(a) The term “Services” shall mean and refer solely to those services listed on Schedules 1 through 7 hereto (each a “Service Schedule”), that are necessary (i) for the uninterrupted and continued operations of each Business after the Distribution Date in substantially the same manner as such Business was conducted and operated immediately prior to the Distribution Date or (ii) to aid Dealer and ADP in the Transition.
(b) Commencing on the Distribution Date and continuing throughout the Term, each Service Provider agrees to provide through its Group and/or Third Party Service Providers, subject to changes in applicable Law, the Services in accordance with the applicable Service Schedules, it being understood by the Parties that (except as otherwise set forth in the Service Schedules) the Services shall be provided only to the extent that services of similar kind were provided by such Service Provider or Third Party Service Providers to the applicable Business prior to the Distribution Date. This Section 2.1(b) does not apply to the Type 2 Services set forth on Service Schedule 1 hereof.
(c) To the extent that any of the assets required by a Party (as Service Provider hereunder) to provide any Services have become the property of a Service Recipient pursuant to the Separation, such Service Recipient hereby grants to the applicable Service Provider a limited, non-exclusive license to use such assets, for a period not to exceed the Term, for the purpose of providing such Services and aiding the Transition on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
(d) The Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Transition (including in the case of Dealer, identifying and recruiting applicable new personnel) as soon as practicable and in no event later than the expiration of the Term and shall commit and provide sufficient and appropriate resources to timely complete the Transition. Each Service Provider shall also use its reasonable best efforts to assist the applicable Service Recipient in obtaining licenses and/or consents with or from any of such Service Provider’s current vendors or service providers (excluding landlords) who are providing services, products or licenses to such Service Recipient, or to such Service Provider for the benefit of such Service Recipient, prior to the Distribution Date; provided that in no event shall such assistance by such Service Provider require or be deemed to require such Service Provider to incur any additional costs or make any additional payments to any such vendors or service providers.
(e) Except with respect to a Service Provider’s applicable efforts obligations under Section 2.1(d) above, each Service Recipient acknowledges and
-6-
agrees that a Service Provider has no obligation to actually obtain licenses or consents with any vendor or service provider in connection with the Services and that any failure by a Service Provider to actually obtain any such license or consent will not constitute a breach of this Agreement or the negligence or willful misconduct of such Service Provider; provided that failure to obtain any such license or consent shall not relieve such Service Provider of its obligations to provide the applicable Services set forth herein.
(f) Unless specifically set forth elsewhere herein to the contrary, this Agreement does not apply to the services to be provided by a Service Provider (or any of its Subsidiaries) to a Service Recipient (or any of its Subsidiaries) pursuant to any Ancillary Agreements.
(g) If, after the execution of this Agreement, the Parties reasonably determine that a service (i) that was provided by a Service Provider or a Third Party Service Provider to a Service Recipient prior to the Distribution Date and (ii) is reasonably necessary to the conduct of a Business after the Distribution Date, was unintentionally omitted from the Service Schedules, then such Service Provider shall provide such additional service to such Service Recipient (with such service becoming a Service for purposes of this Agreement) and a Service Schedule shall be created for such Service, it being agreed by the Parties that the charges for such additional Services shall be their actual cost to such Service Provider (unless the exception contained in Section 2.2(b), regarding countries other than the United States, applies); provided, however, that no Service Provider shall be required to provide any additional service, or at any price, that would prevent, or be reasonably likely to prevent, or be inconsistent with the qualification of the Separation as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.
(h) The Parties hereby agree that each Service Provider is under no obligation to enter into any engagements with new Third Party Service Providers in connection with this Agreement unless (i) such Service Provider is entering into such new engagements with respect to its own internal business or in its ordinary course of business and (ii) the applicable Service Recipient is not able to engage its own third party service providers with respect to the same subject matter within the applicable timing needs of such Service Recipient. Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to transition from the other Group and the Third Party Service Providers to itself or its own third party service providers.

(a) Each Service Provider shall provide, and shall cause any Third Party Service Providers to provide, the Services with at least the same level of service and degree of quality as provided by such Service Provider to the Distribution Date; provided, however, that, in light of the supervision and management of the ADP PL Dealer Associates, ADP (as Service Provider) shall not be responsible for either the level of service or degree of quality of the Type 2 Services set forth on Service Schedule 1.
-7-
(b) Each Service Schedule shall, in addition to the Services to be delivered by a Service Provider, set forth the fees to be paid by the Service Recipient for such Services (collectively, the “Fees”). If not set forth in any Service Schedule, the Parties agree that the Fees for each of the Services are intended to be equal to the Service Provider’s applicable allocated costs to the applicable Business prior to the Distribution, except to the extent that legal counsel with respect to any applicable country other than the United States (including India) has advised that a different fee for the Services is required or is more appropriate under the applicable Law of such other country.
(c) Not more than thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar month during the Term, each Service Provider (directly or through one or more of its Affiliates) shall issue a monthly invoice to the Service Recipient, setting forth the Fees (itemized by Service) and any applicable taxes payable by such Service Recipient for such calendar month.
(d) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable Service Schedules, the aggregate Fees under the Service Schedules shall be paid in full by each Service Recipient within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice from the Service Provider, unless such Service Recipient in good faith disputes the amount of Fees contained in any such invoice, as provided in Section 2.2(e) below.

(g) Each Service Provider shall promptly correct any errors or omissions in any of the Services that it has provided to a Service Recipient hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnified Party or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 5.2(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article V, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect (but is not required) to assume the defense of and defend, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 5.2(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. If, in such notice, the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense solely of such Indemnified Party.
(c) If, in such notice, an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election as provided in Section 5.2(b), such Indemnified Party may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement).
(d) The Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to compromise or settle a Third Party Claim the defense of which it shall have assumed pursuant to Section 5.2(b) except with the consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Any such settlement or compromise made or caused to be made of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article V shall be binding on the Indemnified Party in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnified Party’s
-13-
failure to consent to any such settlement or compromise shall be deemed unreasonable if such settlement or compromise (1) provides for an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from liability with respect to such Third Party Claim and (2) does not require the Indemnified Party to make any payment that is not fully indemnified under this Agreement or to be subject to any non-monetary remedy. If the Indemnified Party unreasonably withholds a consent required by this Section 5.2(d) to the terms of a compromise or settlement of a Third Party Claim proposed to the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim (if applicable) shall not exceed the total amount that had been proposed in such compromise or settlement offer plus the amount of all expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim through the date on which such consent was requested.
(e) In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.
(f) All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Article V shall be paid promptly in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Indemnified Party.
Section 5.3 Limitation on Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUBCONTRACTORS BE LIABLE REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR LEGAL THEORY FOR (A) INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND RELATED TO THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, (B) IN THE CASE WHERE ADP IS THE SERVICE PROVIDER, LOSSES RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT IN EXCESS OF AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT EQUAL TO $500,000.00 AND (C) IN THE CASE WHERE DEALER IS THE SERVICE PROVIDER, LOSSES RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT IN EXCESS OF AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT EQUAL TO $100,000.00.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES, AND EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO MERCHANTABILITY, OR SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
