(b) Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance with any and all Laws or rules of professional conduct applicable to its performance under this Agreement. No Party shall take any action in violation of any such applicable Law or rules of professional conduct that results in Liability being imposed on the other Party. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Project Service to the extent that the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of any applicable Law or rules of professional conduct or any existing Contract with a Third Party as of the Effective Date. If Provider is or becomes aware of any such violation of any applicable Law, rules of professional conduct or existing Contract with a Third Party, Provider shall advise Recipient of such violation, subject to any applicable confidentiality obligation, and Provider and Recipient will mutually seek a reasonable alternative that eliminates such violation. If a change in or addition to any applicable Law or rules of professional conduct comes into effect after the Signing Date and causes Provider to incur additional out-of-pocket expenses in providing the Project Services, Provider shall advise Recipient of such additional out-of-pocket expenses, and Provider and Recipient will mutually seek a reasonable alternative that minimizes such additional out-of-pocket expenses. Any additional out-of-pocket expenses arising from the foregoing shall be allocated as agreed by the applicable Recipient.

-10-

(c) The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary Consent or order of, or any exemption by, any Third Party (each, a “Third Party Approval”) required under any Contract with a Third Party to allow Provider to perform, or cause to be performed, all Project Services to be provided by Provider hereunder; provided that neither Party shall be required to accept any terms or conditions, commit to pay any amount, incur any obligation in favor of or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise), regardless of any provision to the contrary in such existing Contract, to any Third Party to obtain any such Third Party Approval. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, if there are any out-of-pocket costs, expenses or Liabilities incurred or required to be incurred by Provider or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with obtaining any such Third Party Approval (including, if agreed by the Parties, the amount paid, obligation incurred or accommodation granted to Third Parties to obtain such Third Party Approval) that is required to allow Provider to perform or cause to be performed such Project Services, then the applicable Recipient of such Project Service shall elect to either (i) pay such out-of-pocket costs, Fees or expenses or assume such Liability, in addition to any other costs, Fees or expenses such Recipient is otherwise required to pay under this Agreement, or (ii) decline such Project Service; provided that the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such out-of-pocket costs, expenses and Liabilities. If the Parties, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to obtain any required Third Party Approval, or mutually decide not to seek or obtain any required Third Party Approval, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith reasonable modifications to the Project Services or the provision of substitute services (which substitute services shall be deemed “Project Services” hereunder), such that such Third Party Approvals are not required. Any incremental out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Provider with respect to such mutually agreed modifications or substitute services shall be allocated as agreed by the Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, subject to Provider complying with its obligations under this Section 2.2(c), Provider will not be in breach of this Agreement or have any Liability to the Recipient Group as a result of any non-performance of, or other effect upon, any applicable Project Services solely as a result of any failure to obtain any such Third Party Approval. If any Third Party Approval is required to be obtained for the receipt of the Project Services as a result of any Third Party relationship, contractual commitment or legal obligation of Recipient or any member of the Recipient Group for the receipt of Project Services, Recipient shall be responsible for obtaining any such Third Party Approval at its sole cost and expense; provided that Provider shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Recipient in obtaining such Consent.

Section 2.3 Fees for Project Services. For each Project Service, Recipient shall compensate Provider at the rates, fees and markups established in the applicable Work Order (collectively, the “Fees”). The Fees set forth in each Work Order shall be consistent with the applicable underlying Client Contract, applicable Law and the methodology set forth on Exhibit C; provided that, during the first three (3) months immediately following the date hereof, either Recipient or Provider may request that the Fees set forth in a Work Order be updated to the extent such Fees are not consistent with the applicable underlying Client Contract and the methodology set forth on Exhibit C. If no compensation or payment arrangement is identified in a Work Order, Provider shall be entitled to receive the direct wage or unburdened hourly rate at which the applicable employee(s) providing such Project Service was billed to Third Parties immediately prior to the date hereof plus a markup of ten percent (10.0%), which hourly rate shall be consistent with the methodology set forth on Exhibit C.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENTS; BILLING; TAXES

Section 4.1 Procedure.

