TRANSITION SERVICES

SECTION 2.01. Provision of Transition Services.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Provider shall provide, directly or indirectly through third party contractors, subcontractors, licensors, vendors, outsourcers or other third party service providers (collectively, “Third Party Contractors”), to Recipient the Transition Services during their respective Terms; provided, that Provider shall remain responsible for the performance of the services in accordance herewith.

(b) In the event that any Recipients desire to have any Providers provide services that (i) were provided by such Provider to such Recipient within the twelve (12) months prior to the Distribution Date (the “Reference Period”), and (ii) are reasonably necessary for the operation of such Recipient’s Business as conducted as of the Distribution Date (“Omitted Services”; provided, that Omitted Services shall not include any service that Provider has replaced with (or for which Provider has substituted) a substantially comparable Transition Service as of the date hereof), such Recipient may, within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date hereof, request that such Provider provide such Omitted Services. If such Provider is reasonably capable of providing such Omitted Services, such Provider shall provide such Omitted Services to such Recipient as promptly as reasonably practicable and on terms to be negotiated by the Parties in good faith. In the event that any Recipients desire to have any Providers provide additional services that are not Omitted Services (“Additional Services”), such Providers, in their sole discretion, may agree to provide, directly or indirectly through Third Party Contractors, such Additional Services. Any request for an Omitted Service or Additional Service shall be in writing and shall specify, as applicable (i) the type and the scope of the requested service, (ii) who shall perform the requested service, (iii) where and to whom the requested service is to be provided and (iv) the proposed term for the requested service. In the event that any Providers are required to provide any Omitted Service, or agree to provide any Additional Service, as applicable, the Parties shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement amending the applicable Transition Service Schedule to reflect such Omitted Service or Additional Service, as applicable, and such Omitted Service or Additional Service, as applicable, shall be deemed to be part of this Agreement and the Transition Services from and after the date of such amendment.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing herein shall prohibit, modify or limit any Provider’s ability to transfer or allocate assets and liabilities, as the case may be, to any entity in connection with, or in contemplation of, the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (other than this Agreement) or otherwise, and to the extent that any such transfer or allocation results in a change to which a Party reasonably should be Provider and/or Recipient then the relevant Parties shall make such amendments, revisions or modifications to the applicable Transition Service Schedule as are reasonably necessary to reflect the appropriate Provider and/or Recipient, as the case may be.

(d) The Parties agree and acknowledge that any other transition or similar assistance that may be provided by a Party or its Affiliates to another Party or its Affiliates (but is not described in the Transition Service Schedules and is not otherwise agreed to in writing pursuant to Section 2.03 or part of the terms of the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement shall be deemed to be provided under this Agreement as Transition Services (and therefore subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the exclusions of, and limitations on, liability), unless the Parties expressly agree in writing that such other transition or similar assistance is not governed by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not require any Party to provide any transition or similar assistance that is not otherwise required under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.02. Contract Managers and Service Managers. Each Party shall appoint an individual to act as its primary point of contact for the administration of this Agreement (each, a “Contract Manager”). Distributing designates Xxxxxx Xxxxx as its initial Contract Manager and Publishing designates Xxxx Xxxx as its initial Contract Manager. For each functional category identified on the Transition Service Schedules, each Party shall appoint one or two individual(s) to act as its primary point(s) of operational contact for the administration and operation of this Agreement with respect to the Transition Services identified under such functional category on the applicable Transition Service Schedule (each, a “Service Manager”) who shall have overall responsibility, with respect to the Transition Services identified under such functional category on the applicable Transition Service Schedule, for (a) coordinating all activities undertaken by such Party hereunder, (b) acting as a day-to-day contact with the other Party, (c) making available to the other Party the data, facilities, resources and other support services required for the performance of the applicable services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (d) attempting to resolve disagreements with respect to such Transition Services. The initial Services Managers for the Parties are set forth in the Transition Service Schedules. The Parties may change their respective Contract Managers and Service Managers from time to time upon notice to the other Party in accordance herewith.

