SERVICES

2.1 Services.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent, directly or acting through its Affiliates and/or its or its Affiliates’ respective employees or Third Party Service Providers, agrees to provide or cause to be provided to the Enova Entities the services set forth in Schedule 1 hereto (together with any Additional Services provided pursuant to Section 2.3 are collectively referred to herein as the “Services”).

(b) At all times during the performance of the Services, all Persons performing such Services (including Third Party Service Providers) shall be construed as being independent from the Enova Entities and such Persons shall not be considered or deemed to be an employee of any of the Enova Entities nor entitled to any employee benefits from any of the Enova Entities as a result of this Agreement. Enova acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth herein as a Service (including such agreed Additional Services to be provided pursuant to Section 2.3 below) or otherwise expressly set forth in the Separation Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement, or other binding definitive agreement, Parent shall not be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any service or goods to any of the Enova Entities.

(c) Parent shall not be required to perform Services hereunder that conflict with or violate any applicable law, contract, license, authorization, certification, or permit by which it is bound. Parent will use reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary approvals relating to the Services.

2.2 Service Coordinators. Parent and Enova each agree to appoint one of their respective employees who will have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the delivery of Services, including making available the services of appropriately qualified employees and resources to enable the provision of the Services (each, a “Service Coordinator”). The Service Coordinators will consult and coordinate with each other regarding the provision of Services.

2.3 Additional Services. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, Enova may request additional Services from Parent by providing written notice. Upon the mutual written agreement as to the nature, cost, duration, and scope of such additional Services, Parent and Enova shall supplement in writing this Agreement and Schedule 1 hereto to include such additional Services (such agreed services, the “Additional Services”).

 

- 2 -


2.4 Third Party Services. Parent shall have the right to subcontract with one or more Third Party Service Providers to provide all or part of any Services hereunder so long as such subcontracting is consistent with past practices and the practice applied by Parent generally from time to time within its own organization. If subcontracting for a Service is not consistent with past practices and the practice applied by Parent generally from time to time within its own organization, then Parent shall give Enova written notice of its intent to subcontract such Service and Enova shall have five (5) days to notify Parent in writing as to whether Enova, in its sole discretion, agrees to permit such subcontracting or whether to cancel such Service in accordance with Article VI hereof and any failure of Enova to provide such written notice within such five (5) day period shall be deemed to be Enova’s agreement to permit such subcontracting.

2.5 Standard of Performance; Limitation of Liability.

(a) The Services to be provided hereunder shall be performed with the same general degree of care, at the same general level, and at the same general degree of accuracy and responsiveness, as when performed within the Parent organization prior to the date of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that Parent is not a professional provider of the types of services included in the Services and that Parent personnel performing such Services have other responsibilities, and will not be dedicated full-time to performing the Services.

(b) In the event Parent fails to provide, or cause to be provided, the Services in accordance herewith, the sole and exclusive remedy of Enova shall be to, at Enova’s sole discretion, within ten (10) days from the date that Parent first fails to provide such Service, send written notice of such failure to Parent indicating that Parent should either (i) reperform the Service, or (ii) discontinue such Service; provided, that in the event Parent defaults in the manner described in Article VII, Enova shall have the further rights set forth in Article VII.

(c) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 2.5, NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, IMPLIED, OR EXPRESSED, ARE MADE BY PARENT OR ANY AFFILIATE OF PARENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED AND DISCLAIMED. ENOVA HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT ENOVA OR ANY OF THE ENOVA ENTITIES MAY OTHERWISE HAVE FOR ANY LOSSES, TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, OR TO PURSUE ANY OTHER REMEDY AVAILABLE IN CONTRACT, AT LAW, OR IN EQUITY IN THE EVENT OF ANY NON-PERFORMANCE, INADEQUATE PERFORMANCE, FAULTY PERFORMANCE, OR OTHER FAILURE OR BREACH BY PARENT OR ANY AFFILIATE OF PARENT UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, NOTWITHSTANDING THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT, OR CONCURRENT, OR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OF PARENT, ANY AFFILIATE OF PARENT, OR ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER AND WHETHER DAMAGES ARE ASSERTED IN CONTRACT OR TORT, UNDER FEDERAL, STATE, OR NON-U.S. LAWS OR OTHER STATUTE OR OTHERWISE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER SHALL NOT EXTEND TO COVER, AND PARENT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, SUCH LOSSES CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF PARENT, ANY AFFILIATE OF PARENT, OR ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER.

