Section 2. Treatment of Shared Contracts (Parent Companies). The Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) shall be retained by the Parent Companies as Excluded Assets, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Parties hereby mutually covenant and agree that, to the extent permitted by the terms and conditions of the Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) and Applicable Law:
(a) Existing Spinco Orders. With respect to any Orders under the Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) outstanding as of the date of this Agreement that are being performed, in whole or in part, by the Spinco Business (the “Existing Spinco Orders”), whether pursuant to a purchase order, subcontract, Intra-Lockheed Xxxxxx Work Transfer Agreement or other inter-division or Intra-Lockheed Xxxxxx agreement or arrangement, program directive, intra-division work order or otherwise (collectively, the “Existing Spinco POs”), then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Spinco Business shall supply to the Parent Companies, and the Parent Companies shall purchase from the Spinco Business, the work that would have been provided under such Existing Spinco POs pursuant to the Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) and the Existing Spinco Orders, as applicable. The Existing Spinco POs covered by this Agreement are listed on Exhibit B hereto.
(b) Existing Bids by the Spinco Business. Prior to the date of this Agreement, the Spinco Business has submitted quotations, bids or proposals for work under the Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) (“Spinco Bids”). In the event that Parent or Spinco or a Subsidiary of Parent or Spinco is awarded an Order under a Shared Contract (Parent Companies) as a result of a Spinco Bid (either before or after the effective date of this Agreement) (each, a “Spinco Bid Order”), and to the extent no Existing Spinco PO in respect of such Spinco Bid Order exists on the effective date of this Agreement, then Parent and Spinco shall enter into a purchase order, subcontract, work order or similar agreement (each, a “Spinco Bid PO”) consistent with the price or cost estimate supplied by the Spinco Business for such Spinco Bid prior to the effective date of this Agreement and the Spinco Bid Order related thereto, and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the same terms, conditions and provisions and at the same prices set forth herein applicable to Existing Spinco POs that would have applied if an Existing Spinco PO with respect to the work that results from the Spinco Bid had been entered into by the Parent Business and the Spinco Business prior to the date of this Agreement. The Spinco Bids covered by this Agreement include those listed on Exhibit C hereto. Upon request by Spinco, Parent shall, and shall cause all Parent Companies to, file,
3
prosecute and intervene in all bid protest actions on behalf of Spinco, subject to Parent’s exercise of reasonable discretion (after consulting with outside counsel) that it has satisfied its obligations under Applicable Law prior to the filing, prosecution or intervention in such bid protests.
(c) Future Bids. With respect to the Shared Contracts (Parent Companies), from and after the date of this Agreement and during the term of such Shared Contracts (Parent Companies), Parent shall provide Spinco, in writing, the following: (i) any draft task order request for proposal (“TO RFP”), (ii) any customer-announced intent to release a draft TO RFP, (iii) any draft TO RFP release dates and (iv) any final TO RFP under such Shared Contracts (Parent Companies). Each of the foregoing shall be provided to Spinco simultaneously with Parent’s internal distribution of the same, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after release (or, with respect to release dates, Parent becoming aware thereof), as applicable, and in each case without regard to whether such opportunities fall within or outside of the Reserved Business Area (as defined below). With respect to each Shared Contract (Parent Companies), the following terms and conditions shall apply:
(i) Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to submit, or to cause its Subsidiaries to submit, on Parent’s behalf or on behalf of any of its Subsidiaries, any quotations, bids or proposals under the Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) (a “Parent Bid”), other than quotations, bids or proposals for prospective Orders within the reserved business areas described on Exhibit D (such reserved business areas, the “Reserved Business Area”).
(ii) Parent shall have the first right, in its sole discretion, to submit, or to cause its Subsidiaries to submit, on Parent’s behalf or on behalf of any of its Subsidiaries, any Parent Bid under the Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) in the Reserved Business Area. Parent shall provide notice to Spinco of whether Parent intends to submit a Parent Bid for a prospective Order in the Reserved Business Area no later than the earlier of (A) seven (7) days after release of the applicable TO RFP, or (B) if such TO RFP requires notification of intent to bid by a specified date, two (2) Business Days prior to such date.
