(b)           After the date of this Agreement, if (i) Carrier or Otis identifies a service that UTC provided to it or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the applicable Distribution Date that it reasonably needs in order for the Carrier Business or Otis Business, as applicable, to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the Carrier Business or Otis Business, as applicable, operated prior to the applicable Distribution Date, and such service was not included on the Schedules hereto (other than because the Parties agreed such service shall not be provided), or (ii) UTC identifies a service that Carrier or Otis provided to it or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the applicable Distribution Date that it reasonably needs in order for the UTC Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the UTC Business operated prior to the applicable Distribution Date, and such service was not included on the Schedules hereto (other than because the Parties agreed such service shall not be provided),

then, in each case, if such Party provides written notice to the applicable other Party within sixty (60) days after the applicable Distribution Date requesting such additional services, then the applicable other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such requested additional services (such requested additional services, the “Additional Services”); provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to provide any Additional Service if it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such Additional Service or if the provision of such Additional Service would significantly disrupt the operation of Service Provider’s business; and provided, further, that the applicable Party shall not be required to provide any Additional Services if the applicable Parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms thereof (including with respect to Charges therefor).  In connection with any request for Additional Services in accordance with this Section 2.01(b), the applicable Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a supplement to the applicable Schedule, which terms shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, similar Services provided under this Agreement.  Upon the mutual written agreement of the applicable Parties, the supplement to the applicable Schedule shall describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, Service Period(s), termination provisions and other terms applicable to such Additional Services in a manner similar to that in which the Services are described in the existing Schedules.  Each supplement to the applicable Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the applicable Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Additional Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.02.           Performance of Services.

(a)           Subject to Section 2.05 and unless otherwise provided with respect to a specific Service on the Schedules hereto, Service Provider shall perform (directly, through one (1) or more of its Subsidiaries, or through a Third Party service provider in accordance herewith), all Services to be provided in a manner that is substantially similar in all material respects to the analogous services provided by Service Provider or any of its applicable Subsidiaries to its applicable functional group or Subsidiary (collectively referred to as the “Level of Service”) during the one (1)-year period ending on the last day of Service Provider’s last fiscal quarter completed on or prior to the applicable Distribution Date (the “Service Baseline Period”).

(b)            Nothing in this Agreement shall require Service Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent that the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of any applicable Law or any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party.  If Service Provider is or becomes aware that any such violation is reasonably likely, Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly advise Service Recipient of such potential violation, and the applicable Parties shall mutually seek an alternative that addresses such potential violation.  The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary Third Party consents required under any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party to allow Service Provider to perform, or cause to be performed, all Services to be provided hereunder in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.02.  Service Recipient shall reimburse Service Provider for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (if any) to the extent incurred by Service Provider or any of its Subsidiaries at any time following the First Effective Time in connection with obtaining any

such Third Party consent that is required to allow Service Provider to perform or cause to be performed such Services (it being understood that to the extent any such consent is required in respect of a Service to be provided to more than one Party hereunder, each applicable Service Recipient shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of such reimbursement); provided, however, that any such out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) shall require advance written approval of Service Recipient; provided, further, that if Service Recipient does not provide such advance written approval and the incurrence of such cost or expense is reasonably necessary for Service Provider to provide the applicable Service in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement, Service Provider shall not be required to perform such Service.  If the applicable Parties, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to obtain a required Third Party consent with respect to a Service, or the performance of a Service by Service Provider would constitute a violation of any applicable Law, Service Provider shall have no obligation whatsoever to perform or cause to be performed such Service.

(c)             If Service Recipient requests that Service Provider perform or cause to be performed any Service in a manner that is more burdensome (with respect to service quality or quantity, other than in a de minimis respect) than the Level of Service during the Service Baseline Period, then the applicable Parties shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith to determine whether Service Provider will be required to provide such requested increased Level of Service.  If the applicable Parties determine that Service Provider shall provide the requested increased Level of Service, then such increased Level of Service shall be documented in a written agreement signed by the applicable Parties.  Each amended section of the Schedules hereto, as agreed to in writing by the applicable Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such written agreement and the Level of Service increases set forth in such written agreement shall be deemed a part of the “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(d)            (i) Without prejudice to Section 8.08(b), neither Service Provider nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to perform or cause to be performed any of the Services for the benefit of any Third Party or any other Person other than Service Recipient and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 2.02 OR ARTICLE VII, EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES (A) THAT ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, (B) THAT SERVICE RECIPIENT, AS APPLICABLE, ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ITS USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, AND (C) THAT SERVICE 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.  SERVICE PROVIDER 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.

