The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1 are, to the extent necessary, subject to modification with respect to Liabilities for Covisint Compensation Items (as such term is defined in the Tax Sharing Agreement) related to Options (as such term is defined in the Tax Sharing Agreement), stock, performance share units, or options under employee stock purchase plans granted before the Effective Date and Covisint shall assume and agree to pay, perform, fulfill or discharge all Liabilities for such Covisint Compensation Items under this Section 2.1 to the extent that Covisint is entitled to the Tax Benefit of such Covisint Compensation Items as provided in Section 9.01(b) and Section 9.01(c) of the Tax Sharing Agreement, subject to the application of Section 9.02 of the Tax Sharing Agreement. For purposes of clarity, the definitions of Covisint Employee and Former Covisint Employee, as each definition is set forth in the Tax Sharing Agreement, shall apply for purposes of the assumption of the Liabilities for the Covisint Compensation Items described in the immediately preceding sentence, but such definitions shall not otherwise apply for purposes of this Agreement unless specified otherwise. To the extent that Compuware issues or delivers stock of Compuware in connection with a Liability assumed by Covisint pursuant to this Section 2.1, Compuware shall issue or deliver such stock as an agent of Covisint.

Section 2.2 Retention of Liabilities by Compuware. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Compuware shall retain and agree to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, as the case may be (i) all Liabilities under the Compuware Plans, other than those retained or assumed by Covisint pursuant to Section 2.1, (ii) all employment or service-related Liabilities, other than those retained or assumed by Covisint pursuant to Section 2.1, with respect to (A) all Compuware Employees (and their spouses, domestic partners, dependents and other beneficiaries), (B) all former Compuware Employees (and their spouses, domestic partners, dependents and other beneficiaries), and (C) any Person who is, or was, an independent contractor, temporary employee, temporary service worker, consultant, freelancer, agency employee, leased employee, on-call worker, incidental worker or non-payroll worker or in any other contractual relationship with Compuware or a Compuware Entity.

Section 2.3 Terms of Participation by Covisint Employees in Covisint Plans. Subject to their mutual agreement (which agreement shall not unreasonably be withheld by a Party), Compuware and Covisint shall adopt, or cause to be adopted, all reasonable and necessary plan amendments and procedures to prevent the IPO from being deemed to be a termination of employment for any Covisint Employee or other participating individual under any Compuware Plan or any Covisint Plan.

Section 2.4 Continuation of Independent Contractor Arrangements. Unless otherwise requested by Covisint, Compuware or a Compuware Entity shall continue to maintain (and renew if necessary) all agreements and arrangements with independent contractors and consultants who directly or indirectly provide services for Covisint or a Covisint Entity or to the Covisint Business, and Covisint shall continue to pay or reimburse Compuware or such Compuware Entity for the cost of such services in the ordinary course in accordance with the procedures and arrangements used by the Parties immediately prior to the Effective Date.

(b) 401(k) Plan and Fringe Benefits. Except as specified otherwise in this Agreement, effective as of the Distribution Date or such other date(s) as Compuware and Covisint may mutually agree, Covisint shall establish the Covisint 401(k) Plan as more fully described in ARTICLE III and the Covisint Fringe Benefits as more fully described in ARTICLE IV.

(c) Covisint under No Obligation to Maintain Plans. Except as specified otherwise in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Covisint or any Covisint Entity, at any time after the Distribution Date, from amending, merging, modifying, terminating,

eliminating, reducing, or otherwise altering in any respect any Covisint Plan, any benefit under any Covisint Plan or any trust, insurance policy or funding vehicle related to any Covisint Plan (to the extent permitted by law).

Section 2.6 Covisint’s Participation in Compuware Plans.

(a) Participation in Compuware Plans. Except as specified otherwise in this Agreement, or as Compuware and Covisint may mutually agree, Covisint shall (provided it has not already done so) adopt as a Participating Company each Compuware Plan in effect as of Effective Date, to the extent that Covisint has not yet established a similar type Covisint Plan. Effective as of any date on or after Effective Date and before the Distribution Date (or such other date as Compuware and Covisint may mutually agree upon), any member of the Covisint Group not described in the preceding sentence may, at its request and with the consent of Compuware and Covisint, become a Participating Company in any Compuware Plan, to the extent that Covisint has not yet established a similar type Covisint Plan.

