All Liabilities assumed or retained by a member of the SpinCo Group under this Agreement shall be “Enterprise Apps Liabilities” for purposes of the Separation Agreement.

2.2 Transfers of Employees and Independent Contractors Generally.

(a) The Company and SpinCo shall mutually update the Census from time to time following the date hereof and, in any event, no later than thirty (30) Business Days (as defined in the Merger Agreement) prior to the Distribution Time, to reflect new hire/engagements, terminations or other personnel changes occurring between the date hereof and the date of such update, as permitted pursuant to Section 6.1(h) of the Merger Agreement, and any such updates shall be provided to the Parent. Seven (7) Business Days prior to the Distribution Time, the Company and SpinCo shall provide Parent with a final updated Census reflecting new hires/engagements, terminations or other personnel changes occurring between the date the last update was provided and the Distribution Time, as permitted pursuant to Section 6.1(h) of the Merger Agreement.

(b) The Company and SpinCo will cooperate to cause each of the SpinCo Employees (other than each SpinCo Employee who is an Offer Employee) to be employed by a member of the SpinCo Group prior to the Distribution Time. The Company shall cooperate in good faith with Parent and its Affiliates to (i) make each Offer Employee reasonably accessible to Parent and its Affiliates to assist in efforts to secure offers of employment with each such Offer Employee and (ii) encourage (without the payment of additional compensation, benefits or other monetary or non-monetary incentives) each Offer Employee to accept an offer of employment with Parent or one of its Affiliates (including, following the Effective Time, SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group). Parent or one of its Affiliates (including, following the Effective Time, SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group) shall offer employment to the Offer Employees upon such terms and conditions of employment as set forth in Section 2.4, commencing at midnight local time on the Closing Date; provided that any Offer Employee who is an Inactive Employee immediately prior to the Closing shall receive an offer of employment in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, this Section 2.2(b) below. The Company shall terminate the employment of all Offer Employees (other than the Inactive Employees) effective as of or immediately prior to the Closing and shall comply with, and hold Parent and its Affiliates harmless from, all legal or contractual requirements arising in connection with or as a result of such terminations of employment. The applicable date on which the each applicable Offer Employee commences employment with Parent or one of its Affiliates, either on or following the Closing Date as set forth in this Section 2.2(b), shall be the “Transfer Date” of such Offer Employee. As of the Distribution Time or, with respect to the Offer Employees, as of the applicable Transfer Date, the Company shall ensure that each SpinCo Employee is released from any post-termination or employment restrictions that would prohibit or restrict such SpinCo Employee from performing their duties for the SpinCo Group following the Distribution Time. All SpinCo Employees (other than the Offer Employees) and Acquired Company Employees who are employed by the SpinCo Group as of the Distribution Time shall continue to be employees of the SpinCo Group immediately after the Distribution Time. All SpinCo Employees (other than the Offer Employees) and Acquired Company Employees who are employed by the SpinCo Group as of the Distribution Time and all Offer Employees who commence employment with Parent or one of its Affiliate’s pursuant to Parent’s or its Affiliate’s offer of employment on the Closing Date (or, with respect to Inactive Employees, such later date contemplated by this Section 2.2(b)) are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Transferred Employees”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Inactive Employee, Parent’s or its Affiliate’s offer of employment shall be contingent on such Inactive Employee’s return to active status within six (6) months following the Closing Date (or such longer period as required by applicable Law). The Company and its Affiliates shall continue to employ and shall remain responsible for any liabilities and obligations related to any Inactive Employee unless and until such individual becomes a Transferred Employee.

(c) The Company and SpinCo will cooperate to cause the engagement of each Business Independent Contractor set forth on Schedule B hereto to be transferred to a member of the SpinCo Group prior to the Distribution Time. As of the Closing, the Company shall ensure that each Business Independent Contractor is released from any engagement with the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than the SpinCo Group), including any restrictions or obligations that would prohibit or restrict such Person from performing such Person’s work for the SpinCo Group following the Distribution Time. All SpinCo Independent Contractors who are engaged by the SpinCo Group as of the Distribution Time shall continue to be engaged by the SpinCo Group immediately after the Distribution Time and are referred to herein as the “Transferred Independent Contractors”.

(d) The Company Group and SpinCo Group agree to execute, and to seek to have the applicable SpinCo Service Providers execute, such documentation, if any, as may be necessary to reflect the transfers or assignments, as applicable, described in this Section 2.2.

Section 3.4 Cooperation. The Parties shall provide, and shall cause their Affiliates to provide, assistance and cooperation to one another in accordance with Article VII with respect to the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, including providing information required to be provided under Article VIII.

In addition, neither Parent nor Spinco shall be permitted, and shall not permit any member of the Spinco Group or Parent Group, without Remainco’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to make a change in any of its methods of accounting for Tax purposes until all applicable statutes of limitations for all Pre-Distribution Periods have expired.

(a) The Tax treatment of any step in or portion of the Separation, the Reorganization, the Contribution and the Distribution shall be reported on each applicable Tax Return consistently with the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions, taking into account the jurisdiction in which such Tax Returns are filed, unless there is no Reasonable Basis for such Tax treatment. In the event that a Party shall determine that there is no Reasonable Basis for such Tax treatment, such Party shall notify the other Party no later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to filing the relevant Tax Return and the Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree on the manner in which the relevant portion of the Separation, the Reorganization, the Contribution or the Distribution (as applicable) shall be reported. Notwithstanding the above, the Parties acknowledge that Remainco may engage in certain transactions with third parties after the Distribution Date that may trigger corporate level taxes for Remainco under Section 355(e) of the Code, in which case the Parties shall not be obligated to report the Contribution and Distribution as tax-free to Remainco under Section 355(e).

(b) After the date hereof, the Parties shall negotiate and cooperate in good faith to determine whether protective elections under Section 336(e) of the Code (and any applicable state or local Tax Law) shall be made with respect to the Distribution for Spinco and each member of the Spinco Group that is a domestic corporation for Federal Income Tax purposes (the “Protective Section 336(e) Elections”). Such cooperation shall include the provision by Remainco of any information reasonably necessary to make such determination. If the Parties mutually determine that a Section 336(e) Election would be beneficial, then Remainco and Spinco shall enter into a written, binding agreement to make the Protective Section 336(e) Elections, and Remainco and Spinco shall timely make the Protective Section 336(e) Elections in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.336-2(h).

