(a) If TimkenSteel reasonably determines that additional transition services (not listed on Annex B) of the type previously provided by the Bearings Group to the Steel Business are necessary to conduct the Steel Business, and TimkenSteel or its Subsidiaries are not able to provide such services to the Steel Business, then TimkenSteel may provide written notice thereof to Timken. Upon receipt of such notice by Timken, if Timken is willing, in its sole discretion, to provide such additional service during the Term, the Parties will negotiate in good faith an amendment to Annex B setting forth the additional service (each such service an “Additional Timken Service”), the terms and conditions for the provision of such Additional Timken Service and the Fees payable by TimkenSteel for such Additional Timken Service, such Fees to be determined on an arm’s-length basis with the intent that they reflect costs.

Upon receipt of such notice by TimkenSteel, if TimkenSteel is willing, in its sole discretion, to provide such additional service during the Term, the Parties will negotiate in good faith an amendment to Annex C setting forth the additional service (each such service an “Additional TimkenSteel Service”), the terms and conditions for the provision of such Additional TimkenSteel Service and the Fees payable by Timken for such Additional TimkenSteel Service, such Fees to be determined on an arm’s-length basis with the intent that they reflect costs.

Section 2.3 Service Requests. Any requests by a Party to the other Party regarding the Services or any modification or alteration to the provision of the Services must be made by an Authorized Representative (it being understood that the receiving Party will not be obligated to agree to any modification or alteration requested thereby).

Section 2.5 Books and Records; Retention and Transfer of Materials and Service Recipient Data.

(a) For a period of 12 months following termination of this Agreement, the Service Provider will retain all books, records, files, databases or computer software or hardware (including current and archived copies of computer files) (the “Materials”) with respect to matters relating to the Services provided to the Service Recipient hereunder that are in a form and contain a level of detail substantially consistent with the records retention policies of the Service Provider prior to the Distribution Date (unless any such Materials have been delivered to the Service Recipient or the Service Recipient otherwise has a copy of such Materials). The Service Provider will make such Materials available to the Service Recipient for its review, upon reasonable notice, at the Service Recipient’s expense, during regular business hours, including in order to verify disputed charges under Section 4.6. If at any time during the 12-month period following the termination of this Agreement, the Service Recipient reasonably requests in writing that certain Materials be delivered to the Service Recipient, the Service Provider promptly will arrange for the delivery of the requested Materials in a form reasonably requested by the Service Recipient to a location specified by, and at the expense of, the Service Recipient. As promptly as practicable following the expiration of the Service Term (or earlier termination pursuant to Section 6.3) of a Service, the Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Service Recipient, and assist in the transition of Materials belonging to the Service Recipient and relating to such Service as clearly identified by the Service Recipient.

ARTICLE III

SERVICE QUALITY; INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

Section 3.1 Service Quality.

(a) The Service Provider will perform the Services in a manner and quality that is substantially consistent with the Party’s past practice (including as to quantity) in performing the Services for the Business, and in any event in compliance with any terms or service levels set forth on the applicable Annex. The Service Recipient will use the Services in substantially the same manner and on substantially the same scale as they were used by such Party and its Affiliates in the past practice of the Business, prior to the Distribution Date.

(b) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that certain of the Services to be provided under this Agreement have been, and will continue to be provided (in accordance with this Agreement and the Annexes hereto) to the Bearings Business or the Steel Business, as applicable, by Third Parties designated by the Party responsible for providing such Services hereunder. To the extent so provided, the Party responsible for providing such Services will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Third Parties to provide such Services under this Agreement and/or (ii) enable the Party seeking the benefit of such Services and its Subsidiaries to avail itself of such Services; provided, however, that if any such Third Party is unable or unwilling to provide any such Services, the Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to determine the manner, if any, in which such Services can best be provided (it being acknowledged and agreed that any costs or expenses to be incurred in connection with obtaining a Third Party to provide any such Services will be paid by the Party to which such Services are provided; provided that the Party responsible for providing such Services will use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate the costs or expenses expected to be incurred in advance of incurring such costs or expenses).

-6-

Section 3.2 Independent Contractor; Assets.

