All Services shall be for the sole use and benefit of the respective Recipient and its respective Affiliates.

Section 2.2 Duration of Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each of Autoliv and Veoneer shall provide or cause to be provided to the respective Recipients or their Affiliates, as applicable, each Service from the start date specified in the applicable Service Schedule until the earliest to occur of, with respect to each such Service, (a) the expiration of the term for such Service (or, subject to the terms of Section 7.1(c), the expiration of any Service Extension) as set forth on the applicable Service Schedule; (b) the date on which such Service is terminated under Section 7.1(b); or (c) the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Additional Services and Service Adjustments.

(a) If, within thirty (30) days after the Distribution Date, either Party (i) identifies a service that (x) the Autoliv Group provided to the Veoneer Business prior to the Distribution Date that Veoneer reasonably needs in order for the Veoneer Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the Veoneer Business operated prior to the Distribution Date, and such service was not included on Schedule A (other than because the Parties agreed in writing that such service shall not be provided), or (y) the Veoneer Business or members of the Veoneer Group provided to the Autoliv Group prior to the Distribution Date that Autoliv reasonably needs in order for the Autoliv Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the Autoliv Business operated prior to the Distribution Date, and such service was not included on Schedule B (other than because the Parties agreed in writing that such service shall not be provided), and (ii) provides a written change request (in the form agreed by the Parties) to the other Party requesting such additional services within thirty (30) days after the Distribution Date, then such other Party shall negotiate in good faith to provide such

requested additional services (such requested additional services, the “Additional Services”); provided, however, that neither Party shall be obligated to provide any Additional Service (w) if such services could, in the judgment of either Party, impact the treatment of the Reorganization or the Distribution under the federal income tax laws, (x) if it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such Additional Service, (y) if the provision of such Additional Service would significantly disrupt the operation of its businesses or (z) if the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms thereof (including with respect to Service Charges therefor). If the Parties agree to any such Additional Service, then the Parties shall document such terms in a Service Schedule to be incorporated in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable. The Service Schedule shall describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, service period(s), and other terms applicable to such Additional Services. Each such Service Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the 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.

(b) After the Distribution Date, if a Provider or Recipient desires to adjust any Services or change the manner in which Services are provided (such adjustments and changes, “Service Adjustments”), then such Provider or Recipient, as applicable, will provide a written change request (in the form agreed by the Parties) to the other Party, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to make such Service Adjustments, provided that, if a Service Adjustment requested by a Recipient (i) is an increase, relative to historical levels prior to the Distribution Date, to the volume, amount, level or frequency, as applicable, of any Service provided by a Provider, or is an increase to the volumes specified in the applicable Service Schedule, and (ii) such increase is reasonably determined by the Recipient as necessary for the Recipient to operate its businesses (such increases, “Service Increases”), then such Provider shall negotiate in good faith to provide such Service Increase; provided, however, that the Provider shall not be obligated to provide any Service Increase if the Provider and the Recipient are unable to reach agreement on the terms thereof (including with respect to Service Charges therefor) or if such services could, in the judgment of either Party, impact the treatment of the Reorganization or the Distribution under the federal income tax laws; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if such higher volume or quantity results from fluctuations occurring in the ordinary course of business of the Recipient, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such requested higher volume or quantity. If the Parties agree to any Service Adjustment, then the Parties shall document such terms in an amendment to the applicable Service Schedule. Each amended Service Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Service Adjustments set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.4 New Services. If, within thirty (30) days after the Distribution Date, a Party desires the other Party to provide additional or different services which such other Party is not expressly obligated to provide under this Agreement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Services or Service Adjustments, the “New Services”), then such Party will provide a written change request (in the form agreed by the Parties) to the other Party within thirty (30) days after the Distribution Date. The Party receiving such request shall negotiate in good faith to provide such New Service; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to provide any New Services, including because the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms thereof (including with respect to Service Charges therefor) or if such services could, in the judgment of either Party, impact the treatment of the Reorganization or the Distribution under the federal income tax laws. If the Parties agree to any such New Service, then the Parties shall document such terms in a Service Schedule to be incorporated in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable. The Service Schedule shall describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, service period(s), termination provisions and other terms applicable to such New Services. Each supplement to the applicable Service Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this

Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the New Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Parties shall in good faith determine any costs and expenses, including any start-up costs and expenses, which would be incurred by the Provider in connection with the provision of such New Service, which costs and expenses shall be borne solely by the Recipient.

