  (A)   provide first class human resource management and administration to Dana’s current and former employees, managers and business partners;

Page 1


 

*** indicates where a confidential portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission
  (B)   deliver economic value to Dana through innovative, efficient and effective service delivery;
 
  (C)   achieve cost reductions with respect to Dana’s human resource operations through process transformation and standardization;
 
  (D)   provide human resource management and administration services that enable Dana to attract, develop and retain best talent;
 
  (E)   deliver services at a cost, for a price, and at a standard that is competitive with other providers of human resource management and administration services in the market;
 
  (F)   provide service that is customer-focused and reflects Dana’s business imperatives;
 
  (G)   allow Dana to acquire services with flexibility that is consistent with Dana’s changing business needs while minimizing the operational risk to which Dana and Service Provider are exposed;
 
  (H)   proactively work to reduce human resource management and administration costs and increase efficiency; and
 
  (I)   ensure a smooth, efficient and timely transition from Dana’s internal Human Resources Department without materially disrupting Dana’s business operations.

If Dana does not elect to extend this Agreement under this Section, then this Agreement will expire at the end of the Initial Term.
2.3   Second Extension Period. Six months before the end of the First Extension Period, Service Provider will present Dana with a written proposal setting forth terms and conditions on which Service Provider proposes to continue providing the Services for an additional period. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the terms and conditions for the renewal of this Agreement after the First Extension Period, Dana may, by notifying Service Provider in writing no later than 30 days before the end of the First Extension Period, elect to extend the effectiveness of this Agreement, for a period of time designated by Dana that will not exceed twelve months from the end of the First Extension Period (such period, together with the First Extension Period, the “Extension Periods”), which renewal will be at the then current terms and conditions, including pricing. If Dana does not elect to extend this Agreement under this Section, then this Agreement will expire at the end of the First Extension Period.
2.4   Term. The “Term” of this Agreement consists of the Initial Term and all Extension Periods. The Termination Assistance Period may extend beyond the Term as set forth in Article 27.
ARTICLE 3. SERVICES GENERALLY
3.1   Scope of Services. Service Provider will provide the following services to the Dana Group Companies, as the Dana Group Companies may evolve during the Term and as such services may be supplemented, enhanced, modified or replaced (collectively, the “Services”):
  (A)   the human resource management and administration services, functions and responsibilities set forth in this Agreement, in Schedule 2 (Statement of Work), as complemented by the Base Case defined therein, and in the other Schedules to this Agreement;
 
  (B)   services, functions and responsibilities reasonably related to the Services identified in subsection (A) above and routinely performed by the Affected Employees and any other Dana personnel and contractors who are transitioned to Service Provider, displaced or whose functions were displaced as a result of this Agreement, even if not specifically described in this Agreement;
  (C)   human resource management and administration services, functions and responsibilities that are of a nature and type that, within a company in the automotive industry, would ordinarily be performed by the organization or the

Page 3


 

*** indicates where a confidential portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission
      part of the organization performing services similar to those specifically described in this Agreement, even if not specifically described in this Agreement;
  (D)   Transformation Services;
 
  (E)   services, functions and responsibilities identified in Work Orders adopted by the Parties for Projects undertaken under this Agreement;
 
  (F)   New Services upon Dana’s approval of Service Provider’s New Services Schedule;
 
  (G)   Technology Evolution;
 
  (H)   Termination Assistance Services; and
 
  (I)   services, functions and responsibilities not specifically described in this Agreement, the Schedules, any New Service Schedule or any Work Order, but that are required for the proper performance and delivery, or are an inherent part, of the services, functions or responsibilities specifically described in such documents.
3.2   Dana Group.
  (A)   Service Provider will provide the Services to (1) Dana and any other member of the Dana Group Companies designated by Dana, irrespective of Dana’s corporate structure and (2) any New Entity as directed by Dana under subsection (B) of this Section. Service Provider will provide the Services to such authorized users at the sites at which such entities operate as of the Effective Date and any additional sites that Dana may request during the Term. Fees for Services at any such new sites will be as set forth in Schedule 6 (Fees), unless a material cost differential justifies specific alternative rates or charges.
 
