Except for the Services expressly contemplated to be provided in accordance with this Section 2.1, the Parties shall have no obligation under this Agreement to provide any services to the other Party or their respective group or in respect of any business, assets or properties not forming part of such group as of the Effective Date.
(b) Nature and Quality of Services. The quality of the Services provided by one Party to the other shall be substantially similar to those provided to each Party’s own group and, where applicable, substantially consistent with the quality and scope of the Services provided prior to the Effective Date. If either Party identifies any commercial or other service that is needed by it to assure a smooth and orderly transition of the businesses in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, and that is not otherwise governed by the provisions of the Separation Agreement or any other agreement among the Parties, the Parties will cooperate in good faith in determining whether there is a mutually acceptable basis on which the other Party will provide such service and shall document such basis in a Statement of Work (a “SOW”). Any such additional services that the Parties may provide are herein referred to as “Additional Services”. Any such Additional Services so provided by SunEdison shall constitute Services under this Agreement and be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement as if fully set forth in an Annex as of the date hereof and shall be based on the terms included in the applicable Annex if not otherwise agreed in a SOW.
(c) Limitations; Resource Allocations.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Party shall be required to perform Services hereunder or take any actions relating thereto that conflict with or violate any applicable Law, contract, license, authorization, certification or permit or the Parties’ respective governance policies, as they may be amended from time to time. Without limiting the above, the provision of the Services may require consents, waivers, or approvals from certain third parties under permits, licenses and agreements to which the Parties or one of their respective Affiliates is a party (a “Third Party License”) to enable SunEdison or SSL to provide the Services. Each Party shall promptly notify the other, providing reasonable detail of any specific impairment in the ability to provide any Services by reason of the limitations described in this Section 2.1(c)(i). The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to develop a resolution that enables the Parties to continue the provision of the Services, including obtaining any required consents, waivers or approvals under a Third Party License, with the costs of obtaining such consents, waivers or approvals being the responsibility of service
recipient, subject however to the prior written approval of such Party receiving the service before such costs shall be borne. If no commercially reasonable resolution is available within sixty (60) calendar days of notice of such impairment, either Party may, without any liability hereunder, immediately terminate the affected Service by providing written notice to the other Party.
(ii) The Parties hereby represent and agree that each Party and the other members of the respective group will use the Services provided hereunder only in accordance with all applicable Laws, and in accordance with the conditions, rules, regulations and specifications which may be set forth in any manuals, materials, documents or instructions made available or communicated by one Party to the other Party or any of the other members of the such Party’s group on an ongoing basis throughout the term of this Agreement.
(iii) The Parties acknowledge that each Party provides similar services to itself and other members of their respective group. Consequently, each Party may, from time to time, experience competing demands for its various services. Accordingly, the Parties agree that the other Party may use its reasonable discretion in prioritizing requests for service delivery among the other group and other members of their own group, in each case consistent with past practices; provided that each Party communicates scheduling issues associated with the delivery of any particular service hereunder with the relevant personnel from the other Party, and each Party makes commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate requests for services (provided such services requested are consistent with services provided to the other group by SunEdison prior to the Effective Date). Neither Party shall be required to add or retain staff, equipment, facilities or other resources in order to provide any Service unless otherwise agreed in the applicable Annex. Each Party shall have the right to outsource all or portions of some Services to qualified third parties if such Party deems it necessary for it and the other members of its group’s personnel to continue to adequately perform their other job functions.
(iv) If the Parties receive written notice from any third party service provider that such Person intends to terminate a service pursuant to which the Party provide a Service to the other or any member of the other’s group, then such Party shall provide a copy of the written notice to the other Party and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure the continued provision of that service from such third party or an alternative service provider. If continued provision of that service from such third party or an alternative service provider is not possible, the Party formerly providing such service to the other shall not be required to provide the affected Service.
(d) Transition of Services. The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services. Accordingly, each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to make a transition of each Service to its own internal organization or to obtain alternate third-party sources to provide such Services within twenty-four (24) months after the execution of this Agreement.
(e) Services Not Included. It is not the intent of either Party to render or receive from the other Party, professional advice or opinions, whether with regard to tax, legal, treasury, finance, employment or other business and financial matters, technical advice, whether with regard to information technology or other matters, or the handling of or addressing environmental matters. Neither party shall rely on, or construe, any Service rendered by or on behalf of the other Party as such professional advice or opinions or technical advice, and each Party shall seek third-party professional advice and opinions or technical advice as it may desire or need.