(iii) If Parent shall decide in its sole discretion not to submit a Parent Bid for a prospective Order under Section 2(c)(ii) above then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Spinco shall have the right to request, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the applicable TO RFP from Parent (or, if later, within three (3) Business Days after Parent’s delivery of the notice contemplated in Section 2(c)(ii)), that Parent submit, or cause its applicable Subsidiary to submit, on behalf of the Spinco Business, any quotations, bids or proposals for work under the Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) within the Reserved Business Area, on the terms and conditions proposed by the Spinco Business, and Parent agrees to, or to cause its applicable Subsidiary to, submit such quotations, bids or proposals in connection with any procurement within the Reserved Business Area, except to the extent Parent determines, after consultation with counsel, (A) that the terms and conditions proposed by Spinco reasonably could be interpreted to violate Applicable Law, the applicable Shared Contract (Parent Companies), the terms of this Agreement, or the terms of any other agreement to which a Parent Company is bound as of the date hereof, or (B) the scope of the work proposed in the quotation, bid or proposal would create an organizational conflict of interest for RMT Parent or
4
Spinco. Spinco shall submit any such quotations, bids or proposals along with all necessary accompanying information to Parent or its applicable Subsidiary at least five (5) Business Days (or such other period as shall be consistent with the applicable proposal cycle time) prior to the date that the proposal is due to be submitted. Upon request by Spinco, Parent shall, and shall cause all Parent Companies to, file, prosecute or intervene in all bid protest actions on behalf of Spinco, subject to Parent’s exercise of reasonable discretion (after consulting with outside counsel) that it has satisfied its obligations under Applicable Law prior to the filing, prosecution or intervention in such bid protests.
(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parent Companies shall not be required to submit on behalf of the Spinco Business any quotations, bids, or proposals under the Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) either (A) outside of the Reserved Business Area, or (B) if Parent or the applicable Parent subsidiary intends to submit a quotation, bid or proposal for that prospective Order on its own account.
(v) No later than forty-five (45) days after the Distribution Date, the Parties shall (A) hold a pipeline review meeting and establish a regular cadence for meetings to conduct the pipeline review, (B) identify their respective points of contact with respect to the Shared Contracts (Spinco Companies) and (C) discuss, and if mutually agreeable, prepare a concept of operations (CONOPS) protocol addressing the procedures to be utilized by the Parties with respect to future bids.
(d) Spinco POs. In the event the quotation, bid or proposal of the Spinco Business is successful and an Order is awarded (a “New Spinco Order” and, collectively with the Existing Spinco Orders and the Spinco Bid Orders, the “Spinco Orders”), Parent and Spinco (or their applicable Subsidiaries) shall enter into a purchase order, subcontract, work order or similar agreement, consistent with the price or cost estimate and other terms and conditions of the proposal previously supplied by the Spinco Business and on such other terms and conditions as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Parties (a “New Spinco PO” and, collectively with the Existing Spinco POs and the Spinco Bid POs, the “Spinco POs”), pursuant to which Spinco or its applicable Subsidiary shall perform the work under the New Spinco Order that was awarded in response to such proposal.
(i) Spinco POs shall include provisions for cost recovery in favor of Parent or its applicable Subsidiary in the nature of arms-length subcontract management, material handling and/or other actual costs that appropriately and reasonably (consistent with past practice) take into account Applicable Law and the work to be performed by Parent or its applicable Subsidiary pursuant to and during the term of such Spinco POs, but no provision for Parent fee or profit. Further, Spinco POs shall be administered as addressed in Exhibit E (the “Cost Principles”).
(ii) In the event that Spinco or any other Spinco Company breaches the covenants set forth in this Agreement or the requirements, provisions or terms of a Spinco Order, which results in Damages suffered by Parent, then Spinco or such Spinco Company shall be liable for all Damages to the extent arising from such breach, and Spinco or such Spinco
5
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Parent (or its applicable Subsidiary) from and against any Damages arising from any third-party claim asserted against or sought to be collected from Parent (or its applicable Subsidiary) resulting from Spinco’s or such Spinco Company’s breach; provided that the aggregate liability of Spinco and the Spinco Companies with respect to any Spinco Order, whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence) or restitution, or for breach of statutory duty or misrepresentation, or otherwise, shall be limited to the value of such Spinco Order.