SECTION 2.03. Change in Service. Any request for a change to a Transition Service shall be submitted in writing by the requesting Party to the other Party describing the proposed change in reasonable detail. The Party receiving such request shall respond to the request as soon as practicable and the Parties shall discuss in good faith the requested change and the process for implementing such change, including any changes in costs and expenses, if applicable; provided, that the Party receiving such request shall have no obligation to agree to such request if the change requested would materially and adversely impact the cost, liability, or risk associated with providing or receiving the applicable Transition Service, or cause any other material disruption or adverse impact on the business or operations of the Party or its Affiliates receiving the request. Each agreed upon change shall be documented by an amendment in writing to the applicable Transition Service Schedule.

SECTION 2.04. Service Levels.

(a) Except as specifically provided in the applicable Transition Service Schedule for a specific Transition Service, the Transition Services shall be provided in a commercially reasonable manner and at a level substantially consistent with the level at which such Transition Services were provided (if applicable) to the Recipients in the Reference Period (taking into consideration any changes to service levels resulting from any changes to applicable Law after the date hereof).

(b) Subject to Sections 2.05 and 7.01, if a Recipient provides a Provider with written notice of the occurrence of any Significant Service Shortfall (as defined below), such Provider shall promptly, and in no event more than five (5) Business Days from the date of such notice, for no additional charge, use commercially reasonable efforts to rectify or cause to be rectified such Significant Service Shortfall. In addition to any other rights the Recipient may have pursuant to this Agreement, if the Provider fails to rectify or cause to be rectified such Significant Service Shortfall in accordance with the foregoing, such Recipient may obtain replacement services from a third party and such Provider shall pay the reasonable cost of any such replacement services, less the amount such Recipient would have paid pursuant to this Agreement for such Transition Services. For purposes of this Section 2.04(b), a “Significant Service Shortfall” shall be deemed to have occurred if, subject to Section 2.05(c) and the proviso in clause (a) of Section 3.02, the quality or performance of the Transition Services provided by a Provider hereunder falls materially below the standards required by Section 2.04(a).

SECTION 2.05. Limitation on Transition Services.

(a) A Provider shall not be required to provide Transition Services hereunder to the extent the provision of such services would require the Provider to violate any applicable Law or any Contract to which the Provider is a party; provided, that such Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the expense of the Provider, any waivers, permits, consents, orders or authorizations that may be required for the provisions of the Transition Services (the “Consents”); and provided, further, that to the extent such Provider is unable to obtain a Consent necessary to provide a Transition Service, the Provider shall, at the Recipient’s request and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Recipients to obtain as promptly as practicable alternative arrangements for the provision of the applicable Transition Service.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent the provision of any Transition Services hereunder would require any Deferred Transfer Asset to which such Provider is entitled pursuant to the Separation Agreement, such Provider shall not be required to provide such services for so long as the transfer or assignment of such Deferred Transfer Asset is not consummated, whether as a result of a Transfer Impediment pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.3(a) of the Separation Agreement or for any other reason.

(c) The Recipients shall cooperate with the Providers to the extent necessary or appropriate to facilitate the performance of the Transition Services in accordance herewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Recipients shall make available on a timely basis to the Providers all information and materials requested by such Providers to the

extent reasonably necessary for the purposes of providing and receiving the Transition Services in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) the Recipients shall, upon reasonable notice, give the Providers reasonable access, during regular business hours and at such other times as are reasonably required, to the relevant premises and personnel to the extent reasonably necessary for the purposes of providing and receiving Transition Services and (iii) the obligations of the Providers to provide the Transition Services hereunder are conditioned upon such Providers (and the Third Party Contractors engaged by them) being provided with reasonable access to, and all necessary rights to utilize, the Recipients’ information, facilities, personnel, assets, systems and technologies to the extent reasonably requested by the relevant Providers as reasonably necessary for the performance of the Transition Services.

(d) Except as specifically provided in the applicable Transition Service Schedule for a specific Transition Service, in providing the Transition Services, no Provider shall be obligated to (i) hire any additional employees, (ii) maintain the employment of any specific employees or (iii) purchase, lease or license any additional facilities, equipment or software.