(b) Compuware’s General Obligations as Plan Sponsor. To the extent that Covisint (or any Covisint Entity) is a Participating Company in any Compuware Plan(s), Compuware shall continue to administer, or cause to be administered, in accordance with their terms and applicable law, such Compuware Plan(s), and shall have the sole and absolute discretion and authority to interpret the Compuware Plan(s), as set forth therein. Compuware shall not, without first consulting with Covisint, amend or terminate any material feature of any Compuware Plan in which Covisint (or any Covisint Entity) is a Participating Company, except to the extent such amendment or termination would not affect any benefits of Covisint Employees under such Plan or as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law.

(c) Covisint’s General Obligations as Participating Company. Covisint (or any Covisint Entity) shall perform with respect to its participation in the Compuware Plans under this Section 2.6, the duties of a Participating Company as set forth in each such Plan or any procedures adopted pursuant thereto, including (without limitation): (i) assisting in the administration of claims, to the extent requested by the claims administrator of the applicable Compuware Plan; (ii) cooperating with Compuware Plan auditors, benefit personnel and benefit vendors; (iii) preserving the confidentiality of all financial arrangements Compuware has or may have with any vendors, claims administrators, trustees or any other entity or individual with whom Compuware has entered into an agreement relating to the Compuware Plans; and (iv) preserving the confidentiality of participant information (including, without limitation, health information in relation to FMLA leaves) to the extent not specified otherwise in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Participating Company Status. Except as specified otherwise in this Agreement or otherwise may be mutually agreed upon by Compuware and Covisint, effective as of the Distribution Date or such other date as Covisint establishes a similar type of Covisint Plan (as specified in Section 2.5 or otherwise in this Agreement), Covisint and Compuware shall take such action as may be necessary to timely cause Covisint and any Covisint Entity to cease to be a Participating Company in the corresponding Compuware Plan.

Section 2.7 Terms of Participation by Covisint Employees in Covisint Plans.

(a) Non-Duplication of Benefits. As of the Distribution Date or such other date that applies to a particular Covisint Plan, the separate Covisint Plans shall be, with respect to the Covisint Employees, in all respects the successors in interest to, and shall not provide benefits that duplicate benefits provided by the corresponding Compuware Plans. Compuware and Covisint shall mutually agree, if necessary, on methods and procedures, including amending the respective Plan documents, to prevent Covisint Employees from receiving duplicate benefits from the Compuware Plans and the Covisint Plans.

(b) Service Credit. Except as specified otherwise in this Agreement, with respect to Covisint Employees, each Covisint Plan shall provide that all service, all compensation and all other benefit-affecting determinations that, as of the Distribution Date, were recognized under the corresponding Compuware Plan shall, as of the Distribution Date, receive full recognition and credit and be taken into account under such Covisint Plan to the same extent as if such items occurred under such Covisint Plan, except to the extent that duplication of benefits would result. The service crediting provisions shall be subject to any respectively applicable “service bridging,” “break in service,” “employment date,” or “eligibility date” rules under the Covisint Plans and the Compuware Plans.

(c) ESOP. On and after the Distribution Date, Covisint Employees shall no longer participate in the ESOP, and, notwithstanding any plan design comparability requirement for the Covisint 401(k) Plan set forth in (b) above, Covisint shall have the exclusive discretion to provide for an employee stock ownership plan feature in the Covisint 401(k) Plan.

Section 4.1 Health and Welfare Plan Liabilities. The Parties shall work together in good faith to agree upon a reasonable allocation of Liabilities incurred under the Compuware Health and Welfare Plans consistent with the Parties’ current practices for allocating such Liabilities.

Section 4.2 Administration of Claims under Compuware Health and Welfare Plans. Compuware shall administer claims incurred under the Compuware Health and Welfare Plans by Covisint Employees before the Distribution Date, but only to the extent that Covisint has not, before the Distribution Date, established and assumed administrative responsibility for a comparable Plan. Any determination made or settlements entered into by Compuware with respect to such claims shall be final and binding.

Section 4.3 Post-Distribution Date Transitional Arrangements.