(e)             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

Section 2.03.          Charges for Services.  Unless otherwise provided with respect to a specific Service on the Schedules hereto, Service Recipient shall pay Service Provider a fee for such Services (or category of Services, as applicable) (each fee, a “Charge” and, collectively, “Charges”), which Charges shall be set forth on the applicable Schedules hereto, or if not so set forth, then, unless otherwise provided with respect to a specific Service on the Schedule hereto, based upon the cost of providing such Services as shall be agreed by the applicable Parties from time to time.  During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Charge for any Service may be modified to the extent of (a) any adjustments mutually agreed by the applicable Parties, (b) any adjustments due to a change in Level of Service requested by Service Recipient, and agreed upon by Service Provider, and (c) any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by any Third Party provider that is providing Services, provided that Service Provider will notify Service Recipient in writing of any such change in rates at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such rate change.  Together with any invoice for Charges, Service Provider shall provide Service Recipient with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by Service Recipient to the extent that such documentation is in Service Provider’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such Charges.

Section 2.04.          Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Costs and Expenses.  Service Recipient shall reimburse Service Provider for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses to the extent incurred by Service Provider or any of its Subsidiaries at any time following the First Effective Time in connection with providing the Services to Service Recipient (including reasonable travel-related expenses) to the extent that such costs and expenses are not reflected in the Charges for such Services or otherwise reimbursed to Service Provider pursuant to another provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such costs or expenses (including business travel and related expenses) incurred in excess of an aggregate amount of (a) fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) with respect to Carrier or Otis as Service Recipient shall require advance written approval of Carrier or Otis, as applicable, (b) fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) with respect to UTC as Service Recipient and Carrier as Service Provider shall require advance written approval of UTC and (c) fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) with respect to UTC as Service Recipient and Otis as Service Provider shall require advance written approval of UTC; provided, further, that if Service Recipient does not provide such advance written approval and the incurrence of such cost or expense is reasonably necessary for Service Provider to provide such Service in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement, Service Provider shall not be required to perform such Service.  Any authorized travel-related expenses to the extent incurred at any time following the Effective Time in performing the Services shall be charged to Service Recipient in accordance with Service Provider’s then-applicable business travel policies.

Section 2.05.           Changes in the Performance of Services.

(a)             Subject to the performance standards for Services set forth in Section 2.02(a), Section 2.02(b) and Section 2.02(c), Service Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if Service Provider is making similar changes in performing analogous services for itself and if Service Provider furnishes to Service Recipient

(b)             Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.02(b), Service Recipient may request a change to a Service by submitting a request in writing to Service Provider describing the proposed change in reasonable detail.  Service Provider shall respond to the request as soon as reasonably practicable, and the applicable Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree to arrangements for Service Provider to accommodate such change in a manner that would not adversely impact (other than de minimis impacts) the cost, burden, liability or risk associated with providing the applicable Service or cause any other non-commercially reasonable disruption or adverse impact on Service Provider’s business.  Each agreed upon change shall be documented by an amendment in writing to the applicable Schedule.

Section 2.06.          Transitional Nature of Services.  The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and agree to cooperate in good faith and to use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid a disruption in the transition of the Services from Service Provider to Service Recipient (or its designee) including to assist with exiting a Service or portion thereof, it being understood that any incremental costs and expenses incurred by Service Provider in compliance with any request of Service Recipient pursuant to this Section 2.06 will be paid by the Service Recipient.  Service Recipient agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate its and its Subsidiaries’ dependency on each Service to the extent and as soon as is reasonably practicable (it being understood that this Section 2.06 shall not require Service Recipient to terminate any Service during the Minimum Service Period or otherwise prior to the initial termination date for such Service set forth on the applicable Schedule).

Section 2.07.          Subcontracting.  Service Provider may hire or engage one or more Third Parties to perform any or all of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) Service Provider shall use the same degree of care (but at least reasonable care) in selecting each such Third Party as it would if such Third Party was being retained to provide similar services to Service Provider and (b) Service Provider shall in all cases remain responsible (as primary obligor) for all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the scope of the Services, the performance standard for Services set forth in Section 2.02(a), Section 2.02(b) and Section 2.02(c) and the content of the Services provided to Service Recipient.  Service Provider shall be liable for any breach of its obligations under this Agreement by any Third Party service provider engaged by Service Provider.