  (B)   If as a result of a Restructure or otherwise an entity that is not a Dana Group Company (a “New Entity”) is acquired by Dana or acquires or becomes responsible for some of the business, assets, operations or management of a Dana Group Company, then, at Dana’s discretion and in accordance with its directions, Service Provider will provide the Services to the New Entity. In such directions, Dana may require Service Provider to provide the Services to a New Entity under this Agreement or, provided that the party to such separate agreement with Service Provider is a creditworthy entity, under a separate agreement on the same terms. A party will be a creditworthy entity if such party meets Service Provider’s then current generally applicable requirements for outsourcing customer credit worthiness or if such party’s credit rating is substantially comparable with or better than Dana’s credit rating as of the Effective Date. If the Services are provided under a separate agreement, Dana will have no obligation to pay, or guarantee the payment of, any fees in relation to those Services provided to the New Entity. The Services provided to the Dana Group Companies or any New Entity under a separate agreement will be included in the calculation of actual

Page 4


 

*** indicates where a confidential portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission
      service volumes, if any, under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Dana has no obligation to obtain Services from Service Provider with respect to any New Entity.
  (C)   If a Restructure includes the divestiture of an entity, a business unit or assets of Dana, Service Provider will, at Dana’s request, for a period of up to 18 months from the effective date of such Restructure, continue to provide the Services to such divested entity or business unit, or to the purchaser of such assets, at the applicable Fees then in effect; provided that Dana or the entity, unit or purchaser agrees to be responsible for the payment of such Fees. If Service Provider is requested to continue to provide the Services pursuant the foregoing sentence, Service Provider will, at Dana’s request, enter into good faith negotiations with such entity, unit or purchaser with respect to an agreement regarding the payment of such Fees
 
  (D)   Service Provider will, at no additional cost to Dana (to the extent such assistance and information can be provided using the personnel resources Service Provider is then using to provide the Services without adversely affecting its ability to provide the Services and meet the Service Levels), provide to Dana all reasonable assistance and information as may be necessary, in the opinion of Dana, where Dana indicates that it is considering or intends a Restructure, including:
  (1)   responding promptly to requests for information relating to the Services and Fees for the Services;
 
  (2)   if requested by Dana, assisting in discussions with third parties relating to any equipment, licenses or contracts relevant to the proposed New Entity;
 
  (3)   providing acquisition support (including assessments, transition planning and migration support);
 
  (4)   cooperating in good faith with Dana in relation to the Restructure;
 
  (5)   providing any Termination Assistance Services that may be necessary in the circumstances in accordance with Article 27; and

If the Force Majeure Event or disaster continues to prevent, hinder or delay performance of the Services for more than 14 calendar days after the inception of the Force Majeure Event or disaster or, if a different time period is specified for Service reinstatement in Schedule 20 (Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Requirements), such time period, Dana may at its sole discretion, effective as of a date specified by Dana in a termination notice to Service Provider, without observing the cure period required by Section 25.4, (1) terminate any portion of this Agreement affected by the nonperformance and the Fees will be equitably adjusted or (2) terminate the entire Agreement without liability to Dana except as set forth in Schedule 6 (Fees); provided that, if Service Provider succeeds in reinstating the Services, Dana must exercise such termination rights within 30 days after such reinstatement.
13.4   No Payment for Unperformed Services.

respect to the hindered task unless and until the Dana Relationship Manager (or other relevant Dana team member identified in Schedule 4 (Governance)) has been notified of such failure to perform.
  (B)   Dana’s failure to perform any of its stated operational responsibilities or provide any Dana Resources will not constitute a breach of this Agreement or give rise to any right to terminate this Agreement. If Dana fails to fulfill any of the responsibilities set forth in Schedule 8 (Dana Operational Responsibilities and Resources) or provide any Dana Resources, Service Provider will be excused from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement adversely affected by such failure to the extent and only for so long as Dana’s failure is the direct cause of Service Provider’s non-performance, but only:
  (1)   if Service Provider promptly notifies the Dana Relationship Manager of Dana’s failure and if, after notifying the Dana Relationship Manager, Dana fails to promptly rectify the failure; and

***   indicates where a confidential portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission
at its sole cost and expenses cooperate fully with the Benchmarker and provide the data requested by the Benchmarker relating to the provision of the Services. Only Dana may exercise a right to conduct a Benchmark.

If a virus or similar item is found to have been introduced into the Dana Software, the Retained Systems, the Work Product or the Service Provider Systems, Service Provider will assist Dana in reducing the effects of the virus or similar item and, if the virus or similar item causes a loss of operational efficiency or loss of data or creates a security risk, will assist Dana to the same extent to mitigate and restore such losses and mitigate such risk.
 
