NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I
SERVICES

 

Section 1.01    Provision of Services. 

 

(a)    Seller agrees to provide, or to cause its Affiliates to provide, the services (the "Services") set forth on the exhibits attached hereto (as such exhibits may be amended or supplemented pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, collectively, the "Service Exhibits") to Buyer for the respective periods and on the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the respective Service Exhibits.

 

(b)    Notwithstanding the contents of the Service Exhibits, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to respond in good faith to any reasonable request by ▇▇▇▇▇ for access to any additional services that are necessary for the operation of the business of the Company and which are not currently contemplated in the Service Exhibits, at a price to be agreed upon after good faith negotiations between the parties. Any such additional services so provided by Seller shall constitute Services under this Agreement and be subject in all respect to the provisions of this Agreement as if fully set forth on a Service Exhibit as of the date hereof.

 

(c)    The parties hereto acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services. Accordingly, as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇ 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 the Services.

 

 
 

 

(d)    Subject to Section 2.03, Section 2.04 and Section 3.05, the obligations of Seller under this Agreement to provide Services shall terminate with respect to each Service on the end date specified in the applicable Service Exhibit (the "End Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer may determine from time to time that it does not require all the Services set out on one or more of the Service Exhibits or that it does not require such Services for the entire period up to the applicable End Date. Accordingly, ▇▇▇▇▇ may terminate any Service, in whole and not in part, upon notification to Seller in writing of any such determination.

 

Section 1.02    Standard of Service. 

 

(a)    Seller represents, warrants and agrees that the Services shall be provided in good faith, in accordance with Law and, except as specifically provided in the Service Exhibits, in a manner generally consistent with the historical provision of the Services and with the same standard of care as historically provided.

 

(b)    Except as expressly set forth in Section 1.02(a) or in any contract entered into hereunder, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ makes no representations and warranties of any kind, implied or express, with respect to the Services, including, without limitation, no warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, which are specifically disclaimed. ▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement does not create a fiduciary relationship, partnership, joint venture, or relationships of trust or agency between the parties and that all Services are provided by Seller as an independent contractor.

 

Section 1.03    Access to Premises.  In order to enable the provision of the Services by Seller, ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it shall provide to Seller's and its Affiliates' employees and any third-party service providers or subcontractors who provide Services, at no cost to Seller, access to the facilities, assets, and books and records of the Company, in all cases to the extent necessary for Seller to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE II
COMPENSATION

 

Section 2.01    Responsibility for Wages and Fees. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), employees employed by the Seller or its Affiliates at the request of Buyer to provide services on behalf of the Company shall be terminated and Buyer shall hire and on-board such employees at its discretion. Buyer shall reimburse Seller within 5 business days for any payroll, PTO, or other related expenses paid or incurred by Seller or its Affiliates with respect to such employees for the period of time between the Closing and respective employee termination dates by Seller or its Affiliates. Accordingly, Buyer shall be solely responsible for the payment and provision of all wages, bonuses and commissions, PTO, employee benefits, including severance and worker's compensation, and the withholding and payment of applicable Taxes relating to such employment from and after the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall not charge Buyer for any charges or payments hereunder for the services provided directly by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ during the first thirty (30) days hereunder (the “Initial Seller’s Fee”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Initial Seller’s Fee shall not include any and all charges, payments or other amounts incurred hereunder for services provided by any third-party service providers (“Third-Party Fees”). To the extent that a Third-Party is required or requested by Buyer to provide the service, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of same and Seller shall provide contact information for a third-party service provider capable of providing such service. Buyer shall have the right to contact any such third-party service provider and specifically negotiate, approve or reject such service and related Third-Party Fees directly with such third-party service provider. If approved, Buyer shall be responsible for the applicable Third-Party Fees.

 

 
 

 

Section 2.02    Terms of Payment and Related Matters. 

 

(a)    As consideration for provision of the Services, Buyer shall pay Seller on the 1st of each month the amount specified for each Service on such Service's respective Service Exhibit. In addition to such amount, in the event that Seller or any of its Affiliates incurs reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in the provision of any Service, including, without limitation, license fees and payments to third-party service providers or subcontractors, but excluding payments made to employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 2.01 (such included expenses, collectively, "Out-of-Pocket Costs"), Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all such Out-of-Pocket Costs in accordance with the invoicing procedures set forth in Section 6.01.

 

(b)    It is the intent of the parties that the compensation set forth in the respective Service Exhibits reasonably approximate the cost of providing the Services, including the cost of employee wages and compensation, without any intent to cause Seller to receive profit or incur loss. If at any ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ believes that the payments contemplated by a specific Service Exhibit are materially insufficient to compensate it for the cost of providing the Services it is obligated to provide hereunder, or ▇▇▇▇▇ believes that the payments contemplated by a specific Service Exhibit materially overcompensate Seller for such Services, such party shall notify the other party as soon as possible, and the parties hereto will commence good faith negotiations toward an agreement in writing as to the appropriate course of action with respect to pricing of such Services for future periods.

 

Section 2.03    Extension of Services. The parties agree that Seller shall not be obligated to perform any Service after the applicable End Date. If Buyer desires and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to continue to perform any of the Services after the applicable End Date, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine an amount that compensates Seller for all of its costs for such performance, including the time of its employees and its Out-of-Pocket Costs. The Services so performed by Seller after the applicable End Date shall continue to constitute Services under this Agreement and be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement for the duration of the agreed-upon extension period.

 

Section 2.04    Terminated Services. Upon termination or expiration of any or all Services pursuant to this Agreement, or upon the termination of this Agreement in its entirety, Seller shall have no further obligation to provide the applicable terminated Services, and Buyer will have no obligation to pay any future compensation or Out-of-Pocket Costs relating to such Services, other than for or in respect of Services already provided in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and received by Buyer prior to such termination.

 

 
 

 

Section 2.05    Taxes. Buyer shall be responsible for all sales or use Taxes imposed or assessed as a result of the provision of Services by Seller.

Section 3.02    Breach. Any party (the "Non-Breaching Party") may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Service, in whole but not in part, at any time upon prior written notice to the other party (the "Breaching Party") if the Breaching Party has failed (other than pursuant to Section 3.05) to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Service, and such failure shall have continued without cure for a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Breaching Party of a written notice of such failure from the Non-Breaching party seeking to terminate such service.

Section 3.05    Force Majeure. The obligations of Seller under this Agreement with respect to any Service shall be suspended during the period and to the extent that Seller is prevented or hindered from providing such Service, or Buyer is prevented or hindered from receiving such Service, due to any of the following causes beyond such party's reasonable control (such causes, "Force Majeure Events"): (i) acts of God, (ii) flood, fire or explosion, (iii) war, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, (iv) Governmental Order or Law, (v) actions, embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement, (vi) action by any Governmental Authority, (vii) national or regional emergency, (viii) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, (ix) shortage of adequate power or transportation facilities, or (x) any other event which is beyond the reasonable control of such party. The party suffering a Force Majeure Event shall give notice of suspension as soon as reasonably practicable to the other party stating the date and extent of such suspension and the cause thereof, and Seller shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be liable for the nonperformance or delay in performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement when such failure is due to a Force Majeure Event. The applicable End Date for any Service so suspended shall be automatically extended for a period of time equal to the time lost by reason of the suspension.