Section 2.5 Services Not Included. No Services provided under this Agreement shall be construed as accounting, legal or tax advice or shall create any fiduciary obligations on the part of any Provider or any of its Affiliates to any Person, including to the Recipient or any of its Affiliates, and the Recipient shall not rely on, or construe, any Services rendered by or on behalf of the Provider as such professional advice.

Section 2.6 Contract Management.

(a) TSA Owners. Each Service Schedule sets forth an initial Autoliv and Veoneer representative (each, a “TSA Owner”) who will be responsible for the initial coordination of the Services provided under the applicable Service Schedule. The TSA Owners will keep their respective TSA Manager reasonably informed of any issues that arise with respect to the Services provided under their applicable Service Schedule. Each Party shall notify the other of the appointment of a different TSA Owner in accordance with Section 9.4, and Schedule A and Schedule B shall be updated accordingly.

(b) TSA Managers. Autoliv and Veoneer have designated the respective individuals set forth in Schedule C to act as its services manager (the “Autoliv TSA Manager” and “Veoneer TSA Manager,” respectively) for the Services provided pursuant to this Agreement. The TSA Managers will be responsible for coordinating and managing the delivery of all Services provided by the applicable Party and have authority to act on such Party’s behalf with respect to matters relating to the provision of the Services under this Agreement. The TSA Managers will work with the personnel of their respective Group and their respective TSA Owners to periodically address any issues and other matters raised by such personnel relating to the provision of the Services. Each Party shall notify the other of the appointment of a different TSA Manager in accordance with Section 9.4, and Schedule C shall be updated accordingly.

(c) Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 9.4, communications between the Parties regarding routine matters under this Agreement shall be made through the TSA Owners and, if necessary, the TSA Managers.

Section 2.7 Personnel.

(a) The Provider of any Service will make available to the Recipient of such Service such personnel as Provider determines may be necessary to provide such Service. Except as otherwise set forth in a Service Schedule, the Provider will have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) designate which personnel it will assign to perform such Service and (ii) remove and replace such personnel at any time; provided, further, that the Provider will use its commercially reasonable efforts to limit the disruption to the Recipient in the transition of the Services to different personnel.

(b) In the event that the provision of any Service by the Provider requires the cooperation and services of the personnel of the Recipient, the Recipient will make available to the Provider such personnel (who shall be appropriately qualified for purposes of so supporting the provision of such Service by the Provider) as may be necessary for the Provider to provide such Service. The Recipient

will have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) designate which personnel it will make available to the Provider in connection with the provision of such Service and (ii) remove and replace such personnel at any time; provided, further, that the Recipient will use its commercially reasonable efforts to limit the disruption to the Provider in the transition of such personnel.

(c) All employees and representatives of any Provider who provide Services under this Agreement shall be deemed for purposes of all compensation, employment, and employee benefits matters to be employees or representatives of such Provider and not employees or representatives of the Recipient or any of its Affiliates. The Provider of any Service under this Agreement shall be solely responsible for (i) payment of wages and provision of employee benefits to all employees and representatives of such Provider who provide Services under this Agreement, and (ii) ensuring compliance with applicable employment and employee benefits Laws with respect to such employees and representatives. In performing the Services, such employees and representatives shall be under the direction, control and supervision of the Provider (and not the Recipient) and Provider shall have the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to the employment (including termination of employment), assignment and compensation of such employees and representatives.

(d) A Provider may hire or engage one or more subcontractors to perform any or all of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such Provider shall use the same degree of care in selecting any such subcontractor as it would if such contractor was being retained to provide similar services to the Provider, and (ii) such Provider shall in all cases remain primarily responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the scope of the Services, the standard for services as set forth herein and the content of the Services provided to the Recipient.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall grant the Provider, or its employees, agents and third-party providers that are performing the Services, the right directly or indirectly to control or direct the operations of the Recipient or any member of its Group. Such employees, agents and third-party providers shall not be required to report to the management of the Recipient or be deemed to be under the management or direction of the Recipient. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth herein as a Service (including any Additional Services, Service Adjustments or New Services) or otherwise expressly set forth in the Master Transfer Agreement, the Distribution Agreement, another Transaction Document or any other applicable agreement, no Provider or any member of its Group shall be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any service or goods to any Recipient or any member of its Group.

