SERVICES, DURATION AND SERVICES MANAGERS

Section 2.01. Services.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Navy shall provide (or cause to be provided) to the Red Lion Entities (i) the services (including the employee benefits transition described in Section 2.05 and listed on Schedule C to this Agreement) listed on Schedule A to this Agreement and (ii) access to facilities listed on Schedule B to this Agreement ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Services”). All Services shall be solely for the use and benefit of Red Lion and its Subsidiaries in conducting the Red Lion Business.

(b) At all times during the performance of the Services, all Persons performing such Services (including agents, temporary employees, independent third parties, and consultants), who are collectively referred to herein as the “Navy Employees”, shall be construed as being independent from the Red Lion Group and no Navy Employee shall be considered or deemed to be an employee of any member of the Red Lion Group nor entitled to any employee benefits from any member of the Red Lion Group as a result of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Navy acknowledges and agrees that throughout the period that a Navy Employee is providing Services hereunder, Navy is solely responsible for the payment of wages, providing of benefits and satisfaction of all employment-related obligations (including without limitation all obligations with respect to employee leave, immigration, recordkeeping, employment-related taxes and compliance with all labor and employment laws). Red Lion acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth herein as a Service (including such agreed Additional Services to be provided pursuant to Section 2.01(c) below) or otherwise expressly set forth in the Separation Agreement, or other binding definitive agreement, Navy shall not be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any service or goods to any member of the Red Lion Group.

(c) If, within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Separation Date, the Parties determine that a service provided by Navy to any member of the Red Lion Group prior to the date hereof was omitted from the Schedules to this Agreement (each, an “Additional Service”), then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree to the terms and conditions upon which such services would be added to this Agreement, it being agreed that the charges for such services should be determined on a basis consistent with the methodology for determining the initial prices provided for in Section 5.01.

Section 2.02. Duration of Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Provider shall provide (or cause to be provided) to the Recipients each Service until the earlier to occur of, with respect to each such Service, (i) the expiration of the period of the maximum duration for such Service as set forth on Schedule A or Schedule B (each a “Schedule”, and collectively, the “Schedules”) or (ii) the date on which such Service is terminated under Section 9.01(b); provided, however, that each Recipient shall use its commercially reasonable efforts in

good faith to transition itself to a stand-alone entity with respect to each Service during the period for such Service as set forth in the relevant Schedules; and provided, further, that in the event that the expiration of the period of the maximum duration is not set forth in Schedule A or Schedule B and such Services are not earlier terminated under Section 9.01(b), the Parties’ obligations with respect to the provision of any such Services and payment for any such Services shall terminate on December 31, 2015.

Section 2.03. Transition Services Managers. (a) Navy hereby appoints and designates the individual holding the Navy position set forth on Exhibit I to act as its initial services manager (the “Navy Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for coordinating and managing the delivery of the Services and have authority to act on Navy’s behalf with respect to matters relating to this Agreement. The Navy Services Manager will work with the personnel of the Navy Group to periodically address issues and matters raised by Red Lion relating to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 10.05, all communications from Red Lion to Navy pursuant to this Agreement regarding routine matters involving the Services set forth on the Schedules shall be made through the Navy Services Manager, or such other individual as specified by the Navy Services Manager in writing and delivered to Red Lion by email or facsimile transmission with receipt confirmed. In the event the Navy Services Manager is unavailable or intends to be unavailable, the Navy Services Manager shall promptly specify another individual to serve as the Navy Services Manager in the interim. Navy shall notify Red Lion of the appointment of a different Navy Services Manager, if necessary, in accordance with Section 10.05.

(b) Red Lion hereby appoints and designates the individual holding the Red Lion position set forth on Exhibit I to act as its initial services manager (the “Red Lion Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for coordinating and managing the receipt of the Services and have authority to act on Red Lion’s behalf with respect to matters relating to this Agreement. The Red Lion Services Manager will work with the personnel of Red Lion Entities to periodically address issues and matters raised by Navy relating to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 10.05, all communications from Navy to Red Lion pursuant to this Agreement regarding routine matters involving the Services set forth on the Schedules shall be made through the Red Lion Services Manager or such other individual as specified by the Red Lion Services Manager in writing and delivered to Navy by email or facsimile transmission with receipt confirmed. In the event the Red Lion Services Manager is unavailable or intends to be unavailable, the Red Lion Manager shall promptly specify another individual to serve as the Red Lion Services Manager in the interim. Red Lion shall notify Navy of the appointment of a different Red Lion Services Manager, if necessary, in accordance with Section 10.05.