(c) Remainco, Parent and Spinco shall cooperate in making any agreed-to Protective Section 336(e) Elections, including filing any statements, amending any Tax Returns or undertaking such other actions reasonably necessary to carry out the Protective Section 336(e) Elections. Remainco shall determine the “aggregate deemed asset disposition price” and the “adjusted grossed-up basis” (each as defined under applicable Treasury Regulations) and the allocation of such aggregate deemed asset disposition price and adjusted grossed-up basis among the assets of the applicable member or members of the Remainco Group or Spinco Group, each in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 336(e) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (the “Section 336(e) Allocation Statement”). Each Party agrees not to take any position (and to cause each of its Affiliates not to take any position) that is inconsistent with the Protective Section 336(e) Elections, including the Section 336(e) Allocation Statement, on any Tax Return, in connection with any Tax Contest or for any other Tax purposes (in each case, excluding any position taken for financial accounting purposes), except as may be required by a Final Determination.

(d) If any Protective Section 336(e) Elections are made, then, in the event of a failure of the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions, the actual Tax savings if, as and when realized by the Spinco Group arising from the increase in Tax basis (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such increase in Tax basis attributable to payments made pursuant to this Section 3.6(d)) resulting from the Protective Section 336(e) Election, determined on a “with and without” basis (treating any deductions or amortization attributable to the increase in Tax basis resulting from the Protective 336(e) Election, or any other recovery of such increase in Tax basis, as the last items claimed for any taxable year, including after the utilization of any available net operating loss carryforwards), shall be shared between Remainco and Spinco in the same proportion as the Taxes imposed on the Transactions giving rise to such increased basis were borne by Remainco and Spinco (after giving effect to the indemnification obligations in this Agreement); provided, however, that payments made by Spinco pursuant to this Section 3.6(d): (i) shall be reduced by all reasonable costs incurred by any member of the Spinco Group to amend any Tax Returns or other governmental filings related to such Protective Section 336(e) Election and (ii) shall not exceed the amount of any Distribution Taxes and Tax-Related Losses attributable thereto of the Remainco Group (not taking into account this Section 3.6(d)) arising from such failure of the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions and for which Remainco is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Taxes that are estimated Taxes, (i) the Party that is or will be the Responsible Party with respect to any Tax Return that will reflect (or otherwise give credit for) such estimated Taxes shall remit or cause to be remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority in a timely manner any estimated Taxes due, and (ii) in the case of any estimated Taxes for which the Party that is not the Responsible Party is obligated pursuant to this Agreement to pay all or a portion of the Taxes that will be reported as due on any Tax Return that will reflect (or otherwise give credit for) such estimated Taxes, the Responsible Party shall notify the other Party, in writing, of its obligation to pay such estimated Taxes and, in reasonably sufficient detail, its calculation of the amount due by such other Party and the Party receiving such notice shall pay such amount to the Responsible Party upon the later of five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due and thirty (30) Business Days after the receipt of such notice.

(b) Except as required by applicable Law, Remainco shall not, and shall not permit any member of the Remainco Group to, file or allow to be filed any amended Tax Return or request for an Adjustment for any Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period if the result would be to materially increase any liability of Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group either (i) under this Agreement or (ii) for a Post-Distribution Period, in each case without the prior written consent of Spinco, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

For the avoidance of doubt, Remainco may elect in its reasonable discretion, in order to comply with this Section 3.9, to create or cause to be created books and records or reports or other documents based thereon (including, without limitation, “earnings & profits studies,” “basis studies” or similar determinations) that it does not typically maintain or prepare in the ordinary course of business.

Article IV

Section 4.1 Representations and Warranties.

(a) Remainco, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Remainco Group, hereby represents and warrants that (i) it has examined any and all Tax Opinions all materials delivered or deliverable in connection with the Tax Certificates or the rendering of any Tax Opinions (collectively, the “Tax Materials”), (ii) the facts presented and representations that have been or will be made therein, to the extent descriptive of or otherwise relating to Remainco or any member of the Remainco Group (including any members of the Spinco Group prior to the Distribution Time) or the Remainco Retained Business, were or will be at the time presented or represented and from such time until and including the Distribution Time true, correct and complete in all material respects, and (iii) it has delivered copies of the Tax Materials to Parent.

(b) Remainco, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Remainco Group, hereby confirms and agrees to comply with any and all covenants and agreements in the Tax Materials applicable to Remainco or any member of the Remainco Group or the Remainco Retained Business.

(c) Spinco, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Spinco Group, hereby represents and warrants or covenants and agrees, as appropriate, that it has examined the Tax Materials and the facts presented and representations that have been or will be made therein, to the extent descriptive of or otherwise relating to (i) the Spinco Group or Parent Group (including the business purposes for the Distribution) after the Distribution Time and the plans, proposals, intentions and policies of the Spinco Group or Parent Group after the Distribution Time, and (ii) the actions or non-actions of the Spinco Group or Parent Group to be taken (or not taken, as the case may be) after the Distribution Time, to its knowledge are, or will be from the time presented or made through and including the Distribution Time (and thereafter as relevant) true, correct and complete in all material respects, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Remainco rather than Spinco or Parent shall be responsible for the accuracy of, or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, statement, or covenant with respect to the Spinco Group or the Spinco Business at the time presented or made (and, if applicable, through and including the Distribution Time).

(d) Parent and Spinco, on behalf of themselves and all other members of their respective Groups, hereby confirm and agree to comply with any and all covenants and agreements in the Tax Materials applicable to Parent, Spinco or any member of their respective Groups or the Spinco Business pertaining to the conduct of such entities following the Distribution Time.

(e) Each of Remainco, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Remainco Group, Spinco, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Spinco Group, and Parent, represents and warrants that it knows of no fact that may cause the failure of the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions other than those described herein.

(f) Each of Remainco, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Remainco Group, Spinco, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Spinco Group, and Parent represents and warrants that it has no plan or intent to take any action which is inconsistent with any statements or representations made in the Tax Materials.

Section 4.2 Restrictions Relating to the Distribution.

(a) Remainco, on behalf of itself and all other members of the Remainco Group, hereby covenants and agrees that no member of the Remainco Group will take, fail to take, or to permit to be taken: (i) any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any statement, information, covenant or representation in the Tax Materials, or (ii) any action where such action or failure to act would adversely affect, or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect, the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions. Notwithstanding the above, the Parties acknowledge that Remainco may engage in certain transactions with third parties after the Distribution Date that may trigger corporate level taxes for Remainco under Section 355(e) of the Code. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as preventing Remainco from engaging in these third party transactions or of being in violation of this Agreement if it engages in such transactions and properly reports and timely pays the taxes owed under Section 355(e) of the Code.

(b) Each of Spinco and Parent, on behalf of itself and all other members of their respective Groups, hereby covenants and agrees that no member of their Group will take, fail to take, or permit to be taken any action where such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any statement, information, covenant or representation in the Tax Materials pertaining to Spinco following the Distribution Time.