Section 2.8 Non-Exclusivity. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude any Recipient from obtaining, in whole or in part, services of any nature that may be obtainable from the Provider, from its own employees or from providers other than the Provider.

ARTICLE III

ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

Section 3.1 Computer-Based and Other Resources. Each Party and its Subsidiaries shall cause all of their personnel having access to the computer software, networks, hardware, technology or computer-based resources of the other Party and its Subsidiaries in connection with the performance, receipt or delivery of a Service, to comply with all security guidelines (including physical security, network access, internet security, confidentiality and personal data security guidelines) of such other Party and its Affiliates of which written notice is provided by such other Party. Each Party shall ensure that the access contemplated by this Section 3.1 shall be used by its personnel only for the purposes contemplated by, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement.

(a) Veoneer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, allow Autoliv and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives reasonable access to the facilities of Veoneer and its Subsidiaries necessary for Autoliv to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Autoliv shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, allow Veoneer and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives reasonable access to the facilities of Autoliv and its Subsidiaries necessary for Veoneer to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the other rights of access of the Parties under this Agreement, each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford, following not less than five (5) business days’ prior written notice from the other Party and during normal business hours, (i) the other Party, its Subsidiaries and Representatives escorted access to the facilities and personnel of the relevant Providers and (ii) a third-party designated by the other Party and approved by the relevant Provider (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), reasonable access to the information, systems and infrastructure of the Provider, in each case as reasonably necessary for the other Party to verify the Provider’s compliance with its obligations hereunder and the adequacy of internal controls over information technology, reporting of financial data and related processes employed in connection with the Services, including in connection with verifying compliance with Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002; provided, however, (A) such access shall not unreasonably interfere with any of the business or operations of such Provider, (B) if a Party determines that providing such access could violate any applicable Law or agreement or waive any attorney-client privilege, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit such access in a manner that avoids each of such harm and consequence, (C) if a Party determines that providing such access requires a third-party consent, such access shall be subject to the receipt of such third-party consent, and (D) any third-party that is provided access pursuant to this Section will be required to execute a non-disclosure agreement that restricts such third-party from disclosing confidential information of the audited Provider to the Party that engaged such third-party, except to the extent required to report on the extent to which the audited Provider is not in compliance with its obligations or its controls are not adequate.

(d) Except as otherwise permitted by the other Party in writing, each Party shall permit only its authorized Representatives, contractors, invitees or licensees to access the other Party’s facilities.

Section 3.3 Cooperation. It is understood that it will require the significant efforts of both Parties to implement this Agreement and to ensure performance of this Agreement by the Parties at the agreed-upon levels in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Parties will cooperate, acting in good faith and using commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a smooth and orderly transition of the Services provided under this Agreement from the Provider to the Recipient (including, as applicable, the assignment or transfer of the rights and obligations under any third-party contracts relating to the Services); provided, however, that this Section 3.3 shall not require either Party to incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses unless and except as expressly provided in a Service Schedule or elsewhere in this Agreement or otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties.

Section 3.4 Software License Terms.

(a) Software that is made available by a Provider to a Recipient in connection with any Service (any such Software being referred to herein as “TSA-Licensed Software”) provided hereunder will be subject to the terms set forth in this Section 3.4 except as otherwise provided in the applicable Service Schedule. The Provider hereby grants to the Recipient a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, in object code form, any TSA-Licensed Software that is made available by the Provider pursuant to a Service Schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, the Provider that makes available any TSA-Licensed Software in connection with the provision of any Service retains the unrestricted right to enhance or otherwise modify such TSA-Licensed Software at any time, provided that such enhancements or other modifications do not disrupt the provision of such Service to the Recipient.