(iii) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, contacts with the customer with respect to the Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) shall be the responsibility of Parent (or its applicable Subsidiary). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall, and shall cause the other Parent Companies to, (A) take such timely action as is reasonably necessary to allow the Spinco Companies to perform each Spinco PO and to protect any rights that may exist or accrue to Spinco Companies under the Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) and any Orders issued thereunder, including permitting Spinco Companies to communicate directly with customers under Spinco POs to the maximum extent permitted by the customer, (B) enforce, at Spinco’s cost and at the reasonable request of and for the benefit of the Spinco Companies, any and all claims, rights and benefits of Spinco Companies against the U.S. Government or any third party arising from or relating to any such Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) or any Orders issued thereunder, and (C) transfer applicable payments to the Spinco Companies in full, within fifteen (15) business days of the invoice date.
(e) Terms and Conditions. Spinco shall cause the applicable Spinco Companies to perform each Spinco PO in accordance with the respective specifications or scope of work set forth, or to be set forth, as the case may be, in the applicable Spinco Order under the Shared Contract (Parent Companies) with respect thereto and in accordance with the terms and conditions and at the same prices applicable to such Spinco PO. The terms and conditions applicable to each Spinco PO are as set forth in items (i) through (v) below. Such terms and conditions are listed in the order they are to be given precedence in the event of a conflict:
(i)the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Agreement;
(ii)the terms and conditions of the Spinco PO, not including clauses (other than warranty clauses, mandatory FAR and DFARS flow-down clauses, and other provisions required for compliance purposes) that are incorporated therein and shall continue in effect from the Shared Contract (Parent Companies) or any prime contract or higher tier subcontract that have been incorporated therein;
(iii)the terms and conditions of any higher tier Spinco Order corresponding to Spinco PO, as the case may be, not including clauses (other than warranty clauses, mandatory FAR and DFARS flow-down clauses, and other provisions required for compliance purposes) that are incorporated therein and shall continue in effect from the Shared Contract (Parent Companies) or any prime contract or higher tier subcontract that have been incorporated in such Spinco Order;
6
(iv)all clauses, modified as necessary to reflect the changed parties, now existing or incorporated after the date hereof in the applicable Shared Contract (Parent Companies) or any prime contract or higher tier subcontract under which any Spinco PO, or the Spinco Order corresponding thereto, was or is issued that are required by such Shared Contract (Parent Companies), prime contract or higher tier subcontract to be incorporated into Orders or other subcontracts issued thereunder, when the requirement is expressly set forth in such clause, or when Parent Companies must impose the clause in order to comply with the terms of such Shared Contract (Parent Companies), prime contract or higher tier subcontract, and any warranty terms in the Shared Contract (Parent Companies), prime contracts or higher tier subcontracts; and
(v)the terms and conditions of the standard terms and conditions attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Standard Terms and Conditions”), other than the reference to the state law governing the agreement identified in Section 2(a) included in such Standard Terms and Conditions, which shall be disregarded, it being understood that Spinco shall be the “Performing Company” and Parent shall be the “Requesting Company” under the Standard Terms and Conditions.
(f) Notice of Termination, Amendment or Modification. Parent shall provide Spinco with prompt written notice of any termination, amendment or modification of any Shared Contract (Parent Companies) or any related Orders under which work is being performed by the Spinco Business that affects Spinco’s rights and obligations hereunder in any material respect. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent nor any Parent Company may take any action to terminate, amend or modify any Spinco subcontracts at any tier under a Spinco PO.
(g) Efforts to Transfer Spinco POs. At Spinco’s request, Parent shall, and cause all Parent Companies to, use reasonable best efforts in cooperation with Spinco and Spinco Companies to transfer or obtain re-awards of the Spinco POs to or under other suitable contract vehicles held by Spinco or Spinco Companies, and to obtain all novation or other consents and approvals of Government Authorities for such transfers or re-awards.
(h) Limited License. To the extent required for Spinco or the applicable Spinco Companies to perform the Spinco POs in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent hereby grants and licenses to Spinco and its applicable Affiliates the right to possess, access, and use any Intellectual Property that was developed by the Spinco Business prior to the Distribution Date in connection with the Spinco Business’s performance of work pursuant to any Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) prior to the Distribution Date, solely to the extent required to perform the Spinco POs in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 3. Failure to Obtain Consent to Subcontract. The Parties acknowledge that certain Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) require Parent (or its applicable Subsidiaries) to obtain the consent of a Governmental Authority to subcontract a portion of the work. If such Governmental Authority decides not to grant its consent to a subcontract entered into pursuant to this Agreement, Parent shall promptly present to the Governmental Authority any grounds for reversal of such decision provided by Spinco, and Spinco shall provide all necessary assistance
7
in connection with such presentation. If the Governmental Authority refuses to reverse its decision, the Parties shall promptly meet to discuss alternative means to allow the Parties to fulfill their respective obligations under such Shared Contract (Parent Companies).
