To the extent required or permitted by applicable Law, there will be added to any Fees due under this Agreement, and Service Recipient agrees to pay to the Service Provider, amounts equal to any Taxes paid or payable by the Service Provider, however designated or levied, based upon such Fees, or upon this Agreement or the Services provided under this Agreement, or their use. 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 jurisdiction any additional amounts due, including Taxes, interest and penalties. The Parties will reasonably cooperate with each other to minimize any of these Taxes and to obtain and provide each other with reasonable documentation related to these Taxes. If additional amounts are determined to be due on the Services provided hereunder as a result of an audit by a tax jurisdiction, Service Recipient agrees to reimburse the Service Provider for the additional amounts due including Taxes, interest and penalties. The Parties further agree that, notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party will be required to pay any income, franchise or employment Taxes of the other Party. All payments and reimbursements due under this Section 4.2 will be calculated in a manner that ensures that the Service Provider receives the same net amounts under this Agreement that it would have received in the absence of Taxes.

Section 4.3 Invoices and Payment.

-12-    

(a)Unless otherwise specified in Annex C or Annex D, within 30 days following the end of each fiscal month of Service Provider, the Service Provider will submit to the Service Recipient for payment a written statement of amounts due under this Agreement for such month (an “Invoice”). The Invoice will set forth the Fees and any Third Party costs or charges that are required to be reimbursed by Service Recipient in connection with the provision of any Services, in the aggregate and itemized, based on the descriptions set forth on Annex C or Annex D, as the case may be. Each statement will specify the nature of any amounts due for any Fees as set forth on Annex C or Annex D 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.

(b)Unless otherwise specified in Annex C or Annex D, the Service Recipient will pay all amounts due pursuant to an Invoice no later than 60 days after the date of the Invoice (the “Payment Due Date”). All timely payments under this Agreement will be made without early payment discount.

(c)Subject to Section 4.4, if the Service Recipient 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 4.3(c) and by Section 6.3 will be cumulative with respect to any other applicable provisions of this Agreement. Payments made after the Payment Due Date will bear interest at the rates set forth in Annex C or Annex D for the applicable Services.

Section 4.4 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 (“Objection Notice”) to the Service Provider prior to the Payment Due Date. Any dispute under this Section 4.4 will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.8 and the provisions of Article V of the Separation Agreement. The Service Recipient will pay interest, which will begin to accrue beginning on the date that is 60 days following receipt of the Service Recipient’s Objection Notice, at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 2.0% (compounded monthly) on any amounts it is required to pay to the Service Provider upon resolution of the dispute if the dispute is resolved in the Service Provider’s favor.

ARTICLE V CONFIDENTIALITY; SECURITY

Section 5.1 Labcorp and Fortrea Obligations. Subject to Section 5.4, until the six (6)-year anniversary of the date of the termination of this Agreement in its entirety, each of Labcorp and Fortrea, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to Labcorp’s Confidential Information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, all Confidential Information concerning the other Party or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses that is either in its possession (including Confidential Information in its possession prior to the date hereof) or furnished by such other Party or such other Party’s Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, and shall

not use any such Confidential Information other than for such purposes as may be expressly permitted hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such Confidential Information (a) is in the public domain or is generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement; (b) is lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries, which sources are not themselves known by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries to be bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such Confidential Information; (c) is independently developed or generated without reference to or use of the Confidential Information of the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries; or (d) was in such Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession on a non-confidential basis prior to the time of disclosure to such Party and at the time of such disclosure was not known by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries to be prohibited from being disclosed by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such Confidential Information. If any Confidential Information of a Party or any of its Subsidiaries is disclosed to the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services, then such disclosed Confidential Information shall be used only as required to perform such Services.

Section 5.2 No Release; Return or Destruction. Each Party agrees (a) not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any Confidential Information of the other Party addressed in Section 5.1 to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such Confidential Information in their capacities as such (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such Confidential Information) and except in compliance with Section 5.4, and (b) to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such Confidential Information in accordance with Section 3.03 of the Separation Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, when any such Confidential Information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by the Separation Agreement, this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, each Party will promptly after request of the other Party either return to the other Party all such Confidential Information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or notify the other Party in writing that it has destroyed such information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon); provided that the Parties may retain electronic back-up versions of such Confidential Information maintained on routine computer system backup tapes, disks or other backup storage devices; and provided, further, that any such retained back-up information shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.3 Privacy and Data Protection Laws.