(b) The Recipient may not exceed the number of licenses, agents, tiers, nodes, seats, or other use restrictions or authorizations, if any, specified in the applicable Service Schedule. Some TSA-Licensed Software may require license keys or contain other technical protection measures. The Recipient acknowledges that the Provider may monitor the Recipient’s compliance with use restrictions and authorizations remotely, or otherwise. If the Provider makes a license management program available which records and reports license usage information, the Recipient agrees to appropriately install, configure and execute such license management program.

(c) Unless otherwise permitted by the Provider, the Recipient may only make copies or adaptations of the TSA-Licensed Software for archival purposes or when copying or adaptation is an essential step in the authorized use of TSA-Licensed Software. If the Recipient makes a copy for backup purposes and installs such copy on a backup device, the Recipient may not operate such backup installation of the TSA-Licensed Software without paying an additional license fee, except in cases where the original device becomes inoperable. If a copy is activated on a backup device in response to failure of the original device, the use on the backup device must be discontinued when the original or replacement device becomes operable. The Recipient may not copy the TSA-Licensed Software onto or otherwise use or make it available on, to, or through any public or external distributed network. Licenses that allow use over the Recipient’s intranet require restricted access by authorized users only.

(d) The Recipient must reproduce all copyright notices that appear in or on the TSA-Licensed Software (including documentation) on all permitted copies or adaptations. Copies of documentation are limited to internal use.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, certain TSA-Licensed Software may be licensed under the applicable Service Schedule for use only on a computer system owned, controlled, or operated by or solely on behalf of the Recipient and may be further identified by the Provider by the combination of a unique number and a specific system type (“Designated System”) and such license will terminate in the event of a change in either the system number or system type, an unauthorized relocation, or if the Designated System ceases to be within the possession or control of the Recipient.

(f) The Recipient will not modify, reverse engineer, disassemble, decrypt, decompile, or make derivative works of the TSA-Licensed Software. Where the Recipient has other rights mandated under statute, the Recipient will provide the Provider with reasonably detailed information regarding any intended modifications, reverse engineering, disassembly, decryption, or decompilation and the purposes therefor.

(g) Upon expiration or termination of the Service Schedule under which TSA-Licensed Software is made available, the Recipient will destroy the TSA-Licensed Software. The Recipient will remove and destroy or return to the Provider any copies of the TSA-Licensed Software that are merged into adaptations, except for individual pieces of data in the Recipient’s database. The Recipient will provide certification of the destruction of TSA-Licensed Software, and copies thereof, to the Provider. The Recipient may retain one copy of the TSA-Licensed Software subsequent to expiration or termination solely for archival purposes.

(h) The Recipient may not sublicense, assign, transfer, rent, or lease the TSA-Licensed Software to any other person except as permitted in this Section 3.4.

(i) The Recipient agrees that the Provider may engage a third-party designated by the Provider and approved by the Recipient (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to audit the Recipient’s compliance with the Software License terms. Any such audit will be at the Provider’s expense, require reasonable notice, and will be performed during normal business hours. Such third-party will be required to execute a non-disclosure agreement that restricts such third-party from disclosing confidential information of the Recipient to the Provider, except to the extent required to report on the extent to which the Recipient is not in compliance with the Software License terms.

Section 3.5 Cybersecurity Services Standards and Policies. Each of the Parties agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it and its Affiliates will adhere to (a) with respect to any Autoliv information or TSA-Licensed Software licensed by Autoliv, the Autoliv Information Security Policy and Autoliv Standard for Information Technology existing as of the Effective Date and (b) with respect to any Veoneer information or any TSA-Licensed Software licensed by Veoneer, the Veoneer Information Security Policy and Veoneer Standard for Information Technology, as they may hereafter be amended from time to time.

Section 3.6 Shared Applications. The Parties acknowledge that they or their respective Affiliates may be required in connection with the provision or receipt of any Service to access or use a software application and related data that is being accessed or used concurrently by the other Party or the other Party’s Affiliates. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate to ensure that such concurrent use or access of such applications and related data does not result in the disruption of either Party’s or its Affiliates business activities.

Section 3.7 Cooperation Regarding Routine Requests for Information and Certain Services.

