  (C)

the Service Recipient fails to comply with the obligations owed to, or restrictions put in place by, a Third Party Supplier (in each case to the extent that the Service Recipient was aware (or should reasonably have been aware) of such restrictions and obligations, including such obligations arising under Section 2.1(b)(ix)), or fails in any material respect to timely reimburse the Service Provider for the Authorization Expenses;

and, in each case, the relevant Fees charged for that Third Party Service, or the relevant part of that Third Party Service, shall no longer be due or payable, and any Fees already paid for any Third Party Services that have not been provided shall be credited against Fees for other Transition Services.

If the Party providing notification of the Omitted Service is a Service Recipient, then the Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Omitted Service, unless provision of such Omitted Service conflicts with or violates any applicable Law, any policy or procedure of the Service Provider or its Third Party Suppliers, or any of the Third Party Supply Contracts. If the Service Recipient objects to the addition of the Omitted Service following notification by the Service Provider, the Parties shall discuss in good faith whether and on what terms the Omitted Service may be added (which shall be on terms and conditions consistent with the Services Schedules). All costs of any Omitted Service shall be calculated, and the relevant charges shall be paid, by the Service Recipient in accordance with Article 4 and on the same basis as the Fees.

3.3

Compliance with Laws.

15


  (b)

If any Service Provider has knowledge that the provision of any Transition Service is or will be (or would reasonably be expected to be) affected by a Force Majeure Event, the Service Provider shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and in accordance with applicable Law, promptly provide, in writing, notice of such Force Majeure Event to the Service Recipient, describing in reasonable detail such Force Majeure Event, the affected Transition Service, and the Service Provider’s reasonable estimate of the scope and duration of such Force Majeure Event.

  (a)

Except as otherwise provided herein, all procedures, methods, systems, strategies, tools, equipment, facilities and other resources of any Service Provider used in connection with the provision of Transition Services (the “Equipment”) shall remain the property of such Service Provider and shall at all times be under the sole direction and control of such Service Provider.

4.

PAYMENT

 

4.1

Fees.

 

  (a)

In connection with each Transition Service, the Service Recipient shall pay to the Service Provider (i) the fees set forth in the applicable Service Schedule with respect to such Transition Service, or if not specified therein, fees for such Transition Service as determined by the mutual agreement of both Parties, negotiated in good faith; (ii) any reasonable and documented third party fees, costs and expenses which are charged to or incurred by the Service Provider in connection with provision of Transition Services to the Service Recipient and which are not included in the fees set forth in the Service Schedules (collectively, with the fees set forth in sub-clause (i) above, the “Fees”); (iii) the Authorization Expenses; and (iv) any increase in the Fees pursuant to Section 4.1(b) below.

 

  (b)

It is the intent of the Parties that the Fees reasonably approximate the actual cost to the Service Provider of providing the Transition Services, without any intent to cause the Service Provider to receive any profit or incur any loss with respect thereto. If at any time a Party reasonably believes that the Fees with respect to any Transition Service are materially insufficient to compensate the Service Provider for the cost of providing such Transition Service, or that the Fees with respect to any Transition Service materially overcompensate the Service Provider for the cost of providing such Transition Service, such Party shall promptly provide notice to the other Party of the same, identifying such Transition Service and setting forth in reasonable detail its rationale for such belief, and shall include with such notice all available documentation with regard to the cost of providing such Transition Service. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties shall jointly evaluate all Fees for reasonableness on a semi-annual basis and make adjustments to the Fees as the Parties may mutually agree in writing, except that the Parties acknowledge and agree that if any third party costs associated with the provision of the Transition Services increase during the Term or Extension Term (including increased charges under Third Party Supply Contracts or costs increase resulting from changes in Law or the requirements of any Governmental Entity), the Service Provider may, on prompt written notice to the Service Recipient, increase the Fees to reflect such increases; provided that the Service Provider agrees to provide the Service Recipient with reasonable documentation of such increase.