Section 2.04. Personnel. (a) The Provider will have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to (i) designate which personnel it will assign to perform any Service, and (ii) remove and replace such personnel at any time, so long as there is no resulting increase in costs or decrease in the level of service for the Recipient; provided, however, that each Navy Employee shall hold any required licenses and certifications necessary, and shall be fully qualified, to perform the applicable Service and the Provider will use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to limit the disruption to the Recipient in the transition of the Services to different personnel. For the avoidance of doubt, no Recipient or other member of the Red Lion Group shall have the authority to terminate any Navy Employee’s employment with Navy or any other third party.

(b) In the event that the provision of any Service by the Provider requires, as set forth in the Schedules, the cooperation and services of the applicable personnel of the Recipient, the Recipient will make available such personnel as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Provider to provide such Service. The Recipient will have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to (i) designate which personnel it will make available to the Provider in connection with the foregoing sentence, and (ii) remove and replace such personnel at any time, in each case so long as there is no resulting increase in costs to, or any materially adverse effect to the provision of such Service by, the Provider; provided, however, that the Recipient will use its commercially reasonable efforts to limit the disruption to the Provider in the transition of such personnel. All personnel of the Recipient made available pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be instructed to comply with the applicable policies and guidelines of the Provider while on Provider premises, including any policies and guidelines relating to enterprise information technology (EIT).

Section 2.05. Employee Benefits Transition. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4(b) of the Employee Benefits Agreement, from the Separation Time through the last day of the quarter following the quarter in which the Closing Date occurs, Navy shall permit the Continuing Employees to continue to participate in the Navy Employee Benefits Plans listed on Schedule C at the same level of benefits and subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Separation Time (the “Benefits Transition”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.01, the Parties agree that, as payment for the Benefits Transition, Red Lion shall pay Navy (a) the aggregate amount of all premiums (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes both employer and employee premiums), at the rate(s) in effect as of the Separation Time, that are attributable to the Continuing Employees in connection with the insurance coverage and benefits provided under the Benefits Transition for the period from the Separation Time through termination of such Benefits Transition and (b) a separate amount equal to the incremental administrative cost of maintaining such insurance coverage and benefits (including applicable hardware and software maintenance and support charges) provided under the Benefits Transition for such period for the benefit of the Continuing Employees to the extent the premiums paid pursuant to (a) do not already include such incremental administrative cost. Xxxxx and Red Lion shall each jointly and severally indemnify and hold Navy and its Subsidiaries, other than the Red Lion Entities, harmless for any (i) liability arising solely from the Continuing Employees’ continued participation in any Navy Employee Benefit Plan listed on Schedule C hereto after the Separation Time and (ii) claim or liability arising in connection with the treatment of any such Navy Employee Benefit Plan as a multiple employer welfare arrangement as a result of any Continuing Employee’s participation in any such Navy Employee Benefit Plan, whether upon or following the participation of a Continuing Employee; provided, however, that Navy and its Subsidiaries shall take commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Xxxxx and Red Lion in defending against any claims for any such liability.

ARTICLE III

OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

Section 3.01. Third Party Licenses and Consents. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and to keep and maintain in effect, all governmental or third party licenses and consents required for the provision of any Service by a Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, that if a Provider is unable to obtain or maintain any such license or consent, such Provider shall promptly notify the Recipient in writing and shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to implement an appropriate alternative arrangement. To the extent such failure to obtain or maintain any such license or consent is not due to Provider’s own negligence or other failure to satisfy Provider’s obligations hereunder, the reasonable costs relating to obtaining any such licenses or consents, to the extent attributable to the Services, shall be borne by the Recipient; provided, that the Provider shall not incur any such costs without the prior written consent of the Recipient. If any such license, consent or permissible alternative arrangement is not reasonably available despite the commercially reasonable efforts of the Provider and its Affiliates, such Provider shall not be required to provide the affected Services, and in the event the Provider ceases providing such Services, the Recipient shall have no obligation to pay any Service Charges or Termination Charges in respect of periods after the date the Provider ceases providing such Service. A Provider shall not, without the Recipient’s prior written consent, enter into any contract or agreement, or modify the terms of any existing contract or agreement, if as a result: (a) the provision of any Service would violate the terms of such contract or agreement; (b) costs payable or potentially payable by Recipient would increase; (c) or such Provider could otherwise become unable to provide any Service.

Section 3.02. Third Party Providers. If a Provider receives written notice from any third party service provider that such Person intends to terminate a service pursuant to which such Provider provides, or causes to be provided, a Service to the Recipient, then such Provider shall provide a copy of such written notice to the Recipient and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure the continued provision of that service from such third party or an alternative service provider. In any such event, Recipient shall have no obligation to pay any Service Charge or Termination Charge or otherwise pay any third party costs or expenses relating to such terminated Services in respect of periods after the date of the termination of such Service that has not been continued or for which alternative arrangements have been made.

ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 4.01. Navy Computer-Based and Other Resources. (a) As of the date of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Schedules to this Agreement or the Separation Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties in the Merger Agreement, in any other Ancillary Agreement, or in the Project Services Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties, or unless required in connection with the performance of or delivery of a Service, Red Lion and its Affiliates shall cease to use and shall have no further access to, and Navy shall have no obligation to otherwise provide, the Navy intranet and other owned or licensed computer software, networks, hardware or technology of Navy or its Affiliates and shall have no access to, and Navy shall have no obligation to otherwise provide, computer-based resources (including e-mail and access to Navy’s or its Affiliates’ computer networks and databases) that require a password or are available on a secured access basis only. From and after the date of this

Agreement, Red Lion and its Affiliates shall cause all of their personnel having access to the Navy intranet or such other Navy computer software (including source code and object code versions of any applications programs, operating system software, computer software languages, utilities, tools and other computer programs of Navy, in whatever form or media (including the tangible media upon which such are recorded or printed), together with all corrections, improvements, updates and releases thereof), networks, hardware, technology or computer based resources pursuant to the Separation Agreement, any Transaction Document or in connection with performance, receipt or delivery of a Service to comply with all security guidelines (including physical security, network access, internet security, confidentiality and personal data security guidelines) of Navy and its Affiliates to the extent (i) set forth in Schedule D and (ii) Navy provides Red Lion a copy or summary of the applicable guideline. Red Lion shall ensure that the access contemplated by this Section 4.01 shall be used by such Red Lion personnel, employees, agents or contractors only for the purposes of performing, receiving and/or delivering the Services or as otherwise contemplated by, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided in the Project Services Agreement with regards to the Clone and MFT, as those terms are defined therein, Red Lion shall ensure that Navy computer software (including source code and object code versions of any applications programs, operating system software, computer software languages, utilities, tools and other computer programs of Navy, in whatever form or media (including the tangible media upon which such are recorded or printed), together with all corrections, improvements, updates and releases thereof) to which Red Lion has access (x) shall be used solely in connection with Red Lion’s performance, receipt or delivery of the Services hereunder (and shall not be used by or on behalf of Red Lion for any purpose whatsoever following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by Navy in its sole discretion), (y) shall not be modified by or on behalf of Red Lion, and (z) shall not be modified, copied, emulated or otherwise utilized in connection with any other activity, including not being used by or on behalf of Red Lion to create software applications of equivalent or similar functionality as that of Navy software.

(b) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, or unless required in connection with the performance or delivery of any Services, each of the Parties and its Affiliates shall cease using (and shall cause their employees to cease using) the services made available by the other Party and its Affiliates prior to the date of this Agreement.

Section 4.02. Co-location and Facilities Matters. (a) Navy hereby grants to Red Lion and its Affiliates a limited license to use and access space at certain facilities and to continue to use certain equipment located at such facilities (including use of office security and badge services), in each case as listed in Schedule B (the “Facilities”), for substantially the same purposes and in substantially the same manner used immediately prior to the date of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, at each of the Facilities, Navy shall, in addition to providing access and the right to use such facilities, shall provide to the personnel of Red Lion and its Affiliates substantially all ancillary services that are provided as of the date of this Agreement to its own personnel at such facility, such as, by way of example and not limitation: reception, general maintenance (subject to the immediately following sentence), janitorial, security (subject to the immediately following sentence) and telephone services; access to duplication, facsimile, printing and other similar office services; and use of cafeteria, break

room, restroom and other similar facilities. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedules, such ancillary services shall include (A) in the case of security, those services provided in connection with shared areas of a Facility, it being understood that the Provider shall not provide security services to Recipient-specific areas of Provider’s facility under the control of Recipient (to the extent that it is reasonably practicable for Recipient to provide such services with respect to any such Recipient-specific area) or security passes that permit entrance to Provider-specific areas of Provider’s facility, except to the extent necessary for Recipient’s personnel to access Recipient-specific areas or common areas of the facility, and (B) in the case of maintenance services, those services historically provided that are general in nature and within the scope of customary maintenance of ordinary wear and tear.

