Section 2.1 Document of Compliance. TKC and TOO shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause a DOC to be issued (the time such DOC is issued, the “DOC Issuance”) to either (as directed in writing to TKC by TOO) Teekay Shipping Norway AS as soon as practicable following the Closing, and TKC shall keep TOO informed of the progress of such issuance at all times. Until the DOC Issuance has occurred, TKC shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to do all things and take all actions necessary to maintain any current DOC and safety case reasonably necessary for the TOO Business in full force and effect. TOO shall bear all reasonable, duly-documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the TKC Entities and the TOO Entities in obtaining such DOC. Transfer of Certain Entities. On January 1, 2018, TKC shall cause each Schedule 2 Entity to be transferred to a TOO Entity (including, for certainty, any new entity formed by TOO for such purpose, as directed in writing to TKC by TOO) by transferring all equity or other ownership interest issued by such Schedule 2 Entity to the designated TOO Entity (the “Entity Transfer”). The agreements and documents executed, delivered or filed in connection with each Entity Transfer shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to TKC, TOO and Investor to reflect a valid transfer and shall include the form of purchase agreement (each, a “Purchase Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. In connection with an Entity Transfer, TOO shall pay to the relevant seller entity an amount in cash, or if the calculated value is negative, TKC shall pay, or cause to be paid, and TOO shall be entitled to receive, an amount in cash from the applicable seller entity, equal to such Schedule 2 Entity’s stockholder’s equity as of the Transfer Date, determined in accordance with GAAP on a basis consistent with past practice (the “Initial Schedule 2 Entity Consideration Value”), in each case, as of the time of the Entity Transfer, as estimated by TOO, taking into consideration any other reasonable adjustments as the Parties and Investor may agree based on commercial principles. Illustrative examples of the calculation of the consideration to be paid in connection with the Entity Transfers are set forth in Exhibit A hereto. To the extent that TKC and TOO reasonably agree that (A) any Entity Transfer is not commercially reasonable due to material adverse tax consequences or other material adverse commercial impacts, or (B) it may otherwise be materially beneficial to either party (and not materially detrimental to the other party) to effect an Alternative Transfer (as defined below), TKC shall take all steps reasonably necessary to transfer to TOO or a Subsidiary of TOO (as directed in writing to TKC by TOO and Investor) all employees, assets and liabilities related to the TOO Business (to the extent reflected on the balance sheet/financial statements of such Schedule 2 Entity as of the date of such transfer of the applicable Transferred Entity) for substantially similar consideration (the “Alternative Transfer”). All Entity Transfers and, to the extent there are any, Alternative Transfers shall be completed on January 1, 2018 (the “Transfer Date”).
Section 2.2 TK Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a TK Event of Default (as defined in the Amended and Restated GP LLC Agreement), TKC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to immediately cause an Entity Transfer or Alternative Transfer with respect any or all of the Schedule 2 Entities (as directed in writing by TOO).Settlement of Intercompany Balances. At the Transfer Date, there shall be no intercompany balances (other than trade receivables and payables arising in the ordinary course of business) between any TKC Entity, on the one hand, and any Schedule 2 Entity, on the other hand.

(a) With respect to each Schedule 2 Employee, until the Transfer Date, TKC shall, and shall cause the other TKC Entities to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Schedule 2 Employees to continue to be dedicated to, and provide services to, the TOO Business consistent with past practice.

(c) TOO and TKC hereby agree (i) that each of them will cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure (x) that the transfer of the Schedule 3 Transferred Employees shall not constitute or give rise to a severance of employment of any Schedule 3 Transferred Employee prior to or upon such consummation of such transfers and (y) that the Schedule 3 Transferred Employees will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the date of their transfer and (ii) to comply, in all material respects, with the

In the event a Service Recipient elects to terminate any Current Services, TKC shall, or shall cause the applicable Service Provider to, provide reasonable assistance necessary to ensure a smooth transition prior to the termination of such Current Services.