(a)Each Party warrants and agrees to:

(i)Comply with all applicable Data Protection Laws in the Processing of Personal Data for the purpose of the provision of the Services under this Agreement;

(ii)Execute the Data Processing Agreement where applicable and required by Data Protection Laws. Subject to Section 5.3 (a)(iii) below, should any agreements between the Parties, including this Agreement,

-14-    

be in conflict with the provisions of the Data Processing Agreement, the latter agreement shall control;

(iii)Process Personal Data solely as required by the Agreement and the Data Processing Agreement;

(iv)Execute the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, UK Standard Contractual Clauses and/or Swiss Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable and consistent with applicable Data Protection Laws. As required by Clause 5 of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail over any other term of the Data Processing Agreement and this Agreement;

(vi)Comply with all applicable Data Protection Laws that are or that may in the future be applicable to the provision of the Services under this Agreement.

(c)In the event of a modification of the Services in accordance with Section 3.4, each Party agrees and acknowledges that the Data Processing Agreement shall be amended to reflect any further instructions of the Controller regarding the Processing of Personal Data.

Section 5.4 Protective Arrangements. Subject to applicable Data Protection Laws, in the event that a Party or any of its Subsidiaries either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate, at the expense of the other Party, in seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the other Party. In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information, and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a

-15-    

copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted. The obligations in this ARTICLE V shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for six (6) years after the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that, with respect to each trade secret of a Party or its Affiliates, such obligations shall continue as long as such trade secret remains otherwise protectable as a trade secret.

Section 5.5 Security.

Subject to applicable Data Protection Laws:

(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 Services, the Party given access (the “Availed Party”) will each comply with (and will cause its Affiliates, and their employees, authorized agents and subcontractors to comply with) their respective 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 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 forth above in this Section 5.5(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.

-16-    

(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.

(a)The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will commence on the Distribution Date and end on the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which the provision of all Services have terminated pursuant to Annex C or Annex D (inclusive of any term extension agreed to by the Parties for any Extendable Service pursuant to Section 6.1(b)), (ii) the date on which the provision of all Services has been terminated by the Parties pursuant to Section 6.2, (iii) the date this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.3 and (iv) the date that is 24 months after the Distribution Date.

(b)Unless identified on Annex C and Annex D as ineligible for extension, all Services are eligible for an extension of their respective Service Term as provided in this Section 6.1(b) (each such Service, an “Extendable Service”). To the extent reasonably necessary to (i) continue the transition of any Extendable Service from Service Provider or its Affiliates to Service Recipients, its Affiliates or other providers and (ii) the continued operation of Service Recipient’s business in connection therewith, in each case, as reasonably agreed by Service Provider and Service Recipient, Service Recipient may elect, by delivering written notice to Service Provider no later than 60 days prior to the end of the then in effect term for such Extendable Service, to extend any such Extendable Service (and, as necessary, the term of this Agreement with respect to such Service) for a maximum period of six months beyond the scheduled termination of such Service (which period shall in no event end later than the date that is the 24-month anniversary of the Distribution Date); provided, however, that Service Recipient may only extend each such Extendable Service one time; provided further, however, that any extension of the Service Term for such Extendable Service is subject to receiving any necessary consents from Third Party vendors to such extension. To the extent the Service Term of any Extendable Service is extended hereunder, Service Recipient will be responsible for any incremental costs related to enabling such extension. If Service Provider agrees to provide such Extendable Service during the requested period, then (i) the Parties shall in good faith negotiate the terms of an amendment to the Annexes hereto, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of the applicable Service; and (ii) the Fee for such Service during the extension of the Service Term shall be equal to 105% of the original Fee for such Service

Section 6.2 Partial Termination.

(a)Unless identified on Annex C or Annex D as ineligible for termination prior to the expiration of the Service Term, all Services are eligible for termination prior to the expiration of the Service Term (“Eligible Services”). The Service Recipient may, upon providing 60 days written notice to the Service Provider and satisfying any such other requirements specified in Annex C or Annex D with respect to any such Eligible Service, terminate any Eligible Services that, prior to the expiration of the Service Term, are no longer needed from the Service Provider, in which case this Agreement will terminate as to such Eligible Services (a “Partial Termination”); provided, that such termination shall not relieve the Service Recipient from any obligations arising under this Agreement prior to the termination of such

-17-    

Service(s) or its obligations with regard to those Services it continues to receive. 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 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 6.3 Termination of Entire Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.5, 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 30 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 30 days, if the defaulting Party has not promptly begun to cure the default within such 30-day period and thereafter proceeded with all diligence to cure the same.

Section 6.4 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. Termination will not affect any right to payment for Services provided prior to termination.