2.6 Service Boundaries and Scope. Except as provided in Schedule 1, (a) Parent shall be required to provide, or cause to be provided, the Services only at the locations such Services are being provided by Parent for any of the Enova Entities immediately prior to the IPO Closing Date, and (b) the Services shall be available only for purposes of conducting the business of the Enova Entities substantially in the manner it was conducted immediately prior to the IPO Closing Date. Except as provided in Schedule 1, in providing, or causing to be provided, the Services, Parent shall not be obligated to (a) maintain the employment of any specific employee or hire additional employees, (b) purchase, lease, or license any additional equipment (including, without limitation, computer equipment, software, furniture, furnishings, fixtures, machinery, vehicles, tools, and other tangible personal

 

- 3 -


property) that it would not acquire in the ordinary course of its business, (c) make modifications to its existing systems, (d) pay any costs related to the transfer or conversion of data of any of the Enova Entities, or (e) be directed by Enova with respect to the allocation or selection of the Parent employees used to provide the Services.

2.7 Cooperation. Parent and Enova shall cooperate with one another and shall provide such further assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the provision of Services hereunder.

2.8 Transitional Nature of Services; Changes. The parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and that Parent may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if Parent (a) is making similar changes in performing similar services for Parent and its Subsidiaries and (b) furnishes to Enova prompt notice respecting such changes.

ARTICLE III

SERVICE CHARGES

3.1 Service Fee. In consideration for the provision of the Services, Enova shall pay to Parent a monthly fee of $              (the “Service Fee”) and shall reimburse Parent for all reasonable, direct or indirect, out-of-pocket costs that are incurred to provide any Service, including any expenses incurred pursuant to Section 2.4 that are not invoiced directly to Enova, but excluding personnel and general overhead costs incurred by the Parent Group.

3.2 Performance under Separation Agreements. Except for the Service Fee described above, Enova shall not be charged under this Agreement for any services that are specifically required to be performed under any other Transaction Agreement to the extent charges for such services are specifically set forth in such other Transaction Agreement and any such other services shall be performed and charged for in accordance with the terms of the applicable Transaction Agreement to the extent provided therein; for example, services provided by Parent or its affiliates or any of their Third Party Service Providers under the Employee Matters Agreement or the Tax Sharing Agreement shall be charged as Services under this Agreement unless specifically provided to the contrary in the Employee Matters Agreement or the Tax Sharing Agreement, respectively.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENT

4.1 Payment.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed by the mutual agreement of the Service Coordinators, Parent shall deliver to Enova, on or before the 15th day of each month, addressed to the attention of the Enova Chief Financial Officer or such other person as Enova may designate in writing, an invoice setting forth in reasonable detail for the immediately preceding month (i) the Service Fee, (ii) the basis for the calculation of the out-of-pocket costs, and (iii) such additional information as Enova may reasonably request (the “Invoice”). Absent manifest error in calculations contained in an Invoice (if there is manifest error, Enova will correct such error and show such recalculation), Enova shall wire transfer to the account of Parent, within thirty (30) days after the date of the Invoice, the invoiced amount, in U.S. dollars, in full in accordance with written wiring instructions previously provided by Parent. Adjustment credits or debits shall be shown on, and settled concurrently with, the Invoice next succeeding the Invoice for which the adjustment is made. In addition, the parties may also process or settle any payments owed under this Agreement directly through electronic transfers between the parties’ designated bank accounts.