(b) Red Lion shall only permit its authorized Representatives, contractors, invitees or licensees to use the Facilities, except as otherwise permitted by Navy in writing. Red Lion shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries, Representatives, contractors, invitees or licensees to, vacate Navy’s Facilities at or prior to the expiration date relating to each Facility set forth in Schedule B and shall deliver over to Navy or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, the Facilities in substantially the same repair and condition at that date as on the date of this Agreement, ordinary wear and tear and any condition caused by Navy or its Subsidiaries excepted; provided, however, that in the event that the third-party lease for a Facility specifies otherwise, Red Lion shall deliver over such Facility in such repair and condition (taking into account the date that the Party began its occupation of such Facility) as set forth in the third-party lease. In addition to the access rights provided under Section 4.03, Navy or its Subsidiaries, or the landlord in respect of any third-party lease, shall have reasonable access to their respective Facilities from time to time as reasonably necessary for the security and maintenance thereof in accordance with past practice, the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any third-party lease agreement, if applicable. Red Lion agrees to maintain commercially appropriate and customary levels (in no event less than what is required by the landlord under the applicable lease agreement) of property and liability insurance in respect of the Facilities the Recipients occupy and the activities conducted thereon and to be responsible for, and to indemnify and hold harmless Navy and other parties in accordance with Article VII in respect of, the acts and omissions of the Recipients’ Representatives, contractors, invitees and licensees. Red Lion shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, Representatives, contractors, invitees and licensees to, comply in all material respects with (i) all Laws applicable to their use or occupation of any Facility including those relating to environmental and workplace safety matters, (ii) Navy’s applicable site rules, regulations, policies and procedures, and (iii) any applicable requirements of any third-party lease governing any Facility. Navy shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, Representatives, contractors, invitees and licensees to, comply in all material respects with (i) all Laws applicable to their use or occupation of any Facility including those relating to environmental and workplace safety matters, (ii) Navy’s applicable site rules, regulations, policies and procedures, and (iii) any applicable requirements of any third-party lease governing any Facility. Red Lion shall not make, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, Representatives, contractors, invitees and licensees to refrain from making, any material alterations or improvements to the Facilities except with the prior written approval of the other Navy or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, which consent Navy may withhold in its sole discretion. Navy shall provide heating, cooling, electricity and other utility services for the Facilities substantially consistent with levels provided prior to the date of this Agreement. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be in the nature of a license and shall not create a leasehold or other estate or possessory rights in Red Lion, or its Subsidiaries, Representatives, contractors, invitees or licensees, with respect to the Facilities.

Section 4.03. Access. (a) Red Lion shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, allow Navy and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the Facilities (and portions thereof) occupied by Red Lion necessary for Navy to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement provided, however, that Navy and each Provider will use its commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to limit the disruption to the Recipient in the fulfillment of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the other rights of access of the Parties under this Agreement, Navy shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford Red Lion, its Subsidiaries and Representatives, following not less than five (5) business days’ prior written notice from Red Lion, reasonable access during normal business hours to the facilities, information, systems, infrastructure, and personnel of the Providers as reasonably necessary for Red Lion to verify the adequacy of internal controls over information technology, reporting of financial data and related processes employed in connection with the Services, including in connection with verifying compliance with Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002; provided, however, such access shall not unreasonably disrupt any of the business or operations of Navy or its Subsidiaries.

Section 4.04. Cooperation. It is understood that it will require the significant efforts of both Parties to implement this Agreement and to ensure performance of this Agreement by the Parties at the agreed upon levels in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Parties will cooperate, acting in good faith and using commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a smooth and orderly provision and transition of the Services provided under this Agreement from the Provider to the Recipient (including repairs & maintenance Services and the assignment or transfer of the rights and obligations under any third-party contracts relating to the Services); provided, however, that this Section 4.04 shall not require either Party to incur any material out-of-pocket costs or expenses unless and except as expressly provided in this Agreement or otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties.

ARTICLE V

COSTS AND DISBURSEMENTS

Section 5.01. Costs and Disbursements. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Schedules to this Agreement, a Recipient of Services shall pay to the Provider of such Services an agreed upon monthly fee for the Services based on Provider’s cost of providing such Services (or category of Services, as applicable), including such Provider’s customary allocation of overhead expenses and leveraged assets, services and resources (including applicable hardware and software maintenance and support charges), but excluding any out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable to third party service providers or sellers of hardware and software (each such fee constituting a “Service Charge” and, collectively, “Service Charges”). During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Service Charge for any Services (or category of Services, as applicable) shall not increase, except to the extent (i) appropriate to reflect an increase in the volume of Services received or requested by any Recipient, or (ii) as

otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties. The relevant Schedule shall be updated to reflect such increase in Service Charges. All charges based on a monthly or other time basis will be pro-rated based on actual days elapsed during the period of service. In addition to the Service Charges, the Recipient shall reimburse the Provider for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable to any third party service providers that are providing Services or any acquisitions of hardware and software.