(a) Continuance of Elections, Co-Payments and Maximum Benefits.

(1)

As of the Distribution Date or such other date as Compuware and Covisint may mutually agree, Covisint shall cause the Covisint Health and Welfare Plans to maintain substantially comparable coverage type (e.g., single, family) and contribution elections, if any, made by Covisint Employees under the Compuware Health and Welfare Plans and apply such elections under the Covisint Health and Welfare Plans for the remainder of the period or periods, if any, for which such elections are by their terms applicable. The transfer or other movement of employment between Compuware and Covisint in connection with the Distribution shall constitute neither a “status change” under the Compuware Health and Welfare Plans or the Covisint Health and Welfare Plans nor a “qualifying event,” as defined under COBRA.

(2)

On and after the Distribution Date, Covisint shall cause the Covisint Health Plans to recognize and give credit for all benefits paid to Covisint Employees under the Compuware Health Plans (to the extent allowable by applicable insurance carriers) for all

amounts applied to deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, co-payments and other applicable benefit coverage limits with respect to which such expenses have been incurred by Covisint Employees under the Compuware Health Plans for the remainder of the calendar year in which the Distribution Date occurs. Notwithstanding the above, Covisint’s obligations under this subsection shall be limited by the market availability of health insurance products or other arrangements satisfying the criteria described above.

(b) Flexible Spending Plan. To the extent any Covisint Employee contributed to an account under the Compuware Flexible Spending Plan during the calendar year that includes the Distribution Date, then effective as of the Distribution Date, Compuware shall transfer to Covisint the actual dollar amount of the net accrued amount of the booked Compuware Flexible Spending Plan account balances of such individuals for such calendar year, and Covisint shall book and credit such individuals’ account balances in a like manner under the Compuware Flexible Spending Plan, regardless of whether any such individual’s account balance is positive or negative.

Section 4.4 Vendor and Insurance Arrangements. Prior to the Distribution Date, Compuware shall use its commercially reasonable efforts for and on behalf of Covisint to negotiate the following contracts, arrangements and/or agreements for the Covisint Health and Welfare Plans, if any, with comparable costs and features to those certain contracts, arrangements and/or agreements relating to the Compuware Health and Welfare Plans and effective as of the Distribution Date or such other date as Compuware and Covisint mutually agree upon: (a) third party administrative services only contracts; (b) group insurance policies; (c) third party outsourcing arrangements; and (d) other comparable contracts and agreements; all to be negotiated at competitive premium rates. In each case, Covisint shall, as of the Distribution Date or such other date as Compuware and Covisint mutually agree upon, establish, adopt and/or implement acceptable contracts, agreements or arrangements. In accordance with Section 9.2, Compuware shall on or before the Distribution Date provide, upon the request of Covisint, copies of such contracts or successor arrangements described in this Section 4.4.

Section 4.5 COBRA AND HIPAA. Compuware shall be responsible, through the Distribution Date, for compliance with the health care continuation coverage requirements of COBRA, the portability requirements under HIPAA and the Compuware Health and Welfare Plans with respect to Covisint Employees and their qualified beneficiaries (as such term is defined under COBRA). Compuware shall provide all necessary notices, or cause the notices to be provided, as soon as administratively practical, but in no event later than required under COBRA. Covisint shall be responsible for providing Compuware or its agents with all necessary employee change notices and related information for covered dependents, spouses, qualified beneficiaries (as such term is defined under COBRA), and alternate recipients pursuant to a qualified medical child support order (which qualifies under section 609(a) of ERISA), in accordance with applicable Compuware COBRA policies and procedures. As soon as administratively practicable after the Distribution Date, Compuware shall provide Covisint, through hard copy, electronic format or such other mechanism as is appropriate under the circumstances, with a list of all qualified beneficiaries (as such term is defined under COBRA)

that relate to the members of the Covisint Group and the relevant information pertaining to their coverage elections. Effective as of the Distribution Date, Covisint shall be solely responsible for compliance with the health care continuation coverage requirements of COBRA and the portability requirements under HIPAA for the Covisint Health and Welfare Plans for Covisint Employees and their qualified beneficiaries (as such term is defined under COBRA).

Section 4.6 Compuware Workers’ Compensation Program.