 

  (c)

Upon the delivery of a notice contemplated by Section 4.1(b), the Parties shall cooperate, in accordance with Section 2.7(a), to come to a mutually acceptable agreement with regard to the appropriate Fees for such Transition Service.

 

17


4.2

  (a)

Each Service Provider shall invoice the Service Recipient on a monthly basis, for any Fees, costs or other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement and any applicable Schedule.

 

  (b)

Each invoice delivered pursuant to Section 4.2(a) shall set forth a brief description of the Transition Services and the Migration Assistance provided, and with respect to any amounts payable reasonable documentation to support the charges thereon.

 

  (c)

Each invoice delivered pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be payable within ninety (90) days after the date of the invoice.

 

  (d)

All Fees shall be invoiced and payable in United States dollars or shall otherwise be payable in kind as mutually agreed in writing by the Parties.

 

  (e)

If any invoice delivered pursuant to (and in compliance with) this Section 4.2 is not paid in full within ninety (90) days after the date of the invoice, interest shall accrue on the unpaid amount at the annual rate equal to the “Prime Rate” as reported on the ninetieth (90th) day after the date of the invoice in The Wall Street Journal (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately after such day), calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed between the end of the ninety (90)-day payment period and the actual payment date.

 

  (f)

If there is a Dispute between the Parties regarding the amounts shown as billed to the Service Recipient on, or the accuracy of all or any part of, any invoice, the Service Provider shall, upon the written request of the Service Recipient, furnish to the Service Recipient additional documentation reasonably necessary to substantiate the amounts billed including, but not limited to, listings of the dates, times and amounts of the Transition Services in question where applicable and practicable. If the dispute is not resolved by the original due date for payment, the Parties shall follow the procedure set out in Section 12.9 to resolve the matter.

 

  (g)

The Parties acknowledge that there may be a lag in the submission of charges from third parties relating to the provision of Third Party Services, and that the Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such third party invoices, and to provide the same to the Service Recipient, in a timely fashion.

 

4.3

Sales Taxes.

All Fees and other consideration under this Agreement are exclusive of any sales, transfer, value-added, goods or services tax or similar gross receipts based tax (including any such taxes that are required to be withheld, but excluding all other taxes including taxes based upon or calculated by reference to income, receipts or capital) imposed against or on Transition Services or Migration Assistance (“Sales Taxes”) provided

 

18


hereunder, and such Sales Taxes will be added to the Fees or other consideration payable where applicable. Sales Taxes shall be separately stated on the relevant invoice. The Service Recipient shall be responsible for any such Sales Taxes and shall either (a) remit such Sales Taxes to the Service Provider (and the Service Provider shall remit such amounts (or, to the extent relevant to value-added and other taxes, a lesser applicable amount due) to the applicable taxing authority) or (b) provide the Service Provider with a certificate or other acceptable proof evidencing an exemption from liability for such Sales Taxes.

 

4.4

No Offset.

5.3

Security Breaches.

In the event of a security breach that relates to the Transition Services, the Parties shall, subject to any applicable Law, cooperate with each other in good faith regarding the timing and manner of (a) notification to their respective customers, potential customers, employees and/or agents concerning a breach or potential breach of security and (b) disclosures to appropriate Governmental Entities.

 

19


5.4

Systems Security.

 

  (a)

If any Party or its Personnel are given access to any computer systems or software of any member of the other Party’s Group (“Systems”) in connection with such Party’s performance or receipt of Transition Services, such Party shall comply, and shall cause the other members of its Group and its Personnel to comply, with all of such other Party’s Group’s system security policies, procedures and requirements (as amended from time to time, the “Security Regulations”), and will not tamper with, compromise or circumvent any security or audit measures employed by such other Party’s Group.

 

  (b)

Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that only those of its Personnel who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems of the other Party’s Group gain such access, and to prevent unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of information contained therein, including notifying its Personnel regarding the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and establishing appropriate policies designed to effectively enforce such restrictions.