(a) Fees for the Project Services shall be charged to and payable by Recipient. Amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by wire transfer (or such other method of payment as may be agreed between the Parties from time to time) to Provider (as directed in writing by Provider) on a monthly basis, which amounts shall be due within forty-five (45) days of Recipient’s receipt of each such invoice for the Fees. All amounts due and payable hereunder shall be invoiced and paid in the currency of the country of origin of the services at the prevailing exchange rate as of the date of such invoice, or as otherwise set forth in the applicable Work Order.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the request of the Recipient, Provider shall cooperate and provide such reasonably available information and back-up therefor as reasonably requested by the Recipient to the extent reasonably required to permit the Recipient to review, evaluate and verify the amounts set forth in any invoice delivered to the Recipient in connection with the Project Services hereunder. If following any such review, any overpayment above the amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement by the Recipient is determined to have occurred, the Provider shall promptly refund the amounts of such overpayment to the Recipient or credit the amount of such overpayment to Recipient’s next payment due.

(c) Late Payments. Fees not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement (and any other amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and payable hereunder that are not paid within forty-five (45) days of the receipt of such bill, invoice or other demand) shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the prime rate set forth in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was due plus two percent (2.0%) or the maximum rate under applicable Law, whichever is lower (the “Interest Payment”). In addition, Recipient shall indemnify Provider for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred to collect any such unpaid amount.

-13-

Section 4.2 Taxes.

(a) All Fees for Project Services shall be exclusive of any value added, goods and services, sales, use, consumption, excise, service, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation Taxes or similar Taxes (“Transaction Taxes”). Without limiting any provision of this Agreement, Recipient shall be responsible for all Transaction Taxes imposed or assessed with respect to the provision of Project Services by Provider. Provider and Recipient shall cooperate to minimize any Transaction Taxes and in obtaining any refund, return or rebate, or applying an exemption or zero-rating for Project Services giving rise to any Transaction Taxes, including by filing any exemption or other similar forms or providing valid tax identification number or other relevant registration numbers, certificates or other documents. Recipient and Provider shall cooperate regarding any requests for information, audit, or similar request by any taxing authority concerning Transaction Taxes payable with respect to Project Services provided pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) All payments made by or on behalf of Recipient under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, unless Recipient is required to withhold or deduct Taxes under applicable Law. If Recipient is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement, Recipient shall (i) promptly notify Provider of such required deduction or withholding and the amount of payment due from Recipient, (ii) make such deductions or withholdings as are required by applicable Law, and (iii) timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority. Recipient shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to Provider to account for, or otherwise compensate Provider for, any deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes.

ARTICLE V

(a) Without prejudice to Recipient’s rights with respect to Force Majeure, Recipient may from time to time terminate this Agreement with respect to the entirety of any individual Project Service, but not a portion thereof:

(i) by mutual agreement;

-14-

(ii) if a client terminates or suspends (in whole or in part) or otherwise reduces the scope of services to be provided in respect of the applicable Client Contract; or

(iii) if Provider has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Project Service, and such failure shall continue to be uncured for a period of at least thirty (30) days after receipt by Provider of written notice specifying the details of such failure from Recipient (such failure to perform, a “Service Noncompliance”); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Service Noncompliance shall be deemed not to occur to the extent Provider is not able to provide the Project Services or cure such noncompliance as a result of (A) a Force Majeure, (B) Recipient’s breach of this Agreement or (C) Provider’s compliance with applicable Law or rules of professional conduct; provided, further, that Recipient shall not be entitled to terminate the applicable Project Service if, as of the end of such period, there remains a good-faith Dispute between the Parties as to whether any such Service Noncompliance exists or Provider has cured such Service Noncompliance.

(b) Provider may terminate this Agreement with respect to any individual Project Service, at any time upon prior written notice to Recipient if Recipient has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Project Service, including making payment of Fees for such Project Service when due, and such failure shall continue to be uncured for a period of at least thirty (30) days after receipt by Recipient of a written notice of such failure from Provider; provided that Provider shall not be entitled to terminate the applicable Project Service if, as of the end of such period, there remains a good-faith Dispute between the Parties as to whether any such breach exists or Recipient has cured such breach.

(c) Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if the other Party (i) files a petition in bankruptcy, (ii) becomes or is declared insolvent, (iii) becomes the subject of any proceedings (not dismissed within fifteen (15) days of being filed or commenced) related to its liquidation, insolvency or the appointment of a receiver, provisional liquidator, conservator, custodian, trustee or other similar official, (iv) makes an assignment or any general arrangement for the benefit of creditors or (v) takes any corporate action for its winding up or dissolution.