  (G)   Without the consent of Dana, Service Provider will not insert into (1) the Dana Software or the Retained Systems, (2) the Work Product, (3) the Service Provider Software or the Service Provider Tools that Dana has the right to access or Use or (4) the Software or Tools used to provide the Services any code that would have the effect of disabling or otherwise shutting down all or any portion of the Services, any such Software or Tools or the Retained Systems.
 
  (H)   With respect to any disabling code that may be part of (a) the Service Provider Software or the Service Provider Tools that Dana has the right to access or Use or (b) the Software or Tools used to provide the Services, Service Provider will not

***   indicates where a confidential portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission
    Default Cure Period or (3) commits numerous breaches of its duties or obligations under this Agreement that in the aggregate are material, then Dana may, by giving notice to Service Provider, terminate this entire Agreement or the Services affected by the breach effective as of the termination date specified in the notice of termination.

25.11   Other Terminations. In addition to the provisions of this Article, this Agreement or the applicable portions of the Services under this Agreement may be terminated as provided in Section 13.3, Section 15.11 and subsection (B) of Section 24.2.
ARTICLE 26. TERMINATION FEES
26.1   Termination Fees. If Dana terminates this Agreement, Service Provider will be entitled to such fee (“Termination Fee”) as determined in accordance with Schedule 6 (Fees). Except for the Termination Fee or as set forth in Schedule 6 (Fees), no fee or other compensation will be payable by Dana in connection with any expiration or termination of this Agreement (in its entirety or as to selected Services), any change in Service volumes under Section 3.3 or any insourcing or resourcing of Services under Section 3.5.
ARTICLE 27. TERMINATION ASSISTANCE
27.1   Termination Assistance Services.
  (A)   No less than 30 days prior to each Transformation Milestone, Service Provider will provide to Dana for its approval a draft plan for the disengagement and transfer of that Transformation Milestone upon the expiration, termination, insourcing or resourcing of such Services (including any terminations resulting from the Dana’s divestiture of an entity, business unit or assets), (collectively, the “Disengagement Plan”). Once approved, the document will be the Disengagement Plan for such Services. The Disengagement Plan will, as reasonably foreseeable:
  (1)   specify Key Personnel and other resources that will be used to perform Termination Assistance Services;
 
  (2)   provide an estimate of incremental Fees for the additional resources required to provide the Termination Assistance Services;
 
  (3)   specify substantially all activities necessary to carry out the Termination Assistance Services as efficiently as reasonably possible;
 
  (4)   specify such training and documentation reasonably required for Dana to understand and operate the Software and Tools used by Service Provider to provide the Services, including (a) configuration data for such Software and Tools and (b) scripts and customizations of such Software and Tools; and

Page 50


 

 
***   indicates where a confidential portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission
  (5)   set out a timetable and process for effecting Termination Assistance Services that will enable Dana to have completed disengagement as quickly as reasonably possible without materially disrupting the quality of the Services and without limiting Service Provider’s obligation to meet the Service Levels during the Termination Assistance Period.
  (B)   Service Provider will keep the Disengagement Plan up to date during the Term by updating the Disengagement Plan, from time to time, as necessary to take into account changes to the Services and New Services and submitting such updates to Dana for approval. Upon approval such updates will be incorporated into the Disengagement Plan.
 
  (C)   Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or Service Provider ceasing to provide the Services for any reason, or the insourcing or resourcing of Services under this Agreement, Service Provider will provide the Termination Assistance Services in accordance with the Disengagement Plan. Termination Assistance Services constituting the continuance of existing Services that do not specifically relate to such expiration, termination, insourcing or resourcing will be performed during the Termination Assistance Period at the same rates as during the Term. Termination Assistance Services that relate specifically to the expiration, termination, insourcing or resourcing, and that cannot be provided by Key Personnel or other existing resources without unreasonably risking, in Dana’s opinion, adverse impact to Service Provider’s ability to provide the Services, will be provided at the applicable rates set forth therefor in Schedule 6 (Fees) or, if the applicable rates are not set forth in Schedule 6 (Fees), at Service Provider’s rates in effect for such services immediately before the expiration, termination, insourcing or resourcing. Dana’s determination to accept risks of adverse impact will relieve Service Provider from any consequences of such adverse impact.
 