(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties and their Affiliates will require, in the conduct of transition services, documents or information in the possession of the other Party or the other Party’s Affiliates from time to time during the term of this Agreement. Without limiting any Party’s obligations under any other provision of this Agreement with respect to cooperation and the provision of information or access to books and records, each Party agrees that it and its Affiliates will reasonably cooperate with the other Party and the other Party’s Affiliates with respect to routine requests for documents or information that the other Party and the other Party’s Affiliates reasonably may make from time to time, including promptly responding to any telephonic requests for information that the other Party or the other Party’s Affiliates may make from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3.7(a) requires a Party to provide any consulting or other services to the requesting Party or the requesting Party’s Affiliates or to incur any expenses (other than the expense associated with its personnel responding to requests for information).

(b) Each Party agrees that, in addition to any other obligations it may have under this Agreement (including any Service Schedule), the Master Transfer Agreement, the Distribution Agreement or any other Transaction Document, it and its Affiliates will use commercially reasonable efforts to make available its personnel to provide to the other Party and the other Party’s Affiliates such additional routine services and support, including the provision of Information, as may be reasonably requested by the other Party or the other Party’s Affiliates from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of time expended by any individual providing such services and support represents or is expected to represent more than twenty percent (20%) of such individual’s work time during a calendar month, then the Parties will enter into a Service Schedule to be incorporated in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, that will describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, service period(s), payment and other terms applicable thereto. None of the services and support, including the provision of Information, provided under this Section 3.7(b) shall include the licensing or assignment of any Intellectual Property except to the extent expressly provided in a Service Schedule entered into pursuant to this Section 3.7(b).

ARTICLE IV

SERVICE FEES; TAXES

Section 4.1 Costs and Disbursements.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Service Schedule, the Recipient of a Service shall pay to the Provider of such Service a fee for the Service (each fee constituting a “Service Charge”). The Service Charge will be (i) the Provider’s allocable cost to provide the Services under the Service Schedule plus the Markup, (ii) calculated using another pricing methodology, as specified in the applicable Service Schedule, or (iii) with respect to any real estate, the fair market value for the use of such real estate.

(b) During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Service Charge for any Service may increase or decrease to the extent of: (i) any increases or decreases mutually agreed to by the Parties, (ii) any Service Charges applicable to any Additional Services, Service Adjustments or New Services, (iii) any increase in the applicable Service Charge during a Service Extension, in accordance with Section 7.1(c), and (iv) any increase in the rates or charges imposed by any unaffiliated third-party provider that is providing Services. The Provider shall, upon receipt of a request from the Recipient, provide the Recipient with appropriate documentation, together with any invoice for Service Charges, to support the calculation of such Service Charges.

(c) For the time period from the date of this Agreement through September 30, 2018, the Service Charges for the Services provided under this Agreement shall be as set forth in Annex 1 to this Agreement, which is based on an estimate of the Service Charges for the Services to be provided during this time period calculated in accordance with Section 4.1(a). For the remainder of the term of this Agreement, in advance of each quarter, the Parties will agree on an update to the Service Charges set forth in Annex 1 for the upcoming quarter, based on an estimate of the Service Charges for the Services to be provided under this Agreement for such quarter. Annex 1 may also be updated or amended from time to time as mutually agreed to by the Parties, and shall be updated or amended as necessary to reflect the Service Charges for any Additional Services, Service Adjustments or New Services. The Service Charges will be invoiced on a quarterly basis, or on such other frequency as may be provided in the applicable Service Schedule (or mutually agreed by the Parties), and the Provider shall provide with the applicable invoice all substantiation of allocable costs that the Recipient may reasonably request.

(d) The Provider will provide an invoice to the Recipient for the Service Charges for the period covered by such invoice. The Recipient shall pay the amounts stated as due in each invoice by wire transfer (or such other method of payment as may be agreed between the Parties) to the Provider within thirty (30) days of the receipt of each such invoice, including appropriate documentation as

described herein, as instructed by the Provider. The Recipient shall notify the Provider promptly, and in no event later than thirty (30) days following receipt of the Provider’s invoice, of any disputed amounts. If the Recipient does not notify the Provider of any disputed amounts within such thirty (30)-day period, then Recipient will be deemed to have accepted the Provider’s invoice. Any such Dispute shall be handled in accordance with Article VIII. The Recipient shall pay any undisputed amount in accordance with this Section 4.1(d). All amounts due and payable hereunder shall be invoiced and paid in (i) U.S. dollars or (ii) if the Parties so agree, another currency agreed by the Parties. If required any applicable Law or otherwise reasonably requested by a Party or an Affiliate thereof, any Provider and any Recipient may enter into a local country agreement providing for the performance of Services. Section 4.2 shall apply to these invoices accordingly.

