SERVICES
2.01 Services to be Provided. During the Service Period, SHMC shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Seritage the services (each, a “Service”) described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Service Schedules”) to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law. “Service Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the last day of the month in which the 18 calendar month anniversary of the Closing Date occurs (the “Expiration Date”). This Agreement shall automatically (and without notice) expire at 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the Expiration Date, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing after the date of this Agreement, it being understood that neither Party has the right to renew or extend the Service Period without the written consent of the other Party. Except as expressly stated in Exhibit A, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and Exhibit A, this Agreement shall control. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, the Services to be provided by or at the direction of SHMC under this Agreement are limited to those expressly stated herein, and those modified or added to the Service Schedules by a Service Change. This Agreement, and the Services, Fees and Expenses hereunder, may only be modified by a written amendment executed by both Parties, and both Parties acknowledge and agree that in the absence of such signed written amendment, neither Party shall rely (and any such reliance would be unreasonable) upon any proposed amendment or course of dealing by the Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require or permit SHMC to provide any business managerial services to Seritage or to direct the business, financial or strategic policies or decisions of Seritage.
2.02 Quantity and Nature of Service. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, SHMC shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, the Services in a manner and at a level of service that is substantially similar to the manner and level of service that such Services were provided with respect to the Transferred Properties and the owners thereof prior to the Closing Date. There shall be no substantial change in the scope or level of, or use by, Seritage of the Services during the Service Period (including changes requiring the hiring or training of additional employees by SHMC) without the mutual written consent of the Parties and adjustments, if any, to the applicable Fee to reflect the change in the cost to SHMC of providing such Services. However, SHMC may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing Services (including changes to its, its Affiliates’ and its Personnel’s systems) without Seritage’s consent if SHMC is making similar changes in the manner that it provides substantially similar services to itself and its Affiliates; provided, that SHMC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seritage with reasonable prior notice of any material change in the manner of providing Services and consult with Seritage in Good Faith
2
to minimize the effect thereof on the provision of such Services. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, SHMC shall not provide any legal services or legal advice to Seritage and Seritage shall not be entitled to rely on SHMC for legal advice or counsel, and any advisory communications given by SHMC to Seritage is not to be construed as legal advice. Seritage shall not resell any Services, provide the Services to any joint venture in which it participates or to any non-wholly owned Subsidiary, or otherwise use the Services in any way other than as SHMC or its Affiliates used the Services prior to the Closing Date with respect to the operation of the Transferred Properties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” means (i) with respect to Seritage, its Subsidiaries, and (ii) with respect to SHMC, SHC and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that except where the context indicates otherwise, for purposes of this Agreement, from and after the date of this Agreement, (1) no member of the SHC Group shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of any member of the Seritage Group, and (2) no member of the Seritage Group shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of any member of the SHC Group.
2.03 Changes in the Services. If Seritage desires to make changes in this Agreement to provide for different or additional Services to be provided by or at the direction of SHMC (each, a “Service Change”), the Parties shall comply with the following Service Change process:
(a) Seritage shall prepare a written proposal for the Service Change including a description of the services, deliverables and schedule, and the proposed Fee, in such detail as would reasonably be needed by an unaffiliated Vendor to develop a competent price proposal for similar services. Seritage may use the hourly rate or unit rate stated in Exhibit A in developing a price proposal for the Fee for such additional service.
(b) All Service Change proposals and responses must be delivered by a Party’s Contact Person to the other Party’s Contact Person. If SHMC can provide the different or additional services proposed in a Service Change with its then-existing resources and capabilities, SHMC and Seritage will proceed to negotiate in Good Faith and, if an agreement with respect thereto is reached, execute a new Service Schedule or an amendment to an existing Service Schedule to reflect the Service Change. If SHMC cannot provide any additional services proposed in a Service Change with its then-existing resources and capabilities, SHMC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such additional services through a Vendor and, if an agreement with respect thereto is reached, SHMC and Seritage shall execute a new Service Schedule or an amendment to an existing Service Schedule to reflect each Service Change, including changes to the applicable services, deliverables, schedule, fees and expenses. If SHMC will arrange for the additional services under a Service Change to be provided by a Vendor, Seritage shall, if requested by SHMC, execute a written agreement directly with the Vendor for the additional services. In the absence of a signed amendment, the Parties must fulfill their obligations under this Agreement without regard to such proposed Service Change.