(c) During the Restricted Period, Parent and Spinco:

(i) shall continue and cause to be continued the active conduct of the Spinco Business for purposes of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code, taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code, as conducted immediately prior to the Distribution,

(ii) shall not voluntarily dissolve or liquidate themselves or any member of the Spinco Group (including any action that is a liquidation for U.S. federal income tax purposes),

(iii) shall not (1) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent Spinco or Parent has the right to prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur (whether by (A) redeeming rights under a shareholder rights plan, (B) finding a tender offer to be a “permitted offer” under any such plan or otherwise causing any such plan to be inapplicable or neutralized with respect to any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, (C) approving any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, whether for purposes of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any similar corporate statute, any “fair price” or other provision of the charter or bylaws of Parent or Spinco, (D) amending its certificate of incorporation to declassify its board of directors or approving any such amendment, or (E) otherwise), (2) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through an Affiliate) any stock, or rights to acquire stock except (A) to the extent such repurchases satisfy Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue Procedure by Revenue Procedure 2003-48), (B) to the extent reasonably necessary to pay the total tax liability arising from the vesting of an Equity Award, or (C) through a net exercise of an Equity Award, (3) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the relative voting rights of its capital stock (including through the conversion of any capital stock into another class of capital stock), (4) merge or consolidate, or agree to merge or consolidate, Parent or Spinco with any other Person (other than pursuant to the Merger) unless, in the case of a merger or consolidation, Parent or Spinco (as applicable) is the survivor of such merger or consolidation or (5) take any other action or actions (including any action or transaction that is inconsistent with any representation made in the Tax Materials regarding Spinco following the Distribution Time) which in the aggregate (and taking into account the Merger) would, when combined with any other direct or indirect changes in ownership of Parent or Spinco capital stock pertinent for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code, have the effect of causing or permitting one or more Persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire directly or indirectly stock representing a fifty percent (50%) or greater interest in Parent or Spinco or would reasonably be expected to result in a failure to preserve the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions; and

(iv) shall not and shall not permit any member of the Spinco Group, to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose (including in any transaction treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) of assets (including, any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than thirty percent (30%) of the consolidated gross assets of Spinco or the Spinco Group; provided, that this clause (iv) shall not apply to (1) sales, transfers, or dispositions of assets in the ordinary course of business, (2) any cash paid to acquire assets from an unrelated Person in an arm’s-length transaction, (3) any assets transferred to a Person that is disregarded as an entity separate from the transferor for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (4) any mandatory or optional repayment (or pre-payment) of any indebtedness of Spinco or any member of the Spinco Group; provided, further that the percentages of gross assets or consolidated gross assets of Spinco or the Spinco Group, as the case may be, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, shall be based on the fair market value of the gross assets of Spinco and the members of the Spinco Group as of the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Section 4.2(c)(iv), a merger of Spinco or one of its Subsidiaries with and into any Person that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary of Spinco shall constitute a disposition of all of the assets of Spinco or such Subsidiary.

(d) Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by Sections 4.2(b) and 4.2(c), Parent, Spinco or a member of the Spinco Group may take any of the actions or transactions described therein if Spinco either (i) obtains an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Remainco, (ii) obtains a ruling from the IRS to the effect that such actions or transactions will not affect the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions (a “Post-Distribution Ruling”) or (iii) obtains the prior written consent of Remainco waiving the requirement that Spinco obtain an Unqualified Tax Opinion or Post-Distribution Ruling, such waiver to be provided in Remainco’s sole and absolute discretion. Remainco shall cooperate in good faith with any reasonable requests of Spinco in connection with securing any Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion. Remainco’s evaluation of an Unqualified Tax Opinion may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions, representations, and covenants made in connection with such opinion. Spinco shall bear all costs and expenses of securing any such Unqualified Tax Opinion or Post-Distribution Ruling and shall reimburse Remainco for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that Remainco or any of its Affiliates may incur in good faith in connection with obtaining or evaluating any such Unqualified Tax Opinion or Post-Distribution Ruling. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(d), neither the delivery of an Unqualified Tax Opinion, receipt of a Post-Distribution Ruling nor Remainco’s waiver of Spinco’s obligation to deliver an Unqualified Tax Opinion or obtain a Post-Distribution Ruling shall limit or modify Parent’s or Spinco’s continuing indemnification obligation Pursuant to Article V.

Article V
INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS

Section 5.1 Indemnity Obligations.

(a) Remainco shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and Spinco from and against, and will reimburse Spinco for, (i) all liability for Taxes allocated to Remainco pursuant to Article II, (ii) all Taxes and Tax-Related Losses attributable thereto arising out of, based upon, or relating or attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in, or failure to perform, as applicable, any representation, covenant, or obligation of any member of the Remainco Group pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) the amount of any Refund received by any member of the Remainco Group that is allocated to Spinco pursuant to Section 2.7(a).

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(a), without regard to whether an Unqualified Tax Opinion may have been provided, any Post-Distribution Ruling obtained or whether any action is permitted or consented to hereunder and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, in the Separation Agreement, the Merger Agreement or other Ancillary Agreement, Parent and Spinco shall indemnify and hold harmless Remainco from and against, and will reimburse Remainco for, (i) all liability for Taxes allocated to Spinco pursuant to Article II, (ii) all Taxes and Tax-Related Losses attributable thereto arising out of, based upon, or relating or attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in, or failure to perform, as applicable, any representation, covenant, or obligation of any member of the Spinco Group pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) the amount of any Refund received by any member of the Spinco Group that is allocated to Remainco pursuant to Section 2.7(a).

Section 5.2 Indemnification Payments.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if either Party (the “Indemnitee”) is required to pay to a Taxing Authority a Tax or to another Person a payment in respect of a Tax that the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) is liable for under this Agreement, including as the result of a Final Determination, the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party, in writing, of its obligation to pay such Tax and, in reasonably sufficient detail, its calculation of the amount due by such Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee, including any Tax-Related Losses attributable thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall pay such amount, including any Tax-Related Losses attributable thereto, to the Indemnitee no later than the later of (i) five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due to the applicable Taxing Authority or (ii) thirty (30) Business Days after the receipt of notice from the other Party. Any Tax indemnity payment required to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by any corresponding Tax Benefit payment required to be made to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 2.8. For the avoidance of doubt, a Tax Benefit payment is treated as corresponding to a Tax indemnity payment to the extent the Tax Benefit realized is directly attributable to the same Tax item (or adjustment of such Tax item pursuant to a Final Determination) that gave rise to the Tax indemnity payment.