(e) Subject to the confidentiality provisions applicable pursuant to Section 5.4, each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice from the other Party, any information within such Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession that the requesting Party reasonably requests in connection with any Services being provided to such requesting Party by an unaffiliated third-party provider, including any applicable invoices, agreements documenting the arrangements between such third-party provider and the Provider and other supporting documentation; provided, however, that each Party shall make no more than one (1) such request during any fiscal quarter.

(f) Any costs and expenses incurred by either Party in connection with obtaining any third-party consent contemplated by Section 5.1(b) that is required to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service shall be borne by the Recipient.

Section 4.2 Tax Matters.

(a) Without limiting any provisions of this Agreement, the Service Charges (and prices charged therefor) are exclusive of, and the Recipient shall be responsible for, (i) all excise, sales, use, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar transaction taxes, (ii) any value added, goods and services or similar recoverable transaction taxes (“VAT”) and (iii) any related interest and penalties (collectively, “Transaction Taxes”) that Provider is not at fault for causing, in each case imposed or assessed as a result of the provision of Services by the Provider. To the extent that cross-border Services to be performed hereunder fall within Article 44 of the EU VAT Directive or the relevant equivalent national provision and the Provider is not required to charge VAT, the Recipient agrees that it will itself account for VAT in its own jurisdiction on the performance of such cross-border Services made to it hereunder and will provide to the Provider a valid VAT registration number, certificate (or equivalent documentation) in the jurisdiction with respect to the country or region of receipt of such cross-border Services, where required by applicable Law. The Provider will issue legally compliant invoices to the Recipient usable by the Recipient to recover (by way of credit or refund) Transaction Taxes in jurisdictions where they are recoverable. In the event a Governmental Authority questions the Transaction Tax treatment of the Services provided, the Provider and the Recipient will work together to issue corrected invoices where applicable. The Recipient and the Provider agree to utilize commercially reasonable efforts to collaborate regarding any requests for information, audit, controls or similar requests of the Governmental Authority concerning Transaction Taxes and that involve the Services provided under this Agreement. The Provider and the Recipient agree to take commercially reasonable actions to cooperate in obtaining any refund, return or rebate, or applying zero-rating for Services giving rise to any Transaction Taxes, including filing any necessary exemption or other similar forms or providing valid VAT identification numbers or other relevant registration numbers, certificates or other similar documents. The Recipient shall promptly reimburse the Provider for any costs incurred by the Provider or its Affiliates in connection with the Recipient obtaining a

refund, return, rebate or the like of any Transaction Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, any applicable gross receipts-based or net income-based taxes imposed on payments received by Provider shall be borne by the Provider unless the Provider is required by Law to collect or obtain, or allowed to separately invoice for and collect or obtain, reimbursement of such taxes from the Recipient.

(b) The Recipient shall be entitled to deduct and withhold Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld on payments made to the Provider pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent any amounts are so withheld, the Recipient shall (i) pay such deducted and withheld amount to the proper Governmental Authority and (ii) upon request, promptly provide to the Provider evidence of such payment to such Governmental Authority. The Provider shall, prior to the date of any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement, make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Recipient any certificate or other documentary evidence (A) required by any applicable Law or (B) which the Provider is entitled by any applicable Law to provide in order to reduce the amount of any Taxes that may be deducted or withheld from such payment, and the Recipient agrees to accept and act in reliance on any such duly and properly executed certificate or other applicable documentary evidence to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 4.3 No Right to Set-Off. Subject to the Recipient’s right to withhold disputed amounts in accordance with Section 4.1(e), the Recipient shall timely pay the full amount of Service Charges and shall not set off, counterclaim or otherwise withhold any amount owed to the Provider under this Agreement on account of any obligation owed by the Provider to the Recipient.