(c) Any Service Change proposal by Seritage for a service to be added to the Services must be delivered to SHMC within the first 12 months after the date of this Agreement; no Service Changes for additional services may be requested by Seritage thereafter.
3
2.04 Transition Plan. During the Service Period, Seritage shall provide SHMC with quarterly reports concerning Seritage’s plans for transitioning the performance of all Services to Seritage, its Affiliates or Vendors prior to the Expiration Date. SHMC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seritage with such information and other assistance as Seritage reasonably requests to assist Seritage with such transition.
2.05 Standard of Care. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement (including Section 2.02), SHMC does not assume any responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the Services in Good Faith, in compliance with all applicable Laws and without willful misconduct or gross negligence. SHMC MAKES NO OTHER GUARANTEE, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND (WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) REGARDING ANY OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER GUARANTEES, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER STATUTORY, ORAL, WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. SUBJECT TO THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHMC SHALL ONLY BE OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE SERVICES IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH PAST PRACTICE (INCLUDING PRIORITIZATION AMONG PROJECTS FOR SHMC AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND SERITAGE AND ITS AFFILIATES).
2.06 Responsibility For Errors. Subject to Article VI, SHMC’s sole responsibility to Seritage for errors or omissions in Services caused by SHMC shall be to re-perform such Services or furnish correct information, payment or adjustment in the Services, and if such errors or omissions are solely or primarily caused by SHMC, SHMC shall promptly furnish such corrections at no additional cost or expense to Seritage; provided, that SHMC shall have no such responsibility to re-perform or furnish corrections to the extent it is actually prejudiced by any unreasonable delay in notice by Seritage to SHMC of such errors or omissions.
2.07 Good Faith Cooperation; Alternatives. SHMC and Seritage shall use Good Faith efforts to cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of the Services. If SHMC reasonably believes it is unable to provide any Service because of a failure to obtain Vendor consents or because of impracticability, SHMC shall notify Seritage promptly after SHMC becomes aware of such fact and the Parties shall cooperate to determine the best alternative approach. Seritage shall provide such reasonable advance notice and forecasts of Services as are requested by SHMC or its Vendor performing the Services from time to time.
2.08 Use of Third Parties. In providing, or otherwise causing to be provided, to Seritage the Services, SHMC may use (a) any of its Affiliates and its or its Affiliates’ Personnel or (b) the services of any contractors, subcontractors, vendors or other third party providers (including former Affiliates) (each, a “Vendor”) to provide the Services; provided, however, that SHMC shall remain liable at all times for the performance of Services by any such Affiliate, Personnel or Vendor under this Agreement, except as stated in Section 2.06.
2.09 Assets of Seritage. During the Service Period, (a) SHMC and its Affiliates and Vendors may use, at no charge and on an as-needed basis, all of the software and other assets, tangible and intangible (together, the “Assets”), of Seritage to the extent necessary to
4
perform, or otherwise make available, the Services (but for no other purpose), and (b) Seritage shall consult with SHMC prior to upgrading or replacing any of the Assets that are necessary for SHMC to provide the Services.
2.10 Ownership of Information and Other Assets. Neither Party shall acquire under this Agreement any right, title or interest in any Asset that is owned or licensed by the other. All Seritage Information or Information that if in existence as of the Closing Date would have constituted Seritage Information shall remain the property of a member of the Seritage Group, and, to the extent such Information remains in the possession of a member of the SHC Group, SHMC shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to Seritage such copies of such Information during the term of this Agreement, and in any event prior to the Expiration Date in order to facilitate the transitioning of the performance of all Services to Seritage, its Affiliates or Vendors prior to the Expiration Date. All other Information provided by or on behalf of a Party to the other Party or its Affiliates for the purpose of providing or receiving the Services shall remain the property of the Party providing such Information. To the extent the provision of any Service involves intellectual property, including software or patented or copyrighted material, or material constituting trade secrets, each Party agrees that it and its Affiliates shall not copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile or in any way alter any of such material, or otherwise use such material in a manner inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without the express written consent of the other Party. Except to the extent provided otherwise in the Separation Agreement, all specifications, tapes, software, programs, services, manuals, materials and documentation developed or provided by SHMC, its Affiliates or its Vendors and utilized in performing this Agreement shall be and remain the property of SHMC, such Affiliates or such Vendors, as applicable, and shall not, without SHMC’s prior written consent, be sold, transferred, disseminated or conveyed by Seritage or its Affiliates to any other Person (other than their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) or used, in each case other than in receiving the Services under, or in performing, this Agreement.
