the Receiving Party to make undisputed payments within fifteen (15) days of when due provided that such termination shall be limited solely to the portion of the individual Service affected by such non-payment.

(d) Either the Receiving Party or the Providing Party may terminate this Agreement in whole (except as set forth below) or with respect to one or more Services immediately upon notice to the other Party:

(i) if the other Party files a petition of bankruptcy or the equivalent thereof or is the subject of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing date thereof, or is or becomes insolvent, or admits of a general inability to pay its debts as they become due (except where the Party in question is still able to pay fees due under this Agreement as they become due); or

(ii) upon the material breach of this Agreement by another Party where such breach is not remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Party wishing to terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof has been given by such Party; or

(iii) upon the material breach by the other Party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under the Asset Purchase Agreement, and the failure to cure such breach prior to the expiration of the applicable cure period set forth therein, if any.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Receiving Party shall remain liable for the payment of fees and expenses accruing for the period prior to termination even though such fees may not become due until after termination. Further, in the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8, Sections 6(a), 7(a), 8, 9, 13, 14, 16, and 19 through 25 shall continue in full force and effect.

(f) Provided that the Receiving Party has met and continues to meet its obligations set forth in Section 7, prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Providing Party shall cooperate with the Receiving Party as reasonably requested by the Receiving Party to effect an orderly transition of the


Services provided hereunder and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Receiving Party to complete the transition as promptly as practicable. In addition, the Providing Party will facilitate and support the Receiving Party in the conversion of all necessary systems from the Providing Party’s systems to the Receiving Party’s systems, including support of the mapping and transferring of files. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith and to use their commercially reasonable efforts to mutually develop a conversion plan to effect the orderly transition of the Services from the Providing Party’s systems to the Receiving Party’s systems. In connection therewith, the Parties will in good faith consider modifications to the initial service periods. The Receiving Party agrees to pay the Providing Party for such conversion services on the basis of the Providing Party’s direct costs, administrative support costs and costs associated with special requests.

9. Partial Termination. Subject to Section 8(f), the Receiving Party may terminate any or all of the Services at any time prior to the expiration of the period specified on Annex A (including any renewal period) upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Providing Party. As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of any such notice, the Providing Party shall advise the Receiving Party in writing as to whether termination of such Services shall reasonably require the termination or partial termination of, or otherwise affect the provision of, any other Services. If such is the case, the Receiving Party may withdraw its termination notice in writing within five (5) days of being so advised by the Providing Party. Otherwise, such termination shall be final.

10. Personnel.

(a) From the Closing Date until the termination of this Agreement, each Party shall employ or retain all employees and other personnel and resources necessary, as determined by the Providing Party in its sole discretion, to enable it to perform the Services and its other obligations hereunder; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 10 shall limit the standards of performance required under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the requirements set forth in Section 12 of this Agreement.

(b) If the employment of any Transferred Employee or employee of Seller (collectively, the “Service Employees”) who is primarily dedicated to the Services under this Agreement is terminated (each such Service Employee whose employment is so terminated, a “Former Employee”), whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the Party with whom such Former Employee was employed at the time of termination shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such Former Employee with an employee or independent contractor having like competence and qualifications (taking into account the original job description for the relevant position). Nothing herein shall prevent a Party from terminating the employment of any Service Employee.

excluded by agreement of the Parties regardless of whether or not any Party to this Agreement has been advised of the possibility of such damages; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be liable to the Seller Group Members under Section 16(a) above for any such damages, attorney fees, costs or prejudgment interest described in clauses (i) or (ii) above which are incurred, suffered or sustained by or paid to a third party, to the extent the third party claim is indemnifiable under such Section 16(a).

17. Force Majeure. If the Providing Party, any of its Affiliates or any Subcontractor is prevented from or delayed in complying, either totally or in part, with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement by reason of fire, flood, storm, strike, walkout, lockout or other labor trouble or shortage, delays by unaffiliated suppliers or carriers, shortages of fuel, power, raw materials or components, any law, order, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand, seizure or requirement of any governmental authority, riot, civil commotion, war, rebellion, acts of terrorism, nuclear accident or other causes beyond the reasonable control of any such Person or other acts of God, or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental or military authority or the Receiving Party, then upon notice to the Receiving Party, the affected provisions and/or other requirements of this Agreement shall be suspended during the period of such disability and the Providing Party shall have no liability to the Receiving Party, its Affiliates or any other Person in connection therewith. The Providing Party and the Receiving Party shall make commercially reasonable efforts to remove such disability within thirty (30) days after giving notice of such disability; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 17 will be construed to require the settlement of any strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute on terms which, in the reasonable judgment of the Providing Party, are contrary to its interest. It is understood that the settlement of a strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute will be entirely within the discretion of the Providing Party. If the Providing Party is unable to provide any of the Services due to such a disability, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperatively seek a solution that is mutually satisfactory to the other Parties. In addition, upon becoming aware of a disability causing a delay in performance or preventing performance of any obligations of the Providing Party under this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to engage subcontractors to perform such obligations for the duration of the period during which such disability delays or prevents the performance of such obligation by the Providing Party.