(a) Administration of Claims.

(1)

Through the Distribution Date or such other date as Compuware and Covisint may mutually agree, Compuware shall continue to be responsible for the administration of all claims that (A) are, or have been, incurred under the Compuware WCP before the Distribution Date by the Covisint Employees (“Covisint WCP Claims”), and (B) have been historically administered by Compuware or its third party administrator. However, Compuware will advise Covisint of and secure approval for any material changes to current policy or practice with respect to the administration of Covisint WCP Claims.

(2)

Effective as of the Distribution Date or such other date as Compuware and Covisint may mutually agree, Covisint shall be responsible for the administration of all Covisint WCP Claims.

(3)

Each Party shall fully cooperate with the other with respect to the administration and reporting of Covisint WCP Claims, the payment of Covisint WCP Claims determined to be payable, and the transfer of the administration of any Covisint WCP Claims to the other Party.

(b) Self-Insurance Status. Compuware shall maintain and amend, as necessary, its certificates of self-insurance and any other applicable policies to include Covisint until the Distribution Date, and Covisint shall fully cooperate with Compuware in obtaining such amendments. Compuware shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain self-insurance status for workers’ compensation for Covisint effective as of the Distribution Date in those jurisdictions in which Covisint conducts business, in which Compuware is self-insured, and where Compuware and Covisint mutually agree that such status is beneficial to Covisint. Covisint hereby authorizes Compuware to take all actions necessary and appropriate on its behalf in order to obtain such self-insurance status. All costs incurred by Compuware in amending such certificates, including without limitation filing fees, adjustments of security and excess loss policies and amendments of safety programs, shall be shared pro rata by Compuware and Covisint.

(1)

Effective as of the Distribution Date, Compuware shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate for workers’

compensation insurance policies on behalf of Covisint from the issuing insurance companies or different insurance companies which are comparable to the policies previously maintained by Compuware; provided that the retention under such Covisint policies shall be as determined by Covisint.

(2)

Compuware shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the premium rates for all workers’ compensation insurance policies for both Compuware and Covisint in effect for periods through the Distribution Date to be based on the aggregate number of employees covered under the workers’ compensation insurance policies of both Compuware and Covisint. Any premiums due under the separate workers’ compensation insurance issued to Covisint shall be payable by Covisint.

ARTICLE V.

INCENTIVE AND EQUITY COMPENSATION MATTERS

Section 5.1 Compuware Incentive Plans. All outstanding equity and incentive awards granted under the Compuware Incentive Plans held by Covisint Employees (including those individuals previously employed by a Covisint Entity) will continue under their present terms and the terms of the Compuware Incentive Plans under which such awards were granted and, to the extent such award is an equity award shall only be exercisable for, or settled with, shares of Compuware common stock. Effective as of the Distribution Date, Covisint Employees shall no longer be eligible to participate in the Compuware Incentive Plans as to any future awards granted thereunder and any outstanding awards would be forfeited in accordance with the termination provisions within the respective grant agreements.

Section 5.2 Compuware Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Compuware shall take such action as is necessary or appropriate to cause Covisint and each Covisint Entity to cease to be participating entities in the Compuware ESPP effective as of the Distribution Date and the cash balance in the accounts of all Covisint Employees shall be administered in accordance with the terms of the Compuware ESPP. Effective as of the Distribution Date, Covisint Employees shall no longer be eligible to participate in the Compuware ESPP.

ARTICLE VI.

FRINGE AND OTHER BENEFITS

Section 6.1 Fringe Benefits. Covisint Employees shall continue to participate in Compuware’s Fringe Benefit Plans, if any, through the Distribution Date or such other date upon which Compuware and Covisint mutually agree. Effective as of the Distribution Date, Covisint may, but is not required to, establish such Covisint Fringe Benefits which Covisint deems appropriate in its sole discretion. Effective as of the Distribution Date, eligible Covisint Employees determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans or programs shall only be eligible to participate in the Covisint Fringe Benefits.

Section 6.2 Other Benefits. To the extent that Compuware maintains, sponsors or provides other benefits, programs, or arrangements for its employees not specifically identified in this Agreement, then Compuware shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to make such benefits available to the Covisint Employees on substantially similar terms and conditions as are offered to the employees of any member of the Compuware Group through the Distribution Date or such other date upon which Covisint and Compuware mutually agree.