Section 4. Term. This Agreement is effective as of the date first above written and shall continue in effect with respect to each Shared Contract (Parent Companies) until the earlier to occur of (a) the expiration or termination, as the case may be, of such Shared Contract (Parent Companies), and (b) the award to Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries of a substitute or successor contract vehicle to such Shared Contract (Parent Companies); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 4 (Term) and Sections 5 (Use of Intellectual Property), 6 (Proprietary Information), 10 (Construction), 11 (Entire Agreement), 12 (Governing Law), 16 (Third Party Beneficiaries) and 18 (Dispute Resolution), as well as the terms and conditions described in this Agreement, the Cost Principles and the Standard Terms and Conditions that are applicable to Orders that by their terms survive the termination of the applicable Shared Contract (Parent Companies), shall survive any such expiration.
Section 5. Use of Intellectual Property. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement amends or modifies the provisions of the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement. To the extent any Intellectual Property is developed by Spinco or its Subsidiaries in connection with Spinco’s performance of work pursuant to any Shared Contracts (Parent Companies), the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to allocate ownership and use of such Intellectual Property based upon the intended use and application of such Intellectual Property in the Spinco Business and/or the Parent Business, as the case may be, based upon the following key principles: (i) Intellectual Property with exclusive application to the Spinco Business shall be retained by the Spinco Companies with no grant of rights to the Parent Companies, (ii) Intellectual Property with exclusive application to the Parent Business shall be transferred to the Parent Companies with no grant of rights to the Spinco Companies, and (iii) Intellectual Property with application to both the Spinco Business and the Parent Business shall be retained by the Spinco Companies and licensed to Parent on a nonexclusive basis, in each case based on terms and conditions consistent with the similar provisions of the Separation Agreement and the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement with respect to Transferred Intellectual Property, Excluded Intellectual Property, Licensed Intellectual Property and Licensed-Back Intellectual Property, as the case may be. To the extent that, under the terms of any Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) or Orders, rights in Intellectual Property are required to be granted to or otherwise made available to the U.S. Government, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such rights under the terms and conditions of customary license or other agreements.
Section 6. Proprietary Information.
(a) Definitions. The term “Proprietary Information” means all proprietary, confidential and/or trade secret information that relates to and is disclosed by one Party or its Affiliates (the “Originating Party”) to the other Party or its Affiliates (the “Receiving Party”) under or in connection with this Agreement; provided that Proprietary Information shall not include Transferred Intellectual Property, Licensed Intellectual Property, Licensed-Back
8
Intellectual Property or Spinco Business Proprietary Information, it being understood that such confidential information and data shall be protected and preserved by the Parties in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the term “Proprietary Information” shall include all pricing data and information disclosed by any Party, including any such data or information disclosed in connection with a Shared Contract (Parent Companies) under this Agreement.
(b) Disclosure and Use. The Receiving Party (i) shall (and shall cause its Representatives and Affiliates to) treat and hold as confidential all Proprietary Information received from the Originating Party, and (ii) shall not (and shall cause its Representatives and Affiliates not to) disclose to any Person, publish or make publicly available any Proprietary Information received from the Originating Party. The Receiving Party shall use Proprietary Information received from the Originating Party solely during the term of this Agreement and solely in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall not use or disclose any pricing data or information of an Originating Party in any Bid or proposal, other than in connection with proposals submitted under a Shared Contract (Parent Companies) in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) Exceptions. This Agreement shall not restrict disclosure or use of Proprietary Information that:
(i) appears in issued patents, published patent applications or other publications that are generally available to the public;
(ii) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives or Affiliates;
(iii) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source that, to such Receiving Party’s knowledge, is not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation; or
(iv) is or has been independently developed by the Receiving Party as evidenced by written documentation;
provided that information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because such information is embraced by more general information in the public domain, unless the information itself is in the public domain.