Section 5.3 Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of any Project Service pursuant to this Agreement, Provider shall have no further obligation to provide such terminated Project Service, and Recipient shall have no obligation to pay any Fees relating to such Project Service for the period following the effective date of the termination of such Project Service; provided that Recipient shall remain obligated to Provider for (a) the Fees owed and payable in respect of Project Services provided prior to or on the effective date of the termination of such Project Service and (b) costs and expenses that are reimbursable under the terms of the relevant Work Order. In connection with the termination of any Project Service, the provisions of this Agreement not relating solely to such terminated Project Service shall survive any such termination, and in connection with a termination or the expiration of this Agreement, Article I, this Article V, Article VI, Article VII, Article IX, and any other Section or Article that by its terms is intended to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, and all Liability for all due and unpaid Fees and reimbursable costs and expenses, shall continue to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement indefinitely.

ARTICLE VI

CONFIDENTIALITY; PROTECTIVE ARRANGEMENTS

Section 6.1 Company and SpinCo Obligations. Subject to Section 6.3, until the five (5)-year anniversary of the date of the termination or expiration of this Agreement, each of the Company and SpinCo, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, agrees to hold, and to direct its representatives to hold, in strict confidence, all Confidential Information concerning the other Party or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses that is furnished by such other Party or such other Party’s Subsidiaries or their respective representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, using at least the same standard of care to prevent the public disclosure and dissemination thereof that such Party would apply to its own Confidential Information of like nature and significance. Neither Party shall use any Confidential Information of the other Party other than in connection with this Agreement, except, in each case, to the extent that such Confidential Information is or was (a) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives in violation of this Agreement, (b) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries, which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such Confidential Information or (c) independently developed or generated without reference to or use of the Confidential Information of the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.2 Privacy and Data Protection Laws. In its performance of this Agreement and any applicable Work Order, each Party shall comply with all applicable state, federal and foreign privacy and data protection Laws that are or that may in the future be applicable to the provision of the Project Services under this Agreement.

-15-

Section 6.3 Protective Arrangements. If a Party or any of its Subsidiaries either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) that is required to remain confidential pursuant to Section 6.1, such Party shall notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate, at the expense of the other Party, in seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the other Party. If such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or such Governmental Authority, and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.

ARTICLE VIII

DISPUTES

Section 8.1 Dispute Resolution. In the event of any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to any Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise), calculation or allocation of the costs of any Project Service or otherwise arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement (including the interpretation or validity of this Agreement) (a “Dispute”), the Parties agree that each Party’s Project Manager (or such other persons as the Parties may designate) shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to resolve such Dispute amicably. It is the intent of the Parties to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to resolve expeditiously any Dispute that may arise from time to time on a mutually acceptable negotiated basis.

Section 8.2 Escalation; Mediation.

(a) In furtherance of the foregoing, if such Dispute has not been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the Parties within ten (10) Business Days after the initial written notice of the Dispute (or such longer period as the Parties may agree), then any Party involved in a Dispute with respect to such matters (except as otherwise specifically provided in the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document) may deliver a notice (an “Escalation Notice”) demanding a meeting involving representatives of the Parties at a senior level of management of the Parties (or if the Parties agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division within such entity). A copy of any such Escalation Notice shall be given to the general counsel, or like officer or official, of each Party involved in the Dispute (which copy shall state that it is an Escalation Notice pursuant to this Agreement). Any agenda, location or procedures for such discussions or negotiations between the Parties may be established by the Parties from time to time; provided, however, that the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute for fifteen (15) Business Days after the Escalation Notice. If such Dispute has not been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the Parties within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the Escalation Notice, then one (1) director of each of the Company and SpinCo, or their respective designees (each a “Director Designee” and together the “Director Designees”), shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to resolve such Dispute amicably.