(a) The Parties are independent contractors. All employees and representatives of a Party and any of its Subsidiaries involved in providing Services will be under the exclusive direction, control and supervision of the Party or its Subsidiaries (or their subcontractors) providing such Services, and not of the Service Recipient. The Party or its Subsidiaries (or their subcontractors) providing the Services will be solely responsible for compensation of its employees, and for all withholding, employment or payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, and any other insurance and fringe benefits with respect to such employees. The Party or its Subsidiaries (or their subcontractors) providing the Services will have the exclusive right to hire and fire any of its employees in accordance with applicable Law. The Service Recipient will have no right to direct and control any of the employees or representatives of the Party or its Subsidiaries (or their subcontractors) providing such Services.

(b) All procedures, methods, systems, strategies, tools, equipment, facilities and other resources used by a Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any Third Party service provider in connection with the provision of the Services hereunder will remain the property of such Party, its Subsidiaries or such service providers and, except as otherwise provided herein, will at all times be under the sole direction and control of such Party, its Subsidiaries or such Third Party service provider. No license under any patents, know-how, trade secrets, copyrights or other rights is granted by this Agreement or any disclosure in connection with this Agreement by either Party.

Section 3.3 Uses of Services. The Service Provider will be required to provide the Services only to the Service Recipient and the Service Recipient’s Subsidiaries in connection with the Service Recipient’s operation of the Business. The Service Recipient may not resell any Services to any Person whatsoever or permit the use of such Services by any Person other than in connection with the operation of the Business in the ordinary course of business.

Section 3.4 Transition of Responsibilities. Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate its and its Subsidiaries’ dependence on each Service as soon as is reasonably practicable. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party to facilitate the smooth transition of the Services being provided to the Service Recipient by the Service Provider.

Section 3.5 Disclaimer of Warranties: Force Majeure.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement: (i) each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party makes no warranties of any kind with respect to the Services to be provided hereunder; and (ii) each Party hereby expressly disclaims all warranties with respect to the Services to be provided hereunder, as further set forth immediately below.

-7-

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE PROVIDED AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONFORMITY TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION, TITLE OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY WHATSOEVER.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Party will be liable for any interruption, delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (but specifically excluding any inability or failure to pay for Services rendered hereunder) when such interruption, delay or failure results from causes beyond such Party’s reasonable control, including any Law or act of any Governmental Authority, riot, terrorism, insurrection or other hostilities, embargo, fuel or energy shortage, equipment breakdowns, power failure, pandemic, epidemic, fire, flood, earthquake or act of God, strikes, lockouts, labor shortages, failure of a Third Party to satisfy its contractual obligations, or any other similar cause (“Force Majeure Events”); provided, however, that the affected Party promptly notifies the other Party, in writing, upon learning of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event. Subject to compliance with the foregoing, a Party’s obligations hereunder will be postponed for such time as its performance is suspended or delayed on account of the Force Majeure Event and, upon the cessation of the Force Majeure Event, such Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume promptly its performance hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

FEES; PAYMENT

Section 4.1 Fees. The Service Recipient will pay the Service Provider the Fees for the Services provided by such Service Provider under this Agreement. The Fees for the Timken Services are set forth on Annex B and the Fees for the TimkenSteel Services are set forth on Annex C, in each case, subject to adjustment for each Term Extension as provided in Section 6.2.

Section 4.2 Taxes. To the extent required or permitted by applicable Law, there will be added to any Fees due under this Agreement, and each Party agrees to pay to the other, amounts equal to any taxes, however designated or levied, based upon such Fees, or upon this Agreement or the Services provided under this Agreement, or their use, including state and local privilege or excise taxes based on gross revenue and any taxes or amounts in lieu thereof paid or payable by the Service Provider hereunder. In the event taxes are not added to an invoice from the Service Provider hereunder, the Service Recipient is responsible to remit to the appropriate tax jurisdiction any additional amounts due including tax, interest and penalty. The Parties will cooperate with each other to minimize any of these taxes to the extent reasonable. If additional amounts are determined to be due on the Services provided hereunder as a result of an audit by a

-8-

tax jurisdiction, the Service Recipient hereunder agrees to reimburse the Service Provider for the additional amounts due including tax, interest and penalty. The Party obligated to make such reimbursement will have the right to contest the assessment with the tax jurisdiction at its own expense. The Service Provider hereunder will be responsible for penalty or interest associated with its failure to remit invoiced taxes. The Parties further agree that, notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party will be required to pay any franchise taxes, taxes based on the income of the other Party or personal property taxes on property owned or leased by a Party and used by such Party to provide Services. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of this Section 4.2 will remain in effect until the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitation.