(b) Any preexisting obligation to make payment for Services provided hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

4.2 Payment Disputes. Enova may object to any amounts for any Service at any time before, at the time of, or after payment is made, provided such objection is made in writing to Parent within 60 days following the date of the disputed Invoice. Enova must timely pay all amounts in the invoice not subject to dispute within the thirty (30) day period described in Section 4.1 above; and Enova may withhold payment of the disputed items

 

- 4 -


pending resolution of the dispute. Payment of any amount shall not constitute approval thereof. The Service Coordinators shall meet as expeditiously as possible to resolve any dispute. Any dispute that is not resolved by the Service Coordinators within 60 days after Enova notifies Parent of the dispute in writing shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures set forth in Article V of the Separation Agreement. Neither party shall have a right of set-off against the other party for billed amounts hereunder. Upon written request, Parent will provide to Enova reasonable detail and support documentation to permit Enova to verify the accuracy of an Invoice.

4.3 Error Correction. Parent shall make adjustments to charges as required to reflect the discovery of errors or omissions in charges. Services under this Agreement and charges therefor shall be subject to audit in accordance with Section 4.5 hereof.

4.4 Taxes. Any transfer taxes, excises, fees, or other charges (including, without limitation, value added, sales, use, or receipts taxes, but not including a tax on or measured by the income, net or gross revenues, business activity, or capital of Parent), or any increase therein, now or hereafter imposed directly or indirectly by law upon any fees paid hereunder for Services, which Parent is required to pay or incur in connection with the provision of Services hereunder (“Tax”), shall be passed on to Enova as an explicit surcharge and shall be paid by Enova in addition to any Service Fee payment, whether included in the applicable Service Fee payment, or added retroactively. If Enova submits to Parent a timely and valid resale or other exemption certificate acceptable to Parent and sufficient to support the exemption from Tax, then such Tax will not be added to the Service Fee payable pursuant to Article III; provided, however, if Parent is ever required to pay such Tax, Enova will promptly reimburse Parent for such Tax, including any interest, penalties, and attorney’s fees related thereto. The parties will cooperate to minimize the imposition of any Taxes.

4.5 Records; Audits.

(a) Parent shall maintain true and correct records of all receipts, invoices, reports, and such other documents relating to the Services rendered hereunder in accordance with its standard accounting practices and procedures, consistently applied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent’s accounting records shall be maintained in sufficient detail to enable an auditor to verify the accuracy, completeness, and appropriateness of the charges for the Services hereunder. Parent shall retain such accounting records and make them available to Enova’s auditors for a period of not less than six years from the close of each fiscal year of Parent; provided, however, that Parent may, at its option, transfer such accounting records to Enova upon termination of this Agreement.

(b) Upon written request, Enova and its duly authorized representatives shall have access during customary business hours to the accounting records and other documents maintained by Parent that relate to this Agreement and shall have the right to audit such records; provided, however, that the same period cannot be re-audited. Any dispute arising out of an audit that is not resolved by the mutual agreement of the Service Coordinators shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures set forth in Article V of the Separation Agreement.

ARTICLE V

TERM

Enova shall undertake to provide to itself and its Subsidiaries, and to terminate as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with Article VI, the Services provided to the Enova Entities hereunder. Except as otherwise expressly agreed or unless sooner terminated, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect between the parties until the six-month anniversary date of IPO Closing Date.

ARTICLE VI

DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICES

6.1 Discontinuation of Services. After the date hereof, Enova may, without cause and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereunder, request the discontinuation or partial discontinuation of one or more specific Services or all of the Services provided thereunder by giving Parent at least 30 days’ prior written notice; provided, however, that (a) Enova shall be liable to Parent for all costs and expenses Parent remains obligated to pay in connection with, and attributable to, the provision of the discontinued Service or Services and (b) Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to minimize all such costs and expenses. In the event Enova discontinues one or more but not all of the Services, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to reach a mutually agreed upon reduction in the Service Fee to the extent a portion of the Service Fee can be reasonably attributed to the discontinued Service(s). The parties shall cooperate as reasonably required to effectuate an orderly and systematic transfer to the Enova Entities of all of the duties and obligations previously performed by Parent under this Agreement.