(d) Disclosures Required by Applicable Law. In addition to the foregoing exceptions, in the event the Receiving Party is requested or required (by oral or written request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or by Applicable Law) to disclose any Proprietary Information, then the Receiving Party shall notify the Originating Party promptly of the request or requirement so that the Originating Party, at its expense, may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with this Section 6. If, in the absence of a protective order or receipt of a waiver
9
hereunder, the Receiving Party is, on the advice of counsel, required to disclose such Proprietary Information, the Receiving Party may so disclose the information; provided that the Receiving Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such information.
(e) No Other Rights Granted. Proprietary Information shall remain the property of the Originating Party. Neither this Agreement nor disclosure of Proprietary Information hereunder shall be construed as granting any right or license under any trade secrets, copyrights, inventions, patents or other Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned or controlled by either Party.
(f) Non-Exclusive. The rights and obligations of the Parties set forth in this Section 6 are in addition and subject to any additional or supplemental agreements with respect to confidentiality or protection of proprietary information that may be agreed between the Parties.

Except as otherwise provided herein, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. Any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but only by a written notice signed by such Party expressly waiving such term or condition. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision hereunder shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereunder.
(c) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE SEPARATION AGREEMENT, AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF PARENT OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, SPINCO AGREES THAT PARENT AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERFORMANCE BY SPINCO IN ANY RESPECT OF THE SPINCO ORDERS OR TO ANY SPINCO COMPANY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR IN
11
CONNECTION WITH THE SPINCO ORDERS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 9. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that, except as a result of the Contemplated Transactions, neither Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any attempted assignment, delegation or transfer in violation of this Section 9 shall be null and void.
Section 10. Construction. As used in this Agreement, any reference to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include all genders, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural. References in this Agreement to a Party or other Person include their respective successors and assigns. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation” unless such phrase otherwise appears. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to Sections and Exhibits shall be deemed references to Sections of and Exhibits to this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, the words “hereof,” “hereby” and “herein” and words of similar meaning when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular Section or provision hereof. Except when used together with the word “either” or otherwise for the purpose of identifying mutually exclusive alternatives, the term “or” has the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”. With regard to each and every term and condition of this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that the same have or has been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, and that if at any time the Parties desire or are required to interpret or construe any such term or condition or any agreement or instrument subject thereto, no consideration shall be given to the issue of which Party actually prepared, drafted or requested any term or condition of this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to “dollars” or “$” shall mean United States dollars. Any period of time hereunder ending on a day that is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next Business Day.
Section 11. Entire Agreement.
(a) This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other agreements contemplated hereby or thereby constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(b) THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, PROMISE, INDUCEMENT, UNDERSTANDING, COVENANT OR AGREEMENT HAS BEEN MADE OR RELIED UPON BY ANY PARTY OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. SPINCO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PARENT HAS INFORMED IT THAT NO PERSON HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED BY PARENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IN RESPECT OF

Section 12. Governing Law. Except to the extent required to be governed by the provisions of the federal law of the United States, including the provisions of the FAR, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of
Delaware (without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof).
Section 13. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or PDF), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party.
Section 14. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The application of such invalid or unenforceable provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or determined to be impermissible (as evidenced in writing) by any Governmental Authority, Spinco and Parent agree to use reasonable best efforts to substitute one or more valid, legal and enforceable provisions that, insofar as practicable, implement the purposes and intent of the prohibited unenforceable, or impermissible provision.

Section 17. Disclaimer of Agency. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed in any way or for any purpose to constitute either Party an agent of the other Party in the conduct of such Party’s business or to create a partnership or joint venture between the Parties.
Section 18. Dispute Resolution.
13
(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising from, connected to or related, in any manner, to this Agreement, including any breach, termination, expiration or invalidation of this Agreement, or in respect of any aspect of the Parties’ relationship arising from this Agreement, including their respective rights, duties and obligations to each other, whether fiduciary or otherwise, and whether based on contract, tort, statute or otherwise, (a “Dispute”) that is not, for any reason, resolved in writing amicably by the Parties within 30 days after the date of delivery of a request by a Party to the other Parties to the dispute for such amicable settlement, shall be resolved and decided by final and binding arbitration, pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) as administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in force as at the date of this Agreement, except as modified herein. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and any provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.