(b) If, as a result of any change or redetermination, any amount previously allocated to and borne by one Party pursuant to the provisions of Article II is thereafter allocated to the other Party, then, no later than thirty (30) Business Days after such change or redetermination, such other Party shall pay to such Party the amount previously borne by such Party which is allocated to such other Party as a result of such change or redetermination.

(c) If an Indemnitee receives a Refund with respect to a Tax Contest for which the Indemnifying Party made an indemnity payment to the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 5.2(a), the Indemnitee shall pay the amount of such Refund to the Indemnifying Party, such payment to the Indemnifying Party not to exceed such indemnity payment, no later than thirty (30) Business Days after the receipt of such Refund.

Section 5.3 Payment Mechanics.

(a) All payments under this Agreement shall be made by Remainco directly to Spinco and by Spinco directly to Remainco; provided, however, that if the Parties mutually agree with respect to any such indemnification payment, any member of the Remainco Group, on the one hand, may make such indemnification payment to any member of the Spinco Group, on the other hand, and vice versa. All indemnification payments shall be treated in the manner described in Section 5.4.

(b) In the case of any payment of Taxes made by a Responsible Party or Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement for which such Responsible Party or Indemnitee, as the case may be, has received a payment from the other Party, such Responsible Party or Indemnitee shall provide to the other Party a copy of any official government receipt received with respect to the payment of such Taxes to the applicable Taxing Authority (or, if no such official governmental receipts are available, executed bank payment forms or other reasonable evidence of payment).

Section 5.4 Treatment of Payments. The Parties agree that any payment made among the Parties pursuant to this Agreement (other than any payment of interest accruing after the Distribution Date) shall be treated, to the extent permitted by Law, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes as either (i) a non-taxable contribution by Remainco to Spinco or (ii) a distribution by Spinco to Remainco, and, with respect to any payment made among the Parties pursuant to this Agreement after the Distribution, such payment shall be treated as having been made immediately prior to the Distribution.

Article VI
TAX CONTESTS

Section 6.1 Notice. Each Party shall notify the other Party in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by such Party or any member of its Group of a written communication from any Taxing Authority with respect to any pending or threatened audit, claim, dispute, suit, action, proposed assessment or other proceeding (a “Tax Contest”) concerning any Taxes for which the other Party may be liable pursuant to this Agreement, and thereafter shall promptly forward or make available to such Party copies of notices and communications relating to such Tax Contest.

Section 6.2 Separate Returns.

(a) If, pursuant to Article II hereof, Spinco has sole liability for the Taxes that are the subject of a Tax Contest with respect to any Separate Return, then subject to Section 6.5 and Section 6.6, Spinco shall have the sole responsibility and right to control the prosecution of such Tax Contest, including the exclusive right to communicate with agents of the applicable Taxing Authority and to control, resolve, settle, or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of such Tax Contest.

(b) With respect to any Tax Contest other than those described in Section 6.2(a), subject to Section 6.5 or Section 6.6, Remainco shall have the sole responsibility and right to control the prosecution of such Tax Contest, including the exclusive right to communicate with agents of the applicable Taxing Authority and to control, resolve, settle, or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of such Tax Contest.

Section 6.3 Joint Return. In the case of any Tax Contest with respect to any Joint Return, Remainco shall, subject to Section 6.5 and Section 6.6, have the sole responsibility and right to control the prosecution of such Tax Contest, including the exclusive right to communicate with agents of the applicable Taxing Authority and to control, resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted, or assessed in connection with or as a result of such Tax Contest.

Section 6.4 Obligation of Continued Notice. During the pendency of any Tax Contest or threatened Tax Contest, each of the Parties shall provide prompt notice to the other Party of any written communication received by it or a member of its respective Group from a Taxing Authority regarding any Tax Contest for which it is indemnified by the other Party hereunder or for which it may be required to indemnify the other Party hereunder. Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Taxing Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Taxing Authority in respect of any such matters. Such notice shall be provided in a reasonably timely fashion; provided, however, that in the event that timely notice is not provided, a Party shall be relieved of its obligation to indemnify the other Party only to the extent that such delay results in actual increased costs or actual prejudice to such other Party.

Section 6.5 Settlement Rights. Unless waived by the Parties in writing, in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest as a result of which adjustment the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement: (i) the Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or proposed to be taken by the Controlling Party with respect to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (ii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party with copies of any correspondence or filings submitted to any Taxing Authority or judicial authority in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (iii) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith; and (iv) the Controlling Party shall not settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed without the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The failure of the Controlling Party to take any action specified in the preceding sentence with respect to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement, except to the extent the Non-Controlling Party is actually harmed thereby, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party.

Section 6.6 Tax Contest Participation. Unless waived by the Parties in writing, the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with written notice reasonably in advance of, and the Non-Controlling Party shall have the right to attend and participate in, any formally scheduled meetings with Taxing Authorities or hearings or proceedings before any judicial authorities in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest pursuant to which the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement (including any Tax Contest related to the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions) or may reasonably be expected to give rise to Tax liabilities of the Non-Controlling Party for any Post-Distribution Period. The failure of the Controlling Party to provide any notice specified in this Section 6.7 to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party.

Article VII
COOPERATION

Section 7.1 General.

(a) Each Party shall fully cooperate, and shall cause all members of such Party’s Group to fully cooperate, with all reasonable requests in writing from the other Party, or from an agent, representative or advisor to such Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return, claims for Refunds, the conduct of any Tax Contest, and calculations of amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, related or attributable to or arising in connection with Taxes of either Party or any member of either Party’s Group covered by this Agreement and the establishment of any reserve required in connection with any financial reporting (a “Tax Matter”). Such cooperation shall include the provision of any information reasonably necessary or helpful in connection with a Tax Matter and shall include, without limitation, at each Party’s own cost:

(i) the provision of any Tax Returns of either Party or any member of either Party’s Group, books, records (including information regarding ownership and Tax basis of property), documentation and other information relating to such Tax Returns, including accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities; and

(ii) the execution of any document (including any power of attorney) in connection with any Tax Contest of either Party or any member of either Party’s Group, or the filing of a Tax Return or a Refund claim of either Party or any member of either Party’s Group.

Each Party shall make its employees and facilities available, without charge, on a mutually convenient basis to facilitate such cooperation.

Section 7.2 Consistent Treatment. Unless and until there has been a Final Determination to the contrary, each Party agrees not to take any position on any Tax Return, in connection with any Tax Contest or otherwise that is inconsistent with (a) the treatment of payments between the Remainco Group and the Spinco Group as set forth in Section 5.4, (b) the Tax Materials or (c) the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions.