(b) The Provider shall deliver an invoice to the Recipient for all Service Charges (and any taxes due and owing in accordance with Section 5.02), plus any out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable (i) to any third party service providers that are providing Services and (ii) to sellers of any acquired hardware and software, on a monthly basis beginning on the second (2nd) month following the Closing Date, in arrears for the Service Charges and any out-of-pocket costs and expenses due to the Provider under this Agreement. The Recipient shall pay the undisputed amount of each such invoice by wire transfer to the Provider within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of each such invoice. If the Recipient fails to pay such amount by such date, the Recipient shall be obligated to pay to the Provider, in addition to the amount due, interest at an annual interest rate of five percent (5%) (the “Interest Payment”), accruing from the date the payment was due through the date of actual payment. The Provider shall provide the Recipient with data and documentation (including copies of all applicable third-party invoices) reasonably satisfactory to the Recipient (i) supporting the calculation of any Service Charges that are increased pursuant to Section 5.01(a); (ii) supporting any Service Charges that are variable from month to month (including as a result of any increase or reduction in Services or otherwise) or (iii) supporting any out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable to any third party service providers that provided Services and any sellers of hardware and software for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of such calculation.

(c) Subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 10.03, Navy shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice from Red Lion, any information within its or its Affiliates’ possession that Red Lion reasonably requests in connection with any Services being provided (either by Navy or any of its Affiliates or an unaffiliated third-party provider), including any applicable invoices, agreements documenting the arrangements between Affiliate or third-party provider and the Provider and other supporting documentation.

Section 5.02. Taxes. (a) Without limiting any provisions of this Agreement, the Recipient shall bear any and all sales, use, transaction, services, gross receipts (to the extent imposed in lieu of sales or transfer taxes) and transfer taxes and other similar charges (and any related interest and penalties) imposed on, or payable with respect to, Services and any fees or charges, including any Service Charges, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement (any such taxes or amounts “Service Taxes”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.02(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Recipient shall be entitled to withhold from any payments to the Provider any such taxes that Recipient is required by law to withhold and shall pay over such taxes to the applicable taxing authority. If the Recipient withholds any amounts respecting Service Taxes, the sum payable by the Recipient to the Provider shall be increased as necessary so that after such withholding has been made (including such withholdings applicable to the additional amounts payable under this Section), the Provider receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding been made.

Section 5.03. No Right to Set-Off. The Recipient shall pay the full amount of Service Charges and shall not set-off, counterclaim or otherwise withhold any amount owed to the Provider under this Agreement on account of any obligation owed by the Provider to the Recipient that has not been finally adjudicated, settled or otherwise agreed upon by the Parties in writing.

Section 5.04. Allocation of Rebates. If (a) the Provider receives rebates applicable to resources utilized by the Provider to provide the Services, (b) such rebate applies to a period of time during which the Provider utilized the subject of such rebate to provide the Services, and (c) the Recipient has paid all Service Charges relating to such Services for the period of time to which such rebate applies, then to the extent the Provider has received such rebate (either as a cash payment or as a credit against fees on an invoice), such rebate shall be allocated between the Provider and the Recipient on a pro rata basis to reflect the relative percentage of the usage of the applicable resource for the benefit of the Provider or the Recipient, respectively. Where a rebate does not correspond to a particular Service category, Service Charge category, or time period during which the Services were provided, the applicable rebate shall be adjusted or divided as appropriate to derive an effective rebate rate for the Service categories, Service Charge categories, and time periods with respect to which rebates are to be allocated pursuant to this Section 5.04.

ARTICLE VI

STANDARD FOR SERVICE

Section 6.01. Standard for Service. (a) Except where the Provider is restricted by an existing contract with a third party or by Law, and unless any Schedule hereto indicates otherwise or the parties shall agree in writing to a different arrangement, Navy agrees to, and to cause each Provider (i) to comply with all applicable Laws and perform the Services such that the nature, quality, standard of care and the service levels at which such Services are performed are no less than the nature, quality, standard of care and service levels at which the same or similar services were performed by or on behalf of the Provider during the twelve-month period prior to the Closing Date (or, if not so previously provided, then substantially similar to that which are applicable to similar services provided to the Provider’s Affiliates or other business components); and (ii) upon receipt of written notice from the Recipient identifying any outage, interruption or other failure of any Service, to respond to such outage, interruption or other failure of any Services in a manner that is no less than that which is substantially similar to the manner in which such Provider or its Affiliates responded to any outage, interruption or other failure of the same or similar services during the twelve-month period prior to the Closing Date (the Parties acknowledge that an outage, interruption or other failure of any Service shall not be deemed to be a breach of the provisions of this Section 6.01 so long as the applicable Provider complies with this clause (ii)). As of or following the date of this Agreement, if the Provider is or becomes aware of any restriction on the Provider by an existing contract with a third-party that would restrict the nature, quality, standard of care or service levels applicable to delivery of the Services to be provided by the Provider to the Recipient, the Provider shall promptly notify

the Recipient of any such restriction (which notice shall in any event precede any change to, or reduction in, the nature, quality, standard of care or service levels applicable to delivery of the Services resulting from such restriction) and use good faith efforts to provide such Services in a manner as closely as possible to the standards described in this Section 6.01, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to the applicable Schedule to reflect such change to, or reduction in, the nature, quality, standard of care or service levels of the Service, as applicable. The Provider shall have no obligation to provide any Services hereunder in respect of any business, assets or properties acquired by the Recipient or any of its Affiliates subsequent to the Closing Date.

(b) It is understood and agreed that a Provider may (but is not obligated to) from time to time modify, change or enhance the manner, nature, quality and/or standard of care of any Service provided to the Recipient to the extent such Provider is making a similar change in the performance of such services for the Provider and its Affiliates. The Provider shall promptly furnish to Recipient notice with respect to such modifications, changes or enhancements, including a reasonably detailed description thereof. To the extent any such modification or change affects a Service and relates to technology, software or information systems, the Provider shall have no obligation to continue to provide, or cause to be provided, such Service using the prior technology, software or information systems, but shall be required to provide such Service in accordance with this Agreement (or an alternate service that meets the requirements for such Service set out in Schedule A) using its upgraded or changed technology, software or information systems. Any reasonable incremental expense incurred by the Provider in making any such modification, change or enhancement to the Services performed hereunder or in providing such Services on an ongoing basis shall be taken into account in the calculation of Service Costs to the extent contemplated by Section 5.01(a); provided, no such incremental cost in making any such modification, change or enhancement to the Services performed hereunder or in providing such Services on an ongoing basis shall be taken into account to the extent an alternative service is utilized by Provider. The Provider shall have no obligation to provide, or cause to be provided, Services to the extent any changes are made to the Recipient’s business that materially increase or materially adversely increase the Provider’s burden with respect to the provision of such Services or that make commercially impracticable the provision of such Services, unless and only to the extent the Parties otherwise agree in writing or as expressly set forth herein.

(c) The Provider shall have the right to shut down temporarily for maintenance purposes the operation of the Facilities providing any Service whenever, in the Provider’s sole and absolute discretion, such action is necessary; provided, however, that no preplanned temporary shutdown shall occur with less than forty-eight (48) hours’ advance notice to the applicable Recipient. For clarity, the Provider may temporarily close Facilities without advance notice in order to perform maintenance in response to an emergency or an event that impairs the use of the Facility. The Provider shall be relieved of its obligations to provide the Services affected by such shutdown during the period that its Facilities are so shut down, and the Recipient shall be relieved of its obligations to pay the Service Charges and potential Termination Charges related to such Services in respect of periods after the date the applicable Services so shut down.

Section 6.02. Disclaimer of Warranties. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Services are provided as-is, that the Recipients assume all risks and liability arising from or relating to its use of and reliance upon the Services and each Provider makes no representation or warranty with respect thereto. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, PROVIDERS HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE SERVICES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IN REGARD TO QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, NONINFRINGEMENT, COMMERCIAL UTILITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF THE TRANSITION SERVICES FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Section 6.03. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement. No Party will knowingly take any action in violation of any such applicable Law that results in liability being imposed on the other Party.

Section 7.04. Obligation To Re-perform; Liabilities .

Other than as set forth in Section 7.06, the remedy set forth in this Section 7.04 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Recipient for any such breach of this Agreement. Any request for re-performance in accordance with this Section 7.04 by the Recipient must be in writing and specify in reasonable detail the particular error, defect or breach, and such request must be made no more than one (1) month from the date such breach occurred.

Section 7.05. Release and Recipient Indemnity. Subject to Section 7.01, each Recipient hereby releases the Providers and their Affiliates and Representatives (each, a “Provider Indemnified Party”), and each Recipient hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each such Provider Indemnified Party from and against any and all liabilities arising from, relating to or in connection with the use of any Services by such Recipient or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or other Persons using such Services, except to the extent that such liabilities arise out of, relate to or are a consequence of the applicable Provider Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 7.06. Provider Indemnity . Subject to Section 7.01, each Provider hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Recipients and their Affiliates and Representatives (each a “Recipient Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all liabilities arising from, relating to or in connection with the use of any Services by such Recipient or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or other Persons using such Services or in connection with the sale, delivery, provision or use of any Services provided under or contemplated by this Agreement to the extent that such liabilities arise out of, relate to or are a consequence of the applicable Provider’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The provisions of Sections 7.04, 7.05 and 7.06 of this Agreement, subject to Section 7.03, shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Provider Indemnified Parties and the Recipient Indemnified Parties, as applicable, for any claim, loss, damage, expense or liability, whether arising from statute, principle of common or civil law, principles of strict liability, tort, contract or otherwise under this Agreement.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 8.01. Dispute Resolution. (a) In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of any provision of this Agreement, or calculation or allocation of the costs of any Service, including claims seeking redress or asserting rights under any Law (each, a “Dispute”), Navy and Red Lion agree that the Navy Services Manager and the Red Lion Services Manager (or such other persons as Navy and Red Lion may designate) shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to resolve such Dispute amicably. If such Dispute has not been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of Navy and Red Lion within fifteen (15) days after the initial written notice of the Dispute (or such longer period as the Parties may agree), then such Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution process referred to in Article V of the Separation Agreement; provided, that such dispute resolution process shall not modify or add to the remedies available to the Parties under this Agreement.

(b) In any Dispute regarding the amount of a Service Charge, if after such Dispute is finally resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution process set forth or referred to in Section 8.01(a), it is determined that the Service Charge that the Provider has invoiced the Recipient, and that the Recipient has paid to the Provider, is greater or less than the amount that the Service Charge should have been, then (a) if it is determined that the Recipient has overpaid the Service Charge, the Provider shall within five (5) business days after such determination reimburse the Recipient an amount of cash equal to such overpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date of payment by the Recipient to the time of reimbursement by the Provider; and (b) if it is determined that the Recipient has underpaid the Service Charge, the Recipient shall within five (5) business days after such determination reimburse the Provider an amount of cash equal to such underpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the date such payment originally should have been made by the Recipient to the time of payment by the Recipient.

ARTICLE IX

TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 9.01. Term and Termination. (a) This Agreement shall commence immediately upon the Closing Date and shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the last date on which either Party is obligated to provide any Service to the other Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) the mutual written agreement of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in its entirety; provided, however, that this Agreement shall terminate with respect to any individual Service (or category of Services, as applicable), (i) automatically upon the completion of such individual Service (or category of Services, as applicable) or (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties to terminate this Agreement with respect to such individual Service (or category of Services, as applicable).

(b) (i) Without prejudice to a Recipient’s rights with respect to a Force Majeure, a Recipient may from time to time terminate this Agreement with respect to any individual Service or the entirety of the Services or any portion thereof, (A) for any reason or no reason (y) upon providing to the Provider sixty (60) days’ prior written notice, and (z) subject to the obligation to pay any applicable Termination Charges pursuant to Section 9.02, or (B) if the Provider of such Service has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Service, and such failure shall continue to exist thirty (30) days after receipt by the Provider of written notice of such failure from the Recipient; and (ii) a Provider may terminate this Agreement with respect to one or more Services, in whole but not in part, at any time upon prior written notice to the Recipient if the Recipient has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Services, including making payment of Service Charges when due, and such failure shall be continued uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the Recipient of a written notice of such failure from the Provider. The relevant Schedule shall be updated to reflect any terminated Service. In the event that any Service is terminated other than at the end of a month, the Service Charge associated with such Service shall be pro-rated for the remainder of such month appropriately. The Parties acknowledge that there may be interdependencies among the Services being provided under this Agreement that are not identified on the applicable Schedules, and agree that if the Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement is materially and adversely impacted by the termination of another Service in accordance with Section 9.01(b)(i)(A) prior to the expiration of the period of the maximum duration for such Service, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Schedule relating to such impacted continuing Service, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, comparable Services.

(c) A Recipient may from time to time request a reduction in part of the scope or amount of any Service. If requested to do so by Recipient, the Provider agrees to discuss in good faith appropriate reductions to the relevant Service Charges in light of all relevant factors including the costs and benefits to the Provider of any such reductions. If, after such discussions, and without prejudice to Recipient’s rights under Section 9.01(b), the Recipient and the Provider do not agree to any requested reduction of the scope or amount of any Service and the relevant Service Charges in connection therewith, then there shall be no change to the scope or amount of any Services or Service Charges under this Agreement. In the event that a Recipient and a Provider agreed to any reduction of Service and the relevant Service Charges, the relevant Schedule shall be updated to reflect such reduced Service. In the event that any Service is reduced other than at the end of a month, the Service Charge associated with such Service for the month in which such Service is reduced shall be pro-rated appropriately.