2.11 Contact Person. Each Party shall appoint one contact person (a “Contact Person”) to facilitate communications and performance under this Agreement. The initial Contact Person of each Party is set forth on Exhibit B. Each Party shall have the right at any time and from time to time to replace its Contact Person by written notice to the other Party, following which Exhibit B shall be amended to reflect such Party’s new Contact Person.
ARTICLE III.
CHARGES AND PAYMENTS FOR SERVICES
3.01 Compensation.
(a) As consideration for the provision of the Services, Seritage shall pay, or cause to be paid, to SHMC or its designee(s) the fees for the Services, in each case as specified on Exhibit A (the “Fees”), payable as provided on Exhibit A. Upon termination of an individual Service, Seritage shall pay all Fees attributable to the Service being terminated accrued as of the date of termination of such Service. If the Fees include charges for Services performed by a Vendor and the Vendor’s fees increase during the Service Period, SHMC shall be entitled to include such increased fees as an increase in the Fees; provided, that to the extent that SHMC uses the same Vendor to provide similar services to itself or its Affiliates, each of the Parties shall be responsible for their pro rata portion of the increased amount in accordance with the level of services such Party receives from such Vendor.
5
(b) In addition to the Fees, Seritage shall reimburse SHMC or its designee(s) for all actual, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties by SHMC or its Affiliates in connection with the performance of the Services that are not included in the Fees (“Expenses”), including, without limitation, the costs of any software, systems or other assets, or modifications thereof; provided, however, that SHMC shall not incur any Expenses that exceed $100,000.00 individually without first receiving the written consent of Seritage, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that to the extent Seritage does not consent to the Expenses set forth in the prior proviso, but the incurrence of such Expenses is reasonably necessary for SHMC to perform Service under this Agreement, then SMHC shall be relieved of its obligation to perform such Service to the extent that it is not reasonably able to perform such Service without incurring such Expenses. To the extent reasonably practicable, SHMC shall provide Seritage with notice of such Expenses prior to incurring them. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.02 Payments. If directed by SHMC, Seritage shall pay directly any or all Vendors providing Services to or for the benefit of Seritage. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, all amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reconciled weekly and the Party owing the net amount shall, make payment to the Party owed the net amount by electronic transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by such owed Party from time to time upon receipt of an invoice for such amount. Monthly installments shall be included in the first week’s reconciliation of each month. All amounts remaining unpaid for more than 15 days after their respective due date(s) set forth in an invoice statement shall accrue interest as set forth in Section 10.19(b) of the Separation Agreement until paid in full.
3.03 Taxes. The Parties hereby acknowledge that the Fees specified on Exhibit A do not include applicable sales, use, excise, value-added, business, service, goods and services, consumption, withholding and other similar taxes or duties, including taxes incurred on transactions between and among SHMC and its Affiliates and its and their Vendors and Personnel (“Transaction Taxes”). Seritage shall be responsible for the payment of all Transaction Taxes payable as a result of its receipt of the Services. Seritage shall reimburse SHMC for any deficiency relating to Transaction Taxes that are Seritage’s responsibility under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.03 to the contrary, each Party shall be responsible for its own income and franchise taxes, employment taxes and property taxes, except as otherwise provided in the Separation Agreement or any of the other Ancillary Agreements. The Parties shall cooperate in Good Faith to minimize Transaction Taxes to the extent legally permissible. Each Party shall provide to the other Party any resale exemption, multiple points of use certificates, treaty certification and other exemption information reasonably requested by such other Party.

ARTICLE IV.