Article VIII
RETENTION OF RECORDS; ACCESS

Section 8.1 Retention of Records. For so long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitation (including any waivers or extensions thereof) and (ii) seven (7) years after the Distribution Date, the Parties shall retain records, documents, accounting data and other information (including computer data) necessary for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns (collectively, “Tax Records”) in respect of Taxes of any member of either the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group for any Pre-Distribution Period or Post-Distribution Period or for any Tax Contests relating to such Tax Returns. At any time after the Distribution Date when the Remainco Group proposes to destroy any Tax Records, the Remainco Group shall first notify the Parent Group in writing, and the Parent Group shall be entitled to receive such records or documents proposed to be destroyed. At any time after the Distribution Date when the Spinco Group or Parent Group proposes to destroy any Tax Records, Spinco or Parent, as appropriate, shall first notify Remainco in writing and the Remainco Group shall be entitled to receive such records or documents proposed to be destroyed. The Parties will notify each other in writing of any waivers or extensions of the applicable statute of limitations that may affect the period for which the foregoing records or other documents must be retained.

Section 8.2 Access to Tax Records. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their possession and shall permit the other Party and its Affiliates, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Taxing Authority or other Tax auditor direct access, during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the other Party in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items pursuant to this Agreement. The Party seeking access to the records of the other Party shall bear all costs and expenses associated with such access, including any professional fees.

Article IX
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 9.1 Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute between the Parties as to any financial matter covered by this Agreement, the Parties shall appoint a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve such dispute. In this regard, the Accounting Firm shall make determinations with respect to the disputed items based solely on representations made by Remainco, Spinco, Parent, and their respective representatives, and not by independent review, and shall function only as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall be required to make a determination in favor of one Party only. The Parties shall require the Accounting Firm to resolve all disputes no later than ninety (90) days after the submission of such dispute to the Accounting Firm, but in no event later than the due date for the payment of Taxes or the filing of the applicable Tax Return, if applicable, and agree that all decisions by the Accounting Firm with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Accounting Firm shall resolve all disputes in a manner consistent with this Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, in a manner consistent with the Past Practices of Remainco and its Subsidiaries, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Parties shall require the Accounting Firm to render all determinations in writing and to set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Remainco, on the one hand, and Parent and Spinco, on the other hand.

Article X

Article II

TRANSITION SERVICES PROVIDED

2.1 Transition Services.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Inpixon shall provide, or cause one or more of its Representatives to provide, to the applicable CXApp Recipient each of the services set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (hereinafter referred to individually as a “CXApp Transition Service”, and collectively as the “CXApp Transition Services”), at the corresponding costs set forth on Schedule A, and the CXApp Recipient agrees to receive the CXApp Transition Services and pay the costs therefor during the time period specified for each such CXApp Transition Service in such Schedule or for such other time period as permitted pursuant to this Agreement (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “CXApp Service Periods” for all of the CXApp Transition Services, and individually a “CXApp Service Period” for each CXApp Transition Service). The Parties may amend the scale and scope of the CXApp Transition Services from time to time upon mutual agreement by executing a signed amendment to Schedule A.

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, CXApp shall provide, or cause one or more of its Representatives to provide, to the applicable Inpixon Recipient each of the services set forth on Schedule B attached hereto (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Inpixon Transition Service”, and collectively as the “Inpixon Transition Services”, and, together with the CXApp Transition Services, the “Transition Services”), at the corresponding costs set forth on Schedule B, and the Inpixon Recipient agrees to receive the Inpixon Transition Services and pay the costs therefor during the time period specified for each such Inpixon Transition Service in such Schedule or for such other time period as permitted pursuant to this Agreement (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Inpixon Service Periods” for all of the Inpixon Transition Services, and individually a “Inpixon Service Period” for each Inpixon Transition Service, and, together with the CXApp Service Periods, the “Service Periods”). The Parties may amend the scale and scope of the Inpixon Transition Services from time to time upon mutual agreement by executing a signed amendment to Schedule B.

(c) If, during the Term, Recipient identifies in good faith any service that was provided by Provider or one of its Affiliates (excluding the Recipient’s Group) to the Enterprise Apps Business (as defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement) in the case of a CXApp Recipient or the Inpixon Retained Business (as defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement) in the case of an Inpixon Recipient, as applicable (the “Applicable Business”), prior to the Effective Date that is not listed on Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, and is necessary to (i) effectuate the Separation or (ii) operate the Applicable Business (an “Omitted Service”), then Recipient shall notify Provider thereof and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith in determining whether there is a mutually acceptable arm’s length basis on which one Party will provide such Omitted Service to the other Party in exchange for a fee which shall be set forth on an amended Schedule A or Schedule B as may be applicable.

2.2 Personnel; Affiliates; Vendors. In providing the Transition Services, Provider may, as it deems necessary or appropriate, (i) use the qualified personnel of Provider or its Affiliates, and (ii) employ the services of qualified third parties (“Vendors”) to the extent that, and subject to the condition that, such Vendor’s services (A) were utilized by or for the benefit of the Applicable Business prior to the Effective Date, (B) are routinely utilized to provide similar services to other businesses of Provider or (C) are reasonably necessary for the efficient performance of such Transition Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider shall not, without first complying with vendor diligence and other risk management processes and procedures at least as stringent as Provider would undertake in the ordinary course of business for onboarding vendors or other service providers to perform the same or similar types of services for Provider or its Affiliates (the “Vendor Diligence and Risk Management Standard”), employ the services of a Vendor in providing the Transition Services if such Vendor will (i) have, process or otherwise have access to Recipient’s Confidential Information or Recipient’s information systems; (ii) provide a material component of any Transition Service; (iii) provide a service, feature or functionality that is customer-facing or public-facing; or (iv) use any Trademark of Recipient. Furthermore, each Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, comply, in all material respects, with all Laws which may be applicable to the Transition Services. Each Party shall be responsible for its Representatives, including for such Representatives adhering to any reasonable written health, safety, and security regulations and other published policies of the other Party provided in advance while on the other Party’s premises or when given access to any equipment, computer, databases, systems, software, network or other files (collectively, “Systems”) owned or controlled by the other Party (the “System Owner”). If a Party or one or more of its Representatives needs access to the premises or Systems of the other Party or one or more of its Representatives to provide or receive the Transition Services (as applicable), then (x) the accessing Party shall advise the other Party in writing in advance of such access of the name of each of the accessing Party’s Representatives who shall require such access, (y) the accessing Party and its Representatives shall not attempt to obtain access to, use or interfere with any of the premises or Systems of the other Party or such other Party’s Representatives, except to the extent permitted by the other Party or required to do so to provide or receive the Transition Services (as applicable), and (z) the accessing Party and its Representatives shall not intentionally damage, disrupt or impair the normal operation of any of the premises or Systems of the other Party or such other Party’s Representatives. Additionally, the accessing Party shall not (and shall ensure that its Representatives shall not): (i) use the System Owner’s Systems to develop software, process data or perform any work or services other than for the purpose of exercising its rights or performing its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) obtain, or attempt to obtain, access to any hardware, program or data stored in the System Owner’s Systems except to the extent reasonably necessary to exercise the accessing Party’s rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement. All user identification numbers and passwords for the Systems disclosed to the accessing Party, and any information obtained from the use of the System Owner’s Systems, shall be deemed Confidential Information of the System Owner.