6.2 Procedures Upon Discontinuation or Termination of Services. Upon the discontinuation or termination of a Service hereunder, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect with respect to such Service, except as to obligations accrued prior to the date of discontinuation or termination; provided, however, that Article I, Article VIII, and Article IX of this Agreement shall survive such discontinuation or termination. Each party shall, within 60 days after discontinuation or termination of a Service, to the extent reasonably practicable, deliver to the other party all property in its possession, including, but not limited to, (a) originals of all books, records, contracts, receipts for deposits, and all other papers or documents in its possession which pertain exclusively to the business of the other party and relate to such Service, and (b) copies of books, records, contracts, receipts for deposits, and all other papers or documents maintained by the other party and which pertain in part to the business of the other party and relate to such Service; provided, that a party may retain archival copies of material provided to the other party pursuant to this Section 6.2.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULT

In the event of a (a) failure of Enova to pay for Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (b) failure of Parent to perform, or cause to be performed, the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which failure results or could reasonably result in a material adverse impact on the business, operations, or financial results of the Enova Entities taken as a whole, or (c) default by any party, in any material respect, in the due performance or observance by it of any of the other terms, covenants, or agreements contained in this Agreement, then the non-defaulting party shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately terminate this Agreement if (i) in the case of the failure to timely pay any money when due hereunder, if such failure continues for ten (10) days after the defaulting party receives written notice of such failure from the non-defaulting party, or (ii) in the case of any default other than the timely payment of money due hereunder, the defaulting party (x) fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days of receipt of the written notice of such default from the non-defaulting party, or (y) if such default is not reasonably susceptible to cure within such thirty (30) day period, failed to take action within 30 days of receipt of the written notice of default from the non-defaulting party reasonably designed to cure such default as soon as is reasonably practicable. Enova’s right to terminate this Agreement set forth in (b) and (c) above and the rights set forth in Section 2.5 shall constitute Enova’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies for a breach by Parent hereunder (including, without limitation, any breach caused by an Affiliate of Parent or any Third Party Service Provider).

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Personal Injury. Each party (as an indemnifying party) shall assume all liability for and shall release, defend, indemnify, and hold the other party, its affiliates, and their respective employees, officers, directors, members, managers, partners, Third Party Service Providers and agents (all as indemnified parties) free and harmless from and against all losses in connection herewith in respect of injury to or death or sickness of any employee, Third Party Service Provider, agent, or representative of the indemnifying party, its affiliates or their contractors or subcontractors, howsoever arising and whether or not caused by the negligence (whether sole, joint, or concurrent, or active or passive) of the indemnified parties, except to the extent such loss is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party.

8.2 Property Damage. Each party (as an indemnifying party) shall assume all liability for and shall release, defend, indemnify, and hold the other party, its affiliates, and their respective employees, officers, directors, members, managers, partners, Third Party Service Providers and agents (all as indemnified parties) harmless from

 

- 6 -


and against all losses in connection herewith in respect of loss of or damage to such indemnifying party’s property or property of its affiliates, their contractors or subcontractors or their respective employees, agents, or representatives, howsoever arising and whether or not caused by the negligence (whether sole, joint, or concurrent, or active or passive) of the indemnified parties, except to the extent such loss is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party.

8.3 Waiver of Consequential Damages. Neither party shall be liable under this Agreement for any consequential, special, indirect, incidental, punitive or exemplary damages under any theory, arising out of activities or obligations under or related to this Agreement, regardless of the acts, omissions, negligence, or fault of any person.

8.4 Services Received. Enova hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the Services to be provided hereunder are subject to and limited by the provisions of Section 2.5, Article VII, and the other provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the limitation of remedies available to Enova which restricts available remedies resulting from a Service not provided in accordance with the terms hereof to either non-payment or reperformance of such defective Service and, in certain limited circumstances, the right to terminate this Agreement;

(b) the Services are being provided solely to facilitate the transition of Enova to a separate publicly-traded company as a result of the IPO, and Parent and its Affiliates do not provide any such Services to non-Affiliates;

(c) it is not the intent of Parent to render, nor of the Enova Entities to receive from Parent, professional advice or opinions, whether with regard to risk management, government relations, investor relations, internal audit, payroll, legal, finance, accounting, tax, human resources, information systems, employment, or other business and financial matters, or technical advice, whether with regard to information systems or other matters; Enova shall not rely on, or construe, any Service rendered by or on behalf of Parent as such professional advice or opinions or technical advice; and Enova shall seek all third party professional advice and opinions or technical advice as it may desire or need, and in any event Enova shall be responsible for and assume all risks associated with the Services, except to the limited extent set forth in Section 2.5 and Article VII;