(b) The legal seat of the arbitration shall be Wilmington,
Delaware. Without prejudice to the legal seat of arbitration, and for the convenience of the parties, the arbitral hearings and other proceedings shall be held in Washington, D.C., or at such other location upon which the parties to the arbitration may agree in writing.
(c) The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.
(d) The arbitral tribunal (“Arbitral Tribunal”) shall consist of three arbitrators. The claimant(s) and respondent(s), respectively, shall each appoint one arbitrator within 30 days of the date of delivery of the demand of arbitration, and the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the two Party-appointed arbitrators within 30 days of the date of appointment of the second arbitrator. Any arbitrator not timely appointed as provided herein shall be appointed by the AAA. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the claimant and the respondent in the arbitration shall be permitted to consult with its respective appointed arbitrator in connection with such arbitrators’ selection of the third arbitrator.
(e) The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the exclusive right to determine the arbitrability of any Disputes.
(f) The parties shall share equally the arbitration administrative fees, the panel member fees and costs, and any other costs associated with the arbitration. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees. The Arbitral Tribunal shall have no authority to award damages in excess of any limitations set forth in this Agreement.
(g) The Arbitral Tribunal shall be required to apply the substantive laws of the State of
Delaware (without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof that would compel the laws of another jurisdiction) in ruling upon any Dispute.
(h) The Parties agree that the dispute resolution procedures specified in this Section 18 shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of Disputes, including all documents made a part thereof; provided, however, that any Party may seek a preliminary injunction or other preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration before any court of competent jurisdiction if such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage. Despite such action, the Parties shall continue to participate in good faith in the procedures specified in this Section 18.
14
(i) Any decision or award of the Arbitral Tribunal shall be reasoned and in writing, and shall be final and binding upon the parties to the arbitration proceeding. The Parties agree not to invoke or exercise any rights to appeal, review, vacate or impugn such decision or award by the Arbitral Tribunal, except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act (including Chapters 2 and 3 thereof) or the New York Convention, as applicable. The Parties also agree that judgment upon the arbitral decision or award may be entered and enforced against the parties to the arbitration proceeding or their assets wherever they may be found (to whose jurisdiction the parties consent for the purpose of entering and enforcing judgment on the arbitral decision and award) as well as any other court having jurisdiction thereof.
(j) If any prevailing party is required to retain counsel to enforce the arbitral decision or award in a court of competent jurisdiction, the Party against whom the decision or award is made shall reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred and paid to said counsel for such service.
(k) The Parties agree and understand that, except as may be required by Applicable Law or any national or international stock exchange regulations applicable to a Party, or is required to protect or pursue a legal right, every aspect concerning the process of arbitration shall be treated with the utmost confidentiality and that the arbitration procedure itself shall be confidential.
(l) The Parties agree that notifications of any proceedings, reports, communications, orders, arbitral decisions, arbitral awards, arbitral award enforcement petitions, and any other document shall be sent as set forth in Section 7.
(m) The parties consent that any pending or contemplated arbitration hereunder may be consolidated with any prior arbitration arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Merger Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement) for the purposes of efficiency and to avoid the possibility of inconsistent awards. An application for such consolidation may be made by any party to this Agreement or such other Transaction Documents to the tribunal for the prior arbitration. The tribunal to the prior arbitration shall, after providing all interested parties the opportunity to comment on such application, order that any such pending or contemplated arbitration be consolidated into a prior arbitration if it determines that (i) the issues in the arbitrations involve common questions of law or fact, (ii) no party to either arbitration shall be prejudiced, whether by delay or otherwise, by the consolidation, (iii) any party to the pending or contemplated arbitration which did not join an application for consolidation, or does not consent to such an application, is sufficiently related to the parties in the prior arbitration that their interests were sufficiently represented in the appointment of the tribunal for the prior arbitral tribunal, and (iv) consolidation would be more efficient that separate arbitral proceedings.
Section 19. Consent to Jurisdiction. Any Proceeding seeking to obtain a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of arbitration in connection with this Agreement shall and may be brought in the
Delaware Court of Chancery, or, where such court does not have jurisdiction, any state or federal court within the State of
Delaware (“
Delaware Courts”), and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts thereto) in
15
any such Proceeding and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to venue laid therein, any objection on the grounds of forum non conveniens, or any objection based on or on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such Proceeding in any Delaware Court (and of the appropriate appellate courts thereto). Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and agrees that service or process in any such Proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the State of Delaware, in any manner permitted by applicable law or, without limiting the foregoing, in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.

RESERVED BUSINESS AREA
| |
| (I)
| Reserved Business Area: The “Reserved Business Area” for purposes of this Agreement means all prospective Orders that are not within the “Parent Scope” referenced below.
|
| |
| (1)
| Prospective Orders where, as of the Distribution Effective Time, Parent (including the portions of the former IS&GS business area that are not part of the Spinco Business, but excluding the Spinco Business) (“LM Remainco”) is an incumbent.
|
| |
| (2)
| Prospective Orders where the predominant work under the Order is of the type that, as of the Distribution Effective Time, is more within the “core competencies” of LM Remainco than the “core competencies” of the Spinco Business.
|
For purposes of determining the foregoing, the “core competencies” of LM Remainco and the Spinco Business will be based on which Party has the most relevant past performance, including the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data (including whether LM Remainco is or was the OEM), and general trends in the contractor’s performance, in a good faith effort to classify the scope as being primarily within the scope of one party or the other party. Reference is made to FAR 15.305, Proposal Evaluation, for factors relevant to this determination.
Parent may not submit a quotation, bid or proposal for a prospective Order if the submission of such quotation, bid or proposal to the U.S. Government would violate Applicable Law, breach any Contract of Spinco as of the Distribution Effective Time or would create an Organizational Conflict of Interest (“OCI”) issue for RMT Parent or Spinco, it being understood and agreed that the Parties will consider good faith modifications to the quotation, bid or proposal or the role of the Parties in submitting the quotation, bid or proposal for the purposes of avoiding any such violation of Applicable Law, breach or OCI issue.
No prospective Order shall be within the Parent Scope to the extent that
(a) the Spinco Business is the incumbent, or
(b) the prospective Order or competition that is the subject of the prospective Order was in the Spinco Business’s long range plan as of December 3, 2015.
All prospective Orders that are not within the Parent Scope referenced above.
* * * *
Upon the expiration of each Shared Contract (Parent Companies), either Party may bid on any replacement vehicle or recompete procurement.
| |
| (III)
| Dispute Resolution Process:
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 18 of the Agreement, disputes between the Parties regarding whether a particular prospective Order falls within or outside of the Reserved Business Area shall be resolved as follows:
| |
| (a)
| All disputes shall be escalated promptly to senior management of Parent and Spinco.
|
Senior management shall have 48 hours to resolve any dispute from the time such conflict is identified to both Parties. In the case of Parent, senior management shall mean:
Xxxxxxx (Xxxxx) F. O’Bryane
xxxxxxx.x.xxxxxx@xxxx.xxx
000-000-0000 (office)
000-000-0000 (cell)
and
Xxx Xxxxx
xxx.xxxxx@xxxx.xxx
000-000-0000 (office)
000-000-0000 (cell)
and, in the case of Spinco, senior management shall mean:
Xxxxxx (Xxxxx) A. Fasano
xxxxxx.x.xxxxxx@xxxx.xxx
000-000-0000 (office)
000-000-0000 (cell)
and
Xxx X. Denver
xxx.x.xxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx
000-000-0000 (office)
000-000-0000 (cell)
or, in each case, such other individual(s) as a Party may designate in advance to the other.
| |
| (b)
| If no agreement is reached in accordance with paragraph (a), then the dispute shall be referred to an outside expert (an “Expert”) agreed upon by the Parties, which Expert shall be promptly engaged by the Parties. Such Expert (i) must have expertise in government contracting, IDIQ vehicles and GSA schedules, (ii) must not have a conflict of interest (unless such conflict is waived in the sole discretion of the relevant Party and any relevant third parties) and (iii) may or may not be an attorney.
|
The Parties must provide a copy of the prospective Order request, request for quote or similar document provided by the procuring agency, along with all position papers and other relevant documentation to such Expert(s) immediately upon engagement, and shall cooperate to facilitate the Expert(s)’s review of the dispute. The Expert(s) shall have five Business Days from the time of engagement to resolve the dispute, or such longer period as may be agreed by the Parties; provided, that if the applicable quotation, bid or proposal is due within a period of less than 30 days from the time of engagement, then the Expert shall have no more than three Business Days from the time of engagement to resolve the dispute.