ARTICLE VII.

FOREIGN EMPLOYEES

The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall be applied equally, to the maximum extent practicable, but subject to all applicable laws, to each non-U.S. Covisint Employee. In the event that the terms and conditions of this Agreement cannot be applied equally to any non-U.S. Covisint Employee, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to give effect to the terms of this Agreement, to the maximum extent practicable.

ARTICLE VIII.

EMPLOYMENT-RELATED MATTERS

Section 8.1 Terms of Covisint Employment. Nothing in the Master Separation Agreement, this Agreement, or any Intercompany Agreement should be construed to change the at-will status of any of the employees of any member of the Compuware Group or the Covisint Group.

Section 8.2 HR Data Support Systems. Compuware shall provide human resources data support for the Covisint Employees in accordance with the terms of the Shared Services Agreement.

Section 8.3 Confidentiality and Proprietary Information. No provision of the Master Separation Agreement or any Intercompany Agreement shall be deemed to release any individual for any violation of a Compuware or Covisint non-competition guideline or any agreement or policy pertaining to confidential or proprietary information of any member of the Compuware Group or Covisint Group, or otherwise relieve any individual of his or her obligations under such non-competition guideline, agreement, or policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that the transfer of employment or services of a Covisint Employee from Compuware to Covisint shall not result in a violation or breach by such employee or service provider of any such non-competition guideline, agreement, or policy with Compuware.

Section 8.4 Employee Agreements. The Compuware Employee Agreements, if any, of all Covisint Employees shall remain in full force and effect according to their terms, unless otherwise required by applicable Federal, foreign, state or local laws.

Section 8.5 Assignment, Cooperation for Compliance and Enforcement. Compuware retains all rights under the Compuware Employee Agreements of all Covisint Employees necessary to permit Compuware to protect the rights and interests of Compuware, but hereby transfers and assigns to Covisint its rights under the Compuware Employee Agreements of all Covisint Employees to the extent required to permit Covisint to enjoin, restrain, recover damages from or obtain specific performance of the Compuware Employee Agreements or obtain other

remedies against any employee who breaches his or her Compuware Employee Agreement, and to the extent necessary to permit Covisint to protect its rights and interests. Compuware and Covisint each may separately enforce the Compuware Employee Agreements of Covisint Employees to the extent necessary to reasonably protect their respective interests. If either Party commences or becomes a party to any action to enforce a Compuware Employee Agreement of an employee of the Covisint Group or former Compuware employee, the other Party shall, whether or not it becomes a party to the action, cooperate with the other Party by making available its files and employees who have information or knowledge relevant to the dispute, subject to appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality of any proprietary or confidential information that may be disclosed in the course of such cooperation or action and subject to any relevant privacy laws and regulations. Any such action shall be conducted at the expense of the Party bringing the action and the Parties shall agree on a case by case basis on compensation, if any, of the other Party for the value of the time of such other Party’s employees as reasonably required in connection with the action.

Section 8.6 Accrued Payroll, Bonuses, Profit Sharing and Commissions. Except as otherwise specified in any Intercompany Agreement, Covisint shall be responsible for all Liabilities relating to, arising out of, or attributable to payroll, bonuses, retirement and profit-sharing plans, and commissions (and any other similar Liabilities, including those arising under applicable foreign laws) accrued by Covisint Employees as of the Effective Date through the Distribution Date; provided, however, that any such Liability giving rise to Taxes shall be governed by this Agreement and not the Tax Sharing Agreement. Compuware and Covisint shall agree on the manner, method, and amount of payment for all payroll, bonuses, retirement and profit-sharing plans, commissions, and other employee benefits and payments agreed to on behalf of the Covisint Employees (including those individuals who were providing services directly to the Covisint Business prior to the Effective Date) for the period from the Effective Date through the Distribution Date.

Section 8.7 Payroll and Withholding.

(a) Income Reporting, Withholding. Compuware shall perform in the same manner as in effect on the date of this Agreement the income reporting and withholding function under Covisint’s employer identification number for Covisint Employees and other service providers as required by the Shared Services Agreement.