ARTICLE V

STANDARD FOR SERVICE

Section 5.1 Standard for Service.

(a) Each Provider agrees (i) to perform any Services that it provides hereunder with substantially the same nature, quality, standard of care and service levels at which the same or similar services were performed by or on behalf of such Provider prior to the Distribution or, if not so previously provided, then substantially similar to those which are applicable to similar services provided to the Provider or such Provider’s Affiliates or other business units and (ii) upon receipt of written notice from the Recipient identifying any outage, interruption or other failure of any Service, to respond to such outage, interruption or other failure of such Service in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner in which such Provider or its Affiliates responded to any outage, interruption or other failure of the same or similar services prior to the Distribution or, with respect to services for which same or similar services were not provided prior to the Distribution, in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner in which such Provider or its Affiliates responds with respect to internally provided services. The Parties acknowledge that an outage, interruption or other failure of any Service shall not be deemed to be a breach of the provisions of this Section 5.1(a) so long as the applicable Provider complies with the foregoing clause (ii).

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent that the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of applicable Law or any existing contract or agreement with a third-party. If the Provider is or becomes aware of any potential violation on the part of the Provider, the Provider shall promptly send a written notice to the Recipient of any such potential violation. The Parties each agree to cooperate 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 the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 5.1(a), subject to Section 4.1(g). If, with respect to a

Service, the Parties, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to obtain a required third-party consent or the performance of such Service by the Provider would continue to constitute a violation of applicable Law, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Services in a manner as closely as possible to the standards described in Section 5.1(a) that would not constitute a violation of applicable Law or any existing contract or agreement with a third-party.

Section 5.2 Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AS-IS, THAT EACH RECIPIENT ASSUMES ALL RISKS AND LIABILITIES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ITS USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES AND EACH PROVIDER, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT THERETO. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PROVIDER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE SERVICES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IN REGARD TO QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, NONINFRINGEMENT, COMMERCIAL UTILITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF ANY SERVICE FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Section 5.3 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance and its subcontractors’ compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement. No Party shall knowingly take any action in violation of any such applicable Law that results in liability being imposed on the other Party.

Section 5.4 Confidentiality. Each Party agrees that the data, information and documents relating to the other Party’s business, affairs or finances which come into its possession pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 6.9 of the Distribution Agreement.

(ii) A Provider may terminate this Agreement with respect to one or more Services, in whole but not in part, at any time upon prior written notice to the Recipient if the Recipient has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Services, including making payment of Service Charges when due, and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the Recipient of a written notice of such failure from the Provider.

(iii) The relevant Schedule shall be updated to remove any Service terminated under Section 7.1(b)(i) or (ii).

(iv) The Parties acknowledge that there may be interdependencies among the Services being provided under this Agreement that may not be identified on the applicable Service Schedules and agree that, if the Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement is materially and adversely affected by the termination of another Service in accordance with Section 7.1(b)(i)(A), then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Service Schedule relating to such affected continuing Service.

(c) If the Recipient reasonably determines that it will require a Service to continue beyond the duration identified in the applicable Service Schedule or the end of a subsequent extension period, the Recipient may request the Provider to extend such Service for the desired renewal period(s) (each, a “Service Extension”) by written notice to the Provider no less than ninety (90) days prior to end of the then-current Service duration. The Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such Service Extension request; provided, however, that (i) the Service Extensions with respect to each Service Schedule shall not extend the duration of such Service Schedule more than twelve (12) months beyond its original duration (as specified in the applicable Service Schedule) or past Xxxxx 00, 0000, (xx) the Provider will not be in breach of its obligations under this Section 7.1(c) if it is unable to comply with a Service Extension request through the use of commercially reasonable efforts, (iii) each Service Extension is permissible under applicable Law, and (iv) the Provider will not be in breach of its

Section 9.16 Waivers of Default. A waiver by a Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 9.17 Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation, other than a delay or failure to make a payment, 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. 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 event, (a) provide written notice to the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition; and (b) use reasonable best efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable.