If Parent is not an incumbent and the Expert(s) cannot make a determination that the task order is more within the “core competencies” of Parent than the “core competencies” of the Spinco Business (effectively, a tie), then Parent shall have the sole right to submit or cause its Subsidiaries to submit a Parent Bid on the opportunity.
| |
| (c)
| Any dispute resolved in accordance with this dispute resolution process shall be final and binding upon the Parties.
|
* * * *
EXHIBIT E
COST PRINCIPLES
| |
| 1.
| With respect to each Shared Contract (Parent Companies), Parent will, or will cause the applicable Parent Subsidiary to, take reasonable best efforts to maintain each Spinco PO within a cost segment that is generally compatible with the work being performed and the competitive environment of such Spinco PO, broadly consistent with Parent’s general business practices.
|
| |
| 2.
| With respect to any Existing Spinco PO, any Spinco Bid PO, or any New Spinco PO resulting from any quotation, bid or proposal for any Order made by the Spinco Business under the Shared Contracts (Parent Companies) (a “Spinco Future Bid”) that is fully and finally submitted (it being understood that revisions may occur in connection with customer requests and negotiations following final proposal submission)within ninety (90) days after the Distribution Effective Time (together, “Covered Spinco POs”), in each case, in the event and to the extent it becomes impracticable due to customer reaction or otherwise in Parent’s reasonable good faith determination to maintain both (a) the pricing applicable to such Covered Spinco PO, and (b) recovery by Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary of arms-length subcontract management, material handling and/or other actual costs included in such Covered Spinco PO in accordance with Section 2(d)(i), then (b) shall be reduced accordingly.
|
| |
| 3.
| With respect to any Spinco PO resulting from a Spinco Future Bid that is fully and finally submitted (it being understood that revisions may occur in connection with customer requests and negotiations following final proposal submission)more than ninety (90) days after the Distribution Effective Time, in the event and to the extent it becomes impracticable due to customer reaction or otherwise in Parent’s reasonable good faith determination to maintain both (a) the pricing applicable to such Spinco PO, and (b) recovery by Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary of arms-length subcontract management, material handling and/or other actual costs included in such Spinco PO in accordance with Section 2(d)(i), then (b) shall be reduced accordingly and any resulting reduction in (b) shall be deemed to be Damages to Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary, and Spinco shall promptly indemnify and hold harmless Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary from and against any such Damages.
|
| |
| 4.
| With respect to any Covered Spinco PO, in the event and to the extent Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary incurs any penalty or price, cost recovery, or fee reduction due to a customer finding of excessive subcontracting pass-through resulting from consummation of the undertakings contemplated by the Transaction Documents, then Spinco shall have no liability to Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary.
|
| |
| 5.
| With respect to any Spinco PO resulting from a Spinco Future Bid that is fully and finally submitted (it being understood that revisions may occur in connection with customer requests and negotiations following final proposal submission) more than ninety (90) days after the Distribution Effective Time, in the event and to the extent Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary incurs any penalty or price, cost recovery, or fee reduction due to a customer finding of excessive subcontracting pass-through resulting from consummation of the undertakings contemplated by the Transaction Documents, then any such penalty or reduction shall be deemed to be Damages to Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary, and Spinco shall promptly indemnify and hold harmless Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary from and against any such Damages.
|
| |
| 6.
| Parent shall (and Spinco will cooperate with Parent to) use reasonable efforts to convince the applicable customers that provisions for recovery by Parent or the applicable Subsidiary of arms-length subcontract management, material handling and/or other actual costs included in Spinco POs in accordance with Section 2(d)(i) are related to the performance of subcontract management functions that constitute “Added Value” (as such term is defined in Section 52.215-23 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (October 2009)).
|
| |
| 7.
| For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to the hold harmless and indemnification provisions in Cost Principles Paragraphs 3 and 5 above, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Spinco from submitting any Spinco Future Bids for 100% of the scope of a prospective Order by reason of a limitation on excessive subcontracting pass-through charges or any actual or anticipated impracticality of maintaining both the (a) pricing applicable to such Order or the associated Spinco PO and (b) recovery by Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary of arms-length subcontract management, material handling and/or other actual costs in accordance with Section 2(d)(i).