(d) with respect to any software or documentation within the Services, Enova shall use such software and documentation internally and for their intended purpose only, shall not distribute, publish, transfer, sublicense, or in any manner make such software or documentation available to other organizations or persons, and shall not act as a service bureau or consultant in connection with such software; and

(e) a material inducement to Parent’s agreement to provide the Services is the limitation of liability set forth herein and the release.

ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT WITH REGARD TO THE LIMITED REMEDIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN AND THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 8.1 AND SECTION 8.2 HEREOF, ENOVA SHALL ASSUME ALL LIABILITY FOR AND SHALL FURTHER RELEASE, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD PARENT, ANY AFFILIATE OF PARENT, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, PARTNERS, AND AGENTS (ALL AS INDEMNIFIED PARTIES), FREE AND HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL LOSSES RESULTING FROM, ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, HOWSOEVER ARISING AND WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF PARENT, ANY AFFILIATE OF PARENT, OR ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER, OTHER THAN THOSE LOSSES CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF PARENT, ANY AFFILIATE OF PARENT, OR ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER.

ARTICLE X

FORCE MAJEURE

10.1 Performance Excused. Continued performance of a Service may be suspended immediately to the extent caused by any event or condition beyond the reasonable control of the party suspending such performance including acts of God, fire, labor or trade disturbance, war (declared or undeclared), terrorism, civil commotion or civil unrest, riots, sabotage, compliance in good faith with any Law, unavailability of materials, unusually bad weather, interference by civil or military authorities or any other event or condition whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing (a “Force Majeure Event”).

10.3 Cooperation. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the parties shall cooperate with each other to find alternative means and methods for the provision of the suspended Service.

10.4 No Liability. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.5, neither party shall be under any liability for failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered, or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, provincial, territorial, local, or foreign law shall be deemed also to refer to such law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Any reference to any contract or agreement (including schedules, exhibits and other attachments thereto), including this Agreement, shall be deemed also to refer to such contract or agreement as amended, restated, or otherwise modified, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders shall be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. Where this Agreement states that a party “will” or “shall” perform in some manner or otherwise act or omit to act, it means that such party is legally obligated to do so in accordance with this Agreement. The captions, titles, and headings included in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not affect this Agreement’s construction or interpretation. Any reference to an Article, Section, or Schedule in this Agreement shall refer to an Article or Section of, or Schedule to, this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties (and, solely for purposes of Article VIII, the indemnified parties) and does not, and is not intended to, confer any rights or remedies in favor of any Person (including any employee, director, shareholder or Third Party Service Provider of Parent or any employee, director or shareholder of Enova) other than the parties.

 

- 8 -


11.2 Assignment. Except as set forth herein, neither party shall assign, transfer, or otherwise alienate any or all of its rights or interest under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other party, which consent may be granted or withheld in such other party’s sole discretion; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way restrict the performance of a Service by an Affiliate of Parent or a Third Party Service Provider as otherwise allowed hereunder.

11.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, and the exhibits and schedules referenced or attached hereto or thereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede (a) all prior oral or written proposals or agreements, (b) all contemporaneous oral proposals or agreements, and (c) all previous negotiations and all other communications or understandings between the parties, in each case with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. To the extent any portion of this Agreement conflicts, or is inconsistent, with any other Transaction Agreement, this Agreement shall control; provided, however, that if there are any conflicting or inconsistent provisions in (i) the Separation Agreement, the Separation Agreement shall control, and (ii) the Employee Matters Agreement with respect to employee and employee benefit matters, the Employee Matters Agreement shall control.

11.4 Notices. Any notice, instruction, direction or demand under the terms of this Agreement required to be in writing shall be duly given upon delivery, if delivered by hand, facsimile or other generally accepted means of electronic transmission, or mail (with postage prepaid), to the following addresses:
