provided in accordance with Section 2.01, if requested by Imagistics and as
needed by Imagistics to conduct its business, as conducted in the ordinary
course prior to the Distribution Date (or as needed by Imagistics to facilitate

Article 3
SERVICE COSTS; OTHER CHARGES
Section 3.01 Service Costs Generally. (a) Unless any Schedule hereto
indicates otherwise or the parties shall agree in writing to a different
arrangement, for each period in which Imagistics receives a Service, Imagistics
shall pay Pitney Xxxxx its actual out-of-pocket cost for such Service, including
a proportionate share of Pitney Xxxxx' overhead, if applicable, computed in
accordance with Pitney Xxxxx' internal chargeback practices ("Service Costs").
(b) If the volume of transactions for a specific Service provided to
Imagistics exceeds the level which historically has been utilized by the
Imagistics Group during the twelve months prior to the date hereof and, as a
result, requires human or equipment resources in excess of the level of
resources allocated to such Service by Pitney Xxxxx, the additional cost
associated with the increased volume shall be included in the Service Costs.

taxes incurred with respect to provision of the Services. These taxes shall be
incremental to other payments or charges identified in this Agreement.
Section 3.03 Certain Benefits Matters. (a) Prior to the Distribution Date,

by Pitney Xxxxx ("Pitney Xxxxx Plans").
(b) The costs payable by Imagistics for Services relating to employee plans

extent specified in Schedule 1D, billed as set forth on Schedule ID. It is the
express intent of the parties that Service Costs relating to the administration
of Imagistics employee plans and the performance of related Services shall not
exceed reasonable compensation for such Services as defined in 29 CFR
ss.2550.408c-2.
(c) Pitney Xxxxx and Imagistics agree to cooperate fully with each other in
the administration and coordination of regulatory and administrative
requirements associated with Pitney Xxxxx Plans and Benefits Services.
6
Section 3.04 Invoicing and Settlement of Costs. (a) Pitney Xxxxx shall
invoice or notify in writing the Chief Financial Officer of Imagistics on a
monthly basis (not later than the tenth day of each month), in a manner
substantially consistent with the billing practices used in connection with
services provided to the Imagistics Group prior to the Distribution Date (except
as otherwise agreed), of the Service Costs. In connection with the invoicing
described in this Section 3.04(a), Pitney Xxxxx shall provide to Imagistics the
same billing data and level of detail as it customarily provided to the
Imagistics Group prior to the Distribution Date and such other data as may be
reasonably requested by Imagistics.
(b) Imagistics agrees to pay on or before 30 days after the date on which
Pitney Xxxxx invoices or notifies Imagistics of the Service Costs (or the next
Business Day, if such day is not a Business Day) (each, a "Payment Date") by
wire transfer of immediately available funds payable to the order of Pitney
Xxxxx all amounts invoiced by Pitney Xxxxx pursuant to Section 3.04(a) during
the preceding calendar month. If Imagistics fails to pay any monthly payment
within 30 days of the relevant Payment Date, Imagistics shall be obligated to
pay, in addition to the amount due on such Payment Date, interest on such amount
at the prime, or best, rate (as quoted from time to time in the Wall Street
Journal) compounded monthly from the relevant Payment Date through the date of
payment.
(c) Imagistics agrees to pay on or before 30 days after the date on which
it is invoiced or otherwise notified (or on or before any other due date
previously established) any amount owed by Imagistics to any third party vendor
in relation to any Service provided hereunder. In the event that Imagistics
fails to pay any such amount due in a timely manner and Pitney Xxxxx becomes
liable for such amount, Pitney Xxxxx may pay any such amount to any vendor and
Imagistics shall be obligated to pay Pitney Xxxxx the full amount due plus any
interest due on such amount and any delinquency or other fees accrued.
Article 4
THE SERVICES
Section 4.01 General Standard of Service. (a) Except as otherwise agreed
with Imagistics or described in this Agreement or the Schedules hereto, and
provided that Pitney Xxxxx is not restricted by contract with third parties or
by applicable law, Pitney Xxxxx agrees that the nature, quality, service level
and standard of care applicable to the delivery of the Services hereunder shall
be substantially the same as that of the Services which Pitney Xxxxx provides
from time to time throughout its businesses. If Pitney Xxxxx and Imagistics do
not have comparable operations with respect to a certain Service, then the
service level shall be consistent with the standards provided to Imagistics for
the twelve months prior to the Distribution Date. Pitney Xxxxx shall use its
reasonable efforts to ensure
7
that the nature and quality of Services provided to Imagistics employees either
by Pitney Xxxxx directly or through administrators under contract shall be
undifferentiated as compared with the same services provided to or on behalf of
Pitney Xxxxx employees under Pitney Xxxxx Plans. Subject to Pitney Xxxxx'
express obligations under this Agreement, the management of and control over the
provision of the Services shall reside solely with Pitney Xxxxx. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, all labor matters relating to
employees of Pitney Xxxxx and its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation,
employees involved in the provision of Services to Imagistics) shall be within
the exclusive control of Pitney Xxxxx, and Imagistics shall not take any action
affecting such matters.
(b) If Imagistics becomes aware of a material deficiency in the performance
of a Service provided or procured by Pitney Xxxxx or one of its subsidiaries (a
"Service Level Breach"), Imagistics may deliver a written notice of the Service
Level Breach to the Service Provider. Upon receipt of such notice, Pitney Xxxxx
shall use it reasonable best efforts to remedy the Service Level Breach as soon
as reasonably possible.
Section 4.02 Personnel. Subject to Schedule 1D hereof, Pitney Xxxxx shall,
at its own expense, employ and retain staff, and contract with third parties and
other vendors with a level of experience, skill, diligence and expertise
consistent with Pitney Xxxxx' normal business practices, needed to perform the
Services. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to contracts entered
into by Pitney Xxxxx and third parties prior to the Distribution Date.
Section 4.03 Systems Support. In each instance where Pitney Xxxxx provides
application, technical or infrastructure support to Imagistics under this
Agreement ("Systems Support"), such Systems Support shall, except as limited by
this Agreement and the Schedules hereto, be provided in a scope and manner
substantially consistent with past practices.
Section 4.04 Delegation. Subject to Section 4.01(a), Imagistics hereby
delegates to Pitney Xxxxx final, binding, and exclusive authority,
responsibility, and discretion to interpret and construe the provisions of
employee welfare benefit plans in which Imagistics has elected to participate
and which are administered by Pitney Xxxxx under this Agreement (collectively,
"Employee Benefit Plans"). Pitney Xxxxx may further delegate such authority to
plan administrators to:
(i) provide administrative and other services;
(ii) reach factually supported conclusions consistent with the terms
of the Employee Benefit Plans;
(iii) make a full and fair review of each claim denial and decision
related to the provision of benefits provided or arranged for under
8
the Employee Benefit Plans, pursuant to the requirements of ERISA, if
within 60 days after receipt of the notice of denial, a claimant requests
in writing a review for reconsideration of such decisions. The plan
administrator shall notify the claimant in writing of its decision on
review. Such notice shall satisfy all ERISA requirements relating thereto;
and
(iv) notify the claimant in writing of its decision on review.
Section 4.05. Limitation of Liability. (a) Imagistics agrees that none of
the members of the Pitney Xxxxx Group and their respective directors, officers,
agents, and employees (each, a "Pitney Xxxxx Indemnified Person") shall have any
liability, whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise, to any
Imagistics Entity or any other Person for or in connection with the Services
rendered or to be rendered by any Pitney Xxxxx Indemnified Person pursuant to
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or any Pitney Xxxxx
Indemnified Person's actions or inactions in connection with any such Services
or transactions, except for damages which have resulted from such Pitney Xxxxx
Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with
any such Services, actions or inactions.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.05(a), none of the Pitney
Xxxxx Group shall be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or
consequential damages of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees) in any way due to, resulting from or arising in connection with
any of the Services or the performance of or failure to perform Pitney Xxxxx'
obligations under this Agreement. This disclaimer applies without limitation to
claims arising from the provision of the Services or any failure or delay in
connection therewith; to claims for lost profits; regardless of the form of
action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or
otherwise; and regardless of whether such damages are foreseeable or whether
Pitney Xxxxx has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
(c) None of the Pitney Xxxxx Group shall have any liability to any
Imagistics Entity or any other Person for failure to perform Pitney Xxxxx'
obligations under this Agreement or otherwise, where such failure to perform is
not caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Pitney Xxxxx
Entity providing such Services and such failure to perform similarly affects the
Pitney Xxxxx Group receiving such Services and does not have a
disproportionately adverse effect on the Imagistics Group, taken as a whole.
(d) In addition to the foregoing, Imagistics agrees that it shall, in all
circumstances, use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and otherwise
minimize its damages and those of the other Imagistics Entities, whether direct
or indirect, due to, resulting from or arising in connection with any failure by
Pitney Xxxxx to comply fully with its obligations under this Agreement.
9
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.05, in the
event of a substantial and continuing failure on the part of Pitney Xxxxx to
provide or procure any material Services, where such failure is reasonably
expected to have a material adverse effect on Imagistics and its Subsidiaries,
considered as a whole, Imagistics shall be entitled to seek specific performance
to cause Pitney Xxxxx to provide or procure such Services.
Section 4.06. Indemnification of Pitney Xxxxx by Imagistics. Imagistics
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Pitney Xxxxx Indemnified Person from
and against any damages, and to reimburse each Pitney Xxxxx Indemnified Person
for all reasonable expenses as they are incurred in investigating, preparing,
pursuing, or defending any claim, action, proceeding, or investigation, whether
or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation and whether or not
any Pitney Xxxxx Indemnified Person is a party (collectively, "Actions"),
arising out of or in connection with Services rendered or to be rendered by any
Pitney Xxxxx Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or any Pitney Xxxxx Indemnified Person's actions or
inactions in connection with any such Services or transactions; provided that
Imagistics shall not be responsible for any damages of any Pitney Xxxxx
Indemnified Person that have resulted from such Pitney Xxxxx Indemnified
Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any of the
advice, actions, inactions, or Services referred to above (it being understood
and agreed that the provision by any Pitney Xxxxx Entity of any of the Services
contemplated by Schedule 2 hereof without obtaining the consent of any party to
any contract or agreement to which any Pitney Xxxxx Entity is a party as of the
date hereof shall not constitute gross negligence or wilful misconduct by any
Pitney Xxxxx Entity; provided that the relevant Pitney Xxxxx Entity has used
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the relevant consent). Sections 4.04
and 4.05 of the Distribution Agreement shall apply in the event that any
indemnification is sought pursuant to this Section 4.06.
Section 4.07. Indemnification of Imagistics by Pitney Xxxxx. Pitney Xxxxx
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Imagistics Group and
their respective directors, officers, agents, and employees (each, a "Imagistics
Indemnified Person") from and against any damages, and shall reimburse each
Imagistics Indemnified Person for all reasonable expenses as they are incurred
in investigating, preparing, or defending any Action, arising out of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of any Pitney Xxxxx Indemnified Person in
connection with the Services rendered or to be rendered pursuant to this
Agreement. Sections 4.04 and 4.05 of the Distribution Agreement shall apply in
the event that any indemnification is sought pursuant to this Section 4.07.
Section 4.08. Further Indemnification. To the extent that any other Person
has agreed to indemnify any Pitney Xxxxx Indemnified Person or to hold a Pitney
Xxxxx Indemnified Person harmless and such Person provides services to Pitney
Xxxxx or any affiliate of Pitney Xxxxx relating directly or indirectly to any
10
employee plan or benefit arrangement for which Benefit Services are provided
under this Agreement, Pitney Xxxxx shall exercise reasonable efforts (a) to make
such agreement applicable to any Imagistics Indemnified Person so that each
Imagistics Indemnified Person is held harmless or indemnified to the same extent
as any Pitney Xxxxx Indemnified Person or (b) otherwise make available to each
Imagistics Indemnified Person the benefits of such agreement.
Section 4.09. Notice of Certain Matters. If Imagistics at any time believes
that Pitney Xxxxx is not in full compliance with its obligations under Section
4.01(a) of this Agreement, Imagistics shall so notify Pitney Xxxxx in writing
promptly (but not later than 30 days) after becoming aware of such possible
non-compliance by Pitney Xxxxx. Failure to notify Pitney Xxxxx within 30 days
shall not relieve Pitney Xxxxx of liability except to the extent Pitney Xxxxx is
actually prejudiced due to such failure to notify. Such notice (a
"Non-Compliance Notice") shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for
Imagistics' belief as well as Imagistics' view as to the steps to be taken by
Pitney Xxxxx to address the possible non-compliance. For the 30 days after
receipt of such a notice, appropriate representatives of Pitney Xxxxx and
Imagistics shall work in good faith to develop a plan to resolve the matters
referred to in the Non-Compliance Notice. In the event such matters are not
resolved through such discussions, Imagistics may elect to terminate Pitney
Xxxxx' obligation to provide or procure, and its obligation to purchase, the
Service or Services referred to in its Non-Compliance Notice in accordance with.
In the event such matters are resolved through such discussions and Imagistics
does not elect to terminate such Service or Services within 60 days of the end
of the 30-day period referred to in the third sentence of this Section 4.09,
Imagistics shall not be entitled to deliver another Non-Compliance Notice or
pursue other remedies with respect to same or any substantially similar matter
so long as Pitney Xxxxx complies in all material respects with the terms of such
resolution. In no event shall any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 4.09 limit or affect Imagistics' right to seek remedies in accordance
with Section 4.08 in respect of any breach by Pitney Xxxxx of any of its
obligations under this Agreement prior to such termination.
Article 5
TERM AND TERMINATION
Section 5.01. Term. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 5, in
Section 9.05 or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Pitney Xxxxx
shall provide (through one or more of its Affiliates and/or outside service
providers to the extent utilized by Imagistics as of the date hereof or engaged
hereafter with the prior written consent of Imagistics) to the Imagistics Group,
the Non-IT Services and any additional services as identified and agreed upon by
Pitney Xxxxx and Imagistics pursuant to Section 2.03 for an initial term of
twelve months from the
11
Distribution Date (the "Transition Period"). Pitney Xxxxx shall provide the IT
Services (in the manner provided in the preceding sentence) for an initial term
from the Distribution Date until December 31, 2002. Pitney Xxxxx' obligation to
provide or procure, and Imagistics' obligation to purchase, a Service shall
cease as of the applicable date set forth in the applicable Schedules or such
earlier date determined in accordance with. The Transition Period shall be
deemed to be extended, as and for the period needed but, in any event, not to
exceed six months, on account of any one of the following: (i) a requirement by
a Government Authority; (ii) at the discretion of the non-breaching party, any
failure by Imagistics or Pitney Xxxxx, as the case may be, to perform any action
required on its part under this agreement including the schedules hereto, but
only to the extent of such failure; or (iii) the inability of the parties to
achieve a suitable replacement for provision of the Services as set forth in any
schedule hereto after applying reasonable efforts, provided that, to the extent
the Transition Period is extended pursuant to clause (i) or (iii), in addition

and reimbursables including travel expenses, supplies, copying plans and other
materials used in the course of the business (at cost). Out-sourced services