  (D)   The quality and level of performance of the applicable Services during the Termination Assistance Period will not be degraded as compared to the quality and level of performance of such Services before such Termination Assistance Period. Without limiting the foregoing, during the Termination Assistance Period, Service Provider will (1) provide to Dana and potential successors designated by Dana such information as Dana may reasonably request relating to the number and respective functions of the members of the Project Staff performing Services, (2) not make any material changes to the level of Service and (3) not reassign Service Provider’s employees or contractors away from performance of functions under this Agreement (until Dana has had an opportunity to meet with and attempt to hire such personnel as described in Section 27.3 and except to the extent otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in order to mitigate Termination Fees).
 
  (E)   After the expiration of the Termination Assistance Period, Service Provider will (1) answer questions from Dana regarding the terminated, insourced or resourced Services on an “as needed” basis at Service Provider’s then-standard billing rates and (2) deliver to Dana any remaining Dana-owned reports and documentation

Page 51


 

 
***   indicates where a confidential portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission
      relating to the terminated, insourced or resourced services still in Service Provider’s possession.
27.2   Exit Rights. Upon the later of (A) the expiration or termination of this Agreement and (B) the last day of any Termination Assistance Period (the “End Date”):
  (A)   The rights granted to Service Provider and Service Provider Agents in Section 20.1 will immediately terminate and Service Provider will, and, to the extent Dana does not possess a current copy of the Dana Software, will cause Service Provider Agents to (1) deliver to Dana, at no cost to Dana, a current copy of the Dana Software in the form in use as of the End Date and (ii) destroy or erase all other copies of the Dana Software in Service Provider’s or Service Provider Agents’ possession. Service Provider will, upon Dana’s request, certify to Dana that all such copies have been destroyed or erased.
 
  (B)   Upon Dana’s request, Service Provider will sell to Dana or its designee, free and clear of all liens, security interests or other encumbrances, at the then current fair market value any Equipment owned by Service Provider and being used by Service Provider or Service Provider Agents primarily to perform the Services as of the End Date.
 
  (C)   Service Provider will, and will cause Service Provider Agents to, deliver to Dana a copy of all Work Product, in the form in use as of the End Date.

  (E)   As to Service Provider Software and Service Provider Tools to be licensed to Dana as provided in subsections (C) and (D) of Section 20.2, Service Provider will deliver to Dana a copy of the Service Provider Software and Service Provider Tools, in the form in use as of the End Date.
27.3   Right to Hire Project Staff.
  (A)   Upon the delivery of a notice of intent to terminate or not renew this Agreement, or upon an insourcing of part of the Services, as to the then current members of the Project Staff providing the affected Services under this Agreement (each an “Affected Project Staff Member”), Service Provider will, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, (1) provide Dana with the name of each Affected Project Staff Member and a description of job responsibilities, (2) provide Dana and its designees, at their option, reasonable access, in a manner agreed upon by

Page 52


 

 
***   indicates where a confidential portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission
      the Parties to minimize any interference with Service Provider’s ability to provide the Services and conduct its business, to such Affected Project Staff Members and (3) allow Dana to meet with, solicit and hire, in a manner agreed upon by the Parties to minimize any interference with Service Provider’s ability to conduct its business, such Affected Project Staff Members as of the End Date.
 
  (B)   Service Provider will waive any restrictions that may prevent any Affected Project Staff Member from being hired by Dana or its designees under this Section.
27.4   Termination Assistance upon Change in Services Volumes or Insourcing or Resourcing. If there is (1) a change in Service volumes under Section 3.3, (2) an insourcing or resourcing under Section 3.5, (3) any termination of Services under this Agreement under subsection (D) of Section 6.7, (4) any termination of Services under this Agreement under Section 13.3 or (5) any termination of Services under this Agreement under subsection (B) of Section 24.2, then Section 27.2 and Section 27.3 will apply only in relation to those resources and other items referred to in Section 27.2 (“Affected Resources”), and those Affected Project Staff Members, that are associated with the Services to be changed, insourced, resourced or terminated. As soon as practicable after Dana exercises any such right, Service Provider will notify Dana if any such Affected Resources, or any such Affected Project Staff Members, are necessary for the provision of the remaining Services and cannot be duplicated; whereupon Dana and Service Provider will agree upon an appropriate allocation of such Affected Resources and Affected Project Staff Members.
27.5   Injunctive Relief. Without limiting the foregoing, Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that Dana may be irreparably harmed if Service Provider were to fail or threaten not to provide Dana with Termination Assistance Services, and that Dana may proceed directly to court in any such case without observing any cure period otherwise applicable under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 28. INDEMNITIES