(b) Delivery of, and Access to, Documents and Other Information. Concurrently with the Distribution Date, Compuware shall cause to be delivered to Covisint, all forms, documents or information, no matter in what format stored, relating to compensation or payments made to Covisint Employees. Such information may include, but is not limited to, information concerning employee payroll deductions, payroll adjustments, records of time worked (including but not limited to, all leaves of absence (whether or not FMLA-qualified) and any disability leave), tax records (e.g., IRS Forms W-2, W-4, 940 and 941), and information concerning garnishment of wages or other payments relating to the period ending on the Distribution Date (and for such additional period as Compuware and Covisint may mutually agree).

(c) Consistency of Tax Positions; Duplication. Compuware and Covisint shall individually and collectively make commercially reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessarily duplicated federal, state or local payroll taxes, insurance or workers’ compensation contributions, or unemployment contributions arising on or after the Distribution Date. Compuware and Covisint shall take consistent reporting and withholding positions with respect to any such taxes or contributions.

(d) Personnel and Pay Records. For the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Distribution Date (and for such additional period as Compuware and Covisint may mutually agree), Compuware shall make reasonably available to Covisint for review and reproduction, subject to applicable laws on confidentiality and data protection, all current and historic forms, documents or information, no matter in what format stored, relating to pre-Distribution Date personnel and medical records of the Covisint Employees. Such forms, documents or information of such Covisint Employees may include, but is not limited to: (a) information regarding ranking or promotions; (b) the existence and nature of garnishment orders or other judicial or administrative actions or orders affecting an employee’s or service provider’s compensation; and (c) performance evaluations.

ARTICLE IX.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Section 9.1 Shared Services Agreement. As of the Effective Date, Compuware and Covisint shall enter into the Shared Services Agreement covering the provision of various services to be provided by one Party to the other Party. The provisions of this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of such Shared Services Agreement, including Articles V and VI contained therein. With respect to employee benefits provided to Covisint Employees by Compuware in connection with this Agreement, Covisint shall pay to Compuware its share of the related costs in accordance with the principles set forth in Article V of the Shared Services Agreement.

Section 9.2 Sharing of Participant Information. Compuware and Covisint shall share, Compuware shall cause each applicable Compuware Entity to share, and Covisint shall cause each applicable Covisint Entity to share, with each other and their respective agents and vendors (and without obtaining releases unless otherwise required by applicable law) all participant information necessary for the efficient and accurate administration of each of the Compuware Plans and the Covisint Plans. Compuware and Covisint and their respective authorized agents shall, subject to applicable laws on confidentiality, be given reasonable and timely access to, and may make copies of, all information relating to the subjects of this Agreement in the custody of the other Party, to the extent necessary for such administration. Until the Distribution Date, all participant information shall be provided in the manner and medium applicable to Participating Companies in the Compuware Plans generally, and thereafter until the time at which the Parties subsequently determine, all participant information shall be provided in a manner and medium that are compatible with the data processing systems of Compuware as in effect as of the Effective Date, unless otherwise agreed to by Compuware and Covisint.

Section 9.3 Reporting and Disclosure Communications to Participants. While any Covisint Entity is a Participating Company in the Compuware Plans, Compuware shall take, or

cause to be taken, all actions necessary or reasonably appropriate to facilitate the distribution of all Compuware Plan-related communications and materials to all employees, participants and beneficiaries of such plans, including the Covisint Employees. Such information shall include (without limitation) summary plan descriptions and related summaries of material modification(s), summary annual reports, investment information, prospectuses, notices and enrollment material for the Compuware Plans. The Covisint Entity shall provide all information needed by Compuware to facilitate such Compuware Plan-related communications. Covisint shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or reasonably appropriate to facilitate the distribution of all Covisint Plan-related communications and materials to employees, participants and beneficiaries. Covisint shall assist, and Covisint shall cause each other applicable member of the Covisint Group to assist, Compuware in complying with all reporting and disclosure requirements of ERISA, including the preparation of Form Series 5500 annual reports, for the Compuware Plans, where applicable.