2.3 Coordinators. Each of Provider and Recipient shall nominate a representative to act as its primary contact person to coordinate the provision of all Transition Services (collectively, the “Primary Coordinators”). Each Primary Coordinator may designate one or more service coordinators for each specific Transition Service (the “Service Coordinators”). Each Party may treat an act of a Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator of another Party as being authorized by such other Party without inquiring behind such act or ascertaining whether such Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator had authority to so act, provided, however, that no such Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator has authority to amend this Agreement. Provider and Recipient shall advise each other promptly (in any case no more than five (5) business days) in writing of any change in the Primary Coordinators and any Service Coordinator for a particular Transition Service, setting forth the name of the Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator to be replaced and the name of the replacement, and certifying that the replacement Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator is authorized to act for such Party in all matters relating to this Agreement, in the case of a Primary Coordinator or, in the case of a Service Coordinator, with respect to the Transition Service for which such Service Coordinator has been designated. Provider and Recipient each agrees that all communications relating to the provision of the Transition Services shall be directed to the Service Coordinators for such Transition Service with copies to the Primary Coordinators. Inpixon’s initial Primary Coordinator shall be Nadir Ali. CXApp’s initial Primary Coordinator shall be Khurram Sheikh.

2.4 Level of Transition Services.

(a) Recipient acknowledges and agrees that Provider is not in the business of providing services to third parties and is entering into this Agreement only in connection with the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Provider shall, and shall cause each of its Representatives to, provide the Transition Services with substantially the same degree of skill, quality and standard of care as that utilized by Provider (or its Affiliates) to perform similar activities in the six (6) month period (or twelve (12) month period solely with respect to activities that are customarily performed on an annual basis) prior to the Effective Date, and, in any event, no less than with commercially reasonable care and diligence (collectively, the “Services Standard”). Under no circumstances shall Provider or any of its Representatives be held accountable to a greater standard of care, efforts or skill than the Services Standard in the performance of the Transition Services. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the Transition Services do not include the exercise of business judgment or general management.

(b) If the Transition Services to be provided to Recipient materially increase in scale or in scope as compared to the level of the services reasonably anticipated as of the Effective Date to be provided based on the projected growth or natural evolution of the Applicable Business, Provider may, at its election, choose to not provide such increased scale or scope of Transition Services, and if Provider elects to perform such increased scale or scope of Transition Services, all costs incurred in connection therewith shall be mutually agreed upon by Provider and Recipient prior to the time such additional Transition Services are performed, shall be set forth in an amended Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, and shall be borne by Recipient.

(c) In addition to being subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the provision of the Transition Services, Provider and Recipient each agree that the Transition Services provided by any Vendor shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any agreements between Provider and such Vendor, which agreements shall be on substantially the same conditions as Provider would enter into with such Vendor for its own account, and no such agreements shall be binding on Recipient after the Term hereof without Recipient’s express written consent. Provider shall consult with Recipient concerning the terms and conditions of any such agreements to be entered into, or proposed to be entered into, or amended, with any Vendors after the Effective Date.

(d) Without relieving Provider of its obligation to perform the Transition Services in accordance with the Services Standard, Provider shall not be (i) obligated to perform the Transition Services to the extent that such performance would be unlawful or that would require Provider to violate applicable Law; (ii) obligated to perform the Transition Services to the extent that such performance, in Provider’s reasonable determination, could create deficiencies in Provider’s controls over financial information or adversely affect the maintenance of Provider’s financial books and records or the preparation of its financial statements; (iii) obligated to hire any additional employees to perform the Transition Services or maintain the employment of any specific employee; (iv) obligated to hire replacements for employees that resign, retire or are terminated; (v) obligated to enter into retention agreements with employees or otherwise provide any incentive beyond payment of regular salary and benefits; (vi) prevented from transferring after the Effective Date any employees who were supporting the business operations as of the Effective Date to support other business operations for Provider or its Affiliates or to assume other roles with Provider or its Affiliates to the extent such employees are not required to provide Transition Services; (vii) prevented from determining, in its sole discretion, the individual employees who will provide Transition Services; or (viii) obligated to purchase, lease or license any additional equipment or software.

2.5 Location of Services Provided; Travel Expenses. Provider shall provide the Transition Services to Recipient from locations of Provider’s choice in its sole discretion except to the extent the nature of the Transition Services necessitates performance at a specific location, as mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Subject to Section 3.1, should the provision of the Transition Services require any directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, or subcontractors of Provider or its Affiliates to travel beyond fifty (50) miles from his or her employment location, Recipient shall reimburse Provider for all reasonable travel-related out-of-pocket costs, consistent with Provider’s travel policy as provided to Recipient in advance in writing.

2.6 Limitation of Liability.

The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Transition Services are provided by Provider: (a) at the request of Recipient in order to accommodate it following the closing under the Separation and Distribution Agreement; (b) at the costs set forth on Schedule A or Schedule B hereto, as applicable, and with no expectation of profit being made by Provider thereon; and (c) with the expectation that Provider is not assuming any financial or operational risks, including those usually assumed by a service provider, except for those risks explicitly set forth herein. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, and except for breaches of Article V (Confidentiality) and except for a Party’s obligations under Section 2.7 (Indemnification), the other Party, its Affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, consultants and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, including lost profits or savings, whether or not such damages are foreseeable, or for any third party claims relating to the Transition Services or to each Party’s performance under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event Provider commits an error with respect to or incorrectly performs or fails to perform any Transition Service, at Recipient’s request, Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts and in good faith attempt to correct such error, re-perform or perform such Transition Service at no additional cost to Recipient; provided that, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, and assuming that Provider uses commercially reasonable data backup processes, Provider shall have no obligation to recreate any lost or destroyed data to the extent the same cannot be cured by the re-performance of the Transition Service in question.

2.7 Indemnification.

(a) Recipient shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider and its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, subcontractors and agents from and against any and all damages, liabilities, losses, taxes, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by any of them in connection with any Third Party Claim (as defined below) (each, a “Loss” and, collectively, the “Losses”) relating to, arising out of or resulting from or based on (i) Recipient’s material breach of this Agreement or (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Recipient, except in each case of (i) or (ii) to the extent such Losses are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 2.7(b).