TERMINATION
4.01 Termination of an Individual Service for Convenience by Seritage. Subject to the following sentence, Seritage may, upon 60 days’ prior written notice to SHMC, reduce or terminate for Seritage’s convenience any individual Service at the end of a Seritage fiscal month. Seritage may not reduce or terminate an individual Service if the reduction or termination would materially adversely affect SHMC’s ability to perform another Service. If Seritage’s reduction or termination of a Service results in charges to SHMC or its Affiliate during the Service Period (e.g., termination charges or loss of volume discounts, severance for any Personnel no longer needed to provide Services), Seritage shall reimburse SHMC for such expenses; provided, however, that, prior to the effective time of such reduction or termination, SHMC shall provide Seritage with notice of any such charges it reasonably anticipates will result from such reduction or termination and Seritage may, in its sole discretion, chose to continue the Service. In connection with any termination of services by Seritage in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.01, Seritage and SHMC will coordinate in good faith regarding the termination or continuation of pre-existing service contracts with third-party providers.
4.02 Termination of the Agreement; Extension or Reinstatement.
(a) Seritage may terminate this Agreement or any individual Service in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by SHMC if SHMC fails to cure the breach within 30 days following receipt of written notice of the breach from Seritage. SHMC may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach of any of the payment obligations set forth in this Agreement by Seritage if Seritage or its lenders set forth on Exhibit C (the “Lenders”) fail to cure the breach within 30 days following receipt of written notice of the breach from SHMC (in the case of the Lenders, to the address set forth on Exhibit C); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, non-payment of amounts that are subject to a Good Faith dispute with respect to which Seritage or the Lenders have timely delivered a notice of objection shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 4.02(a) for so long as such amounts remain subject to such Good Faith dispute.
(b) Following any foreclosure of any property of Seritage by the Lenders, the Lenders shall be entitled to extend or reinstate this Agreement upon the terms set forth herein; provided that the “Service Period” shall be deemed to commence on the date of such foreclosure and continue until 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the last day of the month in which the 18 calendar month anniversary of the date of such foreclosure occurs, and provided, further, that SHMC and the Lenders shall execute an appropriate amendment to this Agreement pursuant to which the Lenders or their designee shall become entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of Seritage hereunder in respect of such property.
4.03 Obligations on Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, (i) each Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, return or deliver to the other Party all Information of the other Party and its Affiliates (including copies of all Information that is or remains the property of the other Party or its Affiliates pursuant to Section 2.10); provided that the other Party may retain electronic copies of such Information residing in automatic backup systems that are not generally available to such Party’s Personnel or copies retained to the extent required by applicable Law, regulation or a bona fide document retention policy and (ii) Seritage shall pay all Fees and Expenses accrued as of the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
7
4.04 Termination of an Individual Service by SHMC. If a Vendor that provides a Service is unwilling or unable to provide the Service and (i) the Vendor does not provide a similar service to SHMC or its other Affiliates on terms that are comparable to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) SHMC is unable to retain a replacement Vendor to provide the Service on terms that are reasonably comparable to the terms of this Agreement, SHMC, upon providing 90 days’ prior written notice to Seritage, may terminate the Service, but such termination of the Service shall have no effect upon the provision of the other Services to Seritage.
ARTICLE V.
CONFIDENTIALITY
5.01 Confidential Information. All Information provided by or on behalf of a Party to the other Party or its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to Sections 7.5 and 7.6 of the Separation Agreement, which shall apply hereto as if set forth herein, mutatis mutandis.
ARTICLE VI.

SHMC shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seritage, its Affiliates and Personnel (each, a “Seritage Indemnitee”) from and against any and all costs, liabilities, losses, penalties, expenses and damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred or suffered by the Seritage Indemnitee relating to or arising out of (a) a breach of any provision of this Agreement by SHMC (other than in circumstances in which the SHMC has acted in Good Faith and used commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach), (b) any negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of SHMC, its Affiliates, Vendors and Personnel in the performance of this Agreement or (c) relate to the intentional infringement of any copyright or trade secret by an Asset owned by SHMC or its Affiliates and used by SHMC its Affiliates, Vendors and Personnel in the performance of the Services hereunder (together, “SHMC Claims”). Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations set forth in this Section 6.02, SHMC shall not be required defend, indemnify or hold harmless any Seritage Indemnitee to the extent that such SHMC Claims arise out of (i) a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Seritage, (ii) any negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of Seritage, its Affiliates, or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives in performance of this Agreement or (iii) with respect to infringement claims
8

Seritage Claims and SHMC Claims are each individually referred to as a “Claim.”