(b) If the Parties are not able to resolve the Dispute through the escalation process set forth in Section 8.2(a) within ten (10) Business Days after escalation to the Director Designees, or the Company, on the one hand, or SpinCo, on the other, reasonably concludes that the other Party is not willing to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve expeditiously such Dispute, then each Party shall have the right to refer the Dispute to mediation by providing written notice to the other Party. If either Party refers the Dispute to mediation pursuant to the prior sentence, then the Parties shall retain a mediator to aid the Parties in their discussions and negotiations by informally providing advice to the Parties. Unless mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, any opinion expressed or delivered by the mediator shall be strictly advisory and shall not be binding on the Parties, nor shall any opinion expressed or delivered by the mediator be admissible in any other proceeding. The mediator may be chosen from a list of mediators previously selected by the Parties or by other agreement of the Parties. If a mediator cannot be agreed upon by the Parties within ten (10) days of a Party providing written notice of mediation

-19-

pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.2(b), then each of the Company and SpinCo shall nominate a mediator, and those two (2) mediators will select a third (3rd) mediator unaffiliated to either Party who shall act as the mediator for such Dispute. Costs of the mediation shall be borne equally by the Parties involved in the matter, except that each Party shall be responsible for its own expenses. Mediation shall be a prerequisite to the commencement of any Action by a Party; provided that no Party shall be required to engage in more than thirty (30) days of mediation prior to commencing an Action.

Section 8.3 Court Actions. If any Party, after complying with the provisions set forth in Section 8.2, desires to commence an Action, then such Party, subject to Section 8.2 and Section 9.10, may submit the Dispute (or such series of related Disputes) to any Chosen Court in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Separation Agreement.

Section 8.4 Conduct During Dispute Resolution Process. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Project Managers and other employees to, continue to honor all covenants and agreements under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII, unless such covenants or agreements are the specific subject of the Dispute at issue.

Section 8.5 Disputes Over Fees. Any Party that wishes to initiate a Dispute regarding the amount of Fees (a “Fee Dispute”) must notify the other Party in writing within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the applicable invoice (unless an extension is mutually agreed). If any such Fee Dispute is finally resolved by the Project Managers or pursuant to the dispute resolution process set forth or referred to in Section 8.1 through Section 8.4 and it is determined that the Fees that Provider has invoiced Recipient, and that Recipient has paid to Provider, is greater or less than the amount that the Fees should have been, then (a) if it is determined that Recipient has overpaid the Fees Provider shall within five (5) Business Days after such determination reimburse Recipient an amount of cash equal to such overpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date of payment by Recipient to the time of reimbursement by Provider, and (b) if it is determined that Recipient has underpaid the Fees Recipient shall within five (5) Business Days after such determination reimburse Provider an amount of cash equal to such underpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date such payment originally should have been made by Recipient to the time of payment by Recipient.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Further Assurances.

(ii) Provider hereby grants to Recipient, and Recipient hereby accepts, a nonexclusive, nontransferable (subject to Section 9.5), worldwide right during the Project Service Period to use the Provider Systems only to the extent necessary and for the sole purpose of receiving the Project Services under this Agreement, and not for any other purpose.

(b) The limited rights to use the Recipient Systems and the Provider Systems granted in this Section 9.3 for each of the Project Services will terminate at the end of the applicable Project Service Period for such Project Service and will under no circumstances survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Section 9.4 Independent Contractors. The Parties each acknowledge and agree that they are separate entities, each of which has entered into this Agreement for its own independent business reasons. The relationships of the Parties hereunder are those of independent contractors and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create a joint venture, partnership, principal-agent or any other relationship between the Parties. Personnel performing Project Services hereunder do so on behalf of, under the direction of, and as Personnel of, Provider, and Recipient shall have no right, power or authority to direct such Personnel.

Section 9.5 Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement (including by operation of law, merger, consolidation, sale or otherwise) without the express prior written consent of the other Party; provided that no consent of the other Party shall be required for the assignment of a Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part to any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries; provided that no such assignment shall release such Party from any Liability or obligation under this Agreement.

-21-

Section 9.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article VII with respect to Provider Indemnitees and Recipient Indemnitees in their capacities as such, which is intended to benefit, and to be enforceable by, the Provider Indemnitees and Recipient Indemnitees, this Agreement is not intended to confer in or on behalf of any Person not a party to this Agreement (and their successors and assigns) any rights, benefits, causes of action or remedies with respect to the subject matter of any provision hereof.

Section 9.7 Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation hereunder (other than a payment obligation) 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 unless this Agreement has previously been terminated under Article V. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such Force Majeure, (a) provide written notice to the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than the date that the affected Party resumes providing analogous services to, or otherwise resumes analogous performance under any other agreement for, itself or its Affiliates) unless this Agreement has previously been terminated under Article V. Recipient shall be relieved of the obligation to pay Fees for the affected Project Service(s) throughout the duration of such Force Majeure.