-18-    

Section 6.5 Effect of Termination. Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 (in each case, with respect to Fees and Taxes attributable to periods prior to termination), Section 3.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 6.4, this Section 6.5, ARTICLE I, ARTICLE V, ARTICLE VII and ARTICLE VIII will survive any termination of this Agreement. In the event of a Partial Termination, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect with respect to the Services which have not been terminated by the Parties as provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of this Agreement with respect to the Services provided under one Annex, but not the other Annex, will not be a termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.6 Exit. The Parties acknowledge that the Transfer Regulations may apply on termination of the whole or part of this Agreement such that the contracts of employment between the Service Provider and the Transferring Employees may have effect as if originally made between the Service Recipient and the Transferring Employees (except in relation to pension benefits) and that any collective agreements applicable to such Transferring Employees shall have effect between the Service Recipient and the relevant trade union.

Section 6.7 Responsibility for Salary and Other Benefits on Exit. All emoluments and outgoings in relation to the Transferring Employees (including without limitation all wages, bonuses, holiday pay, social insurance contributions, pension contributions and otherwise) shall be borne by the Service Provider up to and including the Termination Date and by the Service Recipient with effect from the Termination Date.

Section 6.8 Indemnities on Exit. In connection with a transfer under Section 6.6, the Parties agree that:

(a)the Service Provider will indemnify, keep indemnified and hold harmless the Service Recipient against all Liabilities in respect of the Transferring Employees, arising from, in respect of or as a result of:

(i)any act or omission by the Service Provider (including any failure to comply with an applicable obligation under Section 6.7) relating to any Transferring Employees occurring prior to the Termination Date; and

(ii)any failure by the Service Provider to comply with any requirement of Regulation 13 and 14 of the Transfer Regulations except to the extent that such failure is caused by a failure by the Service Recipient to comply with Regulation 13(4) of the Transfer Regulations (or equivalent provision under the Directive or any national implementing legislation of the Directive, as applicable);

(b)the Service Recipient will indemnify, keep indemnified and hold harmless, the Service Provider against all Liabilities in respect of the Transferring Employees arising from, in respect of or as a result of:

(i)any act or omission by the Service Recipient (including any failure to comply with an applicable obligation under Section 6.7)

-19-    

relating to any Transferring Employees occurring on or after the Termination Date;

(ii)any claim arising out of the provision of or proposal by the Service Recipient to offer or effect any variation to any benefit, term or condition or working condition of any Transferring Employees which is intended to take effect on or after the Termination Date; and

(iii)any failure by the Service Recipient to comply with Regulations 13(4) of the Transfer Regulations (or equivalent provision under the Directive or any national implementing legislation of the Directive, as applicable) in respect of the Transferring Employees.

Section 6.9 Procedure and indemnity for claims by non-Transferring Employees.

(a)If any person other than any Transferring Employee claims or alleges as a result of the termination of this agreement that his contract of employment has transferred to the Service Recipient pursuant to the Transfer Regulations the following process shall apply:

(i)the Service Recipient shall notify the Service Provider in writing within 35 days of the Termination Date and in any event seven days of becoming aware of that allegation or claim ("Notification");

(ii)within 28 days of Notification, the Service Provider may offer employment to such person on their existing terms and conditions of employment. If such offer of employment is accepted, the Service Recipient shall immediately release the person from its employment; and

(iii)if an offer of employment has not been made or accepted then the Service Recipient may terminate the employment of such person within seven days of the expiry of the 28 day period referred to in Section 6.9(a)(ii).

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.9 being followed by the Service Recipient, the Service Provider will indemnify, keep indemnified and hold harmless, the Service Recipient against all Liabilities arising out of such allegation or claim up to the date of and in respect of such termination. If the Service Recipient fails to take the action outlined in Section 6.9(a)(iii) within the appropriate time period then such person will be deemed a Transferring Employee.

ARTICLE VII INDEMNIFICATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 7.1 Limitation of Liability.

(a)No Party nor any of such Party’s Affiliates will be liable, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, for any special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential damages whatsoever that in any way arise out of, relate to, or are a consequence of, its performance or nonperformance hereunder, or the provision of or failure to provide any Service hereunder, including

-20-    

loss of profits, loss of data, diminution in value, business interruptions and claims of customers, whether or not such damages are foreseeable or any Party has been advised of the possibility or likelihood of such damages.

(b)Except for Liabilities arising out of or related to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Service Provider, in no event will the Service Provider’s aggregate liability arising under or in connection with this Agreement (or the provision of Services hereunder) exceed the Fees paid or payable to the Service Provider from the Service Recipient pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the Service from which such Liabilities flows.

(c)Each Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate the Liabilities for which the other is responsible hereunder.