SECTION 2.06. Intellectual Property. Except as provided herein, in the Separation Agreement or in other Ancillary Agreements, each Party shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all of its Intellectual Property and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to grant to the other Party any such rights; provided, that to the extent permitted by applicable Law and existing contractual arrangements (subject to Section 2.05), each Party hereby grants (or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to grant) to the other Party and its applicable Affiliates a nonexclusive, revocable, nontransferable, world-wide, royalty-free right and license to such Intellectual Property, solely to the extent and for the duration necessary for the receipt or provision of the Transition Services in accordance with this Agreement (it being understood that each such license shall terminate immediately upon the termination of the relevant Transition Services); and provided, further, that unless the Parties agree otherwise, all Intellectual Property (i) created by the Provider in connection with a Transition Service during the Term of such Transition Service at the request and solely for the benefit of a Recipient and (ii) paid for by a Recipient shall be the property of such Recipient, and, to the extent title to any such Intellectual Property vests in the Provider by operation of Law, each Party hereby assigns (and shall cause any such other Provider to assign) to the relevant Recipient all of its right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property, and the Providers shall provide such assistance and execute such documents as the Recipients may reasonably request to assign to the relevant Recipient all of its right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property.

SECTION 2.07. Services Migration.

(a) The Providers shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any applicable Third Party Contractors to, assist the Recipients in connection with the transition from the performance of Transition Services by the Providers to the performance of such services by the Recipients or other third parties engaged by the Recipients, which may include assistance with the transfer of records, segregation and migration of historical data, the transition to non-Provider systems and cooperation with and assistance to any third party consultants engaged by the Recipients in connection with such transition (“Migration Services”), taking into account (i) the need to minimize the cost of such transition and the disruption to the ongoing business activities of the Parties and their Affiliates and (ii) the rights and interests of protecting Confidential Information and privilege in accordance with Article VI of the Separation Agreement (the “Protected Interests”).

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as soon as practicable after the date hereof, each Party shall, at its sole expense, in compliance with applicable Laws, take such action with respect to the systems that are under its control to separate logically and physically the Information Technology used to conduct the Distributing Business from the Information Technology used to conduct the Publishing Business, in such a manner that the Information Technology used to conduct the Publishing Business is not accessible to the members of the Distributing Group and the Information Technology used to conduct the Distributing Business is not accessible to the members of the Publishing Group, except, subject to and in accordance with Section 6.02, as and to the extent such access is necessary for the provision or receipt of Transition Services pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise set forth herein.

SECTION 2.08. Limited Remedy and Limitation of Damages.

(a) In the event that any Provider materially fails to perform any Transition Service in breach of this Agreement, then at the Recipient’s request, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-perform such Transition Service as soon as reasonably practicable, with the same degree of care used in correcting a failure of a similar service for itself, at no cost to the Recipient. The Provider shall have no obligation to recreate any lost or destroyed data, but will provide such data to Recipient to the extent the same is re-created through such re-performance of Transition Services. Except (i) as provided in Section 2.04(b), (ii) for any failure to perform that results in a claim for indemnification under Article IV and subject to the provisions thereof and (iii) for any specific performance or other equitable remedy that may be awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Recipient’s sole and exclusive remedy, and the Provider’s sole and exclusive liability and obligation, with respect to the performance (or nonperformance) of Transition Services is set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 2.08.

(b) EACH RECIPIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) EACH PROVIDER IS NOT A COMMERCIAL PROVIDER OF THE TRANSITION SERVICES PROVIDED HEREIN AND IS PROVIDING THE TRANSITION SERVICES AS AN ACCOMMODATION AND AT COST TO THE RECIPIENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSATIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE SEPARATION AGREEMENT; AND (II) THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT INTENDED BY THE PARTIES TO HAVE THE APPLICABLE PROVIDER MANAGE AND OPERATE THE PUBLISHING BUSINESS OR THE DISTRIBUTING BUSINESS, AS APPLICABLE, IN LIEU OF THE APPLICABLE RECIPIENT. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN ANY CLAIM MADE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE III

SERVICE CHARGES

SECTION 3.01. Service Charges. Unless otherwise set forth in the Transition Service Schedules and subject to Section 3.02, the Transition Services and the Migration Services shall be provided at the Provider’s cost and expense. The Recipients shall compensate the Providers only for Transition Services and Migration Services actually received. The Recipients shall not make, or shall receive an appropriate credit with respect to, payment for Transition Services or Migration Services that are not provided to the Recipients for any reason, including force majeure.