(b) Provider hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Recipient and its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, subcontractors and agents from and against any and all Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from (i) Provider’s breach of this Agreement, (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or (iii) actual or alleged infringement, misappropriation or violation of Intellectual Property arising out of or in connection with the receipt or use of the Transition Services provided by or on behalf of Provider (excluding any actual or alleged infringement, misappropriation or violation of Intellectual Property to the extent caused by (x) any instruction, information, designs, specifications, or other materials provided by Recipient to Provider, (y) use of the Services in combination with any materials or equipment not supplied or specified by Provider or (z) any modifications or changes made to the Services by or on behalf of any Person other than Provider), except in each case of (i), (ii) or (iii) to the extent such Losses are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 2.7(a).

2.8 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If any claim or demand is made by a third party (including any action or proceeding commenced or threatened to be commenced) with respect to which a Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) intends to seek indemnity under Section 2.7 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) indicating, with reasonable specificity, the nature of such Third Party Claim, the basis therefor, and a copy of any documentation received from such third party. A failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice and to tender the defense of any action or proceeding in a timely manner pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) shall not limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party under Section 2.7, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice for indemnity from the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 2.8(a) with respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, undertake to compromise or defend any such Third Party Claim, it shall notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall agree to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement or compromise fully and irrevocably releases the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim and provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding an election of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel, its own cost and expense, and to participate in the defense thereof.

2.9 Modification of Transition Services Procedures.

(a) Without limiting Section 2.4, Provider may make changes from time to time in its standards and procedures for performing the Transition Services, provided that any such change shall not interfere in any material respect with the continued provision or cost of the Transition Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, unless required by Law, Provider shall not implement any substantial or material changes to such standards and procedures in a manner affecting the operation of the Applicable Business unless Recipient agrees in writing to such changes and Provider gives Recipient ten (10) business days to adapt its operations to accommodate such changes to the extent commercially reasonable.

(b) During the term of this Agreement, if Recipient intends to make any changes that may affect the provision of any of the Transition Services, Recipient shall provide Provider with a plan identifying any changes as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case no less than ten (10) business days before implementing such changes; provided, however, that Provider shall not be required to alter the method in which it provides any of the Transition Services or increase the level of any such Transition Services in any material manner except as expressly provided herein; provided, further, however, that the failure of Recipient to provide such notice shall not alter or diminish Provider’s obligations to provide the Transition Services on the terms set forth herein except where the failure to provide notice has materially increased Provider’s cost or burden to provide such Transition Service.

2.10 Cooperation. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to reasonably cooperate and cause each of their respective Representatives to reasonably cooperate in a professional and workmanlike manner with each other to the extent necessary to assist the other Party in performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including with respect to the provision and receipt of the Transition Services. Such cooperation shall include exchanging information relevant to and reasonably necessary for the provision or receipt of the Transition Services hereunder and the performance of such other duties and tasks as may be reasonably required for the provision or receipt of the Transition Services. Without limiting the foregoing:

(a) Recipient shall permit Provider and its Representatives reasonable access during regular business hours (or otherwise upon reasonable prior notice) to any data, records and personnel involved in receiving or overseeing the Transition Services as reasonably required by Provider to facilitate Provider’s performance of this Agreement. Any such data and records shall be subject to Article V. Before the Parties exchange any Personal Information in connection with the Transition Services, the Parties will enter into a data processing agreement in accordance with applicable Laws.

(b) Provider shall obtain at its sole cost and expense any consents, licenses, waivers or approvals necessary to permit Provider to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall Provider be relieved of its obligation to provide the relevant part of any Transition Services to the extent that Provider is unable to obtain necessary third party consents, licenses, waivers or approvals relating to such part of the Transition Services.

(c) Recipient shall obtain all necessary consents, licenses, waivers and approvals necessary for it to receive the Transition Services and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Article III

COMPENSATION

As consideration for the Transition Services, Recipient shall pay to Provider the amount specified for each such Transition Service as set forth in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, including any “pass-through costs” expressly identified as such in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable. The fees set forth on Schedule A and Schedule B will be equitably reduced if any Transition Service is suspended, terminated or removed from the scope of this Agreement and will be equitably prorated for partial months. In addition, Recipient shall reimburse Provider (upon receipt of applicable receipts and other reasonable supporting documentation if requested by Provider) for all reasonable documented out of pocket costs of Provider in connection with performance of the Transition Services by Provider, including: (a) shipping and transportation costs (including the cost of any insurance related thereto), duties and other taxes (excluding taxes on Provider’s income); (b) travel-related costs, (c) out of pocket costs or expenses incurred with third parties by Provider, its Affiliates or subcontractors, including for the extraction, conversion and transfer of data and (d) any other out of pocket costs and expenses incurred with third parties described herein as reimbursable by Provider (the “Reimbursable Expenses”); provided that if any particular Reimbursable Expense exceeds Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500), Provider must obtain Recipient’s consent prior to any obligation of Recipient to reimburse Provider for such Reimbursable Expense; provided, further that until Recipient consents to such Reimbursable Expenses exceeding Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500), Provider shall not be required to provide the relevant part of the Transition Services for which such Reimbursable Expenses exceeding Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500) is necessary.

3.2 Invoices. Provider shall, on a monthly basis within fifteen days of the last day of each calendar month, submit a single itemized invoice to Recipient for all Transition Services provided to Recipient during such month.

3.3 Payment of Invoices.

(a) Recipient shall pay any undisputed invoice for Transition Services promptly but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of such invoice and such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as shall have been notified in writing to Recipient by Provider. Payment of all invoices in respect of the Transition Services shall be made by check or electronic funds transmission in U.S. Dollars, without any offset or deduction of any nature whatsoever (except that offset or deduction may be made in regard to other invoiced amounts due under this Agreement or to the extent of a dispute in good faith concerning amounts due under this Agreement). All payments shall be made to the account designated by Provider to Recipient.

(b) If any payment is not paid when due (except to the extent disputed in good faith) and Recipient does not make such payment within sixty (60) days of receiving a past-due notice from Provider, Provider shall have the right, without any liability to Recipient, or anyone claiming by or through Recipient, to, upon written notice to Recipient, immediately cease providing any or all of the Transition Services provided by Provider to Recipient or to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, which right may be exercised by Provider in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the above, Provider shall not cease providing any Transition Service or terminate this Agreement if such lack of payment is due to a good faith dispute, the details of which Recipient has indicated to Provider in writing.