Any request for re-performance in accordance with this Section 7.1(c) by the Service 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 error, defect or breach becomes apparent to the Service Recipient or should have reasonably become apparent to the Service Recipient. This Section 7.1(c) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.2 Indemnification by Xxxxxxx. Fortrea will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Labcorp Indemnified Parties for any Liabilities incurred by the Labcorp Indemnified Parties to the extent arising from or relating to: (a) any material breach of this Agreement by Fortrea (including in the event resulting in a termination by Labcorp under Section 6.3); (b) any gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith by Fortrea, the other members of the Fortrea Group, or its or their employees, suppliers or contractors, in the provision of the Fortrea Services by Fortrea, the other members of the Fortrea Group or its or their employees, suppliers or contractors pursuant to this Agreement; and (c) the provision of the Labcorp Services by Labcorp, the other members of the Labcorp Group or its or their employees, suppliers or contractors, except to the extent that such Liabilities are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen out of the material breach of this Agreement, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of Labcorp, the other members of the Labcorp Group or its or their employees, suppliers or contractors in providing the Labcorp Services.

Section 7.3 Indemnification by Labcorp. Labcorp will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Fortrea Indemnified Parties for any Liabilities attributable to any Liabilities incurred by to the extent arising from or relating to: (a) any material breach of this Agreement by Labcorp (including in the event resulting in a termination by Fortrea under Section 6.3); (b) any gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith by Labcorp, the other members of the Labcorp Group, or its or their employees, suppliers or contractors, in the provision of the Labcorp Services by Labcorp, the other members of the Labcorp Group or its or their employees, suppliers or contractors pursuant to this Agreement; and (c) the provision of the Fortrea Services

Section 7.4 Exclusive Remedy. Except for equitable relief and rights pursuant to Section 4.2, Section 4.3(b) or ARTICLE V, the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE VII will be the exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement.

Section 7.5 Risk Allocation. Each Party agrees that the Fees charged under this Agreement reflect the allocation of risk between the Parties, including the disclaimer of warranties in Section 3.7 and the limitations on liability in Section 7.1. Modifying the allocation of risk from what is stated here would affect the Fees that are charged for the Services, and in consideration of those Fees, each Party agrees to the stated allocation of risk.

Section 7.6 Indemnification Procedures. All claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.5(d) or this ARTICLE VII will be made in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article IV of the Separation Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, neither Party may assert against the other Party or submit to arbitration or legal proceedings any cause of action, dispute or claim for indemnification which accrued more than two years after the later of (a) the occurrence of the act or event giving rise to the underlying cause of action, dispute or claim and (b) the date on which such act or event was, or should have been, in the exercise of reasonable due diligence, discovered by the Party asserting the cause of action, dispute or claim.

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one Party), each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement and will be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any Party, the other Party will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to the requesting Party.

Section 8.9 Rules of Construction. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a substantive part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with

-24-    

the terms thereof, and if applicable hereof. References in this Agreement to any document, instrument or agreement (including this Agreement) includes and incorporates all exhibits, disclosure letters, schedules and other attachments thereto. Unless the context otherwise requires, any references to an “Annex,” “Section” or “Article” will be to an Annex, Section or Article to or of this Agreement. The use of the words “include” or “including” in this Agreement or the Schedules will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The use of the word “covenant” will mean “covenant and agreement.” The use of the words “or,” “either” or “any” will not be exclusive.

References to statutes will include all regulations promulgated thereunder, and references to statutes or regulations will be construed to include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending or replacing the statute or regulation as of the date hereof. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any provision herein which contemplates the agreement, approval or consent of, or exercise of any right of, a Party, such Party may give or withhold such agreement, approval or consent, or exercise such right, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Parties hereby expressly disclaiming any implied duty of good faith and fair dealing or similar concept.

Section 8.10 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement without proof of actual damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at Law or in equity. Each Party further agrees that no other Party or any other Person will be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.10, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument and will not contest the appropriateness of specific performance as a remedy.

Section 8.11 Precedence of Schedules. Each Schedule attached to or referenced in this Agreement is hereby incorporated into and shall form a part of this Agreement; provided, however, that the terms contained in such Schedule shall only apply with respect to the Services provided under that Schedule. In the event of a conflict between the terms contained in an individual Schedule and the terms in the body of this Agreement, the terms in the Schedule shall take precedence with respect to the Services under such Schedule only. No terms contained in individual Schedules shall otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement.

Section 8.12 Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) hereunder so long as and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment

-25-    

of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. Without limiting the termination rights contained in this Agreement, in the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance of such obligation (other than a payment obligation) shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) provide written notice to the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition; and (b) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than the date that the affected Party resumes analogous performance under any other agreement for itself, its Affiliates or any Third Party) unless this Agreement has previously been terminated under ARTICLE VI.
