Section 2.02 Performance of Services.

(a) The Provider shall perform and cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to perform all Services to be provided by the Provider in good faith and with due care consistent with the care that it exercises in performing such Services for itself. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that neither the Provider nor its Subsidiaries or Affiliates regularly provides the Services to be provided hereunder to Third Parties as part of its business, and, except as specifically stated elsewhere herein, the Provider does not otherwise warrant or assume any responsibility for the performance of the Services by it, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(b) (i) Neither the Provider nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be required to perform or to cause to be performed any of the Services for the benefit of any Third Party or any other Person other than the Recipient or its Subsidiaries, and (ii) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 2.02, EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL SERVICES AND PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS”

BASIS, THAT THE RECIPIENT ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ITS USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, AND THAT THE PROVIDER MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR GRANTS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS. EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OR EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR THE NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.

(c) Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement. No Party shall knowingly take any action in violation of any such applicable Law that results in Liability being imposed on the other Party. If a change in or addition to Law applicable to the Provider or the Recipient causes the Provider to change the Services provided or incur additional expenses in providing such Services, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly advise the Recipient of such additional expenses, and the Provider and the Recipient will mutually seek an alternative that minimizes such additional expenses. The Recipient shall be responsible for any and all such additional expenses.

Section 2.03 Charges for Services. The Recipient shall pay the Provider of each Service the fee set forth on Schedule 1 for such Service (or category of Services, as applicable) after the “Fee” heading (each fee constituting a “Charge” and, collectively, “Charges”). All Charges shall be invoiced and collected in accordance with Article IV. During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Charge for any Services may be adjusted to the extent of: (a) any adjustments mutually agreed to by the Parties; and (b) any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by any Third-Party provider that is providing Services in accordance with Section 2.07 (proportional to the respective use of such Services by each Party); provided, that the rates or charges imposed by such Third-Party provider shall be passed through to the Recipient without adding any margin or mark-up¹. Together with any monthly invoice for Charges, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by the Recipient to the extent such documentation is in the Provider’s or its Subsidiaries’ or its Affiliates’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such Charges.

Section 2.04 Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Expenses and Compensation Costs. The Recipient shall reimburse the Provider for (i) reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Provider or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with providing the Services (including reasonable travel-related expenses) and (ii) the portion of all Provider employee compensation and benefits (calculated at twenty percent (20%) of salary) incurred in connection with or allocable directly to the performance of the Services hereunder, in each case, to the extent that such costs, expenses, compensation and benefits are not reflected in the Charges for such Services set forth on Schedule; 1. Any authorized travel-related expenses incurred in performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to the Recipient in accordance with the Provider’s then applicable business travel policies.

Section 2.05 Changes to Services. Except as provided in Section 2.07 and subject to the performance standards set forth in this Article II, the Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if the Provider is making similar changes in performing analogous services for itself and if the Provider furnishes to the Recipient reasonable prior Notice (in content and timing) respecting such changes.

Section 2.06 Transitional Nature of Services. The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and agree to cooperate using good faith efforts to effectuate a smooth transition of the Services from the Provider to the Recipient (or its designee).

Section 2.07 Use of Third Parties to Provide Services. The Provider may perform its obligation to provide a Service through the use of one or more Third Parties without the consent of the Recipient; provided, that, subject to Section 2.02, (a) the hiring or engagement of such Third Party does not materially decrease the quality or level of Services provided to the Recipient to below that provided by the Provider, (b) the use of such Third Party will not materially increase the Charges payable by the Recipient in connection with such Services, (c) the use of such Third Party will not change the manner in which the Services are delivered in a way that materially increases the Recipient’s costs of receiving the Services; provided, further, that if such Third Party has been engaged by Provider to perform the same or similar services to Provider or Recipient prior to the Effective Time, then clauses (a), (b) and (c) shall be deemed satisfied. The Provider shall in all cases remain primarily responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Services, except that if a Third Party provides all or part of any Service pursuant to a written agreement with the Recipient, the Recipient agrees to be bound by, and to cause its Affiliates to comply with, those obligations that such agreement places on the Recipient, and the Provider shall not be responsible for its obligations under this Agreement that are specified in such agreement to be obligations of the Third Party provider.