3.4 Taxes. The amount specified for each Transition Service as set forth in Schedule A and Schedule B does not include any applicable sales, use, transfer, value-added, goods or services Taxes or similar Taxes imposed or assessed on the provision of the Transition Services (other than gross-receipts based Taxes, and not including any Taxes based upon or calculated by reference to net income, receipts or capital) (“Sales and Services Taxes”), and such Sales and Services Taxes will be separately stated on the relevant invoice. Provider shall be entitled to charge and collect from the Recipient an additional amount equal to such Sales and Service Taxes and shall timely remit such Taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. Provider shall be responsible for any Losses (including any deficiency, interest and penalties) imposed as a result of a failure to timely remit such Taxes if and only if Recipient timely remits such additional amount to Provider; otherwise Recipient shall be responsible for such Losses and shall hold Provider harmless in respect of them. Provider shall cooperate with the Recipient and take any requested action in order to minimize any Sales and Services Taxes imposed on the sale of the Transition Services, including timely providing resale or other applicable Tax exemption certificates or other documentation necessary to support Tax exemption.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made by a third party pursuant to clause (ii), (iii), (v) or (vi) above, each Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify (to the extent permissible by Law) the Party to whom the Confidential Information relates of the existence of such request, demand or disclosure requirement and shall provide such affected Party a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which such Party will cooperate in obtaining to the extent reasonably practicable.

This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the earliest of (a) the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Article VI or (b) the expiration of the last Service Period, such that Provider is no longer obligated to provide any Transition Services pursuant to this Agreement (the “Term”). If no expiration date is provided for any Transition Service, then such Transition Service will terminate twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, provided that Recipient shall have the right to an extension of each or any Transition Service for up to six (6) months by providing written notice to Provider in advance of the original termination date for such Transition Service if, prior to such request for extension, Recipient has used commercially reasonable efforts to establish analogous capabilities of its own. The Parties will discuss in good faith any subsequent requests to further extend the Transition Services.

6.2 Termination of Services.

(a) Recipient may, at any time prior to the end of the Service Period for any Transition Service(s) and upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Provider, terminate any Transition Service(s) or this Agreement in its entirety, whereupon, from and after the date of termination specified in such written notice, Provider’s obligation to provide such Transition Service(s) to Recipient shall cease and Recipient shall have no obligation to pay Provider for such Transition Service(s); provided that if termination of any Transition Service would materially inhibit Provider’s ability to provide or prevents Provider from providing any other Transition Services as indicated in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable (“Bundled Services”), such other Bundled Services shall also shall be deemed terminated, subject to Recipient’s prior written consent of such termination; and provided further that partial reduction of any specific Transition Service may only be made with the prior written consent of Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 3.3(b), in the event that either Party breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement (the “Breaching Party”), the other Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (such thirty (30) day period, the “Notice Period”) to the Breaching Party, specifying the breach and its claim of right to terminate; provided, that the termination of this Agreement shall not become effective at the end of the Notice Period if (i) the Breaching Party cures such breach during the Notice Period or (ii) such breach cannot be cured during the Notice Period and the Breaching Party commences and diligently pursues actions to cure such breach within the Notice Period, in which case the Breaching Party shall have an additional thirty (30) day period to cure such breach before such termination shall become effective.

(c) Either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety immediately upon written notice to the other Party if the other Party (i) files in any court or with any other Governmental Authority, pursuant to any Law of any state or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of such other Party or of its assets; (ii) is served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof; (iii) consents to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of such other Party or for any substantial part of its property or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iv) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or (v) has issued or levied against its property any judgment, writ, warrant of attachment or execution or similar process that represents a substantial portion of its property.

(d) Any Transition Service, or this Agreement in its entirety, may be terminated upon the mutual written agreement of Provider and Recipient at any time.

6.3 Termination of Obligations. Recipient specifically agrees and acknowledges that all obligations of Provider to provide each Transition Service shall immediately cease upon the expiration of the Service Period (as may be extended as set forth in this Agreement) for such Transition Service, and Provider’s obligations to provide all of the Transition Services shall immediately cease upon termination of this Agreement. Recipient shall bear sole responsibility for instituting permanent services, or obtaining replacement services, in respect of any Transition Service terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof, and, except to the extent provided in the Schedules, Provider shall bear no liability for Recipient’s failure to implement or obtain such service or for any difficulties in transitioning from the Transition Service to such permanent or replacement service.

6.4 Accrued Rights. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued to the benefit of a Party prior to such termination or expiration. Such termination or expiration shall not relieve a Party from obligations that are expressly indicated to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

6.5 Surviving Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Article I, Article V and Article VII and Sections 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.2 (solely with respect to accrued, unpaid fees as of such termination or expiration), 3.3 (solely with respect to accrued, unpaid fees as of such termination or expiration), 4.1, 4.2(b)(ii), 6.3 and 6.5 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

7.3 Complete Agreement; Construction. This Agreement, including the Schedules hereto, shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all previous negotiations, commitments and writings with respect to such subject matter.

7.14 Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Any proceeding or action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby must be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally (i) consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such proceeding or action, (ii) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, (iii) agrees that all claims in respect of the proceeding or action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and (iv) agrees not to bring any proceeding or action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court.

7.17 Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed by the Parties or any third party as creating a partnership or the relationship of principal and agent or joint venturer between the Parties, it being understood and agreed that no provision contained herein, and no act of the Parties, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the Parties other than the relationship of Provider and Recipient of the Transition Services nor be deemed to vest any rights, interests or claims in any third parties.

Recipient may request a certified audit of Provider’s Service Records from the date of commencement of the Transition Services to be performed by an independent certified public accountant which (a) is reasonably acceptable to Provider and (b) may not be compensated on a contingency basis or otherwise have any financial interest in the outcome of such audit. Any such audit shall be at the expense of Recipient. Recipient may not request such an audit more than one (1) time within any twelve (12) month period with respect to any particular Transition Service. The accountant shall be required to execute a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement if requested by Provider and shall hold all information confidential. The accountant may reveal to Recipient only the amounts of any underpayment or under reimbursement, or overbilling, as applicable. The accountant shall provide to Provider a final report of its work, including both overbilling and underpayment information. The audit shall take place during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice and such accountant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the normal business activities of Provider. If any audit reveals an overpayment by Recipient, Provider shall promptly refund to Recipient any such overpayment. In addition, if any audit reveals an overpayment by Recipient exceeding fifteen percent (15%) during the audited period, Provider shall reimburse Recipient for the costs of conducting such audit; provided, however, in no event shall such costs exceed $25,000. If any audit reveals an underpayment by Recipient, Recipient shall promptly pay Provider such underpayment amount.