SECTION 3.02. Invoices and Payment Terms. Unless otherwise set forth in the Transition Service Schedules, the Providers shall invoice the Recipients promptly after the end of each month for all (a) amounts due (if any) for all Transition Services and Migration Services provided to the Recipients during the preceding month based on, unless otherwise set forth in the Transition Service Schedules, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by the Providers or any of its Affiliates in connection with providing the applicable Transition Services and Migration Services (including reasonable third party costs, travel-related expenses and increased staffing costs directly attributable to the provision of such services, but excluding fixed overhead and full time employee costs of the Provider); provided, however, that any such cost or expense not consistent with historical practice between the Parties for any Transition Service or Migration Service (including business travel and related expenses) shall require advance approval of the Recipient, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being agreed that in the event that, and for so long as, the Recipient withholds such approval, the Provider shall not be required to provide all or a portion of the applicable Transition Services and / or Migration Services to the extent that such cost or expense is necessary for the provision of such Transition Services and / or Migration Services or such portion thereof), and (b) all Taxes (as defined below). Payment of any amounts due by the Recipients hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds within forty-five (45) days of the applicable Recipient’s receipt of invoice therefor. Any amount not paid within forty-five (45) days after the date when payable shall bear interest at the rate equal to 1.5% per annum from the date such amount is due. The Recipients shall not deduct, set off, counterclaim or otherwise withhold any amount owed by it to the Providers (on account of any obligation owed by the Providers, whether or not such obligation has been finally adjudicated, settled or otherwise agreed upon in writing) against the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that in the event any Recipient disputes any amount on an invoice, such Recipient shall notify the relevant Provider in writing within twenty (20) days after such Recipient’s receipt of such invoice and shall describe in detail the reason for disputing such amount. Upon receipt of such notice, the Provider will research the items in question in a reasonably prompt manner and cooperate to resolve any differences with the Recipient. In the event agreement is not reached by the applicable Provider and Recipient within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the notice referred to above, the matter shall be referred to resolution in accordance with Section 7.05. The Recipient will be entitled to withhold the amount in dispute during the pendency of the dispute, provided that the Recipient shall be subject to late charges pursuant to this Section 3.02 on any

amount that is unsuccessfully disputed. The Recipient shall timely pay the undisputed portion of each invoice in the manner set forth in this Agreement; provided that in the event that the applicable Provider and Recipient mutually agree that any amount that was paid by the Recipient was not properly owed, the Provider will refund that amount plus interest (accumulating from the original due date for such amount at the rate equal to 1.5% per annum) to the Recipient within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such notice (or, alternatively, the Provider may deduct the dollar amount from the next invoice submitted to the Recipient).

SECTION 3.03. Documentation; Audit. The Providers shall maintain accurate and complete records of all receipts, invoices, reports and other documents relating to the Transition Services and Migration Services rendered hereunder (collectively, the “TSA Documents”) in accordance with (i) each such Person’s standard accounting practices and procedures, consistently applied, which practices and procedures are employed by each such Person in its provision of services for itself and its own Subsidiaries and (ii) applicable Law (including data protection and privacy Law). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Person’s accounting records shall be maintained in sufficient detail to enable an auditor to verify the accuracy, completeness and appropriateness of all charges hereunder. Upon reasonable prior notice, during the applicable Provider’s regular office hours, each Recipient and its Representatives (including such Recipient’s internal and external auditors) shall have the right to, at such Recipient’s expense, inspect and copy the TSA Documents and audit the TSA Documents and related controls and processes, subject to the preservation of the Protected Interests. The Providers shall retain the TSA Documents and, subject to the preservation of the Protected Interests, make them available to the Recipients, their Representatives, and applicable Governmental Authorities for a period of six years from the close of each fiscal year during which Transition Services are provided. If an audit conducted by a Recipient or its Representative reveals an overbilling by the Provider and overpayment by the Recipient, and the Provider agrees with the results of the audit, the Provider shall reimburse the relevant Recipient within forty-five (45) days of receiving a copy of the audit and shall pay interest at a rate equal to 1.5% per annum for the period from the date the revealed overpayment was made until the date such revealed overpayment is reimbursed.

SECTION 3.04. Taxes. All sales tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax or similar tax (“Taxes”) (but excluding any Tax based upon the net income of a Provider, which shall be paid by such Provider) associated with the provision of any Transition Services will be separately stated on the relevant invoice and shall be paid by the Recipients in accordance with Section 3.02. The Providers shall be responsible for paying any such Taxes to the appropriate tax authorities.