Section 4.3 Invoices and Payment. Unless otherwise specified in Annex B or Annex C, within 15 days following the end of each month during the Term (or within 15 days after receipt of a Third Party supplier’s invoice in the case of Services that are provided by a Third Party supplier), the Service Provider will submit to the Service Recipient for payment a written statement of amounts due under this Agreement for such month. The statement will set forth the Fees, in the aggregate and itemized, based on the descriptions set forth on Annex B or Annex C, as the case may be. Each statement will specify the nature of any amounts due for any Fees as set forth on Annex B or Annex C and will contain reasonably satisfactory documentation in support of such amounts as specified therein and such other supporting detail as the Service Recipient may reasonably require to validate such amounts due.

Section 4.4 Timing of Payment; No Offsets. Unless otherwise specified in Annex B or Annex C, each Party will pay all amounts due pursuant to this Agreement no later than 45 days following the end of each month during the Term (or, in the case of Services that are provided by a Third Party supplier, no later than 45 days following the end of the billing period for such Services) (the “Payment Due Date”). Neither Party will offset any amounts owing to it by the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries against amounts payable by such Party hereunder or any other agreement or arrangement. All timely payments under this Agreement will be made without early payment discount.

Section 4.5 Non-Payment. If either Party fails to pay the full amount of any invoice by the Payment Due Date, such failure will be considered a material default under this Agreement. The remedies provided to each Party by this Section 4.5 and by Section 6.4 will be cumulative with respect to any other applicable provisions of this Agreement. Payments made after the date they are due will bear interest at an annual rate equal to that announced publicly by The Wall Street Journal as its prime rate plus 2.0% (compounded monthly).

Section 4.6 Payment Disputes. The Service Recipient may object to any amounts for any Service invoiced to it at any time before, at the time of, or after payment is made, provided such objection is made in writing to the Service Provider within 60 days following the end of the Term. The Service Recipient will timely pay the disputed items in full while resolution of the dispute is pending; provided, however, that the Service Provider will pay interest at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 2.0%

-9-

(compounded monthly) on any amounts it is required to return to the Service Recipient upon resolution of the dispute. Payment of any amount will not constitute approval thereof. Any dispute under this Section 4.6 will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.8.

ARTICLE V

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 5.1 Confidentiality. Each Party agrees that the specific terms and conditions of this Agreement and any information, Service Recipient Data and Materials conveyed or otherwise received by or on behalf of a Party in conjunction herewith are confidential and are subject to the terms of the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 6.7 of the Separation Agreement.

Section 5.2 Security.

(a) If either Party (including its Affiliates and their employees, authorized agents and subcontractors) is given access to the other Party’s computer systems or software (collectively, “Systems”), premises, equipment, facilities or data in connection with the Transition Services, the Party given access (the “Availed Party”) will comply with (and will cause its Affiliates, and their employees, authorized agents and subcontractors to comply with) all of the other Party’s policies and procedures in relation to the use and access of the other Party’s Systems, premises, equipment, facilities or data (collectively, “Safety and Security Policies”), and will not tamper with, compromise or circumvent any safety, security or audit measures employed by such other Party. The Availed Party will access and use only those Systems, premises, equipment, facilities and data of the other Party for which it has been granted the right to access and use.

(b) Each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that only those of its personnel who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems, premises, equipment, facilities and data of the other Party gain such access, and use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of such Systems, premises, equipment, facilities or data (including, in each case, any information contained therein), including notifying its personnel of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and of the Safety and Security Policies.