(e) Performance by Affiliates and Subcontractors. A Service Provider may use one or more of its Affiliates or third party subcontractors to perform all or any portion of Service Provider’s duties under any Current Service Agreement, provided that (i) such Service Provider shall use the same degree of care in selecting any such third party service providers as it would if such third party service providers were being retained to provide similar services to such Service Provider (and in no event lower than a reasonable degree of care), (ii) such Service Provider remains primarily responsible for the performance of such Affiliates and subcontractors as if it was performed by such Service Provider, including such Affiliates’ and subcontractors’ acts and omissions, and (iii) the applicable Service Recipient’s payment or reimbursement obligations are not changed by such use.
(f) Records; Audits. Each Service Provider shall maintain all books, records, receipts, invoices, reports, and other documents and information relating to the Current Services in accordance with its standard accounting practices and procedures.

Each Service Provider will cooperate with the applicable Service Recipient and its auditors, as reasonably requested by such Service Recipient, in connection with any audit.

(i) GP Interest Option. For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise by Brookfield TK TOGP L.P. of its option to purchase 2% of the limited liability company interests in TOO GP shall not violate or constitute a default (or constitute an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a violation or default) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Current Service Agreement or accelerate any obligations or rights under or give a right of termination of (whether or not with notice, lapse of time or both) any such Current Service Agreement.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing amendments have been approved by the board of directors of each of TKC, TOO GP, the Conflicts Committee of TOO, Investor and the other parties to this Section 4.3.

Section 3.8 Transition Managers; Principal Representatives. TKC and TOO shall each appoint one individual (the “Transition Manager”) (i) to have primary responsibility and oversight for the Shared Service Evaluation and to facilitate the Further Transition, and (ii) to be TKC’s or TOO’s primary point of contact for matters relating to the Current Service Agreements and this Agreement (including with respect to the Shared Service Evaluation, the Further Transition, and amendments to be made pursuant to Section 4.4).

Further, TKC and TOO shall each appoint one principal representative (the “Principal Representative”) to have overall responsibility for the management and administration of his or her Party’s activities with respect to the Shared Service Evaluation and overall rights and obligations with respect to the agreements or other transactions contemplated by the Current Service Agreements and this Agreement (including with respect to the Shared Service Evaluation, the Further Transition, and amendments to be made pursuant to Section 4.4). The initial Principal Representative will be Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (for TKC) and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (for TOO). Each of TKC and TOO may appoint a new Transition Manager or Principal Representative by providing the other Party with prior written notice thereof; provided, that prior to the Exercise Date, any new Transition Manager or Principal Representative appointed by TOO shall require the prior written approval of Investor. Resolution by Transition Managers. To the extent that the applicable TKC Entity and TOO Entity do not agree on any terms or conditions for a New Service Agreement or how to effect a proposed Further Transition, or otherwise have any disputes under the Current Service Agreements or this Agreement (including with respect to the Shared Service Evaluation, the Further Transition), such dispute (a “Dispute”) will be initially referred to the Transition Managers by either Party (in such role, the “Complaining Party”) by delivering written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to the Transition Manager of the other Party (the “Responding Party”) setting forth in reasonably sufficient detail the position of the Complaining Party with respect to the Dispute, including the factual basis of such position. Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Dispute
12 |
Exhibit 10.4
Notice, TKC or TOO, as applicable, will cause the Responding Party to submit to the Transition Manager of the Complaining Party a written response (the “Response”) setting forth in reasonably sufficient detail the Responding Party’s position concerning the Dispute. Within five (5) days after delivery of such a Response, the Transition Managers shall meet and confer at a mutually acceptable time, and thereafter as often as they deem reasonably necessary, in an effort to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiation. Such meetings may be by telephone or other means acceptable to each of the Transition Managers. The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate in good faith with respect to any reasonable requests for exchanges of information regarding the Dispute or a Response thereto for the purpose of engaging in such dispute resolution negotiations.
Section 3.9 Timing; Delays; Adjustment of fees. In the event that any of the actions contemplated by this Agreement are frustrated or unduly delayed by TKC, all fees payable to TKC under any Current Service Agreement or New Service Agreement from and after such time and other fees related to employee or entity transfers shall be reduced by an amount to be agreed between the parties, acting reasonably. In the event that TKC incurs additional reasonable, duly-documented out-of-pocket costs in connection with the provision of services under any Current Services Agreement due to the requirements of this Agreement, the fees payable to TKC under such agreement will be adjusted by an amount agreed between the parties, acting reasonably, to take into consideration such additional reasonable, duly-documented out-of-pocket costs.