ARTICLE IV

DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; LIMITATIONS

OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 4.01. Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the services to be provided hereunder are furnished on an as-is and where-is basis. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither party nor any of their affiliates make any representation or warranty, whether express, implied or statutory, and each party (on behalf of itself and its affiliates) hereby disclaims any representation or warranty of any kind with respect to the services provided hereunder, including any warranty of condition, merchantability, accuracy, satisfactory quality, non-infringement, or fitness for any particular purpose.

SECTION 4.02. Limitations of Liability.

(a) Except for the indemnification claim provided under Section 4.04, in no event shall any Party or any of its Affiliates have any Liability to the other Party or any of its Affiliates arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the aggregate Liability of the Providers to the Recipients arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the service charges paid or to be paid by the Recipients hereunder with respect to the services giving rise to such Liability. The Parties hereby waive and shall not assert, and shall cause the other Recipients to waive and not assert, claims for any such Liability in excess of such aggregate amount.

(c) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE OR SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

SECTION 4.03. Third Party Contractors.

(a) In no event will any Party be liable for the products and services of any Third Party Contractors, except to the extent for which such Party is otherwise liable under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Third Party Contractors, the Parties agree to reasonably and diligently cooperate to pass through to each Recipient, to the extent permitted by the applicable contracts, the benefit of any indemnities, representations and warranties under the applicable contracts with such Third Party Contractors. Upon request, the Provider agrees at its option to either (i) enforce its rights under such contracts, or (ii) grant to the Recipient rights of subrogation, to the extent permitted under the applicable contract(s), so that the Recipient may directly enforce the applicable contract(s) against the applicable Third Party Contractors. The Provider will under no circumstances be responsible for any failure by any Third Party Contractor to provide any remedies to which the Provider and the Recipient are entitled from the applicable Third Party Contractors. The Recipient will be responsible for its own costs and the cost incurred by the Provider in seeking or enforcing any rights or remedies with respect to any such Third Party Contractors for the benefit of Recipient.

SECTION 4.04. Indemnity.

(a) Subject to the limitations on liability provided in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03, each Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives, and each of the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, judgments, losses, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of litigation) arising out of or resulting from the negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of confidentiality, violation of Law or infringement of a third party’s Intellectual Property, of (or by) it or its Affiliates, and its and their respective Representatives, and each of the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing, in each case in connection with this Agreement.

(b) Sections 10.5 through 10.8 of the Separation Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to the indemnification provided hereunder.

ARTICLE V

TERM AND TERMINATION

SECTION 5.01. Term.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective on the Distribution Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 5.02, shall remain in full force and effect until all Transition Services are terminated in accordance herewith.

(b) The term (the “Term”) for each Transition Service shall commence on the Distribution Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 5.02 below, shall continue until the earlier of (i) the period specified in the applicable Transition Service Schedule (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing after the date hereof) and (ii) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Distribution Date.

SECTION 5.02. Termination. All or a portion of a Transition Service may only be terminated prior to the conclusion of its Term as follows:

(a) by the Recipient for convenience upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Provider, provided, that the Recipient shall pay the applicable early termination charges pursuant to Section 5.03;

(b) by the mutual written agreement of the Recipient and the Provider;

(c) by either Distributing or Publishing for a material breach (including any payment default) of this Agreement by the other Party (or any other Recipient or any other Provider, as applicable) with respect to such Transition Service, provided, that if such breach is capable of being cured, only if such breach is not cured within forty-five (45) days after written notice from the terminating Party;

(d) by either Distributing or Publishing if the other Party commences a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing; or

(e) by either Distributing or Publishing if any involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against the other Party seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days, or an order for relief shall have been entered against the other Party.

SECTION 5.03. Early Termination Charges. Upon early termination of all or a portion of any Transition Service pursuant to Section 5.02(a), the Recipient shall pay to the Provider early termination charges equal to the amount of the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Provider in order to discontinue earlier than originally anticipated the provision of such Transition Service or portion thereof. Such early termination charges may include wind-down costs, breakage fees, early termination fees or charges, minimum volume make-up charges, other start-up or wind-down costs incurred by the Provider that the Provider had anticipated would be paid for by the Recipient over the course of the originally contemplated term (or not incurred but for the Recipient’s early termination) or other amounts payable to third parties. The Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the existence and amount of such early termination charges; provided, that the foregoing obligations shall not alter or diminish the Recipient’s obligation to pay such early termination charges as reasonably incurred by the Provider in accordance with the terms hereof.