 

  (c)

Each Party shall, and shall cause its Personnel who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems of the other Party’s Group to:

 

  (i)

cooperate in any reasonable security arrangements that the other Party reasonably considers necessary to prevent that Party or any unauthorized third party from accessing the Systems in a manner prohibited by this Agreement;

 

  (ii)

continually assess and, where relevant, report to the other Party any threats to the Systems arising as a result of any access granted under this Agreement; and

 

  (iii)

ensure that all users of the other Party’s Systems undertake a controlled authorization process before access to the Systems is granted, and remove access privileges in a timely manner if appropriate.

 

  (d)

If a Party detects, or is informed of, a breach of its Security Regulations that will (or is likely to) have a material impact on the Transition Services or the integrity of any Confidential Information of the other Party on any System, such Party shall:

 

  (i)

immediately act to prevent or mitigate the effects of the breach;

 

  (ii)

report the breach to the other Party as soon as reasonably practicably after detection; and

 

20


  (iii)

  (f)

The Service Provider may, with prior written notice, suspend the access by the Service Recipient (and the Service Recipient’s Personnel who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems of the other Party’s Group) to its Systems if, in the Service Provider’s reasonable opinion, the integrity and security of the Systems or any data stored on them is being or is imminently likely to be jeopardized by the activities of the Service Recipient (or the Service Recipient’s Personnel who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems of the other Party’s Group).

Upon reasonable written notice from the Service Recipient of any Transition Service, the Service Provider shall make available to the Service Recipient or its Representatives (at the Service Recipient’s sole cost and expense) reasonable access to, or at the Service Recipient’s sole cost and expense, copies of, the Records with respect to such Transition Service during regular business hours.

In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, if the Party in receipt of the Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) is nonetheless, in the reasonable written opinion of its legal advisers, compelled to disclose Confidential Information, the Receiving Party, after written notice to the other Party whose Confidential Information is required to be disclosed (the “Disclosing Party”) (to the extent not prohibited by Law), may disclose such Confidential Information only to the extent so required in the written opinion of its legal advisers and shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the remainder of the Confidential Information in accordance with this Article 6.

  (b)

Claims Not Involving Third Parties. If the Indemnified Party wishes to assert a claim for indemnification under this Agreement that does not involve a third-party action, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) that contains (i) a description of the claim for indemnification, a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor and a description (including the amount) of any Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party (in each case, to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party), (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, and (iii) a demand for payment for such Damages (which need not be specific as to the amount of such Damages).

Termination by LG or Splitco.

This Agreement, or any Transition Service provided hereunder, as applicable, may be terminated by LG, on the one hand, or Splitco, on the other hand, (LG or Splitco, as applicable, the “Terminating Party”) upon written notice if:

 

  (A)

the other Party fails to perform or otherwise breaches a material provision of this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes any failure to make payment in full for Transition Services and Migration Assistance, except in a case where there is a good faith Dispute) and such breach is not cured, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Terminating Party, within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof; or

 

  (B)

the other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or becomes insolvent, or a receiver is appointed for, or a court approves reorganization or arrangement proceedings on, such Party.

 

  (ii)

This Agreement, or any Transition Service provided hereunder, as applicable, may be terminated by Splitco, upon prior written notice to LG, on or following a Change of Control of LG or a Change of Control of LGP (in each case, whether by transfer of stock, merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets).

Extension of Term. Not less than sixty (60) nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the respective Term, the Service Recipient shall notify the Service Provider in writing if it determines in good faith that it will not be able to complete the transition from, or to replace, one or more Transition Services prior to the expiration of the respective Term for the relevant Transition Service. So long as the Service Recipient has at all times performed its obligations under this Agreement, the Service Provider shall continue to provide such Transition Service, and, solely with respect to such Transition Service, extend the Term for up to twelve (12) additional months (the “Extension Term”); provided, that (i) the Service Recipient shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any such Extension Term, (ii) the Parties will reevaluate the Fees consistent with Article 4 hereto, and (iii) the Service Recipient shall indemnify the Service Provider for any expenses, payments, penalties or liabilities incurred by it as a result of any such extension (which indemnification payments shall be in addition to any Fees which may be due for such Transition Service during such Extension Term).