Section 3.13 TKC Indemnity. TKC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and hereby releases, TOO GP, TOO, each Subsidiary of TOO, Investor and each of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees, stockholders (other than any TKC Entities), consultants, contractors, agents, and other representatives, and each of the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “TOO Indemnitees”), from and against: any and all Losses arising from or relating to third party claims arising from or relating any breach of this Agreement or failure to provide the services contemplated hereby, in each case, by any TKC Entity (except solely if, and only to the extent due to a breach of this Agreement by the TOO Entities or that is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the TOO Entities); and
(a) No remedy shall be available hereunder to the extent it is duplicative of a remedy actually received pursuant to a Purchase Agreement.Indemnification Procedures. In order to receive the benefits of the indemnity under this Article 9, a Person seeking indemnification (each, an “Indemnitee”) must:
(b) allow the Indemnitor to assume the control of the defense and settlement (including all decisions relating to litigation, defense and appeal) of any such claim; provided that: (A) the Indemnitor has confirmed its indemnification obligation with respect to such claim to the
16 |
Exhibit 10.4
Indemnitee under this Article 9, (B) no such settlement may adversely affect the rights or obligations of such Indemnitee under this Agreement without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent; and (C) any settlement reached without the prior written consent of such Indemnitee shall be for monetary damages only (which amount shall be fully indemnified hereunder by the Indemnitor) and not for any equitable relief and shall not include any admission or ongoing obligation or restriction on the part of such Indemnitee; and
(c) reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor’s request and expense, in its defense of the claim (including making documents and records available for review and copying and making Persons within such Indemnitee’s control available for pertinent interview and testimony), including by negotiating appropriate joint defense agreements and similar arrangements to, as fully as possible, provide such cooperation without vitiating any legal privilege to which such Indemnitee is entitled.
(d) If the Indemnitor defends the claim, the Indemnitee may at its sole expense and using attorneys of its choice, participate in, but shall not have any control of, the defense of such claim. The Indemnitor shall have no liability under, as applicable, Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 as to any claim for which settlement or compromise of such claim, or an offer of settlement or compromise of such claim, is made by an Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor.
(e) All reasonable, duly-documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with enforcement of this Article 9 shall also be reimbursed by the Indemnitor (net of reasonable costs and expenses of recovery).
(f) For the purposes of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9, any amounts payable hereunder or thereunder shall be determined on the basis of the net effect after giving effect to any actual cash payments, setoffs or recoupment or any payments in each case actually received, realized or retained by the indemnified Party (including any amounts recovered by the indemnified Party under insurance policies, but excluding self-insurance arrangements) as a result of any event giving rise to a claim for such indemnification. If the amount for which an indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnity hereunder is reduced due to recoveries by the applicable indemnified Parties under one or more insurance policies, then to the extent required by the terms of such policies, the applicable insurance indemnitors shall be subrogated to the rights of the indemnified Parties hereunder with respect to the claims giving rise to such amount payable under this Article 9; provided that in no event shall such insurance indemnitors be entitled to seek a recovery from the indemnifying Party in excess of the amount by which such amount payable under this Article 9 had been reduced.
Section 3.14 Limitations of Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER SHALL ANY PARTY, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, STOCKHOLDERS, AGENTS AND REPRESENTATIVES, OR ANY OF THE SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE

Section 3.16 Amendments, Waivers, Etc. This Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by the Party against whom such amendment or waiver shall be enforced. The failure of any Party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its right to exercise any such other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.Counterparts and Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic transmission), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered (by facsimile, electronic transmission or otherwise) to the other parties.
(a) Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies the Parties may have, each Party acknowledges and agrees that damages alone would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the terms of this Agreement. Accordingly the Parties acknowledge that each Party shall be entitled to the remedies of injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of the terms of the Agreement.
(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, for the purposes of any Action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such Action or proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party hereto agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 10.1 shall be effective service of process for any such Action or proceeding.
Section 3.17 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this
20 |
Exhibit 10.4
Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The words “date hereof” shall refer to the date of this Agreement. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and shall not simply mean “if”. All references to “$” mean the lawful currency of the United States of America. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Except as specifically stated herein, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Except as otherwise specified herein, references to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. Each of the parties hereto has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced because of any Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be effectuated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
Section 3.18 No Partnership. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish any partnership or joint venture between any of the Parties, constitute any Party the agent of another Party or authorize any Party to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of any other party.