(f) Cancellation of Services Prior to Expiration Date.
(i) Subject to Section 2.1(f)(ii), neither Party shall have an obligation to provide any Service beyond the earlier of (A) the Termination Date for such Service as provided in the applicable Annex for such Service, (B) the Expiration Date, (C) any time following announcement of a transaction involving a Change of Control of SSL, or (D) any time either Party (or any member of the such Party’s group) shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to any Service or any part thereof and the other Party has provided notice in writing in accordance with Section 3.9 of such failure and such failure except as set forth in subsection (1) below with respect to a payment failure, shall have continued uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the Party failing to perform of written notice of such failure or is incapable of remedy. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure by one Party to pay the full amount of any invoiced amount when due shall be considered a breach of such Party’s material obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure to pay (1) is cured within two (2) business days to the satisfaction of the Party that should have received payment or (2) results from a good faith dispute in accordance with and subject to Section 2.5. In the event of a Change of Control of SSL pursuant to Section 2.1(f)(iv) SunEdison may elect, by delivery of notice in writing to SSL in accordance with Section 3.9, to terminate any or all Services hereunder, such termination to take effect on the date or dates specified by SunEdison in such notice; provided that without the written consent of SSL, no such termination of Service shall occur prior to the closing of such Change of Control transaction.
(ii) Unless otherwise provided in the relevant Annex for such Services, each Party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement or any one or more of the Services, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Expiration Date; provided that such Party gives the other Party at least forty (45) days prior written notice of its election to exercise such option. During the Term, a Party may cause the other Party to resume the provision of any previously-terminated Service, at a cost determined in accordance with the relevant Annex, by providing SunEdison with written notice of the desire to resume such Service.
(iii) Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time with immediate effect upon serving written notice upon the other Party if the other Party suffers an Insolvency Event.
(iv) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the acquisition of a controlling interest of SSL, or any member of the SSL Group possessing rights under this Agreement, by certain third parties which may have a conflict of interest with the business objectives of SunEdison presents a potential risk to SunEdison. Therefore, the Parties agree as follows. If a third party obtains a controlling interest in SSL or a member of the SSL Group is merged or consolidated with a third party (in each case, a “Change in Control”), then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of any such third party that is a successor in interest of SSL or member of the SSL Group, as the case may be, and SunEdison shall remain bound to all of its obligations and entitled to all of its rights hereunder, except that, SunEdison shall have the right upon ten (10) days written notice, such notice to be provided within thirty (30) days of such Change in Control, to immediately terminate this Agreement. For purposes hereof “controlling interest” means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the applicable Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding the above sentences in this Section 2.1(f)(iv) or any other term of this Agreement, in the event a third party (which is active in any field which includes: the manufacture of polysilicon; the growth, processing and manufacture of silicon crystals and single or multi-crystalline ingots for use as a substrate for solar cell production; the processing and manufacture of solar wafers used in the photovoltaic industry; the design, processing and

(v) Upon completion of the sale or other disposition of any portion of SSL’s business, assets or properties (in each case, considered on a consolidated basis), SunEdison’s obligation to provide any Service in respect of the business, assets or properties so disposed shall terminate automatically and without any notice or other action by SSL, and the aggregate level or volume of such Service required to be provided to SSL (and, in the case of a Service, if any, for which the cost is not specified as a Service Fee, the service costs payable by SSL in respect thereof shall be reduced appropriately upon mutual written consent of the Parties. In the event of such a sale or other disposition, SSL shall remain liable for the payment for any Services Fees attributable to Services performed on account of such business, asset or property prior to the event.
(vi) Following the Applicable Services Termination Date and except as otherwise agreed to by SunEdison and SSL, neither SunEdison nor SSL will be under any further obligation with respect to any Service so terminated; provided that each Party will remain obligated for any Service Fees for the terminated Service through the Applicable Services Termination Date.

Subject to the dispute resolution procedure for disputed amounts set forth in Section 2.7, if such senior legal officers of the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days from the date such dispute was submitted for consideration or such longer period as the Parties may agree, either Party may pursue its remedies under Section 3.11.