6.03 Procedure. Any Claim under this Agreement shall be subject to Sections 5.5 through 5.11 of the Separation Agreement, which shall apply hereto as if set forth herein, mutatis mutandis.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, SHMC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY SHMC’S VENDORS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SHMC SHALL USE REASONABLE BEST EFFORTS TO PASS THROUGH TO SERITAGE APPLICABLE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE VENDOR AGREEMENTS OR AT SERTIAGE’S REQUEST, USE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO ENFORCE OR CAUSE TO BE ENFORCED, SHMC’S AND ITS AFFILIATES’ RIGHTS UNDER THE VENDOR AGREEMENTS IN ORDER TO PROCURE ANY AVAILABLE REMEDIES ON BEHALF OF, AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF SERITAGE AND ITS AFFILIATES.

ARTICLE VII.
MISCELLANEOUS
7.01 Vendor Agreements.
The Parties anticipate that SHMC shall be relying upon its and its Affiliates’ existing agreements with third parties to provide certain of the Services described herein (each, a “Vendor Agreement”) If (a) SHMC’s or its Affiliates’ costs, fees or expenses increase under the terms of a Vendor Agreement or (b) the Vendor demands or is entitled to additional costs, fees or expenses now or in the future, in each case, as a result of Seritage and/or its Affiliates receiving benefits under a Vendor Agreement, then, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, Seritage shall be liable for its proportionate share of all increased or additional amounts under this Section 7.01, in each case as such amounts are determined by SHMC in Good Faith. SHMC shall notify Seritage promptly after it learns of any increased amounts due under the immediately preceding sentence and shall work with the Vendor in Good Faith to try to mitigate such increased or additional amounts. To the extent any such Vendor Agreement includes early termination fees or similar charges (the “Termination Fees”), Seritage shall be solely responsible for any such Termination Fees that SHMC or its Affiliates incur as a result of the Transaction and/or Seritage and/or its Affiliates ceasing to use the Services under this Agreement.
7.02 Computer Access. If either Party, its Affiliates or its or their respective Personnel are given access, whether on-site or through remote facilities, to any communications, computer, or electronic data storage systems (each, an “Electronic Resource”) of the other Party, its Affiliates or its or their respective Personnel in connection with this Agreement, then the Party on behalf of whom such access is given shall ensure that its Personnel’s use of such access shall be solely limited to performance or exercise of such Party’s duties and rights under this Agreement, and that such Personnel will not attempt to access any Electronic Resource other than those specifically required for the performance of such duties and/or exercise of such rights. The Party given access shall (a) limit such access to those of its and its Affiliates’ Personnel who need to have such access in connection with this Agreement, (b) advise the other Party in writing of the name of each of such Personnel who will be granted such access and (c) strictly follow all security rules and procedures for use of such Electronic Resources. All user identification numbers and passwords disclosed to a Party’s or its Affiliates’ Personnel and any information obtained by such Party’s or its Affiliates’ Personnel as a result of its access to, and use of, the other Party’s, its Affiliates’ or their respective Personnel’s Electronic Resources shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as, Confidential Information of the Party on behalf of whom such access is granted. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in the investigation of any apparent unauthorized access by the other Party, its Affiliates or their respective Personnel to any Electronic Resources or unauthorized release of Confidential Information. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any actual or suspected unauthorized access or disclosure of any Electronic Resource of the other Party, its Affiliates or their respective Personnel.
7.03 Survival. The obligations of each Party to pay all amounts accrued hereunder and the provisions of Sections 2.10, 7.02 and 7.05 and Article V and Article VI shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
7.04 Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges that any breach by a Party of Sections 2.10, 5.01 or 7.02 may cause the non-breaching Party and its Affiliates irreparable harm for which the non-breaching Party and its Affiliates have no adequate remedies at law. Accordingly, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, the foregoing provisions, each Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including specific