(c) If, at any time, the Availed Party determines that any of its personnel has sought to circumvent, or has circumvented, the Safety and Security Policies, that any unauthorized Availed Party personnel has accessed the Systems, premises, equipment, facilities or data, or that any of its personnel has engaged in activities that may lead to the unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of, or damage to, premises, facilities, equipment, data, information or software of the other Party, the Availed Party will promptly terminate any such person’s access to the Systems, premises, equipment, facilities or data and promptly notify the other Party. In addition, such other Party will have the right to deny personnel of the Availed Party access to its Systems, premises, equipment, facilities or data upon notice to the Availed Party in the event that the other Party reasonably believes that such personnel have engaged in any of the activities set

-10-

forth above in this Section 5.2(c) or otherwise pose a security concern. The Availed Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Party in investigating any apparent unauthorized access to such other Party’s Systems, premises, equipment, facilities or data.

(d) If any Systems, premises, equipment or facilities of a Party are damaged (ordinary wear and tear excepted) due to the conduct of the Availed Party or any of its Affiliates, or their employees, authorized agents or subcontractors, the Availed Party will be liable to the other Party for all costs associated with such damage, to the extent such costs exceed any available insurance proceeds.

ARTICLE VI

TERMINATION

Section 6.1 Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will commence on the Distribution Date and end on the earliest to occur of (a) the two-year anniversary of the Distribution Date, subject to Section 6.2, (b) the date on which the provision of all Services has been terminated by the Parties pursuant to Section 6.3 and (c) the date this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.4.

Section 6.2 Option to Extend Term. Upon written request from the Service Recipient delivered to the Service Provider no later than 30 days (or such other time specified in Annex B or Annex C with respect to such Service), prior to the end of the Service Term for such Service, the Parties will extend the Service Term of such Service for up to 90 days (or for such other period specified in Annex B or Annex C with respect to such Service), on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement (such extension, a “Term Extension”). In the event a Term Extension for a Service would exceed the Term of this Agreement, the Term of this Agreement will be extended for the duration of the Term Extension. The Parties agree that, during the Term Extension for a Service, unless otherwise specified in Annex B or Annex C with respect to such Service, the Fees for such Service will be increased by an additional 25% of the Fee for such Service set forth in Annex B or Annex C.

Section 6.3 Partial Termination.

(a) The Service Recipient will provide no less than 30 days written notice (unless a shorter time is mutually agreed upon by the Parties or unless otherwise specified in Annex B or Annex C with respect to a Service) to the Service Provider of any Services that, prior to the expiration of the Service Term or Term Extension, are no longer needed from the Service Provider, in which case this Agreement will terminate as to such Services (a “Partial Termination”). The Parties will mutually agree as to the effective date of any Partial Termination.

(b) In the event of any termination prior to the scheduled expiration of the Service Term or of any Partial Termination hereunder, with respect to any terminated Services in which the Fee for such terminated Services is charged as a flat monthly rate, if termination occurs other than the end of the month, there will be no proration of

-11-

the monthly rate. To the extent any amounts due or advances made hereunder related to costs or expenses that have been or will be incurred and that cannot be recovered by the Service Provider, such amounts due or advances made will not be prorated or reduced and the Service Provider will not be required to refund to the Service Recipient any prorated amount for such costs or expenses; and the Service Recipient will reimburse the Service Provider for (i) Service Recipient’s proportional share of any Third Party costs or charges that are required to be paid in connection with the provision of any Services and that cannot be terminated and (ii) any Third Party cancellation or similar charges incurred as a result of the Service Recipient’s early termination.

Section 6.4 Termination of Entire Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.6, a Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement or effect a Partial Termination effective upon delivery of written notice to the other Party if the other Party:

(a) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or is petitioned into bankruptcy, or takes advantage (with respect to its own property and business) of any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency act, or if a receiver or receiver/manager is appointed for all or any substantial part of its property and business and such receiver or receiver/manager remains undischarged for a period of 30 days; or

(b) materially defaults in the performance of any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement (or, in the case of a Partial Termination, with respect to the Services being terminated) and such default is not remedied to the non-defaulting Party’s reasonable satisfaction within 45 days after receipt of written notice by the defaulting Party informing such Party of such default, or if such default is not capable of being cured within 45 days, if the defaulting Party has not promptly begun to cure the default within such 45-day period and thereafter proceeded with all diligence to cure the same.

Section 6.5 Procedures on Termination. Following any termination of this Agreement or Partial Termination, each Party will cooperate with the other Party as reasonably necessary to avoid disruption of the ordinary course of the other Party’s and its Subsidiaries’ businesses.