If such an agreement or modification of any of the Services is required by applicable Law, or if the applicable Parties mutually determine entry into such an agreement or modification of

Services would be desirable, in each case in order for Service Provider or its Subsidiaries to provide any of the Services in a particular jurisdiction, Service Provider and Service Recipient shall, or shall cause their applicable Subsidiaries to, to enter into local implementing agreements (as each may be amended and in effect from time to time, each a “Local Agreement”) in form and content reasonably acceptable to the applicable Parties; provided that the execution or performance of any such Local Agreement shall in no way alter or modify any term or condition of this Agreement or the effect of any such term or condition, except to the extent expressly specified in such Local Agreement.  Except as used in this Section 2.08, any references herein to this Agreement and the Services to be provided hereunder, shall include any Local Agreement and any local services to be provided thereunder.  Except as expressly set forth in any Local Agreement, in the event of a conflict between the terms contained in a Local Agreement and the terms contained in this Agreement (including the applicable Schedules), the terms in this Agreement shall take precedence.

Section 8.08.           Assignability.

or other business combination of such Party with or into any other Person or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party to another Person, in each case so long as the resulting, surviving or acquiring Person assumes all the obligations of such applicable Party by operation of Law or pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Party or Parties whose consent would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 8.08(a).  The Parties agree that if Carrier or Otis divests a business or portion of a business to a third party buyer while such business (or portion thereof, as applicable) is receiving Services under this Agreement, and the unavailability of the Services for the remaining applicable Service Period would materially and adversely impact such divested business (or portion thereof, as applicable) or Carrier’s or Otis’, as applicable, ability to successfully complete such divestiture, upon the written request of Carrier or Otis, as applicable, UTC and Carrier or Otis, as applicable, will cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on a mutually acceptable and commercially reasonable plan to permit such divested business (or portion thereof, as applicable), but, for clarity, not any portion of the applicable third party buyer’s businesses or operations other than solely such divested business (or portion thereof, as applicable), to continue to receive the applicable Services during the remaining applicable Service Period consistent with the terms and conditions hereof, such plan to include, if mutually acceptable and commercially reasonable, any appropriate set-up or similar activities to segregate, as appropriate, the services provided to the divested business (or portion thereof, as applicable) from those provided to Carrier or Otis, as appropriate, and if and when such plan to segregate the services for such divested business (or portion thereof, as applicable) is mutually agreed (or if not mutually agreed, so long as UTC and Carrier or Otis, as applicable, shall have determined that such plan is not necessary after cooperating in good faith), UTC shall provide such services to such divested business (or portion thereof, as applicable) on the terms set out herein; provided that (a) the third party buyer, pursuant to an agreement with Carrier or Otis, as applicable, assumes all obligations of Carrier or Otis, as applicable, under this Agreement in respect of such divested business (or portion thereof) and such applicable Services which agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to UTC, and shall also specify that other than the preparation for and provision of the applicable Services and any necessary interaction with the third party buyer in connection therewith, UTC need only communicate and interact with Carrier or Otis, as applicable, and not such third party buyer, including with respect to invoicing, for which UTC shall invoice Carrier or Otis, as applicable, and Carrier or Otis, as applicable, shall remit payment to UTC, (b) notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a) and in addition to (but not in duplication of) its other indemnification obligations (if any) under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, Carrier or Otis, as applicable, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless UTC, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Representatives, and each of the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing, from and against any and all Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the sale, delivery or provision of any such Services to such third party buyer (except to the extent that such Liability relates to, arises out of or results from UTC’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud), and (c) the provision of such applicable Services to such third party buyer shall be not be materially more burdensome to UTC, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Representatives (either alone or in the aggregate with all other Services hereunder) than the provision of such applicable Services prior to such divestiture, including by requiring no greater amount or frequency of any such Services and being subject to no greater requirements or standards (other than the segregation of the services as contemplated above); provided, further, that under no

Section 8.09.          Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except as provided in Article VII with respect to the Service Provider Indemnitees and the Service Recipient Indemnitees in their respective capacities as such, (a) the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties and are not intended to confer upon any other Person except the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder; and (b) there are no other third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any other Third Party with any remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Section 8.10.          Notices.  Except with respect to a Routine Communication (which shall be governed by Section 8.15), all notices, requests, claims, demands or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and except as provided herein shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service, by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by electronic mail (“e-mail”), so long as confirmation of receipt of such e-mail is requested and received, to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 8.10):

Any Party may, by notice to the other Parties, change the address to which such notices are to be given.

Section 8.11.         Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby.  Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.