Section 9.02. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of any Service pursuant to this Agreement, the Provider of the terminated Service will have no further obligation to provide the terminated Service, and the relevant Recipient will have no obligation to pay any future Service Charges relating to any such Service; provided, that the Recipient shall remain obligated to the relevant Provider for the (i) Service Charges owed and payable in respect of Services provided prior to the effective date of termination and (ii) any applicable Termination Charges. In connection with termination of any Service, the provisions of this Agreement not relating solely to such terminated Service shall survive any such termination, and in connection with a termination of this Agreement, Article I, Article VII (including liability in respect of any indemnifiable liabilities under this Agreement arising or occurring on or prior to the date of termination), Article VIII, Article IX, Article X, all confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and liability for all due and unpaid Service Charges and any applicable Termination Charges payable pursuant to the early termination of a Service, shall continue to survive indefinitely.

Section 9.03. Force Majeure. (a) No Provider (nor any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure; provided, that (i) the Provider (or such Person) shall have exercised commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effect of Force Majeure on its obligations; and (ii) the nature, quality and standard of care that the Provider shall provide in delivering a Service after a Force Majeure shall be substantially the same as the nature, quality and standard of care that the Provider provides to its Affiliates and its other business components with respect to such Service. In the event of an occurrence of a Force Majeure, the Provider shall give notice of suspension as soon as reasonably practicable to the other stating the date and extent of such suspension and the cause thereof, and the Provider shall resume the performance of such obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of such cause. In such event, the Recipient shall be relieved of any and all obligations in respect of the payment of any Service Charge for the applicable suspended Service with respect to the period of time such Service is suspended as a result of the applicable Force Majeure.

(b) During the term of this Agreement, including during the period of a Force Majeure, the Recipient shall be entitled to seek an alternative service provider with respect to any Service(s) (at Recipient’s own expense).

ARTICLE X

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 10.01. No Agency. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed in any way or for any purpose to constitute any party an agent of another unaffiliated party in the conduct of such other party’s business. Each Provider of any Service under this Agreement shall act as an independent contractor and not as the agent of the Recipient in performing such Service, maintaining control over its employees, its subcontractors and their employees and complying with all withholding of income at source requirements, whether federal, state, local or foreign.

Section 10.02. Subcontractors. A Provider may hire or engage one or more subcontractors to perform any or all of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, that (i) such Provider shall use the same degree of care in selecting any such subcontractor as it would if such contractor was being retained to provide similar services to the Provider and (ii) such Provider shall in all cases remain responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the scope of the Services, the standard for services as set forth in Article VI and the content of the Services provided to the Recipient.

Section 10.03. Treatment of Confidential Information. (a) The Parties shall not, and shall cause all other persons providing Services or having access to information of the other Party that is known to such Party as confidential or proprietary (“Confidential Information”) not to, disclose to any other person or use, except for purposes of this Agreement, any Confidential Information of the other Party; provided, however, that each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) to its Representatives on a need-to-know basis in connection with the performance of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) in any report, statement, testimony or other submission required to be made to any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the disclosing Party; or (iii) in order to comply with applicable Law, or in response to any summons, subpoena or other legal process or formal or informal investigative demand issued to the disclosing Party in the course of any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding. In the event that a Party becomes legally compelled (based on advice of counsel) by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar judicial or administrative process to disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party, such disclosing Party shall provide the other Party with prompt prior written notice of such requirement, and, to the extent reasonably practicable, cooperate with the other Party (at such other Party’s expense) to obtain a protective order or similar remedy to cause such Confidential Information not to be disclosed, including interposing all available objections thereto, such as objections based on settlement privilege. In the event that such protective order or other similar remedy is not obtained, the disclosing Party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that has been legally compelled, and shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts (at such other Party’s expense) to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. Navy’s Confidential Information shall include any data and software that Red Lion or any of its Affiliates are provided or have access to solely as a result of the access rights provided in Section 4.01.

(b) Each Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to protect the Confidential Information of the other Party by using the same degree of care to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of such as the Party uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature.

(c) Each Party shall cause its Representatives to agree to be bound by the same restrictions on use and disclosure of Confidential Information as are binding upon such Party in advance of the disclosure of any such Confidential Information to them.

(d) Each Party shall comply with all applicable state, federal and foreign privacy and data protection Laws that are or that may in the future be applicable to the provision of Services under this Agreement.

Section 10.04. Further Assurances. Each Party covenants and agrees that, without any additional consideration, it shall execute and deliver any further legal instruments and perform any acts that are or may become necessary to effectuate this Agreement.