Section 9.4 Non-Termination of Employment; No Third Party Beneficiaries; Reservation of Rights of Plan Sponsors. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Agreement represent the obligations between the Parties only, and no provision of this Agreement, the Master Separation Agreement, or any Intercompany Agreement shall be construed to (i) establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained by any Party; (ii) alter or limit the ability of the Parties, as sponsors or adopting employers of any employee benefit plan, to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them; (iii) confer upon any person any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment; (iv) confer upon any person any other rights as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, or (v) create any right, or accelerate entitlement, to any compensation or benefit whatsoever on the part of any future, present, or former employee of Compuware, a Compuware Entity, Covisint, or a Covisint Entity under any Compuware Plan or Covisint Plan or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or applicable provisions of Plans, neither the occurrence of the consummation of the IPO nor any determination that a Covisint Entity is no longer eligible to be Participating Company in such Plan shall cause any employee to be deemed to have incurred a termination of employment which entitles such individual to the commencement of benefits under any of the Covisint Plans and no transfer of employment between Compuware and Covisint before the Distribution Date shall be deemed a termination of employment for any purpose hereunder.

Section 9.5 Fiduciary Matters. Compuware and Covisint each acknowledge that actions required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to fiduciary duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other applicable law, and no Party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if it fails to comply with any provisions hereof based upon its good faith determination that to do so would violate such a fiduciary duty or standard. Each Party shall be responsible for taking such actions as are deemed necessary and appropriate to comply with its own fiduciary responsibilities and shall fully release the other Party for any Liabilities imposed on such Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement by the failure to satisfy any such responsibility.

Section 9.6 Audits Regarding Vendor Contracts. From the period beginning as of the Distribution Date or such other date as Compuware and Covisint mutually agree upon and ending on such date as Compuware and Covisint may mutually agree, Compuware and Covisint and their duly authorized representatives shall have the right to conduct joint audits with respect to any vendor contracts that relate to both the Compuware Health and Welfare Plans and the Covisint Health and Welfare Plans. The scope of such audits shall remain consistent with the current practices and all documents and other information currently made available for review shall continue to be made available. Compuware and Covisint shall agree on the performance standards, audit methodology, auditing policy and quality measures, reporting requirements, and the manner in which costs incurred in connection with such audits will be shared.

Section 9.7 Beneficiary Designations. Subject to Section 9.9, all beneficiary designations made by the Covisint Employees for the Compuware Plans (other than the Compuware Retirement Plan, except to the extent Covisint may be required to establish or assume the sponsorship of a retirement plan(s) pursuant to Section 2.5) shall be transferred to and be in full force and effect under the corresponding Covisint Plans until such time, if ever, any such beneficiary designations are replaced or revoked by the Covisint Employees who made the beneficiary designations.

Section 9.8 Requests for IRS and DOL Opinions. Compuware and Covisint shall make such applications to regulatory agencies, including the IRS and DOL, as may be necessary or appropriate. Covisint and Compuware shall cooperate fully with one another on any issue relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which Compuware and/or Covisint elects to seek a determination letter or private letter ruling from the IRS or an advisory opinion from the DOL.

Section 9.9 Consent of Third Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is dependent on the consent of any third party (such as a vendor) and such consent is withheld, Compuware and Covisint shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the full extent practicable. If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of such third party to consent, Compuware and Covisint shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner.

Section 9.10 Cooperation. The Parties agree to, and to cause their Affiliated Companies to, cooperate and use reasonable efforts to promptly (a) comply with all requirements of this Agreement, ERISA, the Code and other laws which may be applicable to the matters addressed herein, and (b) subject to applicable law, provide each other with such information reasonably requested by the other Party to assist the other party in administering its plans and programs and complying with applicable law and regulations and the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Tax Cooperation. In connection with the interpretation and administration of this Agreement, Compuware and Covisint shall take into account the agreements and policies established pursuant to the Master Separation Agreement and the Tax Sharing Agreement.

Section 9.12 Plan Returns. Plan Returns shall be filed or caused to be filed by Compuware or Covisint as the case may be in accordance with the principles established in the Tax Sharing Agreement. For purposes of this Section 9.12, “Plan Returns” means any return,

report, certificate, form or similar statement or document required to be filed with a government agency with respect to an employee benefit plan governed by the ERISA, or a program governed by section 6039D of the Code.