Section 8.12.          Force Majeure.  No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation hereunder so long as and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such obligations is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure.  Without limiting the termination rights contained in this Agreement, in the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.  A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such Force Majeure, (a) provide written notice to the applicable other Parties of the nature and extent of such Force Majeure; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than the date that the affected Party resumes analogous performance under any other agreement or for itself, its Affiliates or any Third Party) unless this Agreement has previously been terminated under Article V or this Section 8.12.  Service Recipient shall be (i) relieved of the obligation to pay Charges for the affected Service(s) throughout the duration of such Force Majeure and (ii) entitled to permanently terminate such Service(s) if the delay or failure in providing such Services because of a Force Majeure shall continue to exist for more than thirty (30) consecutive days (it being understood that Service Recipient shall not be required to provide any advance notice of such termination to Service Provider).

Section 8.13.          Headings.  The Article, Section and Paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 8.14.          Waivers of Default.  Waiver by any Party of any default by another Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the waiving Party.  No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate

(a)           Prior to the First Effective Time, the Parties shall establish a committee (the “TSA Committee”) that shall initially consist of the six individuals set forth on Annex A hereto. Each of UTC, Carrier and Otis may replace any member of the TSA Committee appointed by such Party at any time upon notice to the other Parties in accordance with Section 8.10.  The TSA Committee shall be responsible for monitoring and managing all matters related to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet monthly (or with such other frequency mutually agreed by each of the applicable Parties) for the purposes of reviewing and discussing cooperatively and in good faith the status of the Services, including any approaching terminations of Service Periods and the effective transition of Services from Service Provider to Service Recipient in connection therewith.  Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 8.10, any Routine Communication shall be delivered via e-mail (with confirmation of receipt requested and received) to the members of the TSA Committee appointed by the relevant Party or Parties.  For all Routine Communications other than Routine Communications which are exclusively related to ordinary course payment or billing of a Service, a copy shall also be delivered via e-mail (with confirmation of receipt requested and received) to the Persons listed in Section 8.10 with respect to the relevant Party or Parties.  All decisions by the TSA Committee or any subcommittee thereof shall be effective only if mutually agreed by each of the applicable Parties implicated in the applicable matter.  The Parties shall utilize the procedures set forth in Section 8.15(b) to resolve any matters as to which the TSA Committee is not able to reach a decision.  In the event of any controversy, dispute or claim (a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to any Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise), calculation or allocation of the costs of any Service or otherwise arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement (including the interpretation or validity of this Agreement), such Dispute shall be resolved by submitting such Dispute first to the TSA Committee, and the members of the TSA Committee from the Parties involved in such Dispute shall seek to resolve such Dispute through informal good-faith negotiation.  In the event that the relevant members of the TSA Committee fail to meet, or if they meet and fail to resolve a Dispute within twenty (20) business days, then either Party involved in such Dispute may pursue the remedy set forth in Section 8.15(b).

(b)           If the procedures set forth in Section 8.15(a) have been followed with respect to a Dispute and such Dispute remains unresolved, such Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution process referred to in Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

(c)           In any Dispute regarding the amount of a Charge or a Termination Charge, if such Dispute is finally resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution process set forth or referred to in Section 8.15(a) or Section 8.15(b) and it is determined that the Charge or the Termination Charge, as applicable, that Service Provider has invoiced Service Recipient, and that Service Recipient has paid to Service Provider, is greater or less than the amount that the Charge or the Termination Charge, as applicable, should have been, then (i) if it is determined that Service Recipient has overpaid the Charge or the Termination Charge, as applicable, Service Provider

shall within ten (10) days after such determination reimburse Service Recipient an amount of cash equal to such overpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date of payment by Service Recipient to the time of reimbursement by Service Provider; and (ii) if it is determined that Service Recipient has underpaid the Charge or the Termination Charge, as applicable, Service Recipient shall within ten (10) days after such determination reimburse Service Provider an amount of cash equal to such underpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date such payment originally should have been made by Service Recipient to the time of payment by Service Recipient.

Section 8.16.          Specific Performance.  Subject to Section 8.15, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Party or Parties who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (on an interim or permanent basis) in respect of its rights or their rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.  The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any Action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived.  Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived by each of the Parties.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Service Provider shall continue to provide Services and the Parties shall honor all other commitments under this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.15 and this Section 8.16 with respect to all matters not subject to such Dispute; provided, however, that this obligation shall only exist during the term of this Agreement.

Section 8.17.          Amendments.  No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom enforcement of such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is sought.

Section 8.18.          Precedence of Schedules.  Each Schedule attached to or referenced in this Agreement is hereby incorporated into and shall form a part of this Agreement; provided, however, that the terms contained in such Schedule shall only apply with respect to the Services provided under that Schedule.  In the event of a conflict between the terms contained in an individual Schedule and the terms in the body of this Agreement, the terms in the Schedule shall take precedence with respect to the Services under such Schedule only.  No terms contained in individual Schedules shall otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement.
